Dew Sir The sale of real estate, jan
uary I'D, pursuant TO order of thee Orphans
Court, Victor DUPONT, Trustee, briefly
and accurately reported In your report
OF the same day, was noteworthy in view
of the large attendance Of prominent cit
izens and the fiets attending tho bidding.
The real estate brokers and dealers be-
ing tolerably well represented by Mr..
Child, Mr.. McCaulley, Mr.. Bissell and
Mr. Head, all of whom are well inclined
TO a speculation. 1t appears that there is
no speculation in paying 100 and 137 dol
lars foot for property on Fourth street,
between Market and King streets al
though the property for which $50 was
paid is twice as deep as that for which
sl37 was paid. S33 foot does not seem
to be speculative price for property at
Fifth and Orange streets; and in fact this
lot came very near going off at S25 foot.
The attractive portion of the sale con-
sisted of those splendid lots on Broome
street near Delaware Avenue, which,
when once built upon, can never be
duplicated. These were taken by Col
McComb, who advanced $3.50 per foot in
the bid of q dealer who has residence
near by. Three lots chose nearest 18th
street, were taken, IL is said, for a re-
igious or educational purpose. The 9TH
ers near, owned by Col. McComb, cannot
long remain vacant. They form one of
the most beautiful terraces near the ac
tive portion of the city, and yet although
part of the town are rural and retired.

Desperation Of the silver Men,

Ever since the excellent annual Mes
sage of President Hayes the silver luna
tics have been compelled TO frame their
plans and temper their expectation with
reference to the forgone certainty of an
Executive veto. The Bland bill was car
ried through the House by parliament
tary trick which excluded debate with a
majority so triumphant as apparently to
make the Presidents negative of no con-
sequence. But time enough having elaps-
ed for deliberate reflection 1t In found that
that Fictitious majority will not be main
tanned. The gag of the previous question
cannot be asecondtime applied. according
10 the constitution the bill must be re-
turned with the Presidents objections to
the House in Which IL originated.
The vote on repassing ii will not be
taken until after full and searching de-
bate, and the chances already preponder-
ate against It's receiving q two-thirds
majority on the final vote. Meanwhile
the debate in the Senate is protracted,
with an increasing probability that the
bill will pass that body by less than two
thirds. If it falls short ON the first trial
1t will never get two-thirds afterward,
and 1t Is no wonder that its friends are
anxious and nervous as the vote in the
Senate draws near.-N. Y. Herald.
There never was a fairer proof of the
unpopularity and unfairness of a set of
any men than the above proves. They
are not willing to abide the decision of
the majority, and want two-thirds. They
,oW get it. One-third should not govern
two-thirds.

HOW HE HAS BEEN FLEECING THE d. s..
F.& NJ. INSURANCE co.
In March last q man named A. w. Hill
of Nottingham, Prince Georges county,
Md, applied for and received the agency
for his county of the Delaware State Ere
x Marine Insurance Company. At the
same time he applied for the agency of a
Baltimore Company, and was Informed
he could have il if he gave bond in the
sum OF $500, blank bond accompanying
the answer To this bond he forged the
name of VIM. II. Early, of Brandywine
same county, but as Mr.. Early happened
To be a Director in the Company, his
signature was well-known at the office,
and the forgery was thus exposed. Learn
ing this the ID. S. F. & NJ. Co. revoked
HllPs authority as an agent, and publish
ed him in the Prince Georytu, newspaper
Offering S25 reward for his apprehension.
The next thing heard of Hill was from
Dover, where he acted as an agent for the
Company and effected an insurance for
Hessrs. Hazel and Pennewill, and re-
ceived from Caleb Pennewill, a check
for SO, to the order of james III. Myers,
Secretary of the Company.
Hill took the check, and forged the
name of Myers, when he obtained goods
upon it at one of the stores in town Mr.
Pennewill wrote to Myers at Wilmington
WIZ uirCihiintu biBniuk tilt CHECK, az
Hill had stated, and also telegraphed
back that Hill was not an authorized
agent of the company. Hill says he does
not understand why Myers disowns him,
and paid the SO to Mr.. Pennewill, and
now holds the check. He now states that
Myers did not sign his name TO it, but
that in such cases the agent always took
1t upon himself to endorse such paper.
Messrs. T. & X. Jones, of Dover, also
wrote 10 Mr.. Myers in relation to Hills
operations, and this morning Mr.. Myers
telegraphed to Sheriff Blackiston to ar.
rest Hill and hold him in custody. Mr..
Mullen, an employe OF the Company will
go to Dover this afternoon to examine
into Hills transactions.
This morning postal card was receiv.
ed at the Company's office, in this city,
from l.. w. H. Bunting, of Bishopville,
Worcester county, Md, who stated that
he ,held Hills receipt for 1881, which he
paid 10 him in December last. He next
heard from Hill about the last of the
month, who wrote to him from Dover
and stated that the Company's office In
Wilmington was closed during the holi.
days. and that he (Bunting) would receive
his policy about the third of January
These are all of Hills rascally transactions
that have thus far come to light

The silver men were very nervous
to-day. Senators whoes opinions are
thought liable 10 change were earnest
ly talked to, and rumors that Senators
Lamar and Hill had felt compelled to
bow TO the storm and would vote for
the Bland bill were, re,pertinaciously cii-
culated. These rumois are false. The
debate made no progress to-day, the
Senate having spent the whole short
session In holding kind OF Irish
wake over the memory OF William
King, the first Governor of Main. The
presentation OF mis- statue TO Congress
led Senator Blaine into some historical
details which provoke an acrimonious
Discussion between himself and Sena-
tors Dawes and Hoar, In which these
two certainly showed to poor advantage.
The running FIRE of debate between
the tbIee lasted nearly an hour. and
amused every body except the two
Massachusetts, Senators.
Senators Lamar aud Randolph are
expected TO speak before the debste
un the Matthew's resolution closes.
Great curiosity is felt to hear MIR.
