been running on the route between this
city and landings in Nomini and Lower

creek, has been withdrawn from that
route and the City of Milford has again
taken II up.
The Milford left here yesterday morn
ing and the Capital City will return to
the upper route this morning. The shift
ing about Of the steamers was in the
nature OF an experiment to ascertain by
trial il the Milford would give efficient
service In the shoal tributaries of the
river. but after weeks trial it has been
determined that owing to her draft of
water she is better suited for the lower
route, and she will be kept upon It, The
steamer Wakefield. which has been for
several years past employed on the up
per river route. is out of service while a
new boiler is being built for her.

TURN TO STEAMSHIPS.

of sailing craft and the masters are
qualifying themselves to take command
Of steamships as well as the windjam-
ner.

largest owners of sailing craft on the

THREE TICKETS LIKELY
IN DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
Question Will Be Decided at
Meeting of Central
Committee.

1t appeared last night that when the
democrats meet in battle royal at the
primaries In this city May q to elect
delegates to a city convention, which In
turn elects six delegates to the demo-
cratic national convention, there will be
three tickets in every one of the twenty
two election districts Whether or not
that promise will turn out to be true in
every instance cannot be told until to-
morrow night when the democratic GEN.
trail committee meets. At that session of
the committee, the politicians who are
scrapping to control the city convention
May % will pass upon the tickets Of
fered and will be ready to announce Of
fetal ballots.
to the observations made last night. will
be those which can be termed the Walter
j. Costello ticket, the Newman ticket
and Darr ticket.
Claim Of Costello Clans.
The Costello clans, who are predicting
for themselves a clean sweep, claim to be
the original democrats who cried aloud
for a delegation to Baltimore instructed
for Clark. The Newman ticket. 1t was
understood last night, would be called a
Clark ticket. but the Costello people de-
clare they want none of it for theirs,
and refuse to recognize 1t as such. Some
Of the Costello men say they consider
the Newman ticket a Harmon ballot. The
Darr ticket, 1t is claimed by the demo-
Gratis around town last night, is for Will
son straight through.
When the democratic central commit
tee meets tomorrow night those who
want to get into the primary fight will
have to put up $50 a ticket for every
district At this figure the cost of run
ming for the honor of delegate is fairly
high. The money will be expended on
the election, and any balance will be
turned into the democratic campaign
fund.
