A Youwo ruffian parading with a po litical club the other night, and becom ing unduly enthusiastic, battered a group of bystanders with his torch, in juring one so severely that he will prob ably die,while another, a young woman, is confined to her bed with serious burns. A prompt and stern example should be made of this fellow. It Is not to be sup posed that he meant to kill anybody ; but a man who is old enough to march in a political procession is old enough to know that a lighted torch is not to be used as a weapon of ofiense.—Philadel phia Times. President IIates has abandoned Washington. He has beeu speuding the fall in California, electioneering for Garfield, and now proposes to re turn'as far as his home in Ohio,and re main there until after the election in November. Really this is tho most impudont violation of his "civil ser vice" policy that has yet occurred.— The addition of $25,000 a year to the President's salary has enabled these worthies to do next tiling to nothing for the advancement of the country, which rung itself. According to the Indlaiispolis Senti nel forty-nine distinguished Democratic speakers are expected to address meet ings in that city on Tuesday. In the list appear the names of seven ex-Goveruora ten major generals and a half dozen United States Senators. Meisrs. Sey mour, Bayard, Randall, Thurman, McClellan, Curtin Wallace, Butler, Pen dleton, Forney, Kernan, Trumbull, Slocum, Rosecraus, Palm-r and Dough erty are among the speakers mentioned "Garfield to he Withdrawn."— The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer says there is vari ous talk of withdrawing Garfield. It iaye :—"The theory advanced by a repub lican of prominence is that the purpose is, in a certain contingency, to induce Garfield to withdraw from the ticket. Ihe contingency is republican defeat in Indiana." If the patriotic torchlight is to lie used sa su oflensive weapon during evening processions, as It was in Phila delphia a few nights ago, pg toon be compelled th fire the populai heart with something weaker than coal lilies will >11.

Specially reported for tbe Gazette. Dover, Del., Oct. 1.—People com menced lo arrive on the fair grounds at aneaiiy hour, this morning, and before noon the attendance numbered fully six thousand. The grand stand, with its seating capacity of over two thou sand, was crowded all day. Tbe fun commenced at 10 o'clock, with a bicycle raoe, in which the starters were G. D. Gideon, of the Germantown Bicycle Association, and D. Lees, E. Fox, D. Mcars, J. Dyson and John Gib bous of Philadelphia. Gideon won in two straight heats—time 3:39 aud 3:41. lie was awarded first prize, a pt°ce nt silver plate of iris own selection, valued at $20, «Idle the second and third prizes, valued at $15 and $10 respectively, were awarded to Fox and Lees. Tbe unfinished 2:25 race ot yesterday was next taken up aud ended by Dora winning two straight heals. The sum mary was as follows : Chan. 8. Cox, Phila., b. m. Dora, 1 1 John H. Phillips, Phila, c. m. Belle Oakley, John E. Turner, Phila., ch. g. Phil. Dougherty, Wm. H. Dohle, Phila., b. g. Nigger Baby, Time, 2:28$ aud 2:28{. In the 2:45 race, also postponed from yesterday, there were five starters, and the race was finished in three straight heats, all of which were very prettily contested. Tbe score stood : Win. A. Twilley, Cambridge, Md., b. m. Little Annie, John D. Purdue, Salisbury, Md., g. m. Clara Morgan, M. Gooden, Montgomery Co., Pa., b. g. Chester, Robt. Stee'e, Phila., b. m. Blanche Medium, R. P. Stetson, Phila., b. g. T. F., Time, 2:36$, 2:30, 2:38$ The minnie rabbit chase was a bur lesque, pure aud simple. Tbe trail was made by dragging a singed rabbit skin around the track, but the hounds, as soon as they were released, at once took to the pole and dashed around the track in Indian file, never once going within twenty feet ot the trail. It looked like a racing contest between dogs, but the absurdity of the affair amused the spec tators, and proved more enjoyable than if it had resulted as was originally in tended. The minnie fox chase resulted in the same manner, all the dogs taking to the »ole as soon as they were released, and lashing for dear life around the track, oi utter disregard of the trail that had beeu made by dragging a singed fox tall. However, the spectators enjoyed the be sight immensely and that was all that could be asked for. 2 2 3 4 4 8 dis 4 4 4 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 3 1 THE CLOSING RACKS. Tbe three atiernoon races were quickly contested, there being but three entries ii each, and each being settled In three straight beats. These races were very spirited, and through the highest class did not develop as good time, compara ively, as did the other two, all proved exciting and intarestiug. The success if Tom Bayard lu the 2:28 class was oeculiarly gratifying, and tbe handsome hay was greeted with encouraging ap plause at tha end of each beat. Alex. Gillespie drove him wall, and kept him veil down to Ida work, without a lin de "skip" in the whole three heats. His movements are quick and graceful and te gives promise of still greater triumphs m tbe track in the future. A summary of the afternoon races is asjlollows: 3:00 class—purse, $300, divided: John D.

So promptly vers the trots started that all were ended by 4.30 o'clock, and .he immense audience at once scattered, many of them flying towards Dover iu die numerous hacks, amid blinding clouds of dust.

Tbe privilege it had of exclusively printing ■lie racing programme, however, forced its sale to a large ex ent. Ou account of tbe imperfect manner in wbicb some ot the drivers' colora were printed in tbe Fair Record, many people were unable to distinguish tbe respective horses In tbe race^. Thete oue man, however, wbo knew every horse entered, by sight, and wbo courte ously imported his mostdes table Knowl edge to all who inquired of him.

A noticeable feature of tbe fair was the expression of political sentiment the part of the ladies. Advertisements bearing the portraits of the Presidential candidates were in circulation, and the ladies boldly pinned ibem upou their b-easts aud wore them during tbe fair.— The Hancock pictures thus displayed outnumbered tboae of Garfield ten to years old. one. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. About 5 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, as a little son of Samuel McDaniel, whose parents reside everEleventh street, bridge, was encaged in tending cows he met with a very serious accident from which he will probably not recover. A Shifting engine was engaged In Shifting some freight, and the little fellow thinking he could get a short ride, got on behind, when by some uh f irtunate means, his hold slipped and he fell beneath the wheels of the car. Tbe wheels passed over bath legs ol the little fellow mangling them in a terrible manner. A neighbor wbo was standing near by, saw the accident ran to the boy, and carried him home. Dra. Bullock, Draper and Springer were summoned, and after an examination they decided that ampu tation was necessary. They accordingly amputated the legs, about two inciies above the knees. I he little fellow was still living tliis morning, but there is very little hope of his recovery. He is only nine years of age. A BAD ARRANGEMENT. Tickets are sold over the Wilmington & Northern Railroad, to points on tbe Baltimore Central, but it frequently hap pens that the trains make no connec tion. We know of a number cases of recent occurrence where persons buying tickets in Wilmington for tbe evening train on the W. & N., have found the Baltimore Central train gone when they reached Chadd'a Ford, and in several instances they have been obliged to re main at the Ford all night. Where the traveller is a stranger and a woman with children, the case is one of extreme uüpleaaauiues8 . —Kennett Advance. Election or Officers. At s regular slated meeting of Hope Council No. 2, J.

Tbe Pbilapclphla Times of yesterday published a long acoouut about seven teen negroes having left this city oo the ti.07 p. m. train Thursday, for Indiana.— The article also oonamed ary interview with one of the party. The whole tbiug now turns out to be a hoax, and tbe article fertile brain of the reporter who wrote An inquiry among the P. W. & B. R. R. officials at the depot, in this city, re vealed the fact that no tickets had been sold to negroes for any point west. The inquiry, however, fact that, on Thursday, the Bellevue quarry ceased operations, and the negroes who were working for them were transferred to a quarry own ed by tbe company in Pennsylvani i, along the line or ihe Pennsylvania rail road. This was the cause of so many negroes being on tbe train at once. It tbe alledged iuterviaw did take place, the cotored men, in the vernacular ot the day gave the reporter "taffy," in re gard to being paid to go to Indiana.

If a stranger should deitire to see gton, he casion of all the citizens of Wiltnii 'should visit here on the or a firemen's parade. It was proven last evening on tbe occasion of the parade in honor of the Reliance Fire Company of Bethlehem, that our citizeus take a great interest in the firemen. This as it should be, for there is not a better department in the country than the ofie in this city, and when the members thereof see so many people upon the side walks on an occasion of a parade, they feel encouraged to nobler deeds, and resolve within themselves to perform their duties withia self-sac lifice that will be worthy of emula tion. It was known to every resident of Wilmington for some time past, that a firemen's parade was to take place last evoning, and accordingly, work men hurried home from their day's labor, in order that they might be ready to witness the demonstration. The ladies were not long in finish ing their household duties, so they might not miss seeing our fire boys demonstration. Long before the hour announced for the line lo move, and even be fore the companies bad taken up their positions in line, from every quarter of the city, and before 7.30 o'clock, Fourth street, where the line formed Was packed to such an extent that a person who was obliged to pass along it, did so with great difficulty. Fortunately every one was in a good humor, and did not mind the jostling, and even those who had their corns tramped upon, murmured uot. The first to take their p line was the Reliance and their visi tors. The Delaware followed, and then came the Friendship,and short ly afterwards the Reliance. The line moved about 8:15 o'clock in llie following order : Chief Marshal, James Meacham. Chief Engineer Tazewell, two assist anls and Chief Engineer Rice of Bethlehem. Upland Cornet Band, 16 pieces. Friendship Fire Company, 56 equip ped men, Marshal, George W. McCracken ; Assistants, Jas. McLear and W. C. Lei brandt, Jr. Hose carriage drawn by two horses. Engine drawn by four horses. Metropolitan Band, 18 pieces. Delaware Fire Company, 80 strong. Marshal, John McCoy. Hose cairiage drawn by two horses. Engine drawn by four horses. Americus Band, of Philadelphia, 28 pieces. Reliance Fire Company, 75 strong. Marshal J. F. Duffy ; Assistant, Harry Filer. Hose carriage drawn by two horses. Engine drawn by four horses. Barouche, in which wer« sealed Chief Burgéüs Anstalt, of Bethlehem ; Harry 81iarpley and Harry Penibgton, Esqs.,aud W. B. Norton. Bethlehem Cornet Baud, 29 pieces. Reliance Fire Company of Bethlehem, 20 strong. Marshal, George Rice. Hose carriage handsomely trimmed. City Cornet Baud. Phoenix Fire Company, 65 strong. Hose carriage drawn by two horses. The line moved over the following route : The line formed on Fourth street, right resting on French, countermarch ed to Lombard street, un Lombard to Fifth, to Walnut, to Sixfth, to Frenoh, to Front, to Market, to Fifteenth, to rCing, to Tenth, to West, to Fifth, to Washington, to Fourth, to Jackson, to Front, to Tat nail, to Second, to Shipley, to Seventh, to French, to Fourth aud there dismissed. As ihe line passed along the route it was greeted with a display of fireworks and red fire. There wefe a number of handsome decorations and illumina tions. Every engine hquse was deco rated with various colored Chinese lau terus and fiags of all nations. In front of the Reliance house was erected a handsome arch, from the centre of which hung suspended a heai t and a picture of Washington. The company also made a profuse dis play of fireworks under tbe direction of Auton Henze. As the line passed the Water Witch Eugitie House the engine run out, and having gotten up steam, was set in motion, aud tbe whistle blowu continually while the liue passed. The parade was a success in every particular, and not a disturbance occuired lo mar the pleasure of the par ticipants. It was very orderly, and our citizens may well feel proud of the fire laddies. osition in t a was THE banquet. At tlie close ol ibe parada the visitors were escorted to the Clayton House, where they partook of a grand banquet. The following was tbe menu: Fried oysters. Roasts —Beef aud chicken. Cold dishes—Beef, bam and tongue. Relishes—Chow chow, pickles, catsup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce. Vegetables—Mashed potatoes, stewed tomatoes, escalloped corn. Dessert— apples, oranges, pound cake, sponge cake, mixed cake, vanilla ice cream, coffee. Oil the tables were several pyramid pound cakes decorated with small flags, and surmounted with fire horns and harps. After justice had been done to the viands, W. B. Norton, toast master, an nounced the following toasts: To our visiting company, the Re liance, No. 3, ol Bethlehem, Pa. Re sponded to by Chief Engineer Rice, in a few appropriate remarks, in which he thanked the home company for the kind ness that had beeu shown bis company. He concluded by calling upon Mr. Anstatt, Chief Burgess of Bethlehem, who happily responded, during which he | sa id: «Our boys, or I might say my bo vs not because l own them, but be l gm 0 „ e of them, can never thank the people of your beautiful city for the reception that had been tendered them, it was said during the afternoon that Delaware was dependent upon Pennsylvania for her warmth in winter. That might be so, but there is no warmth compared to that of a fellow man. During my short stay here it has occurred to me what eminent men Delaware has produced. It has pro duced a John M. Clayton, who was a friend of mine. I also can call to mind another, who was also a friend oi mine, but who recently departed this life. I refer to the Hon. James A. Bayard. I also knew another,of whom you may all fell proud. I refer to tbe Hon. Qeorge Head Kiddle. Tou have also another,who stands second to none In tbe hearts of tbe people of this country Hon. Thomas F. Bayard. Tou have also had your Rodneys'Heads, who were also signers of the Declaration of Independence. Boys of Bethlehem, you can never repay the warmth that has been extended to you to-day. To you of Wilmington we extend an invitation to visit tbe beautiful hills upon which Bethlehem Is situated, and we will give you a fitting reception. I wi.l close by saying: The city of Wil mington, may sne never grow dim and her hospitalities never lag. "To the Fire Department ot Wilming ton." Responded to in a fitting manner by Chief Engineer Tazewell. The Fire Committee of Council, response by Councilmam W. H. Blake. Tire city of Wilmington, responded to in a humorous manner by Harry Sharp ley, Esq. During his remarks he said Wilmington was a great city. It bas bills b.ck of it, and a great river in front, and the people were engaged in tearing down all obstacles in order to reach the river. "To the Cadies" response by Harry R. I'enington, Esq- In closing bis remarks, he said: Long live tbe holy and sancti fied presence of woman. "The Press."—Response by H. C. Conrad, Esq., of .he Hews. Letters of regret were read from Hon. T. F. Bayard, Hon. E. L. Martin, W. Q. Wbiteley, Esq., and Richard K. Jones. At tbe close, Harry Sbarpley, Esq', on behalf of Mrs. Mary Gallagher, present ed a handsome bouquet to Chief Burgess Anstalt. At 8 o'clock the exercises closed, and those present sought their beds, in order lo obtain about forty winks oi sleep, be fore dawn. This morning tbe visitors are being shown around the city. They will leave for home at 1 o'clock no doubt pleased with their visit. Local Politic». A new club to be known as tbe "Far mers Hancock and English Club of Brandywine Hundred," has been or ganized. The various Democratic clubs of the city will go to Newport this evening, to attend a grand mass meeting. The members of the clubs are requested to report at their headquarters before 7 o'clock.

Tbe Republicans of tbe Eighth ward will meet this ovening at tbe headquar ters of the Hastings Guards. Every Democratic voter should see to it that he deposits bis ballot at tbe "Little Election" on Tuesday next. Why a Woman Can'S Shoot Btrsght A tramp gave a woman living in the suburbs ot Galvaston, some impudence. So she rush' d in and came out again with a shot cun. She did not see the tramp at first, but he rushed out into the street aud into plain view, and told lier to shoot, which she did, aud missed him, of course. He went up the street smiling, and remarked to his confeder ate : "That was a close call. If she had fired without seeing where I was, she would have plugged me certain, but as soon as she drawed down on me I felt that my time hadn't come yet. I've been there five times before." It is impossible for a woman to fire off a gnu without shutting her eyes and turning her head away. Advice to Consumptive». No man, however uncleanly, would drink muddy, dirty water. A party who occupies a room for hours, breath lug the same air might be compared to a party of bathers drinking Un* water in which they bathe- The patient mast keep tbe window of his bed loomopeo. Night air is fresh air without daylight. In close, crowded rooms, the patient goffering from lung complaints breathes consumptively. By taking these pre cautions and using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purga tive Pellets, fully one-half of the cases of lung complaints would be cured in six months. For cough and irritation of tbe lungs do not always indicate the presence of consnmption, although It may result in that disease, and if con siimp'lon has already become deeply sealed in the system, this is tbe most effi cient course ot treatment that can be pursued outside of any institution that provides special facilities for the treat ment of this disease. Dr. Pierce's cele brated Invalid's Hotel is suoh an institu tion.
