mence the work of establishing grade for
the city as soon as practicable.

tention to the condition of Third streets, on
the flats east of Capital street, and recon-
mend that the ditch commenced by Com

MURDER NEAR WARWICK.


0ne CsIereA Man shsots Another
Dewn In Cold Blood and Then
NAH es His Escape.
From the Cecil Wing comes the report
OF colo blooded murder, which occur
red on Wednesday morning about eight
o'clock, Oh t.le farm of W. T. Beck, be
tween Warwick and Cecilton, i'll Cecil
cornty, but within a short distance OF
Warwick, which is on the line between
Delaware and Maryland, and about
four miles west OF Middletown. 1t seems
that two colored men, named Jenkins
Whaley and Medford Waters, with
two other colored men and three white
men, were husking corn on Beck s farm
when dispute arose between the two
named, about the number and size OF
some OF the shocks OF corn.
Angry words passed, which led to
blows, when Walters ran to the house
OF colored man close by and getting a
pistol returned and firing two shots at
Whaley the last struck him in the left
breast killing him almost instantly, he
having just time to exclaim, IL am
shot, before he fell.
Deputy Sheriff Janney, happening to
pass the place, few hours later, no
ticed the victim lying in the field,
and on making inquiry ascertalned
that he had been shot, as before stated.
He at once instituted search for Wat
ters, who had quietly walked away to
the farm Of W. X. Lockwood, where his
mother resides, and bade her good bye,
telling her that he had done something
bad and would not be back soon. The
Deputy could not get any other trace
OF Waters, but at once placed the mat
ter in the hands of a constable, and ef-
forts are yet being made for his appre
hension.
The deputy stated that the five men
who witnessed the shooting made no
attempt whatever to arrest Waters and
were SO cowardly that they positively
refused to give any information or as
sist in an effort to arrest him and it was
only after he had promised that they
should not get into danger, that he per
suaded one Of them to accompany him
in search for the perpetrator OF the
crime.
Waters was only about IS, and Wha-
ley 20 Or q years of age. These men
had been attending a revival in the
neighborhood, and were evidently good
friends before the alteration, which re-
suited SO seriously.
An inquest was held on Wednesday
afternoon, by Justice Vansant, and a
verdict was reldered in accordance with |
the above facts.
