The winning qualities are
the Same in all walks of life.
The men of imagination who
dream dreams and see visions,
who catch a nebulous thought
of that which is to come and
in advance of other men put it
in concrete form are the men
that win.
And so when our Silk Mana.
ger caught the thoughts Of
Summer Silks for 90 and
brought them here long before
the dotage of 81, he already
won the Silk business in adj

The quick demand for the
new Surahs, ST. to $I.25; Pom
gees, ooc to ST.; Shanghais,
Soc to $I.35, and japanese, 81
to SI.25, proves it. Many OF
them are of the famous David

David Evans is Lord Mayor

Court resumed proceedings ut $50
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, with all
the Judges present.
As soon as the court opened, Mr..
EmmonS resumed his argument for
she defence Ia the case OF the State, We
Lewis @. Young. and made the best
and most earnest speech that he ever
delivered In the court 1t is certain
that no matter what the verdict may
be Mr.. Emmons is satisfied that his
client is innocent of the serious charge
that Is being pressed against him.
He was followed by Attorney GEN
eral Biggs, who spoke until 8. 20 o'clock
when the jury were charged by Judge
Cullen.
He said it would be necessary for the
jury to carefully weigh the testimony
submitted by the State, and also by
the defense. After reading the law ap-
plying to cases OF this kind, he said
that II the jury believed the testimony
of the witnesses for the State, they
must convict him of misdemeanor,
but at the same time they must not
lose sight of the fact that this charge
is preferred and testified to by child.
He reviewed the testimony and said
that although it was claimed that the
offense was committed at a certain
time, IL the jury believe that tho of
Tense was committed at some other
time, they would be justified in render
ing verdict of guilty.
He also spoke preference to charac
ter, and said that while testimony OF
this kind must be given due considera-
ton it must not be forgotten that
while man may have q good charac-
| ter before the world, he may still be
guilty of secret offenses. Ii however.
| the jury had doubt of the guilt Of
the accused, they must give him the
benefit OF the doubt and render a ver-
dict OF not guilty. The charge was
concluded and the jury retired at $50
o'clock.
The Court waited on the jury until
10 o'clock last night, and then, as
there was no probability Of their
agreeing upon n verdict, directed the
bailiff to keep them all night.
Daniel Sorden WAS arraigned and
| pleaded guilty TO q charge of the lar
ceny OF goods from John A. Manlove
He was sentenced to pay the costs OF
| prosecution, be imprisoned two
months, and be whipped with five
lashes.

Court dor They claimed that fraud
vitiated any action even, in the form
and letter of the law, and proceeded
to order the names OF the returned de-
Iinxuents to be replaced upon the as
sessment. Then came the iniunctlLn
proceedings on the part Of the Demo-
Gratis. They got their injunction and
stopped the Levy Court from placing
upon the assessment lists the names
OF the fraudulently returned dclin-
quents. 1t was held by the chancellor
that fraud OF no fraud as the month
of March left the assessments they
had to remain.

For some time past there were indi-
cations Of a weakening on the part OF
the Democratic papers and Demo-
cratic publ; on the tax collection mud
die existing between the two excounty
tax collectors OF Wilmington and the
Republicans of the Levy Court. 1t was
confidently expected by the Republi-
cans that there would lie total col
lapse OF the Democratic situation, but
that their vindieation would come on
the first day of the Levy Court inves-
tigation, and that it would be 90 full
and complete they were not expecting.
The prize has already like an overrips
apple dropped at the first touch into
the Republican basket. Everything
ever set forth, ever claimed by the Re-
publican Executive Committee through
all this tax imbroglia, has been fully
substantiated and brought forth in
bright, truthful. living eolors by the
proceedings of yesterday.
1t needed no other evidence of the
guilt OF the two tax collectors, than
their persistent refusal to testify upon
the witness stand to the truth OF
which they knew. than their persist
emit refusal to answer the plain point
ed, knife cutting questions PROFOUND
ed to them by the Levy Courts Attor
ney, Mr.. Bradford, under the criminals
plea that if they answered truthfuliS
they would incriminate themselves
Better would it have been for botl
collectors If they had honestly an
swered every question frankly, open
ly and truthfully, rather than to hav'
selected the criminals plea OF silence
They however were their own arbiter
in the matter, they chose the cours
they pursued, and that they have
thrown aside the only means by whicl
they could have come before tn
public and claimed forgiveness,
their own fault.

Considerable interest was taken in
the match lrotting race for 500 side
which took place at the Belmont Driv-
ing Club, on Saturday afternoon, be-
tween the chestnut stallion Lyndon,
owned by Mr.. George ID. Wetherill,
Clearview Farm, Bellevue, Delaware,
and the bay gelding Mambrino Prince,
driven by Mr.. George Scattergood.
Lyndon was driven by MIR. Thomas
Grady, lessee of the track, and won in
three straight heats. Time, 2.3ls4, $50

Lyndon is chestnut stallion, 1871
