NEGRO ATTACKS TWO WOMEN
Attempted to Assault One, But Was
frightened Away.

Wilmington, Del, Sept. 1O-As Mrs.
Beatrice Frankish and her daughter,
Miss Gussie Leitch, were driving from
Hockessin to Brandywine Springs Park,
a negro jumped from behind a tree in
the road and threw a stone which
struck Miss Leitch in the head, render
ing her unconscious. The negro then
dragged Mrs. Frankish from the car
risge and attempted to assault her
She fought him, and he struck her in
the head with stone. The negro was
frightened away before he committed
the assault Farmers and detectives
are now searching for the negro. The
condition of both women is serious,
and the doctors say they cannot tell
as yet whether their skulls have been
fractured. The outrage occurred not
very far from where the negro White
was burned at the stake two years ago.

ADDICKS DEFEATED
IN DELAWARE
Republican State Committee Con-
trOlled by Dupont.
UNIONISTS LOSE THEIR EMBLEM

Dover, Del, Sept. 6.-The joint Re
publican state convention renominated
Hiram R. Burton, of Lewes, for con-
gress, and Thomas N. Rawlins, of Sea-
ford, for state treasurer, and nominated
Thomas C. Roe. of Dover, for auditor
of accounts. Mr.. Roe succeeds George
H. Dick of Smyrna, who failed of re-
nomination.
A new and single Republican state
committee, which will replace the On
ion and Regular Republican commit
tees, was chosen, as follows: Chair
man, T. Coleman Dupont; Whining
ton, Mayor Horace Wilson, William H.
Heald, Thomas S. Lewis; Rural New
Castle county, E. B. Shurter, Frederick
w. Curtis, Daniel w. Corbit; Kent
county Senator ]. Frank Alice, State
Senator Thomas c. Moore, A. Donnell
Marshall; Sussex county, Secretary of
State Joseph L. Cahall, James H.
Wright, Thomas Curry; member-at-
large, Charles H. Colbourn (colored),
Wilmington. The committee is a Du-
pont body.
An unexpected and somewhat sensa-
tional development occurred just be-
fore adjournment. The convention by
a vote of IA to 33 decided to do away
with the Union Republican emblem of
a five-pointed star on the ballot. The
resolution to this effect was intro
duced by DR.. Caleb R. Layton, of
Georgetown, who is auditor of the
state department at Washington, and
lively tilt resulted between Addicks
and himself. Addicks appealed to his
friends to stand by him and retain the
star and thus maintain the Union or
ganization. After being defeated Ad-
dicks declared that he would take the
matter to court in Wilmington in an
effort to keep the emblem.
AS the purpose of the convention was
to effect harmony, it is believed that
it will fail Addicks said that harmony
cannot be effected unless he and his
1000 or 5000 followers in New Castle
county are recognized by allowing the
star to remain as their party emblem.
The platform reaffirms the principles
of the national Republican party; in
dorses the administration of President
Roosevelt; recommends a revision OF
tariff duties in the near future as bene-
fetal to the mass of the people, and
favors a reduction. of duties on imports
from the Philippines; commends the
administrations rigid enforcement OF
the antitrust laws, and opposes the
illegal use of money at elections.

Hanued Al West Chester,

West Chester, Pa, Sept 7.-Protest-

doned blacksmith shop at Howellville
and was there assaulted. Afterward
she was literally hacked to pieces. The
child was followed to the shop by her
brother. Dominic, aged years, and he,
too, met death, being beaten with a

tracks and its 300 men, machine guns,
horses and equipment captured. AS

western railroads first telegraphic ad-
vices from Paso Real, they were be-
lieved to be true until authentic re-
ports of actual occurrences were wired
by those who had returned to Paso
Real from the scene.

to two and a third miles east of Con-
solacion del Sur, at which point the
rails had been removed, and replaced

off by two machine guns handled by
the American, Captain Webster.

say that 200 insurgents were killed in
the encounter near Consolation del

cred to be authentic.

place at Guanajay, in anita Clara prov
ince There were fierce machete
charges and the rebels retired. Several
of them were wounded and five were
captured.
