An ETort to Have Every Lodge in the State
Represented ut the Reunion.
The Odd Fellows jubilee at Brandy
wine Springs Park next Saturday will
be a bigger event than was at first
supposed. There is every reason to
believe, judging from the reports re-
ceived by the committee of arrange
ments that the prime object-a re-
union Of the Odd Fellows of Delaware
will be fully accomplished, and, in ad
dition to this the members Of the order
will have an opportunity to meet
thousands OF their friends who are not
members OF tho order, provided the
weather is favorable on that day.
While it will he Odd Fellows day, the
attendance will by no means be re-
stricted TO the Odd Fellows and their
families. Tho public will be welcome
and the committee extends an invita-
tion to all who can make it convenient
to visit tho park on that day. There
will be some interesting attractions in
addition to the regular PAL X attractions,
and an effort will be made to make it
the biggest event OF the kind in the
history of Odd Fellowship in Delaware.
From present indications, every lodge
in the State will be represented, and il
is expected that nearly the entire mem
bership in this county will be on hand
and partipate in the review, winch

CECIL TROLLEY WAR. :

Elkton, Md, Aug. &c. The trolley
line war between the Cherry Hill,
Elkton g. Chesapeake City Electric
Co. and the Kent II Cecil Light, Power
and Railway Go. over franchise for
the use of public roads between Elkton
and Chesapeake City took new turn
yesterday.
The first-named company was granted
the right to use the public roads be-
tween Elkton and Chesapeake City
nearly two years ago, and last week
opposed the proposition before the
County Commissioners to grant a
franchise to the Kent & Cecil company
for use Of the same public roads. The
franchise was, however, granted by the
commissioners.
Yesterday representatives of the
Cherry Hill, Elkton & Chesapeake
City company had material shipped to
Elkton, including several rails. They
had it hauled to the Elkton- Chesa-
peake City public road between here
and Holley Hall, which they laid in
the shape of a track.
1t is understood that when the Cecil
& Kent company commences the work
of constructing their road the Cherry
Hill, Elkton Il Chesapeake City com.
pany will ask the court for an in.
junction. The old company claims thai
the franchise granted to it about two
years ago is still operative.
The County Commissioners we're in
special session yesterday to make
further arrangements with the Kent &
Cecil company, but owing to tn,
Tennis Construction Co., which i.
backing the Kent g. Cecil company
having not yet completed arrangements
for franchise over several public
roads in Delaware, the company wa
granted two weeks more time to pu
up 81, 500 as q guarantee that the roat
will be built within nine months.

Two Fishermen Drowned--Three Others

San Francisco, CAL, Aug. 90. The
fishing schooner Stanley, which has
returned from Bering Sea, reports that
on May 18th Second Mate Manuel
Cadoza was lost during a storm on
Bristol Bay. His dory, waterlogged
and empty, was picked up several days
later. On june 9Th four dories were
hidden from sight by o dense fog. One
of them, that Of Martin Scofin, was
never seen again, and Scofn is sup
posed to have been lost. Another Of
the missing dories, containing John
Quist, was picked up by the Stanley
after an absence OF four days and three
nights Quist was feeble from hunger
and exposure. The other boats con-
tanned Hans Larsen and Olaf Olsen of
this city, who had shipped for the
voyage out of curiosity to see the
Arctic. They were lost in the fog for
10 days and nights. After being tossed
about for four days, they made land
and lived on raw fish until picked up
by the Stanley. 9ql

GOOD Advice to Democrats.

The Newark Ledger editorially gives
the following excellent advice to those
who aspire to the Democratic nomi-
nations for tho various Offices to bo
filled at the next election:
Personal feeling must be laid aside
in tho Democratic party. The only
way to win is by united party adj
yocating the best. principles, and honor
ing the strongest men with place on
the ticket. 1t is impossible for all
candidates to secure nomination for
the Office desired. 1t is possible, how
ever, for all defeated candidates to
work for the good of the party. If
personal feeling is allowed to enter
into the contest, tho result can easily
be foretoli. Thore must be q solid
party, working for the best good; adj
vocating the best wishes of the people ;
allowing small things to 20, and work
ing upon the broad limos of unity and
strength of party that has the best
interest of the State at heart.
1t is hoped that this advice will fall
upon willing cars and be productive oil
good results. That a large element
of disappointment and dissatisfaction
should attend contest for political
prize where there are numerous CON
testants and can DO but one victor, il
only natural; but tho feelings OF dis
appointment and dissatisfaction SHOULD
not be permitted to extend to the
election.
These primary contests are a fire.,
fight for all who may choose to partici
pate in them. They are also fai
fight now, as the law throws arount
primary elections in New Castle count.
all the protection that is given
general election. The contestants
therefore. are assured of q fair vot
and an honest announcement Of tn
result
This being the case, the contention
Of the primary should cease at tn
close of the nomination election, whel
all interests should unite in supporting
the successful nominees -provided, o
course, that they arc good and worth.

They made us q counter offer, and neither

Washington, Aug. 25.--The United States
soldiers are reaping the benefits of the
generosity of Congress in permitting them
to hank their money with the War Depart
ment, with interest at per cent. This, was
granted them years ago when the rnte of
interest was and 8 per cent. During the
last fiscal year the soldiers had to their
credit on deposit the sum of $4,000, Co.,
Inasmuch as the savings banks nowadays
offer two and three per cent. the soldiers
are lucky fellows. One man has already
drawn $4,000 and another $40. 600 and the
number and the amount of deposits are in
creasing yearly. Not only ia the rate OF
interest greater, but the bank is absolutely
burglar-proof and for all time solvent.

had called upon him, saying that he
wished the Republicans at the South
would pay more attention to getting
votes for Republican candidates for
Congress" than to fighting among
themselves. Perhaps he feels the same
way towards Delaware Republicans,
and this attitude gave rise to the
recent report that he had determined
to recognize the Addicks Republicans,

knows by this time that his recogni
