ANOTHER EMPL0YE CAUGHT.

Men Arrested for Stealing from the
Arthur Jordan Company.
Time after time cars left half loaded in
the different freight yards have been
emptied during the night and for a long
time the thieves could not be caught. A
few weeks ago the Arthur Jordan Company
caught one of their employees at it and as
a result he was discharged. This. however,
did not check the thieving. which became
worse than ever. Yesterday Hugh Nc
Elvery, another Arthur Jordan employee
and Jesse Hendricks were caught in the act
Of stealing three barrels OF potatoes from
car that the Arthur Jordan Company were
loading with potatoes. These two men, IL is
thought, will be able to throw much light
on the things that have been stolen in the
past.

ONE FIGHT ENDED.
Delaware at Last Secures Full Repre-.
sentation in the Senate.

Dover, Del, March 4.-FOr the first
time in four years the State OF Della.
ware yesterday secured full repre-
sentation in the United States senate.
At a special session the state legiSla.
ture elected State Senator j. Frank
Alice (Union Republican, to the sena.
torship which expires in 1907, and
Congressman l.. Hester Ball Irregular
Republican, to the term expiring in
1905. The selection was undoubtedly
due to pressure from Washington
brought to bear upon the Regular Re
publicans in the legislature who have
all along been opposed to the election
of j. Edward Addicks or any of lis
adherents to the United States senate
Congressman Dick of Ohio came to
Dover yesterday in the interest OF Re.
publican harmony. He advised the
acceptance by the Regular Republic
n of the Union Republicans
Proposition Agreed Upon
In Philadelphia Saturday, that a Union
Republican be elected to the long term
senatorship and a Regular Republican
for the short term, Addicks himself TO
be eliminated.
In expectation Of a settlement of the
senatorial difficulty, politicians and
prominent men from every section OF
the state were present at yesterdays
sessions of the legislature. The cleo
ton OF Messrs. Alice and Ball was an
nounced to an audience that filled the
house of representatives to suffoca'
ton. The noise and confusion on the
part OF those who came to witness the
proceedings was SO great that many of
the legislators became bewildered and
apparently did not know how t vote
when the roll was called.
The election is regarded here as an
Addicks victory because of the refusal
of the Regular Republicans to agree
to a compromise with the Democrats.

LET REVIEWING HIS

Rome, March 3.-Dr. Lapponi. the
pope's physician, made yesterday
morning a last effort to induce his
holiness to his reception of
the cardinals. He demonstrated with
him, saying: Your holiness, my duty
Is to point out that your health would
greatly benefit by your resting to-day"
The pope replied, my dear doctor, be-
fore your valuable advice comes my
duty, which ! shall perform until the
end"
The audience was held in the pore's
private library, and Leo XIII. spoke
continuously for half an hour with the
forty-two cardinals present. No ad-
dress was delivered and the most i'm
portant words were when the pontiff
referred with emphasis to his ad-
vanced age and approaching end. He
was led to speak thereof in reminding
the cardinals that the room in which
he was receiving them vas the same

ence to the possible approach of death
with a chorus of noes and with ex-

wish you a long life" BY this time the
excitement of the reception had i'm
proved Pope Leo's appearance. When
he entered the library his form was
bowed and trembling, but he now
seemed to have acquired strength
and animation. He showed the cardi-
nails a magnificent antique clock
which had just been presented to him
by the Count of Caserta, the head of
the Naples branch of the Bourbon
family. Before retirement he present
ed to each cardinal a richly embel-
lished pamphlet reviewing the chief
events of his p~ontifcate, including a
Latin poem of his w composition
and five of his most important encycli-
calls. His holiness said: 81 will order
that the few cardinals absent, like
Cardinal Gibbons, shall also have it."
