DEMOCRATIC POLITICS
IN SEVENTH DISTRICT
They Include Nominations for a State
Senator and Two Members Of the
House Of Representatives.
BR0CKSON AND ROBERTS MAY
FIGHT 1T OUT FOR SENATOR
Hot Contest for Representa-
tive in Blackbird.
AFFAIRS ARE QUIET IN AppOQUINlMINK

Special Correspondence OF Gazette and journal.
Townsend, May 8. The Seventh
Senatorial district of Nav Castle
county, composed of the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth RepresPn ative districts
tAppoquinimink ana Blackbird hun
drods) elects d State Senator this fall,
to succeed George NJ. d. Hart, Demo
crat. As the district is strongly Demo-
cratic, the only interest manifested is
as to whom the Democrats will present
rs their candidate.
According to tho rules of the PARTY
the nomination will come from Black
bird hundred. Early in the year it was
understood that Representative Andrew
j. Wright would be q candidate for
senatorial nomination, but he has de-
cided to try for a denomination to the
lower house. b. Frank David was
Thought to he an aspirant, but after u
short campaign he has withdrawn. j.
a. Latta, VINO was an unsuccessful
candidate for Representative at the
nomination in 1898 and 1850, has been
brought out by his friends, but as yet
does not seem to develop much strength.
James Roberts has also entered the
race and seems TO be very formidable
candidate. 1t ia also understood that
the many friends of ex Representative
Richard G. BroclSson will present his
name to the voters Of the district.
Should this he done there will be q
battle royal in the lower Eart of New
Castle county such as has not been
seen in many years. Both Roberts and
Brocks0n are good men and the dis
trict will be we'll represented no matter
which one wins
Some weeks ago there seemed to have
been combination among some Of tho
leaders in each hundred in favor of
James Roberts for Stat Senator,
Edward Hart for Representative in
Appoquinimink and A j. Wright for
Representative in BlaGkbird, but tho
bringing out If Mr.. Grockson seems to
have broken this slate. The hackers
of tho above combination may be able
to pull through, but it will only be
after a hard fight.
Edward Hart seems to be practically
agreed upon as the nominee for Repre-
sentative from APPOINTMENTS.
In BlaclSbird hundred things are
different and the lively contests which
characterized the primaries there in
1898 and 1900 will be repeated again in
1902. The two candidates mostly
spoken of are the present Representa-
tive, A. j. Wright, and George II.
Donovan, VINO represented the hundred
in the Legislature of 1899. Tho contest
is now on and each candidate is making
a thorough canvas of the hundred
There seems to be disposition among
some to drop both and take mp a new
man, but rs the lines are already
sharply drawn, this is hardly likely
Whatever may happen, Mr. Wright
will be a candidate until the primary
| election is over.

CAUGHT IN AWFUL FLOOD.
Four Men Dead and Four Others Terribly
Burned.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 6-Four mon
are dead, two others are dying and still
two others are terribly burned by being
caught in torrent of molten metal
last night in an open hearth pit at the
Pennsylvania steel works, Steclton. All
of the men were Austrians. Yautto
Morevich was burned to crisp. The
men were at work in pit behind the
checkers, when tho iron either boiled
over or the furnace burned out, and
the entire pit was turned into pool
of fire. The pit boss, Charles f.
Lockett, gave cry of warning as the
iron commenced to flow into tho pit,
and three of the lahorers needed his
cry and escaped fatal injury. The
others, thinking evidently that the
overflow was q slight one, similar to
those which occur frequently at the
furnaces, pressed against the side of
the pit and we're caught in the awful
flood.

The Jim Crow law of Virginia
furnishes the curious incident of dis
elimination against colored people on
railway cars right under the shadow of
the National Capital. The Washington
and Mount Vernon Railway comes
under the operation of the Virginia law
as soon as it is outside the line of the
District of Columbia, and so it has to
provide separate accommodations on
its cars. There are no dividing parti-
tions, but placards direct the colored
people to the five seats in the rear.
Here they must stay so long as the cal
is on Virginia territory, but as soon as
the limits of the District of Columbia
are entered upon they may sit where
they please.
