Many Ate Cheese and Crackers
Owing to a wreck down the road, the
nOrthbOund train was four hours late.
and instead of leaving Dover at 517
o'clock in the afternooS, it left at 9.15
o'clock in the evening. Candidates and
delegates whose homes were in the
northern part of Kent county put in
four miserable hours waiting around
the station, not disposed to leave for
fear the train would arrive while they
we're away. Some more venturesOme
than others, were driven to despera-
tion by hunger, and prevailed upon G.
A. Millington, of the Capitol Hotel, to
serve them with supper at 8 o'clock
10,
as people who eat in the State capital
are supposed to be on hand at meal
times.

station we're visited, and cakes, pea
nuts. small pies. cheese and crackers
were purchased.

from Kenton hundred. and William H.

mitteeman from Townsend, could be
seen sitting in one of the windows of
the station side by side, eating peanuts.

sentative John Hutchinson, of the
Third district, each purchased an apol-
Ogy for a clam stew, and were glad to
get it. even if the crackers served with
it were stale. Franklin BrOckson, the
well-known Wilmington attorney, pur-
chased wedge Of cheese and some
sweet cakes, and his invitation to help
eat it was promptly accepted by sew
eraL lt.saI gr 'sSy2 81!
