NEW EMBLEM

DOVER, July 17th.-It is rumored- here
that the resolution adopted by the Union
Republican State Committe, which formed
small part Of the harmony overtures.ol ol
the Regulars, viii now be brought forth
from the minute book OF Secretary Satter.
field, and be used as sort of gentle
reminder to the three Republican clerks
5of the peace Of the State, that all Repub,
licans have thus agreed to consolidate at
the polls, to use their efforts to accomplish
harmony, and to bury all past differences
and that this Union Republican State
sCominittee thereby forstaIls anybody,
individual or body OF men from any use
of the word ..Union Republican, or
even OF the word Republican.
AS for the convention itself, it is ex-
pected to be q genuine harmony conven-
ton, much to the disappointment Of some
irreconciIable minority members, and
there is belief here that the design of
the reorganized Republican party will be
the composite figure Of both party em-
=blems, such as that of large American
eagle with the fve-pointed star stamped
in bold relief uponits breast.
Thus the separate ticket organizers will
be forced to do without the words Union
Republican or Republican, and without
the pointed star, and will have to get
100 names to sign a petition To be put on
the ballot uneer some other name

BIG FREIGHT TRADE

Evidence OF the enormous freight bus
iness being done BY the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company may be CLEANED from
the fact that Tuesday twenty-six freight
trains bounds for the New York division
passed through this city. Each train
consisted oi thirty cars all heavily laden.
Tie cargaes were for the most part per.
isliable fruit from the Delaware division
as far south as Cape Charles, Va, while
several of the trains were from points
further south,
The trains are all through ones, going
directly to Jersey CITY Never in the
history oflocal raiiaoading has the freight
business been 50 heavy, and despite the
efforts Of iile company to increase its
facilities in this city to handle the busi-
ness they have failed as yet to cape with
it. The auxiliary yard which. tire con-
pany contemplates erecting at Landlith
will serve in a measure to relieve the
congestion, but not until the freight yards
now in course Of construction at Edge
Moor-to contain % trscks-are con-
pleted will The problem be solved.
There are few cities in the country
even Of much larger dimension that can
boast Of the freight business handled in
this city. There are some who predict
that even Jersey City viii have to look
to its lanrels before many years. 49, Morn

to reprint that report verbatim, as great
service to people who wish to trace their
ancestry back to the republic.
The common idea thai the tendency of
population is towards the cities of the
farms is not borne out by the census re-
port. They show that 1850 and 1900 the
number of farms in the country increased
from less than SOC, 900 to nearly 6,OOO,-
600. That this is not wholly due to
larger population is shown by the fact
that while in 1850 there was one to every
is persons in 1900 there was one to every
1873 persons, the farms growing in num-
bers faster than the population. There
is shown in this fact one reason why farm
labor is so inadequate to the demand
just now.

new MOTIVE IN
THAW'S CASE
CONTINUED from Second Page)

White has not surprised his former
friends They realized that it would
be useless to attempt to stop the flood
Of unjust denunciation that followed
the killing; that it was best to permit
to fall of its own weight.
where a defense, no matter how
treu and eloquent. would have been
quite lost. the manner in which Mr..
Whites name was assailed with an alb
solute disregard for the truth. made
it sure that there would be a revulsion
IN public sentiment. I think this has
come.
MI. White was no saint. No one
will attempt to paint him in that garb.
But hewas by no means the manner Of
man certain. newspapers have tried TO
make him out to have been. If the
facts ever come TO light it will be found
With what an open hand Mr.. White
dispensed his charities.
He recognized no distinctions in his
givings-he gave freely and to good
purpose. He was. indeed. a worship
per of Beauty but that he ever COM
mitted the excesses at her shrine with
which he has been accused is wholly
false. The truth will come out ana
when it does it will found that the
orgies accredited to Mr.. White and
his friends were mild indeed compared
to the pictures painted by fancy. He
was no saint, I repeat, but he was far,
indeed, from being such a monster as
he has been painted"
II Thaw is called to answer before a
judge and jury for the Staying Of STAN
ford White before the first week of
next December. he may thank his stars
that his time of suspense has been so
brief. For under existing conditions 1t
may be he will not know his fate before
Christmas has come and gone.
This is based. of course, on the as
sumption that his lawers. who so far
have given little hint of that purpose.
viii decide to have twelve men saw
what shall be his doom. The counsel
might, Of course, ask for the oppoint-
ment of a commission to say whether
the young man ise sane now. But 10
those who know Thaw, this, It is be-
heved, would not answer his purpose
Declared sane he would be forced to
go to jail; pronounced insane, he would
be sent to the State Asylum for the
Criminal Insane, in Matteawan. to re-
main there until, should the physicians
asert he had recovered he would be
brought back here and placed on trial.
Principal OF the reason why Thaw
probably must wait until December for
his trial is the fact that Of the accused
murderers In the Topbs the slayer or
Stanford White is twentieth i'm the
list, and that the other nineteen ahead
of him are entitled to be tried before
Thaw's case is called.
