Police Court.

ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO KmL.-Allen Moulton
appeared before the Mayor, this morning. on q
charge Of assault with intent to kill b. +. Kauff
man. The testimony in the case showed
that Moulton was awakened in the night
by the supposed noise Of burglars, and seizing
pistol ran down stairs in search of the intru-
ders. He ran into several rooms in quest OF
those whom he supposed to be in the house, and
among the rest the room of Kaufman. Now,
Moulton and Kaufman had a disturbance some
time ago, and it was alleged that the action Of
the former was only a feint to obtain revenge
upon the latter-that his object was to provoke
an assault and in the melee to shoot Kaufman.
Moulton was therefore arrested and held in 5000
bond to keep the peace.

Swedish Immigration.
A NEW MOVEMENT IN REFERENoE TO 1T COMPLAINTS


NEW MOVEMENT IN REFERENoE TO 1T COMPLAINTS
AGAINST THE ORIGINAL ORGANIZATION.
Another Company for the importation Of
Swedish labor to Wilmington and the surround
ing country, is organizing it this city. It is
composed, we are informed. exclusively OF
Swedes, many OF whom have come to this coun-
try under the auspices Of Mr.. Malmsten, and the
wilmington Housholders' Association" Some
OF those in the new movement are dissatisfied
with Mr.. Mamlsten,, and complain Of the
charges which he, and those acting with them,
make for passage. The amount paid for this
has been $50 for each person from Gothenburg
(Swed0n, via Glasgow to New York, and thence
here. They claim that the actual expense is on
ly about $40. The new company proposes to
make no other charge than for passage, allow
ing those who wish to procure Swedish help to
obtain the passase tickets themselves, which
being placed in the hands of the Company, will
be duly forwarded to Sweden, and the order there
filled. The only extra charge made will be for
postage on the letters.
OF course, We express no opinion on these diff
ferences. The work of bringing over the Swedes,
thus far, has been entirely under direction of
Mr.. MAlmsten and his associates, and has been,
in its general results, decided success.

Tho Bone MIL Odor.

THR oLFAoToRIKs OF wILMINaroNIANs NO LONGER
TO BE TROUBLED by Ir-A SURE PLAN FOR IT'S
SUPPRESSION.
The unpleasant odors arising from the Bone
Mill, along the Ohristsna, and waited on every
south wind to the noses Of the entire city, have
long been the burden Of newspaper articles, and
young and tender poets made them the theme OF
their inspirations. No one pretends to question
the unwholesomeness Of the effluvia which have
iieen escaping from the MILL but the Messrs
Walton. WhAnn d Co. have been made the OBJ
jects Of much uncalled-for criticism. For some
time past they have been experimenting to sup
press the obnoxious odors, and did succeed, last
fall in their efforts but when winter set in their
apparatus was frozen up 30 tight that the rem
edy would be no longer applied.
Upon one, or probably, more, occasions, this
spring, has the effiuvium oppressed the people
OF this city, but it il now believed that II will
trouble them no more. strong south wind
prevailed, only few days ago, and no smell was
perceptible.
And now, then, word as to the manner in
which this odor has been overcome, but first as
to its origin. Many persons believe that dead
animals and earn of all kinds are ground up in
the bone mil, but such is not the fact. Thenearest
approximation to such a..thing use Of the bone
Of animals after the flesh has been removed and
from which no odor Of any kind escapes. These
odors proceed from and are the result solely of
chemical causes-the application of sulphurio
acid to fossil remains or the deposit of bone
This is dug out Of the earth as other deposits,
and forms the required per cent. in the fertili-
Ger which the Messrs. Walton i Whann r1anufac-
ture.
troubled by this SMELL but ii escapes into the
atmosphere above them. It is therefore pro-
posed to neutraize it, so that it shall trouble no
one. This is now being done, and will continue
to be, by collecting the eflluvia and forcing them
into a passage through which a shower Of water
is made to fall continually. It is the intention
OF the Messrs. w. W. Il 90. to introduce steam
pipes into this tower 80 az to prevent freezing
before another winter sets in, and also to build
another and larger tower, for the purposes Of
the present one. The experiment was not suf-
hciently satisfactory last fall to adopt perma-
nently before winter set in.

Enaian Treaty Protested.

WASHINGTON, May S.-The commits

copy Of the protest of j. Pesqulera, gov
eTnor of Sonora, to Governor Stafford. OF
Arizona, against what he supposes to be
stipulations Of treaty entered into be-
tween General o. d. Howard and the
Indian chief Cochise. Governor Pes
quiera recites list of murders and lesser
crimes committed by Coehise between
November last and March of the present
year, and claims that the treaty allows
Cochise to have free range in Mexico.
Commissioner Smith says this is an en-
tire mistake, as the treaty in no way re-
fers to Sonora or other Mexican terri
tory. It is true that atrocities have been
committed in Sonora by the Apaehes
as PesQuiera alleges, but If participated
in by any members of C0chise's band It
had been without Cocbise's sanction. as
all reports show that he has personally
coDformed in good faith TO the terms
and spirit of his treaty, though he may
have been unable to control the outlaws
