The Pavement not Wide Enough,
for Him

George Billion, was arrested on Water
street, near Market, yesterday morning,
by officer Brickel. At the hearing at
the police Court last evening, officer
Brickel stated that the pavement was
hardly wide enough for the man. He
had told him several times to leave but
he would not take any notice to VIII at he
said. The officer arrested him and on
bringing the prisoner to the hall he used
very abusive language. The prisoner
said he had been doing nothing to be
arrested, and he thought it scandalous
that a person should be arrested for
walking the street. Officer Brickle said
that officer Carey had spoken to him
before about kicking over a wheelbar-
row. The prisoner was fined 81. 90 and
costs.

Post Office and Railroad Time
Table,

Owing to the cutting down of the
appropriation in the Post Office Depart.
ment, Postmasters cannot afford to ad-
vertise the time for the delivery and
closing of the mails. In this emergen-
cy the Ferris Bros, at No. 10, East
Third Street, have conceived the happy
expedient of publishing the time of the
closing, and arrival OF malls on one
side of five by three inch card, while
on the other side is the railroad time
table. These cards are just the thing
for all business men to have, and they
can be procured by calling at the office

CITIZENS OF WILMINGToN:-Ever since
my return to my home in this city
have walked the streets amazed at the
injustice of many people who seemed
to have lost all reason and ever ready
to condemn me without evidence cause
or consideration for my feelings. My
past labors for the poor slave of drink,
the words Of sympathy and the tear.
that l have mingled together with
them: the days and nights of toll, the
years that have lahored, and the
PONIES that have through kind provi-
'dsnce been made happy have been en-
tirely lost sight of and without Judge
or Jury, have been condemned.
Would it not be well for US to stop
one moment and consider. Suppose We
look into our souls and with heart
free from prejudice inquire, what -vi
dence have we to pass judgment with
out knowledge of guilt. What kind Of a
Heavenly Father would We have should
he conde mn us as we do our brother
man and hurl him down to perdition
without knowledge that the creature
had sinned against the law of God No
the being we love and worship never
did nor never will, do such a cruel
thing! Little did l think that in chris
tian America, much less in the City of
Wilmington, such wrong would ever
be perpetrated on any man wether
black or white, heather or christian,
much less on one who in days gone by
in this city felt so deeply for the woes
of others.
Now citizens of Wilmington. | shall
soon leave you to go out into the world
to labor for the fallen !; but before do
so you who have condemned me with
out cause should summons he to appear
before the proper authorities to answer
the charge You have made against me.
My friends should also join in this de-
mand. Especially should the commit.
tee join heart and hand in this request,
who demanded Of Bro. Geo. W. Wells
any and all knowledge he possessed
against me and Mrs. Watson.
should have fair and impartial
hearing before justice or any tri-
bunal il this city, and if am proven
guilty of undure intimacy with Mrs.
Watson by positive evidence, then be-
fore the world let me stand condemned;

tain me and help me oget redress flom
