MI. Taylor, although a young man.
has proved himself to be equal 10 the

business, he has shown himself to be
Il man of rare good sense and judg-
ment, combined with energy and IL
determination to make 4 succ cSs, and
willing to put his shoulder to the
wheel of progress whenever nece'-
sary. Such men comingto this Great

energy have built up this country and
large and profitable businesses for
themselves, and through their success
have attracted the attention of the
whole civilized world to i country

DAvITT'S DENIAL.
He Says There is No Deficiency I'm tho
Land League Funds.

LONDON, Oct. 22.--An anonymous com
munication appeared in the Irish Times last
week i'm which 1t was asserted by the writer,
who pretended to base his conclusions on an
examination of the financial statements OF
the Ladies' Land League as they appeared
from time to time in the Dublin papers and
comparison OF the same with Mr.. Eagan's
statement to the conference, that there was
an understatcment by Mr.. Eagan of receipts
from the general fund of the Land League
amounting to EOS ,0S6, and an over estimate
of expenditures by Ell 1854 which were un-
accounted for. Justin Mccarthy, NJ. p,
| and Michael Dayitt, who arc trustees of the
Land League fund, and Mr.. Mccarthy, Jr.,
who is acting as his fathers secretary, have
been interviewed on the subject. They dc
clare from their personal knowledge that
| the accusations are utterly unfoundcd, and
arc a pack of charges which have been
circulating among the Liberal party ever
| since the Land League was organized. All
| their information points to the fact that the
nom dc plume "One who Knows by which
| the communication is signed is the one used
| by Arnold Forster in pamphlet attack on
| the League. Mr. Davitt, besides scouting
the charges as false, entered into explana-
tions with regard to certain paragraphs OF
( the communication. In regard to an accu-
sation in the letter that Mr.. Egan, though
| accountable iOf tne rcilct, etc., OneIcu
through the Ladies' Land League, did not
give any account of the money he received
| through 1t, Mr.. Davitt explains that this was
simply because Mr.. Egan did not receive
anything from that source every sixpencC
collected by the ladies was expended by th'
ladies and that they moreover since Marcl
last have drawn upon Mr.. Egan for CSC, 900
Mr.. Davitt states that when Mr.. Parncl
and himself had conversation in which
Mr.. Parnell spoke of the Ladies League Al
being somewhat profusc in expenditures
In regard to charge In the letter that Mr.
Parnell had stated at meeting that the ex
penscs of the organization never exceeded
Rl50 weekly neither he nor Mr.. Davit
remember any such utterance by Mr.. Par

of the greatest activity of the League tina

fortress, and is a unique conception. Stands
for spectators to witness the different parades

entire day, and every train arriving brought
in visitors by hundreds, excursion rates hav-

In most OF the churches yesterday sermons
were preached on the subject of Penn's

Before the Mayor.

Daniel Doughcrty was fined 81 and costs
by the Mayor yesterday morning for interfer-
ing with a police officer, who arrested some
boys for disordcrly conduct on Friday night
on jackson street. The defense was that
Dougherty saw the officer, who wore q
citizens overcoat and hat, taking the boys
along, and asked him what business he had
to make an arrest When the officer showed
his star he claims to have made no further
remark but was arrested by two other
officers.

officer who arrested him, was fined $5 and
costs, and number of plain drunks were
disposed of.
One drunk was settled this morning and
John Mcbride, aged 25, was fined $40 and
costs for assaulting Sarah Jane Cantwell and
threatening his father, who testified that he
was in bodily fear of his life from the unruly
son. The assault on the woman, who lives
with the Mcbride family was committed
last night, while she and the jefendant's
mother were on their way to church. When
McBride's father swore to the assault the
latter angrily exclaimed "That's lie !"
When asked If he had anything to say he
said that the fathers story was "a positive lie
and bare face lie." The prisoner was also
put under bonds to keep the peace.

Dover, Oct, %, lsS2--As an earnest of
the statements promised of the accounts of
the collectors of the various hundreds of
this county, which that highly moral and
responsible journal the Morning NeUs states
show Deficiencies TO the amount OF $Sf ,565.2l ,
from 1871 to 1876, the accounts of the col
lectors of Dover hundred are herewith sub
mitted. In the table published by the Ncrs
on the 18th, this hundred is set down as
being in arrears to the amount of the very
insignificant sum of SIC, ,394.6l. It will be
observed by examining the subjoined state
ments that not one cent has been lost to the
county through collectors Of Dover hundred
but that the collector has actually been over
paid % cents. The payments are not given
in detail by dates on account of taking uI
too much newspaper room.

The story is printed that the notorious
Richard Harrington, who is now managing
the Republican campaign in Delaware, will
himself be candidate for the United states
Senate in the event that the Legislature is
Republican. There is nothing at all inn
probable In this statement. Harrington is
doing all that is possible to debauch the
State and he is giving particular attention
TO the choice of members of the Legislature.
What money can do will doubtless be done,
but money has never been very potent in
fiuence with the honest voters of Delaware,
and 1t would be strange, indeed, If they
should yield this year to benefit man like
Harrington. His prominence in the canvass
and his kind of campaign ought TO be a
sufficient reason to every decent voter OF the
State for doing everything possible to pre-
vent the humiliation of Delaware.

amongst other things, that the Democratic

Mr.. Bird know that for 40 years under Dem
