II L. Front street, was arraigned last
evening at police court on charge pre-
ferred by James Harkens. James after
complaint had been made did not come
and he and his brother were arrested

come days ago he tried to get a drink
but Tully refused him. He however
had seen his brother carrying whisksy
from the place recently. Owen then
stated emphatically that he had not
been in the saloon for month. This
case was dismissed, but the defendant
was held on charge of selling liquor
without State license and held In 5000

A China,naa's Dog.

ciple Of Confucius took the matter In
another light. "Hs Chinee mans pup
pee he heap barkee but no bitse he
good doggee; he no hghtee wild Melli-
can mans puppes." 1t seems that the
canine had irdiscreetly rushed into the
street, and was at once shadowed by
Prot. Hunt, c. T., who pursued the
luckless canine. Sam, seeing the dogs
danger, gathered him up and took him
up stairs, where he defed the author
ity Of the law. Owing to the China
mans inability to read English he was
relieved from the fine.

of the case, as he openly acknow lodged
at meeting Of the subcommittee in the

Hagany, Justice of the Peace of this

and his successor will be appointed by

successor will be is question Just now
occupying considerable political atten-
zion. Esquire Hagany would naturally
like to Jucceed himself, but he has
formidable opponent in the person of
Joseph w. Vandegrift, who likewise
thinks he would Ike to have that po-
sition. Between these two the contest
has been quite animated, and from an
utter indi ference as to the result of the
contest, people have to come TO look
upon it with considerable degree OF
interest. HH
Governor Hall spent last night in
Wilmington, and at the Clayton House
gave the friends of the two candidates an
opportunity to urge their respective
claims. Mr.. Vandegrift was represented
by IL. B. McIntire, Joseph l.. Carpen-
ter, Jr., Patrick Neary and ID. Taylor
Bradford, and Squire Hagany by him
selfand Albert Thatcher. Many other
gentlemen called on the Gov ernor du-
of either candidate.
Governor Hall returns to Dover to-
night, and will doubtless forward the
commission, TO the lucky recipient.
ESQUIRE Hagany is also a Notary Public,
but his term of office for this position
has two years to run.
