dead letter in the state.
Among the Wilmington visitors here
last night were Judge Ball j. H. Hof
fecker, Willard Salisbury, Mayor Har-
rington and A. g. Osborne.
The Laurel school bill which almost
turned up the lower end of the state two
years ago and which failed Of passage
at that time, turns up smiling this year

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.
When the certificates of the vote Of
Delawares Electoral College reached
Washington last week it was found that
they were slightly out Of the regular
order. Accordingly a meeting of the
electors was called for yesterday and a
meeting held in the Office of the Secretary
OF State A letter from President Of the
Senate Ingalls, was read informing the
governor that the electors had neglected
to place on the outside of the envelope an
endorsement Of its contents. Under the
former statute governing meetings Of the
electors this was not required and hence
the present mistake.

BUTTE, Mt, Dec. l7.-Between I and
s o'clock last evening John M. Gallager
died in his house from the effect of in
iuries received from G. II. Ward in a bru-
tai fist fight hat took place Sunday morn
ing. The cause of the fight was a dispute
over a trifling account. The fight was
formally arranged to take place at a sport
ing resort a couple OF miles from town.
Only the principals and a dozen othere
were present. One hundred and five
rounds were fought, all of them iendish
in their brutality. the men fighting like
tigers. Ward knocked Gallager down
ninety-eight times.
Gallagher's left arm was broken in the
~forty-eighth round. but he fought on with
u~ndiminished ferocity, his limb swelling
as big as his body.
In the ninety eighth round Ward caught
Gallagher off his guard and delivered a
terrible right handler under the chin,
knocking him senseless. He partially re-
covered and fought seven more rounds in
a half dazed condition, receiving horrible
punishment until knocked out in the
l05th round.

DR.. Sicard, of Beziers, in a memoir
handed in to the French Academic de
Medecin for competition for the Alva.
renga prize, that he has al
last discovered the long sought for mi.
crobe of smallpox. He reports it to be
a bacterion belonging to the class OF
cocci; round, with a transparent center,
umbilicated in the middle, while its
edges are raised. "This bacterion can
be readily cultivated on gelatine that
has been sterilized by bichloride of mer.
curry. 1t can be found at all stages OF
smallpox, not only in the pustules of the
skin, but in the mucous of the bronchial
tubes and in the blood as well. 1t is
likewise found suspended in the air OF
rooms containing smallpox patients, and
if water be allowed to stand in such
rooms in open Vessels, it soon contains.
the smallpox bacterion. However, when
animals are inoculated with cultures of
this bacterion, although they manifest
u~neasiness, the symptoms are entirely
transitory, not at all serious, and, above
all, show no relation to variola, either in
its form or evolution"
