The excitement over inccndary fires last night was
in of anything which has occurred here since
the labor troubles two years ago. Shortly after mid
night the impression became general that precon-
certed efforts had been made to burn the city, and
this increased by tho arrest OF four strangers
who wero found acting suspiciousy in the neighbor
hood Of where several fires occurred.
CITIZENS ORGANIZING.
At midnight leading business men in tho eastern
section organized themselves into company and
patrolled the neghborhood until morning. Nearly
every house in some sections was illuminated all
night az brightly as at early hour in the
evening. and in many instances families did
not go to bod during the night but stood guard
their valuables. which were packed together for
speedy removal. Revolvers and modern and ancient
shooting irons made ready for oil over the
city, and general feeling of dsquietude prevailed
until daylight.
MILITIA IN READINESS.
Shortly after midnight. when the excitement was
ut its height the State Adjutant General issued
order directing the militia to be ready for duty at
moments warning. II may be that the men under
may not be the guilty parties but it is signi
cant that no new fires occurred after their arrest

THE QUEER CAUSE OF COMPLAINT
AGAINST A PRISONER AT POLICE
COURT.
"Washington Jones, you are charged
with disorderly conduct" remarked His
Honor, the Mayor, at 4o'clock yesterday
afternoon, while the police court was
holding sort of matinee session. The
prisoner was plain-looking man, but
evidently law-abiCing citizen, and he
pleaded "not guilty."
Little Mary Blair, who lives at Fourth
and Orange streets, and who is just 12
years of age, testified that the prisoner
often loitered in that neighborhood after
dark, when his home was in another
part of town, and that he followed her
more than once, and on Saturday jump
ed out from behind cart aud frighten-
ed her. He often watched her after
dark.
Quite number of other witnesses,
including four good-looking young la
dies, were called, and while they said
they had seen the man often in the
neighborhood, they had not known of
him acting disorderly. The prisoner
admitted that he had taken several even
ing walks down the square to get a
breath of fresh air after being confined
in the shop all day. The case was dis
missed.

Operation Performed

Capt. n. R. Benson, of the Harlan &

some time past with severe attack OF the
grave, but is somewhat better this morn
ing.
On Saturday last, DR.. Agnew, a we'll
known physician of Philadelphia, visited
Capt. Benson, and after very delicate
operation removed stone about the size
of an ordinary hen egg. Before the stone
could be removed 1t was necessary to
crush it into small pieces.
Mr.. Benson submitted to the painful
operation with great fortitude, and has
rested well ever since. Hopes are now
entertained of his ultimate recovery, al
though before the stone was removed his
recovery was very doubtful.

GENTLEMEN-We, the Shields Lii
brary Association, Of Wilmington, Del,
beg your acceptance of this, our tesLi-
mOniai OF thanks as an assembly, for the
manner In which you treated those of us
who had the good fortune TO be present
with you IN the occasion of your annual
picnic, at Upland, Pa.,on Saturday even
ing, August Both, 1879. We have the
honor to present this as a slight token Of
our appreciation of your efforts to make
our visit, upon that occasion, enjoyable,
and hope that you, as an organization,
viii! receive and cherish it, not for its in
trinsic value or for any beauty it may
possess as an ornament but rather in the
spirit In which it is given-that of heart
felt qualification, that thee exists at the
present time such fraternity Of feeling
between the two organizations.
May the emblem Of our esteem and
gratitude draw us still closer in senti-
nent, and may both donors and recip-
tents be made to feel that the ties which
your generous hospitality engendered,
are now 50 firmly cemented that age will
but add strength and durability to them,
and may each new link, now formed, re-
main unbroken as long as both organi-
cations may exist.
