Special correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE, October 1.-THE hop
given in the Knights of Pythias Hall on
Wednesday evening last was considered
one of the most enjoyable Of the season
so far.
The game of foot ball has become quite
craze with the school boys. 1t is quite
pity that some of the older ones do not
get up foot ball eleven in this place, as
il is quite an exhilerating pastime.
Our main street is the cause Of good
many joltings-up to persons who own
carriages with stiff springs, but it is
supposed that jarring up once in a
while is good for nervousness.
The Davidson Brothers still have about
twelve head of Indian ponies on hand,
although they have disposed of quite a
number of the pretty beasts They viii
remain here several days and then, If
they have not sold out, they will go to
Georgetown, Del, as they wish to close
out on account of their returning to the
West.
A movement is on foot to start cor
respondents club in this city The sew
eral reporters wish to get a room and oe
connected by direct wire with the Viii
mington exchange, so that they can tele-
phone their news without using the ex-
change here at all, as, in all probability
some one would be using the Wilmington
wire Just when it was most needed by
any of the correspondents.
There is unusual interest manifested
here in the trial OF Rogers for killing the
Pole in the recent race riot in Dobbins-
vile. Much sympathy is expressed for
the accused man and his family. which,
it Is understood, looks to him as the
chief means Of support.
The store of J. I. Stoopes, under the
Opera House, when lighted up at night,
materially aids pedestrianism through
the brilliant light which is thrown from
the large show windows. 1t is quite a
convenience as that part of the town is
not very bright generally, At least it has
not been until recently.
With the exception of one case of
typhoid fever-that of Harry Jemison,
who Is rapidly recovering-the town is
in a remarkably healthy condition. And
there is no reason why il should not be,
as all its manufactures are situated
outside of the more thiclxly populated
portion of the town, thus keeping the
with the noxious vspors and gases which
usually emanate from such places. The
river, via the sewers, receives a great
deal Of waste products of the place, and
the air is healthy and has the effect,
especially during such crisp mornings as
we are enjoying at present, of vivifying
the individual and filling him with re-
newsd vigor.
; Grocers speak of business as being
rather good at present; and tradesmen
generally, are remarking on the briskness
of trade. On inqTiring of a gentleman
yesterday afternoon as to what
> he thought the citizens needed, he tersely
replied Chicago beef" Some trnth il
, that statement ii you only knew it.
Miss betty Megear of Smyrna, whit
has been visiting her aunt, Mrs. Alvar
, Allen, returned home yesterday.
Mrs. Henry George (nee Cullen) of VII
mington visited friends here yesterday
William j. Ferris, paying teller Of the
Farmers Bank, is on a short visit to
Newark and Elkton.
