Geology.

In consequence of the Interruptions
on Monday night last, Prof. Cunning
will giysisix more lectures on ls;s ia Vor-
ite subject, commencing this evening q,
7.45 precisely. The Newtown, (Pa. J
Enterprise" referring to course Of
lectures given recently in that town,
says: e-.
"Prof. Cunning is not only master of
his subject, but he is also master of the
art of presenting 1t to an unscientific
audience in other words, he knows as
few do, how to popularize it. Gifted
with lively and poetic imagination
and good command of language, his
word pictures are indeed vivid, and
combined with his admirable crayon
sketches on the canvass, bring the
scenes and animals which he depicts
before his hearers with wonderful re
ality. Then the whole is frightened
by apt and humorous anecdotes which
illuminate both the subject and the
minds Of the audience. Few men know
so well how to make grim science at
once attractive and instructive, delight
full and profitable.
1t is to be hoped that our citizens
will avail themselves of this opportu-
nifty to hear course of first-class scien-
tiic lectures by gentleman endorsed
by the best authorities in the country.
The price is only one dollar for the
course.

A Muiish Freak.

Yesterday evening about half.past
five o'clock, a, mule attached To a cart
belonging to David Lemon, which had
been left in the rear THAT gentleman's g
store on Shipley street below Second,
suddenly started for the stable. Proba-
bly, the mule thought it was about time
to return for supper, or he had sudden
ly thought OF something at the stable
that needed looking after. Be tina. as
IL may the mule started, and when he
did start it was no walking match
gait, but a sort OF go. as-you-please ar
rangement, and when he wheeled at
the corner OF Second street, up which
street he headed, his pace would have
done credit to the turf. Up Second to
Orange he sped, and in turning that
corner he came very near dislocatipg
the corner Of Mr.. Beeson's stove store,
which checked his mad career slightly,
so that when he reached the stable a
diminutive darky brought him to a full
stop. This ended the race, the mule
was secured, little cussing done to
round the affair off nicely, and all the
excitement was over.

A WHOLE DOCK FULL.
A Band OF HOOpfn', HOllertn' and
SWearin' BOYS.

The dock at the police court was
chock full of juvenile depravity at the
opening this morning. Four white and
one colored youth sat upright on the
well worn bench. while Mr.. Albert
Belts, his wife and daughter each told
the story of the wrongs they had suf.
fered at the hands and mouths of the
band. According to the evidence these
boys were part of gang who infsst the
neighborhood of Fifth and Tatnall
streets, and disturb the peace and
quietness of the residents of that sec.
tion, converting the quiet air of twilight
into a sort of miasmatic breeze, as Mr.
Belts testified, by their "hoopin', hol
lerin' and cussin'."
Last evening, according to the testi
mony of all the witnesses, the boys be,
came more obstreperous than usual,
and when Mr., Mrs. and Miss Belts
gently demonstrated with them, they
cursed the whole family, and dared Mr..
Belts to come out and fight it out, and
when that gentleman refused they call
ed him an adjecDived coward, and
threatened to tear the whole establish
ment up.
The coloref youth was the spokes-
man of the boys and questioned the
several witness, and eLdeavored to turn
States evidence against couple of his
chums but His Honor thought that the
evidence was sufficient to convict and
fined four of the boys fifty cents and
costs each. The smallest, he not being
recognized, was discharged.
Just as the court had adjourned Off
Ger Bernhardt cane in nth William
McGinnis, another of the band, and
William was given an immediate hear
ing. The evidence being the same in
this case as the last, and William being
fully Unidentified, he was also fined fifty
cents and costs.

Special Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN,
FARvIEw PARK, DOVER, Sept. "a.
The attendance was large, some 5000
people being on the grounds. The
special trains from down the road were
filed while those from up the road
were moderately filed. There were a
great many ladies present presumably
brought together for the purpose of
witnessing the tournament.
Shortly before. ten o'clock the various
knights appeared on the track and
spent some time in practising. Their
attire was one of those mysteries that
time alone can fathom. 1t is difficult
to understand and just now what mo-
tive could have SO acted upon a mans
mind that he should appear as aknigh,
in regulation army cap or a pair Of
blue flannel trowsers trimmed with
white. And when knight of old went
forth in his guest for adventures it is a
matter of extreme doubt in our minds
as to whether he donned a blue and
white base ball cap and a helmet
and vizor. These gentlemen may have
some good ideas on some things, but
they are some what questionable on cos
tunes.
The knights were called to the judges
stand at 10 o'clock and the fitting be-
gan Immediately thereafter. The course
comprised $50 yards with rings sus
pended from wires at intervals Of so feet
the rings are 2 inches in diameter. The
ridering was of ordinary merit and as
the result shows, but little skill was
displayed by the majority.
The following gentlemen were enter
ed:
"still Pond" W. E. DeForn, of Still
Pond, Md.
"Glendola," j. Griffin Clements, o

"Of the Lance, NV. .F.Kennedy, of Mid

A Prominent Lawyer Bounced.

The following scene is reported ia
have taken place in the Office of an up
town afternoon daily paper.
Enter a prominent lawyer with all
the dignity and pomposity that his for
mer position as Secretary of State had
conferred upon him. Walking up to
the proprietor, the following dialogue
ensued:
Lawyer-Mr. j., Pd like to have a
letter from you recommending Mr.. Gray
for States Attorney.
Mr.. We'll, sir, if Mr.. Gray wishes
a letter from me should think it was
worth enough for him to ask it.
Lawyer-(rather testily,) Yes, Mr.. J.
that is your reputation all over this
State. You will not do favor for man
unless he first places himself under OBJ
legations to you.
Mr.. J.-Thlt, sir, is false, such is not
my habit nor is it my reputation, and
now sir, | want you to leave my office,
and that at once. Now, go sir.
And the digniied ex-Secretary, it is
said, Immediately bounced.

The "Republican" stops a Run.
away.

A little before six o'clock last even
ing, horse attached to furniture car,
in front Of the Bank at Third and
Market streets, started off for little
walk down Market street. "Shorty,"
the barber for Mr.. Valentine just below
Third, seeing the steed advancing
without a driver, rushed out in the
street and made frantic endeavors to
stop him, but the horse walked on,
merely shaking his head as though he
didn't care much for BARRIERS. If lei
alone perhaps the horse might have
been walking yet, but seeing the fruit
less effort Of Shorty, Johnny walked Out
in the street with copy of the DAILY
REPUBLICAN in his hand and no sooner
did he hold the paper mp to the ami
maPs view than he stopped short, as
though some item in its columns had
struck his fancy. Thus it is there's no
telling what good live paper may do

Learning accidentally, yesterday af-
ternoon, that number of cattle in the
western part of the city We're attacked
with some sort of a contagious disease.
arepor.er of the REpUBsIcAN started out
in search of facts regarding the case.
Having heard that DR.. George T. Fal-
lows, veterinary surgeon, had been
called upon to attend some of the cases.
that gentleman was visited at his Office
IN the White Horse hotel, End and Tat
hall streets, and on being asked the
nature OF the disease, he emphatically
pronounced in the Texas fever. Il
The DOCTORS attention was first called
to the presence of the disease about
Two weeks ago, when he found sever
al COWS belonging to Mr. Denny. at
BroWntown, suffering, one of which
was in the first stages of the disease,
rms animal with careful treatment the
doctor has been able to cure and
the COW is now really recovered. Five
OF MIR. Dsnny's stock alone have been
attacked, and in three of these the dis
ease has resulted fatally. The disease
is very contagious, and operates very
sSiftly upon an animal when once at.
tackled. 'the symptoms are: loss of ap-
petite; rapid falling away in flesh and
general weakness. When allowed to
run its course the disease generally
proves fatal in from three to five days.
In addition to Mr.. Denny's loss q
Mr.. Webb, in the same neighborhood,
had one fatal case, and quite number
of others in the neghborhood are more
or less affected.
Quite number of cattle have died
in the vicinity of Newport one gentle
man alone, Mr.. I. N. Finn, losing
nine, and quite number of others one
and two each, and it is further report
cd that the disease is spreading.
DR.. Fallows states that iftaken in its
first stages the disease can readily be
cured but if allowed to run two DAYS or
more it almost immediately proves ia
tai. The disease also effects the milk
of COW attacked, and great care should
be exercised by those furnishing milk
to our citizens that it be not impregna-
ted with the disease.
The presence Of the disease may be
traced to the fact of some of our farmers
allowing their cattle to herd with Tex
an stock brought here for butchering
purposes.

The following is the summary of the
fitting:

The Knight of Queen Ann took tw'
rings on the first tilt, hut dropped them
off his lance in reversing it, and dis
mounted to find them, which is against
the rules. The Judges declined to re,
ceive and count them. The "knight
of the Lance" took one ring on the
second tilt but not making time the
judges ruled it out.
White Cross, Talbot and Reckless
had the scores for first, second and
third money, and Glendola and Lone
Star for fourth money. The Judges
announced that those Knights would
tilt Thursday morning at IL O'Clock to
decide who were the victors.
The Judges were Mr.. VanOstin, c.
Churchman and Col. Page Grand Mar
shal-Addison B. Gooding, Esq, assist
ants, John 8. Jester, and George II.
Virden.
THE RACES.
The estimation in which Sher-
man Morgan is held has considerably
fallen, he having been beaten in every
race. Last year the ladies were en-
thusiastic and this year great antici-
pations were held for him. Many a
dainty glove or other articles of fem
inc wear exchanged hands on the re-
suit. 1t is very seldom the Dover la
dies can be approached with careless
ness but as their expectation ran yes
terday they certainly did commit grave
indiscretions, such as would horrify
the conscience of country deacon.
The interest held out to the end.
There was considerable complaint from
those present over the jockeying so
manifest throughout the heats of the
2.29 race. The people of course didn't
understand but the heavy groaning
came from those betting on favorites.

ALL is not lovely In the Republi.
can camp of Los Angeles county.
Personal chickering's to the extent
of actual Generalization are rend-
ing the organization In two. The
suave and insinuating Perkins is
powerless to heal this breach; and,
lamentable to say, the number OF
Republicans who are ready to re-
pudiate their Gubernatorial nomi-
nee is simply legion. AS for the
Democracy, they are compact and
invincible. Their losses can be re-
duced to a mathematical problem
whose certainty is only disturbed
by the multitude of workiDgmen
who are returning to the fold.
Maugre all defections, they are
masters of the situation. AS for
the IN. G. P.'s," they will make
simply q pitiable exhibit. If the
Democracy of the rest of Califor-
MIA are AS hopeful, consistent and
pnswerving as their brethren OF
Los Angeles, they will achieve q
glorious triumph in September.
If they shall prove to lack the 10y
atty to party and the devotion to
principle which prevail here, we
shall nevertheless give them o
shining example by which they
may pattern in the future.
