COUNCIL.

EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY OF JEFFERSON
COUNCIL.
The eighth anniversary Of the Jefsr-
son Council, No. 10, 0. u. A. NJ, took
place on Saturday evening, in Odd Fel-
lows Hall. Long before the hour for
hour for the exercises to commence the
friends Of the Council began arriving at
the hall, and when the stage curtain
rung up the auditorium was crowded.
The exercises consisted of addresses,
recitations, singing, etc., all Of which
were very interesting. The entertain
ment opened with an address by p. G.
West, who welcomed the friends OF the
Order to the entertainment; and gave
brief outline of its rise and progress.
He was followed by quartette singing
"America."
Prayer by Brother Simmons was the
next. Then followed, in quick success
sion, singing by the quartette, recita-
tions by H. c. Conrad, Esq, James Fl.
Crabb and F. T. Hollingsworth; solos,
by Lizzie Worth, and singing by Mollie
and Ida Roberts. Addresses were de-
livered by Rev. F. B. DuVal and Rev.
J. G Sullivan, pastor of Seventh street
NJ. P. Church.
The entertainment was o success in
every particular, and was highly en-
joyed by those present.

In NesO Quarters.

The Wilmington members of the
Board Of Trustees of the Poor are now
comfortably fixed 10 their new quarters,
at No. 105 w. Sixth street, after having
fitted up the building in q handsome
and convenient manner. The first floor
has been divided into two Offices, sepa-
rated by a partition provided with q
large sash, by means of which communi-
cation between the two rooms can be
established or stopped at will. The
front room is the public Office for charity
applicants, while the Trustees occupy
the back room for the consideration of
business brought before them. Tho
woodwork of the rooms has been tastily
painted and grained, and the effect is
very pleasing. In the second floor of the
building are two good sized connecting
rooms, suitable for offices or light busi-
ness, which are offered for rent. A pri-
vate stairway leads to those rooms.

Weldin's majority over Sparks, 364.
The city was full of bad whisky
during the afternoon, and drunken
negroes were to be seen on every
hand. In fact, the negroes were
an important factor in the nomina-
ton. They voted early and often.
and in most of the polling-places
were the only window men to be
seen around. Those who worked
for Martin enjoyed the luxury of
riding around in fine coaches as that
gentleman being connected with the
well-known livery stable firm of W.
C. Martin q Bro, had all the teams
out that were deemed necessary to
bring out the necessary vote. Sew
eral of these teams being in the
hands of careless drivers, got broken
during the afternoon, and one OF
them came near being smashed in a
runaway at Second and Tatnall
streets.

appointed at his defeat, and are al
