The Chief Eng ineer and the Deiin.
0uents.

Colonel Mclntire, Chief Engineer o1
the Water Works, has begun the work
of collecting back Indebtedness owed by
property holders which has been stand
ing on the books of the department.
He has ordered the collectors to notify
the parties that the ferrule will be
drawn and the supply Of water will be
stopped, and will not be turned on un-
til all Indebtedness is cancelled. In
some instances this has been done, and
the desired effect has been the result.
1t would be we'll to state that in any
case where the parties SO deprived are
discovered using Brandywine water
they will be proceeded against by the
Department, and he subjected to the
penalty imposed by ordinance.
Any person providing such individu-
al with water is also liable and will be
proceeded against accordingly. The
measures may be thought rigorous by
some but in view of the amount OF
money due the city and in considear-
tion of the injustice being done those
who are prompt in their payments, the
determination of the Chief Engineer is
a worthy one and will receive hearty
appreciation.

At the Police Court.

This morning there were three cases,
two against James McGovern for abusive
language in which So and costs were
imposed, which together in both cases
amounted to $l4.
The third was a case in which the
Mayor did not think that the taking of
a beer glass by party while the owner
was cognizant of the fact, was an in
tention to commit theft. The prisoner
was named James Darragh and the
complainant was Joseph Stoeckle. Ac-
cording to the evidence the prisoner
went into Mr.. StoecKle's saloon and
called for beer. He paid for the bever-
ege and being asked for a back bill
became enraged and declared that he
was going to keep The glass. He
walked out with The article and Mr..
Stoeckle followed. The prisoner refusing
to give it up Mr.. s. had warrant
taken out and the young man arrested
on the charge of larceny. The Mayor
dismissed the case.

APeiiceman sunstruck.

1t is to be feared that ever since that
Scheutzen Park affair some four or five
weeks ago, when officer d had
such terrible stroke Of coupe de soliel,
that he will be having a return of II
every little whip-stitch. Everybody
knows that this is very hot
day, but none felt its effects more than
this same officer, who had a return o.
his old malady. A popularity of this
disease is hat it always affects the knee
Joints with nervous weakness, and
giving way they bring down the victim
in such a ridiculous manner that
person not acquainted with officer
G.. might have thought he was drunk,
when his knees refused to do their du-
ty in Second St. Market this morning.
Fortunately however the sun struck
policeman found a place of rest from
the sun in a friendly restaurant in Sec
ond street until he partially recovered
from the attack. As the police who are
subject to "sun stroke" are anxious
for a curing remedy, we would in the
first place advise them to sign the Tenn
perancs pledge and in the second place
to keep it.

Daily Republican., 1879-07-17

Rev. Mr.. Jones thought 1t IN impossa-
bility TO keep matters secret in the
churches. The resolution would be Z
dead letter.
Rev. J. B. Mann, who had just ar
rived, gave the meeting some Of his
experience, and a. usual began by
considering the reporters. lls thought
there would be no difficulty about the
matter If the public press would be
trus to itself. He was inclined TO think
and gave expression to the thought
that the reporters reported falsely, first
because it created scandal and second.
ly because those people who buy the
papers would rather read such compost
tion.
Rev. Mr.. Sheppard, correcting Mr..
Mann informed him the resolution did
not refer to reporters.
~ am coming to that question, - said
Mr.. Mann; and then continued "these
church affairs would be bad enough II
they were reported correctly, but they
become unbesrable when they are re-
ported as they have been." He clos
cd with the expression "that he was
inclined to think that the public Press
of Wilmington had law Of itself"
Mr.. Houston closed the debate a1it,l
the "idea that there were influences ID
the church of which editors and repor-
ters knew nothing, and consequently
they should not interfere. They should
not above all things take into their
hands the character OF the ministry.
He called upon the association to attri-
butte the matter to the proper ones and
let them be smirched."
Rev. DR.. Caldwell thought the reso.
luton too dictatorial and offered a
slight modification. In presenting the
amendment he incidentally remarked
that Wilmington wasn't any worse than
other cities.
Mr.. Houston, promptly-Oh, yes it is.
DIR. Caldwell-Oh, no 1t isn't.
Mr.. Houston subsided and the reso.
luton slightly modified was adopted

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

CHICAGO, April 2.-The great Democratic
victory achieved in Chicago, is surprise
even to the Democrats themselves, who had
hardly dared to hope for 50 complete an
overthrow of the power that has SO long
dominated in our municipal politics. The
victory is all the more brilliant and valuable
from the fact it was secured in the face OF
the strongest opposition the Republicans
could bring to bear. The election of the
entire Democrtic city ticket, by about three
thousand majority, against SO strong
ticket as the Republicans put up, means
conclusively that Chicago is Democratic
CITY. Carter H. Harrison, the Democratic
nominee for Mayor, was no stronger in his
party than H. NJ. Wright, his Republican
opponent, was in his own party. Other
men on the ticket are about equal in point
of individual and party strength, with the
odds, if anything, in favor of the Repub-
licans. The Republican leaders are over
whelmed with chagrin and surprise, and the
Democrats celebrate their victory with eX'
uberance. They have not had chance to
shout for many years.

Africa as Seen by DIR. David.

To the Editor Of the Comet:
Your correspondent had the pleasure
with many others, of listening to the Rev
Mr. David on last Sabbath at the Mt. Helm
Baptist Church, to description of Central
Africa, its climate, manners. customs, re-
ligion and general character of its people,
also its various productions.
The reverend gentleman spoke in glow
ing terms of its climate, which he repre'
sents as very peasant-the range OF the
thermometer being from go to 80 degrees
and the land being productive in
the highest degree, obtaining two
crops yearly from all farm pro-
ducts, and pla ting cotton once in toul
wears, gathering four and sometimes hVe
crops from one planting, and the hoe-a
rude one-the only implement used IN cul4
tivation.
The people are social, shrewd and witty,
but very revengeful when lnauited. Inc
omen sharp, keen, and they do all the
-ellinp, "Orlo' is the women's terror, ano

of the future of that country, pecunlarlll

turn, and his heart is evidently in his work

Error to the Circuit Court of Montgom-

This suit involves the construction of sec

that the jurisdiction of every justice OF the

and he may issue any process in matters
within his jurisdiction, to be executed IN
any part of his county, but every free
holder or householder of the county shall
be sued in the district in which he resides,
if there be Justice acting therein, and
qualified to try such suit, or in the district
in which the debt was contracted. the liabll-
itv incurred, or in which the property may
be found.
The defendants in error contracted the
debt and executed deed in trust in favor

diction. The motion beiog overruled, and
