A bill is pending be ore the Legislature
requiring the Levy Court of Sussex
County to pay back to the Rehoboth
Beach Association two-thirds of the
taxes collected ftom the association for
Improvements. Taxes to the amount OF
$500 a year is collected from the associ-
alton, and not dollar OF this money
comes back in the way of improvement.
Besides this the association has TO tax It's
own property to keep up repairs of
streets, which are constantly needed on
account of foods washing ravlnes and
gullies in the streets. This association
very properly claims that 1t Is entitled to
some consideration from the county,
either iu improvements or money re-
funded.
Before Rehoboth Beach was organized
the property paid about 81 year to the
county in taxet; this last year 1t paid
f5l2,90. II two-thirds of this is paid
bnck 1t would still leave $40 for the
couuty as against 81 before the place was
used for its present purpose. 1t looks as
II the bill had great amount of merit
in 1t and 1t certainly should receive favor
able consideration at the bands of the
Legislature. Many business and liberal
minded minds would even go farther and
say that the property should be entirely
exempt from taxation for term of years
in the future.

An Important Invention.

Albert @. Griggs, of the Mccullough
Iron Company, has made an important
invention which will in a great measure
lessen the chances of accident on the rail.
This invention consists OF an open elec-
tric current for each car. which is closed
by pulling q small rope, causing cur
rent Of electricity to pass around msg-
net and lifting valve, which allows the
air from the air chamber TO rush in,
blowing a whistle. This new signal was
tested on the w. & N. r. r. and found to
work in a highly satisfactory manner
Mr.. Griggs has formed partnership
with Howard L. Pyle, OF this city, and q
company will shortly be organized for
manufacturing the signals.

on the lockout for fugitives, arrested
him and took him before squire. The
place was soon surrounded by q crowd OF
people and the door was locked. Thomas
Garrett being sent for came and the
crowd stood aside for him. The door
was opened to his commanding knock.
Looking over the crowd inside he caught
the eye of the fugitive, and guessing at
his name, said, "Why Bob what are you
doing herei Thee must come home,
people will think thee is fugitive" The
crowd parted and Mr.. Garrett and Bob
left. The lecturer here told how Sojourner
Truth, helped Mr.. dafTTctt in his work.
Mr.. Garrett was not much of the
ologian and some thought he was little
infdelislic In his views. To all appeals
upon this topic he would answer l believe
In doing my duty to God and man.
But now came tie misfortune OF Mr..
Garrett. A whole family of slaves were
shipped to the house OF John Hum, OF
Middleton The slaves were taken to
New Castle and Mr.. Garrett was sent Tor.
The elaveB were taken before Chief Jas
tice Booth. 1t was difficult for Judge
Booth to decide, but everything else be-
ing equal, his decision was on the side of
liberty, and the slaves were put on the
U. g. and een. north.
But Mr.. Garrett and Mr.. Hum were
taken before the U. 3. District Court, and
tried by Justice Tawney, afterwards fa-
nous for the Dred &c tt decision, and
tried for eLticing away and harbo.ing
fugitive slaves. The trial lasted three
days amidst the greatest excitement and
verdict of guilty was brought in. Mr..
Garrett made speech Of an hour 10 the
crowd, in which he said "If thee knows
of any fugitive slave in distress send him
to me-" One of the jurymen came to
him and begged his pardon. All he had
saved was swept away. But friends came
to his relief Men who could helped to
make up his loss and the colored people
had meetings and prayed for him. A
colored woman said: "Four OBJ us met in
prayer meeting and we prays for 'Masr'
Garrett, and bress de Lor, he got 1t all
back agiu."
Mr.. Tilden then passed on to the latter
days of his ideal hero, and told OF his ex-
ultstion when the slaves were manu-
mitted by Abraham Lincoln. When he
clothed fugitive in uniform and told
him he would call and see how he looked
in his regimentals, he wrote: "Am /
naugbty-a NONRESIDENT In helping
Father AbInhamP
The lecturer vividly described the first
celebration of the Fifteenth Amendment,
how the colored people placed Mr. Carr 1T
In barorche and took him around in
their procession with banner, on which
was the IN criptlon, "Our Moses" Then
Mr.. Tilden referred again to the funeral
of Mr.. Garrett. Eight stalwart colored
men bore him upon their shoulders ten
derly to his grave In the Friends Gene
terry. One Of the eight men who yet lives
told Mr.. Ti'den that they first intended TO
put the remains iu q hearse and them
selves pull 1t, but upon reflection they
adopted the plan Of bearing him on their
shoulders as the most characteristic of
their deep affection ond love. The whole
lecture was listened 10 with the most In
tense interest.
