THE PREPARATIONS FOR THE FIGHT—
THE NEGROES GETTING THEIR
INSTRUCTIONS— GENERAI. IN
DICATIONS.
lint oi: the most sificant points con
nected witli the election to-day, is the
fact that of the one hundred and forty
men who were employed on the new
reservoir yesterday only about sixty
went to work this morning, and hut
ONE NEOROE WAS ON THE GROUND.
The reason was obvious. The rest of
I lie workmen were all in the city, work
ing in the interest of the "City King."
It was a sight this morning, after
nine o'clock, to cast the eye in the vici
nity of the \Vater Department office,
at Tenth and Market streets. Some
fifty or sixty negroes loung
corners awaiting the ora
masters, whom they obeyed with an
alacrity and servility far surpassing
that displayed by the meanest Held liana
of flic South in slavery'spulmydays.
They waited about the office door,
leaned against the tree boxes and spread
themselves along the churchyard wall.
They seemed to imve no detinned plan
of action and waited only until their
mnsters shamelessly sent them forth to
degrade the very ballot which they ac
quired through flic shedding of the na
tion's^best blood, In lnokingat the va
cant countenances of these miserable,
mindless wretches, it seemed as if their
expressionless faces, as they gazed at
eneli other, bore tlie inscription.

The election is now progressing, and
thus far has been conducted very
quietly. The liquor saloons have been
closed all day, and uo unusual drunk

working hard, and it is with pleasure

This evening, as soon as the returns

Threats of Libel.
EVERY EVENING TO BE PROSECUTED
UNLESS A RETRACTION 18 MADE
WITHIN A WEEK.
John G. Baker, Esq., member of
City Council from the Fourth Ward,
has publicly declared his intention of
prosecuting for libel the Every Even
ing newspaper, of this city, unless ijaid
paper retracts the offending assertions
within a week. The article which Mr.
Bilker takes exception to appeared in
last night'» Every Evening, and the
particularly offensive paragraph reads
as follows :
"In the Fourtli Ward, James P.
Hayes, the present efficient Democrftic
Councilman, ought to be elected by a
ood majority over McMullen, the
~ing candidate, and will be, if Baker's
attempted fruuils are prevented."
This inferential charge of attempted
fraud Mr. Baker decidedly objects to,
and on it he will base ids grounds for
a libel suit. Ho claims that the charge
affects Ids character as a private citi
zen, and in nowise refers to him in his
public capacity, in which case be
would pay no attention whatever trt it.
But now ho declares unless the '
is publicly retracted within a week,
the publishers of Every Evening jvill
have to answer at New Castle for tho
same.
What nonsense, there being no ljbel
in tho matter.
Hmasii up.—Yesterday morning at
Elkton M(l.,asan engine was taking
somo coal cars over the coal bins,
the trestle gavo way causing the engine
and ono coal car to fall into the b)ns.
Tlie engino was badly damaged, and
one coal car was smashed, but fortu
nately no person sustained any injury.
A number of laborers were at once put

A MEDICINE CHEST IN MINIATURE.
Miahler's Herb Bitters is not a beverage;
but a strictly medicinal preparation, more
thoroughly adapted to the wants of the gene
ral publio than any other in the market. Un
like all other so-called Remedies.it is prepared
under the direct personal supervision of an
eminent Physician. S. B. llartman, M. D..
the senior proprietor, is a regular graduate of
the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia
and a practicing physician pf large experi
ence and extensive practice. In such hands
the publie may rest assured that Misffier's
Bitters is compounded in strict aoc
once with correct Pharmaceutical nrlnoii
and that none but the choices ting redlenta eater
into its composition
Its immense sale alone is conclusive
that it possesses merit of a high order,
chants, bankers, clergymen, lawyers. o.v.„o
and others engaged in sedentary occupations,
experience its wonderful effects in religring
depression eaused by severe mental la
bor: while the mechanio, farmer and laborer,
find their bodily vigor restored like magie by
its use.
At this season of the year, when
rbh(Ka.Cramps,Colics and kiudred disorders,
oaused by eating unripe fruits, imprudent in
dulgence in eokd drinks, etc., are prevalent,
a certain, speedy and efftotaal remedy
be found in Mlshlera Herb Bitters.
The depressing feeling or Languor or Debili
ty, incident to tne 'heated term,'* is at <|mce
removed, tho energies restored, and new life
and vigor imparted to the prostrated system,
by its use,
InDtbpbpsia, Livrr Complaint and Ar
FSCTioNS of TUB KioMRvs it invariably W0rks
like a charm. It is not a drastio pur«« nor
heady stimulant, violent in its operations» bat
it is simply a natural remedy, thoroughly
adapted to assist nature- It supplies tone to
the stomach, reinvigorates the digestive or
gans, stimulates the secretions and promgting
a regular action of the bowels, enables
organ of the body to perform its allotted
regularly and without interruption
It is the unerring certainty of desired re
sts use, coupled with] the
fact that it is prepared by a physician of Emi
nence in his profession, that has rendered
Misher's Herb Bitters so popular, and as fami
liar ns a household word.— Thousands of
Mothebs all over the land have found it to
be the safest and best remedy for nse in t
families; they net only give it with po

used with caution find it the safest meaajs of

Criminalities.
HEINOUS PRIME COMMITTED IN MEDIA BT
A HWE1JK.
In Media, Delaware county, Pa., resides
a wealthy and respectable family by the
name of Tyler. The husband is engaged
in business in this city, and is seldom at
his home over night. On the evening of
the 10th of August last, in the absence of
all of the family excepting Mrs. Tyler,
who is well advanced in yeurs, probably
sixty years, the residence was broken in
to and robbed of somo small articles, by
a brute in human form, who, not content
with the plunder secuied, forced himself
into the old lady's apartment, and there
brutally and grossly assaulted her. When
the case was placed in the hands of the
Pennsylvania Detective Bureau (Taggart
Lukens, and Carlin) the named officers
had not the slightest eine upon which to
work. However, they ascertained in the
ly part of June several of the hands
employed by Mr. Tyler's son had been
discharged, and one of them Charles Laun
a Swede, had -been in Media the night be
fore the robbery. This was a clue eager
ly clutched at and worked out to a suc
cessful issue. Laun was traced to this
city, where he was found employed in one
of our hotels under the assumed name of
Charles Taylor. Hewaaon Saturday tak
en into custody by Detectives Taggart
and Lukens, and among his effects oil of
the property stolen from Mr. Tiler's res
idence was recovered. Likewise some
silver ware and linen, supposed to have
been stolen from some other residence.
Laun is about 35 years of age. and rather
good-looking ; and although he has been
in this country but a short time, he is
able to speak the English language quite
fluently. The prisoner will have a hear
ing before Alderman Delaney to-day. and
will then be handed over to the authori
ties of Media.— Press Aup31.
