A Remarkabl story.
A MAN CONVICTED AND SENTENCED FOR A NuR.
DER BE NEVER COMMITTED.


We publish to-day one OF the most remark
able stories that have ever come from within
prison walls. About eighteen years ago con-
Wet named Brady, who had nearly completed
term OF Imprisonment for small burglary,
attempted with several others TO escape from
Dannemora prison, In this state; one OF the
party killed Keeper Wright; all OF the men were
captured, tried, and, although Sewell, the man
who struck the fatal blow, manfully admitted
and insisted that he alone killed wright, two
beside himself were condemned TO death on the
evidence OF three conyicts, afterwards par
doned, who had attempted TO escape with the
others. but lost heart and remained behind.
The prisoners were even denied the right OF
challenging the jurors before whom they were
tried. Incredible as IL may seem the law &C
years suffered the cruel agony OF anticipating
daily death warrant, which the governor
alone could sign. Besides this torture,
thousand times worse than death, the
chain. which famed him for life, and
has served seventeen years at hard labor since
convicted. No one appears to believe Brady
guilty; the prison warden, the principal keep
should be pardoDed. Hundreds OF the best
citizens OF Plattsburg, the largest town In the
vicinity of the prison, and naturally the last
encouragement. have signed petition for bis
pardon. II his own statement to q Herald
representative is correct as IL seems to be to
all who know OF the case, he is richly deserving
guilty, which is the worst that is charged
against him, bis punishment has already been
greater than New York generally imposes for
murder n,u except IN the first degree: San more,
twenty years OF prison experience, show him
TO be man whose proper place is outside Of
prison walls, unless vengeance instead OF re-
form is the object to be gained by imprison-
ment. The case seems pre-eminently one In
which justice, mercy, common sense and preoe-
dent unite In asking for prompt exercise Of

a MISSIONARY making journey through
Zululand was entertained at natives hut
An old woman from distant place, where
the people had never heard Of God or the
bible, related the following tradition zone
OF the Zulu ancestors, long ago, stood by
the river, lifted his stick and the water
stood up like walls, so that the people
passed over on dry land. She told of an.
other who had slept and dreamed of "climb.
ing way" up TO the sky, with the "maids of
heaven" going up and down, and of his
waking and placing stones to mark the
spot. Also Of boy who had slain great
giant with stones from the brook, and who
afterwards was made king. These must be
traditions Of Jacob at Bethel, the passage Of
Israel over the Red sea or the Jordan river,
and the slaughter Of Goliath by David.

was piece of diplomacy on the part OF

Governor has aspirations, thinks his

the short term, an outsider, than to risk
the opposition of the friends of the dis
appointed ones, by appointing one of tho

In Sussex County they do some queer
things. The latest evidence OF this pc.
culiar trait was during the session OF
the court Peter J. Wilson was put on
trial charged with assaulting the person
of Mrs. Maggie Rust. While the evil
dence was being taken he sat beside
Judge Layton, his counsel. The evi
dence was damaging and the prisoner
saw it. After the Court had charged
the jury, and the jury had retired, the
prisoner got up from his seat ana
walked toward the door evidently de-
sirous of ascertaining the state of the

search was made for the prisoner, but
he could not be found. The court is

StalkuD Run.

On Saturday afternoon City Council
had special meeting at Stalkup Run
which is situated between Walnut and
Poplar, and between Third street and
the Christiana Creek. This water
course in the days when Wilmington
was but small country town was a
stream of considerable size. Vessels
were known to ply between its high
banks up as far as Fifth and Poplar
streets. Since then it has been gradu-
ally filling up until it has become a
small running stream traversing a long
declivity and emptying the city's sew
erage into the creek at the Pusey 4
Co. Works.
For some time back there has been
considerable complaint from the citi-
zens in the vicinity Of Second and Pop
lar streets, arising through the accu-
mutation of filth near the outlet. The
Cily Council inspected the spot and
found that the runs mouth was too con-
tracted and that measures would have
to be taken to render the flow free
