Which Cre at«d DLcuaalon Without Any llrlluito Reault—Krvnrd For Jtlotora. Three mein beta ol Council were abtent from the regular weekly meeting last even ing. The reading of the minutes, finished reports were received from committees city officers. 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 city. HIl'l Chief Engineer Melntire reported 40 men employed in the Water Department, the pay roll for the week umounring to $383.24 Street ComtuiftKioucr Zeblcy reported 30 men and 10 teams employed the nay-roll amounting 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 : Wiiehkas, There are a number of poor persons who have been selling produce King street and its intersections with sundry other street« from booths the streets to $104.32. 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 It was lost by a vote There stand streets bles, butter, cheese, sucli other commodit ies there Rl' fc make a mayor stands on the streets. 14 to 0. 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 On motion of Mr. as ordinance : The Talley structed to notify the presidents of the P., W. & B., Delaware Western and Wilming ton and Northern Railroad Companies of the action of Council in ordering the tlon ot safety gates at the Intersection ol the different railroads and certain streets.

The fair of the Water Witch Fire Com pany was well attended last evening. Dur ng the evening the liaudsoine silver service presented to the company by the United boys of Frederick was formally handed over by < ol. 8. A. Macallister, who made an cx cdlent and appropriate speech. Harry Sliarploy received the gift tor the Water Witch iu a neat anil fitting way, making a number of laughable remarks. The silver set was placed on Table II, where it was much admired. It will be, voted for, all the fire companies in the city joining in ihe con test.

Clerk Hickey has commenced the exami nation of Ihe scales and weights used by tlie butchers. He finds some of them very re luctant to all©w the necessary inspection. One dealer, in particular, who had his scales bulianced with a piece of tallow, ob jected to any interference by the law. lie allowed his scales and weights to be in spected, however, and the result was as fol low» : Scales 4 , ..j ounces out of balance, a 20-pound weight 3', a ounces light, a 14 pound weight 3 U ounces light, a 4-pound weight 2 ounces light and a 2-pound weight 1 1 11 » ounces scant.

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. at by a art the of A by of H. 10 î accepted in return for a RESOLUTION'S OF THANKS.

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. Jersey, Delaware 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.

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 tion." "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 price or in demand. The decline is all la tiie materia] used iu making iiessemer steel. If the steel mills of the West shut down more than 10,000 men will be thrown mit «r employment,aud this would have a teudeucy to lower prices for labor; but this would be in the end u benefit." oi MOItE 1'Jtf.TENSIGN TIIAX FACT. "How raucb lioneaty is there in this trouble among steel ui of closing "I think there Is a tcnMou than (bet in it. a movement to affect tariff legislation thia winter and a disposition to force down tbe price of ores. The ore producers have been aud are receiving good prices, more, per haps, than i.s justified hy the prices of Iron and steel products. If we have to reduce the price of iron, t hen ore and labor must suffer iu proportion." "Would the reduction in the price of be a benefit ?" ' It would be a benefit in the end. The Iron men arc now particularly apprehensive. They take the assertions and threats oi closing hy 1 he steel rail men with several grains ot allowance. Goods made or Iron 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 on orders and pm a little Iron iu stock price* have gradually worked back to the rates on June 1. This shows that production ia full and gaining a little on the demand. We don't expect it to go much lower, prob ably a little.
