Smyrna times., 1879-05-07


The captain of the Italian brig FriSchetta,
which arrived in the Christiana u few days
ago with 400 tons of sulphur, has gotten
himself into a scrape by smuggling wine,
sweet oil and umbrellas to Angelo Car
denelia, Wilmington fruit dealer. The
government officers in Wilmington are said
to be looking into the matter. but they keep
their mouths shut as tight as claims.
DuTcuER's CAsE.-Ecery Erfning (anti.
tempPrance) has said nothing edit0lia!ly "a
to Butchers guilt or innocence, but moral |
ICES sensibly about the proprety Of put |
ting reformed men forward as teachers
and leaders. The RepajEcaR. temperance |
admits his indscretion, but thinks there |
has been no cIiminalty in intention or act |
The difficulties in his case is, he has bad |
subject to reform, but thinks butcher
thought this would be the grnndest triumph
of his life to lift this fallen but intellectual
woman to a life of usefulness. The Ga=cttc.
| Temperance when it does not interfere with
partly, has suspended editorial reflections,
while giving the current reports in its news
! columns. Very strangely, however, Dutrh-
er has not yet reached Wilmington. His
letters express that he is deeply wounded
| at the lack of confidence of his friends
