LOCAL OPTION IN CECIL.
A Correspondent Says It Has Not Been
Failure in ANY Sense.


A correspondent of the Oxford, Pa.
Press, in alluding to recent article In the
GAZETTE upon the violation of the Local
Option law in Cecil county, which the Press
In part copied, says
"As a resident of the county and close
observer of the working local option we
assure you it is a grand success. We have
only one-half the number of public houses
that existed under the license law, and there
is not one-fourth the amount of liquor drank
now that was then. We have less crime
committed as the result of drinking, as is
shown by our court records. The carousing
round public houses day and night, the
treat and being treated, the waste of time
and money that were so lamentably preva-
lent under the license system is virtually
well nigh thing Of the past. Trade and
business of all kinds, save liquor selling,
has never been better; store bills are less
aud more promptly paid and the wives and
children of drunkards are better clothed and
fed.
The people of Hartford county are to vote
on local option in November and the
friends of Temperance expect soon to have
that wise law In force In Delaware The
whisky party is greatly alarmed In Delaware
and Hartford county, and are spending
money freely and sending out false reports
to papers as freely to save their vile traffic
from ruin.
The t. importance people of Cecil are very
well satisfied with the results of local
option. They never expected to stop rum
drinking entirely, but they did expect to
largely reduce the quantity of rum drank
and the temptation to drink and in this
they have not been disappointed. When
Delaware, Hartford county and Chester
county become " clothed and in their right
mind" ON this question we shall have still
less rum drinking in Cecil

HARRINGTON, DEL, Oct. 20.--In the
steadily falling rain for two hours yesterday
afternoon an Immense crowd Of Democrats
and Republicans stood, patient and inter-
ested, before Coles hotel, and listened to ad-
dresses by leading Democratic speakers; and
at night fully l 900 people gathered around
stand on the outskirts of the town to hear
Senator Bsyard on local issues and matters
of State importance.
At both meetings Mr.. sorden prtAded,
and the first speaker was Attorney General
Gray, who argued long and earnestly on
the general question that there was nothing
in the Democratic government to induce the
people to make change to the questionable
leadership of the Republicans in this State.
Mr.. Gray's speech was well considered and
very forcible. He was followed by /. c.
Grubb Esq, who during the course
of bis remarks said that the
claim that the Republicans were the
true friends of the school system was false
and hypocritical. With one-half of their
voters negroes, the Republicans would be
compelled to give them mixed schools. He
cited the fact that one of their own leaders,
James X. Lofand, voted in favor the Civl
Rights bill in 1874 when It contained the
provision requiring mixed schools In every
State, and tn afterwards he voted against
it when the mixed school clause was stricken
out.
Congressman Martin, the next speaker,
handled the subject of Democratic economy
as compared with Republican extravaganza
and said the 500 school houses proposed
by Dick Harrington at every cross road
would cost $500, 600 before they were built.
THR EVENING MEETING
was a decided success, despite the bad
weather. Senator Bayard spoke first aud
his reception was enthusiastic. He dwelt
chiefly with matters of State government, and
laid particular stress upon the fact that Del
aware has been governed economically and
well. He urged the people with great
earnestness, not to trust the leaders of the
Republican party who had not that purity
of character or that honesty which inspired
trust. He eloquently said that the honor
of State trusted to bad hands Tor
even a short time might tarnish 1t and
| its good name forever. The record of the
Republican leaders was dwelt upon at
length in a general way, and the people were
warned against the evil effect of profiigate
rule which had been crushed in the District
of Columbia. Mr.. Bayard's speech was
listened to attentively and was frequently
applauded.
John H. Paynter, ESQ.,, of Georgetown
followed In his happiest mood, and he made
many telling hits which he illustrated with
side-splifting stories. He argued that
1t was impossible for the people of
Delaware to give control to the class
| of men who were seeking power for the Re-
| publican party. He congratulated the
Democrats on the Ohio victory and said
Delaware would give q larger Democratic
majority than ever. The meeting was =
very successful one.

A TENACIOUS CERTAIN.
Clinging to q Mans Hand After Belng
Scalted, Cut and Beaten.
tLoulsville, KY, Commercial. ]


peculiar case of poisoning was devel-
oped yesterday in the case of Mr.. Conrad,
the tobacconist, who lives on Market street,
near Thirty fourth. Attached to the house
in which he lives Is very large yard. For
some years back Mr.. Conrad has been much
interested in Horticulture, working In his
garden every morning and evening. Early
yesterday morning, just before breakfast, he
was trimming some dead sprigs from q
small rosebush In one corner of his yard,
when he heard something hiss.
He took hold of the dead member and had
just gotten the clippers upon 1t when he felt
painful sting In the ficshy part OF the right
hand, and at the same time his ear marked
the cessation of the strange noise. He
jerked In his hand, upon feeling the prick,
but to his great horror there came along
with and fastened to 1t q large mottled
snake with head on it like q shovel. Ths
snake measured about two feet in length
and about six inches round the largest part
of the body. 1t had sunk its teeth into his
hand and still held its grip. So tightly had
it fastened upon him that no amount of
shaking or pulling could induce It to drop
off. He ran to the house with the snake
dangling from his hand. He rushed into
the dining room.
At the sight of the snake the women ran
shrieking from the room, and 1t was some
time before he could obtain assistance. At
first every one thought that he was trying to
frighten them, but one look at his livid
countenance served to destroy all such
thought of jokes and sport. Almost every
conceivable scheme was tried to loosen the
hold of the reptile, but without avail. The
reptiles tail was cut, his head was beaten
and his whole body dipped into boiling
water, but still he held on to the hand Of the
terrified man. A large crowd soon collected
and an old colored woman, experienced
with all kinds of crawling animals, volan-
teered her services. She said he would
never let go until it hundred, and accord
ingly set about to make some oft arti6cially.
But before this could be successful she said
that hole must be made for him, for un-
less he saw shelter convenient he would
hold on forever. She procured q large
stocking and held It close to his head, with
his tail aloft, while q man In the next room
beat bass drum. The first thump that
was given the snake loosened his hold like
fash of lightning and dropped into tho
stocking, where he was killed.
From the time he bit to the time he re-
leased his hold one whole hour was con-
sumed. Mr.. Conrad's hand began to swell
and change color, turning to bright yellow
tinge. DIR. Doherty was called In. When
he arrived Mr.. Conrad's whole arm was
swollen. He was unconscious, frothed at
the mouth, and twitched violently In every
muscle, suffering excruciatiDg pain and
showing every symptom of blood poisoning.
Proper antidotes were administered, and
for while his life despaired of, but last
night he was still living and considered
out of danger. The reptile was a spread
ing viper.

OFFENDING THE LAW.
Hearings Before the Mayor Last Evening
at the Hall.

at the Hall.
Daniel Moore and James Wilson were
both very drunk, and had been for two days,
and for their hilarity were given so cents
and costs each.
John Monahan was accused of assault and
battery upon Michael Haughey. The
prosecutor seemed 10th to push the de-
fendant and wanted the Mayor to be "as
aisy" as he could. Michael Sullivan, who
boards at the same place as Monahan and
Haughey, said the whole trouble come from
Haughey, who had had four suppers.
Haughey threatened to cut Monahan, who
took the knife from him. The landlady,
who had been summoned by Haughey, gave
that worthy the credit of the whole row,
saying he had behaved in a disorderly man
ner. The Mayor dismissed the case, telling
Haughey that If he had any more witnesses
he would be found guilty himself.
George r. Cadwalder was arrested by
Sergeant Jones at the P, w. &. B. oil house
for being drunk and disorderly. Fined 81
and costs.
Three young fellows last evening linked
arms and proceeded up Market street and
tried 10 imagine they were having good
time. They swaggered from one side of the
pavement to the other and pushed people
in their march. Finally one OF them
kicked over a basket of oyster shells
standing hy the curb. Two officers had
been following the "funny" fellows and
took two of them to the Hall where they
were fined 81 and cests each.
Edward Cassidy was again arraigned for
selling liquor on Sunday. Two black men
testified to having obtained liquor in the
place last Sunday. Walter Bacon appeared
for the defendant and said the Witnesses
were unreliable and made habit of getting
liquor under false pretense, and intimated
that there was a scheme laid to entrap
Cassidy for reasons that were obvious. The
Mayor held the defendant in $500 to appear
at court.
