Special to the Evening Journal
New Castle, March 14-In spite of
afidavlts, resolutions. petitions, letters
and what not, John G. King has been
reappointed postmaster at New Castle.
President Roosevelt sent the nomina-
tion to the Senate on Saturday.
Mr.. King has always been a staunch
Regular Republican and. consequently
had many political enemies. To offset
this, however he had many loyal
friends who endorsed him. and to what
purpose the appointment itself attests.
The opposition pltted Ozro Lunt
against Mr. King with the hope of
/ pluclng the $1,000 plum for the repre-
sentative of the Union Republicans.
senator Ball was back of the King
forces and Senator Alice was urged by
the Union workers to pull their cam
didate through Both sides worked
hard. yet little OF their activity was
visible, but conducted on the still hunt
plan. The appointment is a severe set
back TO the Union followers, and is re-
garded as a complete rout in New Cas-
tie.

A dog belonging to edward Gallo
way and suffering from hydrophobia,
spread terror on the streets of this

Officer Tobin killed five of Biddle's
dogs.
1t is not known that any other dogs
We're bitten by Galloway's dog. and all
though the children had a narrow es-
cape, no serious consequences are ap-
pretended from the animals attack on

dogs within a. short time that have
been bitten.
