James B. Bradley, Trustee, Re

Long Unclaimed

Through reading the columns OF The
Evening Journal james b. Bradley OF New
Castle has come in possession Of sum
of money which has long been due him
as trustee for the estate Of Alice Brady,
deceased.
Some years ago when The Diamond
state Loan Company was doing business
In ,his city among its shareholders was

When the concern ceased to do busi-
ness in 1892 Alfred Gawthrop was APP
poin-ed to wind up IT'S affairs and all
claims were settled with the exception of
the one above mentioned. Mr.. Gawthror
placed the money in bank and advertised
for the woman but without effect and In
1895 the money was placed IN the VIII.

COLORED MEN
SEE DEMOCRATS
LITTLE CAME
Campaign Being Waged
Against Black Race All
Over the State
NEGROES GREATLY ALARMED
Liberties and Privileges VIII
be Curtailed if Legisla-
ture Is Democratic

The colored men all over the State
ARE greatly alarmed over the effort the
Democra 5 .Fill make in case they are
successful at the coming election to
disfranchise them. The plot was first
made known at q meeting OF the DEM
ocratic League on January 2S last when
Josiah Marvel I'm a speech gave away
the whole plan, threatening TO not only
force Jim Grow cars on the race but TO
Idisfranchise the negroes.
After the speech was delivered the
Democrats did not have much to say
about IT, Cold water was thrown on
any attempt to discuss IL publically but
secretly the plot was laid to rob the
black man Of all the rights he has
under the constitution. This is proven
by a Story sent out from Laurel on
Saturday and appearing IN the Sunday
star yesterday This story showed
that the Democrats were determined to
curtail the liberty OF the colored citi-
zens.
The writer did not write a dozen
lines before this statement was made:
Democratic success especially on the
! Legislative branch OF the ticket will
mean Acknowledgement Of the negro.
Jim crow cars, ana general suppress
sion OF the blacks"
Another paragraph is
This has led the Democratic leaders
to sound The note an over the county.
that the fight Is to be squarely white
against black-tho white man against
the negro"
Here is another paragraph published
to excite and prejudice the white yot-
lers:
"rhe hordes Of Maryland ana Vlr-
lginia negroes who tried in vain to get
registered this year are a plain in
ldication OF what may be expected IN
this county two years from now. They
j. viii then be here by the hundreds. and
e they'll be entitled 10 register. Wher
l. that happens they'll control every legis
i lative district in the county They holt
,cl a great deal more than the balance o
power on the Republican side IN eacl
district now and they know It, Strangl
negroes from other sections are her,
p lamong them now. telling them OF tn,
lpower which Is now theirs politicail,
and how they can strengthen IL b,
r. getting citizenship rights for the mex
campaign
Just such stories as the above hav,
had the effect OF arousing the colore,
men to the knowledge that their onl,
safety lies IN voting the Republican
ticket. Evidence has been found an,
in fact Democratic leaders in all thre,
counties freely admit that II Is theii
. intention to disfranchise the coloret
man.

Freight Train
FATHER AND MOTHER DEAD

Without father or mother and but
coming thirteen years of age. little
Judson Harris has been buffeted around
the country for three years. His home
is in Birmingham. Alabama, and a
sturdy little heart beats beneath his
shirt.
According to the youngster he has
been an iron worker" and recently
worked in the coal fields in West Nir-
ginia. His hands are black with coal
dust which has been ground into the
skin through days of hard toll.
The youngster was picked up by Pa
trolman Michael Maloney beyond Third
street bridge early this morning. Be-
ing scantily attired he was shivering
with the cold and hunger gnawed at his
stomach. Upon arriving at the police
station Matron White took him in
charge and in a short time his hunger
was satisfied and his little body
warmed.
To a reporter for The Evening Jour
nal this morning the boy said his
mother died four years ago and his
father was buried a year later. He
worked for time i'm an iron plant in
Alabama and boarded with a man
named Leonard. After he left Ala
bama he travelled on freight trains as
far as the West Virginia coal fields
where he obtained immediate employ
ment. AS the work was hard he de-
cided to go to Philadelphia and sue
ceeded in reaching Wilmington before
he fell into the hands of the police.
Agent Frank stout of the S. p. c. G.
is out of the city at present and the
boy will be held until his return, which
will probably be on Wednesday. In the
meantime the boy will be held at the
police station.

may be held by the claimants begin

til 500 worth OF work shall have been

Some claim holders begin their work
in October or November and do 500
worth of work, and continue into the
succeeding year. when they do an adj
dltional 500 worth. BY this arrange
ment they are required to visit the
claim only once in two years instead Of
yearly. If an amount of work be per-

the following year. 1t is true that in
saving a claim from relocation a claim
holder may begin the work for 1904 in

may not do work for 1905 in 1904.
