What Does IL Mean
TIE MYSTERY OF A HORSE

On Saturday evening, June q, two
young men, whom the hos tier did not
particularly notice, drove Ane looking
black horse into the stable yards of the
Delaware House and asked to have the
horse cared for. They then left and
have not since been heard from. The
horse still remains In the stable, without
an owner.
Several coniectures were started A. to
the cause of the strange actions on part
of the young men who left the hsrse.
Mr.. Green says that he first thought
they had gone on spree, but he does
not think a spree could last this long
and is of the opinion that 1t must be q
very peculiar kind of drunk that weuld
make them forget their horse. There Ia
now suspicion that something is wrong
and that suspicion has assumed the
shape of An idea that the horse is stolen
and the young men left it, thinking they
we're closely pursued.
The animal is shiny black, about
twelve years old and Is slightly wind
CALLED on the hind legs The vehicle in
which they came is large carriage, 8
little the worse for wear.
The Delaware House folks will wal
until the 10th inst for the owner TO come
and claim the property, and II they &c
not appear by that time 1t will be SOLD u

not long one. The beach has been
nicely fitted up with many improvements,
among which is new pavilion and new
bath houses. Tickets 25 and 80 cents.
Tickets can be procured at the wharf
in the morning, or of G. s. Cleland

A Natural NAtAtOriuln.

Twenty or thirty small boys, entirely
naked and filling the air with just such
profanity as the diminutive street Arab
Is capable of, took possession Of Mr..
Weldin's lumber wharf on the far side
of the Christiana last evening and turn
ed it into natatorium. There was a
constanl splashing and diving from 7 to
$50. The most Of the lads would mount
one of the posts, extending about fifteen
feet out of water and then would take a
summersault Into the creek, giving vent
to loud whoop in their descent. All
this took place in full view of the moon
light excursion but no effort was made
to put a stop to the nuisance.

Cox the Murderer.

from Luo ~. L ouhs tlt
Chastine Cox was arraigned at the bar
of the General Sessions yesterday for the
murder of Mrs Hull, hesitated when
asked TO plead, and finally left the mat-
ter to his counsel, who entered . plea Of
not guilty. The case was set down for
trial two weeks from yesterday, subject
to approval by Judge Cowing, who Is to
preside, and the defence asked that an
extra panel of one thousand jurors. he
ordered. Apparently the object Il TO
obtain jurors who have not formed some
decided opinion in regard to the qaee.
As Cox has freely ACKNOWLEDGED htmJSif
guilty of murder to every person who
cared to listen to his story, and e his 70
peated confessions have been read by
hundreds of thousands of readers 10 win
probably be difficult to procure twelve
men who have not concluded Coz to be

he is-the person who, while engaged in
robbing Mrs. Hull, inflicted Injuries
upon her Which caused her death. a;5is

More Church Troubles.

lsbury NJ. L. Church is now shaken
h centre to circumference over q
pble of rather a curious nature, the
of which was never experienced in
church before.
eyer4l weeks ago, Esquire George s.
gany was cited TO appear before o
lyanee committee of the church to an
h charge of refusing 10 honor a note
500, which he had given to one Jo-
b Robinson, of this city, about thirty
en- years ago. Mr.. Hagany promptly
| the committee in person, and by his
lnsel, Rev. J. B. Mann, and the trial
eed-d. Mr.. Hagany's defence was
be had paid the note over thirty
lr ago, but as Mr.. Robinson had lost
note or could not find ii at the time, he
X bis receipt for the payment. This
(eipt was slowed away with other pa
!, and fiually was either lost or
fown away, Mr.. Hagany giving no
ther thought to the affair until it was
|enty brought to his notice in the
pve surprising manner, Mr.. Robinson
Fing meanwhile found the note and de-
lnded payment.
Before the committee bearing was over
qulre Hagany, by the advice of his
inse, abandoned the case, being dis
lshed with the rulings of Rev. j. A. B.
lson, pastor of Asbury Church, who
slded over the meetings of the COM
ttee.
These rulings were considered by MIR.
