"All through, y replied the visitor, with
a smile.
"Of course you were with Granty" said
our citizen with humorous wink.

ference were greatly shocked and sad
dened on reading in yesterdays BEE a
special telegram announcing the death
of Rev. E. w. Brady, post chaplain of
Fort ID. A. Russell, Wyo. Chaplain Brady
was member of this conference, and
well known to most of its members. He
went out from here about ten years ago,
from near Charlton. For time he was
editor of the Press at Indianola.
As the conference was bling here
1t was a matter of congratulation that
there were no deaths to report, but on the
opening day came the news of the death
of Rev. VIM. r. Douglass, and on the
second day came the death of this second
brother.
Rev. Wm. r. Douglass was born in
North Carolina in 1881 and died on his
farm near Bayard, Guthrie county. he
joined the conference in 1875. and was
sent to the Bear Grove circuit. Since
then he has been at Lewis, Extra, Mis-

Neat Replies.

Pittsburg Dispatch: Andrew Jackson,
it is related, was at one time entertained
at dinner by a gentleman, and among
those present was one of those people
who often find their way INTO story
books, ETC., as the type of that offensive
class of Americans who are always trail
ing their nationality in the dust in the
effort to cXalt their individual indepen-
dence. This particular gentleman, over
the wine and walnuts after dinner, in
order to emphasize his own independence
of disposition, of which he was loudly
boastful. remarked with rare exhibition
of self-complacence to General jackson:
II always voted against you, SIR The
company was naturally rendered speech
less by this unexpected disclosure, and
the scene actually looked squally; but
General Jackson put stopper on the
boastful Individual, ana avoided further
trouble by smilingly remarking: And
l, sir, have always fought the battles of
my country that you might enjoy that
privilege"

is that of an old southern judge-but

A Brisk Encounter.

rather lively set-to occurred Tuesday
afternoon week in the vicinity of Ninth
and Market streets between James Mitchell
contractor, and Theodore +. Crawford.
The disturbance grew out of some discus
sion over water main being shut of and
it is said Mr.. Crawford grew very angry,
pitched his voice to a thrilling key, and
an eye witness says spat upon his small
adversary. The salivio overflow alight-
ing upon Mr.. Mitchell aroused thelatter's
ire and with swinging movement he
sent in a blow on his adversary's neck
which sent his chimney-pot hat rolling
into the street. The two men then
clinchsd and Mr.. Mitchell endeavored tc
dislodge Mr.. Crawford from his feet but
landed his head in chancery and received
several sharp blows. David Lemon ap
peared upon the scene az peace makel
and separated the antagonists.

from "smudge" which had been built tc

down.
A eve sheep owned by Miles Mills Of
Cedar Neck, was found on Monday week
last dead in the sheep pen. 1t had been
literally blcd to death by mosquitoes. Its
udder was heavy with milk and offered the
pest every opportunity to torrlfy tie poor
nHlst, which IN It's agony, wedged Itself In

nasn thicker In years than they wore this
week .--Milfnrd Oh Onicie.
A new crop of mosquitoes, that kind
which arises like n cloud, emerged from
the bay shore marshes three or four days
ago to the dismay Of the inhabitants and
the grent distress Of live stock. One farmer
who lives down the meek" says he never
saw them so thick before. On going out TO
the barn-yarl tho next morning after the
swarm came he found the cattle literally
covered aud running around the enclosure
believing with pain. Tho high cold wind
of yesterday, 1t is presumed, came like a
destroying angel and obllterated the vora-
cious hordes.-Smyrna Times of last lCeek.

Chatting under the UnsatIsERctOr
Confederation Of s65.

confederation OF '65s
HALIFAX, N. S., May 2S.-In an address
just issued by Premier Fielding, the fol-
lowing occurs "In the opinion of the gov
ernment, the time has come when the people
of Noya Scotia should once more make
nm effort to obtain release from the union
into which they were formed. Dissatis-
faction is 30 wide and deep that many are
heard to say that no change could be for
the worse. Some of those who
were the warmest advocates of con-
federation in 1867 are now the most
outspoken in their expressions of hostility
to it. After the failure of the repeal leg
islation of 1862 to accomplish its main
purpose, the people settled down, not very
cheerfully it must be admitted, to make
the best Of the situation. Give the union
a fair trial. said some. It has had long
and more than fair trial, and the verdict
against it is more emphatic than before.
We are assured by the fathers of the con-
federation that the affairs of the Dominion
could be carried on for 90 years or more
ut nm annual cost OF $ll 100000 or
Sl2,OO0.OO0, but the expenditure exceeds
the enormous sum of $35, 900, 900, while
the interest and charges in connection
with the public debt absorb nearly rs
much as we were told would pay the total
expense of the government"

Judge Grubb.
Daily Republican.


When Judge Whiteley died the Repa,J-
lean took a glance over the field to see
where his successor would come from.
Prominent among those we mentioned
was the name of Ignatius @. Grubb, ESQ.,,
in whom we saw possible successful
candidate. We have not been disap-
pointed. Measured by the usual stand
ard, Mr.. Grubb did not possess fully the
requirements of Delaware Judge, but
throwing into the scale in favor of Mr..
Grubb the advanced spirit of the times, a
vivacity that comports we'll with the dig
nifty of the office, respectful bearing and
practice of social etiquette that makes his
company agreeable, and though not per.
haps having the learning and ability of a
Story or Taney, withal a knowledge of
law that compares favorably with the first
of the Democratic bar, we believe Judge
Grubb will make an able and impartial
jurist. We doubt very much if Governor
Stockley could have done better than he
has done in appointing Mr.. Grubb judge,
unless he had gone outside the Demo
cratic party.

"AppoIntcd Upon His uerIts.,,


The appointment of Mr.. Ignatius O..
Grubb as associate judge for the county
of New Castle was foreseen by The Morn
ing Neaos some weeks ago. Practically
Mr.. Grubb has never had competitor
for the place. Two or three names have
been mentioned as those of men to whom
the place might be given, but upon
scrutiny it was easy to see that not one
of these was n real candidate. Almost
every one of them represented some per
sonal grudge, some lurking political re-
sentiment, or some reviving spark of
factional spite. There was nothing in
such material out of which to make
judge. The appointment goes to Mr..
Grubb, therefore, upon his merits. We
shall be surprised if Mr.. Grubb does not
surpass the expectations of his opponents
in his work as q judge. He has a subtle
and acute mind for technicalities, and
this native quality, if it is reinforced by
steady desire to reach equity and Justice
as n result, will without doubt enable him
to make his mark upon the bench.

\ New Warehouse.


The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will, in few days, begin the erection Of
II large flour warehouse at Eighteenth and
Market streets, Philadelphia. The build.
ing will be entirely fire-proof, S5 by 1S0
feet in extent, and five stories in hight.
This structure will be one of the finest of
its kind in the country, and its erection is
likely to give the flour trade of the city a
decided impetus. 1t will enable the COM
pauy to handle 800, 900 barrels of flour
year, and will greatly reduce the ex-
penses of carriage to the flour merchant.
The warehouse is to be leased TO cor
poration, which will be known as the
Merchants Storage Company, a charter
for which has already been applied for.
Nearly every prominent flour dealer In
the city will be stockholder. and enough
stock has already been subscribed TO
insure the success of the enterprise. The
capital stock of the company has been
fixed at $125, 900. The building will cost
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
$3.50, 900, and will be finished by Sep.
tember LIST. 1t is proposed to have two
-four inspectors, appointed by the Com.
mercial Exchange, connected with the
warehouse.
