MIDpLErowN,s TROUBLE.

DisorderJy Negroes.

A Correspondents Who Declares That
Saturday Nights are Made HIdeous by
DisorderIy Negroes.
To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE will
you kindly allow me room enough in your
newsy sheet to introduce myself to the
bald-headPd editor" of the Middletown
papers The few lines written several days
since to the Morning NewS were intended as a
reminder to the Intelligent Board of Town
Commissioners of Middletown, (and who
are very well aware of it), of the state of
affairs which has been going on for several
years, and is still increasing ,-of the law
lessness, riotous conduct, obscenity and
profanity that have become as an old song,
and are expected weekly, just as sure as
the editors borrowed wit, and illusions on
town propriety and town government If
such behavior suits his cultured ear and tastes
we are sure 1t does not meet with the ap-
proval of our enlightened community. And
we therefore again aver, and more en-
phatically, without fear OF successful con-
tradictiOn, that we speak the sentiments of
the refined and intelligent portion of this
community, when we say that Middletown,
on Saturday nights, from 8 to IL O'Clock
and after, has the largest, most disorderly,
lawless, vicious and worst governed negro
population who come here from the country
round, of any town on the Peninsula, and
WeScnailenge Cne WIGS OF africa 10 pro-
duce worse crowd. Not over six months
ago a correspondent of the Transcript
called attention to the same. The lawless-
ness is confined to the young negroes, be-
tween the ages of 16 and 80 years, and they
defy and curse the small policeman here.
OF course, there are some exceptions of
older and well behaved colored persons, ,and
to these all praise for good behavior. But
the laws of the town and State should be
enforced upon the bad onees. And Mr.
Editor of Transcript, mark ye | the
time will come, not very far dis
tant, when the truculent editor,
ambitious storekeeper, and others will
mourn the day when in the language of the
Dover DeldwdreGn, "the bars are let down"
for the introduction of negro rowdyism,
negro equality, and negro voting with
decent Democratic society. And you will
find that the inch you are now trying to
give them to cater for their trade and votes,
will amount to more than a mile in the end.
My remarks written to the NelCs were sub
stantially as above though not so extended,
and were not altogether printed as written,
being made general by the NeaOs, whereas
they were intended exclusively for the
above mentioned class, the lawless young
negroes of this community.

Saturday afternoon the Nationals of Phil.

900 spectators were present and but little
interest was manifested on account of the
one-sidedness and unevenness of the con-
test. There was no particular playing on
either side, although the home club batted
pitched for the frst time in this city, and
made rather good attempt, Cussick acting
as back stop. The following is an unofficial

A NEW DEPARrURE.
A Proposed system of Registration for
Professional Nurses.

Professional Nurses.
Register Frazer last evening said there
was some probability of opening a registra-
ton office for Lurses in his department.
"OLr physicians Ieel the need of such a reg
istratioD," said he. "It is proposed to
adopt the plan now used in Philadelphia, of
advertising for nurses, competent and trust
worthy, to wait on all sick persons
who may reed help; sal nurses to
as to honesty, good character and experience
in nursing the sick. A prominent physician
stated to-day that such a registration
would be of great use in our
city. Many persons desire a nurse
but are unable to procure one in
whom they have confidence. No one is
to be registered except they come with good
and sufficient references. The plan to be
adopted would show at all times who were
engaged and by whom, and when discharged
to notify the Registrar of the fact; SO that
when persons call for a nurse a glance at
the registration would show who were
engaged, and who could be procured, with
their references, thereby enabling those in
want to select from large number. Such
a registration would enable many worthy
persons, both male and female, to obtain
employment and save much trouble and anx-
iety in families who are afflicted with
sickness. The plan proposed to be adopted
will give the person applying for nurse as
little trouble as possible. After selection
has been made the nurse could be notified
by the messenger in the health office that
their services were needed at No. -.
The references could be consulted If neet:ed
as their names and residences would be
registered along with the nurses names and
residences"
The Registrar thinks the plan is good
one, that will, If adopted, be popular with
our people.

DENTON, ND, April 2s.-In the Beach
amp case, to-day, Dr. Alex Hardcastle, q
physician in large practice in the upper part
OF the county, was called as a medical ex-
pert. He stated that he was not an expert
In poisoning cases; had never seen a case of
strycnnia poisoning, and that he had not
been summoned as witness and was only
in the Court House as spectator. He was
excused. - rlil .s.-
The State closed its direct evidence at 12
O'Clock to-day. The last witness put on the
stand by the State was William T. Hignutt,
who testified that he, together with
Thomas FL. Lewis and Alex. Wright,
laid out the body of Martin
Beachamp at four o'clock the afternoon
he died, six hours after death, and at that
time the body was timber, the head bend
ing forward, and the pelvis sinking down
when the body was lifted up by the head
and shoulders and the hips that they put
the body in sitting posture on the floor
without any difficulty while taking off the
vest, shirt and undershirt that the eyes
were little way open and they closed
them by pressing down the lids and that
they remained closed that the mouth was
a little way open and that they closed it by
pressing the jaws together with the hand
and that it remained closed.
THE DEFENSE BEGUN.
AS soon as the State closed the attorneys
for the defense put Thomas 3. Latimer,
professor of physiology of the Baltimore
College of Physicians and Surgeons, on the
stand. A long hypothetical case embracing
the testimony as to ante mortem symptoms
and the results of the post-mortem exami-
nation as detailed by the witnesses for the
State, was put to the professor, ,and he stated
that In his opinion as a medical man death
was not produced by strychnia poi
soning. He was Immediately handed over
to the State, ,and Counselor Gibson subjected
him to very lengthy discrimination,
which only resulted in bringing out more
clearly the professors statement that death
was not caused by strychnia poisoning, and
that the trace of strychnia found in the liver
and contents of the stomach might have got
there in any one of a dozen different
ways on account of the insufficient care
which was taken of the remains. The
redirect examination of Prof. Latimer was
just about to begin when court adjourned.
In all probability the case will be concluded
on Monday or Tuesday next. The crowd
In attendance at the trial to-day was small
compared with what it was when the case
began. The prisoners spirits seem to be
rising hourly. Her lady friends are still
faithful In their attention. She enters and
leaves the court room every day on the arm
of Counselor Mutchler.
