cHiEF HAuKINs AGAIN.
IHe Releases Two Negroes Awaiting
II Hearing for Assault and Hat

terry.
From Hvoiy Evening Of Friday.
On Monday afternoon Officers. 0sborne
aud Marcus, on warrant issued by
Esquire o'Neil, arrested Charles Lamb
orn and Wesley Massey, two Degro
charged with assault aud battery on
Alfred Collins The men, after being
captured, were cOniiued in the police
station TO await hearing, which was
arranged for the same evening. Upon
Chief llaWkins hearing OF the mems i'm
prisonment and their promise to
appear before the Squire, they
were released. They went to the
'Squirs's office, but as the witnesses
had not bseu SUBJ Wuaed ,ths hearing was
postponed until "wednesday night. The
assailants being free left the 'Squire's
office and upon learning that there was
damaging evidence against them, either
left the city or have since been in hiding
On Wednesday evening when the trial
was called the Chief of Police, expressed
considerable surprise at the absence Of
the two men, alleging they had promised
him to attend when wanted.
Chief Hawkins at once realized the up-
enviable position he WAS placed in, and
asked two days time TO recspture the
rioters. Another colored man, Charles
Water rbnry, recognized as one of Mr..
Collins assailauts, was given a hearing
IN Wednesday evening before Judge
Cummius, and beld tU answer at c1urL
The testimony is said by the witness TO
have been considerable more eliminating
against the two who are now at large,
bya dispensatiou of the Chiei's favor.
Chief hawkins disolaimed any knowl
edge az to whether the men had been re'
arrested when asked by an EVERY EsE
ING representative this morning. With
his native impudence he also informed
the newspaper man it was none of his
business, ii ii was he had better
dud out. Upon bsing questioned
further he said he had nothing
to say iD the matter, but il the
cass was written mp and printed he
would make it shot" for the reporter,
adding in self appreciating way THAT
dog would turn if you trod on his tail"
He denied in his customary grun way
that the prisoners had besn locked up.
Officer Osborne emphatioally states
When confronted with this oil 3 state
ment the Chief turned the drift of oouver-
sation and studiously avoided talking
further of this phase OF the affair.
Chief Hawkins undoubtedly is aware that
he has exceeded his administrative
powers to such an extent that he is
placed in a very uncomfortable position,
and his alleged faith in two rintons
neg-cen' word, to come and bs tried when
wanted, has received a great shock.

Baltimore u Ohio railroad Official as
cures the Baltimore !Sua that th2t city
will not lose anything hy ite Philadelphia
extension; that the h. q .. has not
expended millions for terminal facilities
there to have them made useless. The
company will always stand mp for the
dtirerential advantages TO which Balti-
more has just claim. With its line at
New York it may not have huge club,
but it will possess at least stout hickory
stick with which to fight the differential
battle. The Pennsylvania road will be
its natural ally for maintaining
these difierentials. The developments OF
railroads in the West, and especially tine
Southwest, is 80 rapid as to make a rail
road mans head ache to keep the run of
them. The Baltimore & Ohio ia doing its
share in meeting these competitors. 1t
controls lines to St. Louis and Louisville
now, and 1t is feasible to go into the
South. But IN defending from its friends
it is not proposed TO have it's plans dis
closed for the sharp sighted capitalists oi
the North to take advantage of. Once in
New York the company will do as all
other railroads--seek for business both
ways, and Baltimore will gain instead OF
being loser.

IN LOWER NEW CASTLE COUNTY.
Special Correspondence OF state Journal.
MIDpLETowN, June 28.-Just as the
farmers were well into wheat harvest on
Tuesday rain came down in torrents,
causing the abandonment of every wheat
field in this region. Rain has continued
to fall here since about 10 o'clock on
Tuesday, though 1t Ia said it will do but
little damage to the crop about being
harvested. Now the only serious damage,
says Charles Derriokson, will be caused
by the sun coming out very hot, which
will ripen the wheat much faster and
dry it so much as to cause it to shatter
out whilst being handled. The absence
of wind with the rain has been great
blessing to farmers. Wheat is not re-
ported to be down much, and it is
thought as soon as the water is dried
from the heads 1t will rise. By o'clock
this afternoon the farmers will be again
at work.
The rain of yesterday has been benefi-
cial to the corn crop but very destructive
to raspberries, especially the half-ripe
fruit. A berry grower came into town
during the storm yesterday and got 80
piokers and put them to work in his
patch. He shipped his berries at once to
Philadelphia. No damage was done the
oat crop, neither was the rye effected.
