WORK ON TIE STREETS.

The Street Committee of Council have
decided TO have all the streets in the city
thoroughly cleansed and for that purpose
Street Commissioner McCloskey, thi:
morning employed 45 men, 6 double
and 2 single teams. The Committee are
determined that all the streets shall be
in good condition before the summer
season commences.
Their determination is very wise one
as some of the streets have remained SC
long without being cleansed that they are
at the present time in very filthy con-
dition, and the miasma arising from them
tends to breed disease.

CHARGED WITH EMBEZzLEMENT

Before Esquire Frazer this morning,
Eugene Lynch, of this city, had hear
ing on charge of embezzlement prefer
red by ID. Lemon d Co.
The evidence of the plaintiffs was to
the effect that Lynch, several months ago,
was employed as an agent by ID. Lemon
d Co., to drive wagon around the coun-
try and make sales Of candy and cakes.
That after making some half dozen trips
his account of stock taken out, and of
stock and money returned did not bal
ance by SLIGO. and accordingly, after re-
peated attempts to effect settlement, the
charge of embezzlement was preferred.
The defendant was represented by
Henry Z. Turner, Esq, who cross-ques-
toned the witnesses, and briefly argued
the case, holding that the circumstances
did not come under the provisions of the
statute in relation to embezzlment. The
defendant was then held in 5000 bail for
his appearance at Court.

pied, and numbers Of persons being
Obliged to stand up. Among the audi.
ence were about one hundred Juvenile
Iemplars, under the charge of Nelson j
Lee. A y
George w. Wells conducted the meet
ing, and announced that since the present
temperance agitation had commenced q
year and a half ago, only 1925 had been
collected for the cause outside of his ner-
sonal contributions. He hoped the an.
dience would respond literally when the
collection was taken up.
he then introducedIRev T. ID. Killiam
OF this city, who made brief address.
taking the ground that the church should
heartily aid in the temperance movement
that politics should be made subseryien,
to the cause Of temperance, and that the
sale of intoxicating liquors should not be
licensed.
George Milo butcher, of Massachusetts
was next introduced and spoke for over
an hour, giving portions of his own ex.
perience, and relating the experiences of
Others who had suffered from intemper-
ance. He said that intemperance ahiict-
ed great and intelligent as we'll as poor
and lowly people, asserting as evidence
that Daniel Webster, Silas Wright and
Richard Yates. men celebrated for their
learning, eioquence and patriotism, now
filled drunkard's graves.
When Mr.. butcher had spoken about
an hour, the audience began to get rest
less, and many departed. ''Don't 90 out"
said Mr.. butcher, sin the name of ha-
maDity remain, your going out don't re-
fleet on me, but it reflects on the good
name ofthe people of Wilmington"
This appeal stopped the exodus, and
the speaker closed his remarks by urging
liberal response to the collection about
to be taken.
A collection was then taken, during
which Mr.. butcher announced that he
made his living by selling copies of his
autobiography, entitled, Disseminated"
price $1.50. He extolled its merits, read
extracts from its pages, and urged the
people to come forward, ''sign the pledge
and buy book"
After the collection the meeting closed
with the benediction by Rev. j. L. Hous-
ton. Excellent vocal music was furnish
ed during the afternoon, by the choir of
st. Pauls NJ. E. church, led by Mr.. z.
Pickels.

tits with deep regret that we chron-
icle the death of this worthy man
man whom we have known and
respected for years. He died, after
a short illness, at his residence, near
MGAdoo Church, at II o'clock on
Tuesday, the 18th inst, in the 18th
year of his age. In early life he
moved to this State from Virginia,
and, with the exception of about
five years in Missouri, spent the re-
maipder of his life in this county.
While yet young man he Joined
the Methodist Church, and through
out the rest of his life was a devoted,
sincere and fervent Christian. He
was the soul of truth and honesty,
and there is not man living who
can say that he ever received a wrong
at the hands of Wiley Bagwell-his
is a stainless name.
The funeral sermon was preached
at the residence on the following day
by Rev. Mr.. Brewer, and listened
to with the deepest interest by the
large congregation of friends, who
had gathered from far and near to
pay their last respects to a departed
friend. The body was then taken to
the family burial ground, where it
was inferred with the impressive
ceremony Of the Masonic Order, of
which he had been a member for
many years.

Judge Lurton is again in town and
will remain here till he holds his
Chancery Courtin Springfield, which
will be the last in which he will pre-
side unless the action of the bar in
Lebanon, which we have given in
another column, should induce him
to reconsider his purpose of resign
ing. The remuneration of Judges
in this State is so scanty that we feel
a delicacy in urging him to do so,
knowing that he can at any time de-
rive much larger emoluments from
private practice; but we are only ex-
pressing the universal opinion here
abouts when we say that such a re.
consideration would be hailed as a
happy event throughout this judi

In the case of Montgomery coun-

promise was effected last week be-
tween the County Judge and four
of the principal securities, viz
John NJ. Smith, T. B. Walthall, J..
B. Peterson and M. G. Gholson, by
which the above named gentlemen
shall pay the county four thousand
five hundred dollars, and be released
from all further liability. The
county still retains the books, and
the suit is not dismissed as to Sta

the last of the tax cases, aud this
important compromise, we consider
beneficial to all parties.
