The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-03-08


Apology = Muchly Assessed Hugh
Curran-S9 Names Added to tho
Lists.
The little furry that took place yes
terday afternoon in the Levy Court
Seemed to have good effect, as there
was no trouble in the afternoon and
everybody seemed to be in the best OF
humor and large assessment was
the result. The only thing that ap.
preached disturbance of the peace-
full relations that existed was caused
by Assessor O'llara trying to have a
man named Hugh Curran of the
Fourth ward assessed for the third
time after he tOllaro) himself assessed
him twice before.
little disturbance and loud talk
was heard out in the committee room
where, the applicants stood in inennd
presently Mr.. O'IIara entered the
Levy Court room, and reported that
an attempt was made to push an ap-
plicant from the line. President Buck
ingham. who desires the strictest fair
play, went out to the committee room
and had Mr.. Hugh Curran put safely
IN line and requested all Republicans
to show the strictest impartially and
let each voter take his turn. Mr..
buckingham then returned to his seat.
1t was not long before the committee
room door opened and Mr. Hugh Cur
ran stepped i'll to get assessed and as.
SCISSOR OHalra stepped forward and
vouohed for him.
BY this time, Mr.. Clark, Mr.. Jolls,
Mr.. Hickman and Mr.. Eliason. having
examined the Fourth ward ASSESS
ment found Mr.. Hugh Curran already
f, on the lists in two places, without
being placed on third time Mr.,
Curran walked out and Mr. OHara
was told that he ought to be satisfied
with having assessed Mr.. Currnn twice
already without trying to put him on
third time.
As soon as Court was called in the
afternoon, President Bucking ham
stated that Clerk Biggs desired to say
q few words.
There being no objection, Mr.. Biggs
said; 'And they will only be a few
words. | have only to say that YOU
twelve gentlemen have stood bY me as
closely as any gentlemen could and
ask you and any others who are hero,
II ! used an improper word this morn
ing, have manhood enough In my
body to publicly apologize to any
member OF this court. This morning
was grossly insulted by a memter Of
this court. and II he has not manhood
enough in him to apologize tho same
as | have offered to do, then | will
hereafter consider it beneath my dig
nifty to notice him either MS a member
OF this Levy Court or as man."
The court then proceeded with the
assessments, putting Oh So names in
the lternoon which, with the 81 as
sessed in the forenoon made 10 for the
day. But for the little morning
breeze that took place, the number
would have run above 100. The fol-
