THE ELECTION
The Republicans Carry
the City.

No weather more propirious than that
which prevailed yesterday could have bean
desired to conduct an election upon. The
work of preparation was continued from
the night before, and 1t was easily seen that
an effort was to be made calling into requi
sition the strength Of both parties. There
never was before in Whining on An election
in which the party lines were drawn 90
tightly, wher, every muscle and sinew Of
party strength was strained In the effort Tor
political mastery.
H. was very noticeable fact that st the
beginning there seemed to bs . spirit Of
good order prevailing that had not been ex-
pected, and that too, in wards where there
was IN intense party feeling. But Il was
not destined to continue, 70. there were soon
thereafter muttsrnigs that forboded trouble,
Dut we're managed BY the peacesbly dis
posed In . very creditable manner.
Later on between two and three O'Clock
an occurrence took place at the Sixth Ward
which came near ending fatally. Il 10
stated to have been brought about In the
following manner: A young man BY the
name of '.Props'' alias Frye came to the polls
to vote the Democratic ticket In the Sixth
Ward, and while Offering TO deposit his vote
the same was challenged on the ground of
non-residence. This the the young man
protested against urging his right to vote
and high dispute of words ensued.
During this dispute "Props" became 20 en-
ragged that hs drew his revolver from . pic.
tol pocket, whether to be used or to frighfen
bis adversary cannot be stated. But mol
sooner had It been drawn than several Of
the bystanders seised him with the iaten-
tion, It is said, of wrestling H. from him. Bu'
at any rats during the scufae the weapon
was discharged.
1t 10 stated that there were three shots
discharged, one of them taking effect in the
fore. finger of "Props" left hand and another
lodging In the rear of bis head near the oc-
ciput. He was taken to the City Hall,
where Dr.. Ogle dressed the wounds which
he pronounced 40 not of very serious ma
ture.
A young man named Heal seised the re-
volver and 1t 10 supposed by several that he
did the shooting, but eye witnesses In tho
case say that the revolver was discharged
in the tussel to obtain possession of It.
The friends of the young man who vas
shot In the Sixth ward claim that he was
not repeater, and that he has been living
In Wilmington five years, and In that ward
over fifty days.

STRANGE REVELATION BY THE MIclso-
seoPE.-There is a story that an eminent mi
croscopist had bit of substance submitted TO
HIM to decide what it was. To an unaided
eye it might be morsel Of skin which a
baggage smasher had knocked off the corner
of smoothly worn hair trunk. The savant
appealed to his microscope. Entirely ignor-
ant of this tiny bit of matter except as he
had taken counsel with his instrument, the
wise man declared that it was the skin of a
human being and that, judging by the fine
hair on it, it was from the so-caled naked
portion of the body, and further, that it once
belonged to fair complexioned person. The
strange facts now made known to the man of
science were these ; That, thousand years
before, a Danish marauder had robbed an
English church.s In the spirit Of the old-fasl-
Toned piety the robber was fayed tlet us hope
that he was killed first), and the skin was
nailed to the church door. Except as tradition
or archaeological lore had it, the affair had
been forgotten for hundreds of years. Time,
the great erodent, had long ago utterly remov-
ed the offensive thing. Still, however, the
church door held to it marks Of the great
shame, for the broad headed nails remained.
somebody extracted one, and underneath its
fiat head was this atomic remnant Of that an
cient Scandinavian malefactol's pelt--that
fair skinned robber from the North. Pref
