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 v 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 i 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 the son-in-law of Dr. Ridgeley, who was the brother of Henry M. Ridgeley, 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 Harrington's loud brilliancy fascinates the judge. The mo ment Harrington took charge of the cam pain a considerable Republican element in the northern county dropped the party. WasJilugloit County: ~ [Special Telegram to the Globs.l Newpoet.

Additional Details of tlie Destruction— Fears that One of the Kuipl_»yes I'erisiied in the Flames. New Yoke, Oct. 30.—Abbey's Park thea ter, Broadway and Twenty-second street, burned this evening foar hours before Mrs. Langtry was to make her debut before an American audience. The building and all th.3 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 were 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 in 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 i 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 1 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." * ANOTHER 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 a: 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 iis now suffering from nervousness and disappointment He has secured the Grand Opera house for Mon day, when Mrs. Langtry will. make her debut-"..Jefferson- was t0... 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 ito 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 f theater, $75,000; Insured for $45,000. Parsons & Scarlett occupy ing the ground floor, tailors, $30,000; partly insured.

Recently ;. there was made; public ' corresponence between Arabi Hubbell, his secretary Col.

The 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 sgo Hubbell : visited Boston to in duce Collector Worthington to put the ma chinery of the custom house in that city to work in the '. interests of: the Republican party. Hubboll's' mission was fruitless, 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. The 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 p 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 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.

Washington, Oct 30.—The annual ro port of First Assistant; Postmaster General Hatton, gives the number of - postoffice3 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 geneial. 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,s2s,ooo 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 balahce 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 revenue 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 the 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 i 335 special adjustments, amounts -to . $563,400, or 18.14 per cent more than last year. - -?.' ff.

' Our Girl Rough. •;. : - Her voice is loud in street or house, and inclines to a screech. . Her laugh is coarse, and .may be heard two blocks distant. She is from 2to 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 1 aim of their wandering is to pass and : repass, to ogle and per haps chaff with the hands of boy roughs on the street corners. * These: are her beau ideals of manhood. / She is hung' with cheap finery and dressed spas modically; in spots. H her skirt is old and seedy it will 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 i 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 of oysters or cream from him. "* .'She will stand in doorways near her. own residence, ;i or " the " locality i with which she is familiar, and / rudely criti cise passing strangers. On an 'excur sion , boat she is noted for noise and übiquitousness. It is with a keen zest that she goes to the country oh, 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 oh reaching home. 1 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, r 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 f fuddled.'/ Her i youth • will : soon be over. She is bony, thin, chest-narrow, and inclines to length and lankiness. :.i Her ideal of -symmetry is the fit of '_. a I corset. *f 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 13 the most painful and i; discourag ing quality about her. • . There -1 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 die a trifle.
