A CENTENNIAL ceLeeRATIoN.

suggested by Colonel j. r. Peyton of
HRddonheld, for April 3Oth.
When Washington went 70 New York
to be inaugurated president of the United
States. on April 80, 1883, his journey
from Mount Vernon 70 New York, was
round Of receptions. Every town and
hamlet through which he passed, made
the occasion one Of Joy and festivity glad
Of the opportunity to honor the great and
beloved leader under whose general
ship the colonies had thrown
of the British yoke, and who had been
unanimously elected the FIRST president Of
handful states, destined TO become the
greatest nation Of the world When
Washington and his comrades reached
Wilmington the president-elect was
given reception by the citizens Of the
then small town at the confluence Of the
Christiana aud Brandywine creeks.
Colonel j. l.. Peyton. the inceptor Of
the Inauguration Centennial has made
up his mind that as Delaware has been
given the right Of the line in the parade
on that occasion, In consideration OF her
being the first state to adopt the con-
stitution, she should live up to
the honor by appropriately cele-
brating the centennial Of the re-
ception given to General Washington,
by giving grand reception to President
Harrison when he arrives at this city on
his way TO New York to attend the cen
tennial Of the Inauguration of his illus
trious predecessor.
Colonel Peyton was in town yesterday,
consulting with prominent men in re
gard to the matter
Shall Wilmington be found wanting,
when such a chance is given her to prom
inently assist so great a celebration?
VIII the historic patriotism Of the
Diamond State, the land Of the Blue Hens
Chickens falter in this opportunity TO
show the country that the patriotic lustre
of the state is not bedimmed
by century Of years? Shall vii.
mington, with its industries and
manufactures, the mark Of the cen
turys advancement, hesitate on such an
occasion as this2
A public meeting irrespective Of party,
should be called at once and steps taken
TO arrange for reception to President
Harrison, that will be worthy Of the
occasion and a credit to the city.

LAST EDITION
THE NINTH WARD SCANDAL.
Hrs. Farley and Her Friend Make 8
Statement.

Statement.
Mrs. John Farley makes the following
statement in regard to the dispatch to
the Philadelphia Record, republished in
the JOURNAL yesterday, accusing her OF
having trouble with Joseph Barr, a
widower, living in the Ninth
ward on Thursday night last:
The despatch stated that Barr was infat-
uated with Mrs. Farley, who has hus-
band. But he finally got tired Of her
and his desertion made Mrs. Farley very
angry. She met him on the street and
after upbraiding him for his unfaithful-
ness, struck him in the face.
Mrs. Farley, coyly and blushingly de-
mies that Mr.. Barr was infatuated with
her and that he had therefore not become
tired of her, and of course she had no rea-
son to be angry or rampant" when she
met and struck him, as the Philadelphia
paper stated. Neither did she upbraid
him for his unfaithfulness, but she aid
strike him in the face for slandering her
friend. The despatch also stated that
bystanders acted as peacemakers This
also, Mrs. Farley modestly denies. as
there were emily two little BOYS who saw
the occurrence, and they did not attempt
to pour oil ON the troubled waters. The
true version of the trouble, according to
Mrs. Farley and her friend, Mrs. Coonev
who met Barr together on the street ON
Thursday night, is this Mrs. Cooney is
warm friend of Mrs Farley, and since
Friday last has been living with
her friends. Though married, she has
not lived with her husband for some
weeks. Barr, they say, told Mr. Farley
stories of a scandalous matters about
Mrs. Cooney, TO the effect that she was
not fit for Mrs Farley to associateSwith.
Farley told his wife and she and her
friend sought Barr to avenge the latter.
They met him, as has been stated, and
when accused of his scandalous gossip,
he called Mrs. Farley liar. Mrs. Farley
resented this accusation and struck him
in the face. That, the women say, was
the end of the affair, and that it was not
any circus at all

The. Greatest Newspaper wit of the Age,
Died Joking.

Philip H. Welch. the newspaper
writer of jokes and bright sayings, died
yesterday morning at 1130 o'clock at his
home, 357 jefferson avenue, Brooklyn
Death was caused by cancer of the
throat, which had troubled him for some
time, and whose growth he knew must
prove fatal. One day six months ago, at
the Press Club, he announced that he had
bit Of news, and when asked what IL
was, replied; MY doctor says will not
live till March"
Mr.. Welch continued his humorous
writing, however, and up to two weeks
ago was able to do active work. Then he
found it necessary TO dictate his produc-
tions TO his wife until too weak TO work
at all.
Mr.. Welch was born at Angelica. N.
Y, in 1S49. He was trained for CONNER
cial life, and began business in this city
with hardware firm, with which he re-
manned twelve years. Most Of the time
he was on the road, where
he gained an experience of
value in his later newspaper
work Business called him to Oil City,,
Pennsylvania, and while there he sent
petroleum reports TO Bradstreets. In
1882 he joined the staff of the Rochester
Post-Express, where his column entitled
the Present Hour, became replete with
quaint humor and telling hits The
Philadelphia Cali engaged him within a
year, and he kept up his reputation in
the column headed Accidentally Over
