Nearly Eaten by Buzzards. -..

West CHESTER, July 26.--Abiah Sellers,
an aged and demented man residing in
Pocopson Township, few miles from the
borough, made very narrow escape from
most horrible death. Mr.. Sellers has
on several occasions during the past
year and half absented himself from
his home, and has been found as
often in quarries, dense woods, etc.
A few weeks ago he went away, and though
the surrounding woods and other places
that he had previously frequented were
searched, he was not found. Last week
two harvest men engaged In field about
half mile from Mr.. Sellers home was at
tracted by the unusually large number of
turkey buzzards flying around an old quarry
on the edge of tract of woodland. They
went to see what caused the unusual gather
ing. ..r
Upon reaching the quarry they were horri-
fed at finding what they first supposed to
be corpse, which, upon closer inspection
proved to be the almost lifeless body of Mr..
Sellers. The men Immediately raised the
living skeleton and took him from the quarry
which came so near being his tomb, and
carried him home. Mr. Sellers did not ap-
pear TO realize what narrow escape he had
made, and said that he was only taking a
little nap when they woke him up.

THE POOR TIsusTEEs.
A Lengthy Meeting Yesterday and Con-
aidernble ISnaineas Done.

The quarterly meeting of the Trustees of
the Poor at the Almshouse yesterday was Il
very extended one, final adjournment not
being had until after 4 O'Clock. Much of
the time was consumed in the examination
and arranging of bills, orders for which were
afterward granted.
At the afternoon session all the members
were present except G.. Hill Brinton When
the small pox hospital question was disposed
of bills amounting to 1854 ,05, on account OF
work at the new Almshouse were presented
and referred 10 the Committee on Accounts
for examination. The total amount Of bills
reported fayorably and ordered paid was
$40, 0,250.S0. Mr.. Jemison, chairman of the
Building Committee, stated that the monthly
payment due Hyde a. johnson, contractors
for the work at Hare's Corner, would have
to be made before the next meeting of the
Board, and that, from calculations he had
made of the work already done and likely
to be finished by August 1, about $4,000
would be needed. He was therefore author
lied to draw upon the treasurer for sum
not exceeding that amount.
Nathaniel Williams, appointed by WI
liam Polk, of the Levy Court, to ill the
vacancy occasioned by the resignation of
Columbus Watkins, until the next meeting
of the court, took an active interest in the
proceedings and made himself conversant
with what had been done and was yet to be
accomplished.

the ways were almost cleaned of the grease
that helped her-oR uF iat
For awhile the mass of people stood trans
fixed, their eyes anxiously awaiting the next
thing en- the program, many evidently
being surprised that II was all over SO
quickly. Then the scramble from the top
Of the monit0r began, and down the rickety
and dangerous plank-way the delighted
party pushed. Those in the yards and on Its
wharves quickly left for home, and those on
the opposite shore began the hot trudge
toward Market street, feeling fully repaid
for the burning and baking they had re-
ceived.
Work in all the shops of the company was
almost entirely suspended and no matter
where one looked groups of mechanics and
laborers were seen all eager for the treat.
While removing the props from the bow one
ofthe laborers had his legs badry bruised
by the falling Of piece Of timLer, and when
the vessel was midway off one of the large
upright pieces Of timber near the waters
edge was torn loose by the hawser fastened
to the bow and carried cross the creek.
Much anxiety was felt by some lest
repetition Of the Pilgrim might result, but
when the record of the Harlan IL Hollings-
worth Co., as ship-builders and their boast
that they "ncver had a boat TO stick on the
ways" was remembered, fears weredispcllcd.

A HOT WAVE.
A High Temperature Yesterday and the
Same Expected To-day.


Yesterday was the hottest day Of the
season, and the mercury thought It wasn't
doing its duty II 1t got below 30 or 05, but
at midnight II managed to geo as low as So.
All through the city the effects of the heat
were plainly visible on the faces OF those
obliged to take exercise or TO attend TO Inn
portant business. II was hot, and starched
linen wilted meekly. The sidewalks and
houses became heated, and when night
came fully three-fourths of the bed rooms
were almost sitting, and sleep was for the
most part discomfort rather than a
pleasure. There was, however, toward
morning slight ripple of breeze, every
breath of which was US precious as a nugget
of gold. At o'clock this morning the air
felt close and oppressive, and but for the
little breeze mentioned would have been un-
endurable. And it is reasonable to expect
that to-day will be an exact counterpart of
yesterday. ....-.---
But one case of being overcome with the
heat is reported that Of John Dooley, who
fell upon the floor of a cigar store at Fifth
and Walnut streets, soon after he had en-
tered the place yesterday morning. He re-
manned unconscious for some time, but by
evening was reported much better
All the available and cool spots along
the river were utilized AS lodging places
during the night, and snoring, dreaming,
restless humanity-black and white, male
and female, young and old--decorated lum-
ber piles and soft spots ON the wharves.
The only living things that apparently did
moi feel the heat yesterday were the street
car mules, which driver on the Front
street line earnestly declared never sweat,
no matter how warm II became. And his
statement bore the sembance Of truth upon
his face, as not hair was rufiled nor was a
moist gpOt visible uDon the hacks Of the
two brevet horses that left Union street when
the sun was the hottest
The suffering among children is great, and
It is feared few days more of the hot wave
will make a startling death list among the

FIGHTING STRIKERS.
A Number of italian LabOrers Assaulted
And Driven Away From Work.

And Driven Away From Work.
NEW YORK, July 26.-This morning a
large number of the men were posted in
front of the tenement houses on the east
side of the city, where the Italians who have
been given work at st. Johns Park live, and
by persuasion of threats prevented most Of
them from going to work. -......-
About twelve or fifteen of the Italians,
however, under the leadership of one of the
men acting as foreman, started for st.
Johns Park Just before o'clock. They
were not molested until they reached the
corner of Broadway and Canal street, when
they were attacked by about dozen men,
said to be freight handlers. These men
were all clad in checked Jumpers" except
one man, who seemed to be directing the
attack.
The attacking party used stones, brick
bats and clubs, and the Italians at first re
treated. Then they retaliated with the same
kind of weapons, and the combat continued
for five or ten minutes, the Italians stand
ing on the south side of the street in front of
| the Brandreth House, and the strikers on
the north side of the street.
Finally two pistol shots were fired and
the Italians rctreated to the other side of
Broadway 1t was impossible to learn by
whom the pistol shots were fired, but
| one of the strikers received wound in the
breast, which was dressed at neighboring
drug store and the man went home. His
name was not learned. After the Italians
had been driven across Broadway they
rallied and drove their opponents
down Broadway to Lispenard street
and for a block or two down that street,
where the crowd was dispersed by the
police and the Italians were escorted to
| St. Johns Park. One of them, it was then
discovered, had severe wound IN the face,
laying open the cheek from the nose to the
ear. The wound was evidently made with a
cotton hook. The man was sent to the
Chambers Street Hospital. No arrests were
made by the police.

TO-DAY's CONVENTION.
PROSPECTS OF LIVELY TIMES
AHEAD.
FoOKg FRIENDS READY TO FIGHT
New Castle Men WIIling to Sacrifice Every
thing For Hastings-Sussex Delegates
blaming Higgins.
Especial dispatch 70 the Gazette. !

Down, July 27.-fhe clans are gathering
and active preparations are under way for the
assembling of the Republican State Conven-
tion this afternoon. To late hour last
night there were caucuses and conferences,
but 1t is impossible to accurately predict
what the result win be.
Present indications point to the nomina-
ton of Curry for Governor and Wash
Hastings for Congress, but there Is a strong
proahility OF. y row be1azF kicked up by the
Sussex friends of Mr.. Fooks, who have not
taken any part in the preliminary confer
ences, and do not relish the unceremonions
manner In which their candidate was set
aside at the meeting Of few leaders held in
Merritt's Hotel, Wilmington, on Tuesday
last. 1t is altogether probable that if Mr..
Fooks says the word they will stick to him
to the last and fight hard for him in the
Convention.
Last night Anthony Higgins, Levi C..
Bird, l. N. Mills, Beniah Watson, Harry
Cannon, Dick Harrington and Austin Har-
rington held conference, at which it was
agreed that the Curry Hastings bargain
delegates do not kick too hard. In the
event of the latter contingency 1t is impos-
sible for one to tell the result, but it is
likely the ''county rights" delegates from
New Castle county are willing to sell out
Fooks, even If he has a majority of the
Sussex delegation, in order to secure the
nomination of Wash Hastings for Con
gress.
ID. p. Barnard, of Kent, will be chairman
of the convention, and the State Central
Committee will be appointed in the same old
way, which will insure Stalwart majority
in its formation. Levi C. Bird, who will &c
into the convention as a substitute delegate,
Che could not get elected from his ward, }
will be chairman of the Committee on Reso-
lutions.
Amid all the preliminary proceedings
there is q lurking fear OF trouble from
Sussex.
FooKs' FRIENDS FOR FIGHT.
Especial dispatch to the Gazette
DOVER, July 27.-l0.30 a. NAT thii
hour the outlook for harmonyis not at all en-
couraging, and 1t looks as If an open rupture
was imminent. The Sussex delegation ar.
rived at 1910 o'clock, and are now in con-
ference with Higgins, Mills and others.
The positive assertion is a.aade by some o
the Sussex delegates that Fooks is candi
date for Governor, and will allow his nam,
to go before the Convention. 1t is ais
maintained that in the Sussex delegation
there will be at least 26 votes in his favor
leaving 10 for Curry. His closest friend
declare that he will never withdraw, ant
that they will break the bargain made t.
nominate Curry and Hastings, if it is pos
sible TO do so.
Mr.. Higgins is blamed by the Sussex mel
for stabbing Fooks In the back, and they ar,
ready to return the compliment If they ge
an opportunity.

The relative positions of the high and low
areas remained unchanged. There are in
dications, however, that the depression will
move steadily eastward over the lakes and
British possessions to-day, and will reach
the st. Lawrence Valley districts by to-
morrow morning. Showers are reported
from the Southern States and the Missouri
Valley. Elsewhere fair weather prevailed.
The temperature fell in the Northwest and
remained nearly stationary in the other sec
tions of the country. Fresh to light winds
blew east of the Mississippi River. Con-
ditions favorable to the development of dan,
gerous tornadoes prevail in Missouri, Kan.
sas, Iowa and Southern Minnesota. The
weather in New York and its vicinity to-day
will he warm and hazy, with possibly a
thunder shower or two. Tomorrow prom
ises to be slightly cooler and fair.
