Has Fine Mare From Drowning.-Meets
With Peculiar Accident.
A fine large gray mare belonging TO
George Isenhart narrowly escaped drown
ing in Elk creek near the yannort board
ing house on Main street at II O'Clock
Monday morning. Guy Cross, a mem
Der OF the street gang under Street Su.
pcrintendent Isenhart, was engaged with
the mare and a cart in hauling dirt from
the street. He drove the mare to the
edge of the creek bank at that point 20
dump the load into the creek, or rather
over the bank. The cart was driven SO
near the edge of the bank that when it
dumped it fell over the bank and pulled
the mare with it. She fell on her side
in the creek, but struggled to her fee:
and stood tangled in the harness until
she was cut out. The water was at least
five feet deep. and if she had not succeed
CO in gaining her feet, she would I'M
doubtedly have drowned. She escaped
injury. The cart still remains in the
creek.

GUESS AGAIN.

There is little doubt that the Union
Republican leaders seriously contem-
plate the Reorganization OF John Hum
for Governor. Leaders like Layton and
Alice. following the direction Of Ad-
dicks have said that It must be Hunn
and, therefore, Hum 1t will be. The
motive OF Addicks is clear. Governor
HUM has not drawn breath without
first obtaining Addicks' permission
Before his election he promised to be
impartial but his conduct shows that
his highest motive has been to worship
the Gasman and enjoy him forever.
Layton wants to draw the fat salary
that attaches -tolthe ONCE Of Secretary
of State for four years more. He has
thrown his influence to Governor HUM
in return for a promise,o of re-appoint-
ment Alice wishes to make himself
solid in order to go back to the Senate
after the expiration of his four-year
term. Thus the leaders are provided
for--Addieks for the Senate, HUM for
Governor Layton for Secretary Of
state, and Alice for re- election. A pret-
ty bunch OF statesmen and adventurers
forsoothl
And these gentlemen of the road de-
mand that the Regular Republicans
shall support them in their Infamous
conspiracy. They have the efrontery
TO say that unless the Republicans Of
New Castle county shall endorse their
plans and place upon them the gro
esque label of respectahility they will
Lefeat our county ticket. These politl-
cal procurers say to us that unless we
surrender ourselves TO their tender
mercies, they viii not only steal our
honor, but win rob u.s. tool
And the decent Republicans of Dela-
ware are expected to submit to these
conspirators, are they? Wen, It is too
early for the Regular Republicans to
show their hands. and we do not pre-
tend TO prophesy what they will do.
but this is certain: John HUM can new
er be Governor again. c. r. Layton's
term Of public office win end when the
next Governor is inaugurated, and j..
Edward Addicks stands greater
chance OF going into enforced retire
ment than he does OF going to the Sem
ate. There are enough Republicans in
Delaware who are saying nothing at
the present time who are prepared to
prevent the contamination Of such in
fanny.
