MAD AFTER FOUR YEARS
A CASE OF HYORoPHoBIA IN
DELAWARE CITY.
CRAzED ANDBARKING LIKE ADoG
A Hostler, Bitten Four Years Ago. Seized
With the Malady To-Day-A Peculiar
Case.
LspecioI dispatch to the Gazette. J

DELAWARE CITY. Nov. "A. - Mark
Hawkins, colored man employed as o
hostler at the Robinson House, showed
signs of the hydrophobia this morning.
Word was sent to the policemen that he was
at his home acting in very violent manner
and that he refused food and drink.
An officer effected an enterance into his
room, and after some difficulty succeeded in
removing him to the City Hall. Here he
was confined and DR.. j. p. Bellville was
summoned to attend him.
On water being offered TO him Hawkins
refused to allow 1t TO touch him, and throw.
ing his head aside with violent movement
barked like dog. DR.. Belville refuses to
give his decision in regard to the case at
this time, and says he cannot positively
state whether the man has the rabies or
not until he has more closely observed the
symptoms and watched the progress Of the
disease.
His whole actions are those Of man suf-
fering from the hydrophobia. 1t Is reported
that Hawkins was bitten by dog about
four years ago,

OUT FOR MINED SCHOOLS.

The Rev. T. q. Stewart says the Black
People Want Them and Says They are
Right.
In Bethel A. NJ. L. Church last night
Rev. Theophilus G.. Stewart, the pastor of
the church and the colored member of the
Republican State Central Committee, de-
livered lecture upon mixed schools. There
was large attendance of colored people
and few whites.
The speaker in opening said-that mixed
schools involves our dearest interest and
our strongest claims at the present day. If
what the Bible teaches us that humanity is
one, there can be no such thing as mixed
shool. If what science, philosophy and
reason are to be taken as telling the truth
there can be no mixed school, for they tell
us that all races and color are one mass of
humanity. History says nothing in its
many pages OF mixed schools, but it has only
been of late, and it is simply shadow of
the coming events. 1t is meaningless, when
we take broad and sensible view of the
matter. You can place the children
OF almost every nation in the schools, but 1t
1t is no mixed school until one of our
children goes there. 1t is an attempt
against the colored people by the commu-
nifty at large. Guitea us children, had he
any, could 90 to the school without word
being said, but it is to be crime against
the Holy Ghost to be colored man. How
absurd it is to say "mixed schools" whe
our children enter. What is the character
of the public schools 1t is not under
private management, administered for their
own behalf The schools belong to the
whole body of mankind. We are either in
cluded or are out of it, The schools in this
city are the institutions of the State of
Delaware. If legal residents of the State,
we are also stockholders. believe in equal
rights and do not believe in riding and to
be ridden. There Is such thing as man
selling his rights in the hour of weakness.
If the common schools are established for
the colorcd people, without their consent,
take advantage Of them and educate your
children-a half loaf Is better than none at
all. If they are accepted in return for
trade, they should be inscribed "colored
schools for colored FOOLS" Let the sub
Ject be agitated from time to time and we
may gain the point, after a prolonged
battle

Ontario Mills, erected by William Arrott. ON
lot extending from Philip street to Second.
above Columbia ave-, with frontage of 15O
feet on each street and hight of five stories
was in danger OF destruction by fire loxt
night. The flremen, aided By their new ap-
pliances and the fire escapes and the bridges
OF the mill itself, We're, however, enabled TO
save the new structure after a centre wing
had been destroyed. The Philip street mill
was constructed In 1871. That on SECOND
street was entirely new and not vet fully
completed, though part OF il vas occupied.
CLARK Il Keen, manufacturers of wooleu
tucking goods and cloaks, had the base
ment and first aud second floors on Second
and Philip streets; Priestly & Bro, manu-
iacturers OF dress goods, the third floor of
both buildings; and Madely & Titlow, cot
ton goods makers, the two upper floors on
Philip street. j. I. Truitt, manufacturer Of
knit goods, had rented the fourth floor on
second street, put in part Of his ma
chinery, but had not begun operations.
The filth story was un0ccuped.
Clark " Keen, who employed 900 hands,
had been working day and night. The
night lorce oi 10 men were at the looms on
the second floor about 10 o'cluck last nipht.
discovered that the card room, on the fourth
moor, ON Philips street, was ablaze, the fire
having apparently come from the picker
room. Tic flames rapidly extended through
the connecting wing to the Second street
mill and enveloped the top floor. A large
fire escape aided the flremen to send hose
aiolt. Two alarms were sounded. Tor
rents OF water were hurled upon the flames
and came in cascades through the floors
upon valuable machinery and finished and
unfinished goods.
The fire did not get into the lower floors
of either mill, except on the northwest and
on Phillip street, where it reached the third
story. Clark " Keen are the heaviest
losers, their machinery heiug very expep
sivc. They had 900 in Crompton broad
loom presses alone and probably Ss0, 600 to
q OF, 600 in made up and unfinished. stock.
Priestly Brothers had about $4,000 in
finished stock. Madely & Titlow's stock
and machinery Were worth $4,000. On ali
Of this the loss by water was the heaviest.
The mill buildings were damaged probably

The Calender and European Consolidated
Minstrels, which is the biggest show on the
road, will appear here on Wednesday even

track and is likely to attract an immense
audiancc. The troop is composed of
Haverly's Colored Minstrels aud Callen-

ganizations have joined themselves into one
immense and colossal combination of talent
to NOW down all opposition and pack the
houses wherever they 20. In the first place
the men, women and children are genuine
negroes. They sing genuine plantation
songs, they tell new and amusing stories,
they are no stale gags all the selections
are varied, wide awake and ever changing.
All the romantic features of the old-time
plantation business are brought out re-
freshed and delineatcd in mastery mar

steamboat scenes will be enacted as faith
fully as If they were original "afore-de-
wah' sketches down in the cotton-growing

l JoCths
Especial correspondence OF the Gazette
Dover, Nov. 23.-The eighth annual in
stitute of Kent county teachers commenced
in this town yesterday afterno.n Superln-
tendent Groves presiding. About Is
| teachers were in attendance. j. H. George
was elected permanent secretary and Miss
Emma Hugh, assistant. Assistant Super
intendent Carpenter delivered the annual
address, in which he urged the necessity of
more practicll teaching, and dwelt at length
upon the responsibilities and duties of
teachers.
Quite lively discussion then ensued upon
the question of " Compulsory Education, J"
which was participated in by Messrs Ellis
Carroll, Warren, Handy, Alice and Foe.
Strong arguments were used pro and con
and the question ELECTED great interest.
AT $50 p IN, the evening session was
called 10 order by superintendent Groves,
and prayer was offered by d. s. Ellis. Miss
kice OF FELTON,, gave Il piano solo, after
which Professor \. n. Williams of Will
mington Was introduced. He delivered
most forcible and eloquent address upon
the subject of education. The speaker
showed conciusiyely that he was at home
with his theme. He contended that the
education of the people was the only perma-
nent basis of National aud State prosperity,
and that 1t behooved the State to do its duty
by providing liberal system of free schools
for all its children. He reviewed the his
tory OF our public school system from its
beginning to the present; spoke of the great
improvements that had gradually been made
from year to year, and he doubted not, from
the general interest that was being mani
tested by the people on this subject, that in
a short time would be developed for Della
ware, system OF public schools equal to
that OF any State In the Nation. He urged
the teachers to endeavor by all means
possible to elevate the standard of their pro-
tession; to avail themselves of all oppor-
tunities for improvement in the science and
art of teaching, and 10 be active in their
efforts TO so educate public sentiment as that
the people will be willing to properly reward
their labors and their most honorable voca-
tion. The address was highly appreciated.
This morning the session was called TO
order at Q O'Clock by Superintendent Groves,
and after the usual preliminaries the subject
of :'Local Institutes" "Supplemcntary

A Ruteher,s Light yVelght.

Clerk Hickey has commenced the exami-
nation of the scales and weights used by the
butchers. He finds some of them very re-
luctant to allow the necessary inspection.
One dealer, in particular, who had his
scales balanced with piece of tallow, OBJ
jected to any interference by, the law. He
allowed his scales and weights to be in
spected, however, and the result was as fol-
lows ; Scales ~ ounces out of balance, a
20-pound weight 81 ounces light, a IA
pound weight 81 ounces light, a 4-pound
weight 3 ounces light and 2-pound weight
1G ounces scant. Another butcher was
found to be using an alleged 2O-pound
weight 5 ounces short. The figures given
show where a good opportunity for margin
was presented to meat dealers.

A TALE OF HORSE THIEVES.
Is Colonel Cregar of Montgomery County
In League With q Gang which Has Been
Operating in Delaware?

Is Colonel Cregar of Montgomery County
In League With Gang which Has Been
Operating in Delaware?
An important discovery OF horse thieves
has just been made in Montgomery county,
Pa, which is likely to attract some atten-
tion among the authorities and horse re-
ceiving association Of this Deighborhood. 1t
involves William Cregar Of Whitpain town
thip, who has been q famous counterfeiter
In his time, and who has been ascerteined
TO be the harborcr aud agent of regularly
organized band of borse thieves, which has
been operating in Delaware, Kent and Cecil
counties Of Maryland and adjacent sections.
1t will be recalled that on Monday night
BIZ Muthart, the famous horse thief came
TO Cregar's house with a horse and buggy.
Cregar seized Muthart and a desperate
struggle ensued during which Crcgar got
possession of the horse and carriage and
Muthart fed. Cregar took the animal to
the barn of William NJ. Singeriy and when
he returned he found that Muthars had
stolen horse from him and ridden of. The
horse which Cregar got resembles one re-
Gently stolen from q church at Kenned,.
Vile, Md, and a number of people doubt
the sincerity of Cregar In trying to arrest
Muthart.
Now comes the strange part of the story
OF Cregar's connection with horse thieves,
which is related In a Philadelphia paper Of
to-day as follows:
Within the past few months numerous
cases OF horse stealing have occurred In the
interior of this State, New Jersey, Delaware
and Maryland, and although large rewards
had been offered for the recover Of the
stolen property the detectives were bafflcd
10 their efforts to discover clue as to what
disposition had been made OF the animals.
Private Detective Charles }. Nichols, whose
specially fs he recovery of stolen horses,
discovered that William Cregar, the noted
counterfeiter Of by-gone daya. who resides
near North Wales, Montgomery county, was
dealing In horses, wagons and carriages-in
TACT, supplying his neighbors with property
OF that character. IL was known that
Cregar did not visit the bazaars, nor
was he ever seen to drive a
strange team up to his place during
the day time, yet he always had
supply on hand. On Wednesday night De-
tective Nichols, accompanied by Constable |
james Jtmison. visited the neighborhood of
Cregar's home and received information
which led to the recovery of horse at the
Nicetown Hotel, whose proprietor, William
l.. Athouse, had purchased the animal from
Cregar 1t was aseertaincd that farmer
named Dolts also had in his possession a |
bay horse which he had bought from Cregar
for $50, or one-half its value. When an
preached by the officers Dolts became very
much confused and stammered out the ad-
mission that he had purchased u horse from |
the counterfeiter. The detective also re- |
covered wagon, valued at $3.50, which |
Cregar sold to Wesley Hooper. Cregar |
came before the public as far back as 40 |
years ago, in the role of counterfeiter, and |
has served several terms OF imprisonment |
for that offence.
