Reporta favoring iron gutter plate» on
West Eighth street at the intersections of
Shipley in 1 Orange Rtreet* and the placing
of street lumps at Ninth and Franklin aud
Nincteeth and Race street», were adopted.
Mr. Talley, on behalf of the special com
mittee on sewerage stated that the subject
was of such magnitude that he would most
probably ask for a meeting of Council in
Comittee of the Whole to have preliminary
surveys made, etc.
L. II. Quay petitioned to have the sewer
in the rear of his premise«, 813 West Eighth
street, repaired.
City Treasurer Pierce reported a balance
of $87,613.14 iu bunk to the credit ol the

The following, by *YIr. Bailey, was adopted:
Unsolved, That a committee consisting of
one member from each ward be appointed
by the President of Council to distribute
fuel utnong the poor of the city during the
coming winter.
Mr. Baily then presented the following :

persons who have been selling produce

stands, on said
King street and at its intersections with
other street», and on the public sidewalks
of said King street for some time past, and
several of them without any knowledge of
the fact that the laws and ordinances pro
hibiting such booths or stands on the public
streets or sidewalks were to be enforced
have within a few days past bought several
barrels of perishable articles, the cost of
which must be sacrifl *cd or lost if they
compelled to stop selling the same on the
streets or sidewalks immediately,
for« be it
Unsolved, That ail persons selling fruits
and general produce at the corners of King
street and at the intersection with any other
«tree's he permitted to sell such fruits and
produce now on hand up to 10 p. m. Satur
day, November 25, 1881, without being sub
ject to u line. But from and after the
above date all persons will be strictly pro
hibited by the enforcement of the law aud
ordinances from selling fruits, vegetables,
general produce, or any other goods, wares
.'rchandlse from any booth, stall
on the sidewaike or public
>f this city, except vegeta
mcats, fruits and
are rr.foed or pn>
uuced on their own or leased lands who
shull he ullowed to sell the produce of their
own oi leased lands on the streets set apart
for public markets. But in no case shall
any such producer be allowed to back up Ills
or her vehicle to sell therefrom or lu Iront
thereof at the intersection of streets beyond
the building lines of said intersection, that
is to say, that the width of the sidewalk at
ail street crossings shall not be obstructed
by any such vehicle iu any of the sid
ings or streets where public, markets are
held for the purpose of selling or offering
for sale any goods, wares or merchandise
whatsoever. And further that, in the event
that any permit has heretofore been granted
by the City Council for any person to use
any booth, stall or stand on the streets
where such market« are now held, or on the
sidewalks of any street where such markets
arc now held, booth or stands on the streets
di markets are now held, said per
mit, If any such there he, is hereby revoked,
annulled aud made void from and after 10
o'clock p. tu , on .Saturday, November 25,
1882.
Tfco resolution started, as is always the
case when the subject of markets is
broached, a lengthy and animated debate,
which virtually amounted to nothing ex
cept plans for the future.
Mr. Baugh thought the resolution too
sweeping, as it would drive a number of
poor old men, not capacitated for any other
occupation, out of business and throw their
trade into the lniudsof the rich storekeepers.
He thought It. also would be a wrong thing
for the poor people, w ho could buy their
potatoes and other necessaries cheaper In
the street than iu the stores.
Mr. Quinn favored the resolution and de
clared that the ordinance relating to the
matter should he enforced or repealed
altogether. He did not think the city had
any right to allow the sidewalks and streets
to be obstructed. For Ids partit a market
man or a huckster squatted upon his pave
•nt with ids goods he would order him
off, and if he didn't go he would bounce
him in spite of auv privilege counsel might
have granted.
Mr.''Bechcer sceme l to occupy a position
on the fence, and said that the petition lie
had presented last week was only intended
to apply to the peanut venders on Market
street and not to the market people and
hucksters.
Mr. Bailey explained that his resolution
was only intended to give a few »lays of
•to the parties mentioned, whom the
Clerk ol the Market, per motion of the last
Council meeting, had directed to get up and
leave. The resolution was only a repetition
ot the ordinance now existing.
Mr. Pnynter was against the resolution,
although he hardly understood what it all
meant. He was, however, in favor of free
markets until a farmer's market building
was provided.
Mr. Beecher moved to postpone act it
one week, and in tbe meantime 50 copies of
the resolution should be printed, ami a re
quest made to the Mayor to suspend the
operation ot enforcing the ordinance lor the
present.
Mr. Talley, that it was absurd for Council
men to go and make asses of themselves
over the matter. The ordinance was passed
by Council and would have to be enforced
by the Mayor whenever complaints were
made.
Council had at its last meeting instructed
the Mayor to do his duty, and now when the
offenders are being pushed it was wanted to
•quest of the executive to neglect
his sworn duty. The gentleman thought it
all foolishness. If the ordinance was faulty
or obnoxious it should be îepealcd and an
other one passed.
While Mr. Talley was speaking an alarm
of tire was very fortunately sounded, thus
taming down what promised to be a long
ami tiresome discussion. A recess of five
minutes was taken to give the bell a chance.
An irregular and exciting talk ensued dur
ing the recess.
When called to order Mr. Bailey with
drew his resolution.
Mr. Baugh then made a motion to recon
sider the. vote on the motion whieh pre
vailed at the la6t meeting, instructing t ie
to en'oree the ordinance agiin<t

A resolution was presented by Mr.Beecher
instructing the city surveyor to prepare a
survey of tbe city boundaries.
Mr. Hailey said a map had been made
near correct as it was possible to get It.
Mr. Talley thought the Committee on New
Charter would need a correct nmp us the
present description of the bounaries was a
patched up concern.
City Surveyor Conwell said he thought
Mr. Hailey referred to a map issued by a
Philadelphia publisher, which had been con
structed from drawings furnished by the sur
veyor himself. He did not think it would
be dlfftehlt to give a definite description of
the city boundaries. A new servey, how
ever, was needed, but so far as the charter
was concerned the map referred to was
sufficient.
City Solicitor Turner thought a verifica
tion, rectification and squaring up of the
boundary was needed, so that fixed points
for description were settled.
The resolution was adopted.
Ordinances to establish the grade of Scott
street from Loverlng avenue to Wawasett
street, to change and regulate grade of
Seventh street from Logan to Buttonwood,
and lo regulate the grade of Clayton street
from Frout to Beech were given a third
reading and passai.
Mr. Baugh gave Hoffte of his intention to
introduce at the next meeting
repealing the existing ordinance prohibiting
stands on the street«.
Mr. Quinn introduced and had read
ordinance providing lor the appointment of
two special police officers, who shall patrol
Market street between Front and Second
streets and on Frout street between Shipley
and French streets. One officer is to be on
duty at night and the other during the day.
Mr. Miller asked what had become of the
petition usking that Iron plates be placed
over the gutter between the curb and cross
ing at Eighth and Monroe streets, presented
about eight weeks sinee. The place, he
said, was dangerous. The president said he
knew of the gutter and several persons had
fallen there and bruised themselves,
chairman of the Street Committee promised
to look the petition u

A CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA IN
DELAWARE CITY.
OEAZED AND BARKING LIKE A DOG
A Hostler, Bitten Four Yesrit Ago. Seised
With the Malady To-Day—A Pec altar
CSpeclal dispatch to the Gazette. )
Delaware City. Nov. 24. — Mark
Hawkins, a colored man employed as a
hostler at the Robinson House, showed
signs of the hydrophobia this morning.
Word was sent to the policemen that he was
at his home acting iu a very violent manner
and that he refused food and drink.
An officer effected an enterance into his
room, and after some difficulty succeeded iu
removing him to the City Hall. Here lie
was confined and Dr. J. P. Beilville was
summoned to attend him.
On water being offered to him Hawkins
refused to allow It lo touch him, and throw
ing his head aside with a violent movement
barked like a dog. Dr. Belville refuses to
give his decision in regard to the
this time, and says he eanuot positively
state whether the man has the rabies or
not until he has more closely observed the
symptoms and watched the progress of the
disease.
His whole actions are those of a man suf
fering from the hydrophobia. It is reported
that llawkins was bitten by a dog about
four years ago.
OUT VOtt MIXED SCHOOLS.
Tlie Rev. T. G. Stewart Says the Risck
People Want Theui and Says They are
ltlght.
In Bethel A. M. E. Church last, night
Rev. Theophilus G. Stewart, the pastor of
the church and the colored member of the
Republican State Central Committee, de
livered a lecture upon mixed schools. There
was a large attendance of colored people
and a few whites.
The speaker in opening said—that, mixed
schools involves our dearest interest and
strongest claims at the present duy. If
what the Bible teaches us that humanity is
one, there can be no such a thing as mixed
• hool. If what science, philosophy and
reason are to be taken as telling the truth
there can be uo mixed school, for they tell
us that all races aud color arc one mass of
humanity. History says nothing in its
many pages ol mixed schools,but it has only
been of late, and it is simply a shadow of
the coming events. It is meaningless, wheu
we take a broad and sensible view of the
matter. You can place the children
of almost every nation iu the schools, but it
it is no mixed school until one of our
children goes there. It is an attempt
against the colored people hy the commu
nity at large. G ultra u 's children, had he
any, could go to the school without a word
being said, but it is to be u crime against
the Holy Ghost to be a colored man. How
absurd it 1« to say "mixed schools" when
our children enter. What is the character
of the public schools ? It is not under
private management, administered for their
behalf. The schools belong to the
whole body of mankind. We are either in
cluded or are out of it. The schools In this
city are the institutions of the State of
Delaware. If legal residents of the State,
we are also stockholders. I believe in equai
rights aud do not believe in riding aud to
he ridden. There Is such a thing as a
selling his rights in the hour of weakness.
If the common schools are established for
the colored people, without their consent,
take advantage of them and educate your
children—a half loaf Is better than none at
all. If they
trade, they should be inscribed " colored
schools for colored fools." Let the sub
ject be agitated from time to time and
may gain the point, aller a prolonged
battle.

A TALK OF HORSE THIEVES.
Is Colonel Cregar of Montgomery County
In League With a bang Which Has Reon
Operating In Delaware ?
An Important discovery of horse thieves
has just been made in Montgomery county,
Pa., which is likely to attract some atten
tion among the authorities and horse re
ceiving association of this neighhorhood. It
Involves William Cregar of Whitpain town
thlp, who has been a famous counterfeiter
In his time, and who has been ascertained
fo be the harborer aud agent of o regularly
organized band of horse thieves, wnfeh has
been operating In Delaware, Kent ami Cecil
counties of Maryland and adjacent sections.
It will be recalled that on Monday night
Bill Muthart, the famous horse thief came
to Cregar's house with a horse and buggy.
Cregar seized Muthart and a desperate
struggle ensued during which Cregar got
possession of the horse and carriage and
Muthart lied. Cregar took the animal to
the baru of William M. Singprly and when
he returned he found that Muthart had
stolen a horse from him and ridden off. The
horse which Cregar got resembles one
cently stolen from a church at Kennedy
ville, Md., and a number of people doubt
the sincerity of Cregar In trying to arrest
Mutbart.
Now cotncs the strange part of the 6tory
of Cregar'» connection with horse thieves,
which is related in a Philadelphia paper of
to-day as follows :
Within the past few months numerous
cases of horse stealing have occurred in the
Interior of this State, N
and Maryland, and although large rewards
had been offered for the recoverr of the
stolen property the detectives were baffled
In their efforts to discover a clue as to what
disposition had been made of the animals.
Private Detective Charles .L Nichols, whose
specialty 1» the recovery of stolen horses,
discovered that William Cregar, the noted
counterfeiter of by-gone days, who resides
near North Wales, Montgomery county, w
dealing In horses, wagons und carriages—in
fact, supplying his neighbors with property
of that character. It was known that
Cregar «lid nut visit the bazaars, nor
was he* ever seen to drive a
strange team up to his place during
the «lay time, yet he alwajs had a
supply on hand. On Wednesday night De
tective Nichols, accompanied by Constable
James Jim toon. visited the neighborhood of
Crqgar's home and received information
whieh led to the recovery of a horse at the
Nicctown Hotel, whose proprietor, William
L. Athouse, hud purchased the animal from
Cregar. it was ascertained that a firmer
named Dolts also had In his possession a
bay horse which he had bought from Cregar
for $150, or one-half Its value. When ap
proached by the officers Dolts became very
much confused and stammered out the ad
mission that he hod purchased a horse from
the counterfeiter. The detective also re
covered a wagon, valued at $350, which
Cregar sold to Wesley Hooper. Cregar
came before the public as far back os 40
years ago, in the role of counterfeiter, and
has served several terms of imprisonment
for that offence.

KENT COUNTY TEACHERS.
Prof, William»' Lootuvs- Tsaehen Olsen as
Compulsory Education and Othar Sub
ject».
[Special correspondence of the Gazette. ]
Dover, Nov. 23.— The eighth annual in
stitute of Kent county teachers commenced
in this town yesterday afterno .n, Superin
tendent Groves presiding,
teachers were in attendance. J. H. George
was elected permanent secretary, and Miss
Emma Hugh, assistant. Assistant Super
intendent Carpenter delivered the annual
address, in which he urged the necessity of
more praeticu teaching, aud dwelt at length
uoon the responsibilities and duties of
teachers.
Quite a lively discussion then ensued upon
the question of " Compulsory Education,"
which was participated in by Messrs. Ellis
Carroll, Warren, Handy, Ailicc and Roe.
Strong arguments were used pro and con
and the question elicited great interest.
At 7.30 p. in., the evening session was
called to order by superintendent Groves,
and prayer was offered by I>. S. Ells. Miss
Rice of Felton, gave a piano solo, after
whieh Professor T. N. Williams of Wil
iniugton was introduced, lie delivered a
most, forcible and eloquent address uj*>n
the subject of education. The speaker
showed conclusively that he was at home
with his theme. He contended that the
education of the people was the only perm«
went, basis of National and .State prosperity,
and that It behooved the State to do its duty
by providing a liberal system of free schools
forallits children. He reviewed the his
tory of our public school system from its
begiuniug to the present; spoke of the great
improvements that had gradually been made
from year to year, aud he doubted not, from
tbe general interest that was being mani
fested by tbe people on this subject, that in
a short time would be developed for Delà
ware, a system of public schools equal to
that of any Stale in the Nation. He urged
the teachers to endeavor by ail means
possible to elevate the standard of their pro
fessiou; to avail themselves of all oppor
tunities for improvement in the science and
art of teaching, aud lo bo active iu their
efforts to so educate public seutiment as that
the people will be willing to properly reward
their labors and their most honorable voca
tion. The address was highly appre«dated.
This morning the session was called to
order at 9 o'clock by Superintendent Groves,
and after the usual preliminaries the subject
of "Local Institutes," "Supplementary |
Reading" and "Declamation and €omposi
tlou" were discussed by Superintendent
Groves, Professor Williams, Mescrs. Handy,
Carroll, Roc, Warren aud Miss McDowell,
A well written paper on "Supplementary
Reading in Our Public Schools" was mad
by George W. Merrill, whieh received uni
versai commendation. The afternoon ses
siou of to-day was occupied in the discussion
of arithmetic.
Professor Connell of Dove r and Dr. W.

seriously atiect it. The demand for bar
iron, used in cars, eugines and other rail
wav outfit, Is very good at this time. "The
American Iron Works are running full la
all departments ol iron,'' said Mr I.arlmie.
"Prices are a little weak in sympathy with
steel, but we do not appreheud any great
trouble, because we attribute the late de
velopment* In steel entirely to over produc

"Are you not dealing in steel ?"
"We are not largo dealers Iu steel. It Is
somewhat effected In the lower grades. The
finer or crucible steel has uut declined iu

If the steel mills of the West shut down
more than 10,000 men will be thrown mit «r

They take the assertions and threats oi

are now' very low in price. There is not
much room for a reduction. If the price of
Iron Is forced down it will operate to the
detriment of the iron interest. For example,
at the beginning of the strike, June 1, iron
was sold from the store here at $2.40 to
$2.50 rule*. During the continuance of the
strike it advanced to $2.70 und $3.
Since the mills have been able to catch up
