Democratic HIuddIc.


UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE CHIEF ENGINEERsHIP-
THE IMPossIBILITY OF MIR. M'INTIREs ELECTION
DECLARED.
Itiis asserted on Democratic authority that the
election of Councilman McIntire Chief En-
gneer of the Water Works is an an impossible
ty. AT the caucus held ON Friday night he re-
ceived seven votes, a majority Of the caucus, and
this. it ID SAID, is the full extent Of the strength
which he can command among the Democrats in
the general vote in Council There are four
Democrats who, it is rumored, decline to vote for
Mr.. Mclntire deeming him to be an unsuit-
able choice, and without their assistance, or the
vote of al one of them, unless aided by the Re-
publicans, he cannot DO elected. This situation
OF affairs has created some warmth Of feeling
among the Democrats, and it is currently report
cd that both Mr.. Hayes and Mr.. Paynter threaten
to resign their seats in Council il this selection
is forced upon them.
In the event of the election Of Councilman
McIntire as Chief Engineer, such action would,
it is stated shut out his father the defeated can
didate for City Treasurer, from the Register
ship for which he has been named.

| CONFERENCE OF GROWERS RELATIVE TO THE LOSS
| NOT MUCH DPsposITIoN TO SUE THE STEAM
hnrP COMPANY.
Correspondence Of The Commercial.
MIDDLETowN, October 4.
| The meeting OF peach growers, called by s.
| Townsend to determine what should be done in
| regard to claim for damage for the Otio's
shipment OF peaches, WAS very slimly attended,
| only seven or eight persons being present.
There was no organization. Mr.. Townsend WAS
present, and Mr.. II. 7. Lockwood, the super
cargo, stated the history of the
shipment, precisely as has already been
given by the COMMERCIAL. He ad-
ded that he thought nothing could be done
with the American Steamship Company, because
the agreement entered into did not specify
| strictly that the company would be held respon-
sible for the fruit.
Mr.. Townsend said he did not care for that; he
was anxious to commence suit and intended to
do 30 individually, for if the Company were not
directly responsible they were 30 through the
patentee of the refrigerator, MIR. Bate, who,
he considered, made grand swindle of the af-
fair, and did NOT do as the circular he had pre-
viousy sent ont guaranteed.
Hon. Il. T. Biggs thought it bad business to
get into a law ;suit with the Company and
thought some compromise with the agents could
be made.
Mr.. Lockwood then exhibited an English SOW
oreign which he received in payment for the one
crate of peaches that arrived safely in Liver
pool. He docs not know to whom it belongs,
but is ready to hand it over. The same is equal
to 80. 10 in our currency at present.
1t will be remembered that but 1000 crates OF
peaches were sent on the ohio, and the sum
paid on each crate was 81. Tho shippers
agreed to pay 80 400 for the compartment, in
tending to ship 2400 crates Of peaches, but the
room was too small to hold that number, conse-
quently the 81 per crate was not sufficient to
pay the sum agree upon. A Lill has been re-
ceived for 100000 additional freight, which is
expected of the shippers, at the rate Of about
25 cents per crate each. This sum in all proba-
bi!ity, will never be collected
Mr. Townsend desired me to state that anotl-
or meeting would be held next Saturday, after
views could be expressed by those concerned
when they met at the Fair.
The general impresslcn exists that no action
will be taken, and, il we are to judge from the
small amount OF interest manifested by large
majority of the shippers, that will be the case.

A BUSY MORNING, YESTERDAY, WITH THE MAYOR
SUCCESSFUL HAUL. OF THE POLICE DRAG NET.
Rarely ever does it occur that larger number
Of prisoners arc arraigned before the Mayor
than was the case yesterday. Disorder seems to
have run riot in certain sections of the city,
while drunkenness was its handmaiden. The
police however, were quite watchful, and the ci-
ty cells were fuller that usual
The first hearing was that OF a batch of color
cd men who had been interrupted in u disorder
ly dance at house on Marsh Lane by Sergeant
Wheelan and posse. When brought out, the
stool of repentance was unable to contain them
and they stood thick around 1t. The names of
the parties were John Allen, John Woodston,
George Smith, Saml. Garty, Spence Williams,
Charles Gould, August Hilyard, James Boulden,
Henry Wilson, George Bundy, Henry Thompson
and Daniel Bantum. They were each required
to pay costs and give bond for better conduct.
James Duggan and James Toomy, couple
OF lads about IL years of age, who had been
picked up early i'll the morning lying drunk in
the street, were next brought out, who attempt
ed to give assumed names, but the father Of
Duggan was present, who checked the attempt,
and urged the Mayor to send them both to New
Castle. The Mayor was moro anxious to find
out who sold them the liquor, but we are not adj
yiaod that he succeeded. Toomy was sent over
to New Castle, being vagrant. Duggan WAS
dismissed.
John Newell, a lame vagrant, was committed
to New Castle for 60 days.
Mary Ann Woodley and Emma Jones, mother
and daughter, were fined 80 cents each for dis
orderly conduct. Marietta Farrell Michael
Wheeler, Edward Pierson, David Groom and
