Serenaded.


On Monday evening, after the re-
suit of the primary election in this
county was known, the Butler Cornet
Band of this place called at the Office
Of j. d. McJunkin, Esq, the nomi-
nee for Congress and honored him
with what is termed serenade. Mr..
McJunkin returned thanks in a few
brief and neat remarks and counseled
moderation and harmony in the ranks
of the party in the county. The Band
also called at the Office of John M.
Greer, Esq, the successful candidate
for the Senate nomination of the
county, who also returned his thanks
for the honor of the visit. A. M. Cum
ningham, ESQ.,, the successful candi-
date for District Attorney, was next
called upon at his Office, in the Brady
Law Building, and also in few well
chosen words returned thanks. DIR.
Bell, one of the successful candidates
for the Assembly, who was in town at
his hotel, the Willard House, was also
visited, and returned thanks for the
compliment The affair was pleasant
throughout.
The Democratic delegates from this
Congressional district to the State
Convention agreed upon M. Allen, of
Titusville, and E. P. Gillespie, ESQ.,,
of this place, as delegates to Cincin-
natl; but by some hocus pocus ar
rangement, another set of delegates
appeared, with L. McQuiston, of But
Ter, and J. B. Brawley, of Meadville,
to represent the district at Cincinnati.
These latter gentlemen were success
full in receiving recognition as the legal
delegates. 1t is said their seats will be

ON A Wastarn Trim.

Some time ago Messrs. John W. Tal-
ley of this city and Samuel Darlington,
of Newark, left Wilmington for Colora-
do in charge of some new cars from the
Jackson & Sharp Company. Mr.. Talley
has written home some interesting let
ters, detailing the experiences Of the
trip. In the first two received he tells
about the journey from Wilmington to
Cincinnati. Letter No. is dated al
Eaton's Tunnel where the train was
compelled to wait for several hours un-
til food subsized and corps of men
could clear the track of deep laying
mud which had been washed upon it,.
An experience with half breeds is thus
related in the second letter. "We stop
ped at a small place iu Ohio called
Hamden. Here we had the pleasure Of
seeing some half breeds. Some were
on the train and the conductor jocular-
ly urged us to go into the csboose with
them, but we declined from reasons
that will presently appear. We soon
noticed the front conductor standing on
the platform just before we reached a
place called Raysville. Here are some
more half breeds. The conductor held
revolver in kis hand until we passed
the place. The train hands have Or
ders to shoot the first one dead who Of
fers molestation. 1t was only last week
that they attacked car and broke the
windows"
From the tone of the letters both Mr..
Talley and Mr.. Darlington are having
a pleasant time.

HAsTY LEVY COURT.
The Approaching Sale OF the De.
partmenf Offiees-Likelyt to Leave
the Offlcials Out I'm the lOld.

The Levy Court have advertised the
old City buildings at Fourth and Mar
ket streets for sale. The Building
Committee have taken this action as
they desire to commence the work Of
grading the lot. Already much has
been said against this action by the
City Councilmen and the officials.
They all desire that the Water and
Engineering Departments may be al
lowed to occupy the building until the
New City Building at Sixth and King
streets Is completed.
The objection urged against the re-
moval of the water department Office is
that ii would have to take up temporary
quarters elsewhere and people owing
water tax could have plea that they
did not know where the Department
had moved to.
The most serious objection raised in
the Surveying Department is that re-
moval might put the department docu-
ments, value $40, 900, in danger of b.
ing stolen. 1t is also held that the
business required certain facilities, for
its satisfactory execution which the re-
moval would take away.
Some people express surprise that
the buildings should be advertised as
they cannot see why it is necessary
that they be taken away as yet. The
Building Committee already have
three sides of the lot 10 work upon.
Meantime the matter is in the hands
of the Council Committees on Opening
Street and Water. 1t is the intention
to send delegates from these committees
to communicate with the Levy Court.
The subject will probably come up in
Council tonight. The city clerk has
already notified the Levy Court OF the
city's position, and a meeting of the
representatives Of the two bodies will
be had, it is expected, on Monday
next.

The chinese Must &c.

The New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger says:
"A movement would see a to have
been begun by some property owners
here to drive Chinese tenants from the
city. No threats are used, as in San
Francisco, but what is quite as effective
and scarcely less unjust, the landlords
in the Chinese quarter in Mott street
are declining to let their houses to the
Celestials, and informing those who are
now occupying them that they must
leave when their lease runs out. It is
admitted that the Mongolians have
paid their rents with promptitude
which might we'll be initiated by other
people, that they have made no trouble
to their neighbors, nor have they quar-
relied among themselves; that the police
have seldom or never been called upon
to silence disturbances in their district
and that were 1t not for the costumes
they wear their presence would scarcely
be recognized. of coarse, if they are
driven from Mott street, they will
find resting place elsewhere, but it is
discOuraging to find New York, even to
this extent, joining with San Francisco.

THE NEW HAILROAD.
what the Baltimore sssun'' Seems
10 KmOw- ,aAf

hV AAMv"s
The Baltimore "Sun" has the follow
ing telegraph from Philadelphia:
"There was well l-founded rumor on
the streets to-day that Col Fl. s. Nc
Comb, of Wilmington, who has been
prominent in several railroad enter
prises, has secured the option of ma
jority of the stock of the West Chester
and Philadelphia Railroad for a certain
time at fixed price. Within the year
Colonel McComb secured control of the
Delaware Western road, which extends
from Wilmington to Landenberg, in
competition with other parties, who
thought the line worth looking after.
The acquisition of the West Chester e
Philadelphia Railroad is of use only ass
afording an entrance TO Baltimore, and
as favorable one as those interested
in the new line between Baltimore and
Philadelphis could wish. The West
Chester and Philadelphia Railroad ex-.
tends from Philadelphia to West Ches-
ter, and, with road twenty-six miles
long, has paid regularly eight per cent.
Nt'"oNo uPoA sho Cdpltdl bLOCk VI
$S2l 900, the total of stock and bonds
being 81, 2,250, 200, or about 100000 to
the mile.
"But this road has station right on
Chestnut street, below Thirty first
street, with the right of way across
Chestnut street to Market and Penn
sylvania Railroad yard. Acquisition
OF this road would give the new line
entrance to the city quite as favorable
as that enjoyed by the old road and q
square nearer the city than the present
depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It
could not bs ascertained when the op-
tion expires or what the price named
was. The stock is never sold on the
market, and there is no quotation for
it, the only standard for its value be-.
ing the fact that it pays eight per cent.
per annum."
"On Tuesday Colonel McComb pass
ed over the line by way Of making q
careful examination of the road, and
we learn that he was we'll pleased with
1t in every particular. Superintendent
Il. K. Smith accompanied him."
