NEW CASTLE NEWS.
Correspondence Of the IshrusLrcAs.
NEW CASTLE, Jan. %.


New CASTLE. Jan. %.
New Castle was treated to the obnoxious
sight yesterday afternoon Of special Of
flcer from Wilmington walking around
our city under the influence of liquor. The
man came over on the afternoon train and
was taken off by directions of the conduc-
tor. 1t was good thing he did not come
i'll contact with certain persons with whom
no had Tits last summer at the base ball
grounds in Wilmington. Officer Morgan
received several complaints about his con-
duct towards tho school children. The
man was last seen going towards the
depot to tako the 36 train for Whining
ton. but he did not do So and his brother
came here in search OF him last evening,as
he is employed as a private Waterman,
Some person had the cheek to send
marked copy of q so-called paper marked
with red ink to the writer, Time is too
precious to waste on such sheet or the
sender Red, white and blue, stars and
stripes, make tho writer's flag tell his
choice of nations, and no English was
ever wanted or ever will DO wanted in
the writer's flag.
Now Castle isa great place for com.
plant. First the people complained Of
the poor light and the City Council
awarded the contract to the Electric Rail- :
way Company.
The latter Is as slow as New Castle In
getting the town wired and the lights in
position. Get move on you and let us
see how the arc lights do their duty.
This column is open to all patrons of
the paper but not the for purpose of abuse.
If man who is left without food and q
home by his sons Is owed money by City
Council and the road commissioners he
cannot DO helped to go to Bridgeton by
saying hard things In the New Castle
letter
The New Castle letter yesterday looked
as If the members of the militia had join.
ed the T. A b. Society. 1t was not the
fault of tho writer. He would not be
guilty Of saying that certain militia men
would be noble enough to join temper.
ance society. Such is life, however in
this world.
Mrs. Mary Weggenmann hold family
reunion last evening. Sixteen of her
children and grand children were present.
Those present enjoyed delightful time.
At the meeting of the A. o. U, w.
Lodge last evening four new members
were admitted and two members rejected.
The latter action was taken 1t Is stated
because the two applicants were Roman
Catholics, The matter will be aired in the
Grand Lodge as certain members made
certain statements unbecoming lodgemen
where men Of good moral character, able
t. earn q Observation-Disclosures in the Gre

themselves for death benefits.

The Principal Actors
The Democratic farce in three acts.
Tho drama was what is called a melo-
drama and was quite interesting, amusing
and at times very realistic. The scene
was laid in New Castle county, John Y.
Dickey and Woodward W. Cheairs were
the principal actors, while tho Legislature
furnished the scenes and accessories to the
play.
The Democratic party In New Castle
county met and nominated several candi.
dates for the Legislature amongst the
number being John 4. Dickey and Wood
ward w. Chenirs. Their names will be
printed on the official ballots and voted on
election day, the 9th of November. Here
the curtain falls and uhe scenery ISL put in
place for the second act
ACT II.
The election is held; Dickey finds he is
defeated, he coucocts u scheme TO have
himself counted in and zone colleague
counted out. He notified tne inspectors to
nieet him at the Young Mems Democratic
headquarters on Market street. The men
met AS arranged and some Of them pro-
tested. But the plan was so feasible and

munity from punishment bstore the
Court. they ut last consented to carry
out their part Of the deal. 1t was really
necessary Tor Dickey to go to the Legisla.

count IN James + Toman. The In.
sprclors were tried to be persuaded out of
this idea brt they would not listen to any
thing said to them. They had made up
their minds that Dickcy could be countedin
although he lacked few votes of beating
Ch2nirs honestly, and they were as dc.
lcrmnci to count in Toman, and they
would have succeeded If two Of their in
spcctOrg had not gone back on them, ge.-
