CHANGERS TALK
ON SOCIALISM
Diamond State GrangerS
Favor One Tenet Of
the Belief

Socialism" was the annual subject Of
a discussion at the weekly meeting Of
Diamond State Grange. Patrons Of Hus-
bandry. at Stanton last night. The meet
ing was largely attended and farmers for
the first time were given an opportunity
to express their views on a subject that,
while somewhat foreign to grange discus
sion, is interesting especially at this time
Of socialistic and anarchistic agitation
The speakers were William H. Mccoy,
Of near New Castle; Francis II. Hoffecker,
Of this city. and Mrs. Martha Cranston.
of Newport. Socialism was generally
opposed by the members of the grange
for its Community of interests" No rea-
son was seen for the participation OF the
lazy and incompetent in the benefits OF
the competent and the industrious. $50
cialism is opposed to the institutions Of
this country, a speaker said. One social
istc tenet however, met with general
favor-that owmen capable Of doing men $
work should receive mems nay.
The discussion occupied the entire meet
ing and was not ended when the time
came to adjourn. 1t is probable that the
subject will be taken up at a future meet
ing Of the grange.
Next week the meeting Of the grange
will be in charge Of the men and the wo-
men viii be guests
On the following week the grange will be
ofdcered entirely by women an innova-

MUST KEEP THE
SIDEWALK CLEAR

Under the verbal agreement that he
would leave six feet OF sidewalk, the
Street and Sewer Directors this morn
ing waived the provisions of a regula-
tion requiring that full sidewalk space
should be preserved, and gave permis-
sion to William d. Haddock. the con-
tractor. TO erect a fence around the
building at Sixth and Market streets,
which is being demolished TO make
room for an addition to the Security
Trust Company's property.
Notification Of a resolution to modify
the regulation enforcing the preserving
of fun sidewalk space was then given
by Director Sparks. Much Of the dis
cussion attending Mr.. Haddock's re-
quest was taken up In trying TO find
a loophole in the regulation whereby
the directors could savor the con-
tractors request. Mr.. Haddock TO
erect an overhead partition around the
building when the walls are put up ~
feet.
Mr.. Haddock's appearance was pre-
ceded by a protest from J. Edward
Reynolds, a tailor. and B. F. Rawnsley,
both of Sixth and Shipley streets. as
a committee from shopkeepers in the
vicinity. who asserted that the con-
tractor had closed the sidewalk on
Sixth street neaf Market, and was in
juring their business. This complaint
actuated the directors in waving the
departments regulation and its deci-
sion to modify II so that hereafter con-
tractors may fence in the operations to
an extent for the protection Of the
public and for their own convenience.

Sergeant Lacey went to the home Of the
boys father. who is employed as a car
penter at the fort and also TO summon a
physician while Sergeant Blackburn and
his companions returned to the fort An
armed guard was organized and search
made for the assassin but without sue

instruction from Coroner Galloway whe

drawbridge spanning the Delaware and

he was a favorite. The soldiers were

When asked II any arrest had been made
within the reservation OF the fort to-day
the officer said no and added that 1t was
thought within the fort that the guilty
person was not a soldier. A thorough in

an arrest may shortly be made.

Mr.. CROCK AGAIN
GIVEN SET-BACK X

The Street and Sewer Directors, de-
clining to act on his assertion that the
company had repaired the paving
around its tracks throughout the city,
a further request by General Manager
Richard Crook, of the Peoples Railway
that the directors grant him permis-
sion to extend the company's tracks
from Seventh and Church street to
Fourth and Church streets to accom-
modate steamgoat passenger traffic
was refused, and Mr.. Crook will &c
told to continue the repairs until COM
pleted when his request may be favor
ed. The fact that men are still work
ing on the repairs demanded by the
directors actuated the refusal The
directors are determined to ge sure
that all the repairs are made before
permitting Mr.. Crook TO make the ex-
tension. In all probability the direc-
tors will favor Mr.. Crook as soon as
they are assured that the Peoples
Railway has fulfilled its obligations to

Coroner Galloway and the authori les at
Delaware City are mystifed over the
strange shooting last night Of thirteen
Rear-old John Cook, Jr., OF Delaware City
in the little confectionery and tobacco
store conducted by Sergeant Edward
Lacey Just outside the Fort DUPONT reser-
walton. The lad was instantly killed by
a bullet fired from revolver of 3S cali
bre, the same as is used by the soldiers at
the fort. The shot was fired through a
window and was evidently not meant for
the boy but for somebody else in the
store at the time The bullet severed the
boys jugular veing and he died before a
physician reached his side.
Coroner Galloway spent all Of to-day at
Delaware City making an investigation Of
the case and arranging for the inquest
which he viii hold within the next few
days. It was rumored that an arrest was
made within the reservation Of the fort
but that was denied by an officer at head
quarters.
Bullet Intended For Another.
The authorities are firmly convinced
that the assassin intended the bullet for
o soldier, probably Sergeant John w.
blackburn, who was in the store at the
time with tw other soldiers. It is said
that he held the enmity Of some Of the
: soldiers at fort and for this reason he
is believed /have been the intended vic
tim.
Young Cook. who was favorite with
the soldiers at the fort, went to Sergeant
Macey's store early in the evening, and
fbeing a baseball enthusiast and MEM
jber of a club which was to hold meet
4 ing last night, he began to talk baseball.
2 He had seated himself on a box beside
Sergeant Blackburn and near the window
through which the assassin fired the fatal
bullet. The shooting occurred about 7.S0
o'clock and Cooks boyish talk was sud
denly cut short by a loud report He fell
forward on the floor before the men IN
the store realized what was the matter
and blood gushed from a gaping wound in
his throat.
The soldiers with faces white as death
sprang to their feet and one Of them ex-
claimed:
