06b. During the year ended September 3Oth,
1901, the cearings amounted to $40, ace, 5g1,
which shows that there was an increase the
past year over the preceding year of $3.50
i74, nearly sI50,0O0 a month.
The question of State tax was dieou5sed
and ii was the sentiment that tho banks
should DO relieved of that tax No action
was taken, but it is likely that the matter
will be brought before the Legislature at it.

WARNS GRAND JURY OF PLOT.
Chief Justice Blocks Runored Int

ference OF Alleged Gamblers.
Georgetown, Oct. 7.-Chief Justice Lore
sprang a surprise upon the grand jury yes
terday afternoon. He had spent Sunday in
this county and heard of plot to approach
all jurymen In the interests of six prominent
men caught in gambling raid at Lewes.
The Chief Justice said; This is a grave
contempt of court. ANY interference with
fair and Just administration of the crimi-
nal laws of this State Is intolerable. You are
not to be influenced one iota by what you
hear outside concerning facts or circurn-
stances of case, but only by the evidence
that is presented to you by the attorney-gen-
eral clothed with the authority Of the law. -
Shortly before court opened Elmer Col
Inns, charged with the murder of his wife,
who had been released on habeas corpus
proceedings, walked into the office of his
counsel, former Attorney General White,
and appeared to be anxious to be placed on
trial. Attorney General Ward got to work
on the case and 1t may be tried In Oyer and
Terminer Court next Wednesday. William
Waite Pratt, the negro charged with the
murder by Collins friends, was brought
into court in the afternoon. The State
abandoned the charge of murder against
him, and he was charged with assaulting
James Anderson. near Delinnr,. two days
after Mrs. Collins murder. The jury found
him nat guilty by reason of insanity, and
he was committed to the State hospital. b

Republican County Nominations.

Republican County Nominations.
The Republican county ticket chosen
at the primary election, Saturday
afternoon, may DO accepted as a very
good one, with single exception.
Aside from the sheriff and coroner, the
other nominations marked an open
contest between the Addicks Republi-
cans and anti-Addicks Republicans, in
which the former carried off one place
and the latter two.
The place captured by the Addicks
Republicans was register of Wills, for
which Frederick +. Bach was nomi-
mated over Francis NJ. Walker by a
majority Of about 500 Bach was sup
ported by the solid Addicks vote and
the almost solid negro vote, the latter
enabling him to pull through, com
hined with the liberal use of money
which was undoubtedly employed in
behalf of all the AddicKs candidates,
particularly those for the Legislature.
Tho contest for recorder of deeds was
s1uarely between tho Addicks candi-
date, State Detective Ratledge, and
James s. Moore. The latter won by
a majority Of about $500, and this
result fairly proves that the Addicks
Republicans arc IN large minority il

Both Impudent and Ignorant,

With his customary impudeuce, Boss
Addicks took it upon himself, on
Friday last, it is said, to telegraph to
the Presidents private secretary, Mr..
Cortelyou, relative to the vacancy in
the Office of United States attorney for
the district OF Delaware. After sug-
costing "the Presidents position Of
neutrality" as the proper ono "to
observe in Delaware matters until after
the election" he recommended that
the President make no appointment
of district attorney" but ''allow"
Judge Bradford to make an appoint
ment ad interim. And from the fact
that Judge Bradford did not announce
his appointment until Saturday even
ing, Addicks and his satellites claim
that they we're thereby recognized
by the President. So much for Addicks
impudenoe.
Now, the law bearing upon the sub
ject, which was enacted June Gath,
1898, says: THAT in the cases of a
vacancy in either of said offices
| district attorney or United States
marshall, the District Court of the
United States for the district where
such vacancy exists, the Supreme Court
of the Territory and he.Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, may an
point persons to exercise the duties OF
said such offices, within their respectiv,
jurisdictions, until such vacancy shall
be filled. /"
1t goes without saying that Judg
Bradford is entirely familiar with thi
law, and was aware that the selection
was vested exclusively with the court
The appointment therefore, was in n
manner affected by any telegram tina
Addicks may have impudently sent t
the Presidents secretary or to anybod
else. Here is where the Addick
ignorance applies.

In one respect the defeat for rsnom

In one respect the defeat for renomi-
nation of Levy Court Commissioner S.
Frank Ewart is to be regretted. Dur
ing his brief service in the Levy Court
he proved himself an honest and capa-
BILE member, one of the kind that the
Levy Court stood sadly in need OF. The
only explanation of his defeat is that
the Republican voters of his district
could not stand his Addicks Repuhli
can affiliations, for they defeated him
as overwhelmingly as though his official
record had been one of the worst, in
stead of one of the best.

performance most grateful to him
when tired, until he was as sleek and
shiny as any well cared for little calf
should he.
But this very excess of care. prompt
ed by mothers love, hastened the day
of sorrow, for a cattle buyer looking
through the corral was particularly
pleased with the little brown fellow
lying so contendedly nestled against
his mother, who regarded him with
proud eyes.
What will YOU take for him?" en-
quired he, of the owner, and soon
bargain was made. He was taken
out of his pleasant home. away from
his mother and loaded into a wagon;
then came long tiresome ride over
rough roads The little brown calf
was scared half TO death and the
jolting made him sick, but the climax
of his misery came when he was load
ed into railway car and left alone.
He trembled with fright and shivered
with cold, and he longed with all his
little heart for his mother.
When the pangs of hunger were add.
ed to his other mlseries he could en-
dure II no longer and his plaintive
cries of ma ma-a-. ma-a-a!' were
heart-rendng in their pitifulness. There
are tragedies in animal as well as
human lives, and this is but one more
such added TO Akron's history.
