EATEN Up BY Hoes.-A few days
since John Mcnamara, a Farmland
working near Lincoln, Nebraska, went
to the house Of Mike Maloney in a sad
plight. He had been on a drunken
spree, laid out all night, and his clothes
were wet through. He got breakfast
and went away, saying he would lie
down in the shade. On the Goth his
remains were found, few rods from
the house, half eaten by hogs and other
animals. The stencil was horrible, and
led to the discovery of the body. 1t is
supposed Mcnamara died soon after
leaving Maloney's from fit superinduc-
ed by drunkenness. The deceased was
young man, well liked, except for his
drinking proclivities.

AN IMPORTANT CAsE.-Before Es-
quire Frazer, yesterday, was tried the
case of George Campbell vs.. Samnel
Adams, COL, for the recovery of six
dollars and half for work done. Last
April Campbell walled cellar for Ad-
ans, putting in nine inch brick wall
for the front, and received pay for the
work, as 1t was pronounced satisfac-
tory by Adams. When Adams COM
menced to build his house he found
that the wall was too light, 30 he got
Campbell 10 tear it down and put up a
brick wall which was done. Adams
afterward refused to pay Campbell for
his services, because the first wall
erected did not answer the purpose;
hence the suit. The Esquire decided
that as Campbells first work was ac-
cepted and paid for, Adams could have
NO redress except by an action for
damages, and therefore gave judgment
for the plaintiff. The case involves q
small amount, but it defines an impor-
tant point in relations between con-
tractors and parties having houses
erected.

SHREwD ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN Two
RAILROAD OFFICIALS TO FLEECE THE
C0mpANy

SHREwD ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN Two
RAILRoAD OFFICIALS TO FLEECE THE
COMPANY.
A defalcation, shrewa in its manage
ment but not very serious in its extent,
has been fastened upon. two officials of
the Wilmington and Western Railroad
Company. The Commercial, (whose edi-
tor is q director in the company gives
the following account of the transaction !:
+. K: Devou is Secretary of the compa-
ny, and Joseph Hammett is ticket agent
at the Wilmington depot. Between them
itseems that a practice has.been Carried
on for some time past by which the Rail
road Co. has been defrauded out of por-
tion OF its earnings. Owing to the nature
CT their operations it is impessible'to tell
at present the precise amout of the de-
falcation, but it is supposed to reach to
somewhere in the neighborhood Of ST.
900.
As ticket agent Hammett sold through
tickets to I.andenberg and pocketed tie
money. As Secretary. Of the company
Devon received the tickets from the con-
ductors and destroyed them and alkevi.
de1ces Of their sale. Conductor Hughes
and Freight Agent Palmer, however, dis
covered the trick by the advanced num-
ber printed upon the tickets. The reon
lar numbers on the tickets were running
along somewhere between 1900 and 1900,
hut the tickets sold by HammetS and de.
stroyed BY Devou ranged up beyond g.
600, which excited the suspicious of the
parties named above, and the matter was
laid before MIR. Bradford, President OF
the Company.
Mr.. Bradford at once began an inves.
tigation into the matter but was unable
to ascertain the full amount Of the de.
falcation. Devou, however, We under.
stand, confessed to thousand dollars
and gave Judgment. to. the company
against property held by him to that
amount. He also exouerates Hammett
from the conspiracy, saying that it was
OF his own making, and that he persuaded
Hammett very much against his will to
20 into it. Hammett has, however, been
dismissed, and no proceeding will, we un.
| derstand, be begun against Devou to 70.
cover the amount appropriated to his
own use, if it shall be discovered that this
amount is in excess OF that already con
fessed to. I
Mr.. Devou retired from his position
to-day, and Mr.. Jno. Farra, elected tc
the position some days ago, has assumed

Immediately upon the arrival of the

telling the hackman to drive to the

attracted to the spot by the unusual
occurrence of q train with only one
passenger. 1t was learned that the
car came from Wilmington. but be.
yond the fact that it left there at 9:27
and arrived here at 1928 A. M. moth

the engineer or any one about the tie

looking. He had no baggage and ap-
peared to be in great hurry. 1t was

was cannot be asceltained in this city

did not know his passenger. Some
supposed it was Col. McComb, but as
that gentleman was seen to leave the
1:23 express from New York on Its
arrival here, yesterday this suppositior
is clearly wrong. Others supposed il
was Judge Fisher on hasty visit to

there are probably more grounds fol

THE PHILADELPHIA MARKET-wATER-

OF the Philadelphia fruit and vege.
table market the Ledger says:
Peaches are being forced upon the
market by the growers, the variety
being, of course, the Hale's early.
They are hard and under. sized, and
are extremely liable to rot before soft
ening. Growers knowing their ten
dency to rot are thinning them out,
calculating what they will bring over
freight and commissions as clear gain.
One large lot of several hundred bask-
cts was held at 80 cents. A few bask.
cts of fine specimens were held at sc
cents and 81 per basket. This will be
the only variety shipped for at least
ten days, and no really good peaches
can be expected until after that time
Some Bartlett pears of good quality
from Delaware are held at $2 basket
Some sold as high as - 25. Cooking
pears can be bought for from rs cents
10 81.
Plums are not coming in freely yet.
A few shipped in berry boxes bring
10 cents quart.
Good cooking apples are from % 75
to $3 80 per barrel. They are improv-
ing in size and quality.
Blackberlies have passed the height
of their season, but are still quite
plenty. Cultivated fruit brings 10cents
per quart, and wild berries from to
8 cents.
Huckleberries are more plenty and
bring from rs to 80 cents per peck
box.
Waterlnclons of fair size are slow of
sale, and are held at from $25 to $35
per hundred. Jersey melons are al
ready offered in market, though Della.
ware and Maryland have but just com.
menced to ship.
Canteloupes bring from SO to So "a
per barrel, and some fine baskets
brought 81 rs each.
Tomatoes Jersey fuctuate rapidly
in price. They were selling yesterday
from go to 75 cents per basket. The
quality is good. But few or no Penn.
sylvania tomatoes are sold on the
avenue.
Potatoes are very plenty, and the
yield and quality were never better
The best can be bought for as cents
per basket, and the range is down to
80 cents. Small potatoes sell aslow as
| 10 cents.
In the main the Wilmington fruit
and vegetable market keeps pace with
that of Philadelphia, so far as variety
is concerned, though wholesale traffic
is not carried on in the same scale
Peaches, as yet, are rarely sold here
by the basket, but potatoes, berries
and other fruits rule at the same rates
as in Philadelphia. Watermelons
range from 25 to so cents, but cante-
loupes are as yet very scarce.
