THE MARKETS.

The curb stone markets on King
street, presented what might fifty be
termed holiday appearance this MORN
ing. Every farmer who had anything
to sell in the way of poultry, and IN an
ticipation Of gathering in1 sne golden
ducats had his wagon backed up, and
his goods displayed. The market was a
very large one extending from Front 10
Ninth street, and it only needed hasty
glance to satisfy oneself that both buy
ers and sellers were in good humor.-
The attendance of buyers and their
loaded baskets was sure sign thai the
times had improved. There was very
little grumblng at the prices, although
they ruled somewhat high. What would
be Thanksgiving without turkey ? 1t
is hard Oh the turkeys but the people
must have them, and the farmers know
l. this, gathered in their tiocks, and the
consequence was that hundreds were
slaughtered to appease the appetites OF
our citizens.
1t would be impossible to give the eX-
act number that were offered for sale, but
they ran up into the hundreds. The
fowls were of all sizes, and mmanded
from IA to 16 cents per pound. A fair
sized one could be purchased TOR $l.25,
while larger ones ranged in prices from
Sl.75 to So. Chickens, ducks and geese,
were also offered in abundance, but did
not meet with as ready sale as tur-
KEYS. The necessary articles to make a
Thanksgiving dianer table complete
were also I'D abundance.

MAN GROUND TO PIECES BETWEEN

READING, Nov. 23.-Btween and 4
o'clock this morning a terrible accident
occurred at the pipe mill of the Reading
Iron Works on South Street, this city.
j. NJ. Houck, aged twenty-eight years,
living on NJ uhlenburg street, above Elev-

IL appears he went to the cog-wheels for
the purpose of procuring a weight OF
some kind, and In order to get at what
he wanted, it was necessary TO remove
several planks that cover the immense
wheel and chain.
After taking away the boards he reach.
ed down for the weight when, in some
manner, with terrible crunching OF
bones, he was drawn into the cogs and
manged in terrible manner. The
workmen near by could render no assist
ance, and before the unfortunate man
could be extricated from his appalling
position he was literally ground to
nince-meat. Shreds of flesh, pieces of
bones and clots of blood adhered to the
cogs after the man was removed.

THE OUTRAGE MILL.
ANOTHER CASE PATCHED UP TO MAKE
COSTS FOR FEDERAL OFFICIALS.


Austin V. Gaynor, Democrat who
was Inspector of Election in the First
Ward, on the 2rd of this month, was
arraigned before Chief Supervisor j. S.
Valentine, yesterday afternoon. on the
charge Of accepting All Illegal vote al the
election. The circumstances of this
case are as follows:
Patrich Smith, solid Democrat, who
resides in Browntown, South Christiana
HID, drives coal cart, for John w .
Griffith. On election day there happened
TO be 30 much business at the yard that
Democratic Patrick could not be spared
long enough to walk out to Newport and
vote, as he willingly would have done,
and disflanclisemeut stared him plainly
In the face.
About noon, while delivering load
of coal, he happened TO pass the First
Ward polls, and the thought occurred ia
him that as the same cRet was being
voted for all over the county he could
as legally vote here as in South Christi
ana Hundred. He went up To the win
dow and explained the situation to ILL.,
spector Gaynor, whereupon the latter,
after qualifying him to the effect that he
had not previously voted and would rot
attempt to vote at any other voting place,
accepted his ballot. Nobody was mean
enough to object to this proceeding ex-
cepting Bill Miller, the butcher, who
was the Republican window man.
For voting in this manner Patrick was
arrested and held In $500 bail for his
appearance at the January term of the
U. 5. Circuit Court. This arrest was fol-
lowed yesterday by GaJ uor's and he also
was held in $500 bail To- his appearance
at Court.
These two cases are so trivial as to
warrant the belief that they are actuated
either by a spirit Of persecution or a
desire to obta II as much costs as possible
out of this delectable business 1t has
been held for years in this county that a
man can legally vote as Smith voted.
-Four years ago a negro residing in
Christana Hundred voted at the Fifth
Ward polls without giving his residence,
and when arrested gave as an excuse that
he cou.d not get home III time 10 vote
legally at any other polling place. His
excuse was accepted and he was moi
prosecuted though he clearly voted with
illegal intent in not giving his place oi
residence at the time he voted and max
ing his explanation then. Republicans
then thought it was an awful outrage tc
arrest this negro, but doubtless the SAME
men will say it is all right now to moi
only arrest but prosecute Patrick Snitf
and Inspector Gaynor for countenancing
the same kind OF voting.

ATTEMPTED INCENDIARIsM.

Early on Monday evening a
dastardly attempt was made to
fire the residence of Mrs. Dougherty,
N. W. corner of Eighth and Church
streets.
About 0 O'Clock one Of the
neighbors informed Mrs. Dougherty
that her back shed was on fire.
With the assistance OF her informant
the fire was quickly extinquished by
the application of a few buckets of
water. Later in the night other at
tempts were made to fire the house,
and in order to make the attempts
successful the would-be incendiary
poured coal oil in three different
places on the building and set fire
to it. Fortunately the attempts did
not succeed, as the oil was burned
up, but the flames failed to ignite
the wood work. Mrs. Dougherty
has no idea as to who made the at
tempt to fire her residence.

A BRIToN's INSULTS RESENTED

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 23.-The Off
GERS of the navy yard here are excited
and indignant at the action of the cap
tain of the British steamer Sandring :
ham which was wrecked off Cape
Henry head few weeks ago. The
Secretary of the Navy gave permission
for her to be repaired at the dry dock
in the navy yard, and Lhe dock was
gotten ready to receive her, notwith..
standing it was needed for one of the
vessels belonging to the navy. Yes
terday afternoon the Sandringham was
placed in the dock, when, without
cause, the captain of the Sandringham
launched the bitterest abuse upon the
American navy, its officers and flag.
The facts were reported to the COM
mandant of the yard in writing, and
Commodore Hughes ordered the yes
sci to be taken from the yard at once.
The Sandringham is still afloat in the
dock, Commodore Hughes having Or
dered that no work be done on her until
instructions are received from the Secre-
tary of the Navy.

child's screams, it is said, are heard

are undoubtedly intense.
