SUPERINTENDENT

We have been little troubled with
the abbreviation for Superintendent
Not long ago writer's for the TELE-
GRAPH, if we remember right, wrote
Supt for Superintendent. Recently
they write Sup't as the abbreyiation
1t may be a question which IS best
Webster gives Supt. for abbreyiation
and it is perhaps best for writers te
follow Webster, or else write the word
in full

Is there a phantom balloon floating
above us? Reports continue to come

Democratic N usi ng rs.

A dispatch from Washington, Oct.
10th, says: A Democrat OF National
standing and high official position who
has Just returned from Ohio, in refer
ring to the causes Of the defeat Of his
party, gives pointed account of the
bitter feud between the friends Of Gen
eral Ewing and those of Senator Thur
man.
He says that under the surface OF
things, to those who were allowed to
know the situation, it was source Of
constant astonishment to note the in
tense hate which these factions had for
each other. The divisions between them
were much sharper than those be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
parties. This gentleman says they
were such as to account in great
measure for the late defeat. He re-
CARDS the situation as disgraceful to the
Democratic party, and the conduct ol
the leaders of the factions as inexcus
able.
The Washington "Post" this morning
finally discovered that there has been
an election in Ohio. 1t says:
The Democrats have suffered a bad
reverse il Ohio. This is disheartenine
Intelligence. We have never had much
faith that Ohio would enroll itself in
the Democratic column this Fall as the
result OF the general fight, for in oui
opinion i, is Republican State when
square issue is made between the two
parties before the people. But the Dem
ocrats, we think, should certainly have
been able to retain the Senator. Tht
result is probably due more than any
thing else to the unfortunate stand O.
General Ewing on the financial ques
ton. The people of Ohio evidently
do not believe in soft money. On the
whole, we think it is about time for thu
Democratic party to recognize the fac
that this is hard money country. Lee
it return to its old.time principles ant
act in everv instance according ly.

This morning, at few minutes be,
fore twelve o'clock, young man
named Rash, employed on the "Marga.
ret Platter, was shot in the righ,
lung, the ball entering a short distance
below and to the left Of the arm pit.
The shooting was purely accidental
and occurred in this manner: Rash
and another young man were together
in the cabin Of the schooner. Rash's
companion was engaged in shaking
the quilts Of the bunk when the edge
Of the quilting caught, somehow in the
trigger of revolver which was laying
in the bunk. The pistol went off and
the ball took effect in Rash's breas,
in the spot above described.
Rash Immediately started for the
Office OF DR.. Maull, which he reached al
quickly as possible. The wound bled
profusely and the shirt of the youn;
man was thoroughly saturated. The doc
tor probed for the ball for some tim,
but without success it having lodged il
the lung tissues. The wound was
bandaged up and the patient sent Il
his home in West Wilmington.
Rice exonerates his companion from
all blame in the matter. The schooner
was just preparing to leave the whar
wher the accident occurred. The doc
tor thinks that with proper care nj
dangerous result need BE- apprshended
Rash is about tweIty-one years of ag'
and seemed to look upon the shooting
as q trivial affair.

AFunerai from Bridgeton

To-day with the incoming Of the 9.l0
train, there was to arrive in Whining
ton the corpse OF Jacob Garretson from
Bridgeton. Much to the surprise Of
many Of the friends 1t did not arrive.
Upon investigation it was discovered
that the cortege had arrived in Phila-
delphia, but the corpse had been de-
tanned elsewhere. The deceased about
twenty five years ago lived in this city
and carried on the shoe business. He
moved from this city to Philadelphia
where he entered with his son James,
the practice Of dentistry. The latter
has since then become celebrated as a
practitioner in surgery and an author.
AT twelve o'clock the expected corpse
came down and was taken to the Bran
dywine cemetery where it was inferred
shortly after. Mr.. Garretson died at
Bridgeton during the early part OF this
week, suddenly, having been found in
his bed lifeless. He had retired dur.
ing the evening preceding in appar'
emily good hesith.

A Milkman's Mishap.

This morning, as milk wagon be
ing driven by John II. Thompson, OF
Brandywine Hundred, was coming over
the Brandywiue, the horse became
frightened, and swerving suddenly,
threw the carriage on its side. There
was a great rafting of tin, and directly
following the accident the street was
covered with loose cans, measures, etc.
Fortunately for the milkman the lids
were secured by spring fastenings, and
the liquid only came out slowly. The
horse had stopped after the mishap
occurred, and no further damage was
done. The carriage was righted and
the cans were placed back in the vehi-
Gle. The team started, sustaining a
delay of only ten minutes and the loss
of about two gallons of milk.

THE COMING NAN.

Hama lArf "a

senator nay ards - Room, " for the
Presidency --hs Will Arrive at
Home Oct. 70.
Senator Bayard will sail for home In
the steamer Mosel, from Southampton,
on Oct. 26. He went abroad in the
summer, accompanied by his wife, os-
tensibly for the health of the latter,
and they spent some time at some OF
the German spas, from which she re-
turns much improved in health.
A Philadelphia correspondent Of the
New York "Times," in referring to the
matter says there are manifest indica-
tions of a purpose to receive Mr.. Bay
ard, when he arrives, with open de-
monstrations of welcome-such shout
ings and toastings as shall start real
'boom" in his behalf.
In that city, says the correspondent,
the anti-Randall faction of the Dem
ocracy, those who obtained seats in the
late State Convention, to the exclusion
of ex Mayor Vaux and his folks, are
disposed to take hand in the welcome,
and Deputy Sheriff George McGowan,
who is one of the actual, If not fully
accepted potentates in this faction, de
clares that "John Kelly will get ZOO
600 votes, and that settles Tilden, "
and adds that "when Senator Bayard
returns from Europe he will receive a
rousing reception"
To the Senator himself this inclination
of the Sheriff gang" will not, perhaps,
be very welcome, for, oddly enough,
the more respectable Democracy OF
Philadelphia are in the Vaux move
ment, under the patronage of Randall
and devoted to Mr.. Tilden, leaving only
the more unsavory elements to rend
the zenith with their shouts for Bayard
and the latter would no doubt prefer
that his banner should be borne, even
here, by the gloved hands.
But his advisers and body-guards in
Wilmington have not been inclined, q,
any rate, to encourage the reception
business. They think 1t quite as Judi
cious not to start "boom" at all, mol
to let the idea get abroad that there is
any organized movement to make him
President. 1t appears to them that all
things are working together in his be-
half, and that while his competitors
are being successively crippled, shelv
ed, or beaten, he remains not only ur
hurt, but with his financial record sup
ported, his antagonism to imitation
justified, and his judgment in favor o.
resumption commended to the people
by the prosperity which accompanies it,
