Our Dover Letter.

Correspondence OF the Republican.
Dover, Dec. IL, lSsi.-This commu-
nifty is very much gratitied to know
that hereafter the DAILY REPUBLICAN,
can be had every evening NJ the store
of John s. Rowan. Hitherto, for some
time past, the RErUBLIcAN was received
here only by those who subscribed di-
rect TO the publishing Office, and when
Others who did not SO subscribe do
sired to see 1t at any time. they could
only do so by borrowing IL from sub
scriber5, but now from this time for
ward, we are informed Mr. Rowan
will have 1t on sale to any and all who
may wish to purchase 1t.
Although the people of Dover are
fully aware OF their superiority over
the Inhabitants OF ali the other towns
of the State, arising from the great
educational. social and other advan-
tages which they enjoy from the phe-
nominal advantages or Dover being
the capitol, yet they nevertheless re-
gard tho city OF Wilmington ne being
the "Hub" of tho State and are anxious
at oil times to know OF all the hubbubs
therein, and the DAILY REPUBLICAN
they regard as the reliable chronicler
OF the same.
Dover gives every Indication of sus-
tanning the reputation II has obtained
for material wealth and high social
tone. 70 the many persons OF histo-
rlc renowu who are permanent resi-
dents of our town several persons of
distinction have lately been added.
Among others, T. Schl o 5eman, Pfesi-
dent and s. Hamburger, Secretary of
the Delaware Hosiery Company, and
Rev. Maurice Penfield Fikes, and un-
der the favorable auspices OF the Nc
kinley tariff bill Dover gives promise
of not only being a great artery Of
commerce but the seat OF manufdc-
turing and other industries. Already
tina whir and hum OF our hosiery and
pearl button factory are heard in our
midst which we probably never would
have heard but for the mckinley
BILL" creamery is being built, and
there l. solno talk OF now iron foun-
dry being started.
Tha Dover machine works and foun-
dry which only employed limited
number OF help has, owing to the in

establishment and other causes been
compelled to increase its help and
have been been working extra hands
in order TO keep pace with the demand
for work in their line. Our town. III
which In years previous to this sixty
or seventy vacant houses could be-
found, has not to day more than six,
if has that number.
Our State coIored college, In our i'm.

thus 1t Is just in proportion as the pri.

Whilst writing this, have just been
informed of very sad occurrence
which took place a little before noon.
Mrs. Mary Tasker wife of Thomas
Tasker, a respected employee OF the
p, w. d b, Il. Company, went into a
room of her house, which was dark,
with lighted paper to look for some
article in a press which she required
for some sewing she was doing, and
by some means her dress caught fire
and could not be extinguished until
she was terribly burnt about the body.
DR. J. II. Wilson was summoned, but
the extent OF her injuries are not yet
known.
