New Castle, Aug. 6.--The deadlock
in the Board of Education over the
election of principal Of the town
school. ended last night. On the 10Sd
ballot the board selected H. v. Holli-
way, of Selbyyille, Del, to fill the posi-
ton. IN this way the most remark
able incident in the history of the New
Castle board terminated. 1t had lasted
for several weeks. and each side seem
ed determined not to give in.
The result of the election was some
what of a surprise. Since the deadlock
began the friends Of ]. T. Mitchell, one
OF the applicants, have been most ac-
tive. In the previous voting he re-
ceived only four votes on a majority
OF the ballots, and it was expected that
last night he would receive five and be
chosen. But to the surprise Of all Mr..
Holloway was elected.
AT the meeting Of the Trustees Of
tho Commons last evening, routine
business was transacted.

vised them that If they intended to
have a new wharf built to have some
one to draw the plans and make the

ways a great deal of trouble here in
this respect. Mr.. KINNEY said that he
bad told Mr.. Duffy. that the wharf
would cost $500. but he said last night
he thought it could be built for less.

gel lding the arc lights being out The
mayor will be asked to instruct the po-
lieeman to make a note Of every light

Gil. which would deduct the same from
