A Card Extraordinary

for the benefit of those who doubt that
the performance to be given at the
Opera House on Saturday evening is
anything but the original Riralfy Bro +
spectacular play, the same as was pro.
duced at the Walnut Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, where it was played for
four weeks to crowded houses, we will
say that we have received letter from
the management, in which he says he
will bring all the scenery, and will put
up as much as the stage at the Opera
House will hold also the same special
ty people, such az the Jim Sisters, the
Lisello Brothers, Mons. Arnold Kiralfy,
Mile. DeRosa, the greatest premiere
dancer in the world, and full ballet !;
also first class dramatic company, in
Guiding Mr.. George Dsnham, Miss Ger.

Assault and Battery .

A man named Martin, claiming to bt
employed upon the new Court House
was before acting Mayor O'Niell, last
evening, charging that he had been as
saulted by Barney Murray. Martin
had engaged board with Murray, but
had not worked any from noon on Mon
day until the present time, and when
Martin entered the house, Murray says
he requested him to leave, which he
refused to do. He then used force and
elected him, and also refused to allow
him to take his possessions, which were
in the house. As it was proven that
Murray had used too much force, he
was subject to penalty of one dollar
and costs.

The Miniature "PInafore. >,

The children of this city will present
the opera of "Pinafore" at the Opera
House next Tuesday evening. AL
though this opera has beea somewhat
pressed upon our citizens during the
previous season, yet it will no doubt
be interesting when presented by the
Juveniles of our own city. The princi-
pal characters will be taken by those
who took them in Ford's Juvenile Ope-
ra Company. Mrs. Hayes will undoubt-
edly have an immense house, as the
prizes are quite reasonable. See adv.

Ell. nnurh artx,a Deaf h.

We have already mentioned in onl
last edition of yesterday the death o.
Mr.. i. J. Dougherty, the unfortunate
young man who fell into the tank Of
boiling logwood at Warmers morocco
mandatory. In the morning there
we're hopes Of his recovery and he talk
ed cheerfully with friend who came
down from Chester to see him. His
wonderfully strong constitution enabled
him to bear up with great fortituds un-
der his suGsrings, hut in spite OF all
that could be done for him, he COM
menced about 10 O'CLOCK to gradually
sink and at quarter before two O'Clock
expired. Mr.. Dougherty was son
of Michael Dougherty, a well known
former citizsn OF Wilmington, but whV,
a couple of years ago, removed to Ches.
ter. He was genial, good natured
companion and rapidly made friends
WITH all whom he met. During the
war he served three years in the Navy
and received an honorable discharge
lie served three terms as the President
Of the Shields Library Association, of
which he was an active member for IL
years. With the exception of the
three years in whicd be was in the navy
he has always resided in this city. AT
the city election in 1878, Mr, Dougherty
was elected All Assistant Inspector of
the Eastern District of the Third ward,
but before the city election was held
last fall he resigned the position it is said
because he was expected to sanction
some things which he could not con-
scientifically submit to. Ths funeral of
Mr.. Dougherty will take place next
Sunday afternoon and will no doubt be
attended by all his fellow workmen,
the Shields Library, the Water Witch
Fire Company and other friends.

The ordinance amending the ordi-
nance making appropriations for 1880
was called up by Mr.. Merris Taylor for
a third reading. 1t reduces the sppro-
priation for the Board of Education for
the current year from $65, 500 to $42,-
600. The reason for this action has
been fully ventilated in the newspapers.
Briefly stated, the case is that at the
last session Of the Legislature, when
the new school law was passed, the
representatives Of the Beard agreed lin
fact 1t was their own proposition) tore
turn TO Council at the end Of the year
1879 whatever surplus there might be
over tneir appropriation.
This they refused TO do and hence
the reduction In iheir appropriation.
The calling up Of the ordinance for
its final passage led to some discussion
and explanation Of the facts Of the case,
but the ordinance finally passed by a
unanimous vote. This reduces tho to-
tai Of the appropriations for 1880 to
1923, 27S.33.
The discussion waxed warm, Mr.. Nc.
Glinchy said that the ordinance was a
trick. Mr.. Robert Taylor replied that
Mr.. Baird of the Board Of Education
had made the proposition in reference
to the surplus. The arst monthly in
stallment was directed to be drawn in
favor of Mr.. Morrow, which amounted
to $3, $50.

| must acknowledge that | was in
error when | attributed the authorship
of the article signed "Snap" to a store
keeper.
Ia my former letter | did not advo-
cste any one giving away his land, but
merely suggested that IL land sufficient
should be given to any large manufac-
turing firm, it would enhance the value
of the surrounding property, and give
an impetus to the town which would
surprise the old fogies. "snap- Fogie"
is entirely too sensitive, and has al
lowed his zeal for his own interest to
get the better of his judgment. What
he means when he says the men who
were here prospecting for land to build
dry dock wanted others to give $75,-
coo for farm worth only about 81 900,
| am at loss to imagine.
II am correctly informed, the per.
son who owned or was supposed to own
the farm, which the gentleman had Sc
lscted to build dry dock on, demand
ed S75 200 for it, and it was afterwards
sold for $1,000. That is the difference
between tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum.
"Snap-Fogie' says that he and others
have offered, by advertisement, to sell
land cheap. Oh, yes, after they had
got the elephant on their hands, they
wanted to get rid of him as speedily as
possible.
Had encouragement been given to
people to settle here, instead of obsta-
cles being placed in their way by de-
manding such fabulous prices for land,
Delaware City.might have been thriv-
ing town, and no one would have been
compelled to seek work elsewhere. As
have before said, Delaware City pos
seses rare advantages for being made o
business centre, yet artizans and lab
orers do not come here because they
receive little encouragement, aud the
few who do come are tainted with be1
ing carpet. .baggers. According to "snap-
Fogie," moneyed men are welcomed
with open arms, but there is no room
for skilled mechanics. Nothing would
please me better than to hear the hum.
of machinery in Delaware City, and to,
see our whole river front lined with
vessels, loading and unloading, but
this will never be so long as men are
so very sordil, and wrap themselves
up in their garb Of selfshness.
The Methodists at St. Georges are
about to build parsonage, two stories
high, TO contain seven rooms, in addi-
tion to the kitchen, On the corner of
Delaware and Broadway streets. The
structure will be frame one, and
built upon the same plan as the ono
now occupied in our town by Rsv. Mr..
Price. am pleased to notica this pros
perity of our ct. Georges friends. II
speaks well for the zeal with which
they ara laboring in the cause Of Christ.

to the discharge of Peter Herdic from

resent 3 number OF New York banks
and other creditors of Herdic, and who
are objecting TO his discharge, say
they object TO his discharge for several
rea ons. The specifications set forth
that Heroic has'falsely sworn that he
has turned over all his property to his
creditors; that he has a large amount of
property hidden somewhere, where his
creditors cannot reach 1t; that he did
not keep proper set OF books and re-
cord his business transactions IS he
should have done, although he was a
merchant" within the meaning Of the
act of Congress. The counsel for theBe
creditors say that .. the time of Herdic's
application for a discharge his liabili-
ties we're over million and half, and
there were little or no assets. They
say that since the application for dis-
charge, Herdic's assets, which are in
his creditors hands, have not realized
500. They cannot tell how much
Hsrdic has stoStd away but they
think II Is q large amount. The spe-
cifcations speak of a number of real
estate transactions as being of an ille-
gal aud unfair nature. Mr.. Herdic
was present in court and listened with
great interest to the proceedings. No

A Chance To Try virginia Justice,

A Colored schsol mistress, daughter
|oi G. W. Cook, late doorkeeper of the
House Of Delegates, was dastardly as
'saRlted near Norfolk, Va, on Monday,
while returning home from her school.
She was assailed by two white men and
knocked down and treated brutally.
A colored man who went TO her rescue
was shot by one of the men and serious
ly wounded in the hip. Later it was
asCertained that one of the assailants
was R. C. White, member Of the police
'force Of that city. He was identified by
the wolnan and also by the wounded
man as having been one of the assault
Ping Isrty. II the woman had been
white and her assailants colored the
probabilities are that the latter would
have been lynched before this. This
ease will afford an Opportunity to show
how even. handed justics is in Virginia.
