Government Arms.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, lSS0.-During
the past two or three years several OF
the Southern States have established a
S,ate militia and then called upon the
federal government to supply them with
improved fire arms under existing laws
regulating the issuipgof arms to the
several States for militia purposes. In
this way the South has obtained a good
many arms of the most improved pat.
tern. While this has been going on,
the Northern States have made no de-
mands on the general government for
militia purposes. Yesterday, Governor
Head, Of New Hampshire, called upon
the Secretary of War and arranged for
nearly two thousand stand of arms-the
most improved breech-loading rifles,
with which to arm the State militia of
his State. This is not done with any
idea hat the militia will be called upon
within the next few years to use the
arms thus furnished, but only that the
State may have well.drilled military
organization in case any emergency
arises, and not be wholly defenceless or
respond to any call Of the general gov
ernmeut.

Fine shoe Store.

Our friend Lemuel Marr always did
keep first class boot and shoe store,
but he never had chance to spread
him self fully in his business until h.
removed to No. IL East Fourth street,
where he is now located, We stopped
in to see him last evening and found
him ina gushing good humor. Poets
always are good patured. "Ah, Pm all
right now, just see what a store have
and can sell the best shoes at the
lowest prices in Wilmington" said
our friend or something TO that effect.
We had no doubt of his ability to 40
what he claimed after We had been in
troduced to his magnificent stock OF
shoes and informed how low they could
be sold. He has q larger stock now
then he ever had and he says he got 1t
at a figure that enables him to sell
cheaper than the cheapest. His prices
were remarkably low, fact which any
person who has to buy about three
pairs of shoes every tins a little ice
freezes in the cutters knows all about.
We can only repeat that all who go to
Lemuel Marr's will find a beautiful
store, and good natured and honest
proprietor and most remarkably cheap
shoes.

On Thursday, the 9Th inst, DR.. T.
A. Keables, of Georgetown University,
D. c., removed large tumor from the
face of Mrs. Ray L. Keables, S42 Spruce
street. The tumor was located near
the orbit Of the eye, impairing the
sight and completely disfguring the
lady's face. The operation was per-
formed by the Doctor alone. The pro-
cess was local an@sthesia or freezing OF
the part, and then dissecting the tumor
with the knife. The duration of the
operation was about twenty minutes,
and was pronounced by the lady to be
almost painless. DR.. Keables is broth

ing offered him to locate with us and
we trust be will. Good men and es-
pecially good Doctors are a blessing to

Couples on the Grand March.
Last evening the Live Oak Assembly,
one Of the most prominent social organ
izations of this city, gave its fifth grand
annual reception in Wsbster's Dancing
Academy, and, as was anticipated, the
devotses Of Terpsichore turned out en-
masse, feeling confident that a rich
treat was in store for them, and they
were not mistaken, for the gentlemen
having the affair in charge had been
earnestly engaged for some time past
in perfecting preparations for the event,
and the excellently arranged program
attested thattheir labors had not been
in vain. Long before the hour for
opening the ball, an unusually large
number of spectators had assembled to
witness the grand promenade, which
has always been marked feature with
this organization, and in order that II
might surpass that of previous years in
point of numbers, the management Of
fered as an inducement to each lady
taking part, program which for cost
liness and beauty has never been ex-
celled in this city. The premium offer.
ed had the desired effect, and the ex-
pectations of the most sanguine we're
realized, as the march was the largest
ever led in Web5ter's. Promptly at
1890 o'clock The grand promenade took
place, led by Master Of Ceremonies,
George L. Kohlerman. accompanied by
Miss Annie Bleyer, followed by Floor
Manager, Robert P. First, with Miss
Mary Fox, and his assistants, G. F.

couple participating. The march being
go large, great deal of skill was re-
quired in its manouvres, but the lady
and gentleman on the lead were equal
to the task, and the many econiums Of
praise which they received were Justly
deserved. At its conclusion, sets we're
speedily formed, and the festivities of

intermissions during the evening, and
here again the wisdom of the manage
rnent was displayed, they having pro-
cured an abundance of refreshments Of
a superior quality, wherewith to satiate
the cravings of the inner man. The
Assembly is to be congratulated, not
only on account of the large and order
ly gathering and the well arranged
program, but also for the amount Of
amusement and pleasure afforded all
present. Dancing was continued until
sold Sol" had rolled back the dark
curtain Of night and warned the genial
and courteous hosts and their highly
gratifed guests of tue approach of an
other day, when all wended their way

A Little BOY Surprised.

"Johnny" Bernhard is son OF ofi-
Ger B.rnhardt, and lives with his faith
ar at The South East corner of Eighth
and Madison Streets. "Johnny" ac-
ceptsd an invitation Of q number Of lit
tie lads and lasses in the neighborhood
to attend a surprise party last night,
and with package in hand he hurried
off to the place of rendezvous to meet
the other members of the party. Every
thing being ready about twenty young
folks started out on their surprise visit.
They marched up in front VI Johnny's
residence and just stopped a moment,
until one Of the little Misses, just run
around moment to see Mrs. Bernhardt.
The moment hardly passed until the
front door flew open, and such scrauo-
bling as thers was to get inside John
ny was convinced about that time that
he was the victim of a surprise party,
and surrendered himself to the iney-
itabls. OF course pleasant evening
was passed with alternate courses OF
play, music and refreshments. All en-
jOyed themselves, but none moro than
officer Bernhard himself whose 225
pound corporation shook with laughter

THE COURT HOUSE STRIKE.
The workers In stone for Back
ray - TIE MORey Psid 30 Thein
This Morning.


The workmen Of Mr.. Frederick Gram
lich the sub contractor at the New
court house struck yesterday morning,
upon the refusal Of Mr.. G. to aoceds to
demands asking for back pay. 1t seems
according to the statements made by
the men that the sureties OF Mr.. Gram
licb in Philadelphia had dispatched to
Mr.. Given to not pay Mr. G.. any more
monsy. This complicated the matter,
and Mr.. Given adhering to the decision
the stone cutters who are all employees
of Gramlich quit work.
The sum total due the masons was
about 5000. The workmen, were en-.
gagged at from 50 to $3.75 per day. Dur
ing the afternoon they stood around the
building in groups and commented
upon the situation. In the meantime
Mr.. Given and the securities we're en-.
deavOring to arrange the difference am
,cably until a: last Mr.. Given inform
cd tie men that he would bs present in
the morning at nine O'Clock and hs
would endsavor TO arrange matters.
This morning at nine O'Clock the
men to the number Of thirty, began to
assemble. The brick layers were still
at work on the building. Mr..
Given as we'll as Mr.. GramIich failed
to put in an appearance, and the pros
pect of obtaining what was due the men
looked exceedingly small.
At $50 O'Clock Mr.. Given with his
counsel Col. Whiteley put in an ap-
pearance, soon after followed dr. Gram
lich. No satisfactory communication
being received from Philadelphia, Mr.
Given decided to pay the money at his
own risk, which was done and the men
dispersed, some with the intention of
returning to Philadelphia.
The trouble it seems was 5au5ed by
Mr.. Grsmlich overdrawing the amount
which was decided upon to be paid for
the proper completion of so much work
a month. The aggregate amount OF the
contract was $40, ,jS2, whica has baen
overdrawn with the exception OF "a 600
which is attached by Judgment crrdi-
tors. IA order to save themselves from
as much loss as possible the securities
we're required to take the step they
did.
AS to future operations the contrac.
tors are silent and will give DO infor-
mStion whatever. 1t is said that Mr..
Gramlich refuses to 20 OH with the work
unless new agreements are made out.
The creditors, quarrymen and others
are worried. There are outstanding
$1,000 worth of bills held by parties
against the contractors. Among the
"on dts" floating around is the an
nouncement that Mr.. Given will lose
$40, 900 on the contract. Owing to the
complications there are three car loads
of stone lying on the sideway of the
Northern Road to be uoloaded.
