More About the Failure.

The announcement in fridays RE.
PUBLICAN of the failure of one of
Wilmington'sp prominent business men,
(no name being given) caused con.
siderable speculation as to whom the
article alluded to, and when the par.
ticulars were given to the public they
were more than surprised. The execu-
tion WAS issued against Daniel FL. Kent,
for many years connected with the
Kent Iron and Hardware Company,
but who sold out his interest in that
corporation some few months ago, he
being succeeded in the presidency of
the company by Edward b. Mode, the
vice president. On Friday the Sheriff
levied on the personal property of Mr..
Kent, consisting of two sailing vessels
and two family teams, to satisfy judg.
ment note of sc, ,457. .25, given by Mr..
Kent to Samuel G. Warner, of the A..
4. Smith 81 Warner Axle Company. 1t
is supposed that Mr.. Warner became
alarmed at a rumor to the effect that
another creditor was about to push Mr..
Kent, when he took the step in order to
secure himself. AS Mr.. Keut is a
member of the axle firm, rhis action on
the part of one of the members was
thought to be strange, but the liability
| is merely q personal one and is not q
transaction in which the company is
concerned. In reference to his present
ldifficulties, Mr.. Kent says he has more
than enough property to meet all his
obligations, while he has numerous
friends who have offered him financial
assistance in case of necessity. The
trouble, however, is thought to be only
temporary and that his difficulties will
soon be adjusted. Mr.. Kent says that
he has never experienced such hard
times as at present, which he considers
worse than the panies of 1861 and 1873.

A Fierce Warfare

is raging between Colonel Henry Wat
terson, of the esteemed Louisville Cour-
ier.Journal, and Colonel John Mclean,
of the esteemed Cincinnati Enquirer,
aud diplomatic relations between these
eminent journalists and statesmen have
been entirely suspended. Colonel Me-
Lean, it appears, printed something
about Cleveland in his paper to which
Colonel Watterson objected, and Col.
Watterson, who has recognized himself
as the boss censor OF all Democratic Or
gans In the country condemned Colonel
Mclean spublication in language which
has led to fierce quarrel betw cen them.
Colonel Watterson let's no day pass
without firing a cart load Of his choicest
expletives at Colonel Mclean, while the
latter has already exhausted the voca-
bulary of his wrath on Colonel Waiter
son, and has standing offer to pay $50

strictly tirst-class term of opprobrium
which can be effectively applied to his
hated rival.

Trouble I'm . Good Templars q Lodge

This little town has been agitated for
some time concerning the attentions Of
the young pastor of one of the churches
10 several married ladies, among whom
IL included the wife of the pastor of
another church. The current gossip
found its way into the local newspaper
and the sensation eliminated at q
recent meeting of the lodge of Good
Tenn plars. Some of the boys who en-
joyed the scene from the Outside say
that the name of the second pastor's
wife had been proposed for mem ber.
ship, and the result was that she was
black -balled. One OF the members
made an uncalled-for remark on the
result, when one of the lady members,
an elderly one, said: don think any
woman who would sit in hammock
with man not her husband, even II
he be o minister, Is fit to belong to this
lodge"
The second pastor then arose and In a
heated tone declared eff my wife
isn't fit TO belong 10 this body then
am not" A remark from the frs,
preacher then brought another gentle
man to his feet, who declared to the
second minister's wife and the lodge
that the young preacher had been too
attentive to the wife of prominent
merchant, who was also present. This
resulted in bringing out some very
iplain remarks from the enraged wife d
the merchant. Everybody present tried
to talk at the same time.
During the argument one of the mem
bers Of the lodge threatened to throw
the young preacher oet of the window
while anot her male member defied an,
six to put the Clergyman out Of thu
room. Membe rs Of both sexes were
charged with improprieties, and tn
