The railroad bill now before the

To call our roads muddy would
not do them justice, for they are in
terrible condition, and our fast

stay In the rear Of the slow old pillow

the journey in that manner.
There will be a general stirring
up among the storekeepers of this

Brockson will remove from his old
stand, and carry on his usual bust
ness in large commodious store

that country merchant usually
does in the stand made vacant by X.

bookkeeping more profitable than
teaching the young idea how to

DOVER, Feb. 90.
RAILRoAps.


When they fully realized the true
status of The railroad question down
here q burst of condemnation escaped
and in fact curses were heaped upon
those who tempered with the Legislature
used their bogus arguments, aud delay-
ed legislation that would be most bene-
fetal TO the State of Delaware. The
prevalent opinion with both sides (that
is members of the Legislature and I'M
fed gentlemen) is that the interested
lobbyists have stabbed the State TO the
heart.
Not only as TO the increase of revenue,
the relax of q burdensome revenue up.
on the freighting men, but the impurity,
which, unless some remedJ is inm edi-
ately appeared TO the further political
condition of our State. BY delay in the
passage OF most meritorious bill from
one strong corporation we have fallen in
to the hands Of another much more pro
tent. Let condemnation rest upon these
men. Let the majesty of Delaware as
sert itself aud consisn them to political
damnation.
But again 1t is said We must have a
competing line at least a charter for
one. In two years hence our legislation
would be so controlled that it would be
impossible to get charter against this
monster combination of corporations.
Amendments TO the Delaware Western
bill are spoken OF. The exact nature OF
them we do not know. But there Is
this much about it, il is opposition 20
monopoly, that is the watch word.

As we Indicated would be the case
some time ago, the official vote for
President at the late election shows that
Hancock received a plurality vote over
Garfield of several thousand ballots.
The total vote was 8, l69,2l3, of which
Hancock received 4,424, 100; Garfield.
4,4l6,5s4; Hancock's majority being
o,l08. Taking into consideration the
total vote cast II will be seen that Gar
field was not tie choice of the people
for the high office, having rec ived a mi
nority of 1885, 45 votes. OF course the
popular vote counts for nothing In
reaching the result, but the fact is worth
remembering AS showing that the Demo
cratic party preserves its great numerl-
cal strength and is really the party of
the majority Of voters. Four years ago
we not only elected Tilden by large
plurality popular vote over Hayes, but
also caves him a majority of the cleo.
toral vote, aud yet IN one case the ex
pressed will of the people was set aside
by The grossest fraud, and in the other
tue majority are compelled TO yield
simply because faction of the party
Ia New York led BY John Kelly treacb-
erously gave the electoral vote of that
State to the Republican nominee.
These facts should not be Forgotten.

HEAVY RAIN--ENTRRTAINME

Correspondence Of the Gazette.
NEWARK, Feb. %, 1881.
The heavy rain on Friday night last
swelled the waters of the creek to
such high proportions that Dean s.
Bon were compelled to cease operation
ON Saturday. 1t is said the creek was
higher on Saturday than it was when
the ice broke and came down.
The entertainment given by Homer
D. Cope for the benefit of Osceola
Lodge on Saturday evening was not
patronized as it was expected it would
be, and it is said by some that it did
not come up to their xpectations.-
The Citizens Cornet Band rendered
some favorite pieces both before and
after the entertainment.
The young men of the NJ. E. Church
assisted by the pastor, Rev. j. A.
France, are endeavoring to form a
Young Mems Christian Association,
The committee on ways and means,
&c, will meet on Friday evening next
after which further developments will
be made public.
Protracted services still continue at
st. Johns Church, COL, with growing
interest.
The Ledger Office will be sold at
public sale, probably on or about the
LIST of March. There are quite a num-
Der of applicants which renders il a
very hard matter to tell who will be
its future editor, but circumstances
seem to point to one of Newark's
young men, who, judging from the
past, is able, no doubt to put out a
very readable sheet.

THE DILLsBURG ABDUCTION

YORK, February 2l.-The abduc-
ton Of Kate Farrell, highly re-
spectacle young girl, daughter of
DIR. Farrell, of Dillsburg, forms the
chief subject of comment among the
residents of that place. Miss Far
rel is described as a comedy and at
tractive girl of fifteen, who had
many admirers of the opposite sex
Among the gentlemen visiting her
was Charley Newman, whom the
father had, for some reason, denied
admittance TO the home circle. This
was some time ago, and with age
the love of Newman for Miss Farrell
constantly increased. A mutual
friend of the two, named alexander
Harbold, came to their assistance on
Thursday evening, and invited Miss
Farrell out for drive. She accepted.
and they went to Merchandising.
The father says that the proprie-
tor OF the hotel, John Ringwalt, took
Miss Farrell to room, locked the
door, and upon the ar rival of New
man, the chief in the conspiracy the
key was given him. Newman pros
ceeded forthwith to where his idol
was imprisoned, but just at this
stage, DIR. Farrell, who had traced
the abductors, came upon the scene
and secured his daughter and took
her home.
Harbold was arrested on the spot
and entered bail. Young Newman
will be brought to York tomorrow and
will be held likewise for an appear.
ance at Court. With an elopement
at Glen Rock, the lower end of the
county, which occurred last week and
an abduction at the oounty's northern
border society here has abundance OF
material for discussion.
