Harris at New Castle.

lie is ATTACKED BY DIsoRDnRLY ME
GRoEs AND HAS TO BE PROTECTED
BY THE SHERIFF.
John Harris, the Virginia negro who.
for several days past has been endeav-
oring to secure the cooperation Of
Wilmington democrats in organizing
negro Hancock and English Clubs,spoke
at New Castle, on Saturday night. he
went to the depot to take the $50 O'Clock
train, but accidentally (?) missed it by
half minute, and after rushing along
several squares n frantic, but vim en-
dravor to catch the rear car, he hired q
carriage from Kieran's livery stable and
drove over.
When he arrived at the Court House
a crowd of about three hundred whites
and blacks had assembled. Harris
spoke from his carriage, and ratified
away quite volubly for several min
utes in speech reviewing national af-
fairs from q Democratic staudpoint.
He was just getting warmed up in his
argument when dissenting coor, on
the outside of the crowd, hurled o
brich which went whizzing past the
speakers ear and struck whiteman
on the cheek, inflicting severe cash.
Several smaller stones followed brisk
ly, when the police rushed in and
made several arrests, though they did
not succeed in getting the rascal that
threw the brick.
Harris then ceased speaking and got
down from his carriage, when Warden
John Doran, fearing his presence on
the street would continue the distur
bance, took him in the Jail and kept
him all night.
1t is said that squads of negroes laid
in wait along the road, Saturday night,
supposing that Harris would return to
Wilmington at late hour intending
to beat him to death. He was brought
over by Sheriff Pyle, Sunday morn
ing.
Harris had better seek more con-
genial neighborhood. His character is
strongly suspected while nis work is
not desired by the democrts or relished
by his negro brethren.

The Democratic Association
MILD SORT OF MEETING AT WHICH
NOT MUCH WAS DONE.

MILD SORT OF MEETING AT WHICH
NOT MUCH WAS DONE.
The City Democratic Association
met in Esquire Brady's office, on Sat
urday evening, and was called to order
few minutes past eight o'clock.
ii q. Turner, ESQ.,, of the commit
tee to confer with the City Executive
Committee relative to the alleged trou-
bles i'll the party, reported that he AS.
ISOLATION committee did not organize
until the night after the regular meet
ing of the Executive Committee. and
that letter had been received from
the Secretary of the latter committee
TO the effect that no special meeting
could be held this week owing to the
absence of the chairman, but that the
Association committee would be cheer
fully received at the next regular meet
ing of the Executive Committee ON
Tuesday evening.
MIR. Turner moved that the report be
accepted, and the committee contin-
ued.
John ODonnell thought that Mr..
Turner'S statement should not be con-
sidered as anything more Than report
of progress.
The chairman agreed with this view
and announced that the conference
committee reported progress.
The unfinished business comprising
the adoption of that portion of the
minutes of July 18th, relating to the
reports received from the various wards
was further postponed for one week
on motion of John O'Donnell.
MIR. Turner moved to adjourn.
Some person inquired if there was
not some unfinished business in the
shape of resolution offered at last
meeting, censuring the City Executive
Committee for organizing in defiance
o the wishes of the Association.
The chairman said he had no know
ledge of any such business, and the
Secretary said the resolution had been
Withdrawn.
VIM. Ii. Quinn then read the reso-
lutions adopted at the Eighth ward
Democratic meeting on Friday night,
in opposition to the proposed change
in the party rules requiring nomina-
tions to be made by convention instead
of by ballot. Quinn moved they be
adopted, but Mr.. Turner and others
reminding him of the Stiffness of such
a motion, he moved that the resolu-
tions be approved as the sentiments OF
the Association. The mo ion prevailed
with only few negative votes.
A motion was made that when the
Association adjourned it be until We'd
nesday evening next, to hear the re-
port of the Conference Committee.
MIR. Turner opposed this meeting,
as it gave the committee no time after
meeting with the Executive Commit
tee to prepare a report.
The motion was discussed pro and
con for several minutes, when Il. c.
Knight moved that the adjournment
be until Saturday night next. This
motion prevailed and the ASSOCIATE on
adjourned.
The session occupied about an hour,
and it is estimated that VIM. ii. Quinn
occupied full thirty minutes in his
frothy speeches.

Hawkins' Case.
THE PUGILIsTIC LETTER CARRIER
SUSPENDED, WITH A STRONG PRO-
BABILITY OF REMOVAL.

THE PUaILIsTIC LETTER CARRIER
SUSPENDED, WITH A STRONG PRO
liability OF REMOVAL.
James l.. Hawkins, whose little
"unpleasantness'' with Tom SayilIe
last Wednesday evening, created
such a stir in the Republican camp.
has been temporarily suspended
from his position of letter-carrier of
one OF the postal districts of this
city. The order of suspension was
issued by Postmaster Pyle on Friday
last, and is still in effect.
What the result will be, Postmas-
ter Pyle is not yet ready to say. He
has full authority to remove, as well
as TO suspend a letter-carrier, when
he has ample cause for such action.
A removal, however, is always re-
viewed by the Postoflice department
at Washington, but the action is
seldom reversed, and never unless it
appears the cause assigned by the
Postmaster is untrue or entirely in
sufficient. 1t is therefore reasonably
safe to predict that Hawkins will re-
celve his Walklng-papers before many
days.
The circumstances of the fight be-
tween Hawkins and Saville, at the
Republican City Executive Commit.
tee meeting, on last Wednesday
evening, are being investigated by
Postmaster Pyle, who finds the YER
sion of the affair given in the GA
zETTE to be just about correct
Hawkins removal would be hailed
with delight by the Pickels-Higgins
faction of the Republican party who,
knowing no more about politics than
a yellow dog, have always been jeal-
GUS of Hawkins, on account of his
superior influence with the voters,
particularly with the colored ele-
ment. The latter is already in a
state of ferment, and Jim can make
it hot for his Republican enemies
when the fight gets lively.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

Council held an adjourned meeting
saturday evening at Eighteenth ano
Market streets, with the intention
of establishing the grade of Jes-
sup's Road, SO that some curbing
might be done at its intersection witt
Eighteenth street. In considering the
question it was learned that Jessup's
Road is a county road, which made
the right of Council to establish the
grade very doubtful. Thereupon the
subject was referred to the Opening
Streets Committee and Council ad-
iourned.

Undoubtedly q Fraud.
CARRIE MILLER's PATHETIC STORY
KNOCKED INTO A Cooked HAT.

CARRIE MILLER'S PATHETIC STORY
KNOCKED INTO A Cooked HAT.
The pathetic story of Carrie Miller
whose recital of horrible outrages
perpetrated upon her in New York
created profound sympathy in Will
mington, turns out to be a whole
sale lie, and proves Miss Miller to
be one of the most extensive frauds
that ever held forth in this city.
When this vile woman arrived in
Wilmington, her pitiable condition
gave such an appearance of truth to
her words that her sad story was be-
lieved, and it was only by the efforts
to restore her to those she claimed
as her friends that the fraud was dis
covered.
The woman claimed that while in
! Reading she resided with Mrs. Ham,
ilton, at Ninth and Green streets,
and Mr.. Sam'l Moore, mail agent
on the Wilmington & Northern
Railroad, decided to call upon Mrs.
Hamilton, and acquaint her with
the sad condition of her young
friend. He called at Ninth and
Green, but found no Mrs. Hamilton
there while an examination of the
Reading directory failed to reveal
the existence of the Mrs. Hamilton
given by Carrie Miller. Mr.. Moore
returned to Wilmington convinced
that the woman was fraud.
On Saturday evening he called at
the house of Mr.. James Chance, 727
Madison street, where the girl had
been given a temporary home. Car
rie Miller expected his arrival-he
having previously Informed her OF
his expected mission to Reading
and as the time passed she grew
quite hysterical at the prospect OF
hearing from her beloved friend,
Mrs. Hamilton. Finally her hyster-
les increased until they assumed the
form of quite violent fit, from the
effects of which she was rolling on
the floor. When Mr.. Moore accom-
panied by friend, was admitted to
the room Mr.. Moore's first words
were for her to get up and not fool
decent people any longer. The
effect was electrical. The fit at once
subsidized and with considerable
energy for sick woman Carrie re-
sponded that she "didn't want them
coming there with their id lies."
To the good christian minds Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chance this oath was
conclusive proof of the girls wick
edness, and Mr.. Chance told her
she would have to go. She started
in a few minutes, going up Eighth
street, but she had not gone far be-
fore Mr.. Chance relented, and not
wishing to send her out at night,
went after her and prevailed upon
her to come back and stay all night.
At six O'Clock Sunday morning Mrs.
Chance aroused Carrie from her sim
full s'umbers and told her she must
go. :,
Breakfast was furnished her, and by
seven o'clock Carrie Miller was observ-
ed turning around the corner of Madi-
son street, and proceeding out Della
ware avenue. She has not been seen
or heard of since.
There is now no doubt that this
shameless woman was avile prostitute
and that the injuries she displayed to
excite sympathy were received in a
brawl with drunken tramps.
About seven weeks ago woman was
arrested by the Reading police for
drunken and dissolute habits, and there
is reason to believe she was the same
woman, who, as poor Carrie Miller, the
victim of mans brutality, so shamefully
deceived the good people of Wilmington.

HOW TO GET ALMOST
everything below value.

Every day during summer
all sorts of goods-remnants
and goods that for one reason
or another are in our way
are picked o.'t and put to-
gether to be sold at such
prices as they will bring.
They are undesirable for us
to hold; but they may be as
good for the buyer as any
thing we have,
We have sold already this
summer not less than $780,
600 worth of goods at irregu-
lar prices in this way for, say
$4,000, and many thousands
more are going. There is
something marked down at
nearly every counter in the
store.
Everything sold is return
