New CASTLE LEGISLATIVE NOMINA-
TIONs TO BE MADE SEPTEMBER H.
The Republican Executive Committee
for New Castle county has decided to
hold the nomination election for legis-
lative candidates on Saturday, Septem-
Der II. There are seven representa-
tives and one senator to be nominated,
and as there are eleven hundreds in
the county, it became necessary for the
committee to decide from which hun
dreds the prospective legislators should
be taken. This was accomplished by
leaving New Castle and Blackbird
hundreds entirely out of the question,
and as White Clay Creek and St.
Georges hundreds each have a hold
over senator-JOhn Pilling and James
McMullin-the committee decided that
the remaining seven hundred should
have the honor of naming the eight
candidates. OF these, Wilmington
hundred was allowed one senator and
one representative, aud one represen-
tative was accorded the following hum
dreds: Brandywine, Christiana, Mill
Creek, Red Lion, Pencader and Apo

A Dover correspondent ofthe Sunday
Star wrote as follows:
There is trouble in the social circle
of Camden's 400" In fact it is very
serious affair to the gallants of our
little Quaker neighbOr, Camden. The
young men of Dover, as usual, are in.
volved. The trouble began about ten
days ago, when all the members of the
400" were enjoying the aroma of the
king crab and salt marsh at kits
Hammock. For some reason the
young men of Dover went to the beach
every night while the party was there,
and tits said that the young gentlemen
of Camden, who were also there, occu-
pied the time in keeping mosquitoes
out ofthe headquarters of the party,
instead of patrOlling the beach with
their favorite girls. Things became
worse all the time for the Quakers,
while the Dover gallants were actual
ly cOnquerOrs of the day. Finally the
Quaker lads made a solemn promise to
ignore their former sweethearts in all
the society events of the future They
struck, and it looks now as if they
would hold out. They never speak as
they mingle on 'the corner" now, but
every night the adjoining town is the
Mecca of our gallants.

JULY AND TAX Saturday
wound up the collection of county
taxes in Wilmington for July, under
the regulations laid down in the Five
Commissioner Act. July was the prin-
cipal month for Wilmington. There
will be other snatches of opportunities
offered from time to time, from now
until the election on the eighth of
November, more or less at the option
of the Receiver of Taxes. Mr.. Dickey
started to collect taxes in the rural
hundreds on Monday, giving each
hundred two days of his time in Aug
ust, and whatever time he has left he
will devote to Wilmington, but those
times are very uncertain and may not
be generally known to Wilmington

AS rain-maker the Rev. w. R.

has achieved local reputation which
will possibly cause General Dryenforth

pondent writes that Mr.. McFarlane
prayed for rain last Friday night, and
within an hour storm came up that

BIG TINE OVER A THREsHING MA
CHINE.-On Wednesday afternoon a
law suit was held before Esquire Cul-
len, in Reedy's Hall, that involved
score of the best farmers in Milford
Neck. The origin of this trouble was
in the question as to where a thresher
should go from the farm of John Pass
waters. John Sipple desired to have
the machine go to his house, and others
along the route objected, and insisted
that the route be finished as the ma
chine passed-this is the substance of
the grievance. Mr.. Sipple got an
order from the owner and went to
Passwaters' place to serve it upon the
man in charge of the machine, but the
farmers present and assisting Mr..
Passwaters thresh, claimed objection to
this procedure on Mr.. Sipple's part.
He insisted that his demand should be
complied with, and his persistence an
gered the men. Mr.. Passwaters final
ly ordered Mr.. Sipple off his place.
Bad temper began to boil over on both
sides, and in short time Mr.. Sipple
was chased from the yard. Some one
threw brick at him, others threw
sticks and some one hit him. This re-
suited in his making charges of as
sault against six farmers, and the sum-
mOning of about fifteen more as wit
nesses.
The first case was against William
Webb, and he was fined $40 and costs.
The other five were either cleared or
dismissed. We are informed that the
defendants in this suit have now
brought suit against John Sipple for
trespass and damages, claiming they
had to stop the machine on his Occount
putting them about day behind with
their work. Trouble is likely TO ensue
from this suit yet.-MiLford NelUs.
