DOGIsMs.
sOme Biting That has Been Done
Around Third NtPeee BsIdxe.

AEOuuu ADbTu street Bf10H0s
About year since dog owned by Mr..
Bareford who tends Third Street Bridge,
slightly bit Mr.. Fred Minger, who
resided near the bridge. As nothing
allied the dog at the time. no attention
was paid to the affair. The sad fats Of
Mr.. Powell has added interest to the
matter in the mind of Mrs. Minger. the
wife of the man bitten. and she yester-
day demanded that the dog should be
killed.
Mr.. Bareford alleges that the dog is
entirely healthy and never showed any
symptoms Of hydrophobic nature, and
he thought 1t nonsensical on the part
Of the lady to desire its death at this
time. He however gave her permission
to have it killed II she wished alleging
that he himself could not do 1t. Since
learning the above facts from Mr.. Bare.
ford himself We are credibly informed
that the dog yesterday bit Mr.. Lucas
who is employed on one Of the shifters
of the p. W. & B. r. R., and also an
other man whose name could not be as.
certained.
Apup owned by Mr.. Martin, residing
over Third Street Bridge, bit his lit.
tie son Willie few days ago, when
yesterday, lola Martin, a sister, under.
took TO drown the pup when 1t bit her
severely on the hand.
Willie Goodman then took the ami
NAL and drowned 1t in pond after
which he buried it. There was ap-
parently nothing the matter with the
pup, but the little. ones believed in the
safest method to prevent any unpleasant
consequence and hence their action.

THIRD EDITION.
GUARDING THE GOLD.
,tow the Great Treasures In the
New York sub Treasury are Pro-

tected.
New York Correspondent Troy Times
This structure contains at present
sll4, 900, 900 of the national wealth.
The details may be given thus--Sll, )
oOO. 900 in silver. $l30, 1000, 900 in gold
and 1923, 900, 600 in greenbacks. The
new silver vault, which has been N
use some months, will store $40, 900,
900, and the present prospects indicate
that it will soon be filed. The vault
Ia in the basement and connected by
An elevator with the specie room on
the main floor. The silver is placed Ill
bags con aiming 81 900 each, and the
varied issue of coins are kept separate.
Gold is held in bags containing %, 600,
and greenbacks in packages each OF
one Thousand notes. In addition TO
the silver vault there are two other
vaults on the main floor, each OF which
il built on the plan OF lirst class sale.
They contain the gold and the green
backs, the lock combination being held
by Mr.. Ashley, the specie clerk, aud
MIR. Britain, the cashier. Once a month,
the surveyor OF the port, makes an ex-
animation OF the treasure on hand. but
with this exception it is under the
care of the above mentioned officials.
At night four men, suitably armed,
are put on guard and patrol the main
floor. Eight men are engaged in the
service, their tour being alternate
nights. During the day there are two
policemen in their usual uniform on
.nuty in the hall, in addition to which
two detectives in ordinary citizens
dress are keeping watch. One of these
(Thomas Simpson, is an expert of high
order of skill, and hence commands a
salary of eighteen hundred dollars a
wear. These detectives often see pro
fessional thieves lettering around, but
as the latter all know Simpson, his
presence prevents any attempt OF crime.
The watchmen receive SIS per month.
They ceme in at o'clock in the after
noon Cat which time the detective
leaves, and then lock up and remain
until relieved in the morning. In ad-
dition to this the treasury has lately
been put in condition OF defense
against the attack ofa mob. The win
dows are protected by steel bars, and
the inside shutters are perforated with
loopholes. The entire clerical force is
seventy, for each of whom lnuskes is
kept in the armory. Such force
could hold large body at bay, but in
addition to this Gatling guns will be
stationed on the roof, which will ensure
the safety of the place against popular
violence. The vast institution is under
the general care of Thomas Hiilhouse,
Assistant Treasurer. He was bred in
the western part of the State, but has
held his present office fer several years.
His salary is SIS, 000-a small sum for
one who must give bonds to the amount
of half million. Next in official i'm
portance is Cashier Britain, whose
salary is 1000. The pay here is gen,
orally small, and all immense business
is done in very economical manner.

whole business portion of the town,
excepting one store and the Weldon

was damaged by fire last evening, to
the extent of $4,000. Five hundred
hands are temporarily thrown out OF
employment.

A WORKING Minister.

Though perhaps not so eloquent as
some there is no minister in the Will
mington Conference that works hari lei
and is generally more successful than
the Rev. A. D. Davis, formerly stationed
at Epworth in this city, but now sta
toned at Zion, Cecil county, Md. He
has Just closed protracted meeting at
Eben. zer charge, Zion circuit, with l0l
conversions and % accessions to the
ch urch. He has also commenced revival
meetings at 81. Johns appointment a
new church but recently finished. Here
he has had penitents and conversions
up to Sunday last. At both appoint
ments the congregations have been be-
yond the capacity of the churches to
hold, and an intense religious interest
has been excited through that whole
region of country.
Some years ago Mr.. Davis finished a
three years pastorate at Wyoming with
! 900 conversions. He afterwards spent
three years on Harrington circuit, and
with colleague had LOCO conversions
and $50 additions to the church. The
three Years he spent at Georgetown he
more than doubled the membership
He then spent one year at Epworth and
Madeley Chapels in Wilmington, where
he carried on the great tabernacle meet
ing and returned over 100 conversions
for the year. He afterwards spent a
three years prosperous term at Mt.
Pleasant church, Brandywine Hundred,
and now he has already had over 100
conversions in Zion circuit, with two
other good meetings in progress. But
this does not include all of Mr.. Davis
work.
In Wyoming circuit he built two
churches, one on Harrington circuit,
repaired the Georgetown church, Sc.
cured parsonage at Mt. Pleasant, and
in all his appointments he has been
successful in the management Of church
finances and securing benevolent col
lections. Mr.. Davis is a pleasant and
congenial companion, warm friend
and faithful to his calling, just such a
man as is required for Methodist
itinerant and a successful worker. OF
him thousands will rise up in the day
of Judgment and call him blessed.

No Truth In II.

The Gazette" yesterday Published
an article headed "Another damage
suit" in which it gave All account Of q
"capias" which was to be served upon
Anthony Higgins, ESD, upon oath OF
w. B. Hickman, the latter claiming
damages for the aspersion cast upon
his official character by the charge Of
neglect OF duty, which hadsbeen pre-
ferred by Mr.. Higgins. The simple fact
of the item appearing in the "Gazstte'
made it fsny in our estimation, and
upon inquiry we find, as we suspected,
that there is no truth whatever in it.

A. D. Abbott had a hearing before
ESQUIRE Cole, las. evening upon the
charges of selling liquor on Sunday

arrested on Saturday aud committed on
the charge OF assault.
After Frazer had been committed

formed him that if he did not "let ~
on Frazer it would be made hotter than

of the witnesses last evening Mr.. Abbott
informed the magistrate that walls ap
preached him, and remarked ne sup
posed that this prosecution was part O
the heating process.
Walls was the frs, witness called fol
but in response TO repeated request FOL
James to come forward, tina: gentleman
persistently refused to put in an ap'
pearance. James Donnell being sworn
az witness No. ., testified he had never
seen liquor sold on Sunday at Abbotts
place. He himself had not been in the
saloon for over two months.
WIN. Ziesler the Fifth ward repeater
and habitual drunkard testified that he
was in Abbott's place about four weeks
ago. At the close of Ziegler's testimony
Mr.. Abbott demanded his arrest on the
charge of perjury. VIM. Taylor, the
next witness, testified that he had
drank two glasses OF beer in Abbotts
place about two months ago; he had
never heard of any disturbance at the
place before the 18th Of September last
Mr.. Abbott was held in 5000 for court
in each case making $500 in all.
Shortly after the above cases were
disposed of Mr.. Abbott had a hearing

ing tippling house. James Wall also
brought this suit. He was fined $40
and costs on the charge of keeping a
Tipping house, and 5000 for Court on
