On Saturday last Esquire Colt of this
town went to Clayton to take testimony in
the matter of certain charges which have
been pre- ferred against j. L. Caldwell, Supt.
MARYLAND 81 Delaware Railroad. This testi-
money was taken at the instance of DR.. G..
w. Goldsborough, Messrs. Satterficld Man.
love, and others Of Greensborough. The
charges we learn are that the Superinten-
dent has been guilty of misappropriating
the earnings of the road and grossly mis-
managing its affairs. The testimony seems
to have been all one-sided, as Mr.. Caldwell
was not present, neither was he represented
by counsel. No rebutting evidence was
called. The object is to oust Mr.. Caldwell
from the management of the road, 1t seems.
He, however, manifested little uneasiness
under the pressure, as the President of the
road, Mr.. Huntington, of Boston, who owns
the controlling interest is satisfied with his
management bis friends assert,

DOVER, Del, June 15.-The Court of Err
rors and Appeals, which has been sitting
since Tuesday, yesterday delivered an
opinion in the case of George FsBrady 81
Co., and E. Jefferson g. Son, appeal from
the Superior Court of New Castle county
confirming the decision of the court below.
The other case on the docket, that OF John
V. Rice, Administrator, VS.. William q.
Pennypacker, executor, is now being argued.
The argument will most likely occupy the
balance of this week and part of next.
There is some talk of erecting music
stand at the corner of King and State streets
for the use of the Dover Silver Cornet Band,
who propose to give open sir performances
during the summer. This will be quite
novelty in its way, and source of amuse-
ment and recreation to our people, as free
open air music is seldom furnished outside
the large cities in this country.
We have had two very considerable rain
other on Tuesday. All the bridges on Jones
creek and its tributaries above Dover were
carried away. The crops have not been In
jured to any extent in this neighborhood.
The result of the Democratic Convention
on Tuesday was received here with
great satisfaction. The orderlyness and
quetness of its proceedings are freely and
lavorab!y commented on and the marked
contrast between il and the Republican
Convention is the subject of much gratu-
| ation. The number of delegates having
! been increased it is hoped Dover Hundred
will get somewhet near her share of repre-
sentation, having one-fourth the population
| Of the county, and only one-fifth of the
delegates, having only eleven now when she
| ought to have at least fourteen if not fifteen
| under the new apportionment.
The grading of LUockerman street from
| State street to Governors Avenue has been

rapidly. s
The work on the new post Office is being

,bove the top of them, nearly all around
The building.

celebration this year, as it appears at pres

tribute, SO up il goes.

Yesterday afternoon the Quicksteps ANA

sionals There was large crowd present,
and at intervals during the game, the play
ing was very satisfactory.
Talley occupied his old position behind the
bat, and "Jersey" played at right clip
pitched two innings, but having seven runs
made Off of him, it was deemed prudent to
make change. Evans took his place, and
during the rest of the game, Latferty played
at left.
Several bad errors were made by the
Amateurs on the start, and the Actives took
advantage Of them, being at one time seven
runs ahead. Lovett retired as pitcher on
the third inning, and was succeeded by
Heifert.
Tremendous batting was done by both
clubs.

Tho Sun justly calls attention to the incredible

roHr II Republican and An oiicor Of the Govern
mont ha Ia not necessarily the subject for insult BY
any low-miniod Congressman who happens to havs
Official deatings with him.
Tho most remarkable feature Of tho oboye
paragraph from tho Herald indorsing tho

papers are bitterly hostile to tho At1ministra-
tton and to everything Republican, oil their
sympathles being with the Democracy and
tue Democratic Investigating Committees. A
robuke coming from such SOURCES, therefore,
is doubly severe. md ought to make very
distinct impression upon this " incredibly
brutal and indecent SIr. CAu1r1ELp 1t is
mattor for very sincere regret to Chicago
that this "low-mindod Congressman" was
elected from this district. As ho represents
no constituency, however,, at present, Chicago
ig not responsible for him.
