DELAWARE CITY LETT KM,
Sla Appropriation Tel—A new Mo
tive Power—Land Purchase.
Special Correspondence ol the Republican.
Deiawkb City, May 3, 1880.
We are not exactly savages down
here, benighted and isolated as we are,
and yet we sometimes need a little mu
slo to charm ns Into forgetfulness of the
trials and tronbles with whioh we have
to contend in this fleeting world; so on
Friday last a trio of musicians took
pity on us and treated ns to some rich,
rare and racy music. The harpist oar
ried us all through "Tara's hall," the
organist gave ns a variety of sacred
melodies, whilst the boy who "drew the
hair across the entrails of the cat,"
made ns feel very mnch like tripping
the light fantastio toe. As the pennies
did not accumulate very fast in their
pocketB, they did not tarry long.
Our people are anxiously looking
and hoping for Congress to make an
appropriation to oarty on some serious
ly needed improvements on our battery
and Fort Delaware. An appropriation
jdst at this time wonld be of great ad
vantage to Delaware City. It would
infuse considerable life iu some of onr
fossilized people. People here need
employment, in order te keep sonl and
body together.
There is a probability that shad fish
ing in the Delaware will oease this sea
son sooner than nsu&l, as those great
foes to the fishermen—sturgeons—are
becoming quite numerous, breaking
and destroying their nets in a fearfnl
manner. A very large itnrgeon be
came entangled in the net of Mr. Wm.
Gibson, one of our most expert fisher
on Saturday, when he made a
men,
strong line fast to his tail and let him
go. Mr. G's. beat was towed along
quite lively by this new motive power.
The "Every Evening" made qnite a
mistake last week in saying that Mr.
Cheairs had bought the farm of Joab
Abston. Mr. James Craig was the pur
chaser, and the price paid for it by him
was $8001. The farm is beautifully
sitaated abont two miles the other side
of St. Georges. It is already in good
oondltioa, but Mr. C. will put many im
provements on It. He is a man of energy
and nerve, and withal a social good
eltizsn, and well deserves the success
he has met with in this life.
On Saturday evening last Ex-Mayor
Bigger met with qnite an accident,
which though not of a very serious na
ture, might have been so. He was
going down in the cellar, after some
coal, I believe, when he strqA,Ji
head full force against a piece Mlum
ber whioh was projecting from the coal
bln. He was knooked down senselegs,
and remained unconsions for some time.
The wound bled profusely, which pro
bably saved him from having a black
eye. This is oaly the seoond time in
his life bis Honor has been knooked
down. I did not inquire of him the
particulars about "the other knock
down," as I thought it was none of my
bosiuess.
A rumor has been put in circulation
the past few days, by some evil dispos
ed persons that Mr. Wm. E. Cleaver
was about to abandon the tomato pack
ing business. There is not a scintilla
tion of truth In the rumor. On the con
trary, Mr. C. will, the coming season,
enter more largely than ever into can
ing tomatoeB.
On Sunday morning I noticed on ene
of the canal boats laying at the wharf
a large pile of bones, among whioh, I
was informed, there were very many
thatformerly belonged to living,breath
ing human beings. I was unable to
ascertain exaotly where these bones
oame frem, but was told they came
from some place in Virginia. Have
soldiers graves been robbed to turn
their bones into poudrettef Shame 1

Another Good Investment.
The general prosperity of our work
ing men is evinced by the steady in
vestment iu the depoeita cf onr Saving
Inetitutions, both of whioh we learn are
receiving many new acoounte. Indeed,
ae both have a large surplus, aud pay
five per oeut. interest we do not see
what better or safer investment ean be
made of savings until enough is accu
mulated to buy a home or a house or
two for investment.—R bpublicax.
The same may be said of our Loan
Associations. They are also "reoeiving
many new acoounts," at least those I
am connected with. But they have no
"Surplus" as there is a constant de
mand for the funds every month at pre
miums ranging from 12 per oent. and
upwards, sometimes falling a little be
low. Investments can always be with
drawn with not less than ( per cent.
All our "Saving Insttutlons" seem to
be striving for the one object, i. e. to
induoe people to save. Geo. C. Maeis.
A Wedding In Rich Lira.
The marriage of Miss Bleanor Mary
Sherman, daughter ef Gen. W. T.
Sherman, to Lieat, Alexander Mont
gomery Thackara, United States Navy,
was solemnized on Wednesday evening
at Gen. Sherman's residence on Fif
teenth-street, Father Beyle, Pastor of
St. Matthew's (Catholic) Church officia
ting. The wedding was comparatively
private, only the immediate friends of
the family and offioers of ths Army and
Navy being in attendance. The brides
maids were Mils Sackland, of St. Louis,
Miss Marion Whipple, Miss Itaohol
Sherman, Miss Slack, and Miss Ew
ing. The groomsmen were Lieuts. Kel

his bride, after a reoeption, left at 10
o'clock for Philadelphia.
A 8300,000 011 Fire.
While "torpedoing" the well of the
Shade Oil Company, near Bradford, Pa.,
on Thursday the well caught. Ire, and
the flames spread rapidly through the
woods to other oil property, including
wells of the Oak Shade and McCalmont
Oil Companies, near Summit. By four
o'olock in the afternoon several miles of
territory had been burned over, 300
derricks and a vast quantity of oil had
been destroyed, and the village of Reno
oity, comprising 100 houses, ten miles
from Bradford, had been entirely
burned down. The fire was under con
trol. The loss is ronghly estimated at
$300,000.

Joseph M. Truman, Jr., of Philadel
phia and one ef the other offioers of
the Friends Colinlzstlon Association
says: "It may now be considered cer
tain that so far as any stouk company is
concerned, the Friends Colonization As
sociation will not be perfected. If the
agitation of the subject shall be the
means of prompting some men of means
to follow the excellent work of John P.
Benjamin, in the founding of Benjamin
villa, 111., some good will have result
ed, even though such Friends may re
alize some little advance on their In
vestment, but neither individuals nor
those who acoept the position of agents
for a railroad, as has our friend Jesse
Holmes, whether with or without com
pensation, will be iu the position to
guard the settlerB from any tendency
to exaotlen on the part of such corpo
rations, as would a stoek company,
such as was proposed to have beau for

We wish to reoommend the services
of Hugh Patton to all builders; be is
one who makes diggiug cellars his es
pecial business and the only one we
ever knew who did the thing right and
the Lord will prosper such a man who
takes into kindly consideration the
comfort of the hard working animals in
his employ. He is at present engaged
in digging a cellar at Fifth and Ship
ley. As soon as passible the road up
from the cellar is planked, keeping the
wheels from sinking in the soft clay
aid making just half the effort neces
sary to pull up the load. We were de
lighted with the arrangements and Mr.
Patton remarked that several gentle
men had expressed great admiration
for his plans. Every cellar should be
fixed In the same way and we intend to
insist on it and one more thing, which
is, when the oart is full the men must
give it a start up the kill. Mr. Patton
puts his own shoaldar to the wheel.
Heaven bless him. His horses all
look well fed and work willingly for
such a kind man.

A twelve.year-old boy was held in a
$100 peace bond and oompelled to pay
the costs in the oase, at the l'oliee
Coart last evening for having need
abusive language toward a colored man
named Jackson Snyder.
Snyder next was arraigned on the
charge of disorderly conduct, but as he
wished to have a certain witnoss the
case was postponed.
A man while drunk missed kis watch

One of the meanest tricks of which a
person can be guilty is to send an ac
count of an Imaginary ocourrenoe to a
newspaper, inserting in it the name of
some acquaintance, thns hoping to
hold both the paper aud party mem
tioned up to ridicule. The Republican
is in receipt of Just s.eh an article. A
little investigation has revealed the
author. The name is witkeld for the
present.
Just here it may be well to eall at
tention to the fact that some one who
has not the slightest connection with
this offioe, and never will have, is
masquerading aronnd town as a report
er of the Ripublicak. People will con
fer a great favor by sending his name
to UB.

A little thing transpired in the selec
tion of members of the Hoard of Health
that has not yet been made public. It
will be fonnd somewhat interesting.
When the Democratic members of Coun
cil met in caucus for the purpose of
ohoslng the Board, Mr. Afaele, a mem
from the Fourth Ward, reported tho
old members, Col. E. T. Singley and
John Aikin appeared to give gen
eral satisfaction, and not an objection
would have keen raised had not Mr.
James MoOlinehey, from the Third
Ward, for reasons which will presently
transpire,gone to Mr. Abele and impres
sed him with the fitness of 'Squire W.
H. Brady. He so skillfully argued in
Mr. Brady's favor and disparaged the
appointment of Col. Singley with such
tact that Mr. Abele finally consented to
do wbat the representative from the
Third Ward desired. Accordingly the
name of Mr. Brady was snbstltnted.
Daring the caucus, it is alleged Mr.
McCiliuchey was asked by a friend why
it was that he did net want to see Col.
Singlev in the Board of Health.
"Well," said he, "I'll tell you; I
haven't any thing against the fellow
exoept that he does not report the pro
ceedings of council to suit me. My
speeches appear in very brief form, when
they are worth much more spaoe."
Col. Singley, it will bo remembered
is one of the looal staff of the ''Gazette,'
and is the council reporter of that pa
per.
After Mr. McGlinChey had left the
oauenB that night Mr. Abele took a
sober second thought aud finally con
cluded that it would be more creditable
to him to attend to the affairs of his
own ward himself. He therefore erased
the name of Mr. Brady, and substituted
the one whioh had been stricken out at
the request of the councilman who so
likes to see his speeches in print. The
trouble oyer this ohange created quite a
little row in the Democratic camp, but
did not get out uatil recently.
A nother interesting little episode con
nected with the seleotion of the Board
of Health, is furnished by the ohoioe in
Mr. McGlinckey's own Ward. Mr.
Monaghan, ex-president of the Board,
haa lately moved into that Ward. It
is said he has an ambition for council
manic honors. Mr. McOllnchey would
love to go to the Legislature. If he
oan't go there he wishes to continue in
oonncil. Mr. Monaghan would be a
powerful obstacle in the way of his
nomination. Accordingly Mr. McG.
resorted to diplomacy. ,
Cleverly he pnt Mr. Monaghan's
name en the list as a member from the
Third Ward. He also declared he
wonld make him (Monaghan) president
of the Board. This bait was tempting
ly dangled before Mr. Monaghan's eyes.
It was hoped he would jump at it. Ho
didn't jump worth a cent. In faot he
didn't jump at all, but respectfully de
clined, and Dr. J. T. V. Blocksom was
chosen in his stead.
Col. Singley was not only obosen as
a member bnt was made ohairman of
the Board last night. He says he will
keep the sessions short, and aot firmly

Wilmington Brewers In Trouble.
Ctcil Whig ol To-day.
On Tuesday last, Bailiff Shockley
arrested one Spahn, of the firm ol
Specht & Spahn, of Wilmington, Del.,
for peddli»g lager beer under a license
to keep a hotel. On that morning, as
we are informed, Spahn came to Klkton
with a load cf bottled beer and waited
upon the Clerk of the Cirouit Court, be
fore whom he made oath that he was
the proprietor of a hotel in Elkton, with
suitable accommodation for six persons
over and above those needed for the use
ol hiiiself and family and stabling for
six horses. Aud thereupon obtained a
license, as before stated, to keep a hotel,
whereupon he proceeded to wait upon
sundry persons and disposed of his
stock in trade. All of which facts com
ing to tho knowledge of tho Bailiff,
Spahn wa3 arrested and taken before
Justice Foard, who held him in $200
bail for his appearance for a hearing
on Tursday, when the case was taken
before Justioe Howard, and the parties
waived a hearing and gave security for
their apfoarance at the September term
of court.
A Fatal Mexican Dne).
A fatal duel took place on the 27th
between Senor Greneo Paz, editor of the
"patria" and a member of Congress,
and Senor Santiago Sierra, editor of the
"La Libertas" and Secretary of the
Senate. The latter was killed oa tho
first shot. Senor Paz and the seconds
were arrested, but those who are mem
bers of Congiess were released, they
being not liable to arrest during the
session. The others were imprisoned.
More Complaint!.
A gentleman stopped at this office te
say that it is with very great difficulty
that the house keepers in the vicinity
of Eighth and Madison streets, can get
the garbage contractors to stop aud take
away the garbage even when they go
past the place, and another complaint
comes that piles of dirt and offal have
become a very great nuisanoe in the
neighborhood of Ninth and King streets.

The ''Breakwater."
The "Breakwater" !a the name of a
new Bteamboat launched on Tiinrjday
morning at Roach's yard Chester for
the Old Dominion Steamboat Company.
The vessel is 200 feet over the load
line, 223 feet over all, 30 feet beam, 21
feet depth of hold, and 1200 tons regis
ter. She has a single duplex acting
snrface condensing engine, thirty-six
inches by forty-eight stroke, and her
boilers are two in number, fifty feet
long by ten foet in diameter. The
propeller is of the Hirsoh patent, eleven
feet three inches in diameter, and is
calculated to make about sixty-five rev
elutions per minute. The ship will
draw about twelve feet of water, and
will make about fourteen knots per
hour. There are two decks and she
will Ijo schooner rigged, and when un
der full sail she will spread about 12,
000 square yards of canvas. The hoist
ing apparatus is of the most approved
kind, worked by Bteam, as is also the
steering arrangements.
Her saloons will be finished in choice
hard woods, and she will have twenty
three state rooms, most elegantly fur
nished, which will afford accommoda
tions for fifty-five first-class passengers,
besides the officers and crew. She is
intended for the trade between New
York and Lewes, Del., connecting at
the latter place by rail with the eutire
peninsula and Maryland. The Vessel
has very fine lines and ample power,
and is expected te make the trip be
tween New York and LeweB in ten
hours. She will be oompleted by the
first of Jans, in time to market the
■mall fruits from Delaware.
The New Railroad.
West Chester Local Times.
The reported lease or prospects of a
sale of the West Chester k Philadel
phia Railroad to somebody or some cor
poration somewhere down in Maryland
led us yesterday te interview Snpt. H.
K. Smith upon the subject. We fonnd
that official in his office, busy at at
tempting to solve how to run express
trains to suit all patrons of the road.
Tapping him on the shoulder to divert
his attention from his perplexing prob
lem, we told him the objeot of our
visit. If there is any pnblio man on
this footstool who loves to be inter
viewed by a newspaper reporter it is
Mr. Smith. He revels in its delights
and generally hands the man of news
an X or a V as an evidence of ap
preciation of his services to the
world at large. Wo repeat, we told
him the «ause of enr present
ing ourself in his august presence, and
then wheeling aronnd his easy chair
and pnshing one toward ub be bade ns
te be seated, and signified that he was
ready, to impart all, or any part there
of, of his information concerning the
matter in question. We asked him a
dosen or more questions touching the
Bnbjeot, and after an hour and a half's
interview we came away fmlly posted
as to the best process to be employed
in the planking of Bhad and the possi
bilities of the nnit-rnle being enforoed
at Chicago. We are highly gratified at
the result of our interview, and upon
the whole sum up the shad and unit
rule points as meaning that that road
has not as yet been leased to Col. Mo
Comb, but it may be or it may not be—

A special despatch from Washington
to the Philadelphia " Press" says :
Learning wisdom by experience the
«
—send the President a bill regarding
the ieputy marshals to be considered
on its merits, instead of tacking it on
as a rider to a deficiency bill. Mr.Bay
ard introduced a bill in the Senate to
day providing or the appointment of
Deputy marshals hereafter by the cir
cnit courts and their division equally
between the different political parties,
It was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee; and Mr. Bayard hopes they will
report it back by Monday, when he will
press its immediate consideration. Once
v , . ..__, j_... ,,
passed in the oenate, it would go to the
Speaker's table iu the House, Where it
could betaken up by a majority vote.
Unless an unexpected disposition to
make speeches on the subject is rnani
tested the bill might pass both houses
next week and go to the President. The
Democrats will wait about making any
appropriations for the payment of de
puty marshals until they see what
President Hayes doe3 with this bill. If
he signs it money will be appropriated
if not there will boa strong element
who will oppose any prov sion for the
payment either of the fees already earn
ed or for the future expenses of deputy

PETEK'S PIEflDT
An 014 Reprobate While BrnM
Tries te Kill Hla Wife.
At Police Court last evening, there
appeared an aged man named Peter
Carrigan, who was charged with as
saulting his wife with intent to kUl.
"On Thursday," said his wife, "he
came home drank and after abusing me,
went after mere liquor."
When he re entered his home, it was
shown by the evidence, he drew off his
bools as though about to retire, bnt he
arose and pulling out his pooket knife
threatened to kill the old lady, at the
same time inflicting a wound on her
cheek below the eye.
Dr. Kittinger testified, saying that
the wound was about li inohes ia
length.
When the wife said she feared that her
husband would take her life, the Mayor
held him $1,000 bail for his appear
ance at Court. The trial frequently
was interrupted by the prisoner en
deavoring to say something. Peter Is
very old, and one looking at him would
suppose his days of sinfulness long
past. His form is bent with ago and
kis hair is white.
