RAID ON THE TRAMPS

TWENTY RIGHT HOMELESS swANDLB?RsFu FUR
p NrsHED WITH QUARTERS AT TIE CITY
HALL.
Frequent complaints have recently
been made at the police-headquarters, of
the numerous depredations committed
by tramps in the southern and western
sections OF the city. They damaged the
property, annoyed the people by their
visitations, MIXED humorous cows in the
pastures south of the Christiana bridge,
near Market street.
Yesterday the O clock members of the
police force were instructed to report at
headquarters at three o'clock, for special
duty. At the appointed hour they were
on hand, and, heedad by the Chief, pro-
ceeded to the localities in which the
tramps most do congregate."
Detailed in squads they secured along
adjacent lumber yards, and hunted the
swamp lots over the bridge. The result
was the arrest of twenty eight tramps by
thirteen policemen.
Some OF the tramps gave the officers q
lively chase, and one of them rushed
through the reeds and mud into the
Christiana, clear to the waters edge
where he remained safe, none of the po.
lice caring to spoil their uniforms, by fol-
lowing him. Another escaped by wading
through ditch.
In the evening the parties were given
hearing before Esquire O'Neill, acting
Mayor Ten of them being new arrivals
were allowed to depart on promising tC
leave the city Immediately. Sixteer
more departed on the same conditions
this morning, and the other two, Will
mingtonians named McFadden ano
Hickey, being confirmed vagrants, were
sent to New Castle for thirty days.
If the tramp ravages are continued
other raids will he made by the police.

The Shipments Under Uay-
Where the fruit has Gone.
The peach shipments are now fairly
under way, and will be regularly
continued until the end of the season.
yesterday six chartered cars and
eight of fruit picked up in small lots
were shipped to New York, and four
chartered cars to Philadelphia. The
previous shipments to New York are
estimated at twenty cars-eight of
which were chartered. and the estima-
ted previous shipments to Philadel-
phia are five cars. This will make the
total shipments to date reach forty
three cars.
Thus far the bulk of the peaches has
been shipped to New York, as in that
city the fruit commanded the highest
prices, ranging from $3.50 to s. per
crate, and never, thus far. getting
below So. Next weeks shipments,
which will probably be larger and in
clude number of varieties. will tend
to reduce prices somewhat.
