MANY MINISTERS
WERE OPPOSED
To Transfer of Rev. II. s.
Dulany to Asbury M. Z.
Church
DREW FROM THEIR CONGREGATIONS

It has leaked out that the true
reason why the Rev. H. S. Dulany
WAS not transferred 10 Asbury Church
by the NJ. e. Conference. and allowed
TO take up again the work he had
begun there. is that such transfer was
opposed by bhe Methodist clergy Of
Wilmington.
The opposition to Mr.. Dulany was
not based ON the fact that he was un-
fitted for the charge but on the con-
trary. that he was too popular among
the Methodists of Wilmington. on this
account il is claimed that he drew
largely from other Methodist churches
in the city, much to their detrtment.
WELL KNOWN FACT
1t appeared to be q we'll known fact
among certain clergy that Mr.. Dulany
would not be sent to Asbury, and the
matter was discussed on several occas-
sions by those in a position to know.
Hes too popular" seemed TO be the
general comment, and whether this be
true or not Mr.. Dulany still remains
i'm Lawsonia- A delegation of that
church was in this city several days
and stated THAT although IL would not
oppose Mr.. Dulany's transfer 10
Aslbury as much IS his departure
would he regretted. that his removal to
another church would be strenuously
objected to.

tinue as a supply. Mr.. Westerheld Is

SINGLE TAKERS
HAVE COMPLAINT.
Claim That Assessment on
Colony at Grubb's Land
ing Is Too High
ASKS FOR REDUCTION OF SGO,9l'

Haines Davis Albright, attorney, Of
Philadelphia. appeared before the Levy
Court this morning and asked for the
.eturn Of $6O94 alleged to have been
paid for an excessive assessment upon
the Single Tax colony near Grubb's
Corner He stated that the property
VISA first assessed for $4,000, which
valuation was Appealed from by George
F. Stevens. of Philadelphia, the famous
siugle taxer, who is the owner Of the
property.
Mr., Albright explained that the as
sessment was later reduced to $500
and that Mr.. Stevens received a letter
from the Levy Court to the effect that
a rebate could not be allowed. County
Comptroller Philemma Chandler, for
merly president of the court, was in
the room and stated that he did not
think the court owed Stevens any
money He intimated that the Single
Taxer attempted to intimidate the
court. President Hopkins corroborated
what Mr.. Chandler said and added that
Mr.. Stevens had abused former Levy
Court Commissioner Isaac c. Elliott
and Assessor Newton L. Grubb. He
advised Mr. Albright to confer with
Messrs. Elliott and Grubb before the
matter goes any further.
The Single Takers colony is known
as Arden and is said to. be a synonym
for the Garden OF Eden. This onlony
was organized at Grubb's Landing some
years ago. The condition Of the col
ony. 1t is said, is not what it was two
o. three years ago.

COLONEL DUPONT'S VOTE
WAS LARGELY INCREASED
SIX OF THE UNION REPUBLICAN, DISSENTERS
JOINED WITH THE REGULARS IN HIS
SUPPORT-THIS WAS ONLY
CHANGE
7. C. DUPONT SEES NO SOLUTION

When II became known today that six
of the seven Union Republican dlssenters
would join with the Regulars. much in
terest was manifested about the State
House which was filled with prominent
Addicks and Anti-Addicks Republican,
leaders.
When the ballot was begun, intense sill
ence reigned. Senator A. b.. Lingo led on
with a vote for Colonel Dupont and was
followed by Senator Pennewiil The other
Anti-Addicks Republicans then followed
suit with the exception ol Representative
Lingo.
MOTION WAS NOT PROPHETIC
In making the usual motion trat a bal
lot for Senator be taken, Senator Mon
Afghan. D.. Of Wilmington, made an anus
ing error which was applauded by the
members and the crowded assemhlage.
Had it been prophetic. the election OF a
Senator would have resulted for he
moved that I'VE now proceed to the cleo
tion of a United States Senator" He
changed his motion to ballot for a
senator" but the crowd applauded him
freely
Conferences were the order OF the day.
DuL ike the meeting at the Hotel lklcn-
ardson, which did not end until one
o'clock this morning. they we're futile.
Nothing was heard today OF the plan
to have Colonel DUPONT elected as Sena-
tor Allee's successor to the two-year
term and then elect Alice as the success
sor to ex-senator Ball for the full term
OF six years. It is not believed that any
thing will come Of tire project.
OPPOSITION TO RATLEDGE.
1t was stated this morning in the SEN
ate. after the reappointment OF James p
Ratiedge as a State detective had been
ANNOUNCED. that his confirmation would
be vigorously opposed. II is said that

Special TO The Evening journal.
Dover. March 2i.-Although reports OF
a varied nature are in circulation that
the Senatorial deadlock may be broken.
the single ballot taken by the Legisla-
ture in joint session today showed TO the
contrary. The only change was the ac-
ton Of six Of the seven Union Republic
can dissenters in joining with the nine
Regulars and voting for Colonel Henry A.
DUPONT
This made his vote fifteen. the same
number received by Mr. Addicks. The
only Union Republican dissenter who did
not join in the movement was Represen-
tative r. d. Lingo, Jr., who supported
T. Coleman DUPONT.
General T. Coleman DUPONT. who is a
cousin of Colonel Dupont witnessed the
ballot from a seat in the lobby. When
asked, after the vote had been taken
whether he saw a settlement In sight.
wltr only two more days Of the session
remaining, he replied: There may be a
solution, but I cannot see it now"
Ex-senator Ball remarked that the if-
teen votes secured by Colonel DUPONT
received the same number ten years ago.
This, however, was decided not to be a
majority by the United States Senate. ow-
ing to Acting Governor Watson. Dem,
having cast vote as State Senator.
ALL THE LEGISLATORS VOTED
The vote today was:
Henry A. DUPONT. r. r., IS.

tive r. d. Lingo will not vote for Colone
DUPONT. When he was asked about thi,
after the ballot had been taken he said
} My vote today shows where / stand
win you support Colonel Dupont be
. fore the close Of the session."
His only reply was a shaking OF tn
bead which was construed as being II

MEDICAL BILL MAY Be LOST
After Senate Had Adopted an Amend
ment It Was Recommittsd.

Dover, March 21.-The bill regulat-
ing the practice Of medicine and sur
gerry, which has caused much conten-
ton. was brought up in the Senate yes
terday afternoon, and reconimitted. 1t
is evident that the physicians will lose
most OF that for which they have been
contending, the right TO use the title
"doctt'"
The Senate adopted an amendment
admitting to practice and the right to
use the title doctor" graduates Of any
chartered apathalmic college at the
TINA OF the enactment of the bill. Be-
fore the amendment bill could be put
on its final passage. Senators Sparks
and T. c. Moore. who opposed II, had
II recommitted.
II the amendment is adopted, II will
permit DIR. r.. S. stephens and gradu-
ates of his Delaware Ophthalmic Col
lege in Dover. Nto use the title Doc
tor" to which the physicians are op-
posed. The Senate amendment would
have to be returned to the House,
which would endanger the loss OF the
bill during the closing hours. Sena-
tors Sparks and Moore will try to
eliminate the Senate amendment in
lorder to enact the measure.

BRIDGE CARRIED AWAY
"PENNSY" TO REBUILD
Ice Gorges Broke in Cones
tosa Greek Causing
Great Damage

Warm weather accompanied by
iieavy iains have caused the ice gorges
in Conestoga Creek to break up and
IS a result the ice started to move
down stream yesterday, carrying away
TIE ,restle railroad bridge at Safe Har-
Dor.
he trains Of the Columbia and Port
Deposit. branch OF the p, 3. & w.
railroad ran over the structure between
Columbia and Perryville. This break
will uecessitate change in the route
of freight trains until the bridge is re-
bulk.
WILL REPAIR BRIDGE.
Immediately the Pennsylvania rail-
road received word that its bridge had
been washed away plans were started
for the erection Of a new bridge which
will entail the reconstruction of the
line at that point, for it is proposed to
raise the tracks there five or six feet
above the present level.
IL is estimated that this work will
cost $4,000. and it will be started as
soon as work on the parallel low grade
there is completed. The old bridge was
washed away by ice carried down on
the food and the water is now about
five feet over the tracks When the
new bridge is in place and new tracks
laid they will be built above high water
mark 50 as to aboid any possibility of
flooding I'm the future.
From Cresswell to McCalls the ice
and water now lie over the tracks and
the railroad has been temporarily
obliged to abandon the line until the
water subsidies and the new work can
be undertaken. In the meantime the
engineers are rushing the work on the
low grade line.
