KENT ISLAND, Nd, Oct. &.
lam glad that in recent issue you
spoke out in real manly terms in con-
demnation of the recent walking match.
Too frequently the press rather leans
TO such questionable diversions. God
is on the side of right and you will not
materially suffer for manly advocacy
of it. Would that the moral stamina
Of our country could be pledged to
continued support of newspapers that
dare lift their voices against whatever
is Injurious to morals; then some of
the petty sheets that only do damage
would sink into bankruptcy and obliv-
ion. Instead, however, many Of us are
50 partisan that we will patronize the
press of our party no matter what its
moral tone may be. Is there another
paper-I mean of the city secular press
that has followed your example in
condemning walking matches and coun-
ty fairs as now conducted? =?
Truly yours, G. w. BURKE.

intersection with the Philadelphia turn
pike near St. Johns church in the
Ninth Ward, to the end Of the old snuff
mill lane. The Wilmington and Great
Valley turnpike in general is kept in
good travelling order, but some years
ago the City of Wilmington took pos
session of that end of the turnpike, put
men to work. graded and curbed the
same, and left the bed of the road mol
low in the centre. Since then there has
been nothing done to it and the water
has been allowed to run down the CEN

has washed out and left large stones to
stick up and others to roll about, for
vehicles of all kinds, to run over and
perhaps break the same. Now it is
hard for me to say who is the proper
party to do the repairing, as the city
graded the street, but the turnpike
company continue to take toll for the
the whole pike. 1t would have been far
better not to have graded the pike than
to have left it in the condition that

Letter From Roek Ran Aesr Port
Deposits.
For the Republican.
Rock Run, Oct. 70.
The runs here are what the name i'm
plies. The water Of two Of them Ia
utilized as mill power. It's carried in
eighteen inch cast iron pipes about 200
yards to a confluence iuto twenty-four
inch main, made of boiler iron, which
carries 1t from ten TO fifteen feet above
ground about the same distance further
and empties into an overshot wheel
the diameter Of which makes up for its
lack of width. The mill runs night and
day except Sunday, and has the repu-
tation Of manufacturing excellent fami-
ly -four.
There Is no reservoir or mill pond as
is customary in the country, and when
the mill is at rest the water is diverted
from the conduits to its original rocky
bed. These streams could be used to
supply the town Of Port Deposit with
drinking water If occasion should ever
require, but the town proper can only
grow in length, and whenever houses
are built, there will be springs from the
rocky hills on one side and the river
flowing on the other, from which they
have an inconvenient quantity, some
times on the breaking up Of an ice
gorge. They are said to be a grand
sight.
In 1875 or rs, a party of ladies and
gentlemen from your City headed by f..
Bringhurst, Jr., chartered a car and
came down to view one. There are
four granite quarries in operation here
which employ about 200 men, WHO are
paid about the fifth Of each month,
which makes business good for one
week in the month. 1t would be hard
hearted store keeper, who would re-
fuse man provisions after getting all
his money and there is the usual amount
Of loss, not always overbalanced by the
profit side of the account.
After a cool spell, we are having a
second or Indian summer. Stoves and
ulsters are discarded for the present,

Choked TO- Death by q Bean.

Mr.. Cobey was choked to death by a
bean in New Britain, Conn.,, on last
Thursday evening. He was in the
rooms of the Young Mems Institute and
was amusing himself by throwing
beans, with sling, at different men,
bers. He held some OF the beans in
his mouth, and while laughing swallow
ed two of them. One of them lodged
in his throat and almost stopped his
breathing. Medical aid was summon
ed and temporary relief was obtained.
He, however, grew rapidly worse, and
was in great agony all the night, and
died about noon the following day. He
insisted that the bean had entered his
lung, but the doctors think it was i'm
possible for bean Of the size of the
one swallowed to enter the lung, and it
is thought quite probable that it lodged
in one ofthe bronchial tubes.

An Embrace That Meant Business.

One day last week Mr.. J. B. Tsvis
was sitting in his place Of business, in
Philadelphia, when stranger entered,
and after some conversation threw his
arms around Mr.. T., and embraced him
most extravagantly. MIR. Tevis was
taken entirely by surprise, and it was
some time before he could free himself,
and when he did he could
hardly understand the situation. The
stranger, however, appeared to have
been actuated entirely by an uncon-
trollable affection for Mr.. Tevis, and
the latter accepted the situation accord
ingly. Judge of his feelings, when, q
short time aiterward, he had occasion
to use some money, to find that his
pocket-book was gone, and with /.
some two hundred and seventy dollars.
The loser says that lie will understand
the embracing business better, here
after.

OUR POPULATION.


There was one feature OF the recent
election in this countyswhich is graft
flying to all parties, yiz: the vigorous
contest brought out'kn unusually + III
vote. The number Of votes polled is
-787 and we can count enough more who
did not 20 to the polls o. who. Were alb
sent from the county to'bring the num-
Der Of our voters up to over 1000.
This would show population in the
county Of at least 5000 and probably
more. BY the time thetcensus is taken
Mobiles county will show population
Of 6, 900 to 5000. =,
At the last general election held two
years ago, the highest number of votes
pOllpd was $50. This was on County
Auditor, rs that was the pivot on v hich
the contest turned. This is an increase
Of 24S votes. The highest. number Of
straight Democratic votes was SO.
This year it is 2Ol. showing that the III =,
crease in our population is largely Dem
Ocratic.
In Worthington the number of votes
polled on the 4th was 149. Enough vo-
tiers have been counted who were absent
or not voting to bring the number up
to 20O, showing population OF 1000.
These figures show II steady and en-
couraging growth despite our draw
backs. Next year the tide of immigra-
ton promises to set in this direction as
never before, and by another general
election we shall not he surprised to
find a population of 5000 to 10000 III

A RATTLE FOR A SHERIFF.

An eager crowd was present on Fri
day afternoon last at the Auditors office
to witness the canvassing of the returns.
Auditor Walker had called Justices
Ilumiston and Durfee, both of whom
were understood to he against the Peo-
pies Ticket at the election, 50 that our
party had 10 representation Oh the
Board. Before beginning the canvass,
Attorney CLARK suggested that they see
that all the returns were in. Attorney
Rohrer demurred, Auditor Walker
shuftled the pile of returns, and the
count began without seeing that tie re-
turns were all III. Attorney Clark occa-
slonally made suggestion on behalf of
tie Peoples interest and Attorney Roll
rers occasionally said, ''shut up!'' ''I'll
Slap your mouth!'' etc. When Dewald
was counted there were II votes return
ed for John A. Town. The Board
counted these for ]. a. Town, seeing
that he needed them, and assuming
judi, ial power, which the law does not
give them. When the pile of returns
Was exhausted, it was found that Olney
was not III. The Board then adjourned
till Saturday afternoon to wait for o.
ney.
Saturday afternoon another eager
crowd attended. Olny wis opened
and cou ted and the total result was
cast up, showing four majority for
Mills and Il tie OH Sheriff.
The interest now became so Intense
rs to be almost painful. The law pro-
Vides that i'll case of il tie OH any coun-
ty office, the Board shall cast lots to de-
eide who shall take the certificate.
Mr.. Dnrfee retired into the Treasurer's
| Office and Mr.. Uumiston turned his
lack, while Auditor Walker prepared
two ballots wi,ereon were writttn the
names Of the two candidates. The bal
lots were given to Mr.. IIuniston who
placed them in hat and ratified" them
up. Then Mr.. Durf++ was called in to
draw one OF the ballots out. We sup
pose every man in the room held his
breath as Mr.. DIS hand went down in
to that hat. But down it went and up
came ballot. At this point the anxi-
ETY. was absolutely painful. Mr.. d. I'LL
rolled the paper with nervous fingers,
| hpsitated il moment and then read the
name in a distinct voice "R. r. Mil
| ler!''

ASINGULAR RESULT.

We have taken part more or less in
about every political campaign during
the past twenty years, but we lrlye new.
or passed through one where the result
was SO singular, the interest 50 intense
on small scale, or the outcome so graf
flying in hundred little personal ways
Thus we find that three of the candi-
dates, viz: Mills, Miller and Town had
each exactly 1913 votes, yet Mills and
Miller are elected and Town defeated.
In the Southern tier of townships
where Capt. Mills is we'll known and
universally respected, lie rolled up enor-
nous majorities, but these were offset
in the other precincts where lie is not
50 well known, so that he comes out
will, = majority of but /. Where there
isa straight party fight and tickets are
voted as a whole, the result is easily ac-
counted for, but where there is so much
scratching rs there was at the recent
election, the result is singular and sur
prising.
The tic on Sheriff, to any one familiar
with the county and the recent cam
Paign especially. was i most singular
result, and the interest from Tuesday
night until Saturday afternoon at four
o'clock when it was decided in favor OF
j. Il. Miller, waajntense. Wednesday
the suspense hung all day upon the re-
suit in Graham Lakes township which,
was not in. We counted surely, from
promises we had from there, on about
;sn even thing, but when the report got
in, it had gone heavily against us, which,
cut Miller's majority down to one by
the reports and the official count cut
off this one and left it tie. It looks
as though there was a Providence in
the matter. who evenel the thing np SO
that the decision should not be by bal
lot but 10y a higher power. Again, on
Coroner it WAS SO managed by the pow
ers that Bennett and Moore were only
II apart.
We admit that it was u close election,
but the result rs 4 whole shows that
the People and the gods are both Oh our
side.
