It contained letters from Philadelphia

which reads thus: 1.-THE King VIII

SCRIPT, it is this, " Ten pounds re-
ward. Ran away on the 9th OF July
last from the subscriber, living in
Bonds Forrest, within eight miles OF
Joppa, in Baltimore county, an Irish
servant man named Owen McCarty,
about 45 years old. 5 feet 8 inches high
and of swarthy complexion, has long
black hair which is growing q little
gray, and a remarkable scar under the
left eye. He had on and took with him
when he went away short brown
coat made of country manufactured
cloth lined with red flannel, with
metal buttons, Oznabrig's trousers,
patched on both knees, a white shirt,
an old pair of shoes and an old hat.
He was soldier in some part of
America about the time of Braddock's
defeat and can give good description
of the country. Whoever takes up
said servant and brings him to Alex
ander Cowan or John Clayton, mer-
chants in Joppa, or>to the subscriber if
he is taken in the country, shall re-
ceive Eve pounds, and if out of the
country, the above mentioned ten
pounds as reward and consideration
for his trouble and expense. Signed,
Barnard Reilly" The paper is priced
very highly by its owner and
we'll it might be, for it is seldom you
find a paper 11S years old in our home
at this stage of time.

30th, / visited Chester, Pa. to thor
oughly look into the practical working
of an improved electrical storage
battery for motors for street cals. I
found that it had power to run one
light street car with considerable speed,
but that it required much time to
store the battery and considerable
manual labor and time to load it on
board the cars, and one or two high
priced electrical experts to manage the
whole plant; in fact too expensive to
run for a road with the limited amount
of travel and other business that the
road from Middletown to Odessa
would have. 1 therefore concluded to
carefully look into the workings of the
steam dummy line that had been run
ming in Philadelphia for over 25 years.
So on Friday, July 31st took a ride
over the line from Kensington avenue
and Cumberland street, 81 miles to
their depot in Frankford. Most of the
route was thickly built up with city
paved streets the whole way.
These steam dummy cars have been
for over 25 years running successfully
and satisfactorily both as to greater
economy than horses and te,oer accidents.
On the trip to Frankford, suppose
we met and passed together 300 horses
not one Of which seemed the least
frightened nor startled. Some were
country teams hauling manure to
their farms. On our return from
Frankford we passed between $50 and
200 horses, and I only saw one horse
at all startled, he was hitched to a
large country hay wagon along side Of
another horse, the latter did not mind
the motor, but the younger horse, as
the motor approached him threw up
his head and pulled up ahead Of the
other horse for perhaps / of minute
while the motor was within few feet
Of him, and as soon as it passed he was
quiet again.
These motors having been SO sue
cessfully run for SO many years, great.
ly encouraged me, and I feel certain
will give satisfaction to citizens of
Middletown.
The motors used so long on this road
are of very old style with the boiler
and engine at one end, while the steam
motor we propose using is great
Improvement on them, as it does not
have either engine nor wheels exposed
to view, but all are enclosed present
ing less point to frighten horses than
horse cars, as there are flaps coming
down on the sides to hide the wheels.
/ would like to patronize the electric
motor if they had been longer in actual
service and were past the experimental
stage, but as they are not an assured
success yet, caution whispers take
such motors as by years of successful
use has proved they can be depended
on.
We may never succeed in getting
our rail road built, but the prospect
seems brighter than ever before.

Monday afternoon, when The Officer
started to arrest him for shooting
craps'' he was shot by McVey, and it
is feared the wound will be fatal. The

Should Pryor die of his injury it is

The CHANCELLOR decided that to
place upon the tax duplicates the
names of 4, 1000 persons who claimed
that they had paid tax and who did
actually hold receipts for that tax,
would be an illegal act on the part of
the Levy Court. Certain persons,
members Of the Republican party, had
bought these receipts from the two
Wilmington collectors, the parties to
the deal buying and selling tax receipts
as merchandise, for their mutual profit
and convenience, and it was not un-
reasonable to suppose that after paying
$4,000 in cash that these Republicans
should strive to place the names of the
men whom they proposed to produce
at the polls upon the duplicates if
such a thing were possib BILE. The
whole matter is understood and it is
useless to 60 over it again, but some Of
the dangers to our system of popular
government from such transactions
may we'll be considered at this time.
In the important government offices
in Wilmington Senator Higgins has
placed well-known Republicans who
are noted for their sharp and not al.
ways correct political work. AS pri-
vate and confidential secretary he has
appointed Q man who is accused of
various political misdeeds which he is
unable to explain. These WORTHLESS met
by appointment in the post-office at
Wilmington the persons who sold to
them tax receipts in bulk, which re-
eeipts would be good for use at two
elections. Had the scheme worked
properly the men to represent the
names on the tax receipts would have
been hard to find as it is asserted by
those who are acquainted with the
facts in the case that many of the
names were taken from the tombstones
of the city, while others we're entirely
fictitious nevertheless man would
have been found for every name and
this county, as we'll as the State,
would not only have been at the mercy
Of the city Of Wilmington, but of a
degraded and ignorant class of the
voters Of that city.
