The Closing Scene.

The Wilmingtonian gives the follow.
ing address as the closing of the strug-
gle which has so greatly agitated our
city for some time back:
1t was calm still night, and the stars
shone bright over the broad waters OF
the Basin as the great man, having
toiled up Tenth street HILL stood on the
brink of the Reservoir, alone with the
night He swept aside his mantle with
Il ma jestic wave of the arm, and in a
sephulchral voice, with the lines from
Marino Falero fresh in his mind, com
menced a doge-like apostrophe to the
sleeping city -
, le Democratic vipers whom | have
fostered in this tender bosom ye Re
publican villains who have ouSttd me
from office; ye voters who have wines
Sed 1t, hear me, ere these waters close
over me forever
When in the days to come ye shall
have a water famine in your city when
every thirsty whiskey ey-driuking sinner
of you shall cry for one drop of water to
cool his fevered throat when ye shall
drink as nectar spawnoftrOgs and toads,
lizards, leeches and animalcules, amid
your agories think of Me, the great, the
immortal, immaculate Me
aye ingrates Farewell! Oh have
been left, left, left-shamefully and ac-
cursedly left One bold plunge and all
is over. Hence then to Erebus Wei
come ye waves Of Styx."
A dull plunge, brief gurgle, then
silence. The ripples died away. and
the stars shone down serenely as hetore
They sought him in vain for weeks
and months. Some said he had gone to
to seek an office-others
that he had gone to Utah and joined the
saints, while a third party stoutly in.
sisted that he had turned Republican
and been appointed L. S. Minister at
Iululand. But the water Of the city
went on from bad to worse, and no one
would drink it. THEY dragged the Ba

BASE BALL NOTES.


The Quickstep played game of bal
yesterday afternoon with nine com
posed principally of mem bers of the ole
Our Boys club. The game was filled
with amusing points, and the street
arabs were permitted to occupy the
choice seats, as they were admitted free.
The Quickstep played eight men, and
frequently through the game one OF
their players would assist the other
side in the field. Bresnahan and Bar
Der did excellent work behind the bat,
while the pitching of Albert was very
effective, and he was knocked all over
the field.
The most amusing feature of the game
was the difficulty experienced in keep
ing an umpire. McGurk was one of
the players and McKenna umpired un-
til he became tired, when he resigned
and was succeeded by Watt, who made
some very uni ust decisions, and he was
ruled out. A player from each nine
then acted as umpire alternately when
their respective clubs were at the bat
IL Is stated that it took no less than
nine or ten persons to umpire the game
through. After the close of the eighth
inning, game was called and the play
ers has'ened from the fed. The score
stood II to in favor of the Quickstep.
This afternoon the Trenton will visit
Wilmington, and play the Quickstep.
1t ia probable, though not positive,
that it will be "a championship game
Pyle will pitch for the Qnickstep and
will be supported by N. Smith, of
Germantown, Pa, formerly of the Bur
lington club. The Trenton club has
been greatly improved and strength
ened, and a good game may be ex-
pected.

road Company's business, passenger and
freight, across the river from East St.
Louis to that city. When the bridge
opened the ferriage business drifted

mer suit between the same parties for
a breach of contract resulted in a iudg-
ment in favor of the Ferry Company for

cline to place their names upon it?
Customer-I did not know, at the
time, that such was the fact, but could
not understand how so many dealers in
Wilmington, without money, could
have organ factories. now see how it
is: they buy these Instruments ready
for their stencils, and then name them
after themselves, as they would a pet

reading the ordinance to amend an
ordinance relating TO public economy.
It provides for the repeal of the Ordi-
nance which says that Railroad Comps-
MES shall have Q fagmsn to run ahead
Of trsins q they pas through the city.
Mr.. Quinn was opposed to repeating
the ordinance, as he thought it WAS .
precaution against accidents that should
not be abolished. The gates at the
crossings were intended TO prevent
accidents happening to horses and
wagons, but unless there was man
ahead of the trains, there was nothing
to prevent persons being killed between
the squares.
Mr.. johnson thought the members
should give this matter some consider
alton before voting, az only last week
child would have heen killed had It not
been for the hagman. 1t was not very
heavy expense for the Companies to
keep man ahead OF the trains, and one
human life was worth more than all 1t
would cost them In year. A vote was
thentaken, and the ordinance was de-
feate,l.
On motion of Mr.. Adele the vote
whereby the contract to build the
Shipley run sewer was awarded to
johnson & Miles was re-considered. |
The contract price was 80, ia, and there
are about eighty feet of the sewer to be
Mr.. Smith said that Chief
Engineer Conwell had told him, after
the vote was taken, that the sewer
could be built for 81 400.
Mr.. Mention was, under the impress
sion that it could be built for less than
81, 100, if it was done by the Street
Commissioner. He thought it a mis-
AXE that an ordnance was ever passed
the city to contract for all
work. where the cost exceeded $50.
A vote was then taken on the original
notion to award the contract to John
'on 81 Miles, and it was lost. On
notion of Mr.. Adele. the further con-
liberation Of the matter was laid over
or one week.
John Mulrooney was granted permis-
ion to set curb on Franklin street near
Reed, the work to be- done under the
supervision Of the Street Commissioner
Council then adjourned sine die.
