The Young man surmised at once who
the student was, and on going to the
police station had warrant issued for
his arrest. The case, however, was not
tried last evening. as the studen: had
taken the team away in return for a
joke that the young man had played on

The Good leInplars.

The Grand Lodge Of the Good Tenn
plars of this State held special cou-
vention at Dover yesterday, to elect a
Grand Worthy Chief Templar for the
State, to sulercede Rev. A. ID. DAVIS,
who has removed to Maryland. Ger
tain ministerial influences have been
at work to secure the election and ac-
ceptance of Mr.. Henry Morrow OF this
city, who is one of the prominent tenn
perance workers in the State. After a
majority of the Lodges of the State
were committed to vote for Mr.. Morrow
he was officially notified of the preIim-
mary action which had been taken in
his interests but he says without his
knowledge. Mr.. Morrow agreed to
serve if elected, but he states.that he Is
ineligible, because of not having taken
the Grand Lodge degree. Whether
this can or will be waived by the con
vention We have not at this writing
learned. The other party named Tor
the office is said to be Rev. Mr.. Hope, ol
Kent county.

Edith rreernan's Death.

1t is announced that Mrs. Freeman,
who, in connection with her husband,
murdered her little daughter, Is dying.
since her Incarceration in prison she has
been weeping almost constantly day
and night. She has tried to eat, be
lieving that it was her duty to do so,
but in the ten days of her imprison-
ment she has eaten less than would
make an ordinary meal.
When the Sunday passed and her
little girl was not resurrected, as she
firmly believed she would be, Mrs.
Freemen at once admitted that she and
her husband had made an awful mis-
take, and with this acknowledgment
the maternal instinct pleaded so strong
ly in prayer that her child might b.
spared has returned. She has said
that she could not have consented to
the sacrifice had she not firmly heliev.
ed that Edith would be restored to life
on the third day.
She always says that it was revealed
to her husband tkirty-six hours before
the sacrifice that Edith's immolation
was demanded. He went to the barn
and prayed for hours that God would
take the cup from him, and she at
length went to the tarn, and, kneellng
on the hay beside her husband, put
her arm around his neck, and both
prayed to be spared the necessity OF
doing the act, but they got no peace un-
til they determined to do it.
Her sorrow is most distressing now.
She moaus, ooh, my little darling
Edie, my darling child, how could God
have permitted US, who loved Him so
and tried to follow Him, to do such a
wrong p and then she bursts into the
most passionate sobbing that lasts for
hours. Her face has wasted, leaving
her cheek bones prominent, and both
are bright red with hectic flush,
which indicates fever.
Her otherwise white face and blood
less lips, and her great eyes that are
red with weeping, her tottering step,
and her inability to eat or sleep, are re-
garded as indications that very soon
the reserve nervous strength will be ex
hausted and that she will rapidly de-
cline. Her love for the baby and her
1emorse have overs hadowed her relig-
ious faith.
Her husband know. nothing of this.
He is perfectly selt.contained and con
tented, and eats and Sleeps well, still
confident that God commanded the act

FOURTH EDITION.
That Scandal Case.

As we suspected there is very little
in the scandal case alluded to in Mon
DAVIS paper, and there is no minister
in the case at all. 1t seems, however,
that a girl between twelve and thir-
teen years Of age, employed as domestic
in the family of r. H. Derrickson, OF
Delaware City, having been found to
have been acting imprudently was sent
to her home in New Jersey, from whence
she came before Esq. Brady of this city
and swore that Mr.. Derrickson was the
father of her unborn child. Mr.. D ap-
pearing before the Squire yesterday
entered the required bail OF $500 to ap-
pear and answer on October first next,
one month after the time it is expected
the child will be born. Mr.. Derrick
son. who is known to the citizens OF
Delaware City as an upright and hon
orable man, denies the charge, and
says it is a clear case of blackmail IT,
extort money from him as he is gentle,
man of considerable property. The
people of Delaware Ci.y believe what
Mr.. Derrickson says.

most OF their time in smoking and read
