OPERAS have very rarely been successful in
Wilmington, aud meyer, unless given by first
class talent, sustained by companies numerous

stage Some of the strolling singers that have
managed to secure the notice of the press, and
have made some money in the large cities, where
there is population enough always to fill house
with "green horns" for several nights together,
who have been delighted" or "disgusted," just as
the case may suit the next intelligent person they
meet; knowing nothing OF the mei,ts of en- ope-

who attend operas arc not easily deceived, and

TO idle away the dull hours of an evening, rather
than spend them in q hotel. While this is unde-

The z lection Of Or. A. n. crImshaw

We think 1t a matter of cong sraiulation that
this gentleman has been elected to the Bor-d OF
Public Education. Not so much because of the
difference between tho qualifications OF the can
didates at the polls at the late School election in
the Seventh Ward, since Mr.. Stotsenburg is not
generally known, and, therefore, we are unable TO
speak of his qualifications for member But
it will 20 somewhat to shew that the members of
the Board have IN appreciation ot the election
laws, and hope TO sec them strictly carried out.
We do not believe that any fraud was intended
by the conductors of the election in the Seventh
Ward; but the neglect Of the Inspectors to swear
themselves before opening the polls and receiving
portion Of the votes Ia inexcusahe, and the Board
could not have had more fitting opportunity to
impress the necessity of observing the law strict
ly upon the voters.
Doctor Grimshaw, however, will be an acqui-
sition to the Board. His knowledge OF school
books, and long and active acquaintance with
teachers, schools and teaching all go far to assist
in making him very useful member, while his
learning, ability and competency are recognized
and acquiesced in by all. In this matter the
Board has done itself credit, although the vote
was q very close one-those favorinG mixed
schools are supposed to have voted against the
Doctor, who Is utterly opposed to such degre'
daton Of the whites, while he would not with
hold education from the negroes

association Under the thorough and eff
fccnt control of our public spirited Sc
lcctmen, d. G. Blossom, NJ. V. b. Pratt,
and NJ COlvin, an addition to the old Gem
ctery has been purchased and laid out 10
family lots, which is now being enclosed
with handsome and substantial faced
stone fence. The town, of course, is at
the bottom of this enterprise, but it is be-
leved that the sale of lots will fully reirl-
bursc the town. Naples of fifteen years
growth shade two sides of the cemetery.
Several fine family monuments are already
erected, and more are ordered When the
contemplated Improvements are completed

An sndian Embassy.

\ delegation ct four Indian chiefs of
the Caughnawaga and st, Regis tribes, is
in Montpelier, to present their old claim
for remuneration for the loss of their an
cient hunting grounds in this state, on the
west side of the Green mountains. They
were received by Governor Peck in the ex-
ecutiye chamber, and presented their petit
ton through one of their number who
acts as interpreter. 1t is neatly written
document, curiously worded in broken
English, and recites the presentation of
their claim number of years ago and its
rejection or postponcment in view of the
expense the state had incurred In rebuild
ing the state house. They now urge once
more their claim and promise TO invest the
money they may get, not in any foreign
land, but in the United States, and to be
content with the interest thereof. Gov
ernor Peck received them courteously, read
their petition, and after they had been in
diyidually presented and had shaken hands
with the governor, they retired. They
were not in their war paint and the ac-
cessories of council fire and pipe of
peace were omitted by some oversight.

A FRIGHTFUL DEATH.
A Man Makes 1900 Revolutions on
SHAFT and Is Literally Torn
Pieces-fafs Flesh ana Blood scat
tered Around the isoom-A Heart
rending scene.

A correspondent of the Troy wing at
Cohoes sends the following to that journal:
We are called upon to chronicle another
horrible accident which resulted in the in
slant death of its victim. At $50 o'clock
Tuesday morning, Thomas Crane, en-
ployed as a washer in the Massasoit mills,
repaired in the best of health, to his work.
Having thrown batch of goods into the
washer, he attempted to put OH the belt
running from the machine to the main fhaft
To do this he was Obliged to lean sideways,
using his left arm. While in this position
his clothes became entangled with the shaft.
Quickly apprehending his danger he made
most desperate effort to secure..a brace, in
which case it would have been struggle
between the endurance and strength of the
man to the strength of his clothing. but
falling he was caught up and whnled around
at the rate of 1874 revolutions minute. At
ct each revolution his head would strike the
ceiling and simultaneously his feet would
come IN contact with q steam pine which
run from The basement to the room above.
At each thump the flesh would fly from the
bones until by peaccmeal it was literally
whipped from the tips of the toes to the
knee. The head was beaten to Il shane
less mass. The head, brains and blood
were scattered against the flooring above
and the machinery tor a distance of twenty
feet. The left arm was torn from the
socket, hurled across the room, where it
was lUunc 10y one of his fellow workmcn.
Every bone, the physicians assert, in the
mans body WAS broken, and that which
but moment before constituted the robust
form OF Thomas Crane, dropped to the
lloor sckening heap of pumiced flesh and
bone. Patrick Watts. who was assisting IN
adjusting the belt, Is the only man vino wit
messed the dreadful affair As soon as he
saw that Crane was entanged Inc ran to
shut down the wheel. but as in most criti-
cal moments part of the gate had been
sent TO the machine shop for repairs, and
1t would net work He retraced his steps.
and calling assistance the head gates were
shut down and the gates of the tail rac9
opened, when the wheel was brought to a
stand still. When the shaft became i'm
movable the body dropped to the floor be-
meath, where it was permitted to lie until
Coroner Hart Of Waterford, who had been
summoned, arrived. 1t is estimated that
the bopy made 1000 revolutions before be-
ing eXtrlcated. The parts of the body were
gathered by broom and dust pan. The
parents OF the unfortunate young man, who
reside at Woonstock, Ontario, were nolo-
fled of the sad news by telegraph.

not afford to permit any legislation that
will curtail the receipts of railroads beyond
reasonable paying business, with other
industries of the state. Yet the managers
must not expect to Cypress the Industries
Of the state without the anticipation
of being called to an account there
for through the peoples representatives
The question now arises Is the legislature
prepared from the present position Of rail-
road affairs, TO enact laws regulating rail-
road tariffs or make general statutes appli-
cable to the remedy of existing evils, cs-
pecally in the short period Of time of
session, and have time to fully investigate
the position of affairs in all their relations.
In one regard we are far behind most of
our sister states IN the matter of obtaining
information In reference to our railroads
and their management Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Connecticut
have each board of railroad commission
ers with full power to collect information
and in their reports present valuable infor-
nation, respecting their railroads, to the
legislature, with such recommendations as
they see fit upon subjects beyond the power
granted them.
Vermont has what ia called railroad
commissioner, but the office is mere sine
cure, worthless so far as any practical re-
suits are concerned-a disgrace to the state
The commissioner has no power and no
information is expected from him. He is
paid by the railroads of the state and
proves but dummy, to cover up wrongs
and mislead the public. The appointment
has usually been given TO some individual
as a reward for political services or to
compensate him as a lobbyist
A board of three commissioners should be
appointed judiciously selected, of men
one at least possessing n general business
talent, another good lawyer, and the
other having had general railroad expert
ence, and all to be men devoid Of prejudice
or bias, clothed with some power to act in
certain emergencies They should collect
information and place before the legis-
lature such facts rs they can gather
in reference to the condition of our
railroads and recommend such action
as they deem best for both the railroads and
the public. They should receive their
salary from the state direct Such board
would bring credit to the state, secure the
sonfdence of the people and prove of ben
eft to the public. Wise counsels should
prevail in such legisrion MS may be pre-
scented, that both the rights Ct the railroads
and the people may be protected In so
doing our legislators should give careful
consideration to the relations between the
railroads and the state.

Mysterious Attempt nj Murder.

An unknown man was discovered Mon
day morning by some strollers from New
castle, Delaware, lying impaled upon some
sharp stumps of bushes in dense mass of
underground, in woods near that town.
lie was alive, but unconscious. and atten-
ton was first directed to him by the moan
ings which his pain produced.
The affair is wrapped in mystery. The
man, evidently young in years and well
dressed, is an entire stranger. How he
came there is not known, though the sur
roundings point to his situation as the
fiendish design of some cruel Pomeroy. A
sufficient clearing had been made in the
thick underbrush to lay man down, and
he was there securely pinioned by the
sharpened ends of the stumps of the
bushes, one of which penetrated his neck,
another an arm, while others still were stuck
into other parts of the body.
The unfortunate man was removed from
his perilous position to Newcastle, where
medical attention was summoned, and it
IS thought his life can be preserved. Eff
forts are being made to unravel the mys-
terious affair.
