THE Euery Eusniag is again en-
gagged in an effort to lead its readers to
believe that desire for an economical
administration Of county affairs is the
controlling influence which leads that
paper TO pursue its usual course OF mis-
representation. The last erratic and
senseless article which relates to st.
Georges Hundred appeared under giar-
ing headlines last Monday, and is en-
titled ssOld st. Augustine Bridge"
Some corr espondent who is seemingly
very much interested in county affairs
writes great many things concerning
which he is evidently Ignorant. The
TRANSCRIPT is ready to furnish the
Euery Evening with some information
which is founded on fact as we'll as to
prove the untruthfulness of certain
statements made in the article referred
to. We do not deny that mistakes
have been made in the management OF
the bridge, and that considerable
money has been lost there in various
ways, but we are prepared to prove
that the bridge is in the proper place,
that strong tides buriened with ice do
not break it down, that an inferior
quality Of planking is not being used
in repairing, that the great majority OF
people in this hundred would not like
to see it abandoned and that it is not
there for the sole convenience Of four
or FIVE g farmer families" The Della
ware Neps is right in saying that
"the people of New Castle county will
soon demand that the Levy Court take
some action relative to Augustine
brldge,n but that action need not be in
the direction indicated by the Eeery
EUeaSag.
When the Euery EUening becomes
alarmed fot the safety Of county
money the application Of that paper
for more than one thousand dollars Of
county funds with which to pay for
private advertising scheme should be
remembered. This will apply because
q staff correspondent wrote the article
relating to Augustine bridge. and the
EUery Evening is therefore responsible
for the statement made theriu. AS to
the facts in the case they are set forth
in another column.

Pleasanton's Fred and McCoy's
Red Cedar were about evenly match
ed and the contest between those two
was particularly exciting. Of the
first four heats each horse had won
two and the interest was at a high
pitch when they started on the fifth
and deciding heat. Fred led all the
way around the first half, but on the
second half Barnes urged Red Cedar
on and he responded nobly. AS they
turned down the home stretch Fred
was still leading, but Red Cedar
drew nearer and nearer until the
horses were neck and neck. When
within few yards of the line both
broke and as they had not caught
when they passed under the wire
the judges decided the heat a draw.
Mr.. Pleasanton claimed that his
horse caught in time to trot under
the wire, thus winning the heat, and
refused to allow him to trot again.
In the free-for-all class Fascination
and Grover c. had the race all to
themselves and the contest was a
very pretty one. The sorrel stallion
generally kept the lead until the last
quarter when the bay colt slipped
past and came under the wire ahead,
generally winning only by a few
yards.
The quarter-mile dash was won by
Will. Hall. Time, minute and 10

PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-The large
cotton and wooden mill operated by
Campbell & Elliott, at the northeast
corner of Twelfth and Washington ave-
nue., was completely destroyed by fire
last night causing loss of over half
million dollars. The fire was one of
the most disastrous ever known in that
section of the city. Discovered at three
minutes after 9 o'clock, within less than
an hour two immense buildings were
completely gutted, while third was a
prey to the flames. The brilliancy of
the illumination lighted up the streets
for many squares around and was seen
from all parts of the city, drawing a
crowd of many thousands of people to
the city.

Abandoning Their War Paint

CHICAGO, July 25.-Captain Huggins,
of General Miles staff, has returned here
from trip to the agencies in the Sioux
reservation. He reports that the Indians
have about wholly abandoned the idea
of war and have gone back to their old
pursuits. Their country, however, is
cursed with drought and crops are al
most total failure, and have been for
the past three seasons. The consequence
is that many of the Indians are now de-
pendent on the government. Many
farms, which both Indians and whites
have attempted to work, are deserted.
Outside of the reservation crops in the
Dakotas are very fair.
