BALTIMORE, May "a Information
reached the city this morning of horrible
outrage perpetrated upon a young girl
sixteen years Of age near Port Tobacco,
Charles county, the victim being employed
in the family Of Mr.. Thos. A. Graves, and
her alleged assailant, Mr.. Geo. w. Carpen-
ter, the Republican commissioner for the
Third district of Charles county. On
Monday last Mr.. Carpenter paid visit to
the house of Mr.. Graves, some two miles
from the town where as stated, the young
girl, Miss Scott, was employed. During
the stay of Mr.. Carpenter the family in
formed him that they were about to take
the boat for a neighboriug town, and
when they were in readiness to go to the
landing Mr.. Carpenter accompanied them,
leaving the girl alone in charge of the
house. After the family departed from
the landing Mr.. Carpenter returned to the
house, enticed the girl into an upper
room, and there, it is charged, committed
felonious assault of the grossest charac-
ter. The girl was left lying helpless
upon the floor. Upon the return of the
family in the evening, Mrs. Graves was
told the story of the outrage, and at once
took steps to secure Mr.. Carpenters arrest.
Mr.. Graves informed the neighbors, and in
less than an hour the entire neighborhood
was in state of wild excitement. Threats
of lynching were made, and every effort
was taken to arrest the accused, which the
sheriff finally succeeded in doing. Carpen-
ter was found seated at a meeting of the
county commissioners, apparently uncon-
cerned. When shown the warrant by the
sheriff for his arrest, he acted with perfect
GOODNESS, and was at once taken to Jail.
Yesterday the case was heard before the
grand jury, and an Indictment found,
charging Carpenter with the crime. The
prisoner is thirty-seven years of age, and
said to be rather fast liver. He was
married several years ago to widow, and
has family.

MiddIetown Schools.

The Seventh Annual Report OF the Su-
perintendent of Free Schools of Delaware
for the year ending December 1, 1882, con,
tains the following report of the Middle
town Public School:
PROF. J. H. GRovEs-DeGr Sir Il take
pleasure in submitting the following re-
port of the school under my charge:
The school is divided into four depart
ments, taught respectively by Miss S. e.
Taylor, Miss Annie r. Maxwell, Mrs. F.
E. Wright and myself Below are the
statistics showing the condition of school
for the year ending June, 1882:
Number of pupils registered, 1873
Cost per pupil, on No. registered, $40 II
Average attendance, $50
Number of weeks in school year, Al
Estimated value of school property, $4,000
Number of male teachers,
Number of female teachers, 8
Salaries of teachers, S1,700
Estimated expenses of school, S1,8OO
The school is well graded. Children are
legally entitled to enter the Primary de-
partment at seven years of age, and are adj
mitted into the other departments when
found, by examination, to be qualified.
Examinations for promotion are held by
the Principal twice a year; his decision
being subject to the approval OF the Board
of Education. In addition to the course
Of study usually taught in common
schools, the Higher Mathematics, Latin,
Physics, Physiology, Physical Geography,
English History, Rhetoric and Book-keep-
ing are taught; also, Theory and Practice
of Teaching, to those who are fitting them
selves for teaching. Seventeen pupils
outside the limits of the district, and pay
ing tuition, have been in attendance the
past year. The school has grown in pop
ular favor, and has secured firmer hold
upon all classes, during the past year.
Prejudices, in many instances, have given
way to just and generous appreciation
of its benefits; a result most gratifying to
all who realize the importance of the pub
lie school system.
Respectfully yours,
A. S. WRIGHT, Principal.

Legislative Notes.

= Both Houses adjourned on Wednes-
day until Monday afternoon.
a bill providing for increased repre-
sentation for New Castle county, by con-
stitutional amendment, will probably be
introduced next week.
"A petition praying for the division Of
New Castle county, signed by about $50
persons, was introduced in the Senate on
Tuesday by Mr.. Cooper. A bill to divide
the county will probably be introduced.
~ The bill vesting the old Court House
property at New Castle in trustees was
passed by the House with amendments
providing that nothing in the act shall be
construed to deprive the county of any
rights granted under the old act.
In the Senate on Wednesday Mr..
Cavender gave notice OF bill to amend
Chapter So, Revised Code, in relation to
usury. The law as it stands makes both
principal and interest forfeitable in a
usurious contract. The eamendment makes
only interest, the principal being still re-
coverable.
The action of the Senate in refusing to
concur in the House amendments to the
Immigration bill will necessitate Com
mittee Of Conference. 1t is hoped that
something may be agreed upon that will
benefit the State. The House wants three
Commissioners and the Senate favors the
more sensible plan Of one Commissioner.
DIR. Crawford IS anti-bribery bill, which
seems to be an excellent measure, pro-
vides that any elector convicted Of receiv-
ing bribe shall be disfranchised four
wears for the first offense and eight years
for each subsequent offense, and shall
aslo, during the same periods, be incom-
petent to serve as juror. The BUery
EUeaisg correspondent, writing Of the
debate on this bill says: "Dr. Crawford
is one of the most direct and incisive
speakers in the House, wasting no words
but going straight to the point and deliv-
ering his views in sentences which are
both concise and solid"

Fire AnnarafnS.

The Town Commissioners and Citizens
Committee held a joint meeting on We'd
nesday evening to consider a proposition
of Mr. Thomas H. Peto, of Philadelphia,
to furnish certain fire apparatus to the
town of Middletown. Mr.. Peto offers to
furnish a secondhand fire-engine, new
hose carriage, a truck, five ladders, hooks,
axes and 400 feet of new hose for 81, ,055, or
the same apparatus, less 200 feet of hose,
for $3.50. He also offers to bring the en-
gine to Middletown and have it tried, and
if not purchased it may be returned, the
freight being paid by the town. The en-
gine in question has seen considerable
service but has been put in good order.
Its weight is about 1000 pounds, and it is
represented to have the capacity of throw
ing about fifty gallons Of water per min
ute. Mr.. Peto offers to sell it alone for
S24O. Mr.. T. W. Buckle went to Philadel-
phia on Tuesday and examined the en-
gine and reports it as being in good work
ing order. At the meeting on Wednesday
evening Mr.. Peto's proposition was, after
some debate, filed for further considera-
ton. The majority of the Commissioners
and Citizens Committee favor getting all
possible light on the fire apparatus ques-
ton before purchasing. They also favor
providing an ample water supply for the
engine, as they know full we'll that fire
engine without water other than could be
had from private pumps and wells would
be of little service to the town. We do
not think it would be we'll to purchase
any secondhand engine in haste, and the
Commissioners and Citizens Committee
seem to feel the need of "going slow'' in
such purchase, particularly as no plan
for water supply has yet been decided
upon. However cheaply a secondhand
engine might he offered it would seem
wise to make fuller inquiry than has been
made by the Commissioners into the cost
and advantages Of a new engine. A new
engine may have a. great many improve
ments that we should have the advantage
Of, and, besides, it is too often the case
that secondhand machinery is dear at any
price. A secondhand engine might be
dear to Middletown as a gift. Let us
know what Improvements have been put
on hand fire-engines within the past
twenty years, and what the difference in
cost between new fire-engine and an old
engine would be before we decide to rush
off and buy an old engine because it is Of
fered for little money. Since the purchase
OF fire apparatus has been long deferred
we can see no need of rushing now. By
moving slowly in the Salem matter very
much more reasonable proposition was
gained from the authorities of that city,
and it may result greatly to MiddIetown's
advantage to secure propositions from a
number Of other dealers in fire apparatus,
such as Mr.. Peto, before deciding to buy.
In the meantime, let US consider how we
Shall supply our engine with water when
we get it. Let us GO Slow in the matter
of buying secondhand tire-engine.

Chesapeake City's New Church.

Chesapeake City's New Church.
The opening Of the new Episcopal
Church took place last Sunday afternoon.
An audience filling the beautiful building
in every part was present. Rev. Mr..
Schouler, of Trinity Church, Elkton, to
whose zeal and energy is greatly due the
prompt erection of the edifice, was the
officiating clergyman. In his discourse
he stated that the building had been
erected on old church ground; that the
first church at st. Augustine was built one
hundred and fifty years ago; that ten
years later, Augustine parish, including
st. Augustine and Chesapeake City, was
set off from North Sassafras as a separate
parash; that in the last fifty years Chesa-
peake City had grown and 1ourished until
it had become the natural centre of the
parish and that it was proper, therefore,
that place of worship should be estab-
lished there. The entire service was very
interesting and it is believed the church
will be a prosperous one. Mr.. Schouler
will hold service every Sabbath afternoon
at three o'clock.-CecH County NeWS.

Robert E. Pattison, Governor of Penn
sylvania, during his boyhood days lived
with his father, clergyman of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, now deceased, at
st. Georges, when the Rev. Mr.. Pattison
was in charge of the circuit, which in
cluded st. Georges and Middletown. This
was in 1924. The young reform gov
ernor, though then only three or four
years Of age, told the writer recently that
he we'll remembered the old yellow par
sonage which was his home, and an anti
quated horse named "Bill" which his
father drove at that time, the distinguish
ing characteristic of the beast being to
stumble and fall whenever he had occa-
sion to go down a hill. Mrs. Pattison,
wife Of the Governor, is native Delawa-
rean, but when quite young removed with
her father, Edwin A. Smith, from st.
Georges to Philadelphia. Mrs. Pattison
has number of friends in this city formed
during residence of several years here
while pursuing her studies at Wesleyan
College, from which she was graduated
ten or twelve years ago.-Mor'ai'eg Ne0s.
