Ninth Ward Scandal.

The Ninth ward is prolific of scandal. It
is an exceedingly dull week when there is
not an elopement or some antic of the
green eyed monster. The latest is the
following published in the Philadelphia
Record Of yesterday:
WILMINGTON, Del, Feb. 23.-For trans
ferring his affections to a younger and
more attractive female, Joseph Barr, a
Wilmington widower, was whipped by a
Mrs. Farley in this city on Thursday
night. Barr was infatuated with Mrs
Farley, who has husband, but he re-
Gently became tired of her and this made
the married woman rampant. She and a
friend met Barr on the street on Thurs
day night, and, after Upbraiding him for
unfaithfulness, she dealt him several
well directed blows in the face. By
ISLANDERS acted as peaoe-makers, but mat
tiers, judging by the prevalent gossip,
have not yet been smoothed over.
Inquiry in the Ninth ward this morn
ing confirms this version of the story.
The woman is known as Victorine Farley,
and the young woman who receives the
attention of Mr.. Barr is very respecta-
BILE young woman of 10 years.
Mr. Barr denies that the reason of the
trouble was any love matter, but simply
a remark he made about the culinary ar
rangements.

ception TO the rule under which New
York treats everything, as of light mo-
ment. yet it does seem strange that such
D body as the American Newspaper Pub
Lshers' association should be allowed to
meet to transact business and adjourn
without attracting more general atten-
ton than was accorded the recent meet
ing in the metropolis. Certainly there
was never q gathering of moro distin-
guished molders and manipulators OF

Hoffman house on that occasion.

Associations of editors are not new
thing; they have gone in and out Of fash
ion many times within the last half CEN
fury. The Press club is now feature of
social life in each of our great cities. The
printers have their trade unions for bene-
fetal and other purposes. The last news
paper workers TO organize themselves
into a guild were the publishers or bust
ness managers. OF these the American
Newspaper Publishers association is
composed, and collectively, as well as in
dividuaily. they have an eye to business,
even when ION pleasure bent This as
ISOLATION has just turned tho third year
Of its age. It is product Of the fertile
brain of w II. Brearley of Detroit, man
whose name is, in the west, synonym
for hustler Mr.. Brearley had up hill
work for awhile, and it was not until he
secured the cooperation of such success
full newspaper managers as w. NJ Sin
gerly, of The Philadelphia Record, the
Buffers, of The Buffalo News, and Charles
III. Jones, then Of Florida, now of Mis-
souri,. that he succeeded in placing the
association on its feet. 1t is now getting
to be such big thing that all the news
papers in the country, big and little, are
scrambling TO have a share in its bene-
fits. The object of the association, as far
as it can be stated in sentence, is the
advancement and protection of the ad-
vertising interests of the papers repre-
sented. 1t is becoming to the newspaper
business what mercantile agencies are TO
trade generally, and it viii soon be easier
for a camel to go through the eye of
a needle than for a bogus advertising
agency or fraudulent or bankrupt adj
vertiser to victimize a newspaper pub
Usher under the mgis of this association.
The men seen at tho Hoffman house at
the annual meeting few days ago are
men of note and weight in their own
communities, and should be better
known to the country at large. w. NJ.
Singerly, of Tho Philadelphia Record,
the late president, was absent on account
Of illness. The day has passed when he
needed any word of introduction to any
part of the United States. His enter
prise has stamped itself upon everything
with which his name has been connected,
and in Philadelphia, where lie lives and
has built up that great newspaper, The
Record, Singerly and success have come
to mean about the same thing. His sue
cessor in the presidency is ono Of tho
little giants who have come out of the
west. James w. Scott, the master mind
of The Chicago Herald, is the man. Mr.
Scott seems to come naturally, without
effort of his own, to the head Of any en-

an opposition line to the American Tele-
graph company, called the Hughes sys-
tenn of printing telegraph. The scheme
not being over profitable, young Bullock
soon after accepted the offer Of the
Adams Express company TO take charge
of their southern service, with headquar-
tiers at Augusta, Ga. During the war he
remained south, and at its close, he, with
others connected with tho express COM
pany, organized and established one Of
the first national banks Of the state and
became one of its directors. After the
failure of President Johnson's efforts at
reconstruction, Mr.. Bullock accepted
the nomination as one Of the dele

stitutional convention 20 form consti-
tuition for the state Al this iuncture
some difficulty arose between the mill
tary commander and the then governor,
which caused the latter's removal by
military order. The convention by two
thirds vote recommended Bullock to the
Office Of provisional governor.
Upon the completion Of tho constitu-
ioh anu lne organization OF party TO
go before the people, Bullock was nomi-
mated by reclamation as the reconstruc-
ton or Republican candidate for COVER
nor, and elected by majority Of 5000
over the Confederate soldier, Lieut.. Gen.
John B. Gordon. Governor Bullock vol
unfairly resigned his Office in 1871 and re-
turned north. He has been q resident OF
Atlanta for q dozen years past, and is
now president of hourishing cotton

DOVER, Del, Feb. 25.-The ses-
sion viii open to-day at p. m,
and it bids fair to be one of the liveliest
weeks Of the session. The Addicks lobby
is expected down in force. Mr. Addicks
will come himself and try to enlighten
the members upon his obtuse bin. 1t
will require considerable enlightment
to secure a twe-thirds vote in
both houses for the measure. The Viii
mington Coal Gas Company and the viii
mington Electric Company are also ex-
pected to come down to fight the bill.
These companies see in the giant cormo-
rant that the bill contemplates some
thing that win make their existanee only
a matter Of few years. 1t is the
history Of nearly every concern of this
kind that when they enter town they
first put down the price of gas and cleo.
tricity, and then when they get it so low
the other company cannot do business.
they buy up the plant and up goes the
price of gas or electricity. This is the
story Of the Reading gas works and cor
porations where home capital has been
invested in a number of other towns and
cities.
The legislative ball tomorrow is going
to be great event. Arrangements have
been made to prevent overcrowdinp ana
accommodations will be provided at the
hotels for all visitors. Elegant programs
have been issued and each person will
receive one. The large crowd expected
has made it necessary to do away with
the refreshments. The dancing will
commence promptly at s o'clock and
close at 10 o'clock.
The State House project has not got
very far advanced since last week. There
has grown up against it sentiment that
will be hard to overcome. This is wrong
and should not be so, as the need of the
building is felt on all sides.
