ALL OVER THE PENINSULA
WHY h @. KNOWLES FRIRNDs
ARE NOW MAD.
They ChRrge That He WAS Sold
Out I'm tllc Clerkship FiGht-Hov
His Recommendations Were
POckefed.


Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
Dover, Jan. 3.--ProbRbly the maddest
people around Dover over the organiza-
tion Of the House Of Representatives are
the friends Of Horace Greeley Knowles,
who was defeated in his aspirations for
the clerksbip. They declare that he was
deliberately sold out-slaughtered in the
house of his friends.
Knowles faith was pinned to Charles
e. Maull Of Lewes, and he depended
upon him TO lead his forces, which In
cluded, so he supposed, three votes in
Sussex and three in Kent to start With.
Before the caucus went into session
Knowles gave to Maui all his recommends
tory documents. These comprised letters
from e. G. Bradford, Esq, Joshua.
Marvel and other prominent Republicans,
besides affidavits from the Philadelphia
parties who furnished the last 81 900 of
the Republican corruption fund in Sussex
county, to the effect that Knowles raised
the money among them and was entitled
to the sole credit of the work.
But the Sussex men, il is said, decided
at the last minute to drop Knowles in
favor of Gum, so Msull kept the letters
and affidavits in his pocket and never
even put Knowles in nomination. DR..
Richardson of Kent, one of Knowles
warm friends, insisted on having him put
in nomination, whereupon the Sussex
men, so it is affirmed, said that Knowles
had agreed to draw OF in favor Of Gum
and accept the appointment OF reading
clerk. Then Gum was nominated.
But Knowles never made any such ar
rangement and wosld not accept the ap-
point Of reading clerk.
And this is why his friends are mad OF
what they term the outrageous manner in
| which he was sold out.

There were presented before the courts
OF Delaware county, Pa, at Media, Wednes-
day, GU applications for hotels, about two
thirds of which were were from Chester
city, and OF the number 4S were granted,
six refused and six held under advisenent.
OF the six refused, all we're for new places
with the exception of the petition Of Theo-
dore L. Danfield for license for the
"White Horse" Hotel, In Ridley township.
All the new applications We're for Chester.
He refused license to the "White Horse"
applicant because Of the very strong re-
monetranee presented, and because the
hotel was opposite the public schoclhouse.
Beside nuinerously signed remonstrance
by the citizens OF Ridley against the house,
one was also presented, signed by every MEM
her OF tho Woman's Christian Temperance
Union OF Ridley, and one by minors, young
men and girls between the ages Of IA and
81 years. The case OF James Neeld OF Con-

plication contained ll2 signatures. and the
remonstrance 1854, Of which 1862 were

TWO ALBANY MURDERS.

NOT Above ReprOaGLh.


ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 3.-There were
two murders in this oity last night. At 8
O'Clock George Dillon shot Mrs. Lottie
Lyons in the left temple killing her. She
had been his mistress up TO last Septem-
ber when he left her. Recently he be-
came Jealous upon hearing of her rela-
tions with other men, and last night he
quietly entered her apartments and with
out warning shot her while she was wash
ing dishes. Her young son was attracted
by the noise, and Dillon threatened to
kill him, chasing him into the street. He
was unable to catch him, and returned
to the room and shot himself in the ear.
His skull was fractured but he will live.
At II O'Clock Alice Fletcher, depraved
woman, was found dead in her room in a
low dive. An examination revealed a
bullet hole in her breast, death being due
to internal hemorrhage. She was un-
doubtedly murdered by her lover, an un-
known italian, who recently came from

oHARTER CHANGES.


City Legislation.
The first Of the city bills that the Leg
islsture will be asked to pass at this ses-
sion was presented to City Council at last
nights session and its provisions are set
forth in the proceedings of the meeting.
II proposes TO establish q salary for mem
bers of Council in lieu of the present
mode of payment for regular and COM
mittee meetings. The salary has not yet
been agreed upon, but it is proposed to
fix it at $500 per member exclusive of
the president, who is TO receive $500 or
$400l, payable monthly and to deduct 81
for each Council meeting and 81 from
each committee meeting member fails
to attend. The present Council pay roll
averages $325 or $3.50 Per month and
the proposed new plan would make
but little net increase, while 1t
would possess the merit of making
tho salaries uniform. The December
pay roll, passed at last nights meeting,
shows that some members drew but "a, ,
while others exceeded $40. This is be.
cause some members have no committee
work to do, while others are members OF
committees that have occasion for fre.
qnent meetings. The uniform salary plan
~ EECblftu WILL AhSo4y nLh mAAA phHhupAI
secure the sanction of OoHncil.
Some members of Council have thought
of asking for change that will advance
the dates of the city registration about
six weeks, and then providing that nc
man shall vote at city primary election
unless he is registered. Night sessions O
the registers, for the accommodation o.
workingmen are also suggested. 1t is mo-
likely, however, that bill Of this char
aster will be brought before the Uit!
Council.
Legislation may also be asked to an
thorize the construction Of the proposed
intercepting sewer along the south sid
of the Brsndywine. But the probabiii
ties ara that the city government asl
very little OF this Legislature, As but few
changes in the city charter are needed q
