crime there is no doubt.

ever, stunned him so that he fell back

both he and the burglar fell to the
floor The latter was on top and
tightly clutched his victim by the
throat.
Burglars Fierce Resolve.
Downward. who is well-bullt
young man, managed to reach
kneeling position when the robber vi
ciously kicked him in the side. and
with a groan Downward again fell
back. Again he felt the burglars fn-
gers tighten about his throat. and he
heard his assailant fercely whisper In
his ear; Keep quiet d. you; / ann
going to choke the life out OF you"
Semi-oonscious, Downard after a few
moments felt himself relieved OF the
weight OF the burglars body. and .e
staggered TO his feet In a vain effort
to stop the fleeing man. He fell. how
ever. before taking three steps. and his
head struck the edge OF a door frame
with such force as to render him un-
, conscious.

DOVER, Sept. 6-Harmony is con-
summated.
The two warning Republican parties
Of Delaware have passed out of exis-
tence, and one Republican party was
yesterday organized with thirteen
prominent Republicans as its State
central committee and T. Coleman
dupont of Wilmington, as its State
chairman. John Edward Addicks. the
founder of the Union Republican
party, participated in the convention
and apparently accepted its edicts.
Hiram r. Burton, of Lewes, was re-
nominated for Congress; Thomas n.
Rawlins Of Seaford, was renominated
for State treasurer. and Thomas c.
Roe. of Dover, new man and close
friend and neighbor of Senator Alice
was nominated for State auditor.
All leaders and factions, particularly
in Sussex county, had to give and take
TO consummate a complete harmony
Addicks failed completely in his at
tempt to defeat Senator Alice for state
committeeman and Congressman Bur-
ton for denomination. but the gasman
was pacifed by the election to the
State committee of two friends
James H. Wright and Thomas Curry
of Sussex county. and while DR.
Thomas c. Moore, of Smyrna, voted
with Senator Alice and against Ad-
dicks yesterday. the Claymont leader
stin declares that he trusts Moore
implicitly.
Senator Alice presided at the or
ganization meeting Of the State GEN.
tral committee last night in the new
Opera House. When the committed
was called It was noticed that ]. Ed
ward Addicks appeared and sat withir
the circle. Addicks noticed some curl.
Gus looks cast in his direction, and
said;
Mr.. Chairman. the rules of the Ma
tional Republican Party permit me t
sit in this committee. by virtue of be
ing Republican national committee
man from Delaware. Am right?'
The committee voted TO postpon
the consideration OF Addicks' question
until Chairman dupont, who was no
present at the organization. called tn
first meeting.
In the committee or resolution
there was a decided breeze over loca
option. Joseph c. Parker. of Middle
town, was instrumental in having {
local option plank inserted in the plat
form.
The record OF Congressman Hiram
r. Burton was fttingly recognized b.
the convention in his selection for
second term. He was the unanimou
choice of the Sussex county caucus
and his selection was acquiesced in b'
Kent and New Castle county eau
cusses.
Dr. Burton's name was presented t
the convention by Edward Brown o
Sussex county who dwelt upon tn
able work of the candidate in tn
Fifty-hfth Congress and the record h
had made for faithful devotion to tn
interests of the people Of Delaware
His nomination was seconded by Hor
