KNOWN IN WASHINGTON.
A r. Cazauran, the well-known Journalist,
dramatic critic, and author, died at noon yes
terday at his residence in New York city, at the
age of sixty-eight. He was born in Bordeaux,
France. and came to this country in 1S4S and
was employed on various newspapers in that
city for ten years when he went to Newport a
suburb Of Cincinnati, where he became Joint
publisher and owner with Pitman in his works
on stenography. He was afterward on the
force Of the Cincinnati Enquirer, which posi-
ton he gave up to become manager of Heller.
the conjurer, whose tour across the country he
conducted. He entered the Army when the
war broke out and subsequently became we'll
known in this city. He was at Fort Monroe
when Gen. Butler was IN command and claimed
that because he gave contraband information
the general placed him between the two ar
was afterward exchanged for DIR. Pol

came to Washington and was employed on the

Collector Robertson Sustained.
DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT,


COURT.
The Supreme Court of the United States to-
day delivered an opinion in the case of VIM. X.
Robertson, collector of the port of New York,
plaintiff in error, vs. the executors of Charles
L. Perkins, in error to the circuit court of the
United States for the southern district Of New
York. This 10 q customs suit brought to deter
mine the rate of duty on crop ends of Bessemer
steel rails. The collector Of the port assessed
a duty of rs per cent on the importation under
the tariff provision for steel not specially
enumerated or provided for. The importers
claimed that the crop ends were dutiabIe at 20
per cent as '.unwraught metal" The court
below gave judgment for the importer, on the
ground that the crop ends were a mere excess
Of material left over after the making Of steel
rails, and that as they we're not fit for use in
their present form they were properly dutiable
as "unwrought metal" This court re-
verses that decision and sustains the action
Of the collector. In an opinion by Justice
Blatchford the court holds that Bessemer steel
rail crop ends are none the less steel because they
are an excess Of material, and not fit for use
without being remelted or reheated and that,
therefore, they are dutiable as ''steel not espe-
cially enumerated"

COMMUNICATION.
A Card.

Truth crushed to earth will rise again. etc
Mr.. EDITOR will you please inseri
the following in answer to an article
which appeared in the NezOS and AdUe1-
hSer of last weeks issue, headed Com
plant" and signed III"
Now, Mr.. Editor, if the NezOS and I'D
seYtfSer circulated only in Milford where
the Young man is known, it would not
be necessary to notice the unjust and un-
called for attack; but the statements
therein contained is so far from truth,
and false attack being entirely without
cause, that I would like to make state
ment and give the facts in the case, which
are as follows;
He was coming in town on horseback
to attend to some business, and was riding
at a slow gait in the public streets, when
his horse was attacked and chased by a
very large and savage bloodhound be-
longing to Mr.. Refs, Of our town, and was
followed some distance by that savage
beast. He only did what any good citi-
zen would have done under the circum-
stances, and that was to protect himself
and horse from injury, by riding at an
unusual rate of speed to get aut OF harms
way. After procuring a pistol he did fire
at the dangerous brute.
Now, in conclusion I would say, that If
our town authorities would stop the run
ming at large upon our streets of such
dangerous and worthless dogs, that it
would ebviate any such trouble, and they
would be commended. Yours,
CITIZEN.

Pirates at a Wreck.
PLUNDERING THE RUINS OF THE CARS AT
LAUREL ON SUNDAY.

The accident at the railroad bridge at
Laurel on Sunday morning last was a seri-
GUS one. No lives were lost or any person
injured, but the destruction of property was
very large. The draw of the bridge had been
turned off to allow the passage of a schooner
going up the river The signals for stop
ping all trains were set and no danger from
that source was anticipated. A few minutes
later northbound freight train came in view
around the curve below the bridge.
The bridge tender sgnalled for the train
to stop, but the signal was disregarded and
the engine, followed by seven cars, dashed
through the draw and into the river. The
first car went into the draw on end, and was
reared up against the draw on the north side.
Five other cars followed and were crushed
and broken open on the engine and tender.
The seventh car went into the draw and
stood reared up against the south side of the
draw.
A wrecking train was sent to the scene of
the accident from Clayton, and with the aid
of guy ropes the cars which projected above
the track were pulled over so as to allow the
draw, which was uninjured, to be turned on.
The accident occurred at $40 o'clock in the
morning, and the track was not cleared until
4 O'Clock IN the afternoon.
The breaking up of the cars allowed a
large amount of freight in boxes and barrels
to escape, and it foated away. The train
men did what they could to save the prop.
erty, but,a great deal of it was lost and CON
siderable of it was carried away by the peo-
pie who seemed to think because an acct
dent had occurred they were at liberty to
take what they wanted.
One party procured a boat and caught
number Of articles which were adrif. The
spoils secured in this way are said to have
been carried off in wagon loads.
The Rev. J. Owen Sypherd alluded to the
accident in the course of his sermon, and
condemned in strong terms the running of
trains and steamboats, on Sunday

Dover Preachers, Meeting.

According to arrangements previously made,
there was held in the M. E. Church Of
Dover, Monday and Tuesday last, quite an
interesting preachers meeting. This is a
new feature in the social life of our people,
introduced by the pastor of the church. In his
opening address to the visiting clergy he said
that owing to the fact that there are not a
sufficient number of ministers to have reg
ular preachers meeting such as is usually
held by the ministers in the cities on Monday
of each week, he wished to suggest through
this meeting the plan of holding similar
meetings at the various churches on the line
OF the railroad. The experiment was de-
cided success, and we think the churches
where the holding of such meetings is prac-
ticable will do well to continue them The
first question discussed was, Fought women
to be eligible to all Offices in Church and
State" and was handled in quite lively
manner by Revs. Willis and Wilson of the
NJ. E. Church, and Rev Z. f. Williams of
the Baptist Church. Following this, Dr. ].
H. Caldwell read paper on "The Last
Days of St. Paul, " which was ofitselfa treat
The Doctor has ideas on this subject which
are quite original and somewhat novel, and
presented in his usual forcible manner, the
subject was one of the main features of the
meeting.
On Monday evening the second session
of the meeting was held. After devotional
services the first item of the programme was
taken up, which was several fve-minute
speeches on interesting topics relating to the
various phases of Sabbath-school work
These were by Revs. MacNichol, Williams,
Stephenson andStonecipher, and were all of
them quite instructive. Following this
Rev. J. S. Willis delivered an essay on "Our
Conference Claimants" which deserves to
be remembered and appreciated both for its
faultless style and for the important sugges-
tons it offers. An important feature of the
meeting on Monday evening was the music
which was furnished by the NJ. E. Choir
assisted by Mr.. c. E. Treidler. The two
solos by the latter, Consider the Lilies, "
and Jesus, Lover of My Soul, were very
fine; the choir, always equal to any demands,
did their part in their usual style, elicitiug
the praise of the audience. Miss Wilson of
the Conference Academy and Mr.. E. B. Lou
derbough presided at the organ.
On Tuesday quite lively discussion arose
on the question, what is the Relation of
the Modern Pulpit to the Great Political Ques-
tions of the Day Involving Moral Issuesl "
The question as opened by Rev. w. S. Rob-
iuson Of Smyrna, proved about as interesting
a topic as claimed the attention of the meet
ing during the entire time. This was fol-
lowed by an essay on "Sabbath-school MI
sic" by Rev. J. H. Wiley, which was finely
written and well received by the audience
The attendance was good throughout, and
every one who attended the meetings seemed
much pleased; and whenever in the future
the ministers shall see proper to repeat their
visit to our town they will find hearty and
cordial reception.

THE question of tobacco culture is
again being agitated by some of our
progressive farmers, who are of the
opinion that it could be as successfully
and prOfitably grown now as In the
past century, when tobacco was the
staple production Ofthis locality. That
the crop can be and is successfully
grown in Delaware.is too well known
TO need asserting; but the lack OfprOfit-
able success arises from the fact that
the methods Of curing are at fault. A
proper plan for the successful and pro-
fitable growth Of this product is, for
several farmers who desire to engage
in the enterprise, to club together aud
secure the services of an experienced
man who can superintend the culture
and curing for all, and with careful
observation = single season under the
instruction Of an expert will place the
grower where he can do his own cur
ing, land gives him the opportunity Of
using his lands for the growth ola crop
which will enlarge bis opportunity for
making agriculture a success, for it is
well known that all successful and
systematic farmers are anxious to have
more than one special crop, that in case
Of a periodical failure in the growth of
one crop, the seasons loss may be par
TALLY balanced by the success of an
other, and the greater the variety of
crops in the culture of which he is ex-
pert, the greater will be his resource
and consequent chance of success.
