Hon. Samuel Townsend, one of Della
wares most prominent citizens and {
fervent Democrat, writes to a Whining
ton paper to protest against grant by
the Legislature of two thousand dollars
year to Newark College upon two
grounds; One is the college some day
or other may admit "nigger" students,
and the other is that "forgeries, bur-
glaries, highway robberies" and other
desperate crimes are perpetrated by
educated men, 1t is perhaps not
necessary to discuss such question
upon such basis but we may say that
Mr.. Townsend is not only a living
argument in favor Of the Necessity for
a liberal education as means Of en-
abling men to use their mental tacul-
ties Alright, but he is very fair repre-
sentative of party which has per-
sstently refused to give to Delaware a
free school system. Townsend proba-
bly, has a dim consciousness that when
Delaware begins to educate her people
the Democratic party will lose its hold

THE TRADE DOLLAR.
Our Banks Refuse tO X eceive Tn em
on Deposit.

A simultaneous and combined move.
ment Of the Directors Of the respective
Banks in our city yesterday, resulted
in a refusal to receive the silver trade
dollar thereafter on deposit, and stimuli
taneous with such action cards were
displayed in The various Banks, bear
the inscription: TRADE dollars not re-
ceivad on deposit
Some little excitement was Occasioned
by the announcement as it was known
that the real bullion value of the trade
dollar was about 98 cents, but it soon
became apparent that there was no Sc
rious cause for alarm, for nobody had
a sufficient number on hand to cause
much loss, and it was also soon discov-
cred that the store keepers would take
them in trade at par, some of them at
first discounting them at two per cent?
In conversation with some Of the
Eank officers this morning, We were in
formed that on account of Philadelphia
and other cities having refused to re-
ceive them on deposit, they began to
accumulate SO fast in this city that they
became an annoyance. We were in
formed that for long time past they
were only received for 80 cents in the
lower part of the State, and when they
accumulated they were sent to this
city and traded of at par.
Throwing out bland silver dollar
this morning cashier said, "the trade
dollar in bullion is worth more than
that" but because Congress will not
make il legal tender,it is not worth as
much within ten cents" AS to what
is to become of the trade dollar, the
general impression amongst the bank
ers and merchants is, tnat it will
circulate still at dollar in trade but
would not be received on deposit at the
bank.
In calling upon several of our lead.
ing merchants this morning We found
that the trade dollar was received for
merchandise at par value, .he same as
if they were bankable.

A Woman white LabOrinE Unde
Insanity Hangs Herself- Inques
Held-The Evidence-The virdic
Of the Jury.
Yesterday shortly before IL o'clock
noon, Mrs. Catharine Canning residing
at No. 9O3 Lowering Avenue, commit.
ted suicide by hanging herself in the
kitchen near the door that leads to the
entry. Her two sons upon going home
to dinner found their mother hanging
to a piece of clothes line, which was
fastened to hook in the wall. Upon
adjusting the rope around her neck it is
thought she had evidently used the
chair as it was standing close by her.
Coroner Butz was notified and an in
quest was held yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock. The following is the evidence
given:
James D. Canning sworn:-Left home
at nine O'Clock, when mother appeared
to 10 well enough. Since my father
died, last November, she has at times
acted very strange, by yesterday she ap-
peared to be- out OF her mind. As
went home to dinner found her hang
ing in the room with a rope around
her neck, dead. Caught hold of her
while brother cut her down. She tried
to strangle herself or 7 weeks ago,
but we prevented her from doing so.
She is 4S years Of age.
Thomas Canning sworn:-Came home
to dinner when found mother dead
laying on the settee. Suppose she was
out Of her mind.
John P. Canning, sworn:-Mother
was, out of her mind; stoppe!. her sew.
eral weeks ago from strangling herself;
told mother this msrning would be
home soon.
Dennis Canning sworn : Since my
father died mother has been very bad
worrying about him. She seemed to
be all right this morning. Found her
laying on the settee.
DR.. Willard Springer sworn There
is a mark the usual size of clothes
line around her neck, that is undoubt-
edly the cause of her death. He
thought she should have been in the
Asylum where she would have been
watched and attended to.
"The jury rendered a verdict that
Catharine Canning came to her death
by hanging while laboring under in
sanity.
Mrs Canning leaves four sons, all of
whom are fortunately grown up.
