A GH.iSTLF FIND.

The Dead Bodies of Man and n Dog
Discovered in the Woods Near Dover.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
DOVER, July 19.-George Morgan
started in search of huckleberries yes
terday morning, but returned home
much faster than he expected. He
wandered into the thick woods known
as Fnxhall, near town, but in u short
time discovered peculiar odor. Upon
investigation he found that it was from
the body of u badly decomposed man.
Nearby also were the remains of dead
dog. The human body was so badly
decomposed that it was not recognizable
nor was it possible to decide whether
the body was that of white or colored
man. Morgan notified Deputy Coroner
Butler and an inquest was held this
morning. A dead body was found in
almost the same place about one veal
ago. The identity of the body has
never been proven and how 1t got there
has always been mystery.

The Aged Victim of the Accident at
Newiin's Crossing Able to Leave the
Hospital.
Samuel Eastburn, who was injured
on the B. g. O. railroad at Newlin's
crossing, about two months ago, has en-.
tirely recovered from his injuries at the
Delaware Hospital and left that insti-
tuition few days ago for his home in
Mill Creek hundred.
Eastburn, it will be remembered, was
driving to Wilmington with his niece,
Miss Ella Gertrude Collins, when the
south-bound Royal Blue express struck
the wagon in which the couple were
riding, throwing the occupants to the
ground and reducing tic wagon to
kindling wood. Miss Collins had both
legs broken by the fall and her death
resulted from shock the evening Of the
day on which the accident occurred.
Mr.. Eastburn sustained broken leg
and had his left forearm dislocaied.
A strange coincident connected with
the young girls death is the fact that
her friends remember that she had a
premonition that death would oveItake
her at an immature age and that she
would not live to see her 10Th birthday.
1t was stated shortly after the acct
dent that the relatives of the girl pro-
posed to institute proceedings against
the b. s. o. Railroad Co. for damages.

the grounds, towering plants skirted
the yerandah, the word "Welcome" in

An Elaborate Annirersai Celebration by
Globe lodge, l. o. o. r., oil that Town.
Special Correspondence f ttaaetinand Journal
BRIDGEyIhLE, July 1D.-'rhe fourth
anniversary celebration of Globe Lodge,
|. o. o. F., yesterday, drew at least
800 visitors to town. The town took
on a holiday attire, flags and bunting
being prominently displayed. The pro
gramme began with the baseball match
between Seaford and Bridgeviile, in
which the former were slain with ease.
A lengthy parade was formed in the
afternoon and marched through the
principal streets. 1t was headed by the
Milton Cornet Band, followed by mem
bers Of the visiting lodges, speakers of
the day, floats, children in wagons, &c.
The parade broke ranks at the pic
mic grounds, when the Revs. j. S. Willis
of Milford, A. A. Green Of Greenwood,
J. S. Wickline and Alexander Gilmore
delivered appropriate addresses.
In the evening J. Edison Potts of
Wilmington, Grand Master of Della
ware; Dir. E. W. Cooper, Camden,
Grand Representative to the Sovereign
Grand Lodge, and G. c. Naylor, Past
Grand Master, spoke on Oed Fellow
ship.
The grand display Of fireworks billed
for the evening did not materialize, OF
the first set piece that was fired proved
so dazzling or SO bewildering thatit must
have blinded the eyes Of the on-lookers
who could not then enjoy the serpentine
rockets, the copious showers of pris'
matte sparks and the grandeur and sub
Unity Of Niagara's massive waterfall.
There was row in the afternoon
during the progress of ball game be.
tween the Bfidgeville and Greenwood
junior clubs. The fight was between
persons not connected with either club
but town boys and those living near thu
Delaware line. The latter got thei
forces together in the evening, deter
mined to take the town, but they wert
disappointed, as the town sluggers soor
vanquished them.
The Odd Fellows will apply tn
money received from the days enter
tainment towards building hall.

Trying to Delude ProhibitiOnistS Into
Voting for Marvil for Governor.
Special correspondenceo OF Gazette and journal
LAUREL, July t9.-The plans OF the
Republicans are developing new
species of trickery. Mr. Joshua H.
Marvil, the prospective candidate for
governor, has often expressed his devo.
ton to the temperance cause and has
frequently solicited Democrats to join
the Prohibitionists and cast their votes
to encourage that struggling party, yet
he has studiously avoided wasting his
vote on prohibition.
Now it transpires that Mr.. Marvil's
expressions of temperance sentiment are
to be used as bait to decoy the Pro-
hibition vote into the Republican column,
with the assurance that in his position
as executive if elected) he will be a
power in behalf of temperance legisla'
ton. Happily for the Prohibitionists
this scheme has been discovered 80 early
that it can scarcely be successfully
operated.

REQUEST FROM THE II. OF L.

City Departments Petitioned to Give
Their workmen Shorter Hours in Order
That More Men May Share the Public
Money.
Assembly No. 5,217 met Thursday
evening and committee was appointed
to call upon the various city depart
ments and ask them to adopt the nine
hours system for their employees. The
committee will call upon the depart
ment as soon as possible.
1t is explained that the idea of the
assembly in asking for the reduction in
hours is in order that others than those
now employed may have opportunity
in sharing in the distribution of public
money. 1t is hoped that through the
shortening of hours more men would be
employed and more families thereby
benefited. d.
