A Scene at the DepOt-An Unfortunate
Baby.
Quite sensational affair took place at the
depot yesterday forenoon. Ernest Hirsch,
until lately of this city but now working at
the Branford lock factory, and his wife met
by agreement on the depot platform in this
city. few weeks ago, while he was out of
work for q short time, his wife left him and
went to her home in Danbury with her three
months old child. He wrote to her repeat
eddy and asked her to return to him. as he
had a good place,-making fair wages. He
has been able to support her all the time, but
she would not return. Yesterday she came
from Danbury with the child and her mother.
The mother asked Hirsch to hold the
child for minute which he did. No sooner
had he taken the child than they turned
around and ran through the depot and got
into a carriage. Hirsch followed after with
the child and attempted to put it
into the carriage. The women screamed
and the bystanders caught hold
of Hirsch and forced him from
the carriage. Officer Kennedy appeared on
the scene and took all parties to the station
house where Isaac Morris, a relative of the
woman, charged Hirsch with breach Of the
peace. 1t is said on the one side that the
mother is anxious to get rid of the child and
leave her husband to marry a man living in
Danbury. The child was left in the after
noon at q house on West street and the wo-
man and her mother returned TO their home

beautiful After this ceremony speeches

THE DAY IN GUIFoRD.

Memorial day morning augured favorable
weather and propitieus occasion but human
hopes and plans are often subject to disap-
pointment and this occasion, was not wholly
an exception. Detachments from Parmelee
post G. A. R., went to Leete's Island and
Nutplains and decorated the graves of their
departed comrades in those cemeteries one
and four respectively and about 40 of the
members assembled at their headquarters,
Music Hall, at one p. m. preparatory tovisit,
ing the two cemeteries in the borough, but
owing to some Unacceptable cause the process
sion was not formed until 1:45, when it pro-
ceeded to the West and thence back to the
hall and the East cemeteries in the following

so, beautiful my country, ours once more,
Smoothing thy gold of undissheveled hair,
Ger such sweet brows as never other wore,
And letting thy pale lips
Freed from truths full eclipse
The rosy edges OF their smile lay bare,
What words divine of lover or of poet
Could tell our love and make thee know it.
Among the nations, bright beyond compare,
What were our lives without thee?
What all our lives to save thee?
We reck not what we gave thee,
We will not dare to doubt thee,
But ask v hatever else and we will dare.

Veterans in carriages and foot
Owing to the threatening state of the wealth
er the ceremonies we're somewhat abbreviat-
ed. The veterans received the wreaths, bou-
quets, ETC., from the misses and as the pro-
cession moved through the different avenues
of the cemeteries, comrades were detailed to
each grave and at signal from a bugle
flowers were simultaneously deposited
and signal from the same
source summoned them into line
again. The rain scattered the carriages and
citizens at the East cemetery and the vete-
rams returned to the Green, where they
placed cross of flowers upon the pedestal
of the soldiers monument that is to be, gave
three cheers for the sons of the veterans and
again marched to their hall and disbanded

Town Election.

But little interest was taken in the cleo
ton for Town Commissioners, Treasurer,
Assessor and Alderman, on Monday, and
surprisingly light vote was polled. There
were two tickets in the field, but the con-
test was only over the Commissioners, the
same set of candidates for Treasurer, AS
SCISSOR and Alderman being on both tickets.
On the Citizens Ticket" w. P. Biggs,
T. w. Buckle and DIR. T. II. Gilpin, for
Commissioners, were the candidates OF the
Water party" that is, the party that is
understood to be in favor of giving the
town water system for protection against
fire, and Of borrowing the money to pro-
vide the system and suitable fire appa-
ratus. The opposition nominated for
Commissioners, G. w. w. Naudain, s. s.
Holten, and Charles H. Howell. In JUS
tice to these gentlemen we must say that
we do not believe any one Of them is OPP
posed to having the town provided with
water for fire purposes, and with suitable
apparatus for extinguishing fires. They
and many Of their supporters differed from
the " Water party" mainly on the ques-
ton of borrowing money to put in the
water system and buy the apparatus.
But as there is but little money in the
town treasury we can think of no practi-
cable way in which water and fire appa-
ratus can be secured within reasonable
time without borrowing the money
However, the water party does not favor
borrowing the money until practicable
plan for water supply is fixed upon, but
if the Commissioners do not get the au-
thority to borrow at the present session OF
the General Assembly, nothing can be
done for two years. The vote for Com
missioners was as follows: Citizens Tick

$1,000 Worth Of Experience.

Jesse Williams, said to be of Canada,
arrived at the new Broad street station,
Philadelphia, on Monday afternoon last.
He carried hand bag containing $1,000 in
gold and a gold watch. He was not a
country editor off for weeks recreation,
as YOU might suppose, but man OF specu-
lative turn, on his way to Delaware to
buy land. While he was sitting In the
station, waiting for the Delaware tram,
pious looking person with bundle under
his arm asked him which way he was
going. and Jesse replied that he was on
his way to that land of pure delight COM
monty called Delaware. The plous-looK-
ing man said he was going that way him
self, and, further, that he owned 4OO-acre
farm in Kent county and was going down
to see how his peach buds looked. Then
he went on to say that he was almost
total abstainer, but just at that moment
he felt as though he wanted something lor
his stomach's sake, and he invited jesse
to 90 with him to the bar. Jesse SAID ne
felt as though he wanted something tor
his stomach's ache, too, but expressed
anxiety about his grip bag. The pious-
looking man said that would be all right,
and laying his paper bundle by the side
of Jesse's valise, asked young man who
was sitting near to "take care Of these two
valuable packages" The young man ex-
pressed himself too glad to be OF service
to them. and Jesse and his new friend
went out and looked upon the beer when
it foamed. But while Jesse had his nose
in the glass and his eyes closed, and the
beer was biting like an adder, the plous-
looking man went out in hurry and for
got to come back. It is believed that he
and the young man who was left to "take
care" Of the grip bag got on the New York
train. Probably they thought Jesse was
not suitable person to have charge OF a
grip bag containing $1,000 and gold
watch. They left behind them the paper
package carried by the pious-looking man
when he first accosted Jesse, and when 1t
was opened it was found to contain only
pair of gum shoes that appeared to have
endured the wear and tear of some seven
winters. Jesse reported his. loss at the
station-house. The valise was found in an
alley in Philadelphia, but without the
gold and watch. The thieves were ar
rested in New York on Wednesday and
have been fully identified by Williams.

a New and wise Departure.

The Dover correspondent OF the VIII
mington Morning NetOS says: A confer
ence of the members of the Legislature
and number Of New Castle men on the
subject of increased representation was
held at Dover on Tuesday night Among
those present besides the members OF the
Legislature were George Gray, victor
DUPONT, Edward R. Cochran, Henry b.
McIntire, Harry Sharpley, Henry K. PEN
ington, Ignatius @. Grubb and j. Parke
Postles. The whole matter was discussed
and bill prepared by Mr.. Grubb was
read. It provides for an increase for New
Castle county of five Representatives and
to increase the number of Senators from
each county to four. OF the five additional
Representatives Wilmington is to have
four and of the Senators two. The whole
change is proposed to be made by consti-
tutional amendment. In the discussion
that followed speeches were made by al
most all present. A majority Of the Kent
and Sussex men advocated an increase OF
four Representatives, but some were in
favor of five, and it is likely that the whole
delegation will agree to the larger num-
ber. The bill will doubtless be put in at
an early day. The speeches of the lower
county members showed desire to deal
fairly by Wilmington. Under Mr.. Grubb's
bill all the Representatives from Will
mington will be elected by the voters of
that city. The opinion that the change
should be made by constitutional amend
ment was practically unanimous.

The LYcenm.

About seventy persons, large majority
of whom were ladies, came to the Lyce-
um's public meeting on Monday evening
and were entertained for nearly two hours
by literature and music. Mr.. W. n. Will
son read paper from Anthony Trollope,
on Longfellow's ''Evangeline." Miss Mol
lie Burris and Miss Jennie Wright each
read a pleasing selection from Whittier.
Miss Sylvia Wright read an interesting
descriptive paper on researches at the
buried cities of Herculaneum and PompeL.
Mr.. M. B. Burris read very amusing
burlesque story by Burdette, printed some
months ago in the TRANSCRIPT and en-
titled, "The Boy Navigator" The story
is a capital take-off on the prevailing style
of literature for boys and girls, and the
audience much appreciated its many good
points. Rev. Mr.. Lewis read by request
the concluding part of his lecture, " The
Reirn Of Fire" The literary exercises
were interspersed with good music. A
pretty vocal selection by Miss Jennie
Wright and instrumental selections by
Miss Eva Lockwood and Miss Mary Price
pleased the audience very much. On next
Monday evening the Lyceum will take
up the study of English literature, to
which it will no doubt devote much of
the remainder of the season. All who
have received questions on this subject
should endeavor to be prepared with full
and clear answers. There will be, be-
sides the exercises in English literature,
music and probably several essays. There
is plenty OF room, and members of the
society should invite their friends to at
tend with them.

Death of Thomas Davis.

Thomas Davis, one Of the Oldest resi-
dents Of Smyrna, died suddenly on Tues
dav at the age of seventy-two. He was
born in Slaughter's Neck, Cedar Greek

lower Kent county when young man.
Afterwards he resided for time near

returned to Kent and lived on farm ne
had purchased in the "Alley'' until he
removed to Smyrna. He was a very sue
cessful farmer and loved his vocation, but
advancing years and a painful disease
compelled his retirement about eight years
AGO. Mr.. Davis served one term in the
State Legislature. He was brother OF

Delaware Fruit Exchange.

The meeting to organize fruit exchange
was held at Dover on Monday afternoon,
with j. G. Brown as chairman and D. p.
Barnard, Jr., secretary. W. P. Corsa pre-
sented a copy OF the constitution of the
New York Produce Exchange for guild
ance. William Dean, w. P. Corsa and J..
G. Brown were selected a committee to
draft charter. The committee was di-
rected to prepare circular letter setting
forth the objects of the exchange. Moth
ing definite was agreed upon as to the cost
of membership, but s25 was suggested.
Chairman Brown in a speech said that If
an exchange were established at Will
mington the growers could net twelve
cents basket on peaches, thus making
them the most profitable crop grown.
Those present were requested to talk the
matter up among their neighbors and Sc
cure new members. The outlook is con-
sidered hopeful. The name of the asso-
citation is to be the Delaware Fruit Ex-

nIiddletoun,s Postmaster.

The President on Friday last nominated
Daniel L. Dunning, the present incum-
bent, to be postmaster at Middletown, and
the Senate confirmed the nomination.
Mr.. Dunning was first appointed to this
place in 1861, and has held it ever since,
with the exception Of two years during
President Johnson's administration, when
John z. Crouch was postmaster. In view
of the fact that so many Delaware post
masters who were not prominently identi-
fed with the outspoken Stalwart wing OF
their party have recently had to walk the
plank that leads to private life, many per-
sons here believed that Mr.. Dunning
would not be renominated, and coniec-
lures about who would be the next post
master have frequently been heard on the
streets. Mr.. Dunning has been very
obliging officer and his hisreappointment will
be received by Middletown people with
satisfaction. Few postmasters of the third
class have held office SO long as he.
