LIFE In
THE BODY.

Green Creek, N. j., March TO-
This usually quiet little village
has for the last four days been in
u ferment of excitemeet entirely
unique in the history of the town.
Thomas P. Ericsson, one of the
leading merchants OF the county,
who had been i'll for several weeks
with a complication of diseases
which seemed to battle the skill of
the local physicians, several of
whom treated him in turn. was
taken with commissions last Thur
sday, death ensuing soon after the
attack. Undertaken Charles +.
Garreston, Of Cape May Court
House, was summoned and pre-
partitions were made for the fun
eralto be held to-day.
On Friday it was discovered
that the body was still warm, and
the horrible possibility of inter-
ment alive forced itself upon the
bereaved family. A physician was
hastily sent for, and although the
body was still warm, the doctor
assured the relatives that there
was not the slightest doubt but
that life was extinct.
Late last night the last doubts
were dispelled. The funeral was
held this afternoon, and was one
of the largest Witnessed here in
long while. 1t is now known that
diabetes was the cause ST Mr.. En-
rirson death.

Every seat in the Church was
filled with people from the different
parishes in Wilmington. Men aud
women, boys and girls displayed

land that, in the words of Father
Mealcy, never sold its birthrisht
for mess Of pottage and that still
retains that immortal crown OF holy
faith. A special musical program
for the occasion was rendered by
the choir.
Father .Mca.cy said ia part:
''This Is great day. great In

We pray God to day that we may

ALONG POLITI-
CAL LINES.

There is much speculation
among Republicans as to how
the State Committee on Satur-
day next will parry the har-
mony overtures advanced by
the Union Republican State
Committee. The proposition
was made more than a month
ago to State Chairman Philip
Q. Churchman and other Re-
publican leaders,
The Union Republican pro-
posal is for a joint State Con
vention, to be composed of dele
gates elected at common pri-
marics. The convention is to
reorganizc the factions into the
Republican party Of Delaware,
and a new State Committee to
conduct the campaign is to be
organized. The Addicks men
propose a system of apportion-
ment that would allow them to
control the convention by at
least 100 delegates to IS dele
gates.
The Kent and Sussex County
members of the Regular Re-
publican State Committee are
opposed to any compromise
that will advance the political
interests of Addicks, and, as
they control the Committee,
they are expected to reject the
harmony proposition.
However, it is expected that
negotiations looking toward a
compromise will be opcned,and
that in the end two State con-
vcntions will be held, after
which the leaders Of both
factions will attempt to compro-
mise on "A ticket. This plan
was followed successfully in the
last campaign, when the Re-
publican comprimose ticket was
elected. James b. Slaymaker.
who has long posed as one OF
Kent county's most uncom-
promising anti-Addicks Re-
publicans, gave out a written
interview in which he opposes
further fighting among the Re-
publicans, even ifthc gasman's
cause must triumph. That, he
thinks is better than turning
the State back to the Demo-
Gratis, which he says, will be
the inevitable result Of two
tickets. Slaymaker says:
"IIcrc, Oh the other hand, is
something for every member of
the Republican party to serious
ly ponder and lay to heart;
that, unless the party discords
of the bast are buried in the
dead past, and unless we unite
as one old and true Republican
party without any sirnamcs,
we must meet with certain de-
feat at the next election, and .
the State Government must
pass into the control of the
Democrat party. 1t is a fact,
and a very humiliating one,
that our State has not been rep
rcscn ted at our National
Capital for many years, both
factions at times having disrc-
;ardcd the right ofthc majority
o rule the party--a right that
I'll must admit forms the basis
