Mr.. Curry, the proprietor of grocery
store on Delaware Avenue above Tat
nal street, is certainly good Samaritan.
Yesterday when the different orders
that attended the funeral of ex.Mayor
Valentine halted in the vicinity of his
store, he sent word to the half famished
men, that he had prepared a barrel of
ice water for their accommodation, and
that all were welcome to help them
selves. The crowd that surrounded the
barrel showed how Mr.. Curry's benevo.
l9nce and forthought were appreciated
and he is entitled to the thanks of all
that were present.

a GOOD WORD FOR srooKLEY


An, Old Friend In New York Who Would
Certainly Vote For Him If He Was in
Delaware.
The New York Sun, of Wednesday, has
the following
To the Editor Of the .Sasas-SIR In the year
1851 / was clerk in country store in Mills
boro', Sussex County, Del. John West was
the proprietor. This John West was the
nominee of the Democratic party for Sheriff.
Among his active supporters was tall, thin
young man of very pleasant address whom
they called "Charley 5tockley." Well, John
West was elected Sheriff by very small
majority. And he acknowledged that his
election was entirely due to the extraordi-
nary efforts of "Charley Stockley." His
gratitude took this form. He took Charley
into copartnership with him, and gave him
the entire charge of the business, while he
attended to his duties of Sheriff. ] was re-
tanned as clerk.
The same Charles G. Stockley is the nomi-
nee of the Democrats for Governor of the
State, and though am Republican, and have
voted for every Republican President that
was ever nominated, and expect to vote fol
the next one, if l live, l should certainly
vote for Mr.. Stockley, were l a resident ot
Delaware. He is a firm, upright man. He
has won his way to fortune and fame simply
| by his own integrity and exertions. And
do hope the voters of Delaware will give
him such rousing majority that it will echo
| throughout the United States that honesty
and virtue has its reward even in this life.

A SUIT ENDS in A sTA55ING
AFFRAY.
PRETTYMAN's DEADLY THRUST.
A White Man Beaten by n Negro sues
Him, and the Negro Cuts Him An the
Stomach at the Post once.
Especial dispatch to the Gazette. ]

MILFORD, Sept. 9.-Advices received here
this morning from Milton, state that James
e. Reed, white farmer, living near MIL
ton, was stabbed last night by a negro
named Prettyman. Reed is not expected to
recover.
The affair took place In the post office,
where Reed had gone to get his mail The
two met, words passed between them and
Prettyman drew knife and stabbed Reed
in the abdomen. The assassin escaped al
though chase was given, and 1t is thought
that he came TO this place. Officers are here
looking for him. 1t is thought that he is
hiding in Milford.
RESULT OF A FIGHT.
There has been some hard feeling between
Reed and Prettyman, and it dates from a
fight between them one day last week. At
the time In question Reed saw the negro on
the street, vnd spoke to him roughly. Some
words passed and Reed assaulted Prettyman,
but was badly whipped.
Prettyman was arraigned before Squire
Hazard next day and heavily fined.
The meeting in the post Office is the first
since the fight.
Reed is Republican. He is about 35
years of age and has wife and children.
Prettyman is strong young negro and was
hotel waiter at Dover some time.

Especial correspondence of the Gazette.l

Especial correspondence of the Gazette.l
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.-This week has
been prolific of news sayoring of fraud,
blackmail and thievery. The astounding
developments In .he case of Major Phipps,
the Almshouse thief, while they have excited
general public attention, have, politically
strengthened the forces of the Independent
Republicans by detection from the Stslwart
element, to the number-it is reckoned by
those who profess to know--of 10000 votes
in this city. The evident sincerity with
which the Committee of One Hundred have
so industnously and persistently labored to
dethrone fraud as 1t exists in official places,
has enlisted the active cooperation of every
citizen favorable to an honest administra-
tion of municipal government. Col. A. X.
Mcclure, editor of the Times, is out in a
letter in that paper to-day to I. p. O'Malley,
Secretary of Central Branch Land League
of Scranton, Pa, detailing the plans of Don
Cameron to purchase the votes of the Irish
Land League.
Apropos of this, and as an evidence of the
desperation to which the Cameron ring is
driven, it may be mentioned that he is run
ming his campaign upon a basis of sectional
prejudice. The vote of the Presbyterians
was counted upon as morally certain for
Beaver, but the nomination of Mr.. Stewart
(who is also of that party) by the Independ-
ents rendered this scheme practically inde-
feasible, and it was abandoned, and now
the attempt is being made to run the
"machine" with the help of the Methodists.
A copy of the life of Beaver has been sent
to the pastor of every Methodist church in
Pennsylvania, and to this is added portrait
of Beavers father, who was Methodist
minister. 1t is well, in one respect, that
Cameron has sought the aid Of the church to
