THE TREASURY ROBBERY.


WAsH1NeroN, August %. Theodore W.
Brown, under arrest in connection with the
S47, 900 Treasury larceny, was before the
Police Court yesterday, when ex-Judge
Fisher and Hon. Jeremiah Wilson, on be-
half of the Government, asked postpone
ment of his examination until Monday week,
by which time they would have testimony
to show ample cause for the accusation, not
only against Brown, but against the other
parties under arrest for the perpetration of
the larceny. Col. Cook, counsel for Brown,
characterized the request as extraordinary,
and as against the Constitution, law, and
precedent, and In behalf of the accused, who
was ready, he asked that the examination
now proceed. After argument the Judge
acquiesced in the request of the Govern
ment counsel for the postponement of the
hearing to the day named by them, and the
prisoner was remanded.

MIR. HODGSON'S RESIGNATION.

THE JUDGES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH 1T
The people of Wilmington were some
what surprised on Saturday last, to read a
paragraph in one of the afternoon papers,
announcing that Mr.. William r. Hodgson
had resigned his position as Deputy States
Attorney, and that Alfred P. Robinson, of
Georgetown, had been appointed to said Of
flee. The item In the afternoon papers fur
ther stated that this course of Mr.. Hodg-
sons, had been brought about by hint
from some of the Judges. In order to as
certain the truthfulness of the report, one of
the reporters of the HERALD, called upon
Mr.. Hodgson at his house on Saturday
night, and found him with the item before
him reading it, and he seemed somewhat
surprised when told by the reporter, that
the matter was generally talked of in the
city, and number expressed regret that he
had come to this conclusion.
Mr.. Hodgson stated that he confirmed
the rumor, and felt fully justified in the
step he had taken. R.ts said he, 1t is per-
fectly absurd to ascriha any Of the causes
of my resignation to tho Judges, for tho
most cordial relations have existed between
us and still do. My reasons for resigning
are strictly personal, which deem best to
keep to myself. Since my appointment,
have, he said, had nothing to do with the
business of the lower counties, and since
the first Of April, Mr.. Robinson, who has
been named as my successor, has acted AZ
Mr.. Pennington's deputy, in Kent'and

Areporter Of the HERALD, on Saturday,
while passing the Eighth Street Market,
was attracted BY the hne appearance Of lot
Of watermelons TO conversation with the
vender. In this conversation he WAS 81
formed that the sale Of watermelons and
cantaloupes was larger this season than Il
had bscn known before for many seasons. Il
"Well, how do you account for this Z
said the reporter.
/" Dunno, only that II Is 20. Some folks
say that IT'S the cheapest kind Of truck that
can be slowed away. Cabbages and other
things 10 clean down to nothing, folks don't
want to cram their stomachs with Ill them
high things when they can get melons 10
much cheaper, and they fills up 50 quick." !"
!" But isn't 1t bad policy to eat 30 much
Of this as It is apt to produce sickness 7"
"Nothin' more than q little pain In the
stomach, and bless your soul, folks get 80
used to that they don't mind II. And
then you see when you eat lott Of water
melons and cantaloupes It gives you both
grub and water and 90 you see its cheaper
to take that kind of food than any other.

who says he never eats watermelons and
cantaloupes without he has pain, but he
says that it's cheaper than any other kind
of eatin', and he is willing to put up with
the stomach ache on that account"
But wonder that people eat them In
such large quantities If they are so produc-
tive of pain in the abdominal REGION" said
the reporter.
10 n : "a
Eat um! Why don't you know that
people would eat dogs and cats If they was
good food, If 1t busted their insides the
next mint. For grown folks is just, as
bad about eating what don't agree with
them as boy is about green apples"
How many do you sell days" asked
the reporter.
Some days trade is better than It is on
others. II trade is good sell seventy-fve

than forty Of the things. But they are full
Of stomach aches and pains and cholera

In about four mouths full, and while the

PEACHES.

THE GLUT IN NEW YORK-MEAsURES OF
THE GRoWERs-NO MEETING ON SAT.
URDAY-sHIPMENTs ON SATURDAY.
Since the shipment of peaches opened
from the peninsula orchards, the fears Of
the growers that the magnitude Of the crop
would prove serious disadvantage, have
been fully realized. The markets have been
bad from the beginning, and the glut reach
ed its climax last week, when fruit sold in
New York and Philadelphia for cts. per
basket for primes, and few buyers at that.
The growers then determined to find a
remedy, and a committee from Middletown
visited Philadelphia to demand from. the
railroad authorities reduction of freights.
President Hinckley did not appear to agree
vantage to them to have the tariff reduced
such event occur there, would enable the
other markets by reshipment, but thought
ranged with advantage, and wrote strong
letter to vice-presiient Cosette, of the
Pennsylvania Road, to this effect. The
growers returned to their homes with the
report, on Saturday, and were to hold
meeting there in the afternoon, but for some
reason they did not meet and will probably
convene this afternoon. They propose to
instruct their commission men in Newport
to dump in the river all fruit that fails to
bring 35 cents per basket.
Arrangements for the payment of freight
for the Europeon shipments were completed
on Saturday, and the first cargo will 60 ont
on Thursday.
The markets in the West and New Eng
land on Saturday were better, but very little
has been reported from New
York and Philadelphia. The shipments on
