An Assertion That DeIaware's New Gov
ernor Can Neither Read Nor Write.

An Assertion That Delaware's New Gov
ernor Can Neither Read Nor Write.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Is The Record
says that Delaware in~augurated a Gov
ernor that can neither read write.
For the first time in the history Of the
State, there was no inaugural address,
and this, according to the Record, set
people to inquiring. Joshua Marvil
was the Republican candidate last fall
and was elected. He is a business man
of good repute, and worth at least
$3.50, 600. which he made by hard work
and shrewd investments. Marvl can
sign his name. Knowing his weakness,
the Record says he secured the services
of N. P. Smithers, a leading lawyer, as
Secretary of State, and Smithers will
virtually be Governor.
DOVER, DEL. Jan.-Joshua H. Mar
vii, Republican, took the oath of Office
as Governor of Delaware at 10 10 o'clock
yesterday, in the presence of members
of the General Assembly and others.
The oath was administered on an old
Latin Bible, by Judge David T. MarvI.
The new Governor made no address,
but will submit his views of the States
needs In writing to the legislature. The
ceremonies incident to the Inaugural
ton were very simple.

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
WILLIAMSBURG, N. @.
Ten thousand good Alliancemensin
North Carolina who will give one dol
lar each to the Alliance shoe factory at
once. I know we have the men, and
can get the money. Now to prove my
faith by my works, I hereby authorize
our PROGRESSIVE FARMER to head the
list with my name.
Now, brethren, all over this good old
State, / was one of the Manufacturing
Committee that formulated the shoe
factory, and I looked into the matter
CUeU before recommending it to the
Alliance.
The n. G. Alliance has done many
good things, but the shoe factory is the
best of it's undertakings. Now, breth-
rem, don't let us have many words
about it, but just one dollar each, and
the work will be done. Give me your
hand. br6tSher. through our PROGRESS.
FARMER. Ten En0usandd-ge9od
Alliance grips. I believe the Alliance
people of North Carolina are the best
Christian patriots that ever blessed the
earth.
Trust in God and do the right, and
all will yet be well.
I am not Only willing to give one dol
lar to the factory, but am willing to
give the remainder of my life to the
great, grand, and glorious Alliance
cause. F~raternaly,

the gentlemen from Massachusetts,
were a mere pretence.
Mr.. Money Dem. Miss }, speaking
for the free silver Democrats, denied
responsibility for the fault of the rule,
and charged it upon the Committee on
Rules, who refused to permit an under
standing to be had that a vote on the
Bland free silver substitute should be
taken.
Mr.. Catchings Dem, Mies.), de-
Tended, with some feeling, the action of
the Committee on Rules, saying it had
been dictated wholly by the instruc-
ton of the Democratic caucus.
Mr.. Reed rep, Me }, said that the
situation in a nutshell was that the
Carlisle bill fell of it's own weight, be
cause everybody recognized that it
could " have received the votes of
a majority of the House. The duty
that devolved upon the Democrats was
to give the government sufficient reve-
nues to meet expenditures, that would
restore the credit of the government
and relieve the general financial de-
preston.
Mr.. Simpson Pop, Kan }, raised a
laugh by stating that in view of the re-
luctance of the old parties to assume
Uu0 responsibility 4OE bu0 U0l06G Vi bQ0
Carlisle bill, he would be proud to take
it for the Populists. He would also
propose a plan for relief, as both the
old parties were backward in that re-
spect-use silver to pay government
obligations; coin the silver seigniorsge
in the treasury and issue treasury
notes.
MI. Bland Dem, Mo-, and Mr.. Nc
Rae, Dem, Ark }, also contributed to
the depression, which then closed.
Before the Indian bill was taken up
a number of unimportant measures
were reported from the Committee on
Military Affairs and passed, and the
bill to establish a national park on the
Gettysburg battlefield was made the
order of business for to morrow in the
morning hour.
In the absence of Speaker Crisp to
day, Representatives Dockery Dem,
Mo }, performed the duties of the Chair.
Among the bills passed was the House
bill authorizing the sale by the commits
sioners Of the Soldiers Home of what
isknown as the asylum Lot, " situated
on Paca Goula Bay. The tract covers
about seventy-1ve acres, and is worth
about S., 900 It was bought in 1853
and was abandoned in 1855, and has
not since been used.

A HoRRIFY1NG SPECTACLE.
A Husband and Wife Commit Suicide
Because of Destitution.

PAXTON, Neb., Jan. 16.-The com
munity was startled Monday morning
by reports brought in by neighbors
that John Harris and his wife, Ida,
were found dead at their home, eight
miles from here. The coroner left at
once for the place, where a horrifying
spectacle was disclosed. Mrs. Harris
was lying on the bed without any cloth
ing, with her throat cut from a to
ear, and the bed clothing saturated
with blood. John Harris, the husband,
was found lying on the floor, near the
foot of the bed, with his throat cut.
The orone employed a jury, and from
Investigations made it appeared to be a
case of premeditated suicide. The deed
was dona with a razor, which was
found lying on the floor. It was dis
covered that Mrs. Harris had partly
given birth to a child, and it is sup
posed that Harris gave her the razor
with which she cut her throat while
lying on the bed, he doing likewise Inn
mediately afterwards. Harris had cyl

and stepped outside after cutting his
throat, as a bloody trail was found on
the doorstep.
The following letter was found writ

that the Republicans were ready and
willing to support a proper measure.

ternoon of last week death relieved her
of her sufferings.
The suddenness of her taking off
proved shock 10 the entire community,
for Mrs. Wynan was looked upon by all
as the picture of health, and about the
last person one would expect to be so
suddenly overtaken by the Death Angel
She was a woman of noble character, and
Of such geniel good nature as to endear
her 10 all who knew her, and her many
good qualities of mind and heart made
her a universal favvrite. In her death
the community loses n most excellent
member of society, the church consis-
tent aud useful member, and the hus-
band a true, loving and greatly devoted
wife, in which great loss he has the deep
est sympathy OF all his neighbors.
Brief services were conducted at her
late home, by her pastor, Rev. J. V. Nc
Aninch Of the Presbyterian church on
Monday morning last, and the remains
were taken on the noon train to her
