On Monday evening as David Clements,
who works at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, was
bringing around the hack and team to 60 to
the train the colts took fright and made o
lively run down Main street, past the old
stage barn, and turned round through the
alley toward Jackson street. When making
the turn the nigh hind wheel struck against
heavy piece of timber with such force that
it broke the doubletree and one Of the single
trees, and overturned the hack breaking il
very badly. The team at this point got loose
and made lively run up Jackson street
and were stopped in the vicinity of Thorn
tons livery stable. Mr.. Clemants, who up
to this time had escaped with slight injury,
followed the team and took the lines and at
tempted to drive the colts back to their
stable when they again started to run and
drew him down upon the gravel and again
got away. Dave in the meantime received
| some painful bruises and is now carrying a
cane on account of sprained foot. His in
juries are not serious and it is to be hoped
he will be well in few days.

AN AMUSING INCIDENT. Last week
just after our paper had been circulated
in the city our attention was called to
leading republican with a crowd
around him in front Of one of the
saloons, talking-very loud and jesticu
lating vehementlY. In passing that
way We stopped to see the cause of his
excitement, when he turned upon us
with the remark, democratic lies "
Not knowing the purport Of his re-
marks, we asked tor further informa-
ton. He referred us to our article en-
titled "Tariff and Wool" in which we
referred to the base manner in which
NJ. c. George had went back upon the
promise he made during tie recent can
vass, to maintain tariff on wool that
would keep out of competition the
cheap woods of Australia and South
America We assured him that we had
heard Mr.. George make the promise in
the speech he delivered in the cour5
house at this place during his canvass
He replied, "vel, but dot vas the first
time he run'd; he vas not here at all
the last time, he vas in Washington in
Congress Seeing the errrr into which
his enthusiasm for the great blunder
had led him, we remarked, you will
admit he made the promise and then
went back on it. He replied: "Velb
yes, but den he vas elected two years
after on an nudder platform and that
makes difference" We passed on-feel-
ing completely vanquished.

AFFAIRS AROUND TOWN
A woULD-eE SUICIDES FLAT
FAILURE.
LATE NOTES OF THE BALL FIELD.
A Miserable Man, Tired Of Life, Tries to
End His Existenee With LsudAnum-
How He Failed.

Several days ago q middle aged man
suffering from the effects of recent epree
and looking wild and haggard, made his ap-
pearance at drug store In the western part
of the city, and asked for two ounces of
laudanum. The druggist mistrusting the
mans intentions engaged him in converse
tion aud soon discovered that the man was
burning with a desire to commit suicide
with desire equal 10 three horse power
Tuerk motor.
The mixer of medicines having weighed
the matter well in his mind decided that to
refuse the customer wOald cause a row, SO
to avoid scene he very deliberately mixed
up dose of calomel and diluted alcohol
and gave 1t to the man with suicidal desires.
Having, as he thought, gotten the deadly
poison, the man sought aquiet and secluded
spot and took about an ounce and half of
the drug and then went home
to the bosom Of his family,
to whom he told what he had done in a
manner that showed that he was perfectly
resigned to his fate.
As he had attempted TO commit suicide
once before the wife summoned two physi-
cIans who came prepared to bring the man
to life without fail. AS soon as the patient
saw the doctors he told them that he had
taken laudanam, but that he did not as vet
feel drowsy and rather hinted that he
had been fooled by the druggist. A
close examination of the victim of the
alleged deadly drug convinced the doc
tors that the man had been played
with and to make assurance doubly sure
asked the druggist with reference to the
drug. He stated the case and also gave his
reasons for not giving the man the genuine
stuff, which were deemed entirely satlsfac-
tory by the doctors, and returned to
the bedside OF the patient and COM
municated the facts 10 his wife who
was overjoyed at the news, which, ofcourse,
was not told to the attempted suicide, who is
anxiously awaiting the deadly effects of the
medicine to have the desired end. But
from the fact that burnt sugar has never
been known to kill, he is likely to wait
good long time; but in the mean
time he will probably have time to cuss the
druggist who gave him the slow dealing
drug.
The fact gradually dawned upon him to-
day that he was badly fooled man and a
pretty lively suicide and he now sits around
having lost the desire to explore the un-
known borne and swears a streak of pro-
family considerably stronger than the medi-
cine, and has consequently lost all desire to
die until he has finished his streak OF very
strong language.

CAPE MAY IN THE LEAD.
A Select Excursion on June 30th-SI.75
for the Round Trip.


The close observers of last seasons attrac-
tions at summer resorts, noted the decided
prominence which Cape May took in the
competition for patronage, and as well the
great success which followed. Stimulated
with the result of its efforts, the famous old
watering place comes TO the fore with q list
of entertainments that will continue with
out interruption from June 80 until far
into September, and of q character and va
riety that will satisfy the sojournor for the
season as well as the transient visitor. Fre-
quenters of the Cape are familiar with the
great lawn Of the Stockton Hotel, with its
unobstructed view ofthe shore drive and the
surf beyond. An immense pavilion, capable
of accommodating an orchestra of 100
musicians with portable extension
for seating 500 choristers, is now being
erected, and an addition to the porches is
being made by flooring in 5000 feet of the
lawn adjoining, thus making grand dane
ing pavilion and auditorium, unequaled on
the coast.
operate, oratorio, and promenade con-
certs, and balls are to be given on a scale of
completeness and grandeur never before at
tempted at the seaside.
On Saturday, June 30th, the festivities
commence with visit of the famous State
Fencibles, of Philadelphia, accompanied by
full band and drum corps. Dress parade of
the Fencibles Saturday evening.
There will be grand concert in the new
pavilion during the afternoon, and at night
a hop complimentary to the FeDcibles, with
a lawn concert alternating.

talon drill with exhibitions of loading and
firing, closing with dress parade, sacred
concert In the afternoon, and in the evening
a sacred concert by the combined orchestra
and military band.
Other attractions have been arr anged for
every afternoon and evening during the
week following, commencing on Monday
afternoon with concert by large military
band. Although not entirely perfected, the
arrangements will likely include a great
and novel display of fireworks on the 4th,
with concerts and other features.
A select excursion will leave Wilmington
via special train on Saturday, June 30th, at
about noon, and arrive at Broad street sta
tion at l p. M, and Cape May at about 4.30
p. m. The tickets have been placed at the
low rate of S1.75 for the entire
round trip, and the return portions made
good on any regular trains running until
July 5th, enabling the visitors to enjoy the
musical and military attractions referred to
above.

tents. Suspicion fell upon Morrison. and
this morning he was detected in the act, and
upon being arrested made full confession
of his guilt. He was committed to await
an examination before the United States

tions is not yet known.
