PERFORMANCE OF akERRY COW"

PERFORMANCE OF .KERRY COW"
A tair-slzed audience assembled at the
Opera House last evening to witness the
second representation in this city by
Joseph Murphy OF his great specially
"KeIry Cow "Kerry Cow" was
written for Mr. Murphy by Fred.
Marsjen, who is moie of an author than
play wright, although he has drama
zsd ..lss several pieces s for q stsgs, mol
"herry Cow" ID reall, lbe best piece
that Mr.. Marsden ever produced. 1t lis
decidedly au Irish drama O. high order.
It lacks the broad jukes usually fouDu
in such pieces, aud furthermore IL is an
Irish drama minus dancing. IL is from
begi nuing To end tull of wit, humor, and
pathos. II is the embodiment OF stage
representation Of irish hfeas IL really Is,
devoid of all cauoature and burlesqu+;
a comedy drama without. equal, pre-
senting not only realistic pictures of life
and love in the Green Isle, but a touch
ing story OF fe and love as seen every
day all around US The language In
which the story Is told has been well
chosen by the author, aad he Is to be
congratulated upon 1t, aS there are few
who attempt to write an irish drama
without filing t. 1I MihI Dgriesaus and and
some in lis copstruclios, and II is relief
To witness the performance of il. Tnete
Is only one fault, and that Is the
action drags IN some Of the acts. Three
hours is too loug.for play of four acts.
Several of the lines could very conve-
niently be be cut without marripg the
effects in any man, er of the play.
The scenery ip Kerry Cow" is realis-
| ZION TO all the details. The third act, in
Which he shoes horse on the stage, WAS
very fDe, while his doves are well
| trained.
OF Mr.. Mu phys acting 1t is not neces-
| sary to speak, except to say that II
could not be excelled. The company
that supported him have been carefully
selected. and therefore there are no
"sticts." Taktugs 1t at through there
| has nol been more enjoyable perform

THE CAREER OF A CRAZY IMPoSTER-
HOW HE FLEECED PEOPLE.

THE CAREER OF A CRAZY IMPoSTER-
HOW HE FLEECED PEOPLE.
Officer McClane, last evening, arrested
pale, sickly-looking, one-eyed, crooked
shaped young man, OF about twenty
years of age, who for several days past
has been roaming around town, fleeing
people In various petty ways. He is
not a stranger here, but has visited Will
mington on several occasions selling
lead pencils, and other light wares. He
never fleeced people, however, until his
last visit.
He announced his name as Ii. E..
Bennett, of No. S04 N. Ninth street,
Philadelphia, and registered under this
tile at the United States Hotel. he
also stopped at the restaurant of A. e.
Willis, No. 106 E. Third street, and got
supper, which he paid for with prom
ist. He also stopped at several private
boarding houses, and obtained meals.
At each place he represented himself to
be government employe in the railway
mail service. He also borrowed small
sums of money from parties al the
places where he stopped, always prom
ising to pay book In gold, when he got
lis remittance from the government.
His chief performance was renting from
NJ. l.. Lichtenstein the vacant store
room No. l06 East Fifth street. where he
said he was going to open a cigar store.
He got A. B. Jones to look at the prem
ises with a view to doing some paper
hanging, and a)se procured estimates for
other work. He procured his license
from the Internal Revenue Office, and
attempted to buy $500 worth Of stock
from S. w. Schultz, Fourth street to-
bacconist. He told Mr.. Schultz that Mr..
Bowers, of the firm of Bowers, Dure q
Co., was his security, but Mr. Schultz
learned to the contrary and did not sell
the man any goods.
Bennett also visised the different
newspaper offices, and attempted to go
into the business of selling papers on
tick, but did not meet with much sue
cess. He came to the GAZETTE office
one day, and ordered one thousand busi-
ness cards printed, but as bis mental
condition was then correctly measured.
his order was left untitled.
After being arrested, yesterday after
noon, he was taken to the police station
and kept until O'Clock in the evening.
Then he was released and ordered TO
leave the city, and when last seen was
slowly vending his way towards the
p, W. a. b. R. R. depot.

The RepubIican Boom.

Mr.. EDITOR The Republican 1t ap-
pears has succeeded IN obtaining q first
Class Boom which will be settled a.
New Castle Court There is nothing
like having brains provided they are in

publican will have plenty to engage his

booms cost more or less to carry them
to successful termination. No doubt
the Editor will speud bis cash freely, in
order that he may not be defeated. He
does not expect to walk into the White
House, although he may walk into Fort
Pyi for short timA If This boom fails.
He will no doubt call loudly for Sambo

called up. He has been unfortunate
with his booms, he failed in one called

was also failu,e. In order that he

MR.. EDITOR I'm the DAILY GA
zETTE of March 30th, DIR. Caldwell,
pastor cf ST. Paups M. E. Church,
honors me in his letter with the follow
ing personal notice "The first per-
son who approached and asked my
opinion of the law involved in the
Hagany case was the late pastor of
Asbury Church. This he did over q
year ago at the Conference held at New
Castle. Our lodgings were assigned to
the same room, which, however, we
occupied together but a short time as
| had to return home every evening"
During that short interval however,
with every appearance of unabated
friendship, and in the freedom and
confidence of brotherly Intercourse, he
stated his point of law and I gave him
unreservedly my opinion at his own re-
quest."a rr1"" ~ 'Ali .'I IIi N
Ishould have taken no notice of his
letter but for the Misrepresentation of
that interview at New Castle, which
have been made in Wilmington to my
injury by some persons for months
past. Such statement as the above,
coming from DR.. Caldwell himself,
calls for my version of the interview
So far, from an appearance of "una-
bated friendship and confidential in
tercourse," it is fact that for five
months before the New Castle Confer
ence there was no intimacy whatever
between DR.. G. and myself, neither has
there been since. / have had no rea-
son to suppose that he sincerely de-
sired any, and he has not had the
shadow OF reason for supposing that
did. True, at New Castle we found
ourselves in the awkward situation of
being guests of the same family and
occupying the same room. Our first,
and l think last, private in erview
was of a half hour duration on the
first day. During which, there SEEM
ed to be mutual effort to make mu-
tua ly undesirable position as agree
able as possible. He was quite COM
municative with reference to the new
work on Ecclesiastical law by Bishop
Harris. While on the question of law,
partly to keep up my end of the con-
versation l asked him an abstract
question of law. He answered very
gradually. Think he gave no opinion
whater. considered from his manner
that he had heard of the Hagany case
and saw the bearing of my question
upon it, and perhaps had already been
consulted by Mr.. Hagany.
1t did not signify at all, however, fol
steps had already been taken beyond
the point involved in my question.
1t was the positive statement to me,
however, of one who occupied a situa-
ton to know that CDR. Caldwell was
advisory counsel in the Hagany case
and he says he knew it."
Permit me to say again there hal
been no intimate or confidential rela
tions between DR.. Caldwell and my
self for seventeen months. Nothing
what ever but the most distant cour
tesy. ,...e. -........l

Letter from Saas'Ii 4 IOsOsssessd.
I find since / have asked certain
questions, the ice has been finally
broken, and a meeting will be held ar
New Castle on Saturday, May 22d,
and that at said meeting slight
alteration of the rules, as they are
called, will be asked for to hold the
nomination election for members of
the Legislature and Levy Court one
week later. The rules mentioned
never were fairly adopted, and all
such rules are riders on the free ex-
preston of Democrats are tyranni-
cal, and should not be tolerated. No
dead. Democratic meetings should
bind or tie up the living Democratic
masses. Many years ago cursed get
of rules was devilled with, and the
Democracy Of this county was beat
until they threw the said rules over
board, then the Democracy carried
this county. And now new set of
unjust and foolish rules have proved
their imperfection every election since
their sneaking pretended adoption. l
now have the record and names to
prove they were not adopted, and il
they were, the Democratic doctrine
does not sanction that the living shall
be bound by the dead Now there
is one very important matter that
must come up this campaign, and it is
this there are eleven separate and
distinct hundreds in this New Castle
county, and only ten Senators and
Representatives the last campaign
we had none in Appoquinimink and
served over two years without repre-
sentation in the Legislature, therefore
it will take twenty-five years for a
like occurrence, for it must go round
the whole county, as we are all in
point of law as hundreds, equal, there
fore one hundred every two years
must 60 unrepresented, and that must
of course 60 all over the county.
No Democrat must for one moment
suppose Appoquinimink and Black
bird hundreds would so far bemean
themselves as to put up with half rep
resentation, and if it is attempted both
hundreds are lost to the Democratic
party, for a hundred is like an indi-
vidual, if he does not respect himself,
he cannot expect others TO do it, and
our rights are as sacred in the two
lower hundreds as the rights of Others
in the middle or upper hundreds; and
as persons are preparing their minds
for the county meeting, / thought
would add this solemn question of hun.
dred rights for the party to ponder on.
l cannot and do not expect to take as
active part in politics as have done,
but will try to warn freemen against
tyrants. l do not intend to serve il
called on for delegate to the State
Convention. differ with this clamol
for presenting a Delaware candidate
for President, but, if he is nominated
/ will vote for him, and go down with
the rest of you. We have Tough
many battle in sunshine and storm
l can stand it if you can. My warn
ings have been misconstrued as per
sonal, which was not the case. In m.
lifetime have seen great deal ii
these United States, and know some
thing of the feelings and prejudices
and am in hopes that good sense ant
good management will be exercised a
