THE WINTER OF 1880 THE MILDRsT ON
RECORD

THE WINTER OF 1880 THE MILDRsT ON
RECORD.
The record of the weather for the past
ninety lone years shows that the present
winter Is th9 warmest we have had du-
ring that period. The average tempera-
ture OF the winters during that period
WINS 81 81 degrees, while the average
temperature Of the past winter was rs
high ~ S8.65 degrees. IL would seem
that such warm weather during the
winter months would be injurious to
health, but the statistics of deaths for
the months of February, 1879 and. 1880,
prove that such Is no: the case this year.
During that month last year 1t ralned
but twice, the other storms being snow;
IN the same month this year 10 rained on
six different days, the amount of water
falling being nearly double that Of the
previous year.
The temperature during that time was,
on an average, 8 degrees warmer than
during the corresponding time of The
previous year, yet In 1879 the number of
deaths was ,446, while in 1880 the num-
her was 1,211. The warm weather has
had an effect on vegetation. Dandelions,
trailing arDutds, and kindred plants are
In full bloom, and trees are beginning TO
bud. 1t Is reported that in Maryland.
the peach buds are swelling. If that 10
so, and the buds burst, 10 will injure the
crop for the coming season. rr H.

THIS MORNINGS SESSION.

SEVERAL. MEN Assessed THIS MORNING g,
AND A RECESS TAKEN FOR THE PUR-
POSE OF PREPARING FOR THE ELEC-
TIoN OF CoNsTABLEs.
New CASTLE, March 5.-The Levy
Court assembled at 10:30 O'Clock this
morning, and after .he reading of the
minutes commenced the work ofputting
persons on the assessment. Several
white Republicans were in waiting, and
of course were showed In ahead of the
negroes, some of whom had already
been in attendance three days.
Among the men thus put forward was
Edward Scuily, formerly member of
Mayor Simms' police foi ce, but now an
active Republican party worker.
The following names were ordered to
be nut upon the assessment list:
Hugene B. Messick, Eighth Ward,
Wilmington.
Edward j. Scully, Ninth Ward.
Wm. Kaiser, Fourth Ward.
Jos, Fl. Booth, Third Wa d.
Daniel Groves, COL, First Ward.
John w. Dorsey"

At ten minutes past eleven O'Clock,
the Court, on motion OF Mr. WILSON,
TOOK recess for the purpose Of Lrepar-
ing for the election Of constables and
bridgetenders
THIS action on the part :of the Court
was the occasion OF violent outburst
from James l.. Hawkins, who pro-
nounced the proceedings as vile
trick to prevent the assessments.
He asserted that the men In wait
ing bsd a right to be assessed, and II the
Levy Court evinced disposition not TO
nut them on rhe lists, the United States
Court would compel them to.

Sun flower seed makes very fine oil,
very large quantity of this seed would
sell at the oil mills at st. Louis and else
where, II it could be obtained. The num-
Der OF bushels of this seed that can bo
produced upon an acre is very large
We have heard as high as 250 bushels.
But we think this estimate altogether
too high. If one half of this amount, it
would be paying crop. It.. would Al

AT 4 O'Clock, the Court adjourned un-
I'll 10:30 o'clock Tomorrow morning, at
which session County CoDstables and
bridge-tenders will be elected.
The only noticeable event of the after
noon was the rask injustice practised
upon the negroes by two of their white
Republican allies, Tom Sayille and Dan
Stewart. Two white Republicans had
driven over from Whining on to be assess
ed, and notwithstanding many of the ne
groes had been 10 waiting two days, these
white Republicans were pressed In ahead
by Saville and Stewart, who urged a. a
reason for their preference that they
were "white men aud business men, and
wanted to get back TO Wilmington soon" !"
With this convin"iEg but anti-Republi-
can argument they prevailed upon Mr..
Commissioner Wier TO accommodate
them, and the names Of Frank A..
Mitchell and Charles Z. Smith went
upon the lists, In advance of full fifty
negroes who were waiting their turns to
be assessed.
Among the negroes put on the lists
during the afternoon were Henry Jen-
kins, Jr., and James Singer, the parties
who were induced to bring suits against
Assessors Ward and Hughes for not
assessing them. As they are now OH 1t
will doubtless knock the bottom out Of
their cases, which had no foundation at
any rate, and were only inciled through
the malici0usness of the white party
managers.

ADVOCATES OF COMPETING ROUTES
HEARD BY A HOUSE sUB-CoMMIT-
TEE-EsTIMATED COST OF ONE CA
NAL So 900, 900, AND OF THE OTHER
s16, 6,50O,000.
WASHINGTON, March A sub
committee of the House Committee on
Railways and Canals, to which had
been referred bill for the construc-
tion of ship canal across the penin-
sula between the Chesapeake and Del
aware bays, gave hearing this morn
ing to advocates of the competing
routes. There are practically but two
routes to be selected from, one known
as the Sassafras route, which is within
ten miles of the line of the existing
Chesapeake and Delaware canal, and
the other known as the Choptank
route. The Sassafras route leaves
Chesapeake bay little north of Balti-
more and strikes straight across to the
Delaware river. Its entire distance is
1894 miles, of which 116 1-5 miles
would be canal proper or excavation
generally above low water. The esti-
mated cost is about $4,000, 600. The
saving in time, as compared with the
existing water route to or from Balti-
more by Cape Henry for steamers is
calculated at 1S IA hours and saving
in distance of 1861 miles.
The Cboptank route is most southerly
of sll the projected lines and would
strike Delaware bay little north Of
Cape Henlopen. Its total length IS
l49 4-6 miles, of which 81 S-6 would be
canal proper or excavation generally
above low water. Its cost Is estimated
at $l6,5OO,OOO. The saving Of time as
compared with the existing water route
to or from Baltimore for steamers Is cal
culated at 131 hours, and the saving in
distance at IT'S miles.
The hearing to-day was opened by
Mr.. James T.. Randolph, chief engi-
neer of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, who stated the points in favor of
the Choptank route as being especial
ly in the interest of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad and of the trade and com
mcrce developed by that road and its
tributaries of the southwest and also
as best serving the trade Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad and its tribu-
taries. He was followed on the same
side of the question by Mr.. VIM. ii.
Smith, civil engineer, of Easton, Md.
He advocated the southern route as
being less liable to distractions by ice
than the Sassafras route and as being
better situated for the facilitating of
commerce. He admitted, however,
that it could not be built by private
enterprise but would have to be a ma
tionai work. The objections to the
Sassafras route were combated by MIR.
Tyler, Mr.. George Kennedy '(who is
familiar with the navigation of that
region) and by Richard Randolph,
civil engineer.

WASHINGTON, March AIN execu-
tive session to-day the Senate rejected
the nomination of General Mcneil to
be Census Supervisor in Missouri.
The rejection was effected by the very
decisive vote of SO naysagainst z yeas.
This action was basedupon an adverse
report from the Judiciary committees,
accompanied with statement to the
effect that General Mcneil, inthe year
1852, while in command of United
States troops at Palmyra, Mo-, ordered
the execution of eleven citizens ofthat
neighborhood who had been arrested
but not yet tired, on general charge
of "bushwhacking," and did execute
ten of them without trial, as measure
of 80 called retaliation for the alleged
abduction and supposed murder Of q
Union man in The same county. Nc
NeiPs orders required the execution of
these prisoners if the missing Unionist
was not returned within certain
period, and as nothing was heard from
the latter the orders were carried into
effect by McNeips provost marshal up
on the designated day.

'RIthmetIc Lesson

Several men were gathered at the
door of blacksmith shop ON Cass av-
enue, the other morning, when a
schoolboy not over nine years of age,
come along with tears in his eyes, and
one of the group asked:
Whats the matter, boy fall
DOWN." "N-o; but I've hard 'rith-
metic lesson and l used to be king
bee on fractions.
The man took the book, turned to
the page and read:
"RULE Find the least common
multiple of the denominators of the
fracti ons for the least common den-
ominato r. Divide this least common
denominator by each denominator,
and multiply both terms of the frac-
tions by the quotient ATTAINED bs each
denominator. '-.
He read the rule aloud and asked il
anyone could undersla and it. All shook
the r heads, and he then continued;
"Well now, l think l should go to
work and discover the least un-
common agitator. would then evolve
a parallel according to the intrinsic
deviator and punctuate the ther
mometer." 'ra.+ .-
$50 would p answered every man
in chorus, a one Of them added,
I've worked 'em out in that way a
thousand times"
Not one of the men, all of whom
were in business and had made
money =, could understand the work
ing of the rule, much less work ex-
ample by it, and it was expected that
nine-year-old boy should 60 to the
blackboa d and do every sum offhand.

daughter Of Dr. Flsher, Of Caud dem.

daughter Of DIR. Fisher, OF Camden.
They were married on September 18th,
1872, by Rev. DIR. samuel Brinkley, of
Middletown. They at first resided with
the brides father, but Afterwards re-
moved TO Dover, where two sons were
born. Here bis wife died, which was q
g'eat blow to Mr.. Clayton, and had IL
not have been for promise exacted by
his beloved wife that be would see after
the welfare OF his two sons he would
have sunk 10 the lowest depths Of degra-
dation.
The great love for his wife made him
remain cold TO all others, as he ala ays
considered himself his young wife's l0v-
er, and always any suggestions TO marry
again. 4..'
In 1927 he retired from the bar, and
accepted the position Of Chief Justice,
which office he held for the term OF
three years, when he resigned. So great
was his judgments, and 30 correct
were his decisions, that, during
the time he held the office, uot one wri
OF error was ever Issued. Upon retiring
from the Office Of Chief justice, his le-
gal life virtually ceased, but he was still
sought after, by those having great
cases. He was appointed to conduct the
case between this State and New Jersey,
on the question Of "Pea Patch Island"
In which case he bad as tan assistant TO
Hon. James A. Bayard. The opinion
which he delivered In that case, was the
greatest ever known. ....
Tie speaker then took up the distin-
gnisbed Rentiemap's political life. Dur
ing the years l8l6.17-i9, he served In the
lower house Of the State Legislature. In
1920 he was also appointed Auditor Of
Accounts, which position he held for
two years. In 1924 he was appointed
Secretary Of State, holding the office tor
four years.
The speaker next at some length, re-
ferred TO the circumstances that led
Clayton 10 cast his lot with the Federal
Party.
In the memorable campaign Of 1928,
Delawaf gave her voice for Adams and
the Adams men having q majority in
the legislature elected John M CLAY ton,
to the U 8. Senate in 1929 when he wss
only IS years Of age; Henry M. Ridgeley
was his competitor. He took his seat In
the Senate n lS30, and was the youngest
member of tina: body.
/. Those who knew him In Washington,
say that he enjoyed greater personal
popularity than any other Senator. He
entered into all great debates, and was
always listened TO with profound atten'
ton. The speaker reviewed at some
length the course of Clayton in the Sen-
ate and concluded by saying that any
time the SO ociety desired him TO read the
remainder Of the memoir he would glad
ly do SO.
Before the audience dispersed n vote
Of thanks was rendered the speaker on
moiion OF DR.. Bush.
The reading was listened TO with the
