The sir knights are highly elated at

Their headq-iarL-rs were the Ebbitt

Their marching drew forth more praise
than that of any other eommaudery.
General Schofield decided that they

Elkton. Md., Oct. 10.— There were
8,000 persona at the Elkton fair to-day.
The weather was favorable, clear and
slightly warmer, and was suitable for the
g Thursday of the fair. The P., W.
B. Railroad carried large crowds, aud
the station was filled in the morning
with incomere and In the afternoon with
returning visitors. The greater number
of visitors came from points north of
here.
The crowd was hardly as large as It
was on last year's big Thursday, owing
The crowd
to-day exceeded expectations, other
things being equal. The fakirs found
the warmth favorable to brisk business
and many a hard earned dime tickled
their dirty palms The bookmakers aud
pool sellers profited by the large crowd,
and pulled in their fees to a much quicker
gait than any of the horses made.
The premiums were not so large in the
household department this year, but that
did not materially affect tha quality or
number of exhibits. The cattle depart
ment is not so large as formerly for the
tition was limited to thoroughbred

growled once in a while but they did not
make much noise. Borne out of Elkton
people brought their half pint ft asks with
them, but as the contents did not hold
out long, there was no trouble.
The restaurant In the basement of the
main building does not compare favor
ably with the Wilmington Fair restaur
ant It is badly lighted and not over
abundantly provided with accommoda
ttons. The W. C. T. U. in charge did a
lively bueinoBS and furnished good
meals.
Many unprejudiced people have been
whispering loudly that the days of the
Elkton Fair are almost numbered; that
a near-sighted policy on the part of its
managers has impaired its usefulness;
that poor management has killed its rep
oration. It is affirmed in good faith that
the fact of Elkton being a Local Option
town Is a drawback to the fair.
It does relieve the fair of a groat
deal of excitement that rum would create
The managers on the other side Bay the
fair is all they expected and more ; that
what Is lost in one department ia made
up In another, that the people want the
fair and will support it. The future will
decide. There is still another point.
Many Elkton people say the fact cannot
be disputed that this year's fair is not
equal to that of last year. Tuese people
believe that pool selling, now allowed by
tbe managers is indirectly the cause of
this failure. There is something wrong
somewhere and it needs attention.
The athletic exercises which have
always been a feature of the fair took
place this morning, beginning at 10 30
o'clock. William F. Kurtz of the War
ren Club took au active part in the man
agement. The Warren Club of Wil

of said caps and shirts walked with
stately strides, ate peanuts for dinner
and otherwise enjoyed themselves. The
Army paraded in Elkton this evening and
serenaded the Howard House with
"Marching Through Georgia," and then
held religious service.
A great many Wilmington people were
at the fair to day and they were easily
separated from the countrymen. Among
the visitors, besides the athletes, were

not very bright generally, At least it has
not been until recently. '
With the exception of one case of
typhoid fever—that of Harry Jemison,
who Is rapidly recovering—the town is
in a remarkably healthy condition. And
there is no reason why it should not be,
as all its manufactories are situated
outside of the more thickly populated
portion of the town, thus keeping the
atmosphere pure and unimpregnated
with the noxious vapors aud gases which
usually emanate from such places. The
river, via the sewers, receives a great
deal of waste products of the place, and
the air is healthy and has tbe effect,
especially during such crisp mornings as
we are enjoying at preseut, of vivifying

Grocers speak of business as being

After the noon recess yesterday, the

State. The following witnesses were
also called, examined and cross
examined. Annie Jalowski, the
woman with whom tbe murdered man
boarded, She stated that Jankowsky
was In the cellar with her. He started
out. She told him not to go or ho would
be killed. He replied that it was safer
to go out for he would be killed if he
stayed there.
Wilmer Hanson, mayor of New Castle,
testified next. Mr. Biggs asked him wbat
Rogers said when asked by him if he
had any questions to ask Carlin at his
ireliminary trial. Mr. Bird objected to

Till» Morning'* Session.
At this morning's session of court the
case was continued. John Rogers,
brother of the prisoner, was the first
witness. Mr. Gray endeavored to prove
an alibi by him. The witness was a par
ticipant in the riot, bat got out
of tbe fracas before tbe shooting began.
He told the story of his travels about
Dobbinsville on tbe night of the riot.
The prisoner was with him the most of
the time. He was near the Hungarian
row at one time while some boys were
stoning the houses. Later the
prisoner went to his bouse and
put his gun away and they returned to
Leonard's corner, on which was a pump.
While there some one said something

NEW CASTLE PRESBYTERY.
Installing Rev. Janie* T. Marshall a*
Pastor of Lower llrttudywlue Church.
From many of the strikingly pretty
homes at and near Centrevllle, Green
ville aud Mt. Cuba a large number ot
well-appointed teams aud vehicles carry
ing Intelligent, smiling, genial people of
various occupations converged towards
Lower Brandywine Presbyterian Church,
from about 9 a. m. to 2 p. m yesterday.
The occasion of this gathering was the
ordination, according to Presbyterian
usage, and the installation of the young
pastor elect, James T. Marshall, as
pastor de facto of Lower Braudywl e
church.
The day was as perfect an antumn day
as ever made tbe earth glad; and what
this means in so beautiful a section as the
one named, no one who has traversed
those rolling hills and fertile valleys and
looked upon their wealth of verdure aud
fruit, needs to be told. Conveyances
met tbe noon train at Mt. Cuba to con
vey visitera who bad come from Wil
mington and Philadelphia to attend the
exercises. Among these were Dr. Gay
ley, Messrs. Hugh Gamble aud son,
Ttiomas Grubb. Rev. James A. Marshall,
father of the young pastor elect, from
Philadelphia, Rev. William W. Campbell
of this city, and others. Arrived at the
church a bountiful dinner was served by
the ladies of the congregation, wbo mod
estly designated the repast a "lunch."
It is sufficient to say that "the lunch"
was not a limited one.
After "the lunch" the people gathered
in the neat church, tbe moderator and
stated clerk of Presbytery, Revs. Dr. L.
Marks and W L. McEwan of Wllming
ton, took seats. Presbytery was called
to order and business began. After some
preliminaries the main services of the oc
casion were opened. Rev. L. Marks. D.
D., presided and proposed the constitn
tional questions. Rev J. A. Marshall
preached a sermon from Zech. IV. 6.
after which Rev. Dr. Marks delivered the
charge to the pastor, aud Rev. Mr. Me
Ewan the charge to the people. Before
these lut named exercises the pastor
elect was ordained by "the laying on of
the hands of the Presbytery." In thlB
ceremony the ministers each laid a hand
upon the head of the young clergyman
who kneeled near the pulpit during the
act of ordination. The
was offered by Rev. William W. Camp
bell, the prayer of ordination by the mod
erator, aud the closing prayer by Rev. T.
R McDowell of Octorara.
Messrs. Marks and McEwan found the
delightful ride from Wilmington on the
Ken nett pike swift and short enough in
tbe easy carriage of William Wilson, and
Messrs. Woodward, Claire and Chandler
provided so well for tbe guests In their
charge for conveyance to the church that
there was nothing to wish for except
that the jonrney might have been longer
for the sake of the delightful ride. *fh*
