Arr.isncd on Two Charges.

Thomas Mcguire was gwen nearing
last evening at the police court on two
charges. The first was for interfering
with an officer in the discharge OF his
duty. Officer Cannon who had made
the complaint testified that yesterday
morning about 2.30 he saw four men
quarreling in front of the United States
Hotel. He arrested one of the parties
and on passing Mr.. Smiths stables on
French street near Second, the prisoner
commenced crying "murder." At this
stage of the proceedings Mcclure put
in an appearances and commenced as
saulting witness. The two men got wit
ness down, choked and abused him bad
ly, McGuire tearing sleeve out Of his
coat and also taking his star away from
him. Witness said that he had made
up his mind to shoot Mcclure, but on
second thought he concluded that he
would sooner receive a whipping than
shoot man.
The prisoner said that the reason he
went to the mans assistance was BE-
cause he had heard him crying ''mur-
der.' Prisoner asked the officer it he
did not tell the man to go along peace
ablyl
Officer CannOn-No sir, you did not.
Prisoner-You acted in strange
manner last night, certainly it was not
becoming any officer.
Officer CannOn-I was sober last nj ght
and | have not drank drop for eight
years.
His honor said that he was satisfied
that the officer was not drunk. He al
so alluded to Mr.. Cannon's well known
reputation for sobriety, which he said
was known to him before the appoint
ment was made. His Honor spoke IN
condemnation of the action of the
"Every Evening" of yesterday in Civ
ing publicity to a report that the Off
Ger was intoxicated, which was circula-
ted after the disturbance.
Several witnesses were examined
who testified to seeing the prisoner be-
fore the disturbance, hu: they did not
see the fight. The evidence being suf-
ficient to convict he was fined $40 and
costs in each case.

They Say He II q Hummer.

James Thompson who moves on
crutches was placed in the dock last
evening, the charg. against James was
for being a general nuisance on the
streets. Sergeant Dolan testified to
the prisoner being regular hummer,
and h- thought that the crutches wera
merely sham. Officer Farrady testi-
fed to arresting the man early yester-
day morning. He was begging from
door to door and on being refused
money would utter vile oaths to those
who had refused him. The prisoner
said he resided in Little York, Pa, and
on leaving his hons started for Phila-
delphia for the purpose of having an
operation performed on his leg. He
had been paralyzed twice and had
suffered excruciating pain. James was
given until this morning to leave town
or otherwise he would be sent to Jail.

That I.RQaHh.

The reason why David Virtue laugh
ed at Thomas Burke on Monday was ex-
planned before Esquire Brady last even
ing upon Virtues arraignment. The
Squire thought it best to let a jury
analyze the matter and let them judge
the amount of irritant calculated to
warrant the imposition of costs, equal
to Burke's desire for revengence. Two
hundred dollars was the amount.

have changed owners, in most cases be-
ing forced sales, the certain follow
ing Of intemperance. For years this has
been local option district, but many,
Notwithstanding, are bent on having
their intoxicating beverages, and can
get them by sending few miles dis
tant.
The lightning struck a barn on the
farm worked by Nelson Johnson, late OF
Sussex county, Del, few days since,
and set it on fire, and before anything
could be removed therefrom the build
ing and contents were reduced to ashes
Mr., johnson lost wheat and corn, be-
sides large lot Of fodder and farming

The NJ. L. Church has been enclosed

materially to their beautiful grounds
and their commodious building, while

1t has been resolved to erect a new
P. L. chapel on the Island. For years
they have been worshipping in what

outlook will have improved very mark
ed when their new building shall have
received its finishing touches.
The farmers are now very busy
threshing their grain, which averages
to the bushel sowing from eight or ten
to close on thirty. The crop promises
much better than last year, and the
price is more encouraging. Several ar
ticles OF farming machinery have been
purchased. Among them another splen-
did steam thresher. Our farmers take
stock largely in machinery.
OF late several important visitors
have been to our beautiful Island.
Among them may be named Rev. DR..

4 a DURNING ACCIDENT.
Two Little Children CRASHED late
. Goat Kennel and Narrowly En-.
cape Death by Fire.

Yesterday morning at few minutes
of II O'Clock q strange circumstance
happened which nasrly resulted in
the death of two children. 1t seems
that the children, one of whom is boy
of years, son Of Samuel H. Chadwick
No. l400 French St., and the other
little girl of 3 years, daughter of George
Kleinstubbsr, No. 1919 French St., were
playing together in the yard of the
residence Of Mr.. Klsinstubber.
At the rear of the residence was a
goat house, which being empty and
filed with straw and other light ma
terial afforded clean and roomy place
for the children to play in. Into this
the two children crept. On the outside
stood brother OF the little girls who
was amusing himself with matches.
By some means or other one of the
lighted matches fell upon the floor of
the children's play house and in few
seconds the infamable material was
in blaze.
The little boy tried to suppress the
flames by treading upon them but as
they had gained considerable headway
it was of no avail, and in order to save
himself hastily crawled through the
aperture. The interior of the pen was
by this time filled with smoke, and it
seemed as though the little three-vear
old occupant helplessly penned up
was doomed. But fortunately George
Edwards, a boy about fourteen years
of age, an employee at Walton's Ice Of
flee, attracted by the screams emanating
from the yard Of Mr.. Kleinstubber,
jumped the fence, and knocked off the
boards of the burning pen, and drew
the little girl from her perilous position.
Her escape was certainly narrow one.
She was bnrned very badly about the
limbs, and her face was also badly in
jured.
In some places the flesh was burned
to crisp. Had it not been for the
timely appearance of the boy Edwards,
the result would have been fatal. The
little boy Chadwick in his effort to
get from the pen was burned severely,
especially about the face. Both chill,
dren were taken TO their homes suffer-
ing great pain. Every thing was done
to alleviate their sutferings, and this
morning they are somewhat better.
