The CITY SOLICITOR.


A Triangular Fight for the ONCE by
Messrs. Turner, Lyman, and vandergrift.
President Farra has called caucus of
the Democratic members of Council for
tomorrow evening to select some one to
NIL the vacancy caused by the elevation
of City Solicitor Ball to the Municipal
judgeship. The candidates to be voted for
then will be Deputy Judge Turner, w.
I. Lyman, Lewis G. Yandergrift, Esqs.
Mr.. Vandergrift is not making an active
canvass for the position. but he
has friends who are doing all they
cantor him. The other two candidate s
are working hard for the position. From
the face of things at present Judge
Turner has the inside track He has
eight members out Of the coveted nine
who viii be for him through thick and
thin. There are said to be FIVE others
who have a decided disposition to vote
for him. To heal Democratic disafTection
it is urged that the election
of Turner is the best that can be done
and the force of this argument will
awe much to do, it is thought, towards
accomplishing the election of Turner.
That among the Catholic Democrats
whom Mr.. Turner is supposed to repre-
sents there is much anger expressed.
there is no doubt, and number Of good
politicians, interested in the success Of
the county ticket, hope for his election
for that reason. One objection urged
against Judge Turner, which
weighed heavily with Governor Biggs.
is his failing sight. This argument is
met with the statement that one Of the
best lawyers in this state, Edward
Ridgely, Esq, Of Dover has been totally
blind for thirty years The quality Of
Mr.. Ridgelys ability has been felt BY
City Council, for it was he more than
anyone else that secured the passage Of
the Commission bills. Mr.. Turner's
friends further claim for him
that he already has wide
knowledge of the law and all the
sight necessary for him can be supplied
by a good clerk who is to do all his writ
ing
The action of the caucus tomorrow
evening will be ratified ON Thursday
evening and the new solicitor, whoever
he may be, viii at once assume his duties.

handed the gun to his wife 70 clean. 1t
mad been her custom to do this work as
t ier husband wished TO have her become

the man died before the arrival Of the

PURE. AND FILTERED WATER.
The Board of Water Commissioners Making
Arrangements to Secure 1t.

The Board of Water Commissioners
have had for sometime under contempla-
tion some means to procure better water
for the city. With this end in view
they have decided to place a new filter at
the new race adjoining the City Mill
The bad taste of the water in June last
will be remembered, and quite frequently
after rain the water will be impure
There is nothing more dangerous to pub
lie health and more conducive to such
diseases as typhoid fever than impurities
OF the nature that are found in the
average drinking water 1t has been diff
hcult to provide against these impurities,
numerous expedients have been proposed,
but nearly all have Been found worthless
There are, however, several filtering pat
ents that will accomplish this purpose
and the commissioners are investigating
these different methods AS soon as a
decision is arrived at the work will be
very likely commenced. 1t is the inten-
ton to place the filter at the end Of the
south long race and pump the water into
the reservoir from the machine.

Sick List.
By letter to EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del. Oct. 30.-In an alterca
tlon between James Smallwood and John
Dougherty early Sunday morning, the
former was very seriously cut in the face
and head by razor in the hands OF
Dougherty, Dougherty was arrested and
locked up.
Rev. I. E. Terry and the official board
of the M. E Church have decided to
raise the quota of this parish towards
the new ladies' building of the Confer
ence Academy by private subscription in
stead of public church collection.
George Wilmington, the popular host Of
the Capital Hotel is on the sick list, and
has been confined to his room for several
days with bilious attack.
David Wall, whose serious illness from
typhoid fever has been noted in the
JOURNAL was reported no better this
morning.
The setting aside Of the sheriff's sale Of
the Smyrna House in Smyrna by the
court last week, changes John M. Ford 5
plan. He had purchased that tavern and
would have taken personal possession this
week, had the sale been confirmed. As
it is Jefferson and Clayton retain posses
sion of the hotel for the present, and Mr..
Ford will continue to reside in Dover.
The situation politically is Just about
what it has been for weeks. The lines are
still firmly drawn and the anti-unit-rulers
claim to be stronger to-day than they
were at the adjournment of the county
convention. There is not the
least hope of the Wolcott ticket
being elected, and even the Eunit-rule
leaders are beginning to concede this.
The disaffected colored vote which they
hoped to secure will not disaffect.

occasion to score the Republican party on

The Higher Education.

The Rev Dr. Dumbell ard the
Louisville Courier J9urnai are rehAsh-
ing the old arguments against the high
er education Of women. They intimate
that II a woman is permitted TO learn
Latin aud Greek. she will turn into a
man. Or al all events will cease to be q
woman. \ dozen years ago, Col HIg-
ginson wittily exposed the faiiacy which
"confounds the laws Of sex with the laws
OF digestion =
Man aud woman being of different
sexes, says some Psychologist. must OBJ
viously require different intellectual d.
ct. Why so, il they do not need differ
eut physical diet: If we 20 home and
dine with The Psychologist, we find him
politely assisting his wife to soup. and
his daughter to roast mutton. ignoring
the fact OF sex. His own Unbeatable
reiutes his theory; his knife is sharper
than his logic, and his .oints Of mutton
disjoint his argument. Sex is certain
ly as marked in the body as il is any
where. Yet nature shows an essential
identity Of the digestive system in man
and woman. If this is true OF the body.
it would seem to be true of the mind.
10 say, boys study Greek and mathe-
maiics. therefore girls, being different,
should not, is as if you said, boys eat
beef and potatoes, therefore girls, being
different, must find something else to
eat. ! resist the argument Of the ply
siol0gist. therefore, TIL | see him pro-
hibitiBg his own womaakind from the
dinner they have superintendent, aud
restricting them to the judicious dry
toast and the enlivering teaeup."
