a Piti0bLe Case,

Last evening Tie attention of officer
Glendenning. of South Chester, was di-
fected to house on Front street, near
the borough line, in which were three
little children all alone. IL appears that
the family, whose name Is Mullen, Is IN
humble circumstances. The father
works In Wilmington, and the wife,
wishing TO move to that place, left her
home yesterday morning TO go to Will
minRton to get enough money from her
husband to remove them. She left the
children, the Oldest being about eleven
years of age, in the house without foCd
or fire, and after dark last evenicg, they
being hungry, cold and afraid, they be-
gen TO cry, which attracted the attention
of those around. When officer Glenden-
ming found them the sight was a most
pitiable one indeed. He immediately
reported the case to officer Barber, who
at the Instance of Councilman FeHnel
proceeded to make an investigation.
When he arrived at the house the
mother had returned and began making
a fire to warm her half-frozeD children.
They were then left with their mo her,
who provided for them the best she
could.-Chester Netos.

Democratic Supervisors.

, - PolNTMENTs ARE MADE.
A Democratic meeting was held at the
Excelsior Democratic Club rooms, last
night, to consider the subject of naming
Democratic Supervisors of Registration,
in case Judge Bradford desires to grant
the petition for the appointment Of Su-
pervisors. The meeting was only pro-
posed during the afternoon, but notwith-
s anding the short notice, the attendance
was large aud general embracing repre-
sentatives from every election district in
the city. Col. Fl. b. McIntire, Chairman
of the Democratic City Executive Com
mittee, presided, and stated the object of
the meeting. ...
After thorough discussion of the sub
ject, 1t was decided that If Supervisors
were TO be appointed, 1t would he best to
have the Democratic party represented,
and that list should be prepared and
handed to Chief Supervisor j. S. vaen-
tine, with protest, however, ON the part
of the Democracy, against the appoint
ment of Supervisors in any event.
A call of wards was made, and names
suggested for each election district. The
meeting then adjourned. The list of

Pherson aud Mr.. Baldwin presented pc
titions OF women asking constitution
al amendment giving women the right
of suffrage. H.f" .i. 49,.
MIR. Allison from the Committee on
Finance, announced that he was direct
ed by that committee to report back the
joint resolution for the withdrawal of

committee had made a verbal amend
ment to the resolution unanimously
agreeing TO IL, and with that amendment
directed him tO report the resolution ad-
versely.
He understood there was a minority
report to be presented, otherwise he
should ask indefinite postponement of
the resolution. He asked that IL be
placed on the calendar for the present.
So ordered. ....
Mr.. Bayard, from the same committee,
presented the views Of the minerity, as
follows 1.-THE undersigned, believing
the industrial, commercial, and financial
prosperity Of the county, in order TO be
enduring and secure, must be based up
on money of actual and intrinsic
value, and that our Government has no
power and Is incompetent to endow It's
paper obligations with such value, and
the United States Treasury notes in
existence and In circulation being now
redeemable ia gold and silver coin at
the option of the holder, do recommend
the withdrawal Of the compulsory legal
tender power Of such notes aud the
passage of the subjoined resolution.
(Signed) "FRANCIs KERANN,
"THoMAs +. BAYARD."
(Here follows the Bayard resolution
that Treasury notes shall be receivable
for all dues to the United States except
duties on imports, and shall not be
otherwise legal-tender.)
"AdmlttiDg the principle of the reso-
luton as to the power of the Govern
inent to make paper legal tender, re-

The Supervisors.
JUDGE BRADFORD READY TO RECEIVE
NOMINATIONS.

JUDGE BRADFORD READY TO RECEIVE
NOMINATIONS.
1t is now definitely known that
Judge Bradford, of the U. $. Count,
has decided to appoint Supervisors OF
Registration for this State, to supervise
the assessment of voters by the County
Assessors and Levy Court. He has
made no formal announcement of his
decision in open Court, but has notified
j. 5. Valentine, Chief Supervisor for
Delaware, that lie was ready to receive
nominations.
The nominations will be handed to
His Honor the Judge, in open Court,
probably commencing on Monday next.
They will no6 all be handed in together,
but will be named by election districts,
and acted upon separately. All the
nominations are subject to the confrma-
tiOn OF the Court, and care will be
taken to confirm none but good, reliable
citizens, and fair representatives of the
political parties.
Ii is likely that the appointment of
Supervisors will not be confined to Will
mington, but will be extended through
out New Castle County.

Horrible Huir-Dve Death.

Cyrus Morrison: who lived for many
years In the vicinity of Beartowp, Lam
caster county, has just died. He was
paraly zed for the last few months, and
unable to do anything. Several weeks
ago he became very sick, and suffered
terribly until ne died. A number of
eminent physicians attended him, who
havo come to thd conclusion that his
system was poisoned by the extensive
use of hair dye, which he used on his
beard, and which resulted fatally. He
was about fifty years of age, married
and leaves a widow and large family
of children. 1t IS said that he copiousiy
used the dys on his hair, wbiskers and
mustache, and since his death they have
turned q greenish white, giving the

John Hills, who came from Camden,
Burling on county, N. j., and a man
named McCloskey, who came f.om New
Castle Jail, last Wednesday, were each
fined fifty cents and costs last night by
Mayor Almond for being drunk. The
original charge was drunkenness and
corner lounging, but they managed to
prove an dtibi so far as that was con-
cerned.
Charles Duffy testf fled that he and
disconsolate man named McMahon, who
was next put in the dock, were engaged
In business in South Wilmington. The
prisoner persisted in g tting drunk, greatly
TO the detriment of trade, and when in
toxicated would fight little boys in the
street. He therefore brought a charge
of disorderly conduct. A penalty OF one
dollar and costs was imposed.
