PRINCIPAL LeFEVRE GETS
APPOINTED TO CAMBRIDGE
UNANI MOUSLY ELECTED THE HEAD OF
THE CAMBRIDGE, ND, SCHOOLS.
Was Successful Over Fifty Applicants and His
Election Was Made Without Dissent
ing Vote on the First Ballot.

At a meeting of the combined Boards |
of Trustees of the Cambridge, Md,
Female Seminary and High School
last evening, Mr.. Charles Howell
LeFevre, of this town, was elected
principal over some fifty applicants.
There are two separate institutions in
Cambridge, one known as the Cam
bridge Female Seminary and the other
the Boys High School. Each has its
separate Board of Directors, but in
the election of Principal, the Boards
unite and elect one principal to super
wise and manage both schools. The
membership of the combined Boards
number twenty-five, and last evening
Principal LeFevre was elected on the
first ballot unanimously. Schools will
open there next Monday.
Principal LeFevre was recently at
the head of the Salisbury, Md, Pub
lie Schools, but was unceremoniOusly
deposed in shameful manner by the
Board of Directors of that city in or
der to place in ''home" man who had
'pull'' on the political ring in the
Board. Mr.. LeFevre was thus broken
faith with, and was thrown out at time
of the year when there was but little
or no chance of his getting a place.
Fortunately for him the Cambridge
principal resigned to accept a prOfes-
sorship in a Baltimore college, and the
chance was one in fifty for Mr.. LIE
Fevre as his successor. The action OF
the Board last evening is high COM
pliment to Professor LeFevre's abil
ity as a teacher and instructor
3 The salary is 800 a month for nine Of
9 ten months. Principal LeFevre was
notified by telegram of his election
and this morning h e received lette
from Mr.. Thomas E. Wright, secre
: tary of the Board of Trustees, stating

FAIR SCHOOL MARMS ARE SCARCE.
General Opinion is That They are Marrying Off
Rapidly in Lower Delaware.

The following communication ap-
peared in Wilmington contemporary
Monday: "School teachers are scarce
in lower Deloware for the first time in
recent years. Prof. James Carroll,
superintendent of the public schools
for Kent county, will hold another ex-
animation next Saturday III Dover to
endeavor to qualify enough to tax e up
the work for the ensuing year. The
greatest scarcity seems to be among
the first and second grade teachers and
the general opinion is that the fair ped
agogues are marrying off, since the
census developed that there were many
more men than women in Delaware.
The fair teacher of another State is
therefore sure of good living in Della

HORSE THIEVES ABOUT AGAIN.
Teams OF Edward Mcdowell, Smyrna, aad W.
D. Hudson, Clayton, Taken the Past Week
But the Former Was Recovered.

On Thursday certain parties hired
team of E. W. Mcdowell, he leaving
them to put the horse up when they
came home. They were in attendance
on the colored baseball game at Mid
dletown. Some time later the horse
was taken from the stable and hitched
to another carriage and was gone all
day Friday, Mr.. Mcdowell not know
ing where it was until it was found
Saturday morning hitched under the
shed at the store of VIM. E. Hall &
Son.
Saturday evening there was a sim
liar transaction, only it was about 8
o'clock, from the front of the store of
VIM. E. Hall & Son. The team be-
longed to VIM. D. Hudson, living near
town. Sunday morning Mr.. Hudson
drove down to the camp meeting, near
Millington. A great many teams were
there, but Mr.. Hudson found nothing
like his. Mr.. Pinder, the manager a.
"Woodlawn, who had lived with Mr.
Hudson before going there, went il
another direction, and when neal
Green Spring, or rather "Hoogie, h
saw in front of the residence of col
olored man a carriage he recognized
as Mr.. Hudson's, and going to the sta
BILE he found the horse. How did i
get there was the question? The NAL
said he found the team wandering il
the road alone, and he had put tn
horse in his stable to protect it fo
whoever might he the owner. 1t is t
be hoped that the miscreants who thu
take other peoples teams will h
caught and made to suffer the full el

RAIN FALL MEASURED $4,000 BARRELS.
Merchant Makes Calculation on Amount Of
Water Which Fell in Smyrna.

One of our merchants of mathemat-
ical turn of mind, in the midst of the
rain on Saturday morning, when the
people were staying in their homes to
keep out of the wet, or at least not
bothering the man behind the counter,
took his pencil in hand to make little
calculation. He presumed that about
an inch of water had fallen. Having
the weight and measurment of water,
the balance was readily obtained

PROBING FOR CORRUPT CONTRACTS.
Vigorous Movement to Expose Municipal
Fraud In the City of Wilmington.

Peter j. Ford, late Democratic can
didate for Governor, is behind the
movement that has developed in the
Democratic League for investigating
the affairs of the city of Wilmington
and New Castle county, and there is
likely to be large stirring up.
Mr.. Ford is a member of the Citi-
zens' Committee appointed to begin
the probing, and it is said an investi-
eating committee will be named to find
out, if possible, if crooked contracts
have been made. Mr.. Ford, who has
large interests in Wilmington, believes
that county and city affairs should be
run on business principles and that il
Is about time the people were waking
up.
There are several movements under
way to get at the bottom of things,
and much will depend on what the in.
vestigation of Attorney General Ward
into the affairs of the Levy Court will
develop. There will be no disposition
on the part Of the Republicans to shield
the Levy Court, and their leaders have
already disayowed responsibility fol
that body's actions.

REV. CHARLES POTTS IN A LAW SUIT.
Smyrna COlOred Preacher Brings Suit Against
the Daughters of TheO. F. Cook.

The Rev. Charles Potts, the colored
man who dared take issue with the
Judges of the Delaware courts while
testifying in the Smyrna election cases
and say that elections in Delaware
were stolen and she really had no gov
ernment, distinguished himself Mon
day by issuing warrants for the arrest
of two pretty white girls, the daugh-
ters of Theodore F. Cook, a well-known
citizen.
The girls were taken completely by
surprise when served with the war
rants by Constable Smith, one charg
ing trespass and, the other larceny.
They were taken before Magistrate
Wood at Dover, where John B. Hutton
Esq, appeared for them, and, after an
amusing hearing (for all but the
young women) they were discharged.
Mr.. Cook owns a fine little fruit farm
near Dover, and only a few hundred
feet from the State College for Colored
Students. Potts has two grandsons
hungering for an education, and in
order to encourage them, Potts got a
license to move into the house on Mr..
Cooks farm, hearing that he proposed
to vacate and reside in Dover. Potts
was simply to occupy a part of the
dwelling, and keep the other in good
order.
When fruit season began Mr.. Cook
thought he would move out for a few
weeks and occupy the other parts oi
the house, and enjoy, fresh from the
orchards, the products thereof. The
girls, they claim, found things in baG
order, and, after cleaning up their por
J tion of the house, went into that occu
pied by Potts and overhauled it. Pott;
went to the orchard and began pickins
peaches, but the family promptly stop
ped him and declared that was not Ill
J the contract. Some corn was gatheret
for dinner, and then it was Potts turn
and he hurried into Dover and ha,

TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE COMBINED.

sufficiently to take the management of
both lines. As announced previously,

AMONG OUR DIFFERENT CHURCHES.
Rev. w. F. Lutz, of ST. Marh's, Philadelphia,
at St. Peters Last Sunday-AnnOunce-
ments For Presbyterian Church.

Last Sunday was day of delightful
temperament, and free from rain.
Rev. w. F. Lutz, rector of st. Marks
Church of Philadelphia, very pleas
ingly filled the pulpit of St. Peters
Church, morning and evening, in the
absence of Rev. g. Valerie Gilreath,
who is enjoying his vacation at Sara
toga Springs, n. Y.
At Asbury NJ. E. Church, the pastor,
Rev. V. S. Collins, discoursed on the
two first verses of the sixth chapter of
the Revelation. The sermon showed
that the mixed metaphors of St. John
can be adroitly used as the basis of u
graphic and at the same time practical
| lesson to the listener.
The Presbyterian Church, in the alb
sence of their pastor, had only congre-
gatiOnal worship Sunday. Next Sun
day Rev. John p. Burdette, of this
town, will conduct services and preach
the sermon.
Rev. G.. L. Hardesty filled his three
appointments on Smyrna Circuit, but
finds that Sunday in the country is as
lazy a day about going to church as it
is in the city, unless 1t be in going to
a meeting in the woods.
