FIXING STREET GRADES
PUzZ.lhG QUESTIONS Fo9
CITY COUNCIL.
ASKING FOR A WHOLE SQUARE
Meeting OF City Council at Front and Clay
ton and Fourteenth aud scott Streets, to
Consider Proposed Changes of Gradee

City Council met on the premises, 5atur-
day afternoon TO consider the grade Of Clay
ton street, from Front to Chestnut, which
some property owners of the neighborhood
want changed.
About year ago the grade hero was es-
tablished by ordinance Of City Council, re-
qulring Gil of about four feet at Chestnut
street aud about 15'inches at Front street.
In accordance with this grade Thomas Sam
worth started six houses at the southeast
corner of Front aud Clayton streets, which
are now well under way. Recently George
w. Bush and others, owning property along
the street, petitioncd Council to amend the
grade established a year ago by allowing
the street to remain In its present condition
at Chestnut rect, aud to depress 1t 10 TO l8
inches near Front street, so as to throw the
water from Clayton street down Chestnut
instead of down Front street, as at present.
As this depression would come In frol of
two of Mr.. Samworth's houses and interfere
with them materially, he naturally objects.
Council heard the statements Of the inter
ested parties, but adjourned without taking
any action, The general feeling of the mem
bers, however, seems to be in favor of max
ing no change In the grade as established a
year ago.
WHAT THE B. & o. PEOPLE WANT.
Council next proceeded TO Fourteenth
and Scott streets, to consider eome changes
of "a ade askad by the Baltimore j. Ohio
railroad people. The crossing grades were
established some time ago by City Council
but now the following changes are desired
A raise Of l a feet where the road strikes
the city line, at Twelfth street extended.
At Thirteenth street, o raise of IL feet
instead of depression.
At Lincoln street, a raise of feet, in
stead of depression of 10 feet.
The most important request, however,
was for the vacation of Fourteenth street,
from Scott to Lincoln, and on this point
Col. Douglass, Chief Engineer of the b,
s. o. r. r., addressed the Council briefly.
He said that 10 conform TO the grade
originally established would bring the track s
about three feet below the crown of the
sewer on Fourteenth street, and prevent the
satisfactory lointure OF grades at Fourteenth
and Scott streets. To vacate Fourteenth
street would enable the crossing to be made
Without trouble.
A small stream of water runs along
Fourteenth street, and sewer will have 10
be constructed before the street can be used.
Several propeTty-owneTs in the vicinity in
terposed objections to the variation of the
street. About the only property that would
be materially damaged is q two-story frame
structure, close to the railroad, and 1t was
stated that the company had already made
satisfactory arrangements with the owner.
Council viewed the points at which changes
of grade were asked, and without taking
any action adjourned.

A Complimentary Notice from a WilmIn

A Complimentary Notice from Whining
tonIan Abroad.
The following letter explains itself:
HOTEL DE GRAND MIRoIR, BRUSSELS,
BELGIUM, Oct. 6, 1SS3-My Dear M.
RhoQds My American mail reached me at
Cologne, Germany, just as was about de-
parting for Belgium. IT contained the Will
mingtoa papers, giving glowing accounts Of
the German Yolks.fest recently held In your
city, and over which you had the honor to SO
efficiently preside.
Now, to my point, the provoca-
tion of hurriedly addressing you
gratulate you and the Germans of Whining
ton on such a fest. have been travelling
much for four months past in Europe
from the west to the cast, iIom the sunny
south to the bold and rugged Nortn-and
have devoted nearly six weeks to Germany.
In all this experience, want to say, found
no more interesting spots of enjoyment than
did IN Germany.
In my business career In Wilmington
had always warm degree of
friendship for ;ho German race, aud
now that have had an opportunity TO dwell
amongst them a little while aud encounter
their ways, customs, their ideas and un
bounded genialty, and their enthusiastic ad-
miration for the Americans, can assure
you there have been added many links to
the chain that had always made me attached
to them.
DO not think take no interest In the
affairs of Wilmington because am absent
from it. Nothing gave me more pleasure in
news from home than this last demonstra-
tion In Wilmington. Again / congratulate
YOU on its success to whom this honor is
mainly due; to Its inception, inspiration and
happy consummhtion. With the highest
consideration, am, sincerely,

4 voice From "Hamburg." :"

To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE: 1 am
always glad to get the old reliable and faith
full GAZETTE, which has always the latest
and most important news. Hy neighbors
who read the Republican papers are never
satisfied without they call upon me to spend
an evening, and hear what the old faithful
GAZETTE has to say about things In general.
We have oeen much amused lately at the
jabber and clatter of Wilmington editors
discussi the claims of certain gentlemen
for future appointments by our worthy Gov
ernor. The bosh and trash which fills
these papers from day to day is disgust
ing to an intelligent mind,
when 1t is known that these editors, who
represent u 6etunct party, have no influence
with the Governor or the friends of the
candidates. 1t is well-known that Demo-
Gratis do not seek the advice Of these de-
feated and disappointed would-be teachers
and on account of a failure to furnish news
for their readers they imagine that the trash
which fills about oDe-quarter of their sheets
from day to day Is fresh reading for persons
living away from your city. Our people un-
derstand these pretenders of morality, and
know what estimate of value for truthful
ness to place upon such cranky editorials.
We are having a delightful fall, which en-
ables US to gather our crops in good order.
Don't forget to forward the GAZETTE. We
would be lost these pleasant evenings with
out 1t. FAITHFUL.

They Threaten to Set Fire 10 Their Em-
ployer's Office.
Saturday afternoon Patrick Malloy, con :
tractor for grading the section of the B. s.
o. railroad that nears Wilmington at Front
and Webb streets, completed his portion OF
the contract and called his Italian laborers
together for final settlement. II happens
that Mr.. Malloy recently received another
contract for grading on the section below
Havre de Grace, and desiring to keep his
laborers with him he decided that the best
plan would be to hold hack a portion of their
day. Accordingly he kept about two dol
lars from each man In his employ.
The Italian laborers, however, did not take
kindly 20 Mr.. Malloy's scheme. They i'm
agined that he was attempting to fleece
them out of their money, and Immediately
held an indignation meeting to decide upon
measure of relief Violent speeches where
made by several of their number, and as a
fitting mode of revenge they determined to
set fire to the office at Front and Webb
streets, used by the contractor.
Fortunately the excited actions and frey
speeches of the Italians had alarmed Con-
tractor Malloy, and he sent in to the police
station for assistance. Sergeant Hatton an d
q squad of officers at once responded and
arrived just in time to prevent the angry
laborers from carrying their plan into execu-
ton. 1t being impossible to discover the
ring leaders no arrests were made, and after
satisfactory explanations from the contrac.
tors, the anger of the mistaken laborers
subsided and they returned to their quar-
ters

A RARE EVENT,

Dedication for the Second Time In Two
Centuries OF = Swedish Church in Della
ware.
A large congregation assembled at the
little brick Swedish M. K. Church over
Eleventh street bridge, yesterday, to take
part in the dedication exercises. The Rev
j. Richard Boyle, of Grace Church, deliv.
cred an interesting address and was followed
by Messrs. William NJ. Field and Job II.
Jackson. About $4,000 has been expended and
the collection yesterday of 81, 800 wipes out
all Indebtedness. In the evening the pastor,
Rev. Carl o. Carlson, delivered sermon
from Psalm 1876, verse 8: "God has done
wonderful things" The text is the same
that was preached 1874 years ago, when the
Old Swede's Church was dedicated.

sItIon.
The foreman of Hartmann & Fehrenbach's g
brewery, Theodore Becker, appears to be a
man somewhat difficult to get along with,
and rs a consequence he has had several lit
tic brushes with Mr.. Hartman, who person-
ally superIntends the work at the brewery.
Upon any occasion of dispute with Mr..
Hartman Becker would rush into the city
Office of the firm and bore Mr.. Fehrenbach
with HIS grievance. This conduct on his
part got to be nuisance, and SO when the
hundreth disagreement occurred Saturday
at the brewery and Becker started on his
usual pilgrimage to the city. Mr.. Hartman
concluded that patience hal about ceased
to be a virtue, and go he promptly tele-
phoned to Mr.. Fehrenbach to pay Becker
off when he appeared and discharge him.
There was due Becker 5000, as wages which
he had left for safe keeping in the hands Of
his employers, and when he was presented
with check for this amount aud told that
his services were no longer desired he was
surprised as well as disappointed, as he well
might be, considering that he was receiving
the handsome salary OF 81 800 per annum.
His peremptory discharge angeTed him very
much, and he returned to the brewery and
persuaded the other brewers to quit work.
This sudden strike caused some inconven-
ience, but nothing of serious nature, as q
new force was gotten together under the
foremanship OF Benjamin Kopf, and every
thing Is again serene at the brewery.
Becker, the retiring foreman, and mum.
Der OF Hartman s. Fehrenbach's workman,
have gone to tn, farm of George Stab, on
the Philadelphia pike, about three miles
from this city where it Is said a new brewery
is to be established, of which Mr.. Becker
will be foreman. Stock has already been
subscribed towards the enterprise, and 1t is
said tho work of constructing the necessary
buildings will be commenced soon.
