11 JUDGE RUSSELL HERE I Ex-Governor and Wife Returned Yesterday Morning from the National Capital. THE P0ST0FFXE CONTEST. Now About Conceded that Expected Nomi nation Will Not be Hade Some Other Posslblitles Washington View of the SltoaUoa. Ex-Governor D. L.

Russell and Mrs. Russell returned yesterday morning from Washington and went immedi-over to; their home in Brunswick county. In spite the advices as to ttfex Governor's critical condition In Washington be appeared to be quite well upon his arrival here, though as a matte? of fact, his physicians have informed him that -bis is really of a serious nature. It is hot ibe ex-Governor's how-ever, to give up and he is quoted as having said' that he would be over to bis office to-day and that he was going to try the Terry ease, in which he is oce of the leading counsel for the dele odant, irext It appears now to be about conceded by all parties to the controversy that Mrs. Russell will not get the post-office; indeed It is highly probable that after all the agitation about the matter, she would not take the place anyway.

The Washington correspondents Bun- day suited quite positively that events of the twenty-four hours preceding gave assurance that Rollins would be dvised this week that the nomination of Mrs. Russell would not be made by the President Once more, it Is stated, the name of Thomas E. Wallace is mentioned with favor, and friends of John H. Gore, will doubtless re new their activitv. Miss Darbv mlsht sta'nd a very good it is recorded, were it not for the fact that her appointment would be bitterly, opposed by Chairman Rollins.

There are others who are quite positive that Mr. D. L. Gore will be the business man finally settled upon. Judge Russell is quoted as hatiag said just before leaving Washington: 'I have not the (least idea when the President expects to dispose of the Wil mington postofnee matter.

In fact, I have not discussed the subject with the President, nor any official of the Poetoffiee Department, and further more, it la not my intention to do so. The papers are in the hands of the proper authorities, and they can dispose of them as they sea fit It is still true thai Mrs. Russell has made no ap plication. for the office. The Republi can state organization tendered the place to her, and she signified her wU- lingness to accept, and our campaign has ended there." THE ROAD ROLLER MOVED I For the First Time ia Several Years.lt Will be Pat to Work.

And now some of his colleagues on the board are accusing Alderman Sweeney of taking the road roller home with him and using it for his own selfish purposes. Be that as it map, 'tis a fact that the big machine is anchored not a block from Alder man Sweeney's home, and it does ap pear to be selfish on the part of that official to remove an object of ao muoh "beauty" from the front of the City Hall. Alderman Sweeney'a friends and they are not counted on one's fingers however, say that May or Springer ia mixed up in the removal transaction some way, and that It is the chief executive's purpose to ultimately have it in front of his resi dence further' down the street. But to be serious, the roller wm moved under its own steam to the new macadam road on Second, between Walnut and Red Cross streets yester day, and it will be used In making a hard surface on that fine thorough fare. The machine is now in running order and the Streets and Wharves Committee, for the first lime in several years, propose to make use of it.

Mayor's Court Yesterday. The mayors court yesterday was chiefly taken up with cases of no In terest. Tom Branch, (who was out on bond for being In company with a tramp who stole articles of wearing ap parel from the residence of Mrs. Kelly, Third and Market streets, was charged with being drunk and down. but was surrendered by his bondsman and placed in jail until Superior Court meets next week.

Anderson Evans, the big-framed negro who cut Officer C. E. Wood in the nose resist' ing arrest near Fourth and Castle streets Saturday night, was sent to the roads for disorderly conduct until Superior Court meets, when he will be given trial for assaulting an officer. OatoBoney, in whose "ranch" a col ored boy was murdered about a year ago, was sent to the roads for SO lays for drunkenness and disorderly eon- duct. Geo.

Mack, a coal cart driver arrested by Policeman Holt at Water and Princess streets for fast driving, waa fined S5 and costs. Twas Only Fair. The appearance of Miss Sadie Marti- not at the Academy last night In Hla Excellency, the Governor," was only fair success. It was certainly not op to the standard of the advanced-price attractions which immediately pre ceded it. Except for gorgeousness of her costume, the star of the play could not be distinguished from the other female members of the cost, who were very good indeed.

The audience waslargp. Geo. R. French Sons. 1904.

Chaofe la Arrangements by Will Not be Shipped North for Burial. Solemn Exercises Sunday la TUestoa Balldlnr, All that is mortal of the late Miss Amy M.

Bradley, benefactress, noted educator and philanthropist, will be committed to earth from which it came this afternoon in Oakdale cemetery, after brief concluding funeral services by Rev. D. McClure, pastor of St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, from the residence at 4 o'clock and at the graver whence the casket will be immediately borne after the services at the house. The arrangements by which It was proposed to take the remains Sunday afternoon to Brattleboro, for interment In the old family jurying ground were changed upon the arrival Sunday morning from RiCh- ond, of Mr. Geo.

B. Randlett, nephew of Miss Bradley, who brought the Information that the old cemetery In which the good woman willed to be laid let rest long since been abandoned and all members of the family had removed from that vicinity. This information, with the expressed desire of many of Miss Bradley's friends here that she be buried in the 'community in which she had accomplished such a great work, led "to a conclusion in the matter at once. At first it was thought that it would be eminently proper that she should be buried on the beautiful campus of Tileston High School, to which she was so tenderly and partial arrangements to that end had been made, but it was yesterday afternoon decided that, all things considered, it would be best to make the interment In Oakdale. SERVICES SUNDAY AVTSBNOON.

The services Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock over the remains of Miss Bradley in the assembly hall of theTills-ton building, were bsautiful and Impressive indeed. Hundreds and hundreds of Miss Bradley's former pupils, many of them past the meridian of life, gathered reverently to do honor to one whom they loved and had held in the highest esteem since' the days of their youth. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the remains had been tenderly borne to the building, where they lay in solemn state attended alternately by a guard of honor, members of, which. served by twos each hour in the following order, all of them Miss Bradley's former pupils, viz. Messrs.

Louis Hall, Hunter Wood, Charles Yarborougb, Bertram Quelcb, James F. Post, Russell Foster, Joseph W. Yates and Edwin A. Metts. Hundreds of people viewed the aasket and paid the beloved woman a silent tribute as they came and went before the hour for the afternoon service.

A magnificent floral pall, designed and ordered by- the alumni of the schools of which Miss Bradley was so Instrumental in founding, lay upon the casket. The pall waa of green galaz leaves with designs interwoven with white carnations and white rosea. The inscription "Our School Mother" was beautifully executed in immortelles. Dr. McClure paid a beautiful tribute to the lire and work of Miss Bradley and said those who 'then mourned should thank God for sending her to this community.

Dr. Mc- Olure's remarks were touching and most appropriate. The hymns were by a special choir composed of Nellie King, soprano; Mrs. Muse alto; Mr. Charles Dushan, tenor; Mr.

R. H. Grant, bass, and Mrs. Mat-tie I. Chasten, accompanist Among the selections were "Nearer, My God to Thee," "Lead Kindly Light" vand "Abide With Me." After the services many with bowed heads passed by the casket and soon afterwards it was borne back to the little Bradley cottage, on the corner of the campus, where the good woman chose to spend her closing days.

The honorary pall-bearers were Messrs. James Sprunt, Jan. F. Post, Sam'l Northrop, Wm. H.

Ohadbourn, Ohas. W. Worth, of the school committees, and Supt. Jno. J.
