Tho Letter Carriers. Is Days Rest

The over.worked letter carriers at the
Wilmington post-office will soon enter
upon Is days leave Of absence, recently
granted them by special act Of Congress,
and it is to be hoped that during their
vacation they will secure the full bene-
tii of the same and return to their labors
much refreshed and invigorated, for
tn re is no class of working men who
deserve such q respite from their labors
as those persons who daily deliver the
mail at the citizens homes. The vaca-
ton will be so arranged that only two
carriers will be absent at a time and
their places will be filled by substitutes.
In order to amicably arrange the mat
ter as to who should be the first to &C
off duty, the carriers drew lots yester
day with the following result: August
1st, q. @. Carpenter and Joseph Rigby
August 10th, George b. Lewis and 8

Decision Of the Court.

The Court Of Errors and Appeals,
which held a session at Dover yester-
day, rendered an opinion declaring the
act creating the Water Commission con.
stitutional. The decision, which was
read by Chancellor salisbury, was
quite long, and says that the city OF
Wilmington is municipal corporation,
existing under and created by the leRis-
lative authority of the State, and that
the Legislature has power to take away
or amend the charter at any time.
1t declares that the Mayor, Council
and Board Of Water Commissioners are
merely corporate agents which exercise
the powers and duties conferred upon
them by the Legislature, that the water
works and other property Of the city
have been obtained through money
raised by taxation, and consequently
obtained exclusively for q public, and
not private purpose.
The water works are for the public
benefit, and not private emolument
that the authority to procure, hold and
manage the same, was granted by the
Legisiature for q public purpose Of gen.
eral concern that as the power to
govern and control the direction and
manaGeOent OF the water works was
voetod In City Council BY the Legtsla.
ture, II has seen ft to remove that
power, and vest 1t In Board of Water
Com missioners, but this removal does
| mot Affect the title Of the property, which
still remains in the city, and lie still to
BE- used for its accustomed purpose.
That the act creating the Water Com.
mission neither divests corporate pro.
perty new diverts Its use, but merely
transfers, not the property but Its mana
cement and control, from one designs
ted corporate agent and legislative in
strumentality to that Of another, upon
whom it confers all the power and i'm.
poses all the daties necessary to ac-
complish the purposes for which said
property has been procured by the
city.
This decision places the water supply
with the works, books, paperSand al

BALTIMORE, July 22.-When the
Baltimore and Potomac train stopped
at Halls Station, IAN Prince Georges q
County, ON tie Pope's Creek branch,
this morning, among the passengers
who embarked on 1t for the junction
at Bowie was a neatly dressed white
woman, of very prepossessing appear
aLce, heavily veiled. The person who
acted rs her escort was rough, burly,
country negro, named Jesse Platter, no
carried two large satchels in his hand,
and HANGING to one OF them was heavy
pair Of b4o(An boots, which Indicated
that the two w0Eo moving from the vici-
nifty. They entered the rear car and
took seats fAcihg the back door, so "a
not to be noticsd by the other passen-
gers. "a
The train wasWell Alled at the time
and some Of the passengers knowing the
lady to be . Miss Owens, o daughter
Of the late DIR. Owens, q well. known
physician of Anna Arundel County,
thought it singular that she should be
on the train In such company. Her man
ner was uneasy and myster ious, and it
served to still further create suspicion
among the passengers. When captain
Bibby, the conductor, approached the
couple to collect their fares, the lady
attempted TO pass the negro off as her
servant. When the next station was
reached Captain Bibby was handed q
letter from DR.. Richardson, who is said
to be a brother-in-law of the lady, ask
ing him TO lookout for the pair and ar
rest them.
This let the cat out of the bag, but the
conductor being clothed with no author
ity to make arrests kept his own coun.
sci in reference to the matter, at the
same time keepinga close eye on the
couple. When they reached Benning 4
Station they were arrested by office,
Prather Of the Washington police force.
They were taken TO the station and gave
their names as Jesse Platter and Ellen
Owens, and their ages as 81 and 81 years
respectively. The woman states that
they left home for the purpose Of get
ting married.
She left DR.. Richardson's place yester
day afternoon and travelled in o wagor
TO Mulliken's Station, on the Pope,
Creek Line. She says that the maj
had been living there some years, tha
they had been courting since January
last, and that she intended to marry
esse at his sisters house.
The pair were married at Be nning'
tonight.
