How the Day Was Celebrated.

Owing to the Fourth of July this year
falling on Sunday, its observance was nee
essarily delayed to the following day. On
Monday therefore, the National Bank, pub
lie offices, and stores were closed. This
with the absence of many people from the
street caused by the intense heat gave the
business portion of the town a Sunday as
pect. Owing to the publication of notice
by the town commissioners that the town
ordinance prohibiting the firing of shooting
crackers, firearms, etc, there very
little of the usual racket from this cause
during the lay, and not a great deal at
night.
Several yachting parties went down
Elk river during the day. \ large party of
young people chartered the schooner Edith
w. Scott, and also secured Il tug to tow her
down the river to good sailing water. Ow-
ing to the breeze being rather light the ser
vices of the ting were found necessary dur
ing the entire day. The schooner was
towcd to Tolches:er, where after spending
a couple of hours the party started on the
return trip.
A game of base ball was played on the
depot lot in the :nornng between two picked
mines of ElktOn young men. The score At
the end of the ninth inning was 20 to II
There some good playing shown and
considerable poor. The Elkton Base Ba
nine in the afternoon visited Baldwin 5
Mills, or as the postal authorities have
dubbed it, "Bank." The Elkton boys had a
''picnic" in the mill nine and showed them
under by a score of - to 10.
The colored band accompanied by good
proportion of the colored population went
to Newark on the eleven o'clock train tC
attend a joliiicatiou. Some few returned
on the evening train, but the mass remained
until midnight.

struck her several times on the face and
body, black spot under one of her eyes

timouy to the truth of this. He choked
her, bit one of her arms and raised IA
large lump on her forehead. Jones also
tore her clothing badly and swore at her
b al beat her. she testified, but it was IA
hard pill for her to appear against Jack.
She had kept her place and done the
right thing by him. He had swore he
would kill her. She liked Jack and
didn't hold any grudge against him.
Jones protessed to be pen:tent and
He knew he was crazy at the time and
would not do it any more. The magis-
trate told him he could swear off later,
and held him in 500 bail to appear at
the September term of court. This was
surprise to Jones as he had bid the
prisoners good-by, and evidently ex-
pected to be released. His father went
his bail for the amount in the afternoon.
Jones, it will be remembered, had suit
against the p. w. Il B. Railroad Com
pany for the killing of his only child at
Red Mill crossing. The case was COM
promised and Jones received $1,000 but
little over week ago. He has been
spending some of the money for pear
cider. After his release he went before
Magistrate Scott and swore that he would
not touch, taste or handle spurious liquor
for the period of two years.

Effects of Pear Cider.

Last Saturday was field day for pear
cider i'll Elkton, and at night Bailiff King
had as much as he could attend to in
making arrests. Henry Bell aftel giving
his usual exhibition ON Main street with
his docile horse and treating the faithful
animal in a brutal manner approached
the residence of George w. Cruikshank
ESD. He entered that gentleman's
premises by tearing down some of the
fence aud then proceeded into his kit
chen. Mr.. Cruikshank was out of town
at the time, and the ladies and children
of the family were consequently greatly
alarmed. Bailitf King was sent for but
before he arrived the Rev. VIM. Schouler
who happened to be in the neighborhood
led the intoxicated man from the house
and to his home. The bailiff arrested
Bell that night, but he was released by
the order of some one on the following
day when it is said he again behaved in
an outrageous manner. He was arranged
before Magistrate Scott on Monday morn
ling. Mr.. Cruikshank was present to
push the case. Bell however pleaded off
and promised to do better. Mr.. Cruik
shank consented to hold the charge in
allegiance and stated that he will prose-
cute it if the accused did not mend his
conduct. Bell was fined s., ,45 including
costs for drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct.
On Saturday night Joseph Shippers and
the rear of the stores in the Hollow, in
the neighborhood of the stables formerly
used by Singerlys teams. They had

Polk had one of his legs broken not far
above the ankle. They were both taken
to Jail. Polk was released the next day
was given hearing before Magistrate
Scott and fined 81 and costs, amounting
to 81, 60, for drunkenness and diSordelly ly
conduct. Later at night Joseph Shippers
the young colored man who was badly
cut some weeks ago by razor in the
hands of Monkey" Freeman, with some
other colored lads, raised rumpus i'll
the pear cider saloon of a colored indi-
vidual named John Green, alias Lazy
John. The proprietor claims that his
bottles were broken and himself run out
of the establishment. Shippers was the
only one of the party secured by the
balitf. For his share in the matter
he was fined $4,60, including costs, by
the magistrate. Joe and his friends
made up the amount and he was soon on
his way to Newark to attend the Fourth
of July celebration at that place.
Charles Bryan, a colored lad of about
II years, called on the bailitf on Sunday
to get him 10 arrest one Bob Parker who
he alleged at put his fist forcibly in con-
duct with his (Bryan'S) eye. \ warrant
was issued for the arrest of Parker.

PERRYvILLE, July s, 1886.
Last Sunday, July 4th, was truly a
day spent by our town people in service
of the Lord, the day having been set
apart for Children's Day at the NJ. Z.
church. Services began at . o'clock a.
M, Mr.. Alexander Craig superintendent,
officiating. The church was handsomely
decorated with natural flowers and ever
greens. There was singing by the choir
and addresses by Mr.. VIM. Shinn and
Rev. VIM. Tompknson, the pastor in
charge, and Presiding Elder HILL The
closing musical selection was sung by
Mr.. n. Lackland's class of II little girls.
The selection was called "God be With
You, and was well rendered, rejecting
great credit upon their teacher. There
was also services in the evening with
an additional address by Mr.. VIM. ii.
Cole, when Mr.. Lackland's class again
sang their selection by request, the
whole affair was very nicely conducted
with satisfaction to all. The school num-
bers over seventy scholars who appear to
take more interest in the school than ever
before.
We have now two Sunday schools in
our town, and the Presbyterians will o.
ganiZe another next Sunday.
After our jubilee on last Sunday morn
ing we had an able sermon by Presiding
Elder Hill at 3 o'clock. The Rev. Mr..
Conway preached in the new Presby-
terian church at 4.30 o'clock. The Epis-
copalians held their Sunday school in the
oinia Guild room at 80 o'clock. You
can readily see the day was well spent.
Monday was celebrated as Indepen-
dence day. All was quiet, and there was
nothing worthy of note going on.
Our new coal wharf makes a good
landing for excursion steamers.
The excursionists come here by the
cars from Wilmington and take the
steamer Louise for the popular resort at
Colchester Beach. These excursions are
well patronized, there being as many as
three trains loaded with passengers in
some of them.
Our town is still improving.
