evening and stopped at several saloons
on his way to his home, declaring at
several places his intention to xiii his
wife and get r,d of her. When he GOT
home he found her talking with her
brother and sat down aud joined in the
conversation pleasantly, but az soon as

A ROgue's Trick,

About three months ago, young man
named John Stanz, commenced working
for Mr.. James Shoemaker, who keeps
basket store on King street above
Fourth. He was quiet and industrious
and Mr.. Shoemaker had every confidence
in him, which was strengthened by the
fact that he knew his family in Philadel-
phia who are very respectable people.
So much confidence had Mr.. Shoemaker
in young Stanz that he advanced him
money from time TO lime, expecting him
to work 1t out, and at the close of last
week he was about fifty dollars in his
debt.
Stanz boarded with Mrs. Anna B.
Barney, who keeps a shoe store at No.
lob Fourth street. Either on Saturday
night or Sunday, he left the house for
good, taking one hundred and'five dollars
owned by Mrs. Barney. The money
was in satchel and hung in cupboard
upstairs.
Stanz is young man about twenty
eight years of age and has very respect
able, look. He has a black mustache
and is lame in the right leg. Strange to
say he had paid his board up to the time
of his departure.

A CheaD Excursion

Among the large number OF daily ex-
cursions that are now made to various
points down the Delaware river, none
are cheaper or afford more pleasure than
trip to Lewes, DEL, or better known
as the Delaware Breakwater.
The swift and elegant steamer John
Sytcester, steamer well known to the
cirizens Of WILMINGTON now makes daily
trips between Philadelphia and Lewes,
and in order that our citz ms may have
an opportunity of enjoying these delight
ful trips.
The steamer will stop at New Castle
each way. If hose who contemplate the
trip, do not desire to go to New Cas-
tie they can take the FELTON, to Chester
and there connect with the Sylvester.
The fare for the round trip including the
trip 10 Chester will amount to SI.2O.
Tickets are also sold direct to Rehoboth
for So good un til used. Our citizens
who are going to spend the summer at
Rehoboth, should bear the excursions of
the Sylvester in mind, and thereby avoid
the dust by rail.

A Serious Bu rlai ng Case.

The danger that often results + ON
children playing with matches, was
again illustrated in this city yesterday by
two small childres being burned under
such circumstances that their escape
from death Is not far sh ,rt of miracle.
1t appears that two little children of
Mr.. II. @. Kleinstuber, who keeps what
is know as the "Exceisor House" at No.
14l4 French street, and liule son of
Samuel Fl. Chadwick, residing at No.
1927 French street, were playing togeth-
er in goat house In the yard, back OF
Mr.. kiienstuber's house, and having So
cured hox ofmatches, were engage ID
lighting them and throwing them out
side. The goat house is large dry goods
box with one side knock ed out of it; In
dimensions is about three feet Fix inches
In hight and three feet wide. The bot
tom of the box was covered with very
dry straw. Tho little girl whose name IL
Kane Is only years and months Old.
and her companion Robert Chadwick Is
between and years ofage
After baving been engaged in striking
the matches for some time, another Of
Mr.. Kleinstuber's children, a little girl
scarcely able TO walk came In and tried
to tell the ia her about what the little
girl and boy were doing, but he failed to
understand.
Another small child ofMr. Kleinstu ber's i,
hearing the little one, ran out to see
what was going on and he also CON-
menced firing the matches.
While they were doing this, one of the
matches fell just inside the goa. house
andignIted the straw. MriKlienstuber's
little son who had lust Joined the party,
noticed this and ran away but the little
girl and boy remained for a minute or
two. The straw blazed up instantly anil
in minute filed the narrow apartment
with flames. Young Chadwick ran out
of the place, but tie little Klienstuoer
girl remained, so badly frightened that
she did not know what to do. George
Edwards, boy fourteen years old who
works for Walton Bros. heard the lit
tie girls screams and climbed over the
fence and tried to get her out through
the opening in the box but tho flames
were too severe. He then tore the top off
the box and lifted her out.
Both the children we're quite badly
burned about the face, arms and ankles
but neither of them will die. The face of
the little boy Chadwick. is injured much
more than that OF the little girl owing to
the fact that he ran out through the
flames.
DIR. j. f. Frantz is attending Mr.. Chad
wick's son, whose face this morning is
much swollen. The little girl of Klien-
sJuber's Is not thought to need phsician
