proclamation disarming the military
organizations in Edgefield county,

There have been outrages perpetrated
by the negro. militia of that county
such as, il committed by white men,
would have been made the ground

CONFIDENCE GAME. Tuesday OF
last week an attempt was made to
swindle Mrs Reitzle of Elkton, by sell
ing her bogus watches. Two dealers
called at her house on Stockton street
and offered to sell her two gold watch
es for $220. Whilst she was consider
ing the offer third man appeared aud
pretended to want to purchase the
watches, but the honorable traders re-
fused to let him have them, unless the
lady declined the bargain offered her.
Mrs. r. at once concluded to purchase
and paid the cash ($220) on the spot.
Some time after the men left suspi
cion arose that "All is not gold that
glitters," and closer inspection OF
the watches convinced the purchaser
that they were only excellent BRASS
When this conclusion was arrived al
Mr.. George Brooks, son-in-law of Mr..
and Mrs. ReitZle, started in pursuit oil
the traders in fine jewelry. Taking the
five o'clock train north, he had all eye
to passengers getting on at Newark,
and noticed three suspicious-lookine
individuals take the train for Philadcl
phia. Keeping them in sight, and
calling into his counsel the conductor
| when the train reached Wilmington
the police of this city were called in;
the confidence men, being interviewed
they ownedup and surrendered 1t dis
cretiob. And now Mrs. Il. has botl
her money and their watches.

About $50 o'clock. Saturday a(Eht,

in the interior of the stable, and was
very bad to extinguish, besides being
in u location hard to reach.
But the firemcn fought gallantly,
and by their active exertions sup
pressed the flames and prevented them
from spreading The hotel building,
Moore & Bros, soap works, and 9th
er surrounding properties, were in
great danger for u while, and would
probably have sustained much damage
had a strong wind prevailed.
The fire is believed to have been the
work Of an incendiary, as it originated
in the upper story of the stah' in Il
location where fire could La.diy be
accidentally placed. lhu total Joss
will reach between $500 and $1,000,
partially covered by insurance.
The fire created great excitement,
and the market houses on Fourth

ii was only through the suspicion created In the

prevented the consummation OF such dsllvery.

prudence, returned to the bank with tue gold. 1t
