City Council, last evening, met in
adjourned sess on at Delaware avenue
and Adams street, and examined Haz-
lett street, a small thoroughfare ex-
tending from Adams to Jackson street
between Eleventh and Delaware ave-
nue.. This street WAS originally laid
out by the late David g. Wilson, but
has never been accepted by the city.
The owners now deslre the city to ac~
cept it and establish grade, as they
desire to improve it fully, one gentle
man, Mr.. Chas. Reynolds, being ready
as soon as the grade is fixed, to build
thirteen excellent brick dwellings,
Council agreed to accept the street, at
fifty feet wide, and will have the grade
established soon.
Council also proceeded TO Conrad
and Adams streetD, and viewed the
deep gully across the lot. which will
have to 6e filled up to extend Conrad
street over to jackson. Parties de-
string to build on Jackson street want
the bed of Conrad street, as extended,
to be accepted by Council and filed
up, but as the street is only 80 feet

depth of 25 feet IN some portions Of
the lot, Council postponed the consid-
Grafton of the subject until the regular
meeting on Thursday night.

avenue and DUPONT street, and viewed
the location of the pr jposed sewer, af-
Ter which they went to Fourteenth
and Scott streets, where the slight de-
hscliOn of water cours, and the con-
struction of sewer across Scott
street is necessary before the sidewalk

uon we have 16 deaths in the ward
caused by some neglect of the lpeonIe

MOST OF the land consits of white and

ward Is Called the first district and one
person has the contract for removing
the garbage. Many complaints have
Deen made against the contractor, but
when MS attention has been called to a

with little attention paid to drainage
OF some cellars and overhowed cesspools,
ana the Old nuisance gotten rid of near
Fourth and French streets, and a few

to further the idea of it being genuine
roll butter.

on an average one hundred and fifty
pounds sold in the market every week.

THE NEW RAILWAY.

The work of grading for the new
railway on Fourth street, below the
p, w. & B. r. R., commenced yester-
day afternoon, and will no doubt be
finished by noon to-day.
The PAYERS are at work paving be-
tween the tracks and three feet each
side, and have nearly reached Lombard
street. The work would progress
much faster if 1t was not for the trou-
BILE in getting paving stones, which
seem to be very scarce.

THE VALLEY FORGE MURDER
A wILMINeToNIAN ARRESTED ON sUs-

WILMINeToNIANA ARRESTED ON sUs-
PIcIoN-No REAL CLUE YET.
The Valley Forge murder is still en-
gaging the attention of the Philadel-
phia police, but they have not been
able to btain any definite clue Of the
murderer. Several arrests have been
m ade, among them, evidently, being
one of Wilmington's well known
characters, Andy Crookenback. Andy,
however, will not be held, as after the
Arst suspicion no one believed he had
anything to do with the murder, in
which opinion all who know him in
this city will coincide. His arrest is
thus reported in The Philadelphia
Times:
Another arrest was made yesterday.
Andrew Crookenback, a German
tramp, who was drunk, rough looking
and wore very bad hat, was arrested
by Reserve Lentwein, at Fourth and
Chestnut streets, on suspicion that he
might have known something about
the Valley Forge affair. Several times
he said: "They can't hang me even If
did do it," He was -loc ked up at
the Central Station. Nothing was
found upon him except dull knife, a
red spotted handkerchief and a ticket
for pair of trousers pawned at Har-
vey's loan Office. Crookenback ex-
planned ,as we'll as his intoxicated cond-
ition would allow, that he had been
working inlthe ere beds up in Lehigh
county, and had just come to town, in
tending to 90 to Wilmington. The
police ofic ais questioned him and said
they we've satisfied that he knew moth
ing aud would be released as soon as
he sobered up. His clothing bore no
resemblance to that stolen by the fee
ing murderer at Malvern on Friday
night.

discover that the Northern Pacific

resenting $50, 0,0O0,0 900 worth of tho
stock of that Company. The lucky

Treasurer and their stock in their

than the street, il they were more
gratihed. They risked their money
years ago, held their securities while
they sold at 19t cents on the dollar and
at last reached a rich harvest at the
most unexpected time.

Mrs. Christfnncr Snenks.

[. P. Christiancy:
SIR send to you, in trust for v ur
son George, a lOcket which he asked
me to keep for him with my ieWelry.
l should have returned it long ago had
known just where to send it; but as it
contained the picture of Georges
mother, / could take no risk of its
safe transmission. l send it with my
love to George, for no matter how YOU
have taught him to feel towards me.
l shall always love him. He is the
one bright and pure memory of my
married life. When [ recall your
household, the place and associations
you took me to in the mOckcry of a
home, l grow sick and faint, see
hOrrid, blOated faces around me, and
hear the fearful sounds of drunken
brawls-yoU, my husband, often fore
| most in these trays among father and
| sons. One young, fair child's face
stands alone, ana know now that the
| love L gave George, and his gentle
cOmpaniOnship kept me from mad
ness, amidst so much misery and cor
| ruptiOn.
l wish to say to YOU that you can
/ spare yourself any fears of your poor
! pitiful, degraded life being taken
| through me or mine. With yOuI
cOWardly nature, which is the strong
est thing about you, except your SEN
suality, you feared my brother. You
did manage, doubtless with the aid
of others, TO elevate yourself for the
word S inspection on moral stills you
mounted them after infinite labor
when you claimed that you would, III
every way, ignore my brothers let
ters. But alas for the effort made to
reach so unaccustOmed a hight! the
stills were not fully adjusted before
you had fallen to your usual level
/ and so sent constable after constable
here to arrest my brother. | feel con-
WINGED that he never meant to stOOp
so low as to kill you. He might have
intended to cane you, but, in my esti-
nation, you are too craven a creature
for that much notice from a gentle
man. Your weapon is the stiletto
towards woman in the darkness of
the night. The brightness of Gods
sunlight is unsuited to your deeds. !
am decidedly ashamed of my brother
having noticed you. Do YOU suppose
that he would stain his young, white
hands and his whittier soul with a
crime for you? My wrongs have
! been greater than those of mortal
woman, and my only feeling for you
is unmiigated contempt. When one
touches pitch he must be defiled, and
rivers of blood would not wash the
stain from me which was stamped in
to my very soul when I gave my
innocent girl life into your Keeping.
The greatest suffering L have to en-
dure is the knowledge Of the degra-
ten that yeu have been my husband.

Captured.

a special dispatch to the New Or
leans Times from Jackson, Mississippi,
under date of the 29th ultimo, an
nOunces the capture by Sheriff Daniels,
of Columbia county, Arkansas, of
Joe A. Thomas and the safe delivery
of the prisoner to the author ties at
Jackson. On the 10th of August last
Thomas fOully assassinated Mr.. Char
les n. Murphy, Mayor of Rolling
Fork, Mississippi, and editor of the
Deer Greek AdCdHce. The origin of
trouble between Murphy and his muir
derer was as follows: Some three
months before the murder Thomas,
who had committed some Offense, was
arraigned for trial before Mayor Muir
ply, and, being an old offender and a
desperate character, he was ordered
to jail, but escaped from the court
room, and, getting outside of the cor
porate limits, detied the authorities OF
the city to arrest him. This state of
affairs caused the immediate resigna-
ton of the Board of Aldermen, and
the Mayor soon followed suit. Soon
after the Mayor was assaulted by
Thomas and badly abused, but made
no resistance, as he was unarmed at
the time. Then followed a publica-
ton in the AdUGRce announcing

Jones. of Nevada.

The Ecening Posts Utica special
says: Senator Jones, of Nevada,
who has been closeted with COnkling
since Wednesday night, at the resi-
dnce of the latter, in this city, left
this morning for New York. He was
accompanied to the station by COHk-
lings who boarded the train and re-
manned on the car until it was ready
to start. A large delegation of leading
Stalwarts of Utica escorted the Sena-
tor from his carriage to the train.
Some local StalwaTts, including COnk-
ling's private secretary, left OH the
same train with Jones. It was said
on Trustworthy authority that the con-
ference has been carried on with cure
a stenographer being present most of
the time to make full and complete re-
port. 1t is now generally believed
the result of the conference will have
an early bearing on affairs at Washing
ton. Those who have been permitted
to bear the most from the inner walls
Of COnklng's residence the last tWC
DAYS, express themselves with great
confidence respecting the eX-Senator's
immediate future. It is said that the
fight Of the COnkling men forsuprem-
acy in the State Convention will not
be continued with more than Of stern
persistence, and it is also intimated
to-day by those near to the ex-senator
that he does not care to have seat IN
the convention.

Rev. c. NJ. Gordon Burned to Death.

Okolona (Miss.) Messenger: The
death of Rev. G. NJ. Gordon, which
occurred in this city on last Saturday
morning, adds another to the list of
terrible tragedies which have occurred
in our midst, and is another sad re-
minder of the dangers attending the
use of kerosene oil. Mr.. Gordon had
preached at his church on Thursday
night, after which he returned home,
undressed and attempted to put out
the light before retiring to bed. when
the lamp exploded and threw the in
flammable fluid over his night clothes
which, igniting Immediately, burned
him so badly that he died in about
thirty hours after the accident occur
red. The suflerings of the mfortu-
nate man were fearful to behold. but
he bore il with calmness and forti-
tude becoming a Christian minister
As we offer to his heartbroken wife
and lovely little children our sympa-
thy, we bear outside testimony to his
Christian bearing, his manly charac-
ter and his exalted worth as a citizen.
