Stabbed on tho Cars.

While coming up on the excursion
from Ocean City on Thursday Of last
week, Reynolds Cook, a well known
youngman of Felton,, was severely stabbed
in the right side between the fifth and
sixth rib by DIR Irving T. McCOlley, OF
Wyoming. The cutting occurred dur
lug a fracas between McColley and an
other young man, a friend Of Cooks
whose name could not be obtained, when
the latter interfered and attempted to
quell the disturbance. 1t was during the
fray that the blow was struck. Sheriff
Cole, who happened to be on the train,
took McColley into custody but released
him at Wyoming The latter denies
that he did the deed, but that tue knife
was in the hands Of some one else. Cook,
however, positively asserts that lMcCol-
ley was his assailant. At last accounts
the injured man was doing well and
slightly improved. He is a brother OF
James G. Cook, who, until recently, man
aged the telegraph Office at the CHRoNI
GLE office, aud is very much thought Of
at FELTON,.

THE colored camp at "Deep Branch"
still continues in full operation, and is
visited nightly by more whites than
blacks. II does not have the appearance
Of a religious meeting to an observer, and
many disgraceful scenes are constantly
being enacted oil the grounds. The
managers should preserve order by APP
pointing special officers, and if some Of
those who make a practice Of attending
the camp do not have any regard for
decency they should be taught to re-
spect ladies and gentlemen, though they
have black faces. We have witnessed
the action of some of the regular at
tendants"-whites we niean--that ought
to make any gentleman blush with
shame, even if be were alone, what must
be his embarrassment should he be the
escort of a lady. Gentlemen, and man
ayers of the camp ground, there is limit
to all things, and it is for you to say how
far this shall be carried. 1t has now
gone beyond the limit of responsibility,
and it is for you to put a stop to 1t or
close the meetings.
