Special to The Evening Journal.


Dover. Aug. 25.-The sudden nomination
Of DIT. Hiram R. Burton for Congress by
the Union Republican convention on
TUESDAY at once started the rumor that
DR.. Burton's activity. solicitation and
subsequent naming for the place was the
direct result Of deal. and that he is later
to resign in favor OF Horace C. Know.es
the Regular Republican nominee.
Dr. Burton. however. denies any such
deal and also disclaims having had any
intercourse with Mr.. Knowles Of late.
Dr. Burton, in denying the existence Of
any covenant concerning the nominations,
said
Il think the Republicans Of this state,
even the people Of the State without re-
gard to faction will be, satisfied with this
ticket. The majority Of the Republicans
have to be considered and p.eased, and
when you get men who have tried to do
the night ali their lives and not only walk
uprightly. but uphold Republican prin-
cipi1s when that meant something, the
people, really. hnd no fauit.
Il am OF course In favor OF majority
rule. / am delighted with the honor that
has been conferred upon me and believe
that I can pol a large vote, in this coun-
| " and Sussex In particular.
"But. speaking for myself, and I am
confident for every single Republican nom
mated by the Union Republicans. that
designations would be forthcoming from
every one Of US IL we are made to see.
if all conditions pointed TO US tnat our
designations were necessary steps to con-
unuing the State Of Delaware in Republi-
can control"

tions by convention and no more tickets

to make the season a short tone as the

BY the first of September the birds
will be in fairly good shape, but until

EXPECTED
Inquest on the Death of AL
bert Constable Reveals
No New Facts
POLITICAL ENEMIES HINTED At
William Hops and John
Holland, Colored Suspects
Were Released
speeIaI to rhe EvenIng Journal.

Elkton. Aug 25.-So far no arrests
have been made in the Albert Constable
murder case although new and sensa-
tional developments miy be expected at
any hour.
At an inquest held in Baltimore last
evening corners jury, inquiring into
the facts OF the death OF the Hon. AL
bert Constable, gave the following ver-
dict:
Resolved. That Albert Constable
died about 3.i5 p. m. on Monday after
noon at the Union Presbyterian Infirm-
AIRY from injuries TO the spinal cord and
lungs due to a pistol bullet fired by a
party or parties unknown to the jury"
AS a result Of the verdict John Hol-
land and William Hops. the two coll
ored men who were arrested upon sus-
picion OF being concerned In the muir
der Of Mr.. Constable, were released.
An Important Witness.
The most important witness was the
colored man. Holland who was the first
person 10 reach Mr.. Constable after he
was shot, and who brought the first
word Of the shooting to Elkton. Hol-
land stuck to his story in every detail.
Notwithstanding the skllful cross-ex-
animation to which he was subjected
by Senator Crothers. He gave a little
too accurate a description Of the man
who Is supposed to have shot Mr.. Con-
stable and who, according 10 Hollands
statement. notified him that there was
a man In the road who needed help.
The inquest. which was conducted by
Coroner J. d. Iglehart. was not success
ful In throwing nay additional llgh
upon the tragedy and no new facts werl
developed that viii afford "a clue TO tn
murderer. After summing It all up. MI
lConstable's statements made before h
died were to the fleet that he was un
, able TO tell whether the man that sho
, him was white or colored. He declare
J that he did not recognoze him.
Believed He Was Shot in Head.
one Of the peculiar things brough
out at the inquest was that Mr.. Con
stable told those who talked with hin
before he died that he had been sho
In the head. whereas the only bulle
wound was squarely in the middle o
the back and must have been firet
{ from behind. The cuts and bruises OF
the face DR.. Kierle declared. were no
important and could not have produce,
death. Moreover. they had none of tn
e. appearances OF a bullet wound an,
might. have been made by man fall
ing on his face.
i Sensational Developments.
4 Sensational developments IN the cas-
may shortly be expected. The Pinker
ton and Baltimore detectives working
on the case have begun drawing I'm tn
net, and behind the killing of Mr. Con
stable will, il is said. be revealed
b story Of political revenge that will i'm
plicate one and possibly several OF tn
best known white citizens OF Cecl
!, county. Whether mixed up with thi
!, hatred is a private scandal, the officer
refuse to open their lips.
