NEWABK AoADEMY.
Returning 10 lts Old PoIicy-Fhe
Principal and EHis STAFF.

Special correspondenceo Of Gazette and journal
NEWARK, Sept. 23.-The Academy Of
Newark has opened its fall term under
the management of DIR. Albert N. Raub,
late principal of the state normal school
at Lock Haven, Pa, who will supersede
the former principal, the Rev. ]. L. Polk,
who has accepted a call to Presbyterian
church in the above named state.
1t has been apparent to the board Of
trustees of the academy for some time that
a change of administration was indispen-
| sable to its future success, inasmueh as
the institution had necessarily deterior-
ated, owing to the regular admission of
mere infants during Mr.. Polk's incum-
beney.
This was in direct violation of an old
custom of the school, which had formally
enjoyed its revenue and prosperity from
the tuition and education Of older ana
advanced scholars. As your correspon-
dent has had occasion to state
before, the trustees have recognized
the incompatibility of the co-edu-
cation Of infants and young ladies'
and gentlemen. The trustees thought
at one time of fixing an age limit but it
was considered impructicable and the dis
cretionary power in the matter was con-
ferred on DIR. Raub in whom the board
has the greatest confidence. This it is
hoped will effectuRlly remove the existing
evil and eventually bring to the oldest
institution of learning insthe State a de-
served prosperity.
DR.. Raub is assisted by his son, Prof.
II. L. Raub, an experienced teacher from
the normal schools of Pennsylyania.
Miss Gertrude nj. Bridpman will also
assist in the primary department and Miss
Georgia Benson, who needs no recon-

COWHIDED IN COURT.
A Wealthy DeIawaroan Set Upon la
the Midst of n Lawsuit.

'hhhhN'tl'hih iNSo Sl'Nths
FGEDEIuoA, Sept 2G.--Paris 4. Carlisle,
n wealthy, middle-aged, business man of
collegiate education, known and respected
all over the State, was cowhided to-day
by Captain Jonathan Sipple and Thomas
D. Barton. The affair resulted inime-
diately from petty lawsuit for the price
of n squirrel cage, bought by Sipple of
Carlisle's son.
The scheme to thrash Carlisle was con
cocted several days ago. Sipple and
Burton drove 40 miles yesterday to get
weapons just to their taste. The
trial went on to-day at Justice
Henderson's Office, and in tho midst of it
Sipple and Burton suddenly jumped to
their feet, cowhides in hand, and before
anyone could interfere inflicted ut least n
score of savage blows upon Mr.. Carlisle's
face. Papis Carlisle, Jr., the son, tried
to interfere but was prevented by the
crowd. Mr.. Carlisle defended himself as
best he could, and struck his assailants
several times, but before they were
stopped his face WINS scanned with gashes
and streaming with blood.
Mr.. Carlisle will enter suit ut the Octo-
ber term of court for heavy damages, and
he says he will fight his assnilnnts in court
no matter what tho pecuniary loss is.
No arrests have yet been made. Messrs.
Sipple and Burton are walking the streets
boasting of the disgraoeful affair.

oARoLIsE's TICKET.
Something About the Candidates
and the CoIored VOTERS.


A Caroline county, Nd, I man writei
the GAZETTE as follows regarding the
ticket named by the Republicans of that
county:
The ticket is strong one provided
no internal troubles assail it. Mr..
Stevens, the nominee of clerk, is a
merchant of Potter's Landing in the
Third district, the son of very respect
able and well-to-do farmer; brother of
William Stevens; ex-socretary and treas
urer of the county school board ex-clerk
and ex-treasurer to the county commits
sioners, and son-in-law of A. j. Willis,
who is one of the wealthiest citizens of
the county, und reputes to be very liberal
in county politics. With all this prestige
at his back, Mr.. Stevens is also clever,
industrious and generally popular and
his nomination means stubborn fight
against Clerk Gadd.
Andrew b. Roe hns served term of
four years as state senator and having
earned the reputation of being good
member of the senate he will carry the
full vote of his party.
OF the nominees for the house Of dele
gates, Mr.. Green was a member of the
house four years ago and Captain Wright
of Wheeler's transportation line, is new
man. He is clever young man of about
~ years of age, who has worked his way
up from before the mast of q Choptank
schooner to captaincy on Wheeler's
best steamer. He is popular where known.
Frank Towns, candidate for treasurer,
whose younger brother is the Democratic
candidate for the same Office, is son-in-
law of ex-senator Carey, one of the nes-
tors of Caroline politics. He will make
a fair run.
John IL. Stack, nominated for register
of wills, is an ex-merchant of Federals-
burg, and of fair business capacity and
some financial ability. L. b. Curry, for
sheriff, is the sharpest worker on the
ticket and fully expectsto curry his oppo-
nent. Messrs. Edgell and Hobbs are
about equal to the average county COM
missioner and Mr.. Ernst is represented as
probably the best man ON the ticket.
A glance will satisfy the observer that
the elements are mixed in such way as
to make stubborn fight, with the usual
Eastern Shore equipments. Col. Willis
and Mr.. Carey are complimented with the
best places in the persons of their sons
in-law and, with these gentlemen deeply
interested, the Democrats may take warn
ing at once that the contest will be sharp.
The colored men, who poll large
majority of the Republican vote, made
some demonstrations of their dissatisfac-
tion at not receiving proper recognition,
but it is not probable that they will fail
to vote the regulation ticket, though with
some threatening of future Independence.
