Special Correspondent OF the Republican,
NEW CASTLE, Aug. g.'l2, '79.
A man employed at the Delaware
Iron Works, by the name of Stokes, was
killed yesterday by being caught in
one OF the belts. His occupation was
what is termed an ''oiler," and while
Engaged in oiling some part of the ma
chinery he was caught by belt and
his head drawn in and mashed.
Hiram Boyle on Of the overseers saw
Stokes the moment after he was caught
and rushed forward and cut the belt
with a knife. The engine was then
stopped butthe mans head was crushed
most horribly. He fingered until 1.3O
p. M, when he died. MIR. Stokes leaves
wife and one son theson is employ d
at the same works.
John Boyle, resident OF Dobl,irs-
vile, died on Sunday evening with
cholera morbus; this is the first case
that has proved fatal in town for some
time past.
The steamer "Major Rsybold' when
OF the old navy yard last Saturday af-
ternoon, broke her shaft in the same
place she broke it few days ago. This
time she will have to have a new shaft
in. She will be able to go down the
bay this coming Sunday.
The trunk that is laid at Ninth and
Washington avenue, is broken in and
is very dangerous to carriages driven
over it. 1t should be fixed before soma
damage is done.
Five more prisoners were brought
over from Wilmington yesterday, and
installed in Fort Pyle. If they come
much faster than they have been com.
ing lately the Jail will be full to over
flowing. ...
The Delaware Iron Co. are going to
run out this week some of the largest

citizens will go down.
The Presbyterian church is having
erected new iron railing in front Of

fence is much handsomer than the old
one that there before. +.
Eggr~giously Taken In.
In yesterdays Issue of the '.Gazette"
there appeared an item revealing to
the students of botany the discovery Of
new plant. Its beauty was duty ex-
patiated upon and the course that led
to its appearance in this vicinity mar
ratively related. The yarn it seems
originated in the brain of an imagina-
tive young man who unrestrain. dly
and wlckedly played upon the bound
less gullability of the Gazette" repre-
sentative. The flower as pictured is
like an egg. The plant, stu npy and
thick with foliage, is full of that par
ticular kind of budding beauty. It,is
a Feejee plant, found in (hincoteague
Island aud transplated on Mr.. Matlack's

the mission Of Judge Bingham-the
spirit Of sympathy, support and concil-
iation-not only expressed my OWE
sentiments, bnt those ofAmerica. Amer
lea has much to gain in the East.
No nation has greater interest at stake.
But America has nothing to gain ex-
cspt what comes from the cheerful &C.

have rejoiced in your progress. We
have watched you step by stop. We
have followed the unfolding Of your
old civilization and Its absorbing the
new. You have had our profound sym.
pathy in that work, our sympathy in
the troubles which came with it and
our friendship. Ihope that our friend

As have said, America has great in,

Eastern populations than any other
Power. She can never be insensible

he got into deep hole. The words
"This is how deep 1t is here" that
came from him ~ he went under with
his hands over his head misled them
and it was only by his prolonged stay
beneath the water that led them to 60
to his assistance. 1t was some time
before the body was gotten ashore, end
then it seemed that life was extinct,
and consequently no effort was made
at resuscitation. Young slaughter was

Fate Of tho Shenandoah.

Everybody has heard of the Shenan-

southerners of the American civil wal;
but l do not suppose that many know
what was the ultimate fate of the ship
when the war ended. Of all places in
the world, she now lies "fathoms deep"
off the island of Socotra, in the Arabian
Gulf. Her story is strange one. She
was bury burning whalers in Behring
Straits, when Waddell, her commander,
the mildest.mannered man who ever
scuttled ship or cut throat" heard of
the collapse of the south. ~ His occupa-
ton, being gone, and being without home
or harbor to which he burst with safety
return, he ran the Shenandoah to Liver
pool, and immediately surrendered her
to her Majesty's ship Donegal in the
Mersey. She was handed over to" the
American consul, and afterwards bought
at auction by 'Nicol, Fleming & Co.-a
firm that has earned notoriety in con.
nection with the failure of the City 1oi
Glasgow bank-for the sultan of Zanzi.
bar. After remaining idly at Zanziba,
from for some years, she was sent tc
Bombay for repairs, but foundered of
Socotra, all hands being lost except one
