Campaign managers in Wilmington in
serted display notices in the morning pa
pers to-day-"If you hear fire-aIarm bell
ring ) twice go to A c. L. depot" The
purpose Of this was TO have the people on
the alert so that the moment a telegram
announcing trouble at Rose-Hill was re-
ceived a special train of armed men could
start at once to the relief of the DEM
ocrats. Red-Shirts and others who it was
expected would be opposed by Populsts
certain anti-amendment Republicans and
negroes.
\ large number of business men carried
their Winchesters with them TO their Of
fees this morning SO that they would be
ready TO go to the depot at once. How
ever, the alarm was not sounded. as the
trial passed off with comparative quiet
and Williams, the registrar. was &C
quilted.
Defendant represented by Co'. Hlns-
dale and j. O. Carr. Esq. and c. NJ Ber-
nard, United States District Attorney,
represented prosecutions.
CLASH NARROWLY AVE.RTtD.
A clash was narrowly averted early in
the trial by proposal of Commissioner
Mallard, to have trial behind closed doors
The Red-Shirts ard Democrats generally
raised a storm of noes. The indignation
was so strong that the court appealed 10
the Democrats for protection.
Quiet was restored aid trial proceeded.
On the witness stand the negroes ASberry

and Arthur Graham on whose atiidavits
the warrant for the registrars arrest was
issued. completely reversed their evidence
and said that the registrar had not re-
fused to register any negroes to their

the crowds of Red-Shirts dispersed for
their homes tonight.

Just achieved the remarkable distinc.
ton OF having been renominated by
acclamation for the sixteenth time to

several times, but from such unani-

The general listened to so many can
non in the civil war that he has heard
little since. He is quite deaf. and con-
versation is carried on with him only
by considerable effort. The other day

him: General, how do you manage

began to read a newspaper. As the car
reached the Criminal Courts building
nine passengers got on board. Fare"

the running board. The man with the
newspaper solemnly reached into his

and handed it to the conductor. As
the car turned into the Bowery the
conductor called out Fare, please"
Again the man went through the Same

came the cry: Fare, please" as the
conductor passed along collecting the

not withdraw his hand as quickly as
before, but continued to search. Fin

Health aad Condition Of Horses.
A recent government report treats
of the health and condition OF horses
for the year ending March 81. 1t SUM-
marzes as follows:
Losses-Of the 10 states each est!-
mated to contain 100000 horses or up
wurd. all except Missouri report losses
from disease somewhat less than those
ct the preceding year. The year 1885,
SO, however, was characterized by a
rate Of mortality slightly higher than
that Of any previous year for which
figures are available, and accordingly
comparison OF the year now under
discussion with the ten-year average
is less satisfactory. Ohio, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas
report rate of mortality below their
respective ten-year averages; in the
case OF Pennsylvania and Missouri the
percentages Of loss agree exactly with
the ten-year averages. while in New
York and Illinois they are slightly
above such averages.
Condition.-The condition OF health

high, being only 3 per cent below the
normal. ~ compared with Sc per cent

Making . Natural Starter.

The method OF making this natural
starter Is simple. There may be vari-
GUS plans. but one which is satisrac-
tory enough is as follows; perfectly
healthy COW from cleanly, well kept
dairy is selected. After the under parts
OF the body are carefully brushed, and
the udder moistened with damp
cloth, the first few Jets OF milk from
the teats are rejected, and the rest is
drawn into a sterilized vessel. This is
then covered at once and taken to the
dairy, heated to proper temperature
and passed through separator. The
sklm milk thus obtained Is again COL
lected in sterlized vessel, carefully
covered. and set aside to sour. After
1t mas become properly soured it serves
as starter for the cream ripening
process. OF course there are many
other methods Of obtaining a natural
starter, for natural starter is moth
Ing more than lot of skim milk or
whole milk obtained under specially
cleanly conditions from an exception

naturally.
