Hattie Paige was ended by decree in

transportation and under this libel the
boat was sold by Marshal McMullen to

The Graduating ESSAYS of Misses
Chester and IHearne.
Special Correspondence of Gazette and journal
NEWARK, June 17.-Following are alb
stracts of the essays of two members of
the graduating class Mt Delaware College,
not included in yesterdays report:
The valedictorian, Grace ID. Chester
treated of 1.-The Work of Pasteur." In
the Imperial Republic to-day lives man
who has saved the industries of his people
from ruin. The day of science as myth
has passed. When the microscope was
invented, new era was opened to the
cause of science. Grand treatises on the
germs of life, contained in minute parti-
cles of dust, flowed from his master hand;
the result of long and laborious expert
ments. The time for Pasteur to become
public benefactor had arrived. In the
south of France we see the region alive
with the industry of raising silk worms.
What if n pestilence should overtake them?
Lo it has come and no remedy will stay
the spreading pestilence. Dumas sent to
Pasteur this message; Find the cause
and restore your country's reverses." He
threw himself into the solution of this
problem with the zeal of one ever ready
10 hSSlAt HIS lellOMbs fiNS lOnB ythiS
found him at his task before it was
accomplished and millions saved to the
government. Did genius bring him this
success "Genius is eternal patience"
We see that it is the study of the "Infnite
little" that has brought Pasteur to this
great hight Miss Chester made a grace
full farewell to the trustees, faculty and
friends of Delaware College.
The subject of Lizzie Lee Hearne's
essay was "Unwritten Heroism." The
noblest work has been done by people
whose names have never been recorded.
The history of every generals life has
been written and the strain runs through
their families for generations, yet few of
the soldiers command more than casual
notice. The nurses in the hospitals show
true courage in their duties and real
heroism. Heroism is more than mere
fearlessness it is the resolute unselish
fulfllment of duty. Such duty kept the
Roman sentinel at his post at the gate OF
Pompeii when the dust, ashes and liquid
lava poured over him to destruction. This
hero's name is unwritten in history. II
is not the crown and courtly attendants
who make lady heroine, but graces Of
the heart and goodly deeds that will give
the diadem of herosm.

MILFORD, June lS.-Mr. Anderson of

The mill of Messrs. Davis & Cain,
located near Lincoln, was started yester-
day after close-down of several weeks,
during which it underwent extensive
repairs. II has been remodeled to a full
roller-process mill of 25 barrels capacity
by the Stilwell Bierce Manufacturing
Company of Dayton, Ohio, using the
Odell rolls. This will meet long felt
want in this neik hborhood; mill to give
to our community as good flour as is
made by our city cousins, and equal to
any mill of larger capacity. This same
company is putting two rolls, purifier
and centrifugal, in the mill of p. F..

Every Evening of yesterday.
The trustees of the poor met at the
almshouse at Hare's Corner this morning,
President Bird in the chair. Mr.. Lackey
was among the absentees, he being in
attendance upon the funeral of Adolphus
Husbands, q deceased member of the
board.

years; Thomas Perry, colored, "a years:
John Lynn, 80 years and colored child
all of Wilmington.
Upon resolution of Mr.. Williams the
superintendent was instructed to adver-
tise for proposals to furnish supplies to
the institution from July Both to October
26th inclusive. II was decided to have
the superintendent prepare samples and
state quantities of such supplies as are

preferable to having the bidders furnish
samples and much confusion avoided.
The contract for covering the coal pits
was awarded to j. Frank Curry.
On motion of Mr.. Moody, Richard
Morris was elected chief engineer of the
buildings at n salary of 81 900 per year.

gested that the assistant matron give her
entire attention TO the insane women and
confine herself with them all day. The
physicians were requested to prepare n
set of rules defining the duties of the at
PENDANTS, matron and assistant.
The supply committee was instructed
to advertise for proposals to supply the
almshouse with coal from September LIST
until March LIST inclusive to be delivered
on the siding Mt nlmshouse. The bids are
to be opened July 25th. It is estimated
that about 1000 tons will be required.
The following resolution was presented
by Mr.. Hart and unanimously adopted by
the board:
Resolred, That it is with great surprise
and deep sorrow the board has learned OF
the sudden death of one of its valued MEM
bers, Adolphus Husbands, and although
| from the shortness of notice the board is
unable to attend the funeral in a body yet II
renders TO his family its coincidence and

MIR. Husbands in all his public life had en-
deared himself to his associates and the

Separation OF Twenty-Five Years,
Twenty-Five years ago William and
Sarah Aberneathy of Philadelphia, then
about five years old, were orphaned and
went to live in different parts of the
country. ~
Being very young, each easily failed to
remember where the other had gone, and
as years rolled by they changed their resi-
dences frequently. As they grew older,
they had a desire to meet again, but
neither knew where to find the other.
Both advertised frequently, but this
did no good until about week ago when
the brother, who CHANGED to be in this
city In search of employment, advertised
In the Wilmington papers for his missing
sister. The latter saw the advertisements
and sent her address to her brother. He
called and recognized her at once, because
Of h'r resemblance to her dead mother.
She received him kindly but, in order to
make sure that he is her brother, deter
mined to wait until ali aunt in Philadel-
phia recognizes him before she receives
him as such.
The meeting between brother and sister
occurred on Monday of last week. After
remaining here several days the former
went to Philadelphia to look for work.
The sister is the wife of Albert Il. Buzine

phia RailrOads
Special Correspondence of Gazette AMI journal
NEWARK, June 23.-Much progress is
being made in the construction OF the b.
x P. railroad out here. In the first place
the entire road from Wilmington to this
town has been heavily stone ballasted and
is as substantial and smooth as could be
desired for q new road. The large iron
truss bridge crossing the Newark 4
Pomeroy railroad just above town is
practically completed and work will soon
be commenced on the adjoining bridge,
which crosses the public road
leading to the Dean Woollen Company's
mills and the paper mill of Curtis Il
Brother. This latter bridge is a continu-
alton of the truss structure over the rail
road, but will be supported by girders
upon stone foundations. This will make
u handsome bridge when completed and
will be about $50 feet long. The founda-
ton piers are particularly fine and sub
stantial, being rather an ornament than an
eyesore to the community. Construction
trains are continually running through
town out towards the Elk river bridge,
which will not be completed for several
months yet. This bridge is about 81
miles southwest from here, near Bald
wins cotton mills. 1t is understood that
everything is dependent upon the COM
pletion of this bridge, as large portion
of the grading is done on the south side
of it and ready for the ties, rails
and ballast, which materials are
supplied only by train. Half dozen
combination cars, serving us boarding
houses for large force of rough looking
track ballasters, are standing upon side
track in the town limits and opposite the
Deer Park Hotel. Besides being objec-
tionable to the neighbors they frequently
brighten horses and should be removed
by order of the town commissioners ii
they are not too busy.
