TWELVE TRAMPB ARRESTED BY THE Po-

CASTLE.
With the opening of the peach season,
every year, portions OF this State are
overrun with tramps. These tramps
come from all points of the country, IL
their stories are to be believed. They
usually strike this city first and loaf
around the streets and suburbs two or
three days before going down the State.
While here they give our citizens con-
siderable trouble, and they are also a
great annoyance TO the railroad oompan-
les, rs they loaf around until train is
about TO leave for down the State, when
they will board 1t In large mum bers, and
when the train men remonstraIe with
them they become very imrudent; and
II there Is q sufficient number OF them on
the train to resist, they refuse to leave it.
For the past two days a numbe OF
tramps have cOngregated In the vicinity
of the delaware, Western round house,
aud yesterday they engaged in fight.
Superi ntendent ConneIl happened TO
be IN the vicinity, and he ordered the
men away. They refused to 90, and one
OF the number, giving his name ~ Jo-
seph Chambers. threatened to shoot Mr.
Connell II he did not leave. This he re.
fused TO do, but caught hold OF tlA tramI
and started with him for tho Hall Th.
| other traDps started to their compan
IONS rescue, but fortunately Officer
