FIRST EDITION
The Democratic Rally.
[Continued from First Tage.J
had been asked to help the Republi
cans to change the Iasi city administra
tion, which they did, but the Republi
cans will not be so willing to help the
Democrats to change the present Na
tional Administration.
Mr. Townsend said that a few years
ago the Republicans of Wilmington
had started on the wrong tack to build
the basin, and that the Democrats bad
followed them, instead of putting out
the work by contract., as should have
been done, so that every tax-payer
could know just how the money was
applied.
Mr. Townsend further said that
there would be no more Republican
Presidents for a score of years ; that
Gov. Tilden would reform all the
abuses under which we now suffer,
ami that we will have better times and
lighted taxes than we have had since
the days of old Gen. Jackson.
He also alluded to the prop
pcrance movement, and ad 1
Democrats to have nothing to do with
it. It is the same dodge that was
practiced years ago, when Democrats
were coaxed into supperting Temper
ance tickets,while the advocates of the
movement sneaked around and voted
the opposition tickets.
In conclusion he urged the Demo
crats of Wilmington to go to work
earnestly for the success of the ticket,
and assured them that the Democrats
of Appoquimmink would help them
in tho good work.
The hour being late when Mr.
Townsend concluded the meeting ad*
journed with three hearty cheers for
Tilden, Hendricks, Williams and the
whole ticket, and three more for
Samuel Townsend,

other lumber merchants of Port De

creaking end scattering rafts conse
quent upon Sunday's storm. All the
lumber and coal dealers sustain loss by
flooding along the river front.
In Hartford county the house of Dr.
John Sapington at Darlington, in
course of construction, was demolish,
ed, nothing being left but a mass of
debris.
At a late hour on Saturday night
experienced burglars entered tbe
"Mammoth Store" of H. L. Whitelock
& Co., at Rising Sun, in Cecil county,
and packed the most valuable of the
stock, consisting in part of silks, kid
gloves, revolvers, &c. The then went
to the house of the section man on the
Philadelphia and Baltimore Central
railroad, broke it open and took out
the hand car, loaded on the plunder
and started South, passing through the
towns of Coloia, Liberty Grove. Row
landville and Port Deposit, and then
to Perryville, where they dumped the
car into the river &Dd it is supposed
took a train for Baltimore or Philadel
phia with their booty. They were seen
at several points along their route, but
no one suspected their character.
The dwlling of Andrew Orr, Esq,,of
Port Deposit, was entered Sunday
night during the storm, and box con
taining money and other valuables
taken.
5,637 Venn* of the Hebrew Calendar
Yesterday the 5,637th year of the
Jewish calendar was celebrated with
the usual peculiar festivities. The be
ginning of the festival proper was at
dusk on Tuesday, and yesterday morn
ing services were held in the synago
gues from 8.30 to 12. In the temples
of the old school, or sect, tbe services
will be continued for two days longer.
At Rrodef Shalom, at the corner of
Board and Mount vernon streets, the
ceremonies were extremely solemn,but
the learned Dr, Jastrow, who presides
over the congregation,was not present.
The venerable Doctor is seriously ill
at Cape May and has been for several
months. A number of distinguished
rabbis from other cities were present at
several of the synagogues. — Timet.

A Beautiful Residence.— The resi
dence of James H, Rap., of Newark, Del.,
is one of the most attractive places in the
county. It is 185 feet front, and about
200 teet deep. The house is large and
commodious and built in a substantial
manner, with summer kitchen attached to
which is an ice house with a capacity to
hold 00 tons. The garden is tastefully
arranged and contains a quantity of choice
fruit trees, among which we mention
Spanish chestnuts, English walnuts, lem
ons, apples, cherries, jiears and an abun
dance of excellent grapes. In the rear of
the garden is a large and well arranged
barn, with stable,carriage house, granary
and carriage, house, hennery and harness
room attached, In the stable we noticed
a pair of beautiful ponies, equal in style
to any we have seen lor a long time. Back
of the bam is a 25 acre lot of highly im
proved land, used we believe as a pasture
lot and for his poultry to mn in.
Mr. Ray is a prominent citizeji of New
ark and has filled the offices of Justice of
the Peace and Notary Public for a num
ber of years, besides being extensively en
gaged in the Real Estate business. He is
also engaged in the fanning business, and
he has been very successful, liaving raised
as high as 52 bushels of oats to the acre
this year.
The Last Payment.— This morning,
Joseph K. Adams, Treasurer of the Fire
mens' Centennial Association, received
from Leander F. Riddle, Treasurer of the
State Centennial Commission,a receipt for
$111.75. This is the last payment of the
fund raised by the F. C. A. for the erec
tion of the Delaware State Centennial
building. The amount of contributions
were within a few dollars of being sulli
nent to meet the entire expense incurred
in the erection of the buildings.

Concludes tue third volume of this moat
admirable magazine with a very inter
esting array of contributions. Among
the first is an article by Prof. Richard
A. Proctor, entitled "The Morning and
Evening Star." It is an admirable pa
per, explaining simply and clearly the
various changes and conditions of the
planet Venus, so far as known. The
distinguished author gives many inter*
esting facts and explanations in the
short space of five pages, and illustrates
them with four excellent diagrams.
Mrs. Oliphant's series on "Windsor
Castle ' is concluded in the present num
ber with a paper on "Queen Victoria."
It is illvistrated with several fine pictures
and a large and beautiful engraving of
"Princess Victoria" forms the frontis
piece of the number. We are sorry to
say "good-bve" to Mrs. Oliphant, and
the old castle she has made so interest
ing.
l
1rs. Dodge furnishes the "Talk with
Girls," this month, with the title of
"Worth your Weight in Gold;" H. H.

Woman's Museum;" Mr. Brooks' serial
story of the "Boy Emigrants" ends in a
very happy and entertaining manner;
and among the other good things of the
number are a Revolutionary story of
"How the Scotch-cap Family saved its
Beacon," with two good pictures by Sol
Eytinge; a ßtory of Italian life by Susan
Coolridge; a little poem by M. M.D.
called "Out of the Sky," and a funny jun
gle, "The Cat and Dog," exquisitely illus
trated by Addie Ledyard.
The "Centennial" is recognized in
Dick Hardin's comic and inimitable "boy

the Pane," and in an article on "How
General Washington got his Clothes."—

THE STREET MARKET.
The Street market, this morning was
unusually well supplied with truit, a
goad portion of which bore evidence of
having been rudely removed from tho
trees by Sunday's storm. Apples and
pears, in particular were very plentiful,
and quite cheap. Battered looking
peaches were selling at 10 and 15 cents
per half peck, but good ones were not
obtainable for less than 25 cents. By
the basket they ranged from $1,J5 to
$1.75. Buter took an upward tendency,

Centennil Travel.— The Centen
nial travel still continues without
abatement, the P. W. & B. R. R. Co*
are taxed to their utmost capacity to
furnish the necessary cars.
Three thousand passengers,including
a number Odd Fellows, came from
Washington yesterday over the Poto
mac road, and went to Philadelphia
by way of of the Philadelphia and
Wilmington road.
This morning, in addition to the
regular trains, the extra excursion
trains'froni Baltimore passed through
Wilmington on the way to the Cen
tennial. One of these trains contained
a large deputation of Odd Fellows,
who were going to join the parade
of the Order, this afternoon.
The Odd Fellows— The delegation of
Odd Fellows that left Wilmington, this
morning, to join the parade in Philadel
phia, numbered about 500, including
about forty from the various lodges
down tbe State. They were accomp&n*
ied by the City land United Cornet Band.
A number of ladies also accompanied
the excursion. The train was composed
of old cars, and looked more like an
emigrant train than an excursion train.
Over 6000 tickets from Washington,
and 1300 from Baltimore, were sold yes
terday.
Havoc Among the Fruit Trees.—
The storm of Sunday , caused great
havoc amongt the fruit trees all over
thePeninsula. Not onlywere trees strip
ed of their fruit, whole orchards were
deva6ted, the trees being tom up by
the roots. Peach trees, in particular,
suffered greatly, and the loss in this
respect alone will reach many thou*
sand dollars.
Police Cases. —Jacob Fredinger,
charged with the larceny of a ring
from Wm. A.Rue. was dismissed, the
evidence being insufficient.
Two drunks were fined fifty cents
and costs each.

articles on American sports. It is pro
fusely illustrated and great pains bave

subject, not failing to include a minute
aecount of the curious way in which the
rods are manufactured. Mr. Clarence
Cook continues his illustrated talks about
furniture, his headings this time being :
"en route for the dining-room—a halt in
the hall—the dining-room. " Col. War

tains information as to agricultural edu
cation which will be new to most read

Chinamen in San Francisco, " and makes
some queer statements. Then there is
a great sketch of the Great Fair by
Donald G: Mitchell, also a paper by John
Burroughs entitled "Autnmn Tides a
story by Boyesen called "The Man who
lost his Name;" continuations of "That
Lass o'Lowries " and 'Thilip Nolan's
Friends and poems by Richard Henry

directions about fall planting. In "Cul
ture and Progress" Darwin is discussed;
the "World's Work" describes the arti

The breaking »f tbe bank and washing
away of the Tasker ß. R., has left the
Delaware Iron Co. short of material, and
in consequence 100 hands were laid off
last evening. The works will Jbe run as
long as material lasts and then will have
to close until the Railroad is rebuilt.
This will be hard on our laboring classes.
Locomotives are employed in putting
up trees in our city, Quite a new use
and rather expensive we should judge.

gaged in tearing up the bed of Delaware
street and intends finishing the work as
fast as possible.
