Mrs. Ianetry Gets sl25, 900.


What is vouched for as being the
correct story Of the assault made on
Mrs. Langtry by Mr.. Abingdon Baird
has come to light, and it shows that
the Lilly" received many sovereigns
for every drop Of blood she shed.
1t appears that Mr.. Baird, who had
replaced the image Of Freddy Gebhard
in the "Lily's" bosom by one of him
self, and had given York House to the
pretty actress, called upon her one day
only to find a young gentleman dining
with her.
Without many words Mr.. Baird pro-
ceeded to knock Mrs. Langtry down by
striking her in the face. Much good
red blood was spilled, and a surgeon
who attended her said it is possible she
will never be able to play again.
Mrs. Langtry began suit for assault,
and to pacify her Mr.. Baird has paid
her S125, 600.

THE FRICTION and operation Of o

THE ERECTION and operation of Q
street car line through Middletown
would be of great advantage to the
town, especially if the road be
extended to Odessa as it should be.
The distance between any two points
within the town limits is not great
and few persons would wish to spend
even three cents to ride over that dis
tance, but the carrying Of freights to
and from the steamboat line at Odessa
would be an item worthy of consider
alton. The people of Middletown are
now paying excessive freight charges
on the Delaware railroad and there is
no redress save through some COM
peting line offering equally good SER
vice.
This line to Odessa by an electric
road and thence to Philadelphia by
boat, could and would be economically
run, and could be made to afford relief
from the oppressive charges OF the
great monopoly. When the new rail-
road which was chartered BY the Legis-
Iature last winter, is built, there is no
reason to suppose thot it will be more
than four miles west of Middletown.
With an electric road extending from
Odessa to the new road the people of
all this section would be able to Sc cure
the best rates Of three competing tran
sportation companies.
The existence Of such a connecting
link would do more to induce manu-
facturers to locate here than any other
offer that can be made it would issue
cheap freights and good service. the
one thing needfnl in all manufacture
ing centres. The advantages of
road-bed such as "Observer !" pro-
poses would be great and would de-
crease the expenses of the town as well
as Of st. Georges hundred property
along the line would rapidly increase
in value, the means Of communication
would be Of such a nature that busi-
ness could be easily and quickly tran
sacted in any part Of large neighbor-
hood, schools and churches would be
more effective and every advantage
offered by large city would be at
hand without any Of its disadvantages.
If these advantages are within reach
Of Middletown it is the duty of her
citizens, and particularly Of the Board
of Commissioners and the Board of
Trade to render every possible service
to the enterprise. In any arrangement
of this kind Middletown will be the
centre of trade. The charter for such
a road has been obtained and nothing
stands in the way except an absence Of
popular interest and we hope that will
soon be aroused.

before popular demand for honest
men as party directors and party candi-
dates. Politics in this State seems to
be overcharged with corruption and
the present eruption is the very natural
consequence. The rogues have fallen
out, and the opportunity Of honest men
is at hand. The Democratic party is
burdened with few disreputable men
whose services will be hereafter dis
pensed with, but the Republican party
is afflicted in the same way only the
proportion of rascals to the white con-
tingent is greater by far than is the
proportion of bad Democrats to honest
Democrats.
The Democratic party represents the
intelligence and morality of the State,
and hence viii purify herself and rise
above the disgraceful acts of a few dis
reputable characters who. have been
drawn to her support by the desire for
gain. The Republican party is burden
ed by Bach, and quite a number of
other unique characters and the
ignorant and dangerous negro vote.
There can be no middle ground for
honest Democrats, they must come out
fairly for honesty and decency, and rid
their party Of everything bad this can
be done and this is the time to do it.

THE present condition of Whining
ton politics is enough to disgust the
people of ordinary honesty and intelli-
gence. The very worst feature Of the
whole business is the apparently de-
PRAYED condition of F. Eden Bach,
confidential secretary to Senator
Higgins. In the campaign of 1888
when the fight against Levy Court
Commissioner Hickman was so bitter,
when corrupt practices were used
both for and against his election. Mr..
Bach is said to have received two
hundred dollars as the price of his sup
port, and as the price Of the editorial
support Of the Republican paper Of
which he was then editor. It is we'll
known that this man is INSCRIPTIONS,
but not many persons would have ac-
cused him of selling his vote with the
votes Of all who were influenced by
him. Mr.. Bach is carpet-bagger with
all that implies, and now seems to be
something even worse. All this would
be Of slight Importance to the public,
were it not for the fact that he is the
head and front Of the Republican
party in this State and the confidential
adviser of Senator Higgins.
The Senator has been unfortunate in,
his appointments, and the appoint
ment of Bach to the office nearest and
most important to himself was partic-
ularly So The trouble has all arisen
from the quarrel over the four thous-
and delinquents whom the Levy Court
wanted to put on the duplicates.
Mckee was the FIRST one to get into
trouble and Bach follows closely.
With these two worthies in a close
place why should Marshal Mahaffy and
Postmaster Stewart be allowed to GO
in peace with the charges which they
have brought against themselves? They
admit and boast of having made a
shameful deal with Dongherty and
Mckee, in the government building
during Office hours. These men know
that they are commanded by the law
Of the land to keep out Of politics, and
yet they boast Of the fact that they
~
are ordinary wire-pullers and general
purpose political hacks. Why does
not some honest Wilmingtonian make
the facts known to the proper officials?
There is no reason to hope for their re-
moval under such an administration
as the present one, but the people of
Wilmington should be served by men
who obey the law and have some re-
,spect for public opinion and solemn
eath.5 &
5 Senator Higgins is in Europe hob
nobbing with the chief counsel for the
Pennsylvania railroadcompany, Wayne
McVeigh, Esq, but he should leave
the seductive McVeigh and disregard
all oyertures from the great monopoly,
and return at once to his home, for
the sole purpose of demanding and re-
ceiving the resignation of the man
whom the Editor OF the Morning Neps
designates as the Snarling Hound. y
That Bach is worse than many others
Of his class no one will say, but he
and his class must and will go down

Mr.. EDITOR :-Rumor says there is
a proposition to lay street railway
down the main street of Middletown,
from the depot to the eastern corpora
tion line, and to continue on to
Odessa.
understand for the privilege of
using the center of Main street, they
proposed to lay rails similar to the new
rails now being laid on Market street,
Philadelphia, SO that there will be an
iron rail track for carriages and
wagons. They also propose to shell
between the tracks and for two feet
out side of the track on each side so as
to make permanent macadamized or
shelled road, ten feet wide down the
center of the street and that the
charge for passengers will only be 3
cents each for all points within the
corporate limits or to the creamery or
the base ball grounds. Now if this be
true and we propose to offer induce
ments through our Board of Trade, to
out side capital and new business en-.
terprise, and manufactures of various
kinds, to come and locate in our town
to build it up and enlarge it /; and as
all large towns, introduce as soon as
possible street railways of various
kinds, self interest would suggest that
said franchise be granted, with reason
able restrictions as to the speed that
the cars shall be propelled through the
street and as to the keeping of the
said ten feet of shell road in permanent
good order SO that we will not be
compelled to drag through mud near
ly up to the axles every winter and
spring, in wet spells and when the frost
is coming out of the ground.
It will also be instrumental in in
ducing new capital and new enter
prises to come amongst US as it will
show we are progressive and trying to
keep abreast of the times. Lands are
held at very high prices near the depot,
which has turned aside from US
several large manufacturing enter
prises; this railway will open farm
lands at the eastern end of the town
near the creamery that are not held at
prohibitary prices. Taking it altogeth-
er it looks as though such a railway
might contribute largely in bens6ting
our town. I for one hope the Board of
Trade and the town commissioners
may consider the matter favorably.

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they

Catarrh is blood or constitutional dis

to take internal remedies. Halls Ca

directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure is no quack
medicine, 1t was prescribed by one of
the best physicians in this country for
years, and is regular prescription. 1t
is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
