Charles Rotthouse of Brandywine
hundred was arraigned before Magis-
trate Brady Saturday charged With
keeping wagon belonging to Frank
g. Pierce, also of Brandywine hun
dred. Rotthouse was represented by
w. F. kurtz and j. Frank Ball repre-
sented Pierce. Rotthouse was held
under $500 bail for the upper court.
Pierce says he sent wagon belonging
to him to Rotthouse to be repaired and
given general overhauling, and that
after Rotthouse had it for a few days
he sent it to him, but it was not
repaired as he wanted it, so he sent it
back to be fixed over. This, he alleged,
Rotthouse refused to do, SO he sent /.
letter to Pierce to come and get his
wagon, Pierce refused to do this,
claiming that it was not fixed the way
the contract called for. A few days ago
it was reported Rotthouse had sold
Pierce's wagon, hence Pierce brought
suit against Rotthouse to get his wagon
back.

THEY May LOSE THIS STATE

Bring Defeat on the Party.
CONGRESSMAN BALL INTERVIEWED
BY a Correspondent of the Bal
timOre Sun.
II the Republicans Do Not Unite, Says the
Representative From Delaware, the
Democrats VIII Garry the stnte-The
Latter Are Confident of Success.
Baltimore Sun Special.

Baltimore Sun Special.
Washington, Sept. 3.-Representa-
tive L. II. Ball of Delaware says there
is grave danger of the Republicans
losing that State.
The political situation IN Delaware
encourages Democrats, who are stiiv-
ing for supremacy there. Great i'm
portance is laid upon the divisions
among the Republicans of the State
The assertion is made with confidence
that unless the Addicks and DUPONT
factions unite and present solid front
the Democrats will carry the State
next November. Representative Ball
takes this view of the situation.
"Events in the politics of Delaware
between now and the election Will
serve to determine the result" he
said to correspondent Of The Sun
this evening. Everything depends
upon whether the two faction of the
Republican party combine to fight the
Democratic party.
"One thing is certain: Ii the Re-
publicans do not get together and put
but one ticket in the field the Demo.
Gratis will carry the State. They will
secure q majority in the next Legisla-
| ture, which is to select two men to the
United States Senate, and they will
secure the single Congressional district
in the State.
ut appears to be question whether
the Republicans will lay aside theii
differences and coalesce. Yesterday
the Addicks faction held their conven'
tion. They indorsed all the candi
dates who have been named by tht
dupont Republicans with the excep
tion of me. | have been renomlnatee
by the dupont people to run again fol
Congress. The Addicks people de
clined to indorse me. This looks bat
for Republican success in the Con
gressional election.
sin New Castle county it is prob
able. that we shall have but one ticket
but in the other two counties the situa
tion is not clear. No settlement ha
yet been made, and it is impossible &
say that there will be any.
"The presentation Of single ticket il
those two counties will depend largel.
upon Mr.. Addicks. 1t is hoped tina
there will be harmony. With singl
ticket the Republicans will be able t
carry the State, but | must comics
that with two tickets the Republican
will lose. +"

A Wilmington Printer Loses $299.43 In
Buffalo.
Special CORRESPONDENCE of Gazette and Journal.
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 5.-George
Robinson, a printer, who halls from
Wilmington, Del, was robbed of $685. 43
last night
Robinson alleges that he suffered an
epilectic fit, and when falling his head
struck the sidewalk ana his SCALP was
cut He was accompanied by Alfred
johnson, also of Wilmington. Both
meN zentered the Arlington Hotel, and
johnson went in search of carriage.
Meanwhile patrolman was called,
andBoffi ser Golden. who responded, sent
Robinson to the Emergency Hospital
for treatment. In the patrol wagon
Robinson asked Golden to take mis-
wallet, which was in his hip pocket,
and Golden said they would take care
OF it at the police station. Robinson
appeared more intoxicated than suffer-
ing from fit, and Golden was loath to
believe his story about the wallet. He
felt for it, however, and found it in
the pocket, but did not take it. After
Robinson's wound had been dressed at
the hospital, he was locked up at the
First Precinct Station on the charge of
intoxication. He was searched, and
the wallet was missing. All he had was
67 cents. He was arraigned in court
this morning, but the judge suspended
sentence.
Acting Capt. Ward will make a
thorough Investigation, and has put
three detectives on the case. There is
no doubt but that Robinson had the
money. as Johnson saw it. Robinson's
tickets for Wilmington were in the
wallet also.
