Away in the distance Loudoun heights
were seen. Near by was Rock Hall run:
little further the railroad track, and as
the bleak wind whistled through the
leafie,s trees the dark body swayed gent
ly like pendulum. The, clothing was
covered with mud, the left arm, from
which the coat had been torn, was bare
and dirty, the head dropped to the right
touchiu ug the limb ofthe tree; the knot
had slipped behind his right ear, the
tongue was protruding and the face,
with all its darkness, looked wan and
ghastly. Nobody ventured to touch the
body, every one seeming to wait the ar
rival of the coroner, but it was broadly
limited that there would be difficulty in
obtaining n jury, as almost every man in
the neighborhood had lent hand in the
lynching.
A ride of three miles, over a rough
"corduroy" road, bought the news-seek-
to Licksville, where Mrs. Thomas lives.

The Opera House Meeting.
A LARGE GATHERING - THE PRIMI
CAUSES OF THE PERRY DEMDY MUIR
ERDISCUSSED

A LARGE GATHERING - THE PRIME
CAUSES OF THE PERRY DEMDY MUIR
DER DISCUSSED.
A large temperance meeting was held
In the Grand Opera House, yesterday af-
ternoon, under the auspices OF the Moral
Suasion Association and Walola Lodge,
No. SO, l. o. of u. T. The main object
of the meeting was TO discuss the main
causes that led to the recent murder of
Perry Demby. The audience was large
enough to ill the hall in every part, and
great interest was manifested in the pro-
ceedings.
John B. Cook, President of the M. S.
r. A., presided over the meeting, and
opened with brief address, alluding
III general terms to the OBJECT of the meet
ing, at the CONCLUSION Of which lie intro
duced Rev. MIR. Pegg, pastor Of Scott NJ.
4. Church.
MIR. Pegg spoke of the great enormity
of the crime Of murder, and Iii alludng
to the specific murder which was being
considered by the meeting, said Della
ware was gaining reputation for acting
unjustly towards the colored man. Yet
God, aud God alone, was responsible for
Perry Demby's color.
Mr.. Pegg proceeded to argue that while
the four young men confined in Jail on a
charge of murder were the principals in
this crime, yet rum Was the real cause OF
their act, and the rum-seller, therefore,
an active agent in the unholy and re-
voting crime. He also blamed society,
in great measure, for the spread of the
ram tlatiic, and reviewed the liquor Ii
cense question, from the Legislature that
framed the laws to the judges who grant
ed the licenses and the people who signed
the applications tor license, as all being
more or less responsible for the liquor
traffic and its invariable results-misery
and crime.
The remedy suggested by the speaker
was the punishment of the criminals, the
punishment of ths rum-selers and the
enactment of prohibitory liquor law
To this latter end he thought public sen
timent should be earnestly directed.
I Mr.. Pegg's address, was warmly ap
plauded, and at its conclusion duet was
delightfully."- sung by Misses Molhe anC
Ella II oberts.
The next speaker was Rev. j. B. Mann
who in his usual abusive manner, refiec'
ted upon jadge, jury, Attorney-Genera
anu everybody ese VINO Woulu De COLI
nected with the trial of Perry Demby'
murderers. He also declared Delaware
never haugs the murderer OF a negro
and claimed that this injured Delaware''
political status and the chances of hel
lfavorite son for the Presidency. The
lspeaker said that ifhe were Mr.. BayarG
he would leave his seat in the Senate
and assist in having justice meted out to
the murderers of Perry Demby. Mr.
Mann also alluded to the hquor phase OF
the question, blamed the rum seller fol
lDemby's murder, and urged an awaken
ed public sentiment that would SWEEP
lintemperance from the land.
President Cooke announced that an,
other meeting would be held on nex'
Sunday afternoon week, and the meet
ing adjourned with tho doxology ant
benediction.

The members of the Bar of Sussex
county assembled for the purpose of ex-
pressing their feelings upon the occasion
of the death ofour late Chancellor Daniel
NJ. Bates. and wishing to place upon rec
ord the testimony of their appreciation of
| his private worth and public services, do
ResOioe-

and uprghtness of his life, and endowed
with Intellectual abilities of high order
he spared no effort to fit himself for the
requirements of his profession, and the
duties Of the important positions he was
afterwards appointed to fill.
3rd. THAI as Chancellor he was al
| ways patient, and courteous, and kind ;
his opinions not only evinced careful aud
laborious study in the examination of the
facts of every case he was called on to
decide, but so illustrated the precedents
and principles of the law as to constitute
substantial and enduring con rbutions
TO its literature ; and that throughout his
short but useful judicial career, he did
his full share in maintaining confidence
in the administration of Justice in this
State.
4th. That the record of life so spent
in earnest obedience to all of the duties
religious, public and private, Is the no.
blest monument that can be erected to
man, and while we mourn his loss, yet
we feel we are consoled by the peaceful
| Deauty Vi LIS cuu, anu ny Tue TlCu Iutmo-
ries of the example he set before US, and
the good name be left behind him.

Pursuant to adjournment on Thursday
last, City Council held special meeting
on Saturday afternoon last, at five
o'clock, on Second street, between Wal
nut and Poplar streets. The meeting
was called for the purpose of viewing
"Stallcup Rum" and to take into consid-
Grafton what is best to be done with the
stream. After viewing the stream at the
point where it runs under Second street.
the Council visited the lower end of the
run, where 1t passes through the yards
of Pusey, Jones & Co., and empties into
the Christiana. After an examination
they found the outlet entlrely too small
for the large amount of water that flows
down the "run." After short discus
sion the matter was referred to the
