DUPONT IS NEW SENATOR.
Addicks Forces in Delaware Routed and
Long Deadlock for Federal Office
Is at End.

DOVER. Del. June 12.-Col. III. A..
Dupont was elected United States SEN
ator by the Delaware Legislature, which
met in joint session today. BY vote
of 20 to 10 the caucus of Republican
members of the Delaware state Legisla-
ture late last night chose Col. Dupont
for senator, defeating Edward A. Ad-
dicks, who for the last dozen years has
been struggling vainly to attain the Gov
eted honor.
Eleven years ago, when Addicks flung
his banner to the breeze in Delaware
politics he was n man in the prime of
life, a millionaire. a man of wonderful
ambition and an indomitabe fighter.
The end of the struggle finds him pre-
maturely aged, broken in health and for
tune. a decrepit and pathetic figure IA
CHASTITY wreck of a mighty ambition.
State Senator Thomas jefferson, Dem
ocrat died suddenly today.
Col. Dupont is 6S years of age, and is
n native of Delaware. He is the head
of the great powder works bearing his
name and is very wealthy. He served
throughout the War of the Rebellion and
was awarded congressional medal of
honor for most distinguished gallantry
in action.
