cLTTToN'S GALA DAY.

Last Saturday was great day for
the little village on the hill. Every
body was there-men, women, boys
and girls and even the babies, the
sweet little cherubs, with their cooling
and growing and crying, contributed
their httlc might to the general fes-
tivities of the occasion. The day was
all that could have been desired and
the cool, refreshing breeze that blew
tended to show that the people here
abouts are standing in with the powers
that be. The first thing on the pro-
gram was the organization of the
Sons OF VETERANS CAMP.
Commander Toomey, of L. 5. Grant
Post, G. 4. r., assisted by q number
of his comrades, took charge of the
initiatory steps toward the organlza-
ton, and for the zeal apd untiring IN
terest manifested by them they have
the sincere and heartfelt thanks of the
Camp. After the comrades had car
RED out their part Of the proceedings
the Camp begun their permanent or
ganization by the election of the fol
lowing officers: |. S Rickert, Capt;
r. j. Courtney, First Lieutenant; John
B. Streator, Second Lieutenant; Thos.
Doner, Frank \. Everts and ID. NJ.
Perishing, Camp Council; and Dan NJ.
Anderson was appointed Quartermas-
ter Sergeant, pro. TEN. Onida was
chosen as the location of the Camp
with very little opposition as the
members had become satisfied that the
advantages in favor of that place would
greatly over balance the convemences
IN favor of other places. The boys
are all enthusiastic and the Camp en-
barks upon its voyage to be under the
most hatteriny circumstances. They
meet today to perfect their organiza-
ton, designate a regular meeting day
and get into running order generally.
The following is the list of the char
ter members Of John \. Logan Camp,
No. 81:

Charley Evcrts. Frank A. Eserts.

The BASEBALL GAME
after the Camp organization was as
neat contest as person could de-
sire to witness. The contestants were
Hartford and Clifton on one side and
Onida on the other and the way the
boys made the diamond dust fly was
a caution. The players did good
work all round, especially was this
true of Al. Tobias, |. S. Pickert, Burt
Lilly, the Pierce boys and several
others who played ball just as though
they were getting money out of it in
stead of glory. Vim. Toomey um-
pired the game to the satisfaction of
18th sides Only five innings were
iayed and Hartford came out
rec scores ahead. The following is

GEORGETOWN, Del, October sO.-The
court convened at the usual time Friday
morning The case of Campbell VS.. JEFF
ferson, White for plaintiff and Robinson
for defendant, was then tried This is a
case of vi ct armes against collector for
disrraining upon goods of the defendant
for school tax, where, as he alleged, he
did not reside in the school district. The
plaintiff presented his case. but as he
proved only that the distraint was made
and tax paid under protest, and did nos
prove that there was any goods taken, a
non-suit was granted.
A motion was made by Bacon and Cul-
len upon a petition Of the @. H. Treat
Manufacturing Company that a rule to
show cause why u Judgment of the
Farmers Bank against the G. H. Treat
Manufacturing should not be SET aside
The court did not grant the rule but said
''as IL looked very much like a petition
by certain party to set aside iudg-
ment because of his own fraud, that they
would take the matter under aivise-
ment.
The case Of Mrs. Palmer VS.. Virden
White for plaintiff and Robinson & Gull
len for defendant, was then taken M.
This was a case brought by Mrs. Palmer,
widow, for damages caused by the death
Of her husband who was killed by a
dynamite explosion in boat at the old
Lewes while using dynamite cartridges
to remove parts of the pier. The plain
tiff failed to prove any negligence on the
part OF Virden, and on motion Of the de-
fendant, the court granted non-suit.
The jury was discharged until 10

In addition to drawing wire this com

thirty or more mills outside OF the com
bination TO barb any wire, no matter how

Protected by patents, protected by the
tariff, protected by a distance of three

abled to assume absolute control of the
market for drawing all kinds Of mer-
chantable wire. for making wire nails and
for barbing fence wire in this country.
There may be some trusts which are
not the outgrowth Of the protective
tariff but surely this wire trust is not
one Of them. An organization which can

Relieved from intense and unreasoning

In all material educational and religious
matters the colored race Is doing admira-

The only complaint comes from the
politicians who declare that the colored

Without entering into an examination

complaints, which are obviously dema-

be expected that the white race
Of Anglo Saxon heroes, who never bowed
the knee to any domination, should
yield to the negro now9 There is no rea-
son why they should yield their local
governments TO the Mahones and to the
negro. They have not even the majority

while the white race has everything Al

WHAT wlLL HE % WITH ~

On the formation of society for the

nized inferiority, is one OF which every
manly man is ashamed and one which he
tries to conquer so as to treat every col.
ored man he meets exactly as he would
treat a white man whose department was

Editor EVENING JOURNAL
Having interested myself considerably
with the idea Of improving the public
road between this city and Wilmington,
and believing that the citizens OF the
latter place, especially those who use the
road are equally anxious to have tlfe
work done, / would take this opportunity
of urging your citizens who are inter
ested to immediate action, and in as
much as your people do not, nor ever did,
pay a road tax, we have reason to expect
great help from them.
/ have been in consultation with parties
in regard 70 the best aud cheapest mater
ial to be used for the road and find that
furnace Stag can be delivered at two diff
ferent points on the Wilmington and
Northern railroad one point on the
Wilmington causeway the other on New
Castle avenue This Stag can be deliv-
cred at either Of these places for 80 cents
per ton, and | find upon inquiry that it
is considered even better than shell
road being more elastic and not so easily
washed or blown away Oyster shells, il
used, would have to be haule either from
New Castle or Christiana making 1t a
long distance from either place, and |
can assure you the hauling has great
deal TO do with the cost Of the work
Wilmington is the only city in this
state exempt from road tax aud now

THE effect of the sudden discovery and
Of the hasty appointment Of Green B.
Raum to the position Of commissioner of
pensions on the country has not become
manifest yet. The appointment seems to
have been suggested, not by the Grand
Army, not by the politicians. but by the
exlgencies of the situation. For
that reason, because he seems
a good man for the place, IL
may be that the selection will prove
unsatisfactory TO all Of these active and
interested classes. For both Of these
facts General Raum may prove more sat
isfsctory TO the country. The concensus
Of the country, outside Of these classes,
is that there should be no more Tan
