escape from a serious accident Monday.
He was driving the horses. attached to the
company's wagon. At seventh and Washing
ton streets the holt of the double tree broke,
letting the attachments down on the heels of
the animals and causing them to spring
suddenly away from the wagon, from which
the tongue was also severed by the accident.
All this was done Ill a instant, and the
driver, holding on to the reins, was thrown
violently forward, his head striking the
ground. This WAS caused partially by the
fact that his feet were underneath the rail
in front of the wagon, thus causing him to
fall head foremost. Beyond being slightly
skinned. he received no injuries except q
slight cut on the left leg. Tie horses ran to

CLERK M4RYEL'S JOURNAL.
He Explains Why He Awarded The
Printing of IL TO HIS Own Paper.

Clerk Marvel explains through his paper,
the SUSSEX Journal, why he awarded the
printing of the House journal tn his own
printing Office He says
The following are the bids;
Ferris Brothers. .......... IA cents per page
Sussex journal ........... 80 cents per page
Delaware Inquirer. ....... 80 cents per page
Delawarean ......... 100 cents per page
Gazette. ,.................1O 100 cents per page
'.After the time for receiving the bids had
passed. one was received from the Ners and
Advertiser of rs cents per page.
according to precedent which has been
established by previous clerks, Mr.. Marvel
determined TO give the contract to the paper
with which he was connected as one Of the
editors thinking that it would be '.most ad
vantageuus" to the State that the printing of
the journal should be under his own direct
and immediate supervision. 1t Is true
that this bid in six cents more than
that OF Ferris & Bros. and five cent?
more than that of the Ne.cs and Advertiser,
which would make the aggregate SUM paid
to the SUSSEX Journal $50 or $50 more than
would have been paid to the other parties had
the contract been given to either of them.
The law directing the clerk to advertise foi
proposals for publication of the journal
directs him to accept the ''lowest
and most advantageous, proposal. 1t Is
plain therefore that the Legislature did
not intend 10 restrict MN 10 Inc lowest D>u
but left him to exercise IL proper discretion as
to what was or what was not the most advan-
tageous proposal. This discretion has for
years past been exercised by former clerks in
the same manner az Clerk Marvel, who with
him did not deem themselves bound to the
merely lowest bidder"
Mr.. Marvel adds that he has suhlet the
contract to Kirk of Dover, finding he himself
conld not fulfil it without less. He also says
that in awarding the bid TO his own paper he
took into consideration the fact that his per
sonal expenses, for which the State REIN.
burses him, would thus be !, IS than otherwise.

his accustomed seat, within the railing,
The first case called was that of assault
and battery, against Manlntf Anderson
colored. A fine of 81 and costs was i'm
posed.
James Boyer, colored, was charged
upon the oa,h of LouiSia Lockman, col
ored, with being drunk and using abus-
moned to testify against the prisoner.
The last one to speak, was Il colored
man who did not seem to know much
about the case, which fact did not please 9

strative. She was III to keep quiet, ,
but she persisted in talking, and the
Mayor orllt red an officer to take her out

gon stand upon the street uuti the
horse is ready to be hitched up again.
Both defendant and complainant had
a number 'ot witnesses summOnedto give
their testimony pro and con. There
were twenty called and sworn. The
evidence for the defense brous sht out
the fact that Mr. Elliott did all he
could to suppress the nuisance, as it
was called by the com'laiuant The
ordinance however is very stringent in
regard to wagons, etc, standing on the
street without horse attached, and a
tine of s. and costs was imposed upon
Mr.. Elliott. The Mayor stated how
ever, that it was almo-t impossible for
any one in that business to conduct it
with any degree of success, without
violating the ordinance.
