THE MODE AND THE RESULT

The mode of voting directly at the
primary election for county officers is su-
perior to the delegate system. Who will
receive the nomination for Sheriff or Coroher
is hard to conjecture. All is uncertainty.
Lambson Is the favorite at New Castle.
Lynch denies that there is any coalition be.
tween his men and the Republicans, and
says 1t is the same old cry that is always
raised against man that is likely to win.
But unless certain objection that is raised
prevails, John Pyle will receive the nominal
ton for Sheriff. And If s. J. Gilbert really
unites the elements he says be can, his
nomination for Coroner is assured. On tho
other hand If the railroad influence is welded
on Murpby's behalf, beyond doubt Hugh
Murphy will be nominated for Coroner
Newark Ledger.

THEY HANKERED AFTER STRAW
BERRIES.

Yesterday evening two boys entered the
wagon of Mr.. N. Davis of New Castle Hun
dred which was standing on King street
near Fifth, and began helping themselves
to strawberries. Mr.. Davis whe had been
absent, returned and hearing some one in
the wagon, went to the tail and looked in,
when the boys sprang out of the front part
and took to their heels, each carrying away
box of berries.
One of the boys ran down Fifth street
and was lost sight of, while the other ran
up Fifth toward Market, but was soon
caught. He was taken to the police, where
he gave his name as Jones, living at Fifth
and Poplar streets.

THE BENNETT-MAY DUEL.

CARD FROM MR.. JAMES GoRoN BENNETT.
We have received the following cable
message from Mr.. James Gordon Bennett
In regard to the recent publication in New
York and Baltimore relative to his meet
ing with Mr.. May:
"PARIs, June 8, 1S7S.-To the Editor Of
the Baltimore Sun.-Sir: have just recei-
we'd by this mail from America communi-
cation which appeared in your columns two
weeks ago in reply to statement Published
in the New York Times. Permit me to say
that the details of your communication are
70 q certain extent correct. regret that
when then the Times's statement In regard
to the unfortunate affair with which my
name is connected was made was not con4
suited. Mr.. Wilkes, who is said to be re.
sponsible for the Times's statement, re-
sembles the bear In the fable who killed his
friend in killing the fly. Ism thankful for
all that Mr.. Wilkes inteud ed, but not for
his uncslledfor interference.
"In your paper the following appears
'Mr. May was as cool and calm as anything
could be. Mr.. Bennett was very much ex-
cited and nervous, his body swaying to and
fro. Between 'one' and two q cap was
heard to snap. Believing 1t to be Mr.. Benz
nett's pistol that had snapped. DR.. Fred
erick May called out STOP He walked up
to Mr.. Bennett and asked, did your pistol

shoot. claim my shot. Here is my pistol
Mr.. Bennett was extremely nervous
"It is now two years since this affair oc.
Cured. had supposed that people were
satiated with It, AMI that they might have
other amusements, but 1t seems not. Now,
I beg leave to say that I shall arrive In
America about the middle of July. If pub
lie opinion deems 1t just that I should suf>
fer legal penalties, am perfectly willing to
bow to that decision and submit to the laws
of the land. did send challenge to Mr..
May, which was accepted by him. Mr..
May, in your account, is said to have been
perfectly cool. l do not question his cool-
ness or courage, but In the same report Mr..
Bennett is said to have been very nervous
and excited. 1t appears, then, that Bennett
was scared to death and that May was as
cool as q cucumber. Being principal, l,
of course, cannot say anything in regard to
this but think am now at liberty to
withdraw any injunction of secrecy upon
the gentlemen who acted as seconds.

HOW TWO MEN swINDLEp INNOCENT WEST

How TWO MEN swINDLED INNOCENT WEST
VIRGINIA PEOPLE.
Two men came to this city about the 18th
of March last, and rented store room from
Mr. Ludwig Wallschmidt at 9O6 east Srd
street, saying that they were strangers in
the city, and desired to open an Office for
the reception and sale Of goods on commis-
sion, which they were to receive from part,
les in West Virginia. They paid one
months rent in advance and gave their
names as Price and Brooks, and about the
25th of the same month commenced operas
tions. The furniture in their Office consists
ed of desk and several chairs. They said
very little to inquirlng persons, and seemed
to attend to their own business. They
rented box in the Post Office, through
which they received many letters and, they
handled large amount of country produce
which they received at the Depot, and for
warded to Philadelphia. It seems they
never made any returns to their customers.
They snddenly disappeared toward the
latter part OF April, and have net been
heard of since. The victimized parties
have written several letters to Chief O'Toole
on the subject, who after close inquiry cons
cludes that they have folded their tents
like the Arabs and silently stole away.
Several letters laying In the Post Office
for them, and draft on the parties, was
received at the Wilmington and Brandywine
Bank through Q West Va. Bank.
Price is the elder man of the two and
has long beard, partly gray.
Brooks, or Frank Brook as he calls him
self. is young man who dresses very sty-
lishly apd is quite good looking. 1t is
thought probable that the head of this af-
fair Is Theodore F. j. Knoles who was ar>
rested last February for forgery, though
there may be nsthing 10 the report.

from Bishop Mccoekry which, dated at

"a miserable yagabond, who had been
In prison, processes 10 have some letters
waitten BY me more than five years ago
TO a poor orphan girl. They have been
published and SUPPOSE you have read
them. The imitation Of my handwriting
ia said TO be good. We 20 back to Detroit,
as | am too good soldiGr TO retreat
while u gun Ia firing II | am to be
stricken down by the hand OF an assassin

This MIR. Williamson very readily in.
terpteted to mean that Bishop McCoskry
will not leave u stone unturped in pro-
ducing proofs Of his innocence ut once
and 10 prosecuting the originators and
circulators Of the canaid. The alluaion
in the laterto his soldierly qualities will
NOT be understood by the public so well
as by MI. Williamson, who remembers
that young Ssnnel Allen McCoskry was
schooled in the military academy at West
Point.
