RADICAL FRAUD AFOOT.
REPUBLlcANsPREPARINo FOR
ILLEGAL VOTES.
TWELVE MEN FOR ONE RECEIPT.
A Negro who Knew His Name Was Wesley
Hamilton, But Was MasqueradIng Under
Another One.

That the Republicans will make an effort
OF the most desperate character to carry
this county on next Tuesday there can be
no doubt. Mayor Wales, it is stated, will
appoint something like so special policemen.
1t is understood that Marshal McMullen
will also appoint the usual number of depu-
ties. There is yet no ground on
which reasonable supposition can be
based that Sheriff Clark will appoint a
host of deputies also, but he may be pre-
vailed upon to do so. With such strong Of
fetal backing and assistance, the Republi-
cans will have ample material with which
to intimidate, and their commissioned
strikers will be enabled to run in illegal
votes and to disguise fraud by sheer force
On all sides are evidences that this thing
is to be attempted, and nowhere are these
signs more plainly shown than in the office
OF the county tax collectors. Recently
many blacks have been going there to pay
their taxes, and many of these are strange
negroes. Within the past few DAYS dozen
men have come there asking to pay the
taxes for certain man. They all would
say they bore that name, and failing to ac-
complish their purpose, the tax having been
paid some time before, they would go
away.
An instance of this kind came to light
day before yesterday. No less than dozen
negroes came up to pay the tax of a man
whose name was said to be John Brown.
Failing to find any snch name on the list
whose tax was unpaid, Collector Kyne, to
whom application was made, refused to take
their tax or give them receipt.
One of the men on being closely ques-
toned, admitted that his name was not
Brown, but that was the ''name they had
told him to give" 81 know what my name
is" said he, "my name is Wesley Hamilton,
and have always gone by that name.''
Numerous other instances of the kind
have taken place, all of which point to
colonization and fraud.
WASHINGTON AND MARYLAND NEGROES To
ATTEMPT TO VOTE.
The desperate plan of Harrington and
Fisher to attempt to carry this State by
fraud on Tuesday next is fully explained by
the following letter, received by gentleman
in this city from leading lawyer in Wash
ington. 1t is as follows
81 wrote to inform you that n
Dick Harrington and Judge Fisher recently
visited this city for the purpose of getting
ammunition for the pending battle. They got
money, and it is reliably known that they
also made arrangements with some notori-
GUS repeaters here to visit your State on
election day with a band of negroes from
here and Maryland, to assist in the evidently
matured plans of fraud. The leaders are
reported to be one Charles Hurdel and Tobe
Brown, white men. Yours, -"

NEW CASTLE PREsBYTERY.
DIR. Nixon to Remain in Charge of the
Central Church.

DIR. Nixon to Remain in Charge of the
Central Church.
At the afternoon session of the New
Castle Presbytery yesterday the following
resolution, presented by Rev. Mr.. Squier,
of Port Deposit, was taken up and debated
upon at length:
RESOLVED, That it is the Judgment ofthis Pres
bytery that the Rev. DIR. Nixon should accept
tile call to Lincoln University, and that his pas
toral relations with Central Presbyterian
Church be dissolved.
DIR. Nixon, on being invited to make few
remarks, told how he had been called to
Lincoln University without any action on
his part. He saw a grand field for the
Lords work at the University, where there
we're 200 students, but was willing for others
to decide. He asked the Presbytery to do
with him as they would. If they thought he
could better serve the Lord in educating the
freedmen, the Importance ofwhich work could
not be exaggerated, they should vote to sever
his pastoral relations. If this thing had
come from outside, If he did not love this
people he would not hesitate one hour about
accepting the call. If the Presbytery
thought he could do more for the Master
he would go. 1t was no hardship to stay
here among people who loved him better
than he deserved and whose love was re-
ciprocated. In concluding he said, 81 will
leave myself in Gods hands through you"
A vote was taken on the resolution, being
lost by vote of II to 4, and the Presbytery
adjourned at 4.50.

NEW CASTLES ESCAPE.
A Burning Shop and a Stiff Breeze Brings
the City Near to Ruin.

Especial correspondence of the Gazette.]
New CASTLE, Nov. 3.-Last night about
p. m. an alarm of fire was given and in
few minutes the fire engine and several
hundred people were at the scene, large
frame building situated at the corner of
Vine and Orange streets. The building has
long been a carriage factory, run by John
Churnside g. Son, and it was burned down.
A greater part of the material was saved
except the blacksmith tools and iron.
About $500 worth of stock, together with
the building was burned down. The building
was owned by William Holschumazer and
James Etchels and insured in the Farmers
Mutual Fire Insurance Company of
Wilmington. The only reason given
for the origin of the fire
is the carelessness of the forgemen ON leav-
ing the shop. The wind was blowing stiff
breeze and it was feared that much damage
might be done. Several houses caught fire
and after the families had moved all the fur
niture out it was extinguished. The citi
zens of New Castle extend their most hearty
thanks 10 the police officers and gentlemen
who assisted in extinguishing the fire and
saving the city from ruin, and we hope that
this may bring the long talked of fire engine
into the minds of the people, and that an
effort will be made to secure one and also
more water for the CITY,

THE CITY INTERESTS.
Water and Sewage Discussed by the
Board of Trade.

Board of Trade.
At the meeting of the Wilmington Board
of Trade last night, Harry T. Cause, vice
president, presided in the absence of Presi-
dent Buck. j. ii. Hoffecker, ESQ.,, acted as
secretary. The minutes Of the previous
meeting read and approved communica-
tion was read from Brevet Major General
Weitzel, United States Engineer in charge
of wharves and harbors, accepting the in
vitation of the Board to visit them and con-
suit in regard TO certain public improve
ments. He wished his reception to be per-
fectly informal, and could net tell when he
would be able to come. 1t was reported
that the president had answered the COM
munication, stating that the Board would
await the General convenience to fix a date
for the visit.
Henry Mendinhall, chairman of the Com
mittce on Water Supply, asked, through f.
T. Warner, to be relieved from the duties
assigned him, as he was utterly unable to
attend to them.
The question of new water supply and
sewage system was taken up and discussed
in an informal manner. 1t was stated that
it had been suggested to have commission
appointed to ask the Legislature to author
ize loan of S1,O00,00O for the purpose
needed. The idea was to bring water from
, IL
of about four miles, through 30-inch pipe
Where the creek would be tapped it was
about on a level with Broom street reservoir,
and no pumping would be required. The
water of the creek had been anulyzed by
Professor Leeds and found to be perfectly
pure. The cost of the scheme would be
about S400, 900.
A "separate system of sewage was talked
of, the cost of which would be about $780,
900. The interest on that amount it was
suggested, could be met by taxing each
house having connection with the sewer
certain amount per year, and compel all to
do SO. 1t would be cheaper to property
owners than the present expense of cleaning
wells. The Board thought the City Council
and the citizens generally were alive to the
necessity Of something being done at once,
and the sooner the better. 1t was ad-
yisable, the Board thought, to take
active steps Immediately. The system
proposed was similar to that being put in at
Norfolk, Va. The work there was under
the charge of an engineer,all the work being
accomplished by day work, thus insuring
its being done well and discounting any
thing like "job."
The whole discussion was in an off-hand
manner, but eliminated In motion being
passed to the effect that the Sewerage and
Water Supply Committees of the Board
should meet and prepare necessary bills for
legislation and then call special meeting
of the Board, who in turn would invite the
Board of Health and the proper committees
of City Council to confer with them.
After the matter Of the wharf lines,
which were admitted to be faulty, were
toucbed upon, and the necessity for ad-
ditional power and authority to be placed
in the hands of the Port Wardens, the Board
adjourned.

Demise of One of Middletown's Most
Prominent Citizens - The End of a
Busy Life


Busy Life.
Especial correspondence OF the Gazcttel
MIDDLETowN, Nov. 3.-Ths town was
again thrown into state of excitement ut
the announcement of the death of Robert A.
Cochran last evening about 6.15 O'Clock in
the 10th year of his age. He was born in
the old stone house ON the farm now owned
and occupied by George Derrickson, ESQ.,,
on Bohemia Manor, about four miles from
Middlctown. At the age of 10 years he
went South and settled in Florida and was
engaged in the Seminole war. He was
teamstcr and was one of two or three
men who escaped the scalpng knife
of the tribe under the Chief Osceola Hfter
staying there some time he again returned
to his native State and settled in Middle
town, buying the property which is now the
Middletown Hotel. He married Miss
Rouse from Hartford county, Nd. Mr..
Cochran will be greatly missed by the labor
ing class of people as well as by the
mechanics of our town. Middletown has
been greatly improved by him in the cree
tion of fine buildings and other advan-
tageous improvements.
His estate mostly consists of town prop
erty, he having three farms belonging to his
estate. The large brick hotel occupied by
j. ID. Paulin, and known as the Middletown
Hotel and also the very large brick stores
occupied by s. NJ. Reynolds & Co., and
known as the Cochran Square are among
his town properties. His estate is estimated
at $780, ,000
Mr.. Cochran was everywhere known as
very generous man. He was always ready
to help any who might call upon him for
aid. His last illness was of short duration.
He was taken sick on Monday last and con-
tinucd to grow worse until last night, when
he died. He leaves two sons, one of whom,
is E. r. Cochran, present Clerk of the Peace
and two daughters, one unmarried, and the
other the wife of William A. Comegys.
Due notice of the funeral will be given.

Although the parties who created the row
at Tenth and Orange streets are known no

some unkind individual has asserted
that one of the "models" declared yester-
day that "the police couldn't afford to arrest
the offenders just now, you know" 1t is

would ever intimate such thing. Oh, no

BASE BALL.

Club.

The New Alliance-Players OF tne nome
Club,
Manager Charles c. Waitt of the pro
posed new base ball club for next year, has
been. notified to attend the convention at
Reading next Thursday. Its claimed that
Mr.. Justice will also make claims to enter
the new association, but his chances OF sue.
cess are decidedly slim, as the financial
standing of the other management will
have a large bearing at the convention.
Pyle, pitcher Albert, short stop, and
Jim Fields, formerly of the Reading ActiVess,
will no doubt form part of next year
team. Pyle is great pitcher. A number
of League mines this year were retired with
a few scattering base hits. Albert is good
short stop and good man with the stick,
while Fields is good first baseman, good
hitter and fielder.
