Home Objections to the Plain Now Under
Conalderatiou.
To the Editor of mu Gazette :—
There are some objections to the sewer
system which has been projiosed, that might
well l>c considered at the present time. In
the first place, it would lake the constant
flow of a stream like the Brandywine to
keep the sewers clean, which would add
very much to the demands of the water
tupply. Just when the most, water would
be needed as in warm weather, then our
supply is the lowest.
Then It would be a great waste of valua
ble material. A system of earth closets
might be devised where one box might be
replaced by afresh one at stated Intervals.
The farmers of the surrounding country,
I doubt not, would willingly enter into an
arrangement to exchange the boxes if they
were made portable, and convenient of
access.
Something of this kind already exists in
regard to our stables, where the waste is ex
changed for straw.
I should think it a great mistake to take
the rain water off by means of sewers, for it
i» all needed to keep the streets clean.
Every street should carry its own water,
and to do this they ought to be made slightly
hollowing in the middle. I should be mon*
In favor of placing whatever money there is
to spare on top of the streets and putting
them in complete repair. A parement oi
asphalt and oyster shells would be the best
one for Wilmington. W . F. Quimby.

The Annual gesHion Opens In Dover Yes
terday-Grand Master Rossa'» Report.
The annual session of tbe Delaware State
Grange commenced at Dover yesterday and
was well attended. Master J. J. Rossa read
his address, which was an interesting one.
The report also speaks of the work iu Del
aware
©ucouruging, and says one of tbe
moat important matters it has to deal with
is education. The agricultural advancement
made by the Grange was dwelt upon,« and
needed amendments to laws are mentioned.
The report al»o saya:
"The war of the revolution was cauaed
by taxation without representation, but I
appeal to you if our laws are what they
should be on this subject. It must appear
plain to every unprejudiced person that they
are not. Let the minority be ever so atrong
they arc practically without a voice In the
councils of the State. I care not whether
this is Democracy or Republicanism, I be
lieve it to be right and in the interest of the
whole people, and we should endeavor to
right the wrong at this winter's* seselon of
the Legislature. We ehorkl acquaint our
representatives with ot*i wishes in this
Transportation is auothe-r (subject of great
importance that should be regulated by leg
islation. "Situated as vre are," says the
master, "and wholly dept »dent on one main
line for the transportatioi of our produce,
we are in a favorable posh ion to experience
the full force of the monopolistic theory,
'what the trade will bear.' But how shall
these abuses be remedied, is the question."
In answer to this question the master points
to the benefits that the people of Georgia
have experienced from the work of railroad
commissioners, and says through their ef
forts the people of Georgia have secured fair
treatmeut from the railrcmis that would be
worth thousands of dollrrs
people of Delaware. ï nch grange is re
quested to appoint some ue to wait on the
Senators aud Represent. .Ives lu Congress
und urge upon them the necessity of voting
for the Reagan Inter-state Commerce bill,
and "if they fail to comply," says the mas
ter, "see to it that they do not again offi
cially* darken the portsU of the National
Capitol."
On the subject of immigration the master
says : "It is a universally admitted fact that
those States that arc doing most to induce
immigratiou arc makiug rapid strides to
wards prosperity. There are thousands of

Grange Induce tbe Legislature this coming
session to enact a liberal immigration law ?
Thousands upon thousands of desirable
immigrants are passing our very doors west
ward every year, who, if they could he In
duced to settle here, would prove of great
valuo in developing the resources of our
State. Year after year sees our labor be
coming scarcer and less reliable, and our

wisely encouraged will fully supply the

The organization of a State Weather Ser

that the United States Senators of the State

against the threatened suit against those
engaged iu fruit evaporating. The most
important suggestion made by the master
is that which suggest» the propriety of or
ganizing a fruit exchange. Alter referring
to the present disadvantages in putting
fresh fruit on the market and the fact that
evaporated fruits and canned goods are fast
drilling into the same tide that swept away
cash purchasers from green fruit, the ad
dress goes on :
"If our business were without precedent,
the only one that had lo contend with
like '„conditions, we might bo at a losß for
any solution for our diilieuities ; but for
tunately for us there arc many guides to
direct us, notably the experience of the
Creamery Exchange of New York. It has
succeeded, as I urn informed, in bringiug
purchasers to the doors of the producers at
much more satisfactory profits to both pro
ducer aud dealer than ever obtained under
the coin mission system.
"Notwithstanding the difficulty that must
attend any effort to change the practice of
consigning fruits to distant markets for sale
commission, yet J nm persuaded that if a
committee of this grange could take the
necessary time to diirost the subject of a
fruit exchange they would evolve much light
from our present darkness.
"As aids to their investigations aud re
port 1 have no doubt the enterprising
of Wilmington would co-operate, and it
may be that during the session of our uext
Legislature a charter may be obtained for
a joint stock fruit exchange to be located
at Wilmington, or some other convenient
point, under rules and regulations that will
at least retain a near market for our manipu
lated fruits ami possibly work some benefit
for the trade in uncured fruits.
The remainder of the address is devoted
to a review of the grange work and sug
gestions for extending the order.

GOVERNOR MALL RESPITES
JEREMIAH HARRICAN.
HE GIVES HIM AHOTHER YEAR.
Th« Condemn««! Man Spared From th«
Gallows Until December 14, 1S83--How
th« Newt was Received.
LSpecial dispatch to th« Gazette, j
Doves, Dec. 18.— Governor Hall to-day
decided to respite Jeremiah Harrigan, who
fatally shot Denis Shea, his wife's cousin,
near llockessiu*, on the night of Saturday,
September 19, 1881, until December 14,
1888, thus giving him another year of life.
An order staying the execution until that
time will be promptly forwarded to Sheriff
Martin.
When Governor Hall went home on the
Delaware railroad traia, leaving here at
6.25 o'clock last evening, his manner and
conversation was suck as inspired confi
dence in ihe hearts of the friends of Harri
gan, and the news given in the above
dispatch will not cause great sur
prise. "I have given tbe ease great thought
ful consideration," said His Excellency to
a representative of the Gazette, "and I
shall think ov*r the matter even more care
fully yet before I give my decision. I have
in iny pocket" said he, touching
side-pocket of his overcoat,
great deal of evidence
bearing upon the ease which makes out
even a stronger argument in favor of
showing Harrigan clemency, than I had
thought possible. I shall careTully con
sider these and weigh the words that have
been said to me in his behalf, and will soon
give my decision."
The arguments before the Governor yes
terday were very earnest aud leading citi
zens, without regard to party, pleaded with
him and testified to the great change of
sentiment in favor ol the doomed man

"a
of the revelations con
cerning his domestic relations, which
duly sworn to, were handed him.

HOW TIIE NEWS WAS RECEIVED.
When our reporter Informed a number of
Harrigan 's friends of the favorable action
of the Governor to day they expressed great
satisfaction, and said it was just what they
had expected.
Charles B. Lore, Esq.,'Harrigan 's counsel
said t hat he was greatly pleased, but not at
all surprised at the action of Governor
Hall. lie felt sure that there was ample
ground for such action, and as the matter
had been presented the respite was regarded
as a foregone conclusion.
Martin Farrell, who has been very âfitive
in behalf of Harrigan, said to the reporter :
"The action is just what I expected, and by
doing this the Governor Las met the
views of all right thinking people. I
do uot see how he could have done other
wise, aud had he done differently he cer
tainly would have been universally con
demned. He has been guided by a sense of
duty, and will receive general praise.''

The Thorne-Woltlln Jury Charged—M©
• Caulley vs. Rice.
Benjamin Niclds, Ecq., at the afternoon
session of court yesterday stated the facts of
the Thorne-Weldin case, declared that the
whole matter had turned out to be oath
against oath. The plaintiff, he said, had
declared one thing which the. defendant de
nied. He did not think it at all likely or
reasonable to suppose that Mr. Thome
would do the work he did lor nothing. In
asmuch as the first witnesses contradicted
eacli other the jury should take other testi
mony upon which to base its decision. He
spoke about half au hour aud was followed
bv Harry Emmons, E6q., for the defeusc.
Mr. Emmons spoke brifly, arguing that
Mr. Weldin was under no obligation^ to
Mr. Thorue, who had solicited to be allowed
the opportunity to get up the drawings for
the defendant's house. The plaintiff on the
other hand, however, was under obligations
to the defendant. Thorne's bid for tiie
work
ahead of Weldin.
Mr. Lore followed for the defence, basing
his remarks upon the assertion that the
pluintiff had already been paid for bis work
by the favors showu him by Mr. Weldin,
who had giveu him credit, when a stranger,
without reputation and without capital, had
takeu a note in part payment for a billowed;
and in other ways had done what he could
to aid Thorne. Thorue'6 idea was to get a
name aud a reputation as a contractor by
building a first-class house. Thorne's offer,
Mr. Lore contended, to do the work for
$600, during the winter when work was
slack, was only a plan to get Mr. Wcldiu in
his power, so that when spring came, and
work was pleutiful, ho could ask what he
pleased to complete the dwelling. After
speaking nearly an hour Mr. Lore finished
and Mr. Neilds began his answer and the
closing argument.
He begau by defending his client from the
imputation ol the opposing counsel, that he
"stretched tbe truth" while upon the wit
ness stand, aud then reviewed the testimony
closely, comparing the oath of Thorne with
the affirmation of Weldin.
Mr. Nields spoke for 50 minutes, and at
5.55 court adjourned after the transaction of
6ome minor business.
THE MORNING'S SESSION.
At 10 o'clock this tnoruiug, after the
opening of court, Chief Justice Comegy's
briefly charged the jury iu the Thorne-Wd

W. McCaulley vs.
John V. Rice, trading as Rice & Co., was
then called, a jury being drawn. Authony
Higgins represented the plaintiff and Mr.
Kicc was announced as his own counsel.
After addressing the court, considerable
sensattou was produced by an unusual 6cene
in which Mr. Rice mado a brief address. He
felt it his duty lo explain his anomalous
position of both client and counsel. He re
ferred to tho plaintiff
geuerous, etc., and possessing the love of
money equal to that of a Shy lock. After
speaking iu a general way, his remarks
being interspersed with quotations from
Shakespeare, lie broke down and paced
quietly up and down the bar seemingly
unable to speak.
Upon being motioned by Mr. Loreto take
a seat Mr. Rice regained his voice and
passionately exclaimed ;
"Tell it not in Browntown aud publish it
not in Hedgeville how have the mighty
fallen."
He then explained that he was aware of
the fact that a man who conducted his own
case had a fool for a client. He had. when
the suit was at first brought, engaged emü *
tient couusel but they had withdiawn.
Turuiug to the jury he trusted that his
apology for delaying them would be re
ceived. He remarked that he was a man
ol probity and lair dealing, and for the first
time In fiiiy years those principles hod been
assailed. "Jf I have said or giveu expres
sion to my feelings, I hope I will not preju

the case as clearly, plainly and succluctly as

earnestly and remarked that "God known I

was in great financial distress from which 1

said he would then call the defendant (him

Mr. Higgins objected as the evidence was
not proper, authorities being cited in the
