A Democratic Dodge Knocked In the Head
The Result of the City Election.

A Democratic Dodge Knocked In the Head
The Result of the City Election.
The Wilmington Commercial of last evening
says:-
''The election of city officers passed off yes
terday very quietly, but though there was but
little excitement the result shows that u much
larger vote was poled than was ever poled
before mt a city election. The total number of
votes cast for Mayor reached $40, or deducting
the 1863 votes of the new Ninth ward, 1901,
against 27S0 in 1868. This great increase is
doubtless owing to the new law which
gives any one qualified to vote at State eec-
tions the right to vote at city elections. As
compared with the vote at the general election
in 1868, in which the qualifications of voters was
the same as in that of yesterday, the vote Is IA
light one, for then, without the new Ninth ward,
there were 4113 votes cast in the old five wards.
The result yesterday proves Wilmington true to
her old and well earned record as the only un-
finchingly loyal city in any of the former slave
States it results in the election of the Repub-
licqn majority in the City Council, and 1.-THE
Mayor and Council of Wilmington" are the
city's representatives in the eyes OF the law.
The Democrats elect three city officers-Presl-
dent of Council, Treasurer and Assessor-the
only fruit of the iniquitous Nine Wards Bill.

An intoxicated New Yorker was knocked
down by the cowcatcher of an engine in Hart
ford, Conn, on Monday, and the engine and Ten
der passed over him. The train was stopped,
and the conductor hastened back to pick up the
Gead body, but the drunken fellow was found to
be very lively and outside the track, having by
some means been thrown out between the ten

The Obscauies of the Late Secretary of War
Impressive Servtces-A Grand Funeral Pa
geant.
Special Despatch to The EUent,ig Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The funeral of the
late Secretary Rawlins will be the largest and
most imposing since that of President Lincoln.
The weather is very fine. The rain of yesterday
has laid the dust, so that the streets were in
splendid condition for marching. The display
of military is larger and better than was eX
peeted. The citizens turned out in large num-
bers. Early this morning everything in the
shape of a carriage had been engaged.
An Affecting Scene.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Mrs. Rawlins arrived
at the War Department accompanied by her
mother. She was taken, on the arm of General
Sherman, to the room where her husbands
remains lay, and an affecting scene ensued
The Services.
At 10 o'clock the religious services were con-
Quoted at the War Department in the room
where the catafalque stood. An impressive
prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. Butler of the
Lutheran Church, after which Rev. Mr. Wilson,
who baptized General Rawlins, delivered a brief
address. Appropriate passages of Scripture
we're then read by Rev. B. Peyton Brown, and
the exercises concluded with prayer by Rev. Dr.
Hamilton The procession was very long. and
was an nOur III pttssIlS any given punt Inc
order of procession was as follows

Historical parties have been much affected
this winter by that portion OF the literary world
which have enough of fashion mixed up with It
to deserve to rank only as the dilettanti. At
these parties every one OF the guests is expected
to appear in the COSTUME of the country from
which the entertainment Of the evening derives
its name, Thus, if the party be Greciau-and
en- ancient, all but extinct nation 10 the one
generally symboliged- all the guests are ex-
pected to be habitcd accordingly. The Greeks,
the Romans, the Egyptians, the Assyrians, the
Persians have already been represented, and an
effort is on foot to get up an antique symposium
Of cosmopolitan nature, At some of these
merrymakiDgs the guests have brought Pagan
morals as well as Pagan costume; but the EN-.
tertainments at which the literary tone was
maintained were uneXceptionable.
