cept on behalf Of the nation this statue

| PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S SPEECH.
President Garfield was greeted with
loud applause and spoke in ID loud, clear
voice, as follows:
Fellow Citizens: 1t is the singular

tationS which separate the generations
Cf men from each other, and allow those

| the heroes Of other times. Men of three
wars have taken their places in silent ell
oquencc as guardians and guards of the
nation they loved SO well, and as the
years pass ON these squares and pub
| lie places will be rendered more and
more pOpulouS, more and more eloquent
by the presence of dead heroes of other
days. From all quarters Of the coun-
try, from all generations Of its life, from
all portions of its service, these heroes
'olllt ny lllc ministry anu mystery Ol
ART to take their places and stand as
permanent guardians of our nations
glory.
To-day we come to hail this hero who
comes from the sea, down from the
shrouds Of his flagship, wreathed with
the slloke and glory Of victory, bring
ing sixty years of national life and
honor, to take his place rs an honored
compatriot and perpetual guardian of
his nation's glory.
In the name Of the nation accept the
noble statue, and his country will guard
it as he guarded his country. Zap
plause.
Ex-pOStmaster General Maynard then

by Senator NOrheeS of Indiana. Both
paid eloquent tributes to the fame OF

TRINITY'S TRIBULATION.
The Troubie Assuming More se.
riOus PROPORTIONS.

The vestry Of the Trinity p. E. church
tried another plan last week to get the
Rev. DR.. Frost to resign. They invitod
Rev. Alfred LOuderback, d. o.. of
Philadelphia, to fill the pulpit. Mr..
Louderback accepted the invitation and
p esented himself to DR.. Frost in the
vestibule at the hour of opening
the services on Sunday morning and in.
formed the rector OF the object of his
visit. Hr. Frost replied that he could
not permit that, but that he should be
happy to have DIR. Louderbaek's as
sistance. The doctor answered that he
came to take charge, and as the rec
tor declined to give way he would
take his seat as one Of the con-
gregatiOn. He then accompanied
Mr.. Edward T. Candy, whose
guest he was, to his pew. Mr..
Frost conducted the services both morn
ing and evening, and Mr.. Louderbaek
returned to Philadelphia in the after
noon.
1t is stated that the vcStFy intended
to compel Mr.. Frost to resign. 1t is
possible that Bishop Lee will be asked
to issue decree of invitation and,
should the rector not regard this, an &C.
clesiastical tribunal will be called.

Remembering Delaware.

Ingersolls new lecture "Some Reasons
Why" is finished and he delivered it
in New York last Sunday evening. In
one Of its most radical parts is hard
hit at Delaware. Here it is: "a worse
Government was never established than
that established by Jehovah. In all
civilized countries it is asserted that
slavery is an infamous crime-that a
war of determination is murler-that
polygamy destroys homeS-that wives
should not be stoned to death. There
was time when Christian nations en-
tertaincd these views. Except in the
Fiji Islands and the interior of Africa,
and few cities of Delaware, no ohuman
being can be found degraded enough to
agree on these subjects with Jchhvah. y

The trouble at school No. 9, caused by
the resignation of Miss Elizabeth d.

obnoxious assistant was again safely
bridged over at the meeting of the Board
of Education last night, when the Teach
ers' committee made II report recom-
mending the following appointments

The report was accepted. The matter
at issue was the naming OF NJ ISIS Will
liams for No. o. Some members had
been expected to object but none of them
did so.
The committee on sites for new school
houses, through Mr.. Morrow, its fore
man, stated that they had visited
BrOwntown and viewed the school house
there, having had al offer from Mr.
Trump to take the present school build
ing at $50, subject to Il mort gage OF $500
The yard of the building is not at all
adapted to a larger building and some
increased accommodation would have
to be made for the children Of Brown
town.
DR.. Shortlidge of the same committee
stated that the building was inadequate
and not fit for school purposes. The
matter had been forced upon the Board
by the Legislature. He was opposed
to paving $500 for the old school house
and limited grounds.
Finally, Mr.. Morrow made a motion
that the Board take the property at
$50, subject to the $500 mortgage.
After considerable discussion in which
general disposition was expressed to
purchase n new lot and erect fine large
building in Browntown, the motion was
amended to refer the matter back to the
committee with power to consult coun-
sci, and if it was then deemed advisable
to purchase the property, to act. This
was adopted by the following vote
Ayes-Brooks, Furry, Fueckcl, Kyne,
Mclntire, Baird, Morrow, Shortidse
and President Conrad-9.
Nays-Betts, Hazlctt, HeiSler, Ken
