of Chancellor Harrington being at Dela ware college, was accused of the murder of a fellow student A certain rowdyism prevailed at that - and other bor der colleges, which was greatest about commencement time when stupid and half obscene mock programmes were circulated by one set of students at the ex pense of the graduates and orators. One of the young men thus saterized broke into Harrigtnon's room and seized all the printed copies of this libelous programme. While he was grappling with Harring ton another student from Baltimore, who carried a knife like all the Baltimore row dies of those times, reached over the in truder's shoulders and stabbed him in the breast. The man fell and concluded that Harrington was his slayer. A long trial followed in the court at New Castle, and although acquitted, many Delawareans thought to the day of his death that Sam '■ Harrington killed Roach. Dick Harring ton is t.e son-in-law of Dr. Bidgeley, who was the brother of Henry M. Bidgeley, a former senator of tho United States, and both were nephews of Chancellor Ridgeley, the second chancellor of Delaware, who left his money to Dr. Ridgeley. The Doc tor having only one child, a daughter,Diek Harrington will prabably be the beneficia ry of this respectable fortune. The natural leader of the Republican party i n Delaware is Judge Fisher, a man of good - family, but Harringtons loud brilliancy fascinates the judge. The mo ment Harrington look charge of the Cam pain a considerable Republican element in the northern county dropped the party. Washington County.

Additional Details of tlie "Destruct'o — Tears that One of tlis Kuipl > yes Perished in the Fiaines. New Yoke, Oct. 30.—Abbey's Park thea ter, Broadway and Twenty-second street, burned this evening hours before Mrs. Langtry was to make her debut before an American audience. The building and all th3 contents were destroyed. Estimated at $250,000. Scores of employes were on the stage at the time of the fire. All escaped with the ' exception of Henry Clark and Wm. F. Dorn, who ware driven to the upper windows by the fire and in jumping out were badly in jured. The origin of the fire is obscure. It started in the proscenium box behind the private box, apparently -SLin the partition - wall. The rumor that the scene painter had upset a lamp was not substantiated. The fire swept rapidly and was beyond control when help arrived. Much delay was caused by the failure of the automatic alarms on the stage to work and likewise of the fire extinguishers. Ten minutes elapsed before the arrival of firemen, and then the flames were bursting through the - roof and . the building was doomed. From the balcony of ■ the Albemarle hotel, two blocks away, Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Labouchere viewed the conflagration. Mrs. Langtry had just finished packing her wardrobe in which she was to appear in the evening and was in the very act of sending it to the theater, when the fire broke out. Abbey's loss is $100,000. He will immediately make ar rangements to open Monday night next in the Grand Opera house, with Mrs. Langtr y in an ''Unequal Match." ANOTHEB ACCOUNT. The theater was small and elaborately decorated. The main entrance was on Broadway through a three story building in which were stores and offices, and on the third floor the property room. This was an old building. The theater itself was built in 1874. It extended from Twenty second street half way to Twenty-first street on Broadway. The stage entrance was on Twenty-second street. It had been newly frescoed and upholstered in prepar ation for Mrs. Langtry's debut. The scen ery for the play was costly and elabor ate, especially that for the second act, being painted on satin and hand embroidery. It was all destroyed. There had been no rehearsal to-day but merely scene sitting for Mrs. Langtry. ' The fire signal boxes failed to' act when the attempt was made, and the stage hose and several fire extinguishers, the employers were unable to work. The fire spread so rapidly valuable paintings could not be removed from the office. Mr. Hamilton Weaver, stage carpenter, says the stage hose worked all right and the stage was flooded but the fire had reached the flies. Mr. Abbey was found . at the Brunswick hotel. His loss he esti mated at over $100,000, and insurance $105,000. The building belonged to the McCombe estate. He was on his way to the theater when the fire broke out, and he hastened to inform Mrs. Langtry of his misfortune. She is now suffering from nervousness and disappointment. He has secured the Grand Opera house for Mon day, when Mrs. Langtry will make her debut. -v Jefferson was to follow Florence at the Grand . Opera house Saturday week, but Abbey thought under the circumstances that he would cancel his date. Florence had another week to run from Saturday next but surrendered his rights. In regard to tickets * sold every thing will be made satisfactory. Other losses are estimated as follows: C. H- George, musical director, who occupied a store under the theater, $75,000; Insured for $45,000. Parsons & Scarlett, occupy ing the ground floor, tailors, $30,000; partly insured. The building suffered to the extent of $40,000; insured. To-night, John Leo, stage carpenter at the theater, was reported missing. .*. It is | thought he perished in the flames.

The Hubbell-Vahone Correspondence. iSpecial Telegram to tho Globa. 1 Washington, Oct. 30.Recently there \ was made public corresponence between j Arabi Hubbell, his secretary Col. Hender : son, and Senator Mahone, in which the necessity for a large contribution of funds to aid Mahone and the Readjustee was set forth. Tho genuineness of the letters pub lished could not be disputed ; and all con cerned, although greatly annoyed at the publicity given the correspondence, did not attempt to deny its authenticity. It was hinted that Gen. Butler was the person who obtained the correspondence and made it public. Such is not the fact. About two weeks pgo Hubbell visited Boston to in duce Collector Worthin-'toh to nut the ma , ...... ■3 - •*■ chinery of the custom house in that city to work in the interests of the Republican party. Hubbell's mission was fruitless, j Worthington refused to compel his subord inates to pay the assessments that the chairman of the congressional committee would fain have laid upon them. Hubbell stopped at the Parker house. When he left his room a gentleman and his wife were given the - apartment and the lady, with common curiosity, opened the bureau drawers before unpacking her baggage In one of the drawers a package of letters addressed to Mr. Hubbell was found. Tho supposition is that he laid these letters up on the top of the bureau, intending to put them in his valise; that the servant in cleaning the room discovered them and placed them in the drawer, and that their owner forgot all about them. The first let ters in the package were those relating to the Virginia campaign. The others were of a private and personal character. Cop ies were made of the Virginia correspondence and given to the press. The originals were preserved. The other letters being of value to Hub bell only, were sent by express to him at j the congressional committee's headquar ters in this city. Gen. Butler, it is author itively stated, did not know of the cor respondence until he. saw the letters in print. -pzrrx.r:.

Washington, Oct. —The annual re port of First Assistant Postmaster General Hatton, • gives the number of - postoffices in operation June 30, 1882, as 46,231, au increase of 1,719 daring the year; 1,951 of these offices are filled by appointment of the president, known as "presidential" offices, and the remainder, 44,280, are filled by appoint of the postmaster general. The free de livery system was in operation during the year in 112 principal cities, and employed 3,115 carriers. The regular appropration for this service was $2,600,000 which was added by special appropriation,$25,000 to meet the anticipated defficien cy, making a total ap propriation of $225,000, an increase of $125,000 over the previous year. The total cost of the service was $2,623,262, leaving an unexpended balance of $1,737. The average cost per carrier was $835.75, a de crease of $37.79. This decrease was ow ing to the appointment of additional car riers (auxiliaries) at $400 per annum, the appropriation • being insufficient to employ carriers at higher salary. Gen. Hatton recommends the free delivery sys tem be extended to towns within a distance with another which have not singly the re quired qualifications of population or a gross reveuue entitling them to this ser vice, but which have an aggregate of more than the required population or revenue. During this year the regular biennial adjustment of the 2,012 presidential postmasters' salaries, made an increase of 248, or 14 per cent, as compared with tie previous adjustment. Returns from all parts of the Union showed a very gratify ing and general increase of business, and the sum necessary to pay the increased salaries of postmasters, including 335 special adjustments, amounts to $563,400, or 18.14 per cent, more than last year. . .:: : ' . - •. .-/-. NATIONAL BANKBUPT law. „ .{Special Telegram to the Globe.] Washington, D. C.,< Oct. 30.—-Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, has written a letter touching the subject of a national bank rupt law, in which he says: "I have great hope that a bill containing. the provisions of that drawn by Judge Lowell, with some modifications, not changing the essentials of his plan except in one particular, and which would probably receive his appro bation, may 7 be adopted at. the coming session of congress. Such a bill has been reported from the judiciary com mittee of the house.

PAU r DAILY GLOBE, TUESDAY MORNING OCTOBER 31, 1882.

Cleveland, 0., Oct., 30.— Judge Burke, having returned home, was asked to-day concerning the recent purchase of the con trol of the Nickel Plate line. He declines to tell who compose the purchasing - syn dicate, but says the road will be operated as an independent line, and to some ex tent, at least, will be. a competitor of the . Lake Shore. He said he purchased 135, 000 shares of preferred stock at 37, and 150,000 common at 17, making 265,000 of ti'.o 500,000 of the road's stock. Ha has stopped farther purchase until he ascer tains whether the syndicate wish more. The $7,205,000 is all the money involved in the deal. Judge Burke denies the report that the purchasers assumed to take care of the bonds and interest for one year, without recourse to the earnings of ; the road. He says the contiact is simply a purchase of stock, and no obligation is as sumed beyond what naturally goes ' with controlling that amount of shares. The syndicate has no defined plan, and has not consulted with reference to the officers. Judge Burke thinks no sweeping change cf employes will be made. A conference of the syndicate will soon be called. At pres ent, Judge Burke says it is not known pre cisely who or ho tv many will be in it.. The belief is gaining ground here that the syn dicate is the same as the Hocking'valley road and the large extent of the coal fields iu this state, which is made up of English and New York capitalists.

Y., Oct. 30.— report that Jay Gould had a narrow escape from being run over by the cars at Rochester is denied by all members of the party. The original story started through mistaken identity. Judge Advotate Swaine in reply to an in quiry of the secretary of war, takes the ground that officers of the army who re fuse to pay their debts are liable to pro cesses of common law the same as civil ians, and th where t\eir acts tenl to bring discredit upon the army or in any way to impair the efficiency o: discipline of the service they constitute sufficient cause for court martial. Oar Girl Rough. Her voice is loud in street or house, rind inclines to a screech. Her laugh is coarse, and _ay be heard two blocks distant. She is from 12 to 18 years of age, and is out every evening until 9 or 10 o'clock. She wanders along the sidewalks with companions of her own ilk. The chief . aim of their wandering is to pass and repass, to ogle and per haps chaff with the bands of boy roughs on the street corners. * These are her bead ideals of manhood. She is hung with cheap finery and dressed spas . modically in spots. If her skirt is old and Seedy it w_l not prevent her from putting on the new jacket of glaring color, whereby is brought out more strongly the age and seediness of the lower garment. She loves the corn starch ice-cream of the Bowery, and much of her time and strength are occupied in consuming the cheap candy of that locality. If strengthened by the company of one of her "sort," she is not averse to the advances of an en tire stranger, and -will accept a treat ol oysters or cream from him. .; She will stand in doorways near her own residence, or the locality with which she is familiar, and rudely criti cise passing strangers. On an excur sion boat she is noted for noise and ubiquitousness. It is with a keen zest that she goes to the country on a foray and devours the fruit plundered by her " Jaky" from the farmer's orchard and garden. She will steal all the flowers possible, and throw half of them away on reaching home. For the country proper she has no relish. A night in the farm-house without her companions would be misery for her. . Her sum of life is "gaudy,- ill-chosen dress, tight shoes, high heels, a "feller," dancing every other night, oysters and theaters. She can drink beer, and is not averse to getting a trifle fuddled. Her youth will soon be over. She is bony, thin, ! chest-narrow, and . inclines to length and lankiness. Her ideal of symmetry is the fit of a corset. Could she shape the human form divine, she would add to flesh and blood, high French heels. | She is not wholly bad. Her shallow ness is the most painful and discourag ing quality about ':■ her. ■ There : isn't depth enough either for any great de gree of wickedness or goodness. : She is a floating trifle on the current. She was .born a trifle and will i die a trifle. She will marry, of course, and make a husband and: herself miserable within three months after the wedding. ;"; There are several grades of our girl rough. All are not equally coarse and turbulent. -; Some affect :i a refinement and : gentility which they do not really understand * or are able* to carry out. The higher, or perhaps it might be bet ter to say costlier, class, do not dream they are "roughs." ■•:.;, But they are. Scratch their veneer and the "rough" •will be found underneath. c Feeling out of place or not at home in certain com pany, for the first hour she seems timid and ; reticent. =': This " is : only constraint. Sooner or later she will -burst out, and the monosyllables Yes" or "No," being all she has said hitherto, will be ex changed for some verbal coinage fresh from the second or third-class theater. — The Chranh.ir>. The Medical Student's Colony. The College of Physicians and Sur geons, the Bellevue Hospital College and the University College 'contribute over ".-" 1,500 students .' to * the city's population, who come, as we hive stated, from every part of the. world —even from South - Australia and India—and who h*a**3 representatives among them of every political bias and social condi tion. The native Americans include a large proportion of the sons of : poor farmers and artisans of the Souther*! and Western States, who, bringing with them little or no margin to the minimum' of fees, sacrifice personal comfort, like young Spartans, to their ambition. In the neighborhood of : the colleges there ore many shabby, lodging-houses which ! provide shelter and food for $4 a week ; ■ and, subsisting upon rations of a class at] : which a well-to-do laborer would com plain, the' young .doctor pursues his' studies by the light of a kerosene lamp in the attic gloom of these caravansa ries. . • v. _ The coldest winter finds some of the students trudging to lectures and demon strations through snow and slush, with out | overcoats, and with shoes ' worn down to a paper condition of tenuity.* But mixed with.. these.-plebeians are other young men of fortune and fash ion, who dress exquisitely, belong to the ;clubs, and smoke, if a cigar, a choice Havana, or, if it is a pipe, an elaborate meerschaum, filled with aromatic per ique and Turkish. No factions inspired by envious ill-will are bred by these con trusts, however. v; \ - The presence of medical students is not considered a desirable element in large cities. They are apt to he law less, exuberant, and addicted to noc turnal disorders. Mr.'Robert Sawyer and Mr. Benjamin Allen are not the most satisfactory guests to landladies, nor the least troublesome neighbors to persons of quiet and early habits. " "What with lectures," clinique3 and recitations, beside practice in the lab oratory and dissecting-room, the indus trious student who means to be success ful has little time for recreation except in brief intervals between the retire ment of one professor and the entrance of another, and the only * period when he can conscientiously rest is Sunday. The first lecture begins at 9 o'clock m the morning, and the last is not con cluded until 5 in the afternoon. At all hours until 9 or 10 at night students may be seen singly or in twos and threes entering or leaving the colleges, where the intricate secrets of physi ology, the tissues, arteries and nerves are revealed in the sickening atmos phere and amid the ghastly' surround ings of the dissecting-room. j But -.the' atmosphere, though overpowt ring to a stranger at his initiation,: is not; per ceptibly offensive to those accustomed to it, and the "subjects," instead of be ing repulsive to the embryo surgeons, possess an absorbing interest, and all the /beauty of a perfect 'mechanism:'. There is no dearth of "subjects" in New- York; where hundreds die unrecognized in the wards of the charity hospitals, and many are picked up in the rivers with no voice or record to tell how they came to their end.— W. H. Rideing, m Harper's Magazine. . Lincoln's Title of Rail-splitter. Mr. Seward was nominated in the convention by Mr. Evarts, of New York. Mr. Lincoln. was nominated by • Mr: - Judd, of Illinois. The nomination of Mr.- Lincoln was seconded - by Mr. Delano, of Ohio, who said : "I desire to second the nomination of a man who can split rails and maul Democrats—Abraham Lincoln." This probably originated the term "rail-splitter," which immedi ately became popular. Decorated and illuminated rails surrounded the news paper offices, and became a leading feature of the campaign. "Rail-splitter Battalions" were formed in the differ ent cities and minor villages of the ', North. At the great ratification meet ing at Cooper Institute, June 8, after speeches by Messrs. Evarts, Blatchford, G. "W. Curtis, Gen. Nye, and Judge Tracey, of California, the last named said: "We wage no war upon the South, we harbor no malice against the South. We merely mean to fence them I in" (pointing significantly to a rail ex-" ; hibited on the platform); "this is alb we > propose to do. to stop the extension of slavery, and Abe Lincoln has split the rails to build the fence." — The Cent- unj. ■ \ ' ':".,'.;,'.
