MILFORD Del. April Attaching
Jester A. Gray. OF Milton. during a fit OF
jealousy over a girl Walter J. Gillespie,
OF this town. was killed late last night on
a South Milford street by Gray. who in
defending himself thrust a knife blade into
Gillcspie's heart
Both young men had just passed the age
OF 20 years and the tragic death OF Gil
lespie and the circumstances surrounding
Il have stirred the town although the
general impression is that Gray will be
given his freedom after the inquest Cor
oner Griffith Is too hold this evening or
tomorrow morning. Gillespie. who lived
but a minute or two after the steel blade
had puncturod his heart. is a son OF Mrs.
Bessie Gillespie. OF Milford. and of the

known throughout the county.
Gray was placed in the custody OF Con-
stable Marvel by Magistrate Fisher until
after the inquest. He Is a fine-iooklng and
well-dressed young fellow OF excellent
character and son OF Frank n. Gray, a
well-known stock dealer In Milton.
Gray had left the home OF Miss Frances
Bennett. a girl OF II years. and daughter
OF J. II. Bennett. a few minutes before the
tragedy. II appears that Gillespie had beer
attentive to the girl. who is OF one OF the
best families hereabout and that Gray also
had begun to call on her recently This
was not pleasing TO Gillespie even though
he and Gray had been friendly.
Party Goes TO Meet Gray.

afternoon with W. W. Conwell. a promin,
ent business man OF that town. and las

GEORGETOWN, Del, April 7.-One OF
the most remarkable gatherings of Sus-
sex county Republicans in "off-years' Was
that yesterday in this town, when the
Georgetown Republican Club gave a re-
ception at which the guest Of honor was
United States Senator Henry A. DUPONT.
Prominent Republicans fiocked TO George
town not only from all parts of the coun-
ty. but from throughout the State. and it
really marked the opening of the most
aggressive Republican campaign Sussex
county ever has seen.
Looking a year and half hence the Sus-
sex county Republicans began yesterday
TO perfect their organization to try TO cap
ture every legislative district in Sussex
county at the election in November 1910,
and thus aid in securing a Legislature that
is Republican on joint ballot, for the next
Legislature is to elect a successor to Sem
ltor DUPONT.
The general impression here yesterday
among the Republican workers who gath
cred here is that Senator DUPONT will be
reelected to the Senate. There have been
intimations from Democratic sources that
Dr. Caleb r. Layton might leap into the
fray to try to capture the Senatorial toga
Two years hence. but DR.. Layton yester-
day was at the fore in the harmony meet
ing and reception TO Senator dupont and
he had no hesitancy in declaring that he
stood for one harmonious organization and
the best organization that Sussex county
ever had should be perfected. Some Of the
knowing ones say DR.. Layton will have
big hand in moulding the Sussex county
organization, and that he will not antag-
on!ze Senator DUPONT for reelection be-
yond placing himself in the field as

Funds Are Not
Available to Complete
Sewer System--.Other
Matters Before Council

The city council met last evening
and the first matter taken up was
that of the proposed new cemetery.
Councilman Teis said he had talk
with General Manager Smith of the
Townsite Co. in reference to the
cemetery and that Mr.. Smith in
formed him that Councilman
Witcher had told him that the
finances of the city were not in a
very flourishing condition and that
the city did not care to expend too
much money at the present time. Mr..
Smith then told Teis that the Town
site was willing to wait a reasonable
time for the money which would be
due for putting in the water pipe!
Mayor Mcdonald suggested that the
cemetery matter be settled as soon as
possible.
A communication was read from
the Nevada Northern relative to
raising the track on Clark street
which the council at its last meeting
authorized the company to do, the
city to pay the expense.
The communication stated that ac-
cording to manager Rankin. it would
be uwnise to do anything with the
track until after the sewer pipe had
been laid. The council thought
favorably of the suggestion and in
structed the clerk to notify the rail-
road that the change need not be
made until the pipe had been laid.
The city engineer suggested that
the city get right of way through
the Nevada Northern ground in front
of the court house before excaVating
to lay the sewer pipe. The company
owns Is feet on each side of the
track and the sewer will run over
four feet of that ground. The city
engineer was instructed to see Cen
eral Manager Cannon and ask for
the privilege.
The mayor had the clerk read a
communication which was as fol-
lows:
Ely, Nevada, June 80. 1909.
To the Honorable City Council of
the City of Ely:
Gentlemen
have delayed addressing a
message to you for various reasons.
First, it was necessary to have the
