ONLY A LITTLE over day and then
the Municipal Court is to be set up In
Wilmington, but who the Judge of that
court is to be is a profound secret to all
except the Governor and few Demo-
cratic politicians who pull wires for the
Governor and tell him what to do in the
case. By Friday, if the ew-fangled
law is put in operation, Mayor Wales
seat in the police court will be graced ca
by all other figure and by his side will
be :" Jimmy" O'Toole, or some other
tool for a non partisan clerk. But there
may be hitch. Who knows. There
has been considerable of hitch in the
Water Commission. That august body
so far on ~ exists in name, but we are
told that a rose by any other name
smells as sweet.
The Municipal Court Commission
that is to govern Wilmington by the
way of Dover may have learned n les
son from the hesitancy of Mr. Mclntire
to take possession of his office. The
Judge may come backed by an armed
force and may be supported by bayonet
rule. No doubt he would if he thought
it would give him his office. However,
we are not anticipating either armed
aggression or armed INSTRUMENTATION
choosing 10 leave that out of the ques-
ton. But suppose Mayor Wales does
not see proper to abdicate his seat, what
will the rump court on paper do about
it ? Suppose even that the court should
get possession Of the Mayors office, wha
would it do about it if the police re-
fused to bring any prisoners before it to
he tried ? These are only supposable
positions, but who knows that there
may not be reality in them?

Death OF Charles A. BrocIsmeyer.

The Huntington wv. Val Argus OF the
20th has the following with reference to
the death OF {. A. Brockmeyer, who was
during and after the war not unknown TO
fame in this section:
Charles A. Brockmeyer, aged fiity-three
years, died at his residence, on Third ave-
nue., last Wednesday evening, after lin
gering and painful illness OF several
months, from spinal disease, leaving a wife,
two sons, and two daughters, his eldest
son being William +. Brockmeyer, our
Third-avenue tobacconist.
Mr. Brockmeyer came 10 this country at
an early age and settled in Baltimore,
where he was living when the late civil
war commenced, and although friend to
the Government. he was forced to serve
eighteen months in the Confederate army.
At the expiration OF this time he was ar
rested for his Union sentiments and con-
fined in Castle Thunder at Richmond.
where he was tried by court.martial, but
on account OF his former action was allowed
to go free, and sent North through the
lines on condition that he should not
take up arms against the South. At
the close OF the war he removed to
Richmond, thence to Coyington, thence to
Charleston, and few years ago came
to this city; and in all these places he was
highly esteemed by those who were for
tunate enough to make his acquaintance
for his many noble qualities. He was a
consistent member Of the Catholic church.
At 8 O'Clock Friday morning his remains
were escorted to the Catholic church Of
this city, where the Rev. Father Quirk
conducted the funeral services, after which
he was taken to the Catholic cemetery at
Guvandotte and laid to rest

Narrow Escape.

Yesterday evening a countryman named
John West made a narrow escape from
death. He was driving mule attached to
a two-wheeled cart down Main street, when
one OK the wheels came off a short distance
above the Dispatch office. The axle fell to
the street, and the driver was thrown OH
his back almost under the mules feet.
The animal became frightened and dashed
OF at furious speed. dragging West by
the lines a distance Of fifteen or twenty
yards. The axle pulled him along a short
distance by his head, and then jumped over
him. To the astonishment Of all who saw
the scene, as soon rs the cart passed over
him West jumped up unhurt and ran after
it. The cart was stopped near Thirteenth
street. No damage was done TO the mule
or cart, but another wagon was run into,
a shaft broken, aud the horse slightly hurt.
West SAID he had been "scratched worse
with briars," but bis escape from death on
serious injury was hairbreadth.

The MinstrcIs Last Night.

Last night Thatcher, Primrose & Vests
Minstrels were at the Richmond Theatre.
They came bringing with them fine repu-
tation, and they fully sustained it. The
house was filed with people, even the
Standing-room in the galleries being occu-
pied, and many were turned away who
were anxious to get this even.
The MINISTRIES cannot be eXcelled in their
specialties, and presented last night some
new features that were very agreeable.
The singing was beyond doubt better
than the average music OF the kind seen
with minstrel companies. The scXtette,
composed OF MesSrs. Raymond. Howard,
Sheppard, Gilbert, Holmes, and Noble, in
their rendition Of selection from the
opera Lucia, proVokod the greatest ap-
pause from The best musical critics pre-
sent. II was the feature OF the entertain
ment and will always win praise.
Mr.. Frank Howard sung his new song,
"When the Robins Nest Again." and it
was listened to with great pleasure. 1t is
pretty song and suits the authors fine
voice. lie was called out the second time
to sing it. The performance was first-class
throughout. No better OF its kind has ever
appeared here, and perhaps never will.
Matinee this afternoon at 2:30 and per-
formance as liSual at night.
