NEWARK, July 15.-Miss Sarah E.
Mackey, daughter of Professor William
d. Mackey of Delaware College, was mar-
ried this evening at her fathers residence
to q. w. Cosden of North East, Md.
The wedding was u rather quiet one in
,deference, to the serious illness of the
BRIDES father. Mr.. Coaden IL the station
agent of the p, W., a. b. railroad at
North East and 1t is supposed they will
take up their abode there later. ~
A young and precocious colored youth
named Fred. Underhill has been sent to
New Castle Jail ON the charge of assault
ilnd battery, much to. the relief of the
younger element of the town, whom he
took savage delight in teasing. 1t APP
pears that he was acting in mischieyous
manner before Warren's grocery store
on New London avenue, when Mrs.
Warren, the wife of the proprietor,
came out and attempted 10 expostulate
with him. Without hesitation he began
TO assault her in fierce manner, notwith-
standing the disparity in their ages. He
was arrested after pretty eifectually
accomplishing the designation of the
features of his fair antagonist and carried
to Jail, where he now languishes in de
fault of bail.
The laborers on the new Caskey build
ing in town have struck for an advance in
pay. This is tho third attempt, two others
of which have been successful, but the
contractor for the brick work, Mr.. Nc
Cormicl, positively declares that he will
allow no further increase, as they are now
receiving $2 per day, which he considers
quite sufficient. A new force has been
engaged and they will probably be put to
work tomorrow, although no trouble is
anticipated. The unfortunate contractor
has the entire sympathy Of the town and
has lost much valuable time in conse-
quence of the strike,
