ne season at RehoDOfh.

The past few months have brought
with them unparalleled success for Re-
hoboth. 1t has become generally known
and as its natural advantages being
such the communicating notice which
the people of Philadelphia, New York
and other cities are disposed to give it,
is a favorable omen Of its future sue
cess. Next to its natural advantages
come the accommodations. These are
as favorably known as the former, and
90 into assur the success of the place
as nothing else probably can. Mr..
Walter Burton lessee of the Bright
House, to whose undoubted ability this
much is owing, reports that the season
to him has been one which he hardly
expected. He has been full nearly the
VIII ole of the heated term, and the re
muneration has been something that
has been encouraging. 1t is the inten-
ton of the owner of the Bright House,
if Mr.. Burton should desire it, to build
the structure out to the street which
will add about one hundred feet to the
buildings front. This is to be done so
as to meet the rush which is expected
next year. Mr.. Burton does not sup
pose the invasion of mosquitoes which
was made at Rehoboth some time ago
will effect the place next season, as the
influx Of this psst was henomenal and
may not occur again in a half a GEN.
tury. The future of Rehoboth looks
exceedingly bright and promising.

A Case OF Deliberate Shooting.

On Saturday as Edward and George
Stroup, the eldest ten years old and the
youngest six, were walking over their
fathers place in the Ninth ward, they
we're met by young colored man, who,
upon their approaching the banks of a
small stream, insisted that the two
boys should go into swim. They re-
fused, whereupon the colored boy drew
a revolver and pointing it at the boys
sndeavored to force them into comp|i-
ance. This falling he started to un-
dress George, but the boy breaking
away started to run. The colored lad
hastily threw up the revolver and
fired, the ball striking George in the
hand and burying itself in the flesh
Mr.. Eugene Stroup, the father OF the
boys, happening to come near imme-
diately pursued the young man. When
Eleventh street bridge was reached the
pursued stepped off one end as Mr..
stroup stepped upon the other. The
oolored boy still had the revolver in
his hand. In Church street, where
the fugitive lived, sope of tho boys OF
the neighborhood seeing his flight aid
ed him by catching holding of his
hands and thus helping him to escape.
Mr.. Stroup being as much exhausted
as the boy, here gave up the search,
and repaired to the police station where
he ged complaint. The negro has
not been captursd. The boys hand
was attended to By DR.. Greenleaf, who
after some trouble extracted the ball.

DelaWare'S Rival.

The New York "Times' says:-The
end of the Delaware season will by nc
means prove the end of the peach sea-
son. There will be peaches from New
Jersey, md good ones, as good as any
that have been here fl ION Delaware, un-
til late in October; but after this week
good peaches will command high prices.
The New Jersey crop will not be very
heavy. 1t is not expe ted ever to reach
more than rs car loads On any one day,
generally much less, and this amount
must supply Eastern and Northern cit
les az we'll. The varieties which are
now coming from the orchards of NV
Jersey, are the Stump of the World, and
Red Rarpripe. While they do not pre-
sent very attractive appearance to
the eye, they please the palate, as the
flavor is delicious, the fruit being both
sweet and juicy.

day on a complaint made by Lewis
Mason, from whom they had stolen q
chicken. The evidence was direct and
conclusive and the two latter were held

the former was held in $l00 to keep the
peace.
While this case was being tried a
fight took place at Sixth and King
streets b-tween George Dutton and a
colored man. They were arrested.
The evidence revealed the fact that the
colored man was passing by when
George asked him for chew Of tobacco.
The stranger insolently told George
"to buy his own tobacco" whereupon
George began the attack. They were
sentenced to pay 81 and costs each.

Early on Sunday msrning Msssrs. B. T
Bye and George R. koberts were arous
ed from their slumbers by policeman
who informed them that they we're
wanted at the city hall as witnesses in
an illegal voting case at eight o'clock
sharp. They ef course were there with
out their breakfast, and after waiting,
and hanging around for about an hour
one of the witnesses asked the Mayor
If he would allow him to go for his
breakfast? ? His Honor very pleasantly
remarked not just ,ow, we are going to
give Zeigler hearing, and at the same
time called for the prisoner to walk in
to the dock, but he was informed by an
officer that Zsigler could not be found.
The Mayor then said I wish the Off
Ger that has that warrant in his pos
session to find Zeigler and lock him up,
and take no more bail for him, AID h.
would now adjourn the case until
O'Clock Sunday evening. rs.s.s..
On going to the hall door in the
evening about the first man we saw
was Zeigler walking around, as indie
pendent as q Philadelphia wood saw
yer, not locked up according to the May
or's orders. In a few minutes he was
taken back in the corridor by an officer
and an being called up for trial he was
seated on a chair in the witness de-
partmcnt, with the newly appointed
capital policemen. O'Neill at his elbow
The Mayor asked Zeigler If he was
ready for trial. O'Nsill whispered in
bis ear "Say no." which he did. o.
Neill then whispered, "Tell him you
waive hearing Zeigler at once obey
ed the orders Of his counsel, when the
Mayor held him in 5000 bail for his ap-
pearanoe at court. Thus ended this IL
legal voting case. There were witness.
sas there to prove his having voted at

The Harlan a AORIfngaworthC Com
pany Receives Another Contract.
In order to meet the increasing de-
mand for travel on the Hudson river.-
The Albany Day Line Company on Fri
day signed contracts for the construc-
tisn Of large river-steamer on new
plan. She is to be ready for business
by the lst of next June, and will bs
devoted exclusively to passenger busi-
ness on the Hudson River, between
New York and Albany. Her dimsn-
sions will be: 800 feet on deck. and
2S5 at the water line, 40 feet breadth Of
beam, and 81 feet all over; IL feet &
inches depth Of hold and 5 feet draught
Of water. The entire hull will be built
cf iron, on scientific model. The
boilsrs and machinery will be in the
hold, and entirely out Of the way. This
will allow the dining-rooms tc be plao-
ed on the main deck instead Of in the
hold as now, and will allow this entire
deck to be used for the accommodation
Of passengers.
The ladies' saloon and other saloons
will occupy that part Of the main deck
not taken up by the dining-rooms,
Railways, and promsnades. The mid
die deck will be occupied by parlors,
rooms and promenades, and the hurri-
cane deck will be given up entirely to
promsnaders. By putting the machip-
cry in the held the main and middle
decks will each have what is called ~
clear sweep" or unobstructed floor, and
ths steadiness impaired to the motion
Of the boat by putting the machinery
in the hold will permit the frsrst use Of
the hurricane or top deck, always the
most preferable for sightseeing.
The iron work Of this boat will be
built by the Harlan and Hollingworth
company of this city. The engines
will be immense, having cylinders of
73 inches diameter, IL feet stroke Of
piston, and 3 boilers of the "lobster-
back" pattern, 81 feet diameter each,
with single return Aues, and two furna-
ces to each. Each furnace will havean
independent smokes stack. Fletcher.
Harrison & Co., Of West street, are now
building the engines. The model Of
the hull is said to be the finest ever
made for q river craft. ,,. ....
1t is something new in marine archi-
lecture and its advantages are many.
An iron hull will carry more supsrin-
cumbent weight, at the same time
draw less water. than a wooden hull of
the same size, and thus permit a con-
siderable increase in the speed, owing
to the reduction of resistance. The
placing of the machinery below will
give greater space on all the decks,
particularly the hurricane deck. which
is now practically forbidden to passen-
gers on river steamers. In boats of the
new pattern it can be as freely used as
the other decks, the weight of the ma
chinery in the hold giving the boat
greater steadiness.
