On December Gath last, decision was
made by the second controller of the cur
rency that all the soldiers who bad volun-
teered to enlist in the military service of
the United States prior to July 22d, 1861,
and were mustered in on or before August
9Th, same year, and subsequently dis
charged for promotion, were entitled to q
bounty of 300 authorized by act of Con-
gress of April 22d, 1872. Captain William
H. Brady of this city, seeing this an
nouncement in the press, and knowing
thut number of Delaware soldiers came
within the purview of the decision, wrote
to Acting Controller Richard II. McMahon
to know if the published report of the de.
cision was correct. He received prompt
reply in the affirmative. With accumu-
lated interest, the bounty now amounts to
nearly 5000, and number of old soldiers
who are duly entitled will take steps to
secure their claims.

ANOTHER RICHMOND.

New York World srecial
DOVER, DEL, Jan. 6.-The article in
the North american Re0ieD for january,
by "Arthur Richmond" attacking Secre-
tary Bayard in such scathing terms and
which has excited such unusual attention
throughout the country, was particularly
of great interest to the people of Della
ware. Tie Republican papers of the
State have copied the article in full and
there has been great demand for the
papers. There is, of course great Curl
osity to know who the Arthur Richmond
is, Some attribute it TO one and some to
another.
1t can be very reliably stated, however,
though not half dozen persons in Della
ware knew it, that DR.. Thomas @. Frame
of Wyoming, small village three miles
south of Dover, is the Arthur Richmond,
now so well-known to fame. DIR. Frame,
though never extensively engaged in
newspaper writing, is well-edueated
man, son of Robert Frame, prominent
lawyer of this town during the days of
John NJ. Clayton. He has spent much
time time in travelling abroad and is we'll
to-do. About the time Mr.. Bayard was
placed at the head of the state depart
ment DIR. Frame concluded that he would
like to be consul to Leith, in Scot
land. He was strongly backed by promi-
nent party men in Delaware, including
the members of the Legislature, secretary
of the Democratic Committee Kenny and
others. Armed with bushel of letters,
the doctor made a pilgrimage to the
National Capital and poured the docu-
ments upon the seeret0ry's table. But
from that day to this the application has
been treated with contempt. The doctor
has now taken out his revenge by this
severe and well-written 'phillipic" treat
ing of the life and public services of
Cleveland's Premier. While the article
has been universally read, it is hardly
necessary to say that large body of the
Delawure Democracy don't share the feel
ings expressed in the letter.

Reply to "renth Census"

New York Evening Post
The Tribune makes a last desperate
attemp to bolster up Mr.. Allen Thorndike
Rice's ridiculous article about Delaware
in the North american Re0iei0 by pub
fishing promptly on its editorial page n
letter which, although signed "renth
Census,n and ostensibly dated Mt Bangor,
irresistibly reminds one, by its general
inaccuracy, of the style adopted by u
citizen of Augusta in writing history.
The Iafbune's correspondent assumes
that the Egening Post sis endeavoring
to show that Delaware cast larger vote
in proportion to population than Maine."
We have never said anything about pro-
portion of votes TO population, because the
only proper basis for comparison is the
proportion of votes to males of the voting
age. The correspondent also assumes that
the EUeninq Post used the vote cast by
Maine for President in November, 1884, ,
instead of the vote cast for governor in
| the preceding September, whereas we
were particular TO use the latter because
| it is always the largest vote of the year.
| The correspondent invites comparison
| OF the votes in the two states i'll 1880, and
| figures il out that the ratio of votes to
population (Which latter, by the way, he
gives incorrectly for each state), was
very nearly 23 per cent in Maine
and almost exactly 20 per cent
in Delaware, whereupon he con
cludes that Delaware ought to have
cast 4, 400 more votes than she did, and
that these 1000 missing votes were sup
pressed by fraud The truth is that il
June, 1880, the census showed in Main'
1877 1923 males above 21 years of age, anc
147,S4 of them Ivoted in the September
election of that year, being 7S9 out o
every l 900, while in Delaware the censu
showed 3S,29S adult males, of WHOM
29, ,528 (not 29,40S, as Tenth Census
puts it, went to the polls
being III out of every 1000
Anybody who remembers the exciting
character of the gubernatorial canvass il
Maine early in the canvass of 1880, AM
the comparative lnck of interest in th
Delaware election after a Republican vic
tory in Indiana had foreshadowed Gai
fields election, will not be taken in b
, any claim that the very slight ditferenc
, in fuilness of vote between Maine an
Delaware is evidence of fraud in the la
} ter state. These "testimonials" are yer
! cruel to Mr. Rice. .-

4 LITTLE nor BuRNRp.
A Fire ON SansOm street Near Sew
enth This Morning.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-THE upper por-
tion of the building, No. 715 SAMSON
street and the roofs of the two structures
upon each side were destroyed by fire
shortly after Z o'clock this morning,
Willie Harding, aged A years, perished in
the flames.
The Harding family, consisting of Mr..
Harding, his wife and three children, a
girl aged eight years Willie, aged four
and an infant, occupied the attic of 715
and also small room on the first floor
back for cooking purposes.
About o'clock e. II. Hushman, who
works in an eating house adjoining the
burned building, heard Mrs. Harding
shrieling for some one to save her child
and calling fire. Hushman rushed into
the burning attic, but after searching in
vain for the little one returned to the
street, the mother and her two other
children having been given shelter by the
eating house proprietors. When the fire
had been put out the body of Willie,
burned to a crisp, was found lying upon
the attic floor. Mrs. Harding can give
no account of how the flames started in
her apartment, as there was no fire in the
stove. Her husband left for his work in
North Penn Village about an hour before
the fire started. The body of the burned
child was removed TO an adjoining house
TO await the coroner's action.
No. 715 is occupied on the first floor by
M. Murphy, book manufacturer, and
Thomas Boyle, broker the second
floor by Miller & Sharkey, detectives, L.
Raymond, sign painter, and several law
yers, and the third floor by George ID.
Hammar, die sinker and engraver, and
Thomas L. Davis in the same business.
All the tenants suffered losses principally
by water, as did also the occupants of
Nos. 713 and III, among whom are Mag
istrate Robert r. Smith. The burned
building is owned by the Harlan estate
and is fully insured. The total loss will
amount to about $4,000.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
A Butcher in Cecil County Seized
by Masked Npen and S67 Taken.

by IN asked nRen and S67 Taken.
PoRT DEPOSIT, Nd, Jan. THE num-
ber of depredations and robheries recently
committed in this county was augmented
this morning by another, more bold and
daring if possible than any preceding. As
Henry j. johnson, butcher, residing at
a short distance east of Port Deposit, was
on his way to town with his supply of
fresh meats, between 5 and o'clock this
morning, he was attacked by three
masked men, who were concealed in a
lane which leads TO Widow Smithon's
farm. One of the party grabbed the
horse, and the other two sprang in the
wagon front and attacked Mr.. johnson.
He was seized by the throat and choked
back over the seat by one, while the other
riAed his pockets, securing his pocket
book containing $67. He told his con-
federate not to hurt him as he had the
money. Then they put to their heels in
the direction of Snithon's woods and
made good their escape.
Mr.. johnson attempted TO pursue Il EN-
with his team and raise an alarm. Whlie
endeaYoring to turn his horse he dis
covered that both lines had been cut of
near the bit. The time lost in adjusting
them enabled the highwaymen TO escape.
The robbery was committed but a short
distance from Mr.. Johnson's own home
and in sight of three other residences.
Mr.. johnson had put the money in his
pocket this morning to meet an obligation
at the bank, and an exclamation of his
assailant, Il have it," verifies the belief
that the parties are familiar with Mr.
Johnson's affairs and knew that the bool
contained money. Mr.. johnson coult
not recognize any of his assailants owing
to their being masked.
He was considerably scared about th'
face and his clothing was torn in thescuf
file. So far no arrests have been made
nor is there any clue to their identity
These depredations have become so fire
quent recently that should the marauder
be captured they will doubtless be sum
marily dealt with.

sui, Araln., a RAILROAD.

KANSAS CIrY, No., Jan. 8.-A suit has
been brought in the superior court at
Topeka, Kansas, by stockholder repre-
senting ], 400 shares of stock against the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, and
its directors, asking for q receiver for the
company, and an injunction restraining
from further prosecution of its railroad
schemes in New Mexico, Arizona, Old
Mexico and California or engaging in
others. The hearing will be had January
26th. The bill alleges that large amounts
of stock nre unauthorized and issued ille-
gally, and asks that it be cancelled.

Wilmington EnterprIse.

The Walton Il Whann Company of this
city, for the sum of $156,O00, has se-
cured the controlling interest in the
Etiwan Phosphote. Company, whose
works are located on Town creek, in
South Carolina. The Etiwan Companyis
one of the Oldest phosphate companies in
the south. For the whole of the stock of
the concern rs cents on the dollar were
offered, but all of the stock could not be
obtained, and the controlling interest
was secured at par. The Walton &
Whann Company having increased its
capital, had for several months been look
ing around the city for site on which to
erect q branch of their Wilmington
works. There was no intention
of giving mp the business
here, but simply to enlarge it. A site
was selected in the vicinity of Charleston
and authority to construct railway to
be called the Clements Ferry railroad,
was obtained, but that work will not now
be necessary since the Etiwan mills are
already connected with the railroads.
After the site near Charleston was selected
the Walton Il Whann Company con-
cluded TINT it would be cheaper and
wiser to take ground already occupied by
a similar business and a company already
in operation than to start in q new place
on their own account. Consequently the
former scheme was abandoned and the
controlling interest in the Etiwan Com
pany secured.
