The train stopped and backed to where
he lay and brought him to the depot.
The news spread rapidly and hundreds
of people gathered to see the unfortunate
man whose life was SO suddenly ended.

Edmund D. OleaYer Deal.

The sad intelligence was received here
on Wednesday that Edmund d. Clray.r,
teller Of the Delaware City Rational
Bank, had committed suicide. Finan-
cial trouble, it is said, weighed 80 heavily

About 0 o'clock Wednesday mlrna,

Think 1t Useless.

a. think it all nonsense" said one,and
another, at will put the town in debt
and no one will want to come here TO
live with such high tax rate" Town
Council expected this. The choice was
left with the people and the majority of
them wanted water. They knew they
could not live always, and that it would
be far more attractive with a good sys-
tenn of water than without. The great
trouble with some is "what will be TO
pay?" This is worrying them more than
anything else. People who think water
in town unnecessary are few. While
one thinks this there are hundreds who
care nothing for town that has no wa
ter. If you are contented to live the re-
mainder of your life in Newark, you
must know that the town must grow.
She gets older but improves. There is
many town that dies of stagnation.
People who live in these sleepy places
are contented. The enterprising and en-
ergctic people are not there. These con-
tented people, when they die, the town
either dies or else some active spirit en-
tiers the sleepy place and there is a
change. Now this is almost the condi-
ton of Newark. The quiet people are
contented while the restless are pushing
things forward. They want to beautify
the town to make it attractive. They
are not counting the nickels, but putting
in improvements that future generations
will enjoy and bless them. Newark to-
day is not the town she was several
months ago, nor will she ever be again.
She is going ahead. Enterprising citi-
zens are glad to know it. 1t is useless
to mourn about what you will have tc
pay. Enter into the enterprise and take
water. If you once get it into your
own house you will turn up your nose
at the pumps and turn on the hydrant
1t is all 80.

Lecture By Mrs. Harper.

The Women's Christian Temperance
Union, No. ., of Newark, were favored on
Tuesday evening of this week with an
interesting lecture by Mrs. Francis lIar-
per, National Superintendent of work
among the colored people.
After religious exercises conducted by
the Rev. Messrs. Guy and Broadway, Mrs
Harper was introduced and commenced
her address with IL thrilling description
of the selfdefeated army, whose recruits
have been furnished from almost every
family in the civilized world. After
general presentation of the evils of in
temperance, Mrs. Harper spoke with
great tenderness and effect to the people
of her own color in regard to their duty
and interest in this cause. She touched
with eloquence and beauty, by incident
and anecdote, the work of conservation
of the women and the education of the
children and youth, making stir
ring appeal to those more highly favored
by race and circumstances, reminding
them that unto whom much is given
much will be required;" and if those
whose privileges have not been so great
do not carry ON their work so effectively,
we must not reverse the Scriptural ORDER
and expect to whom little is given from
them much will be required. Mrs. Har-
per naively suggested that the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, a world
wide organization, is only fifteen years
old, and, if it has taken nineteen centur-
les of Christian civilization to produce
such working force among the white
and more cultivated races, ought we not
to be charitable in our judgments us to
the success of the works among the col
ored people?
After the lecture Mrs. Harper recited
two of her own poems, one entitled,
Glove the Boys" and another, sit Is
