PHILADELPHIA, Aug 3.-The first pub
lie uttersnce of Senator Quay on the ques-
ton of the next Republican nomination
for president was delivered in his room in
the Cont mental hotel Saturday evening.
He was being questioned by some of his
many callers about Secretary Blaine's
health, and from that familiar topic the
transition was easy to the subject of the
secretary's probable attitude with refer
ence to the nomination for the presidency.
Senator Quay said: Il do not know any
thing about mis- intentions, but while l was

of the Produce exchange and fled to Spain
There is no eXtradition treaty with Spain

All things considered, there seems to be
every reason to believe that the silver en-

prophesie5 and intended-the greatest
gathering OF veterans since the grand re.

the war in 1865. The Grand Army now is
at the zenith Of its glory 1t has grown
gradually to its present dimensions, and
in few years will come the time
when the number of recruits can 10
longer equal the number of comrades

tonal encampment is likely to go down to
posterity as the banner encampment in
the history of the organization.

A BIG DAY FOR RECEPTION.

The Veterans Swarm All over the City
and Fill the Camps.
But today was the day when the crowds
came in. The delegates who had stopped
a few hours in Chicago yesterday began
arriving in the morning and they took the
town. The camps rapidly filled up and
the reception committee was busy from
early morning putting them away in
their quarters. How many had arrived
when this report closed it is impossible to
state, but the town was full of them, and
with those known to be en- route there
can be no doubt that there will be so, 600
here by tomorrow morning. This fact
need not give any uneasiness as to accom-
modations, for when the camps overflow
there is plenty of room elsewhere.
Detroit's Latchstring Is Out.
Because if "hearts make homes" no vet
eran need feel himself a stranger this
week, for the whole population is putting
forth every effort to make each old soldier
remember the City of the Straits with
pleasure throughout his remaining years.
Not only have the outer gates of the city
been thrown open, but the citizen has left
his door ajar, and each guest of the people
must feel that he is welcome in the broad
est sense of the word. Extraordinary, pre-
cautions have been taken to insure suf-
ficient quantity of wholesome food, every
possible provision has been made for the
reception and entertainment of the "boys

A Case Of Mistaken Identity.

| BENJAMIN Brown, respectable col
ored man, was arrested by Officer
Craddock at the depot here Monday
evening on suspicion of being one Of
party of negroes who were engaged
In a fracas at Townsend last Satur.
day night. Shortly after six o'clock
telephone message was received
from the authorities at Townsend,
stating that man answering a certain
description had boarded the train
there and instructing the officer to
arrest him on his arrival at the depot
at Middletown. Brown nanswered the
description in part of the man wanted
and was arrested. He was much sur
prised but stated his willingness to
wait until it was proved that he was
the wrong man. He took his arrest
very coolly and his only wish was to
get back to Philadelphia in time to
go to work the next morning. His
son, aged about six years, was with
him at the time of his arrest.
Constable Duhadaway and John
Willis of Townsend drove up here to
identify the prisoner, but this they
were unable to do and he was releas-
ed, after being assured that he would
be sent on to Philadelphia by the
next train.
After his release he was persuaded
by several colored men here who SYM
pathized with him to have Officer
Craddock arrested, and Brown at
once swore out warrant for the
officer on the charge of assault and
battery, and false imprisonment" At
hearing before Squire Ferguson the
officer was held in 5000 bail for his
appearance at court, and the colored
man gave bond for the same amount.
The affair created considerable talk
and various opinions were heard as
to whether the charge brought by
Brown was just one or not. 1t is
considered doubtful If he will appear
at the trial, and if such should be the
case the matter will be dropped.
The whole affair was the outcome
of disturbance that occurred in
the hotel at Townsend Saturday
night last, when several colored men
entered the bar-room and called for
liquor over the bar reserved for the
white customers. Upon being told
to go around to the place kept for
their kind they pulled revolvers and
threatened to use them if their wants
were not gratified and the proprie-
tor probably did the best thing under
the circumstances when he furnished
them with the liquor. The negroes
were from Chester, Pa, and were on |
their way to colored camp at Mil
lington, Md.
Constable Duhadaway assisted by |
Deputy John Willis arrested two OF
the men Monday evening as they
were about to leave for home, and
brought them here and locked them
up until Tuesday morning, when
they were taken to New Castle jail In
default of 5000 bail each. The men
were well dressed and carried grips.
Their names were Emory Wright and
John T. Foster and until recently the
latter wasemployed. by different farm
ers near Kirkwood.
They told the reporter that they
did not participate in the fracas, and
only heard Of it through some Of
those who were there. Their story /
receives but little credence however
and several persons are certain that
they are the men,.

- The corn cutting machine which
has been on exhibition at the ware
house of Davis Bros, was taken to
the residence of Mr.. George McIntire
yesterday and given a trial in some
of the heaviest and tallest corn ever
seen in this section. Several of the
farmers of the neighborhood were
present and were satisfied that the
machine is success. 1t is composed
OF low platform on the order of an
ordinary sled with small wheels
under it. The knives extend out
from the sides of the sled and present
an edge somewhat like the edge of
the lightning hay knife used here in
late years. One horse is attached to
the machine and walks between the
rows. Two men sit on the sled and
hold the corn as it is cut by the
knives. When an armful is secured
the horse is stopped and the corn is
set up in shocks. The two colored
men who worked the machine had
never before seen anything of the
kind, but they had little trouble and
would soon become expert workmen.
To find how the cutting of the ma
chine compared in quantity with the
cutting by hand the following figures
will show. Mr.. McIntire had four
men cutting, two of whom took the
machine while the other two went on
cutting by hand. With the machine |
the men cut $40 hills, while the two
who were cutting by hand cut 264, a
difference of 578 in favor of the ma
chine in the same time. The horse |
attached seemed to get along easily
the ground was soft. The
draught is lighter than was expected.
When the corn is standing up well
there is little doubt but that the ma
chine will do the work of six or eight
men. The stubs are not higher than
those usually left. With few hours
an ordinary workman
could handle the machine successful
y. The use Of this machine would
greatly lessen the hard work neces-
'ary in harvesting the corn crop in
the old way.

going around about the prisoner be-

Wilmington's Great Fair.


The fair opened Tuesday under very
unfavorable circumstances and but
1900 people were present. Rain fell
during most of the day and the trot-
ting events were not near as interest
ing as they would have been under
more favorable circumstances. The
exhibits are fully up to last years
and the attractions are more numer-
GUS than ever.
Six thousand persons attended the
Fair yesterday. The races were all
close and were not ended until dark.
In the third heat of the 2.45 class the
bay gelding Colonel Colgrove, enter
ed by A. H. Tyson, of Chester, Pa,
ran away, and threw Harry Hunter,
the driver, from the sulky. The
horse made four circuits of the track,
two miles on run. He was then
stopped by the crowd and made to
take a somersault over the fence,
landing on his back. The horse was
slightly cut about the legs. In the
third heat Of the 2.37 class the judges
took Barnes who was driving Dan
from the sulky and substituted
Aehuff. 1t was evident that Barnes
pulled Dan in the second heat for
Achuff won the race easily. T. Wood
Martin was starting judge, and G. N.
Barnard, Robert 8. Carpenter and
Daniel F. Stewart were associate
judges.
To-day will probably be the big !"
day and an immense crowd is expect
ed. The weather is simply perfect
and everything points to its being
the best fair ever held since the Asso-
citation was formed.
