An Amateur Ash Collector.

On Saturday evening two young men
going along Front street between French
and King streets, thoughti it would be
fun to kick over barrel Of ashes that
WAS standing on the pavement. With
out mnch de.iberation one of them up
set the ashes into the street, and the
two passed on up Front street laugh
ing, and no doubt thinking they had
performed very smart action. Ser
Qeaut Jones who was standing at Front
aud K ing streets, witnessed the whole
transaction and when the young men
came up, he ordered them to return and
gather the ashes up this they at first
refused to DO, bnt upon the Sergeant
giving them the alternative of doing
what they were ordered, or going to the
hall, and possibly being fined S5 and
costs for throwing dirt into the street,
they choose the first, and silently re-
turned and gathered up the ashes, and
parties who saw the transaction said
that they did not laugh a bit while they
were doing it,

Pheasant Sna~sing.

When hunting rufed grouse, or
Pheasants, as they are, usually called,
1t IL best to be In the fleld at IN early
hour, as they visit their feeding
grounds as soon as the sun is fairly up.
They are very fond Of berries OF every
descri ption, and may be found early in
the morning in the hollows where those
bushes abound. A good grouse dog
should be a staunch, slow working set
ter with a keen nose, and even then is
seldom reliable unless he is especially
broken on this bird, in hunting which
knowing birds observe the following
points, briefly given by US becau SO they
will be better remembered, and our
space demands brevity: Look for your
birds on the sides and foot of hills that
are overgrown with cedar, spruce
and laurel. If your bird is flushed at
the foot of hill, he will most likely
ascend it in his fright, and If he does
not settle on the near side of 1t, he Will
do so just over the top, when he VIII
lie closer to the dog than when first DIS
turbed. When flushed on top of tie
hill they will fly downwards and very
often make a rapid turn when they
reach the bottom, either to the right
OF left. Grouse are easily alarmed
by the human voice; they will bear
the presence of dog or the report OF a
gun much better than they will q sln-
gle word spoken by the sportsman.

A Family Quarrel.

A young man was before the Mayor
on Saturday evening chargeds by his
stepfather with disc rderly conduct, and
threatening him with bodily harm.
The Mayor after hearing the evidence in
the case, said that it was only family
quarrel, and was about todischarge the
young man, when the stcptather again
came forward aud swore that he was
afraid of his life in consequence Of
threats which he claimed the prisoner
had mada The Mayor accordingly
held him m the sum Of 300 bail to keep
the peace and ordered HIM to pay the
costs.
While witness was testifying in the
above case, a ma, in the crowd said in
a loud voi1e, That's id lie,
clock that imam up" said the Mayor,
and the officers lost no time in obeyinp
the order. Before leaving the office the
Mayor instructed the chief to release
the man about ten O'clock, and il is
probable thai he has learned to keep q
still tongue in his head in the future.

from the officers and bidding them good
bye, ral and jumping on passing

il it had not have been for the officers
who wen close to him, he would have
failed under the wheels of the cars. He
had hearing on Saturday evening, on

he had violsted was passed at the re-
quest of the company in whose employ
he was, and imposed a fine of$5 and

QUE CITY FATHERS.
They Meet to Examine the C0ndi.
Siou Of Seventh Street.

In accordance with resolution In.
troduced by Mr.. McMenalnin. on Fri
day evening, City Council met last
Saturday afternoon at $50 o'clock, at
Seventh and Pine streets, to examine
The members were unanamous in the
opinion that the street was in very bad
order, being filled with gullies, and GER
tainly needed repairing. The Council
however in view Of the fact that there
are many other streets fully AZ bad,
and on account of the condition Of the
Street Department appropriation, did
not think it advisable to take any
action toward repairing it at present.
From Seventh street, the Council start
ed on trip over the Brandywine, and
were ferried across in boats at three
cents each. After being safely landed,
they they proceeds to Davis street
between Heald and Claymont, to view
the grading of that street, which if car.
ried out according to the plans would
leave two houses belonging to Mr. Will
liam II. Patterson, about five or six
feet above the level of the street. Mr.
Patterson was present, and explained
the matter to Council, and stated that
if the present plans were carries out 1t
would depreciate the value Of his pro-
p.rty very much. Council after con.
sulting on the matter ordered the street
to be graded up to a knuckle, III
front Of the property, and then descend
to the proper grade on the other side.
After receiving the thanks Of Mr.. Pat
terson, Council adjourned.

On March the 10Th, it is alleged that
Atoine Corso, desperate character,
murdered the first mate of the Ameri-
can ship Abbie Bacon, in the Mediter-
ranean sea, near Gibraltar He was ta-
ken ashore to the United States Consul
who ordered him to be sent heavily
ironed to Mabella, Spain, and placed on
the American SHIP Florella, and
brought to the United States for trial.
The Florella was bound for Philadel-
phia, and during the storm on Thurs
day last, was one Of the vessels that
was wrecked near Cape Henlopen, and
in the excitement occasicned by the
storm, the prisoner, although manacled,
jumped into the sea which was rum
ming mountains high, and swan ashore.
AZ soon as the storm abated word was
sent ashore to Lewes, ,andotiicers started
in pursuit of the fugitive After pro-
tracted search the prisoner was cap
tured on Friday, and placed in the Gus
todv of Deputy U. s. Marshal Truxton.
He was given hearing before DIR. Nix
on, the o. s. Commissioner. and was Or
dered to the custody of Marshal McMul-
LID, lux GIltl UclOlC Guo y ulbou Oldtco
Court.
The prisoner was then cor fined in the
Jail at Lewes, a somewhat riCkety
place. The train was to 60 at noon. As
Marshal Truxton was making prepara-
tons for the trip the prisoner escaped
by knocking out an end piece in the
building, and took to the woods. He
was pursued and again captured near
Nassau, about three miles from town.
He was manaced at the time The de-
putty took him to Georgetown, and there
placed him il the county Jail, which is
much stronger than the Jail at Lewes.
As an additional precaution the prison.
er was nanacled. In the meantime
Marshal McMullen having received a
telegram that the prisoner would be
sent to him, awaited the coming of the
6 20 train on Saturday evening. With
him were several deputies. The train
came but the prisoner did not.
At o'clock this morning Marshal
left this city for Georgetown
on special car provided for him
through the kindness of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company. He will
bring Corso to New Castle and lodge
him in prison, where the murderous
sailor will remain until his trial takes
place in the United States Circuit Court
