Carrying Pistols.

1t is not d .fiicult to understand the prev
alence of this practice of pistol carrying by
young America, when one learns that seven
shooters, which every days experience has
shown are capable of irhicting very serious
wounds, are sold for a dollar and quarter
apiece. Nor does it seem so extraordinary
that people should ALLOW their children to
play with such dangerous weapons, when
one remembers that religious newspapers
have so far for often the old traditions that
they are otfering revoiver5 as premiums
But it is certainly high time to cali to hat
when the matter has gone so tar that tue
infant hardly a5andons his rattle before lie
begins experimenting Oh venerable passerz
by with lis pistol. The fact is, this latest
Development is only an illustration Of a
mania TOR carrying deadly weapons, when
has already assumed alar ming PROPORTIONS.
Every newspaper reader has observed the
/. growing frequency ot shooting oy boys ani

Fatal ARRAY.

On last Wednesday night fight oc-
curred'at Marshallton, about seven miles
from this town, between Alexander Webb
and John Allen, both colored. Webb ex-
pected trouble from Hallow Fen boys,
and stationed himself in his garden to
await results with his loaded gun. Allen
came along with bucket of swill and
was ordered to stop and hand him the
bucket and contents, claiming that they
belonged to him. This caused dispute,
and Webb tried to shoot Allen, but tho
gun missed fire, and another attempt was
made with the same result. Allen acting
in self-defcnse picked up large stone
aud throw ii at his enemy with good eff
feet, striking Webb just back of tho ear,
knocking him down. Allen delivered
himself over to the custody of magis-
trate in Wilmington, who allowed him to
return home and await results. Coroner
Smith was notified and came to Marshall
ton in company with Drs. Ogle and
Springer, and held an inquest OH the
body of Webb. The jurys verdict was
that Alexander Webb came to his death
from stone in the hands of John Allen,
who acted in self-delense.
