THE SEDUCTION CASE
lsabe Before Esquire Bpady this
MOrninE.--He Enters HAIL For u
Future Hearth

AShseVHb nOE ~
Future Hearing.
An item appeared in the GAZETTE of
yesterday, setting forth that on Saturday
last girl, aged about thirteen years, ac-
companied by her mother, appeared be-
fore Esquire Brady, and made affidavit
to the fact that she was enciente, and
that the father oft unborn babe was
well-known citizen of Delaware City,
named Robert ii. Derrickson, in whose
family she had resided for some time as
child's nurse, during which time the
head of the family had accomplished her
ruin.
Upon the affidavit Of the girl war
rant was issued for the arrest of the al
legged seducer, and placed in the hands
of Constable Hickman, who proceeded
to the residence of the accused in Della
ware City yesterday and placed him un-
der arrest.
This morning Mr.. Derricks0n, accom-
panied by his attorney, Anthony Higgins,
Esq, appeared before Esquire Brady,
who held him in the sum of 500 for "a
hearing on the lst day of October next
under the following law: Chapter II,
section 5, Laws of Delaware:
"lf, when the process is returned, the
child is not born, the justice shall ie-
quire the person charged as the father,
to enter into recoguizance To the State,
with sufficient surety, in the sum of tso
hundred dollars, With condition to be
void y the said person shall appear be-
fore the said Justice at the expiration Of
one month from the birth Of SAID child,
and on erery other dsy to tohich Tie
case shall be adjourned; and he justice
shall commit him to jail on failure TO
give such security"
Mr.. Derrickson, the accused stontly
denies that he is he father of the unborn
child, and says that it is case Of black
mailing. The citzers of Delaware city,
who have known him for a number Of
years as all upright gentleman, man VI
integrity, also dsbeleve the stoIy, and
think as he is man of considerable
property that the girl is endeavoring to
ackmail him. Nothing further can be
done " it'll the ease until the time that
the accused is bound over to app ar un-
less e girl who makes the chargr,
withdraws it.

An Am using Scene.

This morning shortly before O'Clock
an amusing scene was presented on
Water street, between King and French
streets. A well known auctioneer of his
city was passing along Water
street, when two small boot blacks ac-
costed him with the interrogation: "Shine
sir? only five cents" The gentleman
was undecided for moment which one
OF The boys should have the job ofputting
polish on bis shoes, when suddenly a
bii. hit idea entered his head, and he told
the boys to place their boxes upon the
pavement.
They hastily complied with the request,
and then the idea Of the gentleman was
made apparent to those who were watch
ing the transaction, by seeing him place
foot upon each box and stand up while
each Of the boys vent vigoI ously to work,
and In short time the shoes showed
the necessary po 'ish, and the boys were
rewarded tor their labor by b ing pre-
sented with five cents each.
Little WaIC
HYcsterday forenoon a two and half
year Old boy f.Iohn Is. McClane, mo-
rocco dresser residing at 1898 Walnut
street, strayed away from home and
could not be found. Word of the child's
disappearance was left al the police sta
ton and at the Office OF Mr. Geo. w,
Jackson the bill-pOster, and after "A delay
OF hours, the wine. eabouts of the little
wanderer was learned aud he was
brought to Mr. Jackson, and by him re-.
stored 10 his parents. During nearly the
whole time Of the absence he was stay
ing at the house OF man on French
street above. Had those people known
of Mr.. j Jsckson's kindly efforts IN finding
lost children and left the little waif in
his care he could have be II taken have
long lefore he was. In closing it may
be well for rs to state that when LOST
children are placed in the care of Mr. j.,
as is often the case, they are sure OF
reaching the home OF their parents in a
snort time.
Invitation Accepted.
Last eveping previous to the adjourn.

STOCK QUOTATIONS.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1879-01-29

Marshal MacMahon is reported to have
said at Cabinet Council that he would
rather resign his position than yield to the
demands of the republicans in replacing
several commanders Of army corps But
it is very likely that he never made such
declaration, and, at least, the statement to
be credited should be given On more sub.
stantial authority than mere Partisan on
oil. Between the Ministry and the MAJOR
ity relations are trife strained since the
recent vote, for the Ministry and its organs
have endeavored to blur the result in popular
appreciation by representing it as a clear
Ministerial victory, which every member
Of the Chamb knows 1t was not. Such
an attitude is near enough to defiance to
provoke unpleasant irritation in the repub-
lican lines, and that spirit OF irritation
would seize upon any convenient reason
for repetition OF trial of strength
with the government. Any declaration
such as credited to the President
would. in the present situation, be ac-
cepted as a challenge, and the Minis
try would be brought to vote on that
very point and would be beaten, and thus the
situation would be prepared for the fulfil
ment of the Marshars threat
