The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1883-11-03

Dlluuncss on Tue - w. " ID. hhllrOHu
the past week, some sixty men lose their
positions, caused by not being able TO
distinguish certain colors and defect in
hearing. Some Of them were pioneer
railroad men. or course they viii be
given less responsible positions by tho
company.
We made an error in last issue in
stating that Mr.. L. E. Ochletree had
recently came to Newark. THIS gentle
man has been in the carriage business for
number of years on the Depot road,
and but recently moved to the large
room over Mr.. Lutton's blacksmith shop.
lIis ad will appear next week. We
bespeak success to this deserving young
man.
The entertainment given in the Hall
on Thursday evening by Guinness & Abbey
of New York. entitled EAST Lynne" was
all that was expected. The audience was
large, and in some OF the affecting parts
tears could be seen in the eyes Of many.
The crowd went home well pleased with
what they had seen, and the company
will always secure full house when
ever they visit this town.
There was nothing occurred in town
of especial notice on Hallow Fen night.
OF course the usual number of gates were
carried off and hid, and corn thrown
about promscuously On the Depot road
a shock Of corn was carried from the field
on the right of the road and left in a
place to brighten horses and cause an
accident. The boys tried hard to do
something but failed
William Middleton, young man in
the employ of the Casho Machine Co.,
about mile from this place, while oiling
a machine in the mill on Wednesday
night last, let the oil can slip from his
hand, and to prevent it from going into
the cog wheels made grab for it. Mis-
sing il his hand was run between the
breast-plate and cog wheels, breaking his
first-fnger OH his right hand and terribly
cutting the palm.
On September 9th, Mr.. Jos. 7. Willis
of this town, put lightning rod on one
of the large brick chimneys at Singerly's
pulp mill at Elkton. On Thursday Of
this week he placed a rod on the other
large stack. These stacks are very high
one being 10 feet and the other 80 feet
high. 1t was perilous undertaking, and
Mr.. Willis informed us that the wind
blew SO hard the board he was sitting on
moved. We would rather be excused
from such u job.
"A serious of theaNicals and lectures
are spoken of here at an early day. This
is just what we want, genuine course o.
lectures would undoubtedly be highly
entertaining and instructive, while light
comedies sandwitehed in would lend 8
spicy flavor to the whole. The talent il
right here to make up the theatricals, ant
it may be one or more lecturers can b.
: selected here, also. At last we hay,
found out several fellows here who al,
very apt at lecturing us on our newspape
work. Don't know how they would &C
: on the rostrum.
Mrs. Teresa Armstrong, wife o
Harry Armstrong, one of the leading
gentlemen in Hayerley's minstrel troupe
will leave here for Baltimore on the GA
D train tomorrow morning, whore she wi
join her husband. The troupe will renal
in Baltimore one week; from there t
s New York, and thence go to Californi;
8 Mrs. Armstrong will accompany her hus
J. band on his Continental tour. She is
I decided brunette, pleasing of manners
pretty in face and graceful in form. Sh
+, has been spending a brief season with he
husbands brother, William Armstrong
q who lives near Pleasant Hill.
n The Cecil Wig in its last issue aptl
i. remarked that hogs were found every
G where in human form. No where al
q they found where they show this detest'
BILE spirit than on railroad trains. On ell
& tering car ones eyes takes in the situi
= tion at a glance. On the seat to the rigl
is fellow who vainly tries to occupy til
, space of two persons by piling the seat o
either side with an overcoat, bundles, an
n in many instances the ill-breeding Of I'll
+ occupant allows his person to assume til
: shape of lazy porker, wallowing in til
mire. These shapes and situations
, many ill.mannered persons can be notice
throughout a train Of cars. The entranC
of ladies if rarely ever touches
cord of manliness Or gentlemaness on til
!, part of this class of stockholders. If
man wants to occupy the space of who
seat he should purchase two tickets in
g then the right is solely his. Whenevt
Il you see a skull-capped fellow in a car 20
It can always bet your last penny that he
II trying to assume full control of a who
G seat, and if he is politely asked by Il
@ conductor. to make room for fellow pa
senger, his brow darkens and the verit
% bic grunt of the pOrker is heard TO escaI
/ his lips in almost every instance. II
10 only thing for the railroad company TO {
o is to cut off piggish luxury and diviC
5. the seat by partition, thus making tv
l. out Of one.
