EIFT1ETH ANNIVERSARY

ST. GEORGES, Oct. l1ths 14Ul.
All day services were held in the NJ.
e. Church on Sunday, commerative of
it's fiftieth anniversary. The severe
storm in the morning interferred in a
measure with the services, but fair
sized congregation greeted the speaker,
Rev. w. N. Dawson, OF Wesley Church,
Wilmington, who preached the word
very acceptably. The afternoon exercises
commenced with song service, followed
by brief history of the church by the
pastor, Rev. ]. H. Geoghegan, after
which Rev. w. G. Rooms, of New Castle
delivered an abif5 sermUn. fhe BYEuinE
service started with the Epworth League
at seven o'clock, Rev. DIR. j. r. Miiligan,
of the Presbyterian Church, made an
interesting address on the league topic,
which was very much enjoyed. Rev. e.
I'll. Collins, Of Lewisville, Pa, q former
pastor, preached the evening sermon.
The musical program of the day was
wonderfully helped by Mr.. D. Holten
Roberts, of Philadelphia, who very kindly
rendered some of his beautiful selections
at each service. His solo Beyond the
Gates of Paradise" was especially en-
joyed. The choir was also assisted at the
evening service by Miss R. 7. Cam and
Mrs. Margaret Reybold, of the Presby-
terian Church. Special services have
been held this week. Preaching by Rev.
L. w. Layfield. of Camden, on Tuesday
evening; Rev. w. N. Dawson, of Will
mington, Wednesday evening; Rev. DR..
]. z. Milligan on Thursday evening, and
Rev. S. o. Gibbons on Friday evening.
Next week Rev. B. F. Jester, of Boz
mans, Nd, will be present and assist in
the meetings. A great revival is earnestly
hoped for by the pastor and his people.

COAL IN eIGHT

Thanks to the ability and de.
termination of President Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the long struggle
between the miners andoperators
Of the anthracite coal mines has
ended in a compromise. The
miners gain in that the principle
of arbitration Is recognized and
the operators refuse to deal with
the Union, but grant arbitration
to the several miners as such.
The President has selected an
able body of arbitrators, the six
men named being the best in
their several professions. Della
ware Ia honored by having Judge
GRAY named as one Of them.
It is now time to mine coal and
we have no doubt that the miners
are as anxious to go to work as
the consumer is to get coal.
After five months idlsness, OF
course, there will be many re-
pairs to be made and it may be
three or four weeks before the
mines are running at their full
capacity. In the meantime
there viii be enough shipped te
give everyone some coal, anc
the danger Of suffering is largely
removed.

q. ". ". NAupAM

In the midst Of the hearing OF
q contested election case on
Tuesday the Republican County
Committee was shocked to hear
this announcement, "Mr. G. w.
w. Naudain, q member of this
committee from West st. Georges
Hundred dropped dead at Fourth
and Broome streets, this after
noon.p There was present nearly
the full membership of the COM
mittee, and so deeply were the
members affected that for time
all interest in the case ceased
and business was entirely sus-
pended. The shock to his fellow
citizens of this town, was as
great or greater. Leaving here
as he did, at 1923, apparently
in better health than usual, his
purpose being to return the next
day after spending the night
with his brother, it seemed al
most incredible to believe that
the sad news could be true.
Mr.. Naudain will be sorely
missed by all classes in this
community. As President of
Town Council, President of the
Peoples Bank, President of the
Middletown Manufacturing Com
pany, besides his other relations,
he was brought into daily con-
tact with large numbers Of our
citizens. To all he was uni
formly cordial. While not born
in this town, he came here in
his early manhood and all of his
interests were here. AS a mer-
chant his success was due en-
tirely to his honesty and fair
dealing.
After his retirement from &C
tive business he devoted himself
largely to the upbuilding of the
town which he loved. He was
largely instrumental in securing
to the town it's new industries
especially the shirt factory and
was ever ready to give of his
time and means to and in promot-
ing the welfare Of the commun-
ity.
AS a Republican Mr.. Naudain
was known throughout the State
for his sturdy opposition to all
measures which he considered
TO be opposed to the best inter
ests Of the State and his party.
When the interests of these two
appeared to conflict, there was
no hesitation on his part in
opposing the party. His first
fealty was to his State. While
he never held public Office, his
advice and counsel was always
welcomed, and was freely given
when sought. Many knew him
and all admired and respected
the man for what he was, s,-one OF
natures noblemen.

BOARD WILL DECIDE.
Three County Officers Hold Key
to Republican Primary.

Deputy County Clerk Oscar SwayZe
has filed his protest against the Re
publican nomination made at the prim-
aries last spring holding over until the
coming fall election.
Swayze claims that the paper which
was supposed to have been sworn to by
A members of the old committee is not
legally drawn. The charge is made by
Swayze, who was defeated for county
clerk at the primary, that the statement
on the paper that the men signed and
swore to the statement in the office and
In the present of E. A. Austin is not a
fact. He claims that members signed
the paI=ar in other places than the office
and that the oath was not administered
properly and that the chairman, J. e.
Larifner. has not signed the certificate
as required by law.
County Attorney Nichols, County
Clerk Wright and Clerk of the District
Court Callahan constitute the board
that will decide the question. Those
county officers are named in the Aus
tralian ballot law as the ones to decide
such questions. Last spring j. E. Lari-
county central committee, attempted to
file a certificate of nomination with
County Clerk Wright that the nominal
tons had been made for general cleo
ton to be held in November. 1901. Coun-
ty Clerk Wright, acting upon the deeis-
ion that the biennial election law was
good, refused to receive the certificate.
Last week A members of the old COM
mittee signed a sworn statement that
the nominations were made for the
next general election, which will be in
November, 1902. That was filed with the
county clerk and Swayze filed his OBJ
lection to it. The Republican county
central committee will meet Wednes-
day. If the committee decides that the
nominations are good for next Novem-
Der then the county board will ratify
that action on Thursday If the COM
mittee decides that the nomination
shall not hold over the board will sus-
tain SwayZe's objections. If the central
committee takes no action on the mat
ter Wednesday then the board will have
to decide and it is probable that the de-
tons holding over.
