DIR. Il. J. Smither's residence, in Eas-
ton, was found TO be on fire Monday
evening. The fire was in the billiard
room in the thirG story, and ''as caused
by the stump of u cigar beins thrown
into a wooden spittOOn containing
sawdust. The fire was extinguished
with buckets. Damage about 500 to
the floor and furniture. DIR. s., is Il

The water was turned on at the Eas-
ton water-wOrks at Z o'clock Saturday

engine. Everything worked well.

AN announcement was made last
week that the Young Mems Republi-
cans Club of Wilmington and kindred
organizations in several of the Hun
dreds intended to put county ticket
for New Castle county in the field.
The old executive committee of the
county had previously announced their
opposition to any ticket this year, but
as their time expires next Saturday it
is possible that the new committee to
be chosen in their place may be of a
different mind The announcement
above noted however seems to have
fallen fat, because no paper or political
writer, has endorsed the movement.
The Republicans cannot play fast and
lose in this way; the Republican party,
rs an organization through its execu-
tive committee stepped down and out
of this campaign, but such of its mem
bers as really favor reform have an
opportunity to give expression to their
sentiments through the ticket of the
Temperance Reform party.

ALL public speakers and politicians
are virtuous when they appear before
the public for endorsement. Whether
because its side got licked" or not in
the late city primaries, we are glad to
see the DeIoUarean raise the cry for
better primary elections, though not
going half way in the election reforms
needed. 1t says;
" AT the next session of the Legisla-
ture, it is to be hoped that the General
Assembly will pass stringent laws regu-
lating primary elections in this State.
The late nominating election for Sheriff
and Coroner in the city of Wilmington
was a stencil in the nOstrils of all de-
cent citizens, and the action of the
County Central Committee of New
Castle county refusing the presence of
any one to be present at the late count
in the primary is equally disgraceful.
1t is a Well-knOWn fact that in a full
party vote there are not more than
5000 Democratic voters in Wilmington
city, yet the judges returned at the late
primaries held to select candidates for
the legislature, returned a poll of over
600. Primary elections in the city of
Wilmington have become farcical in
the extreme, and if something is not
done to check the fraud and debauch-
cry, the Democratic party will go under
as sure as night follows day. Decent
Democrats will not stand such work,
and ought not, and the matter had bet
ter be remedied in time. There is q
time when forbearance ceases to be a
virtue, and from all reports received
from New Castle, that time has nearly
arriYed.n

leave for parts unknown.
Mr.. Kronenburg also came from
Philadelphia, taking the proprietorship
OF Woodland Beach hotel the begin
ming of 1885. He likewise slipped away
last week taking his most valuable
property with him, leaving very little
for the sheriff to make any thing out of
for his creditors. The latter gentleman
thought he knew how to keep hotel.

be didn't, and the sequal proved their
Judgment correct But what interests
large number of creditors most is un-

Temperance and Reform Meeting at
the Town Hall

A public Temperance Meeting was
held last evening at the Town Hall.
which was organized by the selection
of q. V. Cooper for chairman and
Aubrey Vandever for Secretary. It
was gotten up on short notice and with.
out any special effort at demonstration.
but was fairly attended and the atten-
tion most respectful and thoughtful.
After an earnest prayer by Rev. John
France, the chairman stated the object
desired to be attained by the Temper
ance Reform Club and the personal in
terest he felt in its success, after which
he introduced Jas. G. Lassell who spoke
with warmth and earnestness in the
success of the temperance cause. He
said he had always been a democrat
and his father before him, and still held
to the governmental principles of the
party, but in the case of the most need
ed reform, the eradication of the rum
traffic with its blight and curse on So
ciety, the party would do nothing nor
listen to the voice of the people through
prayerful petitions, and he was thus
compelled in obedience to the dictates
of his conscience, both as q citizen and
christian to give his adherence to
party that promised that reform that
would not only bless us, but especially
bless the rising generation.
The Rev. J. B. Quigg followed at
greather length, explaining his relation
to the reform measures as q citizen
and a minister, and declaring his readi-
ness if needs be, to do and die in the
effort to eradicate from the land the
greatest curse to the material, spiritual
and social condition of society.
J. " Smith followed in a brief, but
string address, in which he urged par
ents to espouse those principles which
would save their sons and protect their
daughters.
r. M. Cooper, candidate for Congress,
who had come into the meeting while
it was in progress was CALLED for by the
audience, on the conclusion of Mr..
Smiths address. He excused himself,
as the hour was late, from making a
speech as he had already spoken twice
that day-at the Harvest Home, near
Christiana-but did in four or five
minutes address give some striking
figures and ringing sentences. The
meeting then closed with the benedic-
ton.

" Wrong Again.

Under the above heading the Smyrna
Record takes especial pains to convict
the TINES of an error, and so eager was
the editor in his intent, that he goes
over to the miscellaneous items on our
third page and settles on one entirely
disconnected from the editorial and To-
cal articles written in this office for the
paper. The article in question was
copied from a reputable Peninsular
paper as an item of general news, as
applicable to one paper as another, and
we suppose had been prepared correct
ly, probably by an ecclesiastic. The
item in question was in reference to
the General Convention of the PrOtes-
tant Episcopal Church, and the error
over which the editor makes such an
ado is that Cincinnati is named as the
place of meeting instead of Chicago
And the thing is the more ridiculous
on his part because he did not know it
was wrong and would not have known
it, had he not been so informed by Il
layman interested in the Convention.
and prompted the correction as it was
made. We should not have thus refer
ed to it, but for the manifest intent, of
which this is a repetition, to put us in
the category as implied by the heading
to his article, and we now say frankly
that if it is continued, we will meet him
fairly and squarely on his own ground,
and see which can take the score. A
correction thus made is very different
from the little squibs over the "blun-
ders of the types " that are common to
all offices with the best of case, and are
used as the occasions of little numerous
bouts that begin and end in themselves.
And, to give such prominence to a
newspaper error was the more remark
able, because in the same column under
the head of Bribery in Politics." in
the centre of his local page, without
credit or quotation marks, is an article
three-quarters of a column in length
extracted from leading periodical, but
appearing in form and manner as il
written in the sanctum of the Record
Office. We should have made no refer.
ence to it but for the fact that the edi-
tor placed errors under review, and in
the light of editorial authorship, the
hrst we think represents the minimum
and the latter the maximum of iOurna-
listic imprOprieties.

SIGNOR SUCCI, an Italian thinks he
has discovered a long felt want to the
human race in his newly discOved Afri-
can herb liquor, which he says will be
sold cheap so that large family may
subsist for a week on a frances worth
Of the liquor. He has Just finished at
Milan fast of thirty days with nothing
but this elixir to sustain him. This
fast, accounts say, was conducted under
test conditions. Eminent physicians
relieved one another in viguantly OBJ
serving every action of the experiment
ter, and assured themselves that during
the entire period he took nothing but
the small dose of his mysterious elixir
which he relies upon, and a little Vichy
and Hunyadi Yanos mineral water.
This fast was undertaken to prove
the virtues of his African herb liquor,
which he claims to be the most power
full nutriment discovered, and small
quantity of which he asserts will rem
der other food unnecessary for long
periods.
A daily paper thus humOrously takes
off SignOr Succi's elixir:
Heis to revolutiOnize civilization bv
abOlishing the kitchen. Possessed of
the African Herb Elixir the laborer
and the millionaire will stand on equal
terms. A few drops of the Elixir in
the morning will settle the whole uues-
tiOn Ofsubsistence for the day, or possi-
bly, for a week. The gross appetite
which keeps so many good fellows for
hours at the table will disappear, and

THE Morning Neps in discussing the
condition to which politics has des-
ccnded in Delaware through the unres-
trained rule of one party says the nat
ural remedy is to turn out one party
and put in the other, but continues:
upon any other theory the main
tenance of two parties is an utter waste
of time and effort. But the circum-
stances in Delaware to-day are extraOr-
dinary. On the one hand a fatal per-
Centage of the Republican party is dis
franchised through the intentional op-
GRAFTON Of the election laws of the state :;
and on the other hand the Republican
party itself is badly tainted, as a cOnse-
quence of these infamous election laws,
by its former practice Of paying the
taxes of negroes as the price of their
votes. This practise was an attempt
to fight the political devil of fraud with
fire, in accordance with the Jesuitical
priciple that you may do evil in order
that good may come but the Republi-
can party, by employing this weapon
of disguised bribery, have only scorched
themselves, and political fraud is still
triumphant. By reason of these
facts the theoretical remedy for de-
bauched and ruinous political condition
is apparently not within the reach of
of Delaware this year,
As the one party won't and the other
can't, the other remedy of third
party comes up, in regard to which
it says:
$50 far as the main question of polit-
ical honesty and purity is concerned,
there could not be a third party organ
lied in Delaware which would stand
higher or more unimpeachable than
the Temperance Reform party does.
Whatever various theories may require,
therefore, the practical fact remains
that there is but one feasible road out
of the pool of political filth in which
the people of Delaware are wallOwing
to-day

AS the autumnal cunning season
draws nigh, a demand arises for infor-
nation concerning the best ranges of
game, and the waterways most prolific
of fowl. For the purpose of supplying
such demand, the Passenger Depart
ment of the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad Company has
published a work entitled "a Paradise
for Gunners and Anglers" The little
volume is an exhaustive treatise on the
game birds, water fowl, and fishes of
the Maryland, Delaware and Virginia
Peninsulas, their haunts, habits, and
characteristics. An excellent map of
the territory, showing the location of
streams and the means of access, and
handsome illustrations Of the rarer
specimens of birds and fish serve both
to embellish and contribute to the in
terest of the book. Information as to
the game laws, the time when certain
game must abound, the procurement Of
guides, boats, &c, and in fact every
thing which would make the way of
spOrsmen clear, is furnished in ample
detail.
The book is distributed gratuitously
and may be procured by addressing

REV. J. B. QUIGG had for his subject
at the NJ. E. Church, on Sunday even
ing, "The people misled and who is
responsible for it," The sermon was
not of that kind that revealed the sins
of the ages of the past, but rather it ex-
posed the evils of the present time, the
sins of to-day, and with that fearless
ness and directness of the prophet
Nathan to King David" thou art the
man." The discourse was a terrible
arraignment of the debauchery in Della
ware politics and of the politicians and
their methods in our recent primary
elections Not only these, but the
whole scope of the liquor traffic, the
men of national reputation who are in
alliance with it for political purposes,
the evils collectively and individually
and the responsibility that rests on each
voter for the continuance of this source
of vice and misery was set before the
audience as from the glare of calcium
light. 1t was vigorous in thought,
strong in statement and held the closest
attention of the congregation.
