ious to solve the mystery OF the corset

eral Samuel Thomas, went to Cincinnati
a year later. she asked MIN 70 inquire
further at the hotel about tt. He did so

There was a quarrel and she went home
to mother.
When Mrs. Beekman learned of this.
she wrote to the wife. telling who she
was and how she had lost the corset. The

Dover, Del, Nov. 21.-The United
States senatorial situation had an impor-
tant development when Governor Hum
decided to call a special election for rep
resentatives in the general assembly from
legislative district No. 9 Of Kent county,
embracing Harrington and Pennington.
Upon the result Of this election of one
assemblyman much is conferred. Without
the Harrington representative there are
only fifty-one members of the legislature
and but stwenty-six, therefore, are re-
quired to elect senator when all are
present and voting.
The Addicks republican candidate from
this district. James Wilbur Powell, is tied
with the democrat, Solomon L. Sapp.
Every bit of democratic strength from
every point in Delaware will be conferred
at Harrington and Pennington for the
next fortnight, or until the election is
over and the result known.
The Addicks men, too, will spare no ef-
fort to carry this district, as they now
claim that they are within one vote of
electing the gas man and another repub-
lican upon the first joint ballot.

wholesale Acknowledgement of loyal

as il floats in the breeze loses its
eloquence as it waves over the

operates with lighting effect upon
the eolored tradesmen and mechan
