Police Court.

Sarah Fitzgerald, who is a white wo-
man, with chocolate skin and a voice
like buzz-saw, was tried by Mayor
Almond, last night, ON the charge of
disorderly conduct in Michael Clancy's
shoe shop, being one of the crowd who
went into the place and made such a
disturbance that VIM. Fitzgerald, her
alleged husband, and John Armstlo long
were arrested and tried yesterday morn
ing. She was fined 81 and costs.
Robert Wallace, lad with a reckless
look, was charged with disorderly con-
and setting fire to the fence of the Arctic
Ice Company. A negro boy testified
that Wallace was one of crowd who
threw stones at the ice house; he did not
see him throw any stones but caught
him firing the fence. Joseph d. Con-
row testified to the fact that the fence
had been burned. He was dismissed
from the charge OF disorderly conduct
and fined the costs, and held in 500 to
keep the peace for malicious mischief in
burning The fence.

slippery Streets.

Yesterdays storm of sleet succeeded
in imparting to this city the most slip
perry streets and sidewalks the people
have had TO contend against for several
winters. The pavements in most cases
were smoothly covered with an icy coat
ing that rendered the walking OF the
most treacherous character, and sooner
than trust themselves on such precari-
GUS footing, most people walked in the
streets. Here the walking, though ex-
ceedingly awkward, was comparatively
safe, but in some places, where the ice
had not been broken by passing teams,
the streets were in almost as bad con-
dition as the pavements. Smooth shod
horses had poor show, but those that
were shod in the proper manaer for win
ter service made out very we'll. The only
persons that derived any satisfaction from
the condition OF the streets were the boys
with sleds, who found ample opportuni-
ty for indulging in their favorite pastime
Of coaSting.

sented the "Little Duke" In style that

Estimating five aud half persons to a
mouse, which IL the generally accepted
estimate, this number of new buildings
would show an Increase in population of
over 10000, which added to &c, ,84l, would
give population of over 46. 600, or 1000
more than the estimate most generally
accepted by all who have carefully con>
sidered the subject ofthe city's increase
and growth.
Again, according to the statistics of
the Water Department, there are 6,S42
dwelling houses assessed for the use of
Brandy ywine water, aBd 1892 assessed fer
protection tax, on account OF having a
lire plug located within two squares,
making total of ,O34 occupied dwelling
houses q this city enjoying the advan-
tages OF the water SysAup to say nothing
OF those being supplied with water by
other means than the city water depart
ment.
AT an estimate of FIVE and one b Aft
persons TO house, this of itself would
Indicate a popu lation of over "A, 600, and
II a convincing proof that the estimate
of 10000 AZ the present population OF
Wilmington is more likely TO be too low
than too high.
The city at present has fifty miles of
water pipes, about the same length of
paved streets, 1l2 manufactures, 10 pub
lie schools, 81 churches, 81 stores that are
independent of dwellings, and 1863 drink
ing bars where the Brandywine water is
introduced. 1t has three balls for public
three railroad depots,
three large market houses and free
street market, a custom house and DO
office, a passenger railway line, and last,
hut not least, four Of the best daily news
papers published in the country. Its
manufacturing interests are large and
diversified, and are constantly increasing
in their extent and importance. IL has
numerous hotels, including one of the
finest in the country, and at the present
time there IL being erected within its
limits new Court House for the county
which, for Size, convenience al d general
appearance will be a credit to the grow.
ing city whose needs and interests ne
cessitated ITS erection.
A well known real estate agent of this
city confidently asserts that small dwell
ing houses will be in great demand here
during the coming year. He says that
last year, over 100 new houses were
erected in the eastern section of the city
alone, which are now all occupied. This
fact, he thinks, will be aptto render next
years building operations unusually &C.
tive.
Many other interesting facts might be
cited in proof of the eity's rapid growth
during the past three decades, but those
printed above will be sufficient to show
that this growth Is steady and substan-
tial and not the result OF any spasmodic
influences. They show that the past
ratio of increasing population is sull
prevailing with every Indication of con-
tiDuing in the future. The city is by no
means finished, ready to ''fenced in and
whltewashed." The growth of the past
gives hopeful assurance of the growth of

lung GIRL CHARGES HER BENE-
ioh a,a WITH A SERIOUS oFFEEsE.
h,d ne height of ingratitude was plainly
rousht ,r;ols forth yesterday afternoon in q
mh,a, dI peIore Esquire Brady, the facts Of
"nich are about as follows:
ina lay bowers, young girl, Of pleas
AZ sPpearance, appeared before the JUS
.h .e mentioned above and made oath tn
sno VIC enect that James Davis did, in Octo-
yoi last, commit an assault with intent
W rape her. The case was called for
appearing. ''' f'"i''''
=, ne piaintifftestifi that on the 2stb
nn NJ Ucloper last she arose early for the
purpose OF commencing the weakly
ta'nlg' She proceeded to the cellar
;or the purpose Of getting the necessary
implements, and while she was in tne
cellar the defendant came into the celia
ana assaulted her, with the intent of
committing a graver crime.
The plaintiff was the only witnass fr
VIC prosecution, but there were num-
, ue. Ior Inc defense. A lady, who resides
WIN the defendant, proved that on the
inornlng In question Mr.. Davis dad not
arise until one Of his wOrkmen called 10
get instructions In regard to certain work
mn,cn they were doing. She also testi-
ned that she was the first one up in the
mouse, and tha. she called the plaintiff
to get up. '
a. Inc workman who called testified
enat when he asked for the defendant he
was not out of bed, and he (the wituessl
stairs. o N"o uo"n
There being no further evidence tho
ustice dism lssed the charge, after a
rev remarks by Chas. b. Lore, sEsa..
VINO appeared for the defendant.
IL appears that the whole thing was n
conspiracy, concected for the purpose OF
iDlnring Mr.. Davis. The plaintiff was
eaken some years ago by him to raise.
ana ne did everything he could to make
ner hie pleasant and agreeable. A short
ume ago she commenced keeping COM
Pany with a young man to whom Mr..
Davis objected. She would not heed
MS advice, and In few DAYS ago she
leit the city in company Ewith the young
man. On Fnday last they returned to
Ihis city and were discovered by Mr..
Davis, who endeavored to persuade the
wsyward girl to return home. Thisshe
refused to do, but on the contrary repaid
his kindness by entering the suit above
alluded to.

distant day render this section one OF
the most important suburbs of this pros
porous and growing city.
As q striking incident showing the
appreciation of real estate In the south
eastern section of the city, may be men,
TONED the sale to the r. W. & b. X. r.
Co. by the late Mrs. Rebecca Stevenson,
or the tract OF land bounded by Front,
Second, Pine and and Spruce streets, on
which the Conpany's new round house
now stands. Before the war Mrs. Ste
venson was offered 81 900 for this tract,
Dy the late Thomas Young, who was
then 10 the ship-building business. but
acting on the advice OF some friends she
refused TO sell. The price paid by the

about Sl7 900, an increase OF over three
hundred per cent inside of twenty

Having thus briefly skefched the

The past thirty years, IL will next be IN
order to show the inorsase in popula-

Der of people iivingibere at.rhe present

cade, Was as follows:
.oooO,''''' '.'s..'.s............ 1879
o''''''''..'.'s.. s.................. II ,Z06

IL will be observed that the ratio Of
Increase between each census was about
NIFTY per cent, and estimating that the
same ratio has prevailed during the past
decade, which there Is no reason to
doubt, the present population can safely
6e placed, in round NUN bers, at 40, 600
hg1re which no obsesyant man, who
hes closely watched The progress of the
city will go below. In proof OF this
