Nearly All the Regular Republicans in Duck Creek Hundred Wished the Place. Special to "The Morning- News." SMYRNA, Jan, 7- Thomas B. Megear, wwll-known merchant of this town, was to-day appointed postmaster for Smyrna by President McKlnley, and he will probably enter upon his dutSes at once. Mr. Megear will succeed Samuel M.

Reynolds, whose term expired last month. The ap-polnlment of Mr. Megear 'caused no surprise, as It was rumored some time ago that Cr.loi:el H. A. da Pont and II.

O. Merse had to recommend, him: for the place, and a lettjff was received here a few days ago from Colonel du Pont stating that appointment of Mr. Megeor had bfon decided upon. Mr. Metros! has been in the mprchaadis-Ing bufiness here for many years and Is a respected citizen.

He Is about 60 years of age and has always been a The appointment to-day ends a warm con test which has been disturbing the Duck Creek hundred Republicans for the last six months. Soon after the election John Price; who was one of the election officers at the last election, was urged for the place and It was thought that he would get It, as Fred. E. Bach was strongly inclined to ward him, and it was understood that ex- Senator Higglna was in his favor. Then It became rumored that Price bad been drop' ped.

Mr. Megear entered the field late and the contest was between him and A. I. Hudson. a prominent young business man of Clayton, who lives in Smyrna, and who is a well-known regular He was a delegate to the Georgetown con vention.

Mr. Hudson's father was a close friend and admirer of ex-Senator Higgins, but it is understood that Mr. Higgins did mot take part In the fight for postmaster other than to express his disapproval cf the application nf ex-Postmaster Jeffer son, who was appointed through Mr. Hig-gins's influence and afterward became one of the leaders of the Addlcks camp. The Union Republicans were back of Jefferson and they comprise a large majority of the Republicans here.

Megear had some good indorsements from Republicans; and citizens generally. DEATH OF 'aqCIBB WAPLLS. Well-known Citizen of Lewes and Former Assemblyman Passes Away. Special to "The Morning News." LEWES, Jan. 7.

'Squire Lemuel W. Waples died this afternoon, aged "5, of organic heart trouble. He always interested himself in all public matters and after careful considering of any subject he was free to express his opinion and it was pretty generally respected. He was born April 5, 1823, at the old family homestead in Indian River hundred, but had spent most of his life in Lewes, for a number of years engaging in mercantile pursuits. In 1861 he was married to Miss Mary Short, who died a few years since.

Mr. Waples was a Democrat and twice represented Sussex county in the lower -branch of the General Assembly. For a number of years he had been a notary public Mr. Waples was a member of the Presbyterian church. Two sons, Robert R.

and Walter H. and a daughter, Sallie, survive him. SEW SCHOOL ECHOING AT NEWAKK A Decision to Borrow $5000 That Will Meet With Opposition. Special to "Tha Morning News." NEWARK, Jan. 7.

At a meeting of the school voters it was decided to borrow to erect an addition to the present building and also to refund the indebtedness against the school of $200. New bonds will be issued at a lower rate of interest. There wilt be considerable objection against the measure. The Legislature will be petitioned by the Board of Education to pass an act authorising them to borrow, but as the freeholders will be called upon to decide whether or not any more Indebtedness will be placed on the town, the measure Is likely to he killed. The present indebtedness of the town is over $40,000 and the rate of taxation is high and is likely to drive business men away, instead of bringing them here.

MWKATK JftVfrR'j Pr'RIL Horse Frightened and Threw Him In Front of a Trolley Car. i Special to "The Morning News." NEW CASTLE, Jan. 7. Magistrate Julian D. Jatrvter had a narrow escape this morning.

He had just driven to the cause-wa when a trollev car came along. His horso shied and wi'h a suddeni jerk dashed toward Higgins'B fence. The animal struck its heof against the rails and fall. This shafts of the carriage struck the fence and knocked It down This jar caused the carriage to upset with Mr. Janvier under neath across the track.

Motormau Clarence Whita had his car wcil under control. The cries of Mr. Janvier brought speedy assistance and he was relieved. He received a few slight scratches. NEW CASTLE BUDGET.

Special to "The Morning News." NEW CASTLE, Jan. 7. Schooner Emma L. Cottingham, which ran ashore at Rey hold's Beach during the storm of October 21, was hauled off yesterday and pro ceeded to Philadelphia in tow of the tug Lilile. The fishermen at Pennsville have applied for membership in the New Castle Asso ciation.

This will put the association on a far more substantial footing. Because there are days that the commission mer chants may want more than the fifteen New Castle, boats could supply. By having fifteen boats from Pennsville. the associa tion will meet all demands. They will charter a little steamer to go down the Delaware and purchase shad.

By doing so the fish can be sorted and packed while coming here and will be ready tor shipment, as they will carry the ice aboard the steamer.
