NAMED BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO
SUCCEED R. G. HOUSTON, TERM EXPIRED
Supported For the Place by Senator J. Frank
Alice and Will Enter Upon His Duties
Shortly-Salary will be $1,000 Year.

President Roosevelt yesterday ap-
pointed David S. Clark, of Kenton, to
he Collector of Customs for the Dis
trict of Delaware, to succeed Robert
G. Houston, of Georgetown, who has
held the position for four years. The
new collector is a prominent citizen of
Kenton and is being congratulated
on his success. He is member
of the Union Republican state COM
mittee and has always taken an ac-
tive part in Kent county politics. He
was a member of the state Legislature
few years ago and was also a mem
ber of the convention which framed
the present constitution OF the state.
He is also prominent in the affairs of
the Methodist Episcopal Church and
is local preacher of that denomina-
tlon. He is considered to be we'll
qualified for the position. Thsre are
several employees of the two offices in
the district all of whom are under
stood to be under civil service rules.
The position of collector pays about
$4,000 a year. Mr.. Houston was also
the custodian of the federal building
IN Wilmington, and by virtue of that
position had charge of the janitor force
OF the building. 1t is expected that
his successor will be named for the
same place. There is no salary or pay
for the position of custodian. Mr..
Clark's appointment was confirmed in
the Senate yesterday on motion OF
Senator Alice.

CONGRESS MAY FIXSTATUS
SIXTH DELAWARE REGIMENT
CONGRESSMAN BURTON INTRODUCES BILL
WHICH MAY ArrRC1 SMYRNAITES.
Smyrna Contains Number of the Old Sixth
Delaware Soldiers Who Served In Civil
War-WhaI the Bill Provides.

A bill was introduced in Congress
Friday by Congressman Hiram r.
Burton of Delaware, to fix the status
OF the Fifth and Sixth Delaware Regi-
ments, serving during the Civil War.
with respect to the matter of pensions.
Quite a number of the Sixth Delaware
resided in Smyrna, but have never
been able to present their claim at the
Pension Department, and some are
awaiting the action of Congress with
considerable interest. After being read
the bill was referred to the committee
on military affairs, which will look
into the matter and report its finding
to Congress before any further action
is taken. For some reason the mem
bers OF these two regiments have been
barred from pensions, on the ground.
1t is said, that they were not in service
for the required period of nine months
although survivors who have been
spoken to on the subject recently, as
sert that they were in service for a
longer period and they express the be-
lief that they are entitled to the same
consideration as is shown the surviy-
ors of other regiments. The regiments
were in the State much of the time af-
ter their organization, but it is claimed
that they were regularly in the service
maintained their organizations and
were subject to call at any time during
the period of enlistment of the mem
bers. Detachments of the regiments
were sent out of the state and some OF
the members were on duty in the vi.

they guarded the bridges, and rem
dered valuable service to the govern.

to have the regiments recognized as
regards the matter of pensions has
been under consideration for some
time.

ALLEY MILLS MURDER CASE
cOR0NER'S JURY COULD NOT RINn Rv,
DENcE ENOUGH TO HOLD HIM GUILTY
Inquest Held at the Undertaking Establishment
OiW.A.Farles Son Wednesday Evening,
Tribbitt Confessed 10 the Shooting.

A large crowd congregated at the un-
dertaking establishment of W. A. Far
les d Son last Wednesday evening
when Deputy Coroner FAIRIES held an
inquest in the case of George Black
iston, colored, who died at the Will
mington Hospital recently as the re-
suit of rife wound inflicted in a ten
ement house, on the farm of John w.
Houston near Alley Mills, Tuesday.
November 21st. Owing to a eonten-
tion over the jurisdiction of the case
between the New Castle County coro-
ner and the Kent County coroner and
the delay of Attorney General Rich
ards in giving his opinion, the inquest
was not held until week after Black
iston was dead and buried. The sus-
picion of foul play was thoroughly dis
cussed but at the inquest Wednesday
evening at which U. G.. Click was fore
man and George W. Cunning was Sec
retary, it developed that the shooting
affair was purely accidental and Hor-
ace Tribbitt, colored, who confessed
to the shooting, was exonerated and
discharged. Tribbitt's own confession
was that he and Blackiston had started
out hunting in direction of Clayton,
when they decided they would go back
to the home of Martha Gibbs. There
they were playing with the rifle.
BlackIston sat down in the chair and
he, (Tribbitt) had the rifle in his hands
pointing it at him. Not knowing the
trigger was cooked the rifle suddenly
went off the bullet entering Blackis-
tons forehead. DIR. Cobb was sum-
moned and the wounded man was has
tened to the Wilmington Hospital,
where he died several days later.
When the accident occurred Tribbitt,
frightened nearly to death, went to
Martha Gibbs and Hester Blackiston,
who were in the house, and after tell
ing them what he had done, asked
them to shoot him which they refused.
Tribbitt then went toward the mill
pond, ostensibly to drown himself, but
changed his mind and hastened to the
home of William Seuse, five miles dis
tant, and stayed there until he gave
himself up. This testimony was cor
roborated by that of Martha Gibbs,
and Hester Blackiston, who was in the
house at the time. As the testimony
brought out no bad feeling between
Blackiston aud Tribbitt and no mo-
tive for the deed, the jury rendered a
verdict of accidental shooting and ex-
onerated Tribbitt from any blame in
the matter.
