Delmar,
March 15. Delmar had a smallpox scare yesterday. Prof. Ira Allen, principal of
the public school, was taken sick and left on the 2 o'clock train for his home
in Seaford He had symptoms of the disease, and being from that smallpox
infested town, people here are somewhat alarmed.
The
remains of George W. Hearn, who was murdered at Harrington, were brought down
on the train yesterday.
Last
evening a surprise was given the Rev. W. W. Sharp by the members and friends of
the M. E. Church. In the afternoon he and his family were invited out to tea at
John W. Clark's, who resides about a Half mile from town. They returned about 9
o'clock in the evening, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Clark, and found stationed
in front of the parsonage the Delmar Brass Band, discoursing music, and about 200
people occupying the parsonage and grounds. A bountiful supply of ice cream,
cake, &c, had been provided, and with music, both vocal and instrumental, the
evening was pleasantly spent. Mr. Sharp was the recipient of a handsome chair.
