H00OtI0B On Ou0 NOW~POpOs uoWs
Mr.. A. \. Abel, the founder Of the
Baltimore SIM, which he has conducted
now going on ~ years, celebrated yes
terday the 77th anniversary Of his
birth, at Guilford, his family seat, In
Baltimore County, where great num-
Der of friends called on him between
two and six o'clock in the afternoon TO
extend their congratulations. Consider
ing the fact that at this season of the
year so many of the people are away
from town and that no formal invita-
tons were sent out, it was very crafty
ing to Mr.. Abel and his family that so
large number Of friends called, and
that so many others, who remembered
the fete day, sent kind and cheering
letters.
In doing the honors of his hospitable
house Mr.. Abel was assisted by his
sons, Messrs. Edwin i. Abel and
Walter K. Abel. The entire absence
of ceremony made every one feel at
home and rourded off most delightful
afternoon. The portrait Of Mr.. A s.
Abel, In the reception room, was en-
twihed with roses, and opposite the
picture was a beautiful floral design,
the centre of which composed the dates
/" 1So6-lSS3. A full-fieighred steam
ship made of roses, .japouicas and lilies,
under Roadway in an cvergre eli sea was
the chief of the floral offerings dedicated
to the occasion. Among other strikingly
beautiful tributes were two splendid
snntiOwers, each over twelve inches in
diameter, which were placed on the
buffet.

TROY, N. Y, August l0.-There is
grave reason to fear that three tramps
and boy, besides the six employees OF
the Company that have been already
recorded, were burned to ashes in the
fire which followed the Troy and Boston
Railroad collision week ago Wednes-
day, The statement is made that the
four were, at their own request, locked
in freight car at North Adams by a
brakeman. The boy is thought to be
a son of Thomas Commit, who ran
away from his fathers house On the
night before the collision. Tie heat
from the fire was so intense that The
bodies of all the victims but one We're
reduced to ashes, and it is impossible to
tell how many victims were included in
its embrace. The brakeman, who is
said to have locked them in the car is
still alive, and the Company's EN-
ployees in this city credit the report.

who 10 the Heed Of the i" Court p,

This morning shortly after Q o'clock,
while the reporters were seated at their
table at the Municipal Court, Clerk
Pennington announced: "There are
no cases this morning, gentlemen" and
they having no other business there,
got up and went out. In few min
utes the reporter of the REPUBLICAN
dropped in again and found that case
was being heard.
At the close of the case officer Tibbett
asked for warrant for person on a
barge of disOrderly conduct, but as he
is well-known and fills a responsible
position the Judge concluded to send
Tor him and talk the matter, over and fl
nally held it under adviseInent. The re-
porters of the other journals had gone
out, and when the representative of the
REPUBLICAN again took his seat at the
table, he was informed by the Clerk
that the proceedings before the Court
were not tor the public, and given TO
understand that his room would be
more highly appreciated than his COM
pany.
The gentleman who was the most
deeply interested in the case, objected
to the reporter being ousted in this sum
mary manner, and he remained until
the close. This incident gives rise TO
several pertinent questions, one of
which is, who is the head of the court?
and another, is not the City Hall where
the cases are heard public place ? and
lastly, can even Judge Cummins him
self prevent a citizen from coming in
and listening to the proceedings ST. long
as he conducts himself in a decorous
manner
The hail belongs 10 the citizens Of
Wilmington, and although by permits
sion of the representatives OF the people
in Council it is occupied by the NUM-
cipal Court it is not owned by il, and
Mr. Pennington makes a great mistake
in endeavoring to prevent any one from
listening to the proceedings of the
court. A request from an individual
not to publish case is genera ly re-
spected by the reporters, but it certain
ly comes with "A bad grace from All Off
cia to attempt 10 prey ent case being
made public by ordering reporter out.

The Result Of a Spree.

The West Chester Local News pub
fishes the following: "Two young
bloods from Wilmington, Del, hired a
horse and buggy at thar place to 90 to
a picnic a few miles from that city In
stead of going there they got on Il spree,
and in the afternoon they made their
appearance at Sagers mill. In cross
ing the county bridge at that place
hey had the horse on full run, and
on reaching Mr.. Sager's house they run
the horse against the fence surrounding
his dwelling and the carriage against a
hitching post, which brongh them to
short stop. The young men managed
to get ont of the vehicle and attempted
to 90 into the house, hu. Mr.. Sagers or.
dered them off. They said they wanted
II segar, but were informed that there
was no hotel kept there, and again they
were ordered off.
"They got their horse and wagon again
in the road, and inquired the way to
West Chester, when they started off on
full run. On arriving at "Jack"
Hil's smith shop they ran over the
tongue of a wagon, and narrowly escap-
ed upsetting the carriage A short dis.
lance beyond the smith shop they got
to duarreling among themselves, when
one of them got out of the vehicle, leav-
ing his hat and one shoe behind, while
the others turned the horse and drove
back towards Wilmington. The one
left behind staid over night at the farm
house near by, and this morning wend.
ed his way back to Wilmington, minus
his hat and one shoe. If the poor horse
survived the terrible treatment he re-
ceived he must be a tough one"
