A Contention over the Names of Four

Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. March THE Kent Levy
Court is busy receiving and revising the
collectors lists. Robert Stafford, the
collector Of Mispillion hundred, had
little tilt with some Of the Republican
managers yesterday over the disposition
of four names on the list. The names
were those Of colored men-Webbs,
customny \" by the assessor, and so
when quartette Of colored men called on
Collector Stafford some time ago and
claimed that the names belonged TO them
and they to the names, the collector
couldn't see 1t, as the names were net
marked, and as they stood represented
white men. He accordingly refused
the colored men the receipts. When he
came to make up his list for the Levy
Court, however, and could find no white
men bearing the names, he added the en-
to them himself and turned in the lists
Here the Republican managers who
watch everything about the Levy Court
stepped in, and after much discussion,
Mr.. Stafford allowed the negroes pay to
the tax and gave them their receipts.
Elmer Thompson, well known young
butcher, doing business on Division
street, is seriously i'll.

NEW YoRK, March IA mass meeting at
chickering hall in the interest Of the New
York Free Circulating Library was nd
dressed by Grover Cleveland, Seth Low,
Andrew Carnegie, j. II. Choate, j. G. Car
ter and other prominent gentlemen. The
good work Of the library was commended,
and steps were taken to extend the useful
ness Of the institution. In the course Of his
speech Mr.. Cleveland said:
Sin every enlightened country the value
Of popular education is fully recognized, not
only as a direct benefit to its recipients, but
as an element Of strength and safety in or
ganized society. Considered in these aspects
il should nowhere be better appreciated
than ia this land Of free institutions conse-
Grated to the welfare and happiness Of its
citizens, and deriving its sanction and its
power from the people.
HIRE the character Of the people is in
ev.tahly impressed upon the government,
Ai!i here our public life can no more be
higher and purer than the life Of the people,
thnn q stream can rise above its fountain or
be purer than the spring in which it has its
source
THAT we have not failed to realize these
conditions is demonstrated by the establish
ment Of free public schools on every side,
where children are not only invited but
often obliged 20 submit themselves to such
instruction as will better their situation in
life and fit them to take part intelligently
in the conduct Of the government

country by false representations, arrived in
this city yesterday They were en- route to
Kansas City. They were supplied with
breakfast at the Union depot and deyoured

They claim that the agent who induced
them to come TO America told them that
farms awaited them in Kansas, and that all
they would have to do on reaching their
destination would be to present their claims
and take possession. They are without
money, poorly clad and present a pitiable

little hope for his recovery. The wound is
healthy, however, and discharges freely
Correspondent Kincaid, accompanied by his
attorney, was at tho Capitol for short
time. His defense will bo that Taulbee COM
mitted an assault upon him on the stairway
where the shooting took place This stair
way is composed Of two flights Of steps lead
ing down to a common landing, from which
to the basement of the house wing they
merge into one flight Kincaid claims that
he was coming down one of these flights and
met Taulbee and his companion, ex-Door-
keeper Donaldson, who had descended the
other flight on the landing. Taulbee, he
alleges, assaulted him. and he drew his pis-
tol because of the physical difference be-
tween them, and was compelled to shoot for
fear of bodily harm. At late hour ex-
Congressman Taulbee's chances for living
were regarded as hopeless, and his death was
looked for at any hour.

WASHINGTON, March T. Senator Allison's
attitude ON two Of the principal tariff issues
was outlined to a reporter of the United
Press with some distinctness by the senator
himself. When shown a publication in a
New York paper which stated that the sena-
tor was leaning toward some of the most
important propositions in the Mills bill, he
said: II do not care to discuss the matter
while the house committee is busy with it,
When the schedules come to us we will be
prepared to treat them, and you may say
that will consider them as a Republican.
You may say that l am in favor Of deep
cut on sugar. viii not say that favor
the abolition Of the duty and the payment
Of bounty. As to tobacco, you may say
that ! will vote 20 abolish the tax on it very
reluctantly. We win have a hard time ex-
planning the duty on great many necessi-
ties if we abolish the duty on this luxury
Evening journal., 1890-03-07

To sign petition asking that the fees
of an officer be cut down summarily
without warning, after the work has
been dons. is manifestly unjust and
unfair To ask the Levy Court to reduce
the fees Of an officer when petitioner
knows nothing ABOUT the facts in the
case is manifestly unjust. To assist a
newspaper in its mercenary and malicious
efforts to improve its own treasury and
its own prestige is shameless and unwar-
ranted interference.

Ihe a0eathey today rs kakeLy
to be clear.
IN illustrator.

<A0 fbWotI ttt(OJI,
Yesterday we printed some
remarks about the relations of
trade laws to this business.
The point was that our great
popular business created the
best facilities for a trade in ex-
elusive high class novelties,
especially in Dress Goods.
1t is easy to prove this by a
thousand illustrations. Take
one or two at random in the
fine Black stuffs. Black is
just now a great factor in
fashionable dress.
FarSt-All silk open-mesh
Grenadine, with plain satin
striped border, at So. 1t
would be difficult to express
more elegant simplicity in
woven stuffs. There are only
two looms in the land that can
make them, and we control the
whole product. Each can
make about one dress pattern
daily. What are these among
SO many1 The distribution
covers all the land.
Second - All-silk twisted
Grenadine-still blacks-from
Lyons, like an Organdie in
silk, broad, solid, plain hem
stitched borders S.; and the
same effects in hemstitched
stripes, $3.50. We think you
may not approach, much less
match them, elsewhere.
All the foregoings are 44
inches, and only 7 to 8 yards
are needed for a pattern. In
types the story is prosaic-the
goods are a mute but eloquent
appeal.
The whirligig of ingenuity
transforms Flannels. The
mention no longer suggests an
undershirt or a charity-box.
Let your eye survey the much
ness of the new Flannels, and
your fancy roams over the
Roman Campagna, the Vale
of Cashmere, a tennis court
alive with swell players. Try
to describe them and you want
the dictionary compounded
with the rainbow. The thought
is now of beautiful morning
dress gracing the breakfast
table.
Woven wool never yields
the clear, bright effect Of
printing. Take a look at the
Bordered and Striped Flannels,
just in, our own designs car.

Fnioved the Fine bgornInr,

A large iron-gray horse, belonging to
s. Speakman, was being harnessed this
morning, when he sprang from the stable
on King street above Ninth, and ran up
King street at full speed. When oppo-
site the Court House he turned and his
rompings were continued. He jumped
all over the sidewalk, which was soon
cleared of pedestrians. Aften ten min
utes had expired he walked leisurely into
the stable and was the recipient of a
sound thrashing at the hands of the en-
ragged driver, after which he stood quietly
while being harnessed.
