A Little Son of Robert GOttingbam
Meets with n Fatal Accident.

A sad accident occurred on thu COM
mons between jackson and Van Buren,
streets near Maryland avenue about $50
o'clock Monday evening. A little 9-year-old
boy, son OF Robert Cottingham, foreman
of the City Water Department, and who
keeps a saloon at the corner of Liberty
street and Maryland avenue, was playing
in the lot at the time, and large white
morse belonging tn Edward Green was
grazing there.
Mr.. William +. Forsyth, an employee at
w. Y. Warmers morocco fac DRY, who
lives near by saw the horse and noticed
an object behind him but paid no par
tiuular attention to the matter, rs the
grazing of the horse on the commons is an
every day affair. Presently, however, he
saw the horse kick and thought he
caught a glimpse OF something fall i'll his
rear. The horse, which is very vicious
one, kicked second time and Mr.. For
syth started across the lot to inves-
tigate the matter He walked a
few steps but could see nothing
but the horse and concluding that he was
mistaken about seeing something fall he
half turned TO go back, hut just as he did
so gust OF Wind lifted the bays hat,
blew 1t over a time or Two and lei it diop.
Mr.. Forsyth then went immediately to
the spot and found little Thomas lying
upon the ground with one side ot his skull
crushed i'll.
He remained unconscious until Tuesday
morning at IL O'Clock when lie died.

The w. d N. r.. II.

The only public business transacted at
the Wilmington & Northern Railroad
Company's special meeting Tuesday, was
the adoption of 1.-the resolutions. pro-
viding for the raising of 100000 to
build the extension to the river. The
work on this extension will be pushed
ahead steadily with view of completing
it by next spring at the latest. The
Christ ana will be bridged 200 or 300 yards
above the pulp works. The object of the
company in building this extension is
simply to reach the Delaware river, and
all that has been said about connecting
with the Delaware Shore railroad, across
the river, is officially disavowed. A road
to the river is what is meant, nothing
more. If a Jersey connection grows out
of that, it will be something that is not
contemplated at present.

VANBHED.
A Former Neighbor Of Barney
R0senbIatt Follows HIS Example.

RosenbIatt Follows HIS Example.
Aaron Cohn-he has spelled his name
Cohen while in Wilmington-is mer-
chant tailor, who has been here for some
years, his original location being at
Second and Market streets. Lately, for
business purposes, he has occupied an
apartment in the building No. 2 East
Seventh street, while his family resided
and kept little trimming store at 1903
East SIKH street.
MIR. Cohn's latest place of business was
unfortunately next door to the tonsorial
apartments of the locally famous Barney
Roseubatt, whose sudden and artistic mid
night departure for parts nnascertainable
was written OF in the Jo-RNAL at the
time.
The spirit of Rosenhlatt seems to have
bean infused into Chm, AMI Monday night
that individual took the same method of
paying his debts, though he failed to give
the same tone to the event. Barney not
only removed his stock, but niutlated
tue walls of the building. Barney had a
wagon, into which he loaded his (and
other people's) goods. cohn simply
gathered up bis stock Of pants, vests,
&C., in his arms, and went away afoot
leaving the apartment he had occupied
almost vacant, but otherwise undis-
turbed.
His movements were catlike. This was
n ccessary, ior his place was closely
watched until a late hour in the night by
constable who had u foreign attach
ment for him, sworn out by one of his
creditors. The attachment had been pro-
cured on information that Cohn had re-
moved his family Monday afternoon,
which information was correct. Cohn was
too sly for the constable and Slipped away
with his little stock between the hours Of
l and 2 o'elo TX Tuesday morning.
He rented his establishment from the
same gentleman, Mr. John b. Lewis, who
was the landlord of Rosenbiatt. His debt
to Mr. Lewis, however, unlike that of his
exemplar, is very small. His small debts
around town are quite numerous, inclnd-
ing about $l9 due TO Mr.. RICHTER, who
does business in the SAME building.
The supposition is that the departed
has gone to Pottsville, Pa. 1t is also
supposed that he is not coming back to
Wilmington.

The schoon Aomiai, Field, from Sails
bury for Baltimore, in company with
several other vessels, was at anchor on
Thursday last about six miles from
Hooper's Island, Chesapeake bay, wait
ing the passing over of threatening
squall, when large waterspout suddenly
descended with the rapidity of lightning
and catching the Nomini turned her com
plrtely over. The captain and two other
men who were aboard, were thrown out
into the water and clambered up on one
of the other schooners. Though all the
vessels were lying near each other, the
NohRini was the only one the waterspout
touched. The revenue steamer Thomas
Egiag, Captain $. $. Warner, found the
schooner on Friday lying on her beam
ends in ten fathoms OF water and towed
her to Norman Cove, where she took bot
tom. The revenue men then righted
and pulled her up on shore, where she
was left in charge of the captain, who set
to work to pump her out preparatory to
floating her. The Nomini was damaged
to the extent of $500.

In,O Trouble.
About a month ago man representing
himself to be u real estate agent from New
York and giving his name as Chester Bush
well called at the Philadelphia Office of Nc
Lear d Kendall of this city and negotiated
for the purchase of eight new buggies aggre
eating in value IL 800, i'll payment for which
he offered notes drawn by A. w. Page IL Son
OF New York. II was learned that this firm
had all excellent reputation and
stood high with the commercial
asencea and it being further ass rtained
that the notes were genuine they were
accepted at the Philadelphia office and
Bushwell's order filed, the carriages being
shipped to East Orange, N. j., where Bush
well said he was about to open a livery stable.
When in the ordinary course of the bust
ness the notes came into the hands of MeSsrs.
McIear II Kendall, they felt that they would
like to have little more light upon the
security of the notes. and to that purpose put
the matter III the hands of n commercial
agency, which reported shortly aiterward
that Page II Co. had become Il stock concern,
and that the notes, M drawn, were of doubt
full value.
MIR. Kendall at once went to Newark, N. j..
and with the assistance of a detective. found
four Of the carriages in carriage depository.
where they had been sold for about half their
value. The other buggies were also found at
various places IN Newark and East Orange
and ON Saturday night BUSHNELL WAS arretttd
at East Orange. where he resides. MIR
Kendall preferred a charge of conspiracy to
defraud against him and he was locked up to
await hearing.

The Salem IN. ~ National .>ta"idrd
says: "As the steamer Parry was leaving
the wharf at Delaware City, on Monday
week, she came in contact with the
tug Hudson, making it necessary to use a
fender. Martin Ryan, a deckhand on
the Perry, was using the fender, and
finding it was about to slip from his
grasp placed himself between the two
boats to save it, when he was caught and
rolled some distance, sustaining severe
injuries about the ribs and back. Had it
not been for the timely assistance of the
hands on board of the tug, he would
probably have fallen overheard aud
