twenty miles was finished aud the lain

Last night Superintendent Connell with
forss Of men went out In Q car with the
big freight engine, No. 4, for the purpose
OF clearing the track for the morning
trains. The car got of the track this side
OF Klamsnsi, and had TO be left, but the
engine went on and after heavy fighI
reached Lsndsnburg.
Coming East, this morning, the
train drawn by engines Nos. 4 and Q,
proceeded as far as Kiamensi without
much trouble, but between Kiamensi
and Newport Road crossing the road
was in a fearful condition. In some
places the snow was from seven to
eight feet deep on one side u the
track and from three to four feet deep
on the other. In fighting this block
ade the engine would be cut loose
from the cars and dashed into the
snow until it yielded and spread away
on both sides of The track. Twicv
No. . got off the track, and when abe
got through there was about a ton OF
snow resting Oh the pilot. On account
OF the trouble in breaking a way ovsI
the track, 6ve hours were consumed in
making the run of twenty miles from
Landenburg to this city. The west
bound train will run as usual, this
evening.

Tbs Reduction in
Clothing at Oak
Hall.

The clothing marked
down Saturday comprised
about 5000 suits and over
coats. Both the suits and
the overcoats are various
enough to constitute a
complete stock of them
selves, 80 that you may
be reasonably sure of find
ing among them what will
both suit and fit you.
Some of the very lowest
priced mems suits we make
rro among them; $40 reduced
to $8 so, and some Of all
grades up to excellent suits
at go, reduced to $50 and
$27 90 reduced to $25.
A $40 ovsrcoat at sic SO
is not to be missed on a cold
morning. Even the boys,
whose clothing has been wait
ing for this cold snap will not
object to the taking off OF
three or four dollars from
the cost of suit and overcoat
Remember this All these
garments were made by our
people. under our own eye,
and before this reduction
were marked as low as they
ought to be sold. We couldn't
afford to reduce them, but
we must sell ia ter to keep uI
with our work people.
We know how to sell fas.
ter, viz, by selling lower,
We have been selling fastel
for nineteen years, faster thar

ployed on the farm of Jacob Snyder,
about four miles from Wilmington,
came into town on Christmas Eve, and
while passing through "Forty Acres, -
on bis way home, was assaulted by two
men, who knocked him down. To
save himself from further injury he
feigned insensibility, when the assail.
ants filched from his pockets whai
little money he had, and few minor
articles, Of small value. Just previous
to the assault he had been getting

the offenders.
After the assault Hopkins came TO
the police station and spent the night.

DEAR SIR:-In reply TO yours Of the

punishment in this State. This form
of punishment is part of the penalty
for burglary, larceny and petty thefls,
and the present deputy sheriff, who
has held that position for The past 25
years, says so far as his experience
goes, 1t Is the best and most effective
law we have for those crimes. The
robbers of the Delaware Bank Of Will
mington, who were convicted In this
State few years ago, were more dis
gusted with, and dreaded the whip
ping post more, than any other part
Of their sentence, and expressed them
selves to that effect, saying ''they
would never again be caught in Della
ware" In some instances an offend
er has been whipped the second time,
but such cases are very rare.
Respectfully yours,

NEWARK, Dec. es, 1880.
Christmas was one Of the quietest
days we have had for some time, there
not being the least demonstration OF
any kind going on. There were but
few drunken men, and but very little
travel owing no doubt in large
measure to the inclemency OF the wea-
ther. Service was held in st. Pat
rick's Church, and it was also intend
to hold service IN st. James Episco-
pal Church, but owing to the illness
of tha rector, Rev. Y. A. Stone, there
was none held.
One or two persons were fined FOR
not cleaning Off their pavsments IN ths
time stated by the town ordinance
This should serve rs n warning tc
others not to be caught in the same
fx.
The C, c. B. held their second bal
of the season ON Christmas eve, but il
was poorly attended. Dancing seems
to have outgrown itself in Newark.
Miss Ida B. Ruth, daughter Of Mr.,
Levi Ruth, residing near Ogletown,
died on Friday last aud was inferred
in White Clay Greek cemetery yestsr'
day. For long time she was deai
and could not speak and very much
crippled, bat a few months ago sne re
ceivsd through an act of faith in the
power OF God, her hearing, and wal
also enabled to talk and told her par
ents that she had been talking with
her Lord and that she would live one
year from that date, but the latter
prophecy was not fulfilled as it has on
ly been about months since she made
this declaration.
The new Methodist hymnal will be
introduced in the Newark Church on
next Sunday.

HEAVY DEFALCATION IN BOSTON
The City Cashier $4,000 Short.

BOSTON, Oct 1S-JnO A. Woodward who for
Is years has been in the service OF the treasury
department Of this city, holding during the last
few years the position of cashier. is alleged to
be defaulter to the amount Of $50, O00 From
the disclosures made 1t appears that Wood
wards first derelicion was on June 10, 1876
less than a year after his appointment as
cashier, when he drew a check on the sinking
fund for $4,000, but this he restored week
later. His next venture was on January 5, 1917,
when he drew check for So, 600, having COW
cred his tracks successfully by means of trans
fers from one account to another. At various
times thereafter he covered deficiencies OF
s5 600, $22 Geo and $50 600 until the total reached
$50 0Oo. beside some deficiencies amounting to
few hundred dollars In his petty accounts
The sinking funds do not lose dollar. It is
evident that the cash OF the city account was
taken by Woodward and the hole made is COW
cred up by these checks Oh the sinking FUND.
The sinking fund commissioners and the con-
m1ttee on the treasury viii hold meetings this
morning and searching investigation win be
had. Woodward. who has disappeared was
about so years old and resided at Jamaica Plain.
He stood we'll socially and was not known to be
q SPECTATOR or eXtravagant In his expenditures
He was supposed to be a bachelor, but since the
discovery of his crime Miss Amy Know lton
supposed to belong In New York or Pniladel-
phia. has told his mother that she had been
married TO him for two wears.
