Declaring That ne Was Not Guilty.
DOVER, DEL, Aug. flames 7.
Thoroughbred, colored, was hanged in
the jail here at 1880 this afternoon for
assault upon IN eiRht.year.old girl, the
daughter Of William Burlington,
colored, on Sunday morning, January
lS, 1885.
Thoroughbred was led from his cell
moaning and shouting and leaning
heavily on the arms OF his spiritual ad-
visors, DR.. Gibson and DR.. Jackson. He
was scarcely able towalk TO tho scaffo.d.
Rector Gibson read the service for the
man, but his voice was drowned in
Thoroughgood's piteous appeals to
heaven.
AS he walked, he kept his eyes straight
above him shouting "Glory to God"
He was assisted up the steps to the
seafEold, averting his eyes from tho
moose. After every preparation had
been made for the drop, Rev. Jackson
asked: Did you do it2 You know
what mean"
The negro on the verge OF eternity re-
piled: ~ am not guilty" Just as the
black cap was drawn over his head
Thoroughbred shouted, II am mot
guilty, thank God, and as stand here
on the scafFold 1 declare to God I have
never done injury to man or woman.
Living God have mercy on my soul.
Scarcely had the words died away
when the hatchet fell and the doomed
man shot through the trap. There was
some muscular contortions; but his
neck was broken and he was pronounced
dead in six and half minutes and cut
down in fifteen minutes.

An unfortunate thing about Mr.. Blaine
is that he is very much like the late Mr..
Burchard. He seems to be perpetually
saying something that keeps him ex.
planning for long time afterward. Such
a remark he made about the Mckinley
bill and it bore such marks Of hostility
to that measure, that the Democrats cap
tured it for campaign thunder. Then
Mr.. Blaine proceeded to explain; and
of course, very plausibly, as he has had
wonderful amount of experience in
that direction. But, we think it would
be decidedly better if Mr.. Blaine did not
himself create the necessity for so much
explanation. Burchard's example should
have impressed him more deeply.

mess begins and in the evenings after

truthfully said that an education is out

Our splendid school system, where one
can study by day or in the evening has
put the priceless treasure of an educa.

father and mother, who treats his sisters
and brothers with loving kindness, has
laid a good foundation for a successful
career. You will certainly do as your

be to study. Don't be in hurry to leave
your school books. The cares and re.

1t is matter for congratulatlon that in
the last election, both Of the contending
parties showed lively appreciation of
the value of the Afro American vote and
courted it with equal assiduity. In all
accounts of great assemblages, the
presence of an Afro American delegation
was circumstance deemed worthy of
special mention and extra pains seems
to have been taken to treat the delega-

readily name two or three Afro-Ameri-

their existence and derived their snp-

One type of woman who makes great
mistake about man is she who talks too

parcels and handkerchief for the pleas

to be queen in the eyes of the young
