SCANDAL i'm philaaeiphi..

At the last municipal election in Phil
adelphia the people chose Receiver Of
Taxes who agreed to perform the duties
of the office for certain specified libe-
raj salary. 1t seems that by one Of those
curious laws that were passed during the
reign of the Ring 3 subordinate In the
office of the Receiver Of Taxes was al
lowed to collect. under the name Of
''commissions," sum amounting to be-
tween two and three hundred thousand
dollars year. This incredible amount
was divided up among the leaders Of the
Ring. Upon the accession of the reform
candidate to Office he removed the COL
lector of Delinquent Taxes and ap-
pointed another gentleman In his place
the intention being to turn over the
money to the treasury, where 1t be-
longed. The Board Of Select Council,
under the direction OF t@ Ring, have
refused to approve the bond Of the new
appointee, and so the abuse which the
people rebuked by q large majority In
the spring stands unchecked In the au.
tumn.
We have rarely seen, even In the mis-
government of Philadelphia, so wantor
and SO fragrant defiance Of the populal
will. 1t Is, of course, q misfortune tba
the public money should be so squan
dered, but in the end we have no doubI
it will be to the gain Of Philadelphia
The influence of this transaction will bl
felt at the next elect. ons, which We trus
will result in sweeping these rogues oui
of office.

A Marylana HemfsfAs.


Last Thursday, man named Windsr
Culvert, formerly resident Of Delmar,
Sussex county, but now residing In WI
comico county, Nd, went cunning upon
the farm Of Francis Hattop, near Guam
tico, WicCmico county. He had been
forbidden to come upon the farm, and
Hatton, seeing him, went out and or
dered him to leave. This Culvert re-
fused to do,and he replied In an insolent
manner.
More talk followed, and finally the
owner of the land endeavored to put
Culvert off the place by force. Tbs
was resisted, and finally Culvert grasPed
the barrel OF his gun and struck Hatton
q terrible blow on the head.
The skull was fractured, and tho
force of the blow was such that the
stock Of the gun was shattered into
fragments. Mr.. Hatton died shortly
after.
Culvert has not good reputation In
Delmar. He is man about 26 years
of age. he LETT the vicinity after the
murder and has not been seen since.
NOT DEAD, BUT DYING.
This mornings advices from Sails
bury, Md, state that Hatton 10 mot yet
dead but is SO low that there are NO
hopes of his recovery. The circum-
stances of the assault are about ~ re-
lated above.

A Ships RIBS BENDER
An Important Invention by q Will
mn mlDgtOnlan.

To morrow, at Cramps ship yard,
Philadelphia, test will be given to q
machine for bending and bevellng iron
ship ribs, invented by Mr.. VIM. e.
Highfield. 1t consists essentially of four
conical rollers, which are 80 controlled
by cam molten that the operator can
al pleasure vary the angle of the bar to
that required as 1t passes through the
rollers. The straight L-shaped bar 10
introduced between the rollers directly
from the furnace.
An index hand exhibits 10 the opera
tor the angle at which the bar is passing
through, and this angle can be increased
or decreased at his pleasure according TO
the prepared schedule needed for the
bar. The only thing left to do is to bend
the bar into the shape Of that vertical
section of the vessel for which 1t is de.
| signed. These angle bars are placed AZ
| distances of only two feet apart, so that
there are 100 pairs In large vessel. 1t
| is calculated that the use of the machine
| will save one fourth of the labor now
employed in bending the ribs OF vessel,
besides greatly increasing the strength
and sol.dity of the hull aud lessening
the cost of repairs, of which the wear
caused by the fact that the plates do not
fit closely to the frame as now prepared
is one OF the main items. The machine
stands four feet high, is five feet long
and Two feet broad and weighs six
thousand pounds. Mr.. Hghfeld, The in-
ventor, Is man about fifty five years oi
age aud has all of his lite been apracti.

THE AIR LINE PROJECT REVIVED
A party OF capitalists and engineers
passed down the Delaware Railroad on
Saturday to view the old surveyed route
for an air line railroad from Newtown,
Md, through Accomac and Northamp-
ton counties, Va, a distance Of II miles
TO Cherrystone, on the Chesapeake bay
It is twelve miles from Cherrystone
across the Chesapeake TO Ocean view,
and nine miles from Ocean View to
Norfolk, Va. This Is the old air line
route aud would shorten the distance
very much and avoid the al!-night ride
from Baltimore By steamer.

Annual Reception.

The third annual reception of the
Norma social Club takes place in
Webster's Dancing Academy, Masonic
Temple, on Friday evening next. The
Norma Is one of the most successful
of the many social clubs in this city,
its members being composed of well
known young men. The coming ball
will probably be the last one given by
the club, as it is the intention of the
members hereafter to give private re-
ceptions to their friends. Those who
enjoyed the hospitalities of the club
at their ball last season will no doubt
attend the one on Friday next. Every
arrangement has been made to make
it an enjoyable affair.

SATURDAY NIGHT HAPPENINGS
Local incidents In Wilmington ON
the Closing Night OF the Week.

Local sncfdents IN wilmington On
the Closing Night Of the Week.
Last Saturday night was marked by
more general drunkenness and disorder
than have been known on Saturday
night for several months.
Early In the evening VIM. McElwee,
living at No. 40l +. Front street, bru-
tally beat his wife, kicking her out into
the street, back into The house again and
out in the yard. He only desisted when
the police were seut for aud then he ran
away. His wife, when the police ar.
rived, was one mass OF blood and
bruises, but for all she had been SO NAL
treated she did not want her husband
arrested. II he had not slipped away
the police would have taken him not
withstandlng her protests.
The Local Preachers met In Asbury
church daring the evening and finished
their programme with the exception OF
Yesterdays sermons.
A stirring feature OF Saturday night
was the brutal assault upon policeman
Robert w. Chambers, which will be
found fully reported elsewhere.
The same gang that beat ofhcer
Chambers thrashed another man earlier
In the evening ON King street near Sc
cond. They bad been on a drank all
day and were as bad and vicious as
| LIQUOR and naturally mean depraved dis
positions could make them. Their in-
crceration will be relief to the decent
portion of the community.
The entertainment of the l. X. l. 5.
Society of Wesleyan Female College,
in the College Oratory, Saturday night
was largely attended and proved quite
interesting. An instrumental duet

Booth, one of the College teachers
Miss Jenny Stevens gave a finely
executed instrumental solo, and thu
Society paper, Wesleyania, containing
many bright thoughts and witty sug.
eestions, was read by Miss Hattie T
Belt. A vocal solo, by Miss Elm;
Bryan, which deserved and received
hearty applause, came next, and Mis-
Lizzie Irwin read with splendid eftec
a selection from Mark Twain's Inno
