INDIAN ATROCITIES.
Men Killed, Women Outraged and Put
to Death by Cruel Torturea.

TUCSON, A. T., August 18.-Advices from
Guaymos, Sonora, of the 10th inst, say that
word has just been received from Trinidad
Sonora, that the Apaches are depredating
fearfully and committing frightful atrocities
in the Sahuarapa district. A large force of
Mexicans is in close pursuit of the redskins.
At Taratuc ranch the Apaches killed six
men. Passing La Mesa Palona they killed
two In Lucuchilla and two in Arincahonda,
and for three hours afterward attacked Ell
Carriel, carrying off IL women and child,
stripping the women and brutally outraging
them and then putting them them to death
by the most cruel torture. Four of the men
OF the ranch who were returning saw the
houses on fire and fed.
The Apaches gave chase. Three of the
men took refuge among the rocks and were
defending themselves, when the fourth man,
who escaped, brought the news to Trinidad.
A large force of citizens started at once to
the rescue and couriers were sent in all
directions to warn the settlers of the where
abouts of the hostiles. No mail riders have
arrived for several days. 1t is believed that
all have fallen victims to the Apaches. The
number of hostiles is 300, commanded by
Juh, the Chihuahua chief, who escaped
after the battle with Gen. Fuero last spring.
Authenticated reports state that band of
Apaches have penetrated Alamer and are
depredating there. Gen. Reys, with a large
force in the Sahuarapa district, declares he
Will not spare man, squaw or papoose If
he encounters them.

The Way 1t Can BE Done.


There is one way that success can be
accomplished and only one, and that is,
that in their deliberation the delegates
should cast aside all personal preferences
that they should select those who are known
to he acceptable; that they should avoid the
nomination of those who will cause dis
satisfaction and dissension, and that they
should harmoniously choose those who are
known to be acceptable to the voters OF
Delaware. If the proper spirit peryades the
deliberations of the convention, and if the
delegates come together and in their selec-
tions are governed by one purpose and that
for success, and in their selection should
select the man simply for his winning quail
ties and not on account of any personal al
vantage which they hope to gain in the
nomination the way for victory is easy
otherwise the hope of success is exceedingly
slim.

The area of high barometer is now CEN
tral over the upper lakes and Province of
Ontario, but a narrow tongue, within
which the pressure is above the mean, ex-
tends northward over the central valleys to
the Gulf coast The depression that was
organizing on the eastern slope of the
Rocky Mountains on Thursday has since
moved northeastward, and now dominates
the weather in the Upper Missouri and
Mississippi valleys. Local rains are re-
ported from the Northwest. Elsewhere fair
weather prevailed. The temperature de-
creased little in the lake regions, Middle
Atlantic and New England States, rose in
the Upper Mississippi Valley and remained
nearly stationary elsewhere Brisk to fresh
winds blew in the Northwest. In the other
section of the country they were from fresh
to light. Indications point to steady rise
in temperature until Tuesday. The weather
in New York and its vicinity to-day will be
cool aud fair in the morning, followed by
rising temperature. Tomorrow promises
to be warm and clear.

THE NEW TRUCK.
Its Arrival Last Night-Public Test This
Evening.

After numerous delays the long
truck and ladders of the Delaware Hook
and Ladder Company arrived last night and
was safely housed shortly after IL O'Clock,
where 1t was inspected by a number of per-
sons, most of whom were firemen. The
apparatus is a Hayes fire truck, and the
thirteenth of the kind built, two of which
are owned by the Philadelphia Fire Depart
ment. The equipments of the truck are nine
ladders, IL, IL, Is, 20, 25, %, 30, 40 and 80
feet In length respectively large hook for
tearing down buildings; four Holloway fire
extinguishers, one fastened on each of four
platforms, two on a side, upon which fire
men stand when going to fire; four
axes; four pipe poles, two forks
for moving hay and other matter,
two erowbars, two lanterns with half red
and half white globes, two side lanterns,
four leather water buckets, and large
locomotive bell. All the iron work is nickle-
plated. In front, under the drivers seat is
d silver plate of the La France Manufac-
turing Company, and on the left side of the
truck is a similar plate upon which is en-
graved the names of the purchasing COM
mittee of the company-James f. Daley,
George IL. Taylor, A. 7. Peterson, F. b.
Lewis and John Cassidy.
The weight of the truck loaded is 5000
pounds, and the cost was $1,000, or about
| so cents pound. The 25 and 30 feet lad
ders can be SO spliced as to make ladder 80
feet in length, and the 90 and 30 feet ones
made AZ feet long. The brake is on the
front wheel and under control of the driver.
The new truck will be tested this after
noon, and practical illustration given of
what 1t can do, in front of the Clayton
House on Market street. All arrangements
have not been completed, but it is expected
that at 9 o'clock an alarm will be sounded,
| to which the Delaware truck and the Friend
ship hose carriage will respond. On arriv-
ing at the Clayton House the ladder will be
run up and an empty line of hose carried to
the top.
The ladder will be shifted, while out at
80 feet, from one side of the street to the
other, and all the fine points exhibited. 1t
is expected that number of members OF
Truck B of Philadelphia, who have operated
a Hayes ladder for a long time, will be
present and take the test in hand, driving In
response to the claim, taking charge of the
wheel, and running out the ladder.
When the signal is given the truck will be
driven down French street to Fourth, thence
to Market an to the Clayton House at full
speed.
D. D. Hayes, the patentee, will be present
to explain the working.

A Tomato Blight.

[ INIIutIItIUWH IIHIIotIIptsJ
Fl. C. Ellison of Middle Neck, has just
lost by peculiar and seemingly new
disease, nearly his whole tomato crop OF
1000 plants. His plants were growing
nicely and were filled with fruit, when about
the beginning of the recent rains, the
leaves began to wither and die. Upon ex-
animation, Mr.. Ellison found that the heart
of the plants had turned black. Within
few days after this discovery nearly all
the plants in the field were dead. Not more
than 500 of the 1000 are alive. Mr.. Ellison
took great pains with his plants, and his
loss, as well as that of Biggs, Clayton d
Co., for whom he was growing the tomatoes,
is by no means light. A few days before
the blight affected the leaves of the plants
this field of tomatoes was thought to be one
of the most promising that our firm OF
Gamers had on their list of contracts.

THE PEACH MARKET.
Plenty Of Fruit of Rather Poor Quality
Prices Moderate.

good supply of peaches is in market to-
day, and the quantity received Is being re-
duced very rapidly The quality of the fruit
Is very much below what IL should be at
this time of the season. Prices have fallen
slightly and the choice fruit is only bringing
rs cents a basket. Some few baskets were
held at 81, but the dealer was very well
pleased when he received so cents. Craw-
fords are In market and are selling rapidly
at 10 cents. Troths are quoted at 30 to SO
cents, and are selling as fast as any variety
of fruit. The amount shipped to this mar
ket is sufficiently large to supply all de-
mands, and should the growers from below
send much fruit this afternoon, people may
look for a decided reduction from the prices
quoted above
Unfortunately the majority of the fruit In
market to-day is soft and bruised consider
ably, evidently from rough handling, and
this fruit can not be kept over until Monday.
80 that without the market stays as 1t Is the
dealers will be compelled TO make a second
reduction, and glut may come to night.
dealer on King street shipped large
consignment to CoatsYllle, Pa, for which he
realized 10 cents per basket.
Dealers wear smiling faces over the i'm
provement in the method of getting their
fruit from the freight office, they are now
able to get their consignments as early as
O'Clock in the morning. This is partly due
to the article that appeared in the GAZETTE
of several days since.
The Philadelphia Ledger to-day says;
Peaches are the ruling fruit now and
baskets upon baskets of them are piled up
on the pavements and in the warehouses of
dealers. Among them there is seldom a
first-class peach to be seen. The best the
trees afford are, 1t is said, whirled away to
New York and the East, where, notwith-
standing the difference of 40 cents per bas-
ket freight, it is said, they bring better
price than here. The best qualities are just
now beginning to come in. The arrivals
here yesterday were $1,000 baskets by rail,
and about 10000 baskets by water. The
prices for saleable peaches range from so
cents to Sl.50 per basket, the latter price
being received for few baskets of very fine
Reeves Favorites. The prices of all other
kinds of fruit and produce are low, the de-
mand for almost every kind being active.

Railroad were as follows

A Boom for Harrington.
milford Chronicle. ]


Mr.. Moore is the only available man that
the Salisbury wing of the Democratic party
can put up from Sussex county, and should
they fail to induce him to change his mind,
it will certainly be their policy to nominate
G. j. Harrington of Kent Mr.. Harrington
is, comparatively speaking, young man,
and has served in our State Legislature as
Senator for this district. He is a straight
out Democrat and man who is capable of
filling the office with credit to himself and
his party. Further, he is undoubtedly
popular throughout the State, and will poll
the whole vote of his party, while it is a
we'll known fact that should any man out
side of Charles Stockley or j. Turpin Moore
be placed at the head of the ticket, a fac
tion, sufficient to wreck the party, would
stand idle at the polls. Should the Sauls-
burys fail to secure their man for Governor,
their main efforts would then be turned
towards nominating men for the Legislature
favorable to Senator Saulsbury's return to
the United States Senate. To-morrow's
primaries will be very quiet, but when the
primaries are held to make out ticket
for the counties, there will be some bitter
fights.

good and the singing sweet, especially
" Only Pansy Blossom" by Frank How
ard, and I" Only Rose," by VIII Raymond.
Frank McNish in his grotesque dancing was
one of the best features ever seen on stage,
and deserved the applause awarded. Hughy
Dougherty was as happy and original as ever,
and got off many local hits. The dancing
gladiators and pedestal clog dancing by
Howe and Bell were marked features of the
evening. The show is one every way worthy
of patronage and deserves success.

ALEXANDRIA, August 19.-Information
from headquarters states that a prominent

ferred to is Hassan Pasha Cherci Minister

GENERAL woLsELEY's PLANS.
ALEXANDRIA, August 1S.-In accordance
with the plan agreed upon yesterday, 5000
troops comprising the First Division and the
Sixtieth Regiment from the Second Division,
the whole under the personal command of
Sir Garnet Wolsely, are ready to sail in the
morning under sealed orders. 1t is sup
posed that their destination is Aboukir Bay,
where an attack will probably be made. The
Gordon and Cameron Highlanders are 60
ing to Ramleh to form the nucleus OF a
Highland Brigade under General Alison.
1t is reported that Arab has warned all
the Europeans in Cairo that he could not
longer be responsible for their safety, as all
the soldiers and police now doing duty in
that city would be required for active ser
vice at the front. This is thought to por-
tend a speedy engagement with the British.
1t is stated that a flank movement on
Arabi's army is intended. AT this time of
the year an enemy acting on the defensive
possesses many advantages, owing to the
periodical overflow of the Nile and the ease
with which the country can be flooded.
Should Arabi make stand in his entrench-
ments at Kafr- el-Dwar, as is probable, an
attack in front would be very hazardous.
Arabi has very powerful and numerous
/ artillery he has thrown up formidable re
doubts and earthworxs and completely COM
mands the ground Immediately in his front.
However Indifferent his troops may be in the
field, they are not to be despised when
strongly posted behind ramparts and
trenches, and it is for this reason that Sir
Garnet Wolsely has determined to endesvor
to turn the position rather than carry it bya
front attack.

READING, August 18.-Miss Anna Eshle-

Eshleman, of Mount Joy township, Lam
caster county, received frightful injuries by
being lifted from the ground by an infun
ated bull, tossed up and again caught on the
horns of the animal and carried some dis
tance from the barnyard to the stable. The
young lady was looking at the stock when
the bull suddenly made plunge, knocked
her down and quickly caught her on his
horns, believing at the top of his voice.
The screams of the young lady and the noise
of the bull attracted the attention of Miss
Eshleman's brothers, who attacked the beast
with clubs and steel forks and finally sue
ceeded in rescuing her. She was SO badly
hurt that at first her life was despaired of.
There are slight hopes for her recovery.
