Tb« Funeral Services of Ueoric® W.
Powell— Tbe Body Vlewel by a
Vast namber of People-Tbe FI
nal Ceremonies.
The funeral services of George W.
I'owell, the lamented victim of that dire
disease, hydrophobia, were performed
yesterday afternoon. The deceased was
lad in a neat black suit, with white
waistcoat. The discolored portions of
his face and olenched hands reminded
one of the great suffering whioh he en
dured, He was placed in a mahogany
casket having six large handles and
silver-plated fastenings. A number of
flowers were placed around him.
The deceased was viewed between
the hours of eleven in the morning and
awhile after three o'clock in the afler
At the first named hour some
noon.
three or four hundred school children
called to see him, and from that time
enward till fthe time of the services, a
continuous stream of humanity poured
* through the dwelling, enteriug a front
door and passing through the house
and making their exit by a door in the
rear of the residence.
After a short prayer by Rev. Geo. R.
Kramer, a choir consisting of eleven
ladles and gentlemen sang;
(lo to thy rest In peace,
Anil eolt he thy ropone ;
Thy tuila are o'er, thy troubles cea6o,
From earthly cares, in aweet release,
Thine eyelids gently close,
From earthly cares, in sweet rolease,
Thine eyelids gently close;
Oontly close.
TUB PINAL FAREWELL
with the deceased was a very sad one,
and while his aged mother was proceed
ing to take a look at him, she was so
overcome that her feelings forbade her
to do so, and she was compelled to be
seated.
Owing to the large number of people
who were unable to get in tbe lioine,
[ the funeral service proper was held at
the grave, in the Old Swedes' cemetery
As the relatives entered the carriages
the choir sang;
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep!
From which none over wake to weep :
A calm and undisturbedJrepose,
Unbroken by the last ol loes.
The following gentlemen acted as
pall bearers: Messrs. Garey, O'Neil,
. Robbins, Miller, Bradford aud Fergu
son. Upon arriving at the cemetery
| the concourse was greatly augmented,
t thousands of people being present.
Rev. George R. Kramer offered a
prayer, and was followed by the choir
I singing:
Peacefully lav him down to rest,
\ Place the turl kindly on his breast:
Sweet is tbe slumbor beneath the sod,
While the pure soul is sleeping with (iod.
Mr. Kramer read the fifteenth cliap
ter of first Corinthians,seventeenth and
fifty-eighth verses inclusive. He chose
, as his text the words found in St Johh
11:23:—"Jesus saith unto her, thy
brother shall rise again."
He spoke of this text as containing
three thoughts: First—Soriptual prom
ise of the doctrine of eternal life.—
Second—Scriptual illustration of the
doctrine of eternal life by the resurrec
tion of Jesus Christ. Third—Realiza
tion of the doctrine of eternal life by
our resurrection at the coming of Jesus
Christ.
As we look at the deceased and see
him iu death,Christ unfolds the banner
of immortality aud says "Thy brother
shall rise again." The old and new
testaments each teach the doctrine of
the resurrection of tbe dead. The He
brew patriarch Job, as he looked down
in the dust, said "I know that my Re
deemer liveth, and that lie shall stand
at th6 latter day upou the earth: aud
though after my skin worms destroy
this body, yet iu my flesh shall I see
God." The psalmist says:—"God
shall redeem my soul from the power
of the grave." "I shall be satisfied
when I awake with thy likeness." Is
aiah says*—"Thy dead men shall live.'
Did philosophy ever give such an utter
ance ?
Daniel says: Many of them that
sleep in the dust of the earth shall
awake, lome to everlasting life, and
some to everlasting shame aud con
tempt." Hosea says:
will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be
thy destruction." These ancient
worthies were looking for the Messiah
to come.
When Jesus came to the grave of
Lazarus to comfort Mary and Martha,
and said "Thy brother shall rise
again," tbe idea of the resurrection
was not something new to them.
Martha said unto Him, "I know that
lie shall rise again in the resurrection
at the last day." Jesus said unto her,
"I am the resurrection and the life ;
he that believeth iu Me, though he
•e dead, yet he shall live : aud
whosoever liveth and believeth iu Me
shall never die. Christ's promise to
His people is : "Whosoever eateth
my flesh anti drinketh my blood, hath
eternal life aud I will raise him up at
the last day."
As a practical illustration of the doc
triue of eternal life, we have the resur
rection of Jesus Christ. In Him the
Hebrew promise is fulfilled: "Thou
wilt not let my soul stay iu hell, nor my
soul see corruption." Upon the thl*** 1
day the angel sees him rising* " M
Christ be not risen, ye are yet in your
sins " But ho is risen 1 Peter bases
everything on Christ* resurrection:
"Blessed be the God and father of our
Lora Jesus Chris* whieh according to
his abundant **® rc y has begotten us
again unto a lVel y ho P® b J the resur
rection of Christ from the dead,
to an inh vltance ^corruptible and un
defiled.^^ tb at fadeth not away, re
serve* * n heaven tor you, who are kept
1 - 7 power of God through faith unto
salvation ready to be revealed iu the
laet time."
The Gospel bases our future life
h'at Jesus has risen from the grave,
'He dieth no more." Death hath uo
dominion over Him. "I am He that
liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am
alive for evermore. Amen; and have
the keys of hell and of death." Jesus
oalled twelve disciples, one fell and
haul of Tarsus was called to succeed
him; and although he was raised among
the heathen, he boldly taught the idea
of the resurrection, although coming in
contact with the Uelenistlo or Grecian
Jews, he held himself aloof from their
influence, and being a Hebrew of the

When be saw Christ as the Hebrew
Messiah he bowed, and said, "When

epistles to the t.orinthians aud tl.e
Thesdaloniaus, we may term him as the
preaoher of preachers, the peaoher o
the resurrection. He held himself aloof
rom the Platon c idea of flying off to
heaven at death, and also the hp.cn

th e cause he was chained.

the desolation ot death we hear this f

When asked "Can you trust Christ?"
with the broad brogue of the English,
with the manly tone of the British, he
answered "I . an, indeed." Previous
to his death he was asked "If the of

through any fear or cowardice on my
part only lam a believer in the quota
tion that "kind words turnelh away
wrath."
It is also true the character of some
of the men who live in this community
who are in the habit of imbibing freely
and at times lose control of themselves
and are not altogether accountable for
their actions, I will not say that Mr.
Gregg never does indulge in any such
excesses of the class above referred to,
for fear I should do him an injustice.—
1t was thought by some of my friends
advisable for myself, knowing my non
combative spirit to have a man to do
my fighting, and I had such a one en-
gaged for a number of years and only
had one occasion to use him once dur-
ing his whole time of service and then
he was not on hand, that occasion was
at a meeting of the Democratic
Association of White Clay Creek Hun-
dred.Being a member of the latter caus-
ed my being present when au effort
was made to turn it.into a Greeley meet-
ing. The chairman so far forgot the
dignity of his exalted position as to
come down from his seat with clenched
fist, with the intention of spoiling my
profile,
He accused me at the time, the same
as Mr. Gregg has in his letter, of uiak
ing absurd assertions. He said "I
called him a liar." To which 1 obiect
ed, saying I was willing to leave it to
two of his personal and political
(Greeley men) friends, aud if they de
cided that I had used such language
that 1 would then and there make a
public apology, but as the friends re
terred to decided in my favor, he again
took the exalted position as Chairman
of the Greeley meeting. This gentle
mau you must know was au honorable
mau for the intelligentand independent
voters of New Castle county ele
vated him to the position of State Sen
ator. 1 have only introduced this cir
cumstance to prove my now com balive
qualities.
Mr. G. says ; "Now that his revenge-
ful wrath is upou the dogs he is coming
nearer his equals." The fact cannot
be denied that by setter and shepherd
dogs there is much intelligence display
ed but in the class with which Mr. G.
associates there is none, and if a trio
were made up of the fox hound, the
mule anil Mr. G. it would be difficult
to tell which was the superior. Mr. G.
is not truthful in regard to President
Purnell's dog. I said in my note to
him "he must kill it" and saw him in
a few days afterward and he said he
would send it to Snow Hill, Md., to his
brother. 1 here reiterate what was said
iu my previous article. Have farmers
any protection for their sheep from
dogs. Mr. G'e. ignorance is lieie again
shown.
The question asked is not can a far-
mer get paid lor his sheep, but how cau
the farmer ho protected from the very
class of dogs which are such close friends
and companions of Mr. G., the fox
hound running among his sheep, friglit
eniug, wounding and sometimes killing
them ? As an example let me give the
practices of Mr. G. aud his dozen oo
operators who have joined by snbscrib
ing to his fund to make my son pay the
damages for as he (Gregg) says, slioot
ing his dog. This identical dog of
Gregg's, a neighbor of mine, told me
was among his sheep one moonlight
night when he got up out of his bed
aud shot at it.
Mr. G. and his co-operators not only
want to make my son pay damages, but
in their nightly prowls under the pre
text of hunting foxes with their dogs,
when satisfied with either their profit
or pleasure, leave their dogs to do what
damage they please by running over our
farms and running their sheep while
their owners are at home in bed. Will he
deny that on many occasions tiiey have
gone home and left their dogs to follow
at pleasure. Robert Taylor, a farmer
of Mill Creek Hundred told me that a
hound dog belonging to some gang
of night prowlers under the guise of
fox hunters, came over to his place in
broad daylight and run his sheep right
up to within 100 feet of his house and
attacked them there when its owner fol
lowed it and took it away.
In another occasion this gang of night
prowlers fox hunting with their dogs,
did kill one of Mr. T.'s sheep; the per
sons accompanying the dogs must have

it was killed was found by the blood

of Mr. G. which had come to destroy
the stock, yet showed the rascality of
the persons engaged in the transaction.
Now the protection the farmers want
is as much against the owners as
against the dogs for as I have shown
the acts of the owners are more con
temtible than that of the dogs.
Will Mr. G. please state a single case
of improvement to the town, roads,
streets or any other kind of improve
ment that will be a benefit to it either
public or private or for charitable pur
poses,when by serviceand parse I have

I will go to work to agitato the repeal

please state a case of opposition on my
part to any just proceedings of the road
commissioners or theLevy Court commis
sioners, only where I have shown up
what appeared to me to be either a
waste of the people's money or a lack of
intelligence on the part of some public
official, and as they are the servants of
the people, their acts are worthy objects
of public criticism. To show that I am
not entirely without cause for my oppo
sition, I will say daring last winter
something got wrong with my sheep and
several large, fat, healthy looking ones,
not the half starved ones (referred to
by Mr. G.) died very suddenly without
any apparent cause; when a friend said
to me, "Mr. Dean you had better give
some attention to your sheep as I over
heard some persons talking about poi
soned corn aud sheep."
So Messrs. Editors you see some of
the difficulties which the farmers have
to enoouuter in the lawful prosecution
of their business. What I want is
that all sides shall be heard and I will
quietly settle down to abide the laws
made by our people. I claim to he law
abiding and when I violate the law am
willing when it is proved, that I have
done so, to pay the penalty for so doing.
Mr. G. talks about there not being twen
ty sheep killed in a long time. One of
his neighbors had 22 killed or so badly
wounded that he was awarded the full
value of them and this man was Mr.
G.'a nearest farmer neighbor not liv
ing 200 yards from him.
Respectfully, Wm. Dean.
Why Let the WorthleHH C'urH Go
"Unmuzzled."
For the Republican.
Messrs Editors: —Now that we have
lost another good citizen in the person
of Mr. George W. l'owell, "and the dog
question being agitated,"
simply give a few of my own ideas of
what ought to be done." I notice one of
your correspondents proposes "exter
mination," but that I cjnsiderj["i8 o
ing a little too far." But 1 would sug
gest that our City Council pass an
ordinance compelling "all citizens"
who think they must have dogs "to
keep them muzzled," at least while
running at large;" and also make it
obligatory for the police officers "to
shoot down every dog caught on the
street without the muzzle," whether
he wears the strap aud "medal" or
not. This law works well in Baltimore
"and other cities" and why would it
not work here? For my part I could
never see the necessity of dogs in a city
at all, but since there are those who
think they cannot get along without
the "purp," let us compel them to
keep him_ Muzzled.

REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
Ohio 30,000 Republican Ma
jority—Iowa Answer* With 93.
000 on the Name Side—A Solid
North and] -a Republican Presi
dent Assured.
The elections held yesterday in the
great State of Ohio and Iowa resulted
in overwhelming Republican victories,
and the complete rout of the Democra
cy. In Ohio, the Hon Charles Foster
and the entire Republican State ticket
have a majority, which is estimated at
from 25,0(il) to 30,000 ; and the indica
tions are, from the returns thus far re
ceived, that the Legislature will con
tain a working Republican majority in
both branches, thus assuring the elec
tion of a Republican United States Sena
tor in place of Mr. Thurman.
Democracy lost heavily in all parts of
the State, and the Republican gains
were in about the same proportion.
The following are the despatches
from Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleve
land announcing ti e result:
Columbus, 0., October 15.—The
weather to-day throughout the State
was very fine, and the indications are
that the heaviest vote ever known in
the State has been polled. At this
hour, 1.20 A. M., the Republicans
claim the Legislature upon the report
of 4,000 Republican majority in Cincin
nati and Hamilton couuty. The Dem
ocrats do not concede this. Four hon
ored and forty precincts, wards and
townships give a net Republican gain
of G.G28 over the vote for Secretary of
State in 1878.
Columbus, Oct. 14—10 P. M.-Returns
from 160 precincts collected and report
ed by managers of the Western Union
Telegraph Company offices throughout
the State show a net gain of 2,730 for
Foster for Governor over the vote for
Secretary of the State in 1878. This
indicates a Republican victory in the
State from 25,000 to 30,000.
Cleveland, Oct. 14—Midnight.—
Sixteen wards in the city of Cleveland
give Foster 3,961 majority. The city
and couuty give Foster about 5,500
majority. The Republicans probably
elect their entire county and Legisla
tive ticket.
Cincinnati, October 14—Midnight.—
The vote cast in this city and couuty
was probably the largest in its history.
Returns are coming in very slowly, not
one-fiith of the vote yet being known.
If the reported gains continue the Re
publican majority in the county will be
about 3,000.
The name of Williams, the colored
candidate for the Legislature on the
Republican ticket, has been quite ex
tensively scratched but it is not un
likely that the whole Republican ticket
will be elected by majorities ranging
from 1,000 to 3,000. The constitution
al amendments were lost sight of en
entirely.
Cincinnati, October 14.—The "Com
mercial" and "Gazette" put Foster's
majority at 25,000 to 30,000. The "En
quirer" concedes a small majority, but
claims the Legislature for Democrats.
Columbus, October 15—1.40 A. M.—
At this hour we have returns of the
vote for Governor from over one-fourih
of the State, which show Republican
gains of 7,500, and indicate a Republi
can majority in the State of not less
than 25,000.

Columbus, October 15—2.15 A. M.—
The Democratic State Committee con
cede the election of Foster, but claim
the Legislature. The Chairman of the
Republican Committee claims the elec
tion of 23 out of 35 Senators, and 70 out
of 114 Representatives.
In Hamiltion Couuty, which was re
garded as the scene of the Legislative
fight, every inch of ground was stub
bornly contested by them. The Police,
under Democratic instructions, behaved
disgracefully. Sixty or 80 Republi
cans were arrested during the day upon
frivolous pretexts, while Democratic
repeaters were treated with much con
sideration. When the polls were
closed, attempts were made in many
precincts to throw out authorized rep
resentatives of the Republicans, and fix
the returns to suit Democratic necessi
ties.
The indications, however, at mid
night, are that the Republicans have
carried their entire ticket, except, per
haps, the colored candidate for Repre
sentative, who. on account of his char
acter, was not fully supported by the
Republican press.
At midnight the streets of Cincinnati
were thronged with people, cheering as
the returns are announced by illumin
ated bulletins. No such interest in a
State election has been manifested for
years.. The change of 50,000 votes in
two years is thought to be sufficient
cause for Republican rejoicing.
THE NEWS FROM IOWA.
Deb Moines, Oct. 14—11.30 P. M.. at
this hour returns received by the Re
publican State Committee, and by the
"State Register" indicate a Republican
majority on the State ticket over both
Democratic and Greenback tickets of at
least 20.0C0. Mr. Runnels, Chairman
of the Republican State Committee, es
timates that it will be 25,000. This
will be a gain of 27,000 over two years

Election returns from Iowa generally
come in slowly, and it is sometimes two
days before the vote of even half of the
of
State can be given. This year there
are four tiokets iu the field, whioh,
with the reported "scratching," will
account, in part, for the meagre re
turns received last night.
NEWAKK (N. J.,) MUNICIPAL ELECT10X.
Tbe city election in Newark, N. J.,
yesterday, resulted in the election of
Fidler, Democrat, for Mayor, by 3367
majority. The Germans, heretofore,
Republican, voted for Fidler, the main
issue being a liberal construction of tbe
Sunday laws. The Republicans will
have six majority in the Common Coun
oil.
At Harlan's Works -New Bandings
Business is so pushing at the yards
of tbe II. & H. Co., that it has been
found necessary to erect accessions to
their already extensive establishment.
Workmen are engaged in laying the
foundation of two large buildings, boil
er and machine shops. The former will
be 90 ft. 8 inches by 183 ft. 1 inch, and
one story high, partly brick and partly
frame. The latter will be 126 feet long,
70 feet wide and 20 feet high. These
structures will be finished by Christ
mas. The firm has just completed ad
ditions to their car establishment to
gether with the erection of other com
modious buildings. These improve
ments have been made necessary be
cause of a demand for facilities which
the healthy condition of their business
has naturally created.
In the yard the full complement of
workmen are employed. The iron fer
ry boat for the Ohio company is being
pushed rapidly forward as is also the
other contract work. The "San Salva
dor," from Havana, came in yesterday
for repairs. The outlook for the winter
is promising. Beyond this uo large
contfacts are in prospect, and owing to
the rise in the price of iron there may
not be any for a month or so to come.—
Since the material for the ferry boat has
been contracted for iron has suddenly
risen. This may keep corporations from
building, and under the allurement
that material will get cheaper, deter
action at the same time entailing aeon
sequent cessation of labor in our midst.
In the car shops work is also brisk.
The company shipped south yesterday
afternoon » handsome Woodruff sleep
ing coach of the Lucus patent.
A Case Lanic Braawai Oat
A case was decided before Esquire
Brady yesterday, by referee, whioh has
been standing since June 15, last. It
was a case in which Charles Williams,
col., brought action against Lawrence
J. Riguey for forcible entry and de
tainer. Williams purchased a lot of
ground in 1874, from the old Webb
property, on Hawley street, near Sec
ond, whioh was surveyed at the time
by Daniel Farra. In 1878 Mr. Rigney
purchased a lot adjoining Williams'
property, and in building Mr, R. ran a
few feet on Williams' line. Williams
thereupon brought suit, and after seve
ral delays the case was decided yester
day, tlie referees rendering a decision
that there was uo cause for action, but
gave judgment against defendant for
costs, which amounted to about $30, or
four times the value of the ground in
controversy.
Literary Entertainment.
Last evening the Y. P. A. of the Olivet
Presbyterian church, held a literary
entertainment in the school room of the
church. The attendance was very
large. The exercises were opened bv a
short address from the pastor Rev. Mr.
Mallery, followed by tbe literary exer
cises in regular order. These coasis'ed
of dialogues, declamations and singing
most excellently rendered. The pro
ceeds will go towards fitting up of a new
Sunday school room. Tbe entertain
ment will be repeated at au early date.

rick, £aq.
For its size Wilmington can boast of
as rnaDy beautiful residences as anycity
in the Union, and among them that of
John Merrick, Esq., No. 1103 Market
street will compare favorably witli the
finest appointed in our city's limits.
We had the pleasure of inspecting the
spacious grounds surrounding this
residence recently, having for our
guide Mr. J. D. Evans, Mr. Merrick's
gardener, to whose artistic taste the
grounds owe much of their beauty.
Passing through the massive bronze
gates on Market street the visitor is at
once surrounded by flowers of the rich
est hue and rarest beauty, in their
midst on each side of the grand entrance
stand two handsome brown stone pil
lars surmounted by large bronze lamps,
and again on each side of the lamps is
a beautiful fountain. Among the
plants at the front of the house might
be mentioned, some large collediums
one of which stands 6 feet Hi inches in
heightb, with leaves ranging from 3
feet 54 inches in length,to 2 ft. inches
in breadth, besides these Collediums of
greater or less degree we noticed Mexi
can Aloe Cactus, Canna dahlias, Globe
flower, Colia Magenta, SpiriaBostonias,
Spiria Prunfolia, Althea Roseum and
hundred of others. In addition to the
flowers two handsome Kentucky ooffee
trees and a large magnolia ornament
the front; while to the left of the house
a large fig tree now bearing a second
crop for this season forms a pretty or
nament; in the rear of the house stand
several magnificent Norway maples
while further back between the aven
ues are located some forty pear trees,
and a number of cherry, apple and
quince trees. The grounds extend
over the entire double block from Mar
ket to Orange street, and running the
entire leugth on each side of the yard
is an eleven foot wide avenue, forming
a drive of about 1200 feet in length,
bordered on each side by flowers and
shrubbery. At the rear of the yard
are the stables containing some excel
lent roadsters and several handsome
vehicles,
Anti-Bent Agitation In Ireland
Some accounts allege that there were
30,000 persons at the great anti-rent
meeting at Navan, Ireland, on Sunday,
in honor of Mr. CharlesS. Parnell, Home
Rule leader in the House of Commons.
Mr. Parnell was most enthusiastically
received. Scores of triumphal arches
spanned the streets. During Mr. Par
nell's speech there were shouts in favor
of shooting the landlords. Messrs. Sul
livan, O'Conner, Power, and O'Sullivan
also spoke. The last-named speaker
declared that shooting landlords could
do no good in the future, whatever it
might have done in the past.
