them to 60 away. Later the woman
cried "murder" and he arrested her.
Her husband came up and he arrested
him. The man said he came with his
wife from Toms river, N. j., but gave
no reason why he was an almless wan
derer. He, however, said he and his
wife would leave town in ten minutes,
and he was told to try the experiment.

The first announced is Joseffy, who
will give one of his inimitable perform
ances OH the piano on Wednesday next
Judging from the criticisms of some of
the leading papers of this country and
Europe, he has no equal on the piano.
The following is from the New York
Herald
1--WE can only say that he produced a
most profound sensation from the first
to the last note he touched and carried
the entire audience with him, securing a
complete triumph"
Joseffy is a very young man and stands
to-day as one of the greatest opponents
of the art of piano technique. 1t appears
that his performanc ces are as perfect In
Bach as In Liszt, and he executes
throughout the repertoire every NOR
ceau Of in the most delicate and refined
style. Undoubtedly one of the treats OF
the season is on the night of November
Sd. 1t will be gratifying to his many
friends in this community to know that
Mr.. Louis Blumenberg, the violoncel-
| list has been secured by the managers OF
Joseffy for a series Of concerts In con

day and last evening large amount Ut
stock passed into the hands of the friends
of Pennsylvania Railroad Company, but

There is no doubt that incase the friends
of the Pennsylvania Railroad are suo-
cessful, that corporation will take the
Delaware Western under its control
and establish wharf and landing on

THE PARTRIDGE LAw-ABoUT DUCKS
AND DUCK SHOOTING.

THE PARTRIDGE LAw-ABoUr DUCKS
AND DUCK SHOOTING.
Up In Delaware County, Pa, gunners
are after paitridges, though all the birds
shot thus far have been very small. In
this State the shooting of partridges Is
not legal until the first of November.
Tho duck shooting in Mary land will
commence on the 1st Of November, and
the prospects for the season are only
ordinary. Last year the ducking season
was one of the best, and 1t seldom Oc-
ours that two good seasons follow in
rotation. The Indications, two weeks
ago, however, were that there would be
enough ducks to make good sport for
the sportsmeD, and to allow fair re-
ueration to those who follow ducking
as bushes
The "Susquebanna fats" at the con-
huence of the Northeast aud Susque-
hanna rivers, and just at the head Of
Chesapeake bay are the famous ducking
grounds Of the country. Here the water
is shallow. and the beds of the rivers
give growth to huge amount Of luxuri-
ant and rank ssa grass, upon which the
ducks feed with avidity. With eager
zest and an almost vindictive spirit OF
sport the gunners await the appearance
Of the ducks, and from the opening to
the close of the season the ordinary still
ness of the losality Is broken by the
sharp shots of the death.dealing guns,
with scar ely an hours intermission
either day or night. The amount OF
shooting done IL enormous, and it is en-
timated that thousands of tons of sho I
serenely repose upon the bottoms of the
rivers, W hich, owing to the wild shooting
of the gunners, widely missed the In
tended mark and fell harmlessly into the
water.
Night shooting, through interdicted
by law, with heavy penalties for Often
ders, is still practiced by those who will
risk tine punishment for the sake of the
profits frequently realized from sin
Z IL nights work. At nights the ducks

or that a single shot cannot fail to dc
| terrible executi On among them, The
mghJ-gunners use a swivel, firmly i'm
bedded in a log, placed in the bow Of 9

A single discharge of thi'
murderous weapon Causes terrific slaugf
ter. and It is auth ritatiyely stated tha
Havre Grace might hawk" once pick
ed up 270 ducks as the result ola single
discharge of his swivel. He sold then
sum Tor a single nights work. The nigh
shooting, however, is frownet
upon by all reputable sportsmen,and thu
"night-hawk" is prosecuted withOL
mercy when detected in his unlawful
business.
Col. b. r.. Hei-le., of this city, has .
cosy little shooting box on tue North
east river, about nile from the flats
He is well provided with all the para
phernalia for successful Jucking, ant
will soon be actively engaged in his ia

Grenf Excitement.

The fact that Mrs. Zeigler, of Hospit-
al fame, was to have bearing yesterday
afternoon, at 3 o'clock, became very gem
orally known, and had the effect to draw
a Large crowd of curious people. By
two o'clock men began to gather in the
vicinity of Esquire Bertolette's office, on
Shipley street, between Third and
Fourth. As the hour of o'clock ap
preached the crowd began to augment to
such an extent that both sides of the
streets was crowded by men, who dis =
cussed the case both pro and con. As a
lady would approach the vicinity all
heads were eagerly turned 10 her direc-
ton, and she was watched until after
having passed the office of the Justice
Att.r waiting until 3 O'Clock the crowd
finding that Mrs. Zelgler wOnld not ap-
pear, slowly dispersed, carrying their
disappointment with them.
During the afternoon Mrs. Zeiger
gave bail for her appearance at Court.

The case of the Hospital scandal, b.

still another turn,
1t was announced in late edition of
the GAZETTE, yesterday, that Mrs. Zrig-
ler had waived hearing before Esquire
Brrtolette, on the charge of perjury,
brought by Mr.. Lynch, and had given
bail for her appearance at Court.
Some time last evening Mrs. Zeigler
few minutes after its birth. 1t is thought
that the excitemont which she has un-

premature birth. The Coroner will hold

Work at NeaU Castle.

THE "TRUE INwARDNEss" OF THE RU-
NOR OF MUCH WohK AND HIGH
WAGES.
1'ha GAzETTE's correspondent at New
Castle writes that a chppi' & from an
Elkton paper, in reference to work at
the Della " are Iron Works Qate Messrs.
Tasker & Co y is incorrect. The clip
ping stated that the pay amounted to
about SO per week. 1t Is true that some
young men from Elkton secured work at
hat place, but their wages amounted to
just So Y5 III rousd figures. This report,
the correspondent writes, has tendency
to bring large numbers of men from
long distance, who come expecting to
earn wages az large as painted. A good
many men employed in the foundry for
years only receive So IS and Sc per week.
AS IA general thing those who come IN
response to these rumOrs think the wages
too small, and either refuse TO work, OF
work short time and fiDally leave tewn
without paying their board bill.
