1t has been generally believed IN Sussex county
that Goldsborough, the escaped murderer, had
gone 10 South America. Commenting on this
belief, the Milford Mutual Friend, of Saturday,
expresses doubts OF Its correctness, and says
gentleman from Frederick. of undoubted veracity,
tells it thGt he visited the hotel at Bowers Beach,
at about dusk on Thursday, April 2Sth. After
h,ving his horse put away the gentleman went to
the beach, and found there friend, and also an
acquaintance named McGlnnie, from the neigh
boihood of Magnolia. The three returned to the
hotel together, and there found four men sitting
at table playing cards.
McGinnis stepped up to the table and shook
hands with one Of the men, addressing him as
Bob Shortly afterwards the gentleman from
Frederick asked McGinnis who the man was he
had addressed as bob" BE answered that Il
was Robert Goidsborough, the mu, derer Of Charles
Marsh. He was told he must be mistaken, bnt
insisted that he could not he, as he and Colds

COLONEL McoMB AND OTHERS SUED FOR A
MILLION DOLLARS DAMAGES.
Numerous kilograms have recently been pub
ished concerning legal contest about railroad
In Louisiana, in which Colonel H. 8. McComb, OF
this city. Is interested, the last statement being
to the effect that Colonel McComb and others
have been sued by the Jackson Railroad Company
for 81, 900, 900 damages.
SO far as we can learn, the circumstances seem
to be "a follows -
The New Orleans jackson and Great Northern
Railroad Company had about 200,0 00O shares OF
city Of New Orleans together owned from 10000
TO 900, private parties abont 10000, and the
State If Mississippi the remainder. About 3d.
600 of the shares were controlled by T. I. Beau
regard, the ex rebel General who was elected
President of the road, the stock owned by New
Orleans and the two States named not being vot-
ed. Recently the stock owned by Louisville
and New Orleans were offered for sale aud
Colonel McComb, and few other capitalist
who control the Mississippi Central Railroad
with which this road makes connection, being the
highest bidders IL was sold to them. They thus
obtained a controlling interest in the road and
took charge of 1t,
Gen. Braurcgard and his party brought suit
against them alleging that they had obtained con-
troll OF their stock fraudulently. The snit was
not successful and the present action is now
brought by the same parties.
The fight is u purely business one, and would
not be of general public interest but for the fac
that much political feeling is sawakened by the apt
peas TO Southern sympathy by the ousted party.
The business men OF New Orleans, 1t is said,
sympathize with the Northern capitalists, believ-
lug 1t to be the interest of the city that the road
should be controlled by these with abundant
means to operate 1t, and able TO give 1t import
ant northern connections.

THE PIER At LEW Els.

In the United States Senate, on Wednes-
day, pending the consideration of land
grant to Western railroad, Mr.. Salisbury,
of this State, moved an amendment, that 2O0,-
600 acres be given to the Junction and
Breakwater Railroad, to aid In the con-
siruclion of Its pier, at Lewes, in Sussex
county. This was not bad idea; it was a
sensible suggestion though the first that
the Senator could be charged with, for a
long time, and in marked contrast with his
rambling defamation at Newark, on Saiur-
day.
But what we Nave specially to remark, at
this time, is the misfortune of Delaware in
not having a Senator who could have se-
cured favorable action on such PROPOSE
tion. Even Mr.. Salisbury had 20 aflirma-
tive, to 2S negative votes, yet who does not
know that he was the feeblest instrument
for the purpose that the State could have
chosen? We do not care to refer, here, to
the reasons why; they are notorious to ALL
Suppose for moment that Republican
Senator, an active and influential member
Of the body, had been present from this
State, does nybody doubt that he could have
secured reasonable aid to the Junction &
breakwater enterprise Nobody, surely,
can doubt, and the fact is new illustration
of the folly of sending Mr.. Salisbury to a
body, wherein Republican might do great
service to our State.

If the story we puhlish elsew here concerning
Goldsborough the escaped murderer, is correct,it
adds but another evidence of the carelessness OF
The officials with whose custody he was committed.
He WINS insutficiently guarded while under SEN
tence of death, and so escaped from jail. He re-
manned several days afterwards In The same coun-
ty, aud the Sheriff when notified of his where
abouls let several hours elapse before goiug to
hunt him, and after that he Travelled ltisnrely
across the Peninsula stopping once for an open
carousal at Denton, and fnally got away alto
gether. 1t now appears that he is still with a
number of boon companions hanging around our
shores. Goldsborough was convicted of one Of
the most cold-hlooded and deliberate murders
ever perpetrated, bis victim being a man from
whom he had received nothing but kindness and
who he murdered for money alone. Surely such
man ought not to he at large.

their family wants, and to this particular
class, desire to address myself.
No fruit should be taken from the tree or
plant during damp time, and especially,
when the dew is plentiful in early morning.
Never be so hurried as to find cause for
the excuse, Il had not time to hand-pick
my fruit, and consequently, was forced to
shake them off," for such is very poor poll
cy, and fruit, SO gathered, will almost inevi-
tably decay from the effects of bruises
Each specimen should be taken from the
tree, one by one, and handled as carefully
as If they had been go many eggs. The
slightest bruise or even abrasion Of the akin,
is the sure fore-runner of a dark spot, which
will eventually change into some form of
rot. The spores or seed of Fungi are al
ways ready to assist in the work of dissolu.
tion and the slightest scratch gives them a
foothold for their destructive work. Scarcely
any variety of the larger fruits color and
ripsn so well if left TO perfect themselves on
the tree, and especially is this true in..respect
to pears.
Summer varieties, as they approach ma
turity, loosen their hold somewhat on the
limb, and by gently raising the fruit, they
will easily detach themselves at the proper
period.
This is an excellent test, and may always
be relied on. To color up fruit nicely, all
that is necessary will be to spread blanket
on the floor of a cool room, and then thinly
and evenly place the fruit on the farm. A
second blanket must be spread over them,
and in short time the effect of this treat
mept will be apparent, in the most golden
colored Bartletts, and rich rdudy-looking
Seckels, imaginable. Pears perfected in
this manner rarely have tho mealiness of
their naturally ripened companions, nor do
they prematurely decay at the core, as when
left on the tree. Peaches are too frequently
gathered before attaining full size, and when
this is the case, we need not expect good
flavor. They must obtain this requisite be-
fore gathering, although it is not necessary
to delay picking until very mellow.
As general rule, all small fruits are
gathered too early, and as high color is not
sign of maturity, many inexperienced
fruit growers are frequently misled. Never
pick strawberries because they are red, ner
blackberries solely on account of their dark
appearance, each should remain on the plant
for sometime thereafter. The Albany seed
ling strawberry changes to deep crimson
hue, and gains continually in size after its
first coloring process, it is then soft and ex-
cellent eatinr. And so with blackberries in
like manner.-many complaining of their
extreme tariness. when The fault was in

THE STA TE CANVASS

Supplementing our editorial elsewhere,
on the Delaware U. s. Senatorship, we are
handed the following by some of our prom
inent colored citizens
TO OUR FRIENDS.
''In reference to paragraph copied from
the Washington Star, and to statements
made in the columns of the Philadelphia
Press, from time to time, informing the
public that certain colored men from Wash
lngton would be sent thence into this State,
to canvass in the approaching campaign, we
desire to say
81. That the leading colored men of Del
aware, expect to be consulted in reference
to the subject, when at any time IL may be
desired to have the operation of colored
speakers from abroad.
"2. That in the meeting Of one of
the National Bodies to which we look
for counsel, 1t was distinctly agreed that no
men should be sent into any State over
the heads of the resident, recognized State

from Washington has already been through

Ing to us as fire. Brand, and that know

THE =" WHITE MA N'H" CONTEN-
TION a FIZZLE


The call for Convention to form a
White Mans Party" at Dover, Thursday,
gave an opportunity to every voter in the
State, who was really exercised in mind
upon the subject, to participate in making
an organization on that basis. 1t presented
the issue of Color, pure and simple. If any
body considered that the prescription of
colored voters, and the refusal to accept
their cooperation, in the choice of public
officers, was the most important principle, in
Delaware, at this time, yesterdays Conven-
tion should certainly have had his support.
Yet, after all the blow, after all the sound
and Jury of the call, ths attendance at Do
Aer was so small, that those who had cone
were ashamed to attempt the organization
OF a Convention, and the whole thing fizzled
out
This is proof that the Democrats do not
make the question Of color the supreme and
sole issue. They keep back of it, their old
organization, their Ring rule, their corrup-
ilon, and their partisan trickery. If they
had meant "White Mans Party" why
didn't they take up with the call for it'
