At this season Of the year. when hun
dreds upon hundreds Of negroes flock to
the several parts OF our country. bad
temper and riotous acts have been a
sequence OF the gatherings, but the race
riots IN Townsend. and Greenwood the
past week have gone a little farther in
making trouble than heretofore recorded.
II seems that the negroes will congregate
in the nearby towns of evenings, especial
~ Saturday evenings and with whiskey
and bad feeling. bad negroes are more
than likely TO make disturbances. In the
towns where this wandering element of
negroes congregate more than the usual

The question of sewerage FOR George
town IS one of constantly increasing im-
portancc. Since the establishment Of tho
water plant the volume of water used Is
very much larger than ever, and the Ia
oiitcs for getting rid Of il should be

should be taken by our citizens as soon
as possible looking TO the Improvement
OF our sanitary conditions and proper
persons should be consulted as 10 the

tained We understand tnat engineers
have said that the expense would not b,
near so large as has been estimated. aud
that the town is able TO contract for the

as being a necessity that should be nc

1t Is q source Of qualification to those
interested 10 the Lewes Union school to
learn that two pupils Of the Lewes school
passed an examination that was too DIFF
ncul for two pupils of the Wilmington
High School. This does not mean that the
Wilmington High School is a poor school
for the Wilmnston High School has a
splendid reputation; It means rather that
the Lewes school is a most excellent one.
In this connection we wish 10 refer our

Bad Railroad Wreck.

Denver Aug. IA Central City dis.
patch last uight says: One of the
worst wrecks in the history OF the
Central City and Black Hawk branch
of the Colorado < Southern road oc-
Cured to a freight train at 3:15
O'Clock this afternoon, causing the
death OF Engineer William Allen of
Denver and John Ferguson, section
boss, of Black Hawk.
The accident happened on reverse
curve about one and a half miles be-
low Smith hill and mile west of Cot
tonwood, the engine leaving the track
on the right side and falling down an
embankment about twenty feet into
a portion of the dry bed of North
Clear creek, both cab and tender
turning over, leaving the engine
wheels IN in the air.
Engineer w. NJ. Allen and Section
Boss John Ferguson were caught
partly under the cab of the engine
and their death must have been in
Simultaneous, Allen being crushed
about the head and upper part of the
body, while Ferguson evidently was
suffocated, being completely covered
by sand and dirt.
Engineer Allen, when uncovered,
was still holding the broken end of
the air valve, having stuck to his post
to the end. Fireman Abe Golightly
of Golden, a brother-in-law of Engi
neer Allen, escaped. being thrown
about ten feet from the engine when
1t turned over, and escaping with
few scratches and minor bruises.
General Superintendent j. II. Young
believes that washing of water along
the track weakened it and that this
was the cause of the wreck.

To Reproduce Custer Massacre.

Portland. Ore, Aug. There have
been spectacles and spectacles. but 1t
is reserved for the management of the
Lewis and Clark exposition to create,
perhaps, the most startling and inter
esting of ala reproduction of the
wiping out of Custer's band of United
States regulars at the fight on the
Little Big Horn river, in the summer
of 1876. This event. which has gone
down into history as one of the great
tragedies of warfare, will be given a
setting as realistic as it is possible to
make by employing real Indians and
real soldiers to perform the sham bat
tie tactics necessary.
A band of 200 or more Umatilla In
dians from the government reserva-
tion in Oregon will take the place OF
the bloodthirsty Sioux who killed Gen.
eral Custer and troopers. For Custer
and his men the soldiers on the
grounds will answer. The fight will
take place on exposed ground in the
exposition area. where it may be wit
messed by all those in attendance Au-
gust 10th. The Indians will press
closer and closer until the last man
falls and the tragedy Is complete.
Though no scalping will be done, as
in the real massacre. the yells of the
Indians and the cracking of their
