pretty cheeky for the Morning Netos TO

She Republican delegate Election


the Republican Delegate Election.
The Republican delegate election on
Saturday was by no means harmonious
affair, but it was gotten through with
without anybody being killed or seriously
hurt, and but one arrest-that of the
notorious Ned Leary, who on this occasion
lent his powerful lungs to the cause of
reform N the Seventh ward. He was
soon released however, at the request of
his friends in the Higgins faction, and
resumed his activity in behalf of what
claims to be the "genteel' wing of the
party, and which received tine almost solid
negro vote; The result shows that the
partisins Of the present county committee
carried SIX oDt Of the ten wards, but that
their vote in tie city as a whole only
exceeded that of their opponents by u, a
surprisingly small majority considering the
claims made by the county committee to
represent the nearly unanimous sentiment
Of New Castle county Republicans, and
especially those Of Wilmington.
Taking the county a. whole, the
county committee seems TO have secured
small majority Of the delegates; but
reports from Sussex and Kent show that
there is no doubt that taking the State as
whole. the State committee faction has
a decided majority Of all the delegates
chosen, and will, therefore, easily control
the convention. The recent action of the
county committee in defying the
State committee and rebelling against it,

The loss of life in India due to the
ravagPs of vernOmOus snakes is al
most incredible. Yet the disease
which is as willy and deadly as the
deadliest India reptile, is winding
its coil around thousands of people
while the victims are unconscious
of its presence. 1t has long been a
hobby with incompetent physicians
to assume that consumption is incu-
rable after the formation of tuber-
Giles has begun and in every case
they fail to effect a cure-of course
turbercles had begun to form and
they We're incurable. The records
of medical science disprove any
such theory. On the contrary, in
cases of lung disease which had
been cured and the patients lived
forty and fifty years in robust health,
pOSt-motem examinations showed
large cicatrices (scars) where the
turbercles had been formed and re-
moved. The tubercles are removed
by absorption into the blood. An
efficient Alternative, DIR. Pierce's Col
den Medical Discovery, must be
used to cleanse the blood of the
scrofulous impurities. For tuber-
cular CONSUMPTION is only a form of
scrOfulOus disease. Golden Medical
Discovery is a sovereign remedy for
all forms of scrofulous disease, or
king's-eVil, such as tumOrs, white
swellings, fever-sores, scrofulous
sore eyes, as well as for other blood
and skin diseases.

Plslful story.

Hungarian papers report a pecu-
liarly painful case of double suicide
committed by two shepherd boys,
respectively aged ten and twelve
years, near Harrisburg. These lads
were In charge of flock of sheep
turned out to Craze ON some land
abutting upon the Harrisburg Ardd
railroad, and had been several times
reproved by the watchInan stationed
near their pasturage ground for al
lowing the sheep to stray on the
line. On the 9th ult., just as the
Arad express came in sight, several
sheep had wandered down the en-
bankment, and were in imminent
danger of being crushed by the
train, from which, however, they
were rescued by the timely inter
-ventiOn OF the watchman in ques-
ton, who, as soon as the train had
passed, called up the boys and told
them he would have them severely
punished for neglecting their duty
and his repeated warnings. The
terrified lads held a consultation as
to how they might. escape the
threatened penalty, and speedily
came tothe coaclusion that the best
way of getting out of their scrape
would be to drown themselves. One
of them had just had new hat,
adorned with a gay peacock g
feather, given to him, which he sold
for thirteen kreutzers to IA little
peasant girl, who had been at play
with the boys when the dreadful
menace of punishment was impaired
to them. With the price of his hat
he purchased some small Ioayes,
and the three children sat down by
the Maros to hold their ''Par1ona, y

mated, the boys climbed the para

"Mho struck RIlIy Patterson 2

tNdEnecNAAAS WAL ANN6ASeOAJ
Many persons have heard the
question, tWho struck Billy Patter-
SOM" without knowing the origin
of it. l propose to enlighten them
on the subject. William Patterson
was very wealthy tradesman or
merchant of Baltimore, in the state
of Maryland. In the early days OF
Franklin county he bought up a
great many tracts of land in the
county, and spent a good portion OF
his time in looking after his inter
ests there. He was said to be as
strong as bear and as brave as a
lion, but, like all brave men, he was
a lover of peace, and, indeed, good,
piOus man. Nevertheless, his wrath
could be excited to a fighting pitch.
On one occasion he attended pub
lie gathering in the lower part OF
Franklin county, at some district
court ground. During the day two
opposing bullles and their friends
raised a row, and a general fight
was the consequence. At the begin
ming OF the affray, and before the
fighting began, Billy Patterson ran
into the crowd to persuade them not
to fight, but to make peace and be
friends. But his efforts for peace
were unavailing, and while making
them some one of the crowd in the
general melee struck Billy Patterson
a severe blow from behind. Billy
at once became fighting mad, and
cried out at the top of his voice,
"Who struek Billy Patterson ?'' No
one could or would tell him who
the guilty party was. He then pro-
posed to give any man 800 who
would tell him "whO struck Billy
Patterson From 500 he rose to
$1,000, but not $1,000 would induce
any man to tell him "who struck
Billy Patterson" And years after
wards, in his will, he related the
above facts, and bequeathed 81 900
to be paid by his executors to the
man who would tell "whO struck
Billy Patters0n.n His will is re-
corded in the ordinary's office at
GAINESVILLE, franklin county, Ga,
and anyone curious about the mat
ter can there find it and verify the
preceding statements. 81

against the Railroads.
The suit of the Adams express
company against the N. &C. and
the L., C.. & L. railroads has been
decided In favor OF the express COM
pahy; we cut from the. Banner its
special telegram on the subject:
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 3d.
Judge Baxter this morning rem
dered an opinion in the case OF the
Adams express company against
the Nashville & Chattanooga and
Louisville, Cincinnati \ Lexington
railroads.
The decision is substantially the
same as that given by Justice Har-
lan.iu a similar case at indianapolis
and Is another victory for the Adj
ans. The Judge sustains the mo-
ton of the plaintiff and grants an
Injunction. .s..-
THE opinion Is very long at one
place it saws: 1.-THE railroad has no
light to exclude any express COM
pany from the line in favor of an
other express company. The eX-
press business is essentially d1tfer-
ent from the freight-carrying bust
ness, and the railroads have no char
ter rights authorizing them to do
an express business, consequently
they should not be allowed to eX-
clude an express company from
their line and carry on express bus
iness themselves.
The effect of the decision will be
to leave the whole matter in statu
quo. The Adams express company
will remain ON the railway lines
'ust as Ii is now until the case
comes up for final hearing.
The attorneys for the defense are
undecided as to what action to take
in the matter. The Adams officials
are iubilant over the result. 1t is
probable that the matter will not
end until il comes npin the Supreme
court of the United States.
