Lemuel Ely Quigg was raised in Del
aware, his father being Rev. ]. b.
Quigg, one OF the most prominent fig-
ures in the Wilmington Conference,
and his widowed mother resides on
Washington street, this city.
The people OF this state have watch
ed his rapid rise in both journalism
and politics in New York city with
much interest and will be pleased to
learn that, although he failed to secure
a reelection to Congress last Fall, he
was yesterday elected to succeed him
self as president Of the Republican
County Committee, which, as things 60
in New York is a more important posi-
ton than that of member OF the House
of Representatives.
Mr.. Quigg is only SO years old, but
has attained station in political life
unusual for a man OF those years. For
ten years he was a reporter on the
New York Tribune. He came under
the notice Of Thomas c. Plat, who rec
ognized his ability and proceeded tC
utilize II for the purposes OF the Re
publican party. Mr.. Quigg has a gif
both for speaking and writing, and h,
has also displayed capacity for politi
cal organization Three times he wal
elected to Congress. no small achieve
ment in the Democratic city. In 1So'
he bitterly opposed the nomination o.
Seth Low, and he was held in no small
degree responsible for the Tracy move
ment, which resulted in the election o.
a Tammany mayor. But this year Mr.
Quigg, in pursuance Of the more lib
eral and enlightened policy Senator
Platt has developed in the last two
years. is making overtures to the in.
dependents. His recollection as presi
dent Of the county committee is an en-
dorsement OF his plan OF a union o.
political forces against Tammany.

cupying a cottage at this beach all

very good but she was doing finely at

studies. Sunday night, contrary to her
custom, she expressed a desire to retire
early, and did so. causing her aunt to
feel some anxiety. Soon after retire
ment she complained OF being i'll and
breathing became difficult. DR.. Kit

lat the beach, was Immediately called
and did all he could for the little suf-
ferer. but she continued to grow worse
and passed away about 10 o'clock yes
terday morning. Death resulted from
valvular troubles of the heart.
Her father, who was with the Texas

ately telegraphed the sad news, but
could not reach Rehoboth as soon as
he expected, because of wrong railway
connections. The remains were sent
to the home of the Sigsbees in Wash

be kept until tomorrow, when inter
ment will be made at Annapolis, Nd.
Captain Sigsbee passed through this
city last evening on his way to Wash

The Worst Saw One Ever Saw.

The plays OF the Shaw company are
SO good and the performers in the
main SO efficient, that minor defects
are cheerfully ignored by an indulgent
and generally well-plcased audience.
1t may be we'll, therefore, to give a
prod, now and then, that may serve
the object of the infdel in the church
congregation to keep the minister up
to his lick" With this object in
view, the STANDARD rises to remark
that unless some improvement can be
made in the sawmill scene, in Farm
er Stebbins," it ought to be cut out al
together. 1t is pity to mar what
would, and should be, very sensa-
tional scene, by imperfect appliances
or careless acting. Those who saw
the realistic work of this act in Blue
jeans" some years ago, could but re-
gard the Shaw presentation as broad
and pointless farce. Better far 'twould
have been to have done as the late Ia
mented Keene once did in q neighbor-
ing city when playing in u hall that
was deficient in stage appliances. lie
simply enlisted the Imagination of his
auditors to supply what was wanting
in stage and scenic accessories. He is
said to have removed the "daubs" that

Jack Riley was acquitted Of the
charge OF grand larceny in the Super

he had L re-trlal, after conviction at

dence seemed to be direct and conclu-
sive, SO far as these points were in
volved, but unfortunately the State
could not show who the money be-
longed to, or that it had any owner.
Riley was convicted of larceny by a
jury last June, but a rehearing was
granted on the ground that it was al
lowed to separate without the usual
admonition against discussion of the
case outside the jury room. Riley was
held under an $500 bond for re-trial.

battlefield. Now that he has been
taken from us, mustered into the great
majority, we deem it meet and proper
not only to express our sorrow at his
loss, but to briefly recall a few of his
many virtues us q soldier and a citi-
zen. Our comradc received in his
youth liberal education. He was q
man OF culture and extensive reading.
For more than quarter Of century
he has gone in and out among the
people of this city, always acting well
his part. He was in every sense in
tensely American. A man of striking
PERSONAL---VERY. sincere and profound
convictions. Men of such marked
characteristics bind with hoops of steel
the strong, the brave and the unself-
ish. In sadness and sorrow we mourn
the loss Of our gallant cOmrade, but
not as those who have no hope.
While his spirit has taken its eternal
flight and its tenement of clay must
be consigned to mother earth, his
noble deeds of heroism on the field of
battle and his honorable example of
business integrity, cannot perish. In
future contingencies where national
or individual honor is at stake, the
younger generation battling for the
right will draw their noblest inspira.
ton from the life and deeds of such
men. In the walks of civil life he
was always conspicuous for his char.
ity, for his hatred of the oppressor
and his haste to extend the helping
hand to the weak as against the
strong. The poor and the downtrod-
den always found friend in him. No
unfortunate without means was ever
refused medicine at his place of bust
ness. No more liberal citizen was to
be found in this community. Any
business enterprise for the common
benefit requiring aid always found
him liberal contributor. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that no man in this
community has contributed as much
to promote the upbuilding and ma
terlal development of our city. With
such record we may we'll be proud to
honor him and in bearing testimony
to his worth we but honor ourselves.
Farewell to the brave comrade who
spilled his blood upon foreign bat
tlefield, who rushed to arms when the
integrity of the Republic was threat
ened, who shed his blood fighting in
the cause of civilization, that the great
principle of equality before the law
might not perish from the earth, and
that the civil and religious liberty we
received from our fathers might be
transmitted to our posterity unim.
