"With my whole heart and soulm
There was fervency, n depth of feel
ing, in this exclamation, accompanied
by the flushed cheeks, the sparkling eye
and tremulous hand that rested in the
palm of her father, which spoke her soul
full earnestness.
"Well, if that's the case" said Col,
Spencer, throwing away his cigar, ''all
I've got to say is you are both confound-
ed simpletons if you don't get mar
ried-therem
This was q consent with considerable
emphasis.
Poor Geraldine! the proud, brave girl
broke down at last. She knew it would
be terrible sacrifice for her father to
yield her to another, and she held the
gravest doubts of ever receiving his as
sent; but he gave it so promptly and
willingly, that she could only throw her
arms about his neck and murmur be-
tween her sobs-
You're the best father that ever liv-
ed, and l hate to leave you"
"Never mind about that" he replied,
soothingly, II know it will be your hap
piness to do so. I could never forgive
myself if stood in your way. l shall
fix you in a house to suit myself, and
then l shall live with you about five
fifths of the time If either or both un-
dertake to interfere with me, shall put
you both out the house."
The happy Geraldine gave her father
another hug, and seemed loath to leave
him; but he said:
"Come, daughter; Sydney, l know, is
waiting for your answer. Go and tell
him. hope he will feel better"
81 know he will," was the laughing
utterance of Geraldine, as she tripped
away.
Sydney Williams was but short dis
tance off. AS the father turned his heac
to follow his daughter, he saw the mans
head, covered with its huge, curly wig
resting upon his arms, as though he wer'
asleep-though that was hardly possible
under the circumstances.
As Geraldine passed beyond she caugh
sigh. of her lover, and turned abrupt.
and approached him so softly that HI
did not hear her.
He had thrown his head forward OF
: his arms, resting on the stand, and h
formed strange figure in his Englisl
suit of former generation.
Geraldine stood moment, with throb
bing heart, looking down upon and ad
miring him; then, seized by suddel
fancy, she stepped closer, and, leanin
over, gently touched his hand wit
: the sprig of magnolia, which she stil
held.
Sydney moved as though it were fly
|; and then she laughed in a low, sof
l merry way, which caused him to rails
i his head and look longingly up in th
: beautiful face.
i "Oh, speak!' he gasped, "has he COZ
= sentedP"
The poor fellows whole soul was
a the question, and she saw how cruel
It was to keep him in suspense.
II "He says he thinks we will be simpl
tons if we don't marry each other"
J. Sydney caught her in his arms, and
II may be said the contract was sealed the
and there.

Htnsh Ward Poie Raising.

A pole was raised in the Ninth Ward
on Saturday evening by the Martin
Democratic club. They were assisted
by the Bayard club, Of the Eighth
Ward, who were accompanied by the
Millard band. The pole, which is rs
feet high, was erected at the interseo.
tion of the Concord pike and Market
street. The flag was drawn almost to
the top, when q knot slipped, and
down Il fell. This made 1t necessary
for some one to climb the pole and ar
range the ,pe. This hazardous task
was performed by VIM. Carson who
was constantly cheered by the crowd.
After the American colors were proudly
floating at the top Of the pole the meet.
ing was called to order, and VIM. No
Menamin was elected President; Adam
Orr, Vice President; and George Barn
hill, Secretary; ii. R. Pennington and
Il. G. sharpley, Esqs., and others de-
livered addresses. Cheers were given
for the Martin club and also for Han
cock and Rnglish.

Homo of Fair Play lu the south.

Washington, Aug. 5.-dsneral Sy-
pher, an ex.membsr Of congress from
Louisiana, who Ia we'll acquainted with
the current Of political affairs in the
Southwest, says that the Democrats
have the undoubtedpower to cary every
thing in that section by their usual
fraudulent methods. He thinks how
ever, that they will be convinced, If the
State elections in Ohio and Indiana are
favorable to the Republicans, that there
is nothing further to be gained by hold
ing the South solidly for the Democra-
cy. aud that in Louisiana, at least, the
Democratic leaders will seek to make
terms with the Republicans before the
Presidential election. They can offer
simply to let the election proceed with
out violence, and to have a fair count
of the votes, which would give the
State Of Louisiana to the Republicans;
but what they can hope to secure in
return beyond the State offices which
they now hold, is not 80 clear.

His weight at that time was 1891
pounds, and during the next 10 days
he lost only Al pounds, or little less
than s ounces per day, against 81
ounces per day OF the preceding eight.
At the end Of the twentisth day he
was in better physical condition than
at the end Of the tenth day, as his pho
tographs and the testimony Of the ply
sicians clearly evinoe. During the
third 10 days he lost at the daily rate
Of IL ounces, bat no serious symptoms
appeared until he had completed 30
days OF his term. The elimination of
urea, which was 20 grammes a day
when the fast commenced, declined
gradually. until at the END Of the tenth
day it was IA grammss, at the end Of
the twentieth about IL grsmmes and at
the end Of the thirtieth s grammes.-
The method Of determination adopted
by DR.. Van Der Wsyde was an orig
inal but extremely accurate one-ap
oxalic acid test based upon the idea of
taking advantage Of the insolubility
in alcohol. His data are accordingly
OF high scientific value.
Near the conclusion Of the third 10
days, Dr.. Tanner began to have period
ical attacks Of nausea and vomiting, ac.
companied by febrils disturbance. The
slight fever REQUIRED every third day,
the gastric symptoms being . great deal
worse at each recurrence Of the fever,
but never disappearing altogether. In
this condition he has gone on for the
last 10 days Of his extraordinary per
formance, growing feebler and feebler
as the days wore slowly on, but main.
tanning his resolution to finish, or al
least hold ont to the last extremity.
With what pluck and heroism he bore
his suhsrings those who have been
with him only too we'll know. That he
should continue in this way for 10 days
ejecting fragments Of mucous membrane
daily, and finally commence taking
food without q single attack Of nausea
from the moment Of terminating hii
fast, 10 the most extraordinary fact O.
all.

Because the new Garbage Contractor
in the Fourth District failed to proper.
ly discharge his duties, and there were
80 many complaints on that account,
the Board Of Health held special ses-
sion on Saturday evening.
Col. Moore, Chairman of the Gar
bage Committee, stated that from the
Fourth District during the past week,
the complaints have been very numer-
Gus, nineteen in one day, and all from
people who would not complain with
out just cause. The contractor, Davis
]. Geary, entered upon his duties last
Monday. The ordinance requires him
to 60 over the district once day, but
he has not been ever it all the entire
week. From the other districts the
Chairman stated that he had received
but three complaints, two from the
second and one from the first. Clerk
Frazer stated that he had also received
numerous complaints from the Fourth
District. Col. Moore referred to ter
rible stencil in Catawaba street, as 1
specimen of the contractors failure tt
perform his duty.
An opinion that the contractor Is moi
competent to carry out his contract was
expressed by President Singley, who
advised the adoption Of resolution
asking Council to snnul the contract.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Kelly, in
structing the Garbage Committee to put
on the additional carts necessary to per
form the work, the expense thereof to
be deducted from the bill Of the con
tractor, prevailed.
President slngley stated that he haf
been present at an inquest held few

unfit for human habitation and thu

the Association adjourned to meet nNxt
Saturday evening.
Mr.. Mellon sharply raised point O.
order, and, coon after getting the floor.
said he was opposed to the Committee
on Conference. He wanted to show no
quarter to the opposition, except that
which they could get by attending the
meeting, moving to change the rules
and voting on that. It WAS absurd
for nine men to dictate politics to the
citizens.
The chair suggested postponement
for one week, and Mr.. Mellon made Q
motion to that effect with all the pre-
cision OF an automaton.
"Ars you ready for the question :"
asked the chair.
"No, no, no, howled = chorus Of

A man named Kane, whose blunder-
ing talk was suggestive Of q head moi
altogether clear, made speech in op'
position TO the motion.
Mr.. Toner did not want it postpOn-
cd. He wanted the thing decided now
and made a speech urging immediate
acton. He moved to amend the motion
to postpone, and empower. the chair Il
appoint the two men on the Commit
tee.
Mr.. Mellon and Mr.. Quinn, both
loud d-mouthed and reckless, had agreat
deal to say and were not choice in theil
language. So when Mr.. Quinn had
savagely attacked Mr.. Turner for wing
ing in such q report, and the amend
ment Of Mr.. Toner'S had been lost. Mr.
Turner Sharply moved that action on
the report be indefinitely postponed,
"We can stand it said he, If the AS

to Prove Fatal, From . Follow
workman, During DisPute.
On Saturday afternoon John Batssn
and Benjamin Lockman. two colored
men, became engaged In a dispute st
Fourth street wharf, when Bsston kick
ed Lsckman in the stomach, indieting
injuries which are likely to prove fa-
tai.
Bstson is q brother of the boy who
WAS killed in the Ninth Ward about a
year ago by little "Billy" Brown, dur
ing a discussion over base ball bat.
He is an owner Of horses and carts, and
on Saturday was engaged by Mr.. D. W.
Chandler, the Fourth street coal deal
or, to haul coal 20 his yard from boat
which lay at the wharf. Leckman Is
employed by Mr.. Chandler, and was
directed 10 go with Batson and assist
him in unloading the coal. 1t seem
that the two negroes were not on good
terms and Lockman demonstrated, say
ing he did not like Batson, and did not
care to work for him. "You can get
along all right" replied Mr.. Chandler,
"you are working for me and not for
Batson." Without further parley Lock
man did as ordered.
The two soon disagreed. Batson
was overbearing and became angersd
because the horse at times pulled the
coal buckets out Of Lockerman's reach
causing delay in the work. He cursed
Lockman, and the other replied hotly.
In few minutes Batson ran at his as
sistsnt and insulted him. Lockman
resisted, and Batson kicked him heavi.
ly in the pit Of the stomach. |" Take
that said he, and If you give me any
more impudence I'll kick your heart
ont" Lookman fell back almost render
cd insensible from the effect Of the kick
and unable TO walk. Soon afterwards
he was taken in horse-cart to
his home in South Wilmington on Lo-
Gust street above B. Here he was at
tended by DR.. I. NJ. Hazelett, who pro.
nouncsd the man in Tery dangerous
condition. The result Of the kick was
a very extensive and painful rupture.
which is likely to result in death. Bat
son who lives in Jessup's Row in the
9th Ward, was arrested by officer John
Cloud Saturday night. He is still in
the hall awaiting the result Of Look
mars injury.
Lockman is man Of about 60 years.
He was slave at Port Penn, and with
his wife came to Wilmington about q
year ago. He has no children. The
assault appears to have been wholly
unwarranted and unprovoked.
A REPUBLICAN reporter visited Lock
man to day and took his statement. He
said that he had gone to work with Bat
son against his will for they ,ould not
get along we'll together. He tried to do
the work but because the coal buckets
were raised higher than his head Bat
son got mad and kicked him. Before
kicking, Batson used ''sharp word"
at him and he gave it back. The as
sault, he says, was wholly unprovoked,
and he gave not the slightest cause for
anger.
It lis said that after the kicking Bat
son went to Lockman and wanted to
settle the case for a dollar. Lookman
refused at first, but finally agreed to
say nothing for two dollars. This was
paid, and soon afSerward Batson was
arrested.
