Met Peculiar and Horrible Death.

George Bailey of Altoona, Pa, an EN-
ploye Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
freight car shop met his death in singu-
lar manner. While assisting in adjusting
. safety valve on the dome Of an empty
oil tank car he got into the manhOle to
hold rivet which was about to be driven.
When the rivet entered the side of the
tank an explosion followed and Bailey
was blown out of the manhole and
through the skylight in the roof Of the
shop. The shattered and disemembered
body fell back against the floor of the
shop. The explosion is supposed to have
been caused by an accumulation of gas in
the tank.

BUYING AND SELLING.

TINE Mercantile Association last

concerns not only those who sell
goods, but all who buy. Another
scheme Of getting something for moth

it left open) was before that body.
An organization proposes to come to
Wilmington with the following plan:
The merchants viii be listed in books.
and each VIII allow a discount on goods
sold 10 those holding the books. These
discounts are placed opposite each
firms name. These books are then to
De sold to customers. and the mer-
chants are also required to pay for the
listing Of their names.
Under this plan the merchants would
take on extra expense and bother; the
customer would do the same, and the
only party benefited would be the con-
cern getting up and. selling the books.
As the merchants are now selling as
close as possible. tAey would be COM

SEEKING A PLACE TO RESI-.

E HAVE presumed that the con-
w vention called by the Regular
' v Republican state Committee for
August . is to be a Regular Republi-
can Convention. The Middletown
Transcript evidently thinks otherwise.
We gather from its remarks that IL
thinks that the chief purpose Of that
convention rs to name a ticket suitable
Ito Union Republicans. We believe the
following, In addition to previous ut
.terances, bears that interpretation:
The Transcript believes and hopes
that the state Convention to be held
m Dover ON the 9th of August VIII be
Ia conservative body and will try and
agree upon ticket that all Republicans
can vote for and that as soon thereafter
las possible, the two County Committees
will agree upon common primaries for
this county and it further believes that
Ia thus represents ninety per cent. OF
the Republican voters of this county
and state.
That however, is not the view ex-
pressed 10y the leaders of the party at
IA meeting held in the YOUNG Mems Re-
publican Club, to hear the report of the
delegates returned from Chicago. Such
men as Col Nields, r. Coleman DUPONT,
william n. Heald and r.. c.. Houston
declared In substance that the Regular
Republicans should continue TO wage
their own battle i'm their own way ana
to continue to fight Addicks. That was
the view expressed by Anthony Hig-
gins, Col H. A. DUPONT and Senator
Ban. There was not word Of pro-
test and presumably that meeting
voiced the sentiments Of the party. To
hold, then, that the Regular Republi-
lcans at their convention shall seek first
TO please another party, takes the ad-
yocate of such a policy outside Of the
breastworks. and at the very moment
the battle has begun.
