The Quarantine NJ Lewes.

DIR. Stone, who was sent by Surgeon
General Hamilton TO see whether il
would be desirable TO establish quar-
antine station at Lewes, has forwarded
his report to Washington, but it will
not be given for publication until IL has
been submitted to the Acting Secretary
of the Treasury. IT is understood, how.
ever, that the report favors the estab.
lishment of quarantine at that point,
and that his recommendations will meet
the approval of the Treasury Depart
ment.
1t would not be possible TO begin the
erection of buildings for station this
season, but the Surgeon General can
have an old hulk for a hospital ship,
while the revenue cutter now cruising
IN that vicinity can be utilized as
an inspection steamer, to overhaul
all vessels bound up the Delaware
Bay.

RICHMOND, July 30.-The Governors

ture has complicated the probabilities
Of the result in Virginia In the coming
Presidential election.
The Democrats do not hesitate to say
that they are determined TO carry the
State for Cleveland, and 1t IL feared the
Legislature may enact law, rs It can
do under the United States Constitution
giving the Congressional districts the
right TO elect Presidential electors, and
thus give them under their gerry man
der nine out of twelve electors.
This, Of course, they would prefer 10

with such fiattering prospects for Blaine

While the Bourbon press Of the State
pretends to ask nothing but q business
session of the Assembly, that presence
is delusion, as the future will show.
The purpose of the extra session is
TO thwart the will Of the majority. In.
formation just received here says that
Il. b. Berkeley, Of Farmville. heretofore
a prominent Bourbon leader, has de.
clared his intention to support Blaine

The.Philadelphia papers this morning
contain An account Of the sudden death
OF young woman, whom IL Is thought
recently came TO that city from Will
miugton. The particulars Of the affair
are AS follows:
A young woman, unconscious and
breathing heavily, was last evening
found lying in the yard attached to the
saloon No. 902 Vine street. She was
removed to the house, laid upon q table
and In few minutes was dead. OH
Ger McCaulley was called in and told
that che had been thrown or had fallen
from the window Of the house. The
body was taken to the Sixth district
police station, where 1t was searched,
but nothing was found TO reveal her
identity. The deceased, who had been
= very good-looking woman, was about
80 years of age. She was well dressed
In black satin gown, heavily beaded
down the front. Her clothing was clean
and Of good quality.
Lieutenant Kelly, of the Detective
Corps, was In the neighorl,ood, and at
once proceeded TO investigate the case,
as the result Of his invest CATION he con-
cluded that 1t was either case Of sui
eide by poison or the woman had died
from over-indulgence in intoxicAnts.
The story of her falling from the win.
dow is not credited, as there were no
marks or bruises upon the body, and
the detectives theory is nearer correct.
After the body had been taken to the
police station young man entered the
place and asked to see the body. YES, !"
he said, as the face was uncovered,
" that's the woman l left at 8 o'clock
at Ninth and Race streets" Lieutenant
Kelly then closely questioned him.
He said his name was Michael Doltz,
and that he had a ro.m at the lodging
house ofJohn q. Mann, No. Sl4 Cherry
street, where the girl had an adjoining
room. He had known the girl ;.s Lot
tie Bradley, and she had been staying
at the house about three weeks. He
was detained at the station house to a.
wait the action of the Coroner, who had
had drank several milk punches dur
ing the day.
AT the lodging house Lieutenant Kel-
ly learned that Dol,z was known there
as Daniel Newton, while the proprie tor

ton and had a husband il New York.
They say that The has been acting
strangely for some time past, walking
the door for hours ut time and talking
in low tones, making frequent illusions
to the officers whom she supposed were
after her, and the men " no had chased
her.
The case will be fully investi gated by
the Coroner. AS result of Inquiries
made this morning by REPUBLICAN
reporter, lit was learned that the girl had
been former resident of Wilmington,
and was a frequenter ola house of i'll
repute, where she was we'll known. Be-
yond this nothing could be learned OF
her past history.
