EXCESSIVE JoY FOLLOWED BY DEATH.

EXCESSIVE JoY FOLLOWED BY DEATH Mary Mcguire journeyed from Ireland six years ago, and settled in Bsyonne with her son John. He died, and she was sent to the Snake Hill almshouse. Last week she returned to Bayonne and begged for money to send her to Ireland. where she could die surrounded by her friends. She is over 70 years old. Chief-of-P Police Whitney pro- cured her the passage money, and on We'd nesday visited the residence of friend, where the old lady was living. She could hardly restrain her joy when told that he was to conduct her to the steamship. Af- ter she had bade farewell to her hostess and was on the threshold of the door, she uttered a slight scream and fell to the floor. She died before medical assistance could be procured. Death, the physician said, was from excessive joy.

Proceedings OF Court.
We devoted SO much space to an account OF
the opening ceremonies of the Centennial Ex-
hibition last week that we had no room to
give the proceedings of the court. Nothing
of importance, beyond the trying of some
negroes and few whites for petty larcenies,
was done, and we thought the Centennial
ceremonies were more interesting than these
things were. Some of the more important
cases were the following:
On Thursday Enoch Rash, George Revis,
Daniel Clark and James Brady were tried for
breaking into the store Of Chas. W. Groome,
in Christians Hundred, last fall, and stealing
clothing and other goods. Rash and Brady
were convicted and the others acquitted.
VIM. johnson, the negro who broke into
VIM. Stroup's chicken house, last fall, and
struck stroup, who tried to catch him, with
a brick, was found guilty, and fined $50 and
costs, and given 9 months.

Mr.. W. G. Caulk hoped that Sussex county
would be allowed the right to name her own
delegates.
Mr.. John W. Morley protested against such
a resolution being passed.
Several others spoke on the resolution,
when motion was made that the resolutions
be taken up seriatim, and it was carried.
The first resolution was then adopted unan.
imously.
Further debate was had on the last resolq-
ton, when the yeas and nays were called

Dr.. j. S. Prettyman, asked permission fol
the Sussex delegation to retire to name q
delegate in consonance with the resolution
just passed.
A vote was taken upon the proposition
when it was defeated.
Mr.. Daniel J. Layton, of Georgetown, then
arose and made determined 6ght in favor
of allowing the Sussex delegation to with
draw. He maintained the floor, and by an
able speech compelled the majority to make
the concession asked for, Messrs. Massey and
Bird yielding TO his demands.
The Sussex delegation then withdrew, and
in few minutes returned and named Eli R.
Sharp and David W. Moore as delegates, and
Jacob Moore and Daniel ]. Layton as alter
mates.

James R. Lo6and as delegates and John T.
