in thru bitten several other CANNES. All

SMITHS EXCURSION.

SEVEN HUNDRED PEOPLE LEAVE THIS
CITY FOR CoNEY IsLAND-A LARGE
NUMBER LEFT.
The largest excursion that has ever
left this city for Coney Island left this
morning under the management of p.
II. E. Smith.
The tickets from this city were num-
bered to seven hundred, and two hun
dred from Chester. Every ticket from
this city was sold on Saturday evening
before 0 o'clock, and the same state OF
affairs existed at Chester. AS usual
large number of people delayed pur-
chasing tickets thinking they could
procure them at the depot this morn
ing before the train started. In this
they were disappointed, for upon ar
irving at the depot they found that
every ticket was sold.
This, of course, was a keen disap-
pointment to them. When the train
| left there were at least one hundred
and fifty persons that could not pro-
cure tickets. The train left at 6:45
and consisted of eighteen passenger
cars, fourteen of which were filled.
The other four were reserved for Ches-

SECOND EDITION
A MIDNIGHT ASSAULT.

SALOON KEEPER CALLED FROM
OUT HIS HOUSE AND TERRIBLY
BEATEN.
Frederick Staibb is proprietor of
the Reading Railroad House, stu
ated on Front street, near Madison
street.
On Saturday night, about IL
o'clock, a few minutes after Mr..
Staibb had closed his place of bust
ness, some one rang the bell attach
ed to the side entrance door. The
wife of the proprietor responded to
the call, but before opening the door
she inquired who was there. AS she
received no answer, she retired to
the dining room, and informed her
husband of the fact. Mr.. Staibb
thereupon went to the door and
cautiously opened it. He had no
sooner done so than he was seized
around the legs, and before he could
offer any resistance was forcibly
dragged from his door to the pave
ment.
When the parties had succeeded
van "ih0 hAhl upOh ohO poNOibOhOi
they commenced, as he AYERS, TO beat
him with blackjacks, until he was in
sensible. So rapid were they in
their assault that he was unable to
make an outcry.
Two men who were in the saloon at
the time, heard the noise and started
for the door, and upon arriving there,
saw two men engaged in beating the
proprietor. Upon being discovered
the midnight assailants fled.
Mr.. Stab was assisted into the
house, and upon examination 1t was
found that he had received deep cash
above one of his eyes, and that he was
considerably bruised about the face
and chest.
This morning he is feeling very sore
and it is with great pain that he uses
his right arm.
Mr.. Stab is Of the opinion that his
assailants were VIM. Campbell anG
Frank Stidham, but what their objec
was in thus assaulting him, he is com
| pletely in the dark.

Plain Words for Richard.
rom the Dalawarean


In the Netcs of Friday morning is
what purports to be the substance of q
speech made by Richard Harrington,
Esq, In Wilmington, on Thursday
night. We are sure that no one who
knows Richard would expect TO find
much of wisdom in his utterances, but
we doubt whether any would have
written him down such as ass as the
Neacs's report makes him. If the re-
port of his speech is at all correct, there
never W as perhaps greater piece ofego-
tlstic buffoonery witnessed by the ignOr-
ant negroes he addressed. Impressed
with his own greatness, he modestly
Informed the meeting that "I could
make better speech for him (Hancock)
than any Democrat in Delaware.
Certainly 1t was not necessary to adver-
tise that fact, for Richard is not wholly
unknown to the people of Delaware.
They have at least heard of him before
he is not unknown to fame, and there
was no necessity therefore for self laud-
alton, even by an advertisement Of his
oratorical powers. He may be a very
effective speaker where he is, but he
will not be employed to stump the
State for Hancock, and If he was hon.
estly in favor of his election the Demo-
Gratis Of Delaware would prefer that il
should not be known.
