City ASSESSOR.

There is an office to be filled by the
electors of this city within the next
few weeks that is of the most vital
importance-that of City Assessor.
The man who fills that Office should
be competent and trustworthy, one
whose character would preclude
the possibility Of questioning his
motives in listing the amounts as.
sessed against each piece of prop
erty.
There has been entirely too much
jugglery of figures in the past, and
the dissatisfaction that has arisen
annually on account of the assess
ments has reached dangerously
near to the point of litigation.
A patriotic desire for the best in
terests of the city, has in many
cases, prevented a positive refusal
to abide the assessments.
There is no possibility of arriv.
ing at the values of various pieces
of property with any thing like
mathematical precision, therefore
the next best thing is an honest
adjustment, assisted by good judg
ment and a knowledge of values.
We nominate for the Office Mr..
DeLamar Turner. Wedo not know
whether he would accept the place
or not, but mention him as an ideal
man for the position. He is a
splendid accountant and is well
posted on values, and his probity
would do much to satisfy the tax
payers of the city who have found
objections to assessments in the
past.
If Mr.. Turner cannot be induced
to take the Office some man of his
rating and a good accountant should
be elected.

country by exterminating these Jewish
vermin who infest our fatherland and
crush out the life blood OF our glorious
nation"
The Jews Of Kishinef and nearby sec

Their example will be followed by other
Jews in all parts OF Russia and should
the imperial government not intervene a

est point among the Republicans.

teresting contests for county and legisla-
tive nominations at the Republican pri-
maries in New Castle county.

after the three days of registration
throughout New Castle county, and will
give an opportunity TO get out a big vote
at the election for delegates to the State

the various candidates will do their best
to get their friends TO register in order
to vote at the primaries
The State Convention is to be held in

WOMAN HAD GUN
THAT KILLED GIRL
Inquest Shows That Mabel
Spence Was Fatally Wounded
in Accidental Manner

Coroner Galloway held an inquest at
Newark yesterday afternoon, in the case
Of Mabel Spence. the nine-year-old
daughter of Harvey Spence, of Roseville,
who was shot and killed on Tuesday As
result of the Investigation the coroner
learned that the child's death did not re-
suit from causes as first published-that
the gun with which she had been shot,
fell from wall and was discharged
but that Mrs. Mabel Leak, who lives In
the house adjoining that Of the Spences,
had shot the child. The affair, however,
was purely an accident and the jury eN-
onerated the woman from all blame.
According TO the evidence in tha case
the Spence child and several other chill
dren were playing in the yard Of Mrs.
Leaks house when two boys came run
ming into the house and told Mrs. Leak
they had overheard two colored men in
the road a short distance away, planning
to rob a farmer named Vout. The boys
said the men had revolver and a knife.
Stepping to the door Mrs. Leak saw the
colored men and they espied her at the
same time. They started to walk toward
the house and fearing that they meant
harm TO her, Mrs. Leak went into the
house and procured a shot gun. She came
to the door TO scare Off the colored men
and in doing SO, the trigger OF the gun
either caught in her dress or in the
door frame, and the gun went or The
charge Of shot struck little Mabel Spence
in the abdomen, making a gaping wound.
Mrs. Spence ran into the yard from next
door and grasped the child in her arms,
but the little one died within a few min
