HAH KINS REITRhS.
He ssKesigns" His Office of Chief of
POItce-Hfs PrObEbIe Successor.

James L Hawkins, who has been chief
of police since the election ri DR.. Wales
as mayor of the city, rendered his resig-
nation to that official Saturday mornine.
Since the elevation of Hawkins from
letter carrier to chief OF police, his official
conduct has been greatly oensured even
by his own political and partisan friends.
His fellow officers on the forcs were
almost constsntly at war with him. and
his administration as chief officer OF the
peace haa been the opposite in every re.
spect to satisfactory.
Abput six weeks ago Il will be remem-
hered that Hawkes. made tip 10 Phila-
delphia, got very drunk, and tried to
break into Chinese laundry. The China.
man, Hop Sing, demonstrated against
Hawkins assault, when the latter drew
revolver aud sent two balls at the
Celestisl's head. As result, the chief
YVES locked up in the Fifth district station
house al! nigh. and in the morning re-
leased on bail for hearing. The
hearing, however, was never had,
as the Chinsmap, the chiet pruse-
cutting witness, sbsented himself
from the city at the time set for the hear
ing. This suspicious circumstance
coupled with the fact that Hawkins was
under the protection of powerful poll
tician Of Philadelphia, gave the matter
unmistakable evidences of an effort to
wbitewash the affair.
The chief was suspended next day, and
had not sinoe been reinststed, but has
drawn full pay dnripg his six weeks Of
retirement. Mayor Wales made an in
yestigstiou of HAWKING conduct dnrino
the latter's suspension and in
the words of sn intimate friend found
it even worse than had been rept rted, 4"
Hawkins made no defense, except claim
ing that he wssnt disorderly on his
Philsdelphia.trip, aud that he had been
assaulted and shot at the Chinamsn iu
mistake for his sssailspt.
There was a unanimous call for Haw.
kins' deposition except from a few per-
sopal friends who petitioned for his REIN
statement. great pressure was
brought TO bear on Mayor Wales,
80 great in fact that he
dare not (if he would) disregard it. In
view of thess facts, it may be stated for q
certainty, Hawkins resignation was
asked for by his superior officer.
Sergeant Mcconnell has acted as chief
since Hawkins retirement and has dis
charged the duties OF the post with
considerable aptness, and he
has given general satisfaction to
those with whom he has been
brought in contact. Iussmuch as
his services have thus far bsen Efficient,
it is quite probable that he will be pro.
m0ted TO permanently fill the office.

Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal.
sEAFoRpi April l8-While & we'll
known gentleman of this town, nearly so
years old, was viewing the outside scenes
of 0'Bfien's circus, yesterday afternoon,
he was approached by clever looking
man who introduced himself as Doctor
Davis, and asked If there were any
farms tor sale il the neighborhood.
While they were talking another
stranger appeared and suggested
visit to side show tent in which
horse with q broken neck was exhibited.
Ali three went in and viewed the equine
wonder, after which the second stranger
called attention to some cards ON a table
and said each card drew prize.
The swindlers drew cards and appar-
emily received prizes of IS and $25, and
the old gentleman was persuaded to try
his luck, which resulted in prize of
81, 500 to his great delight. He was told
he would have to show an equal sum
before he could have his prize csshed,
and one OF the swindlers offered
to loan him $1,000 if he
would produce the other $500. He
rushed off the bank to get the money,
but the bank officers, noticing his excited
condition and remembering the presence
of the circus in the town, told him to re-
turn to the bank after O'Clock for the
money. Meanwhile the trick was ex-
planned to his salts action and the swim
dlers were foiled

Baltimore American Special
ELKToN, MD April l6 Judge Stump
delivered the opinion of the circuit eourt
for Cecil county to day, confirming the
iuquisition OF the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road Company, on the laud of James K
Cochrane & Co., ice dealers, of Baltimore,
situated on the east side Of the
Susquehanna river, near Perryville,
in this county. The objections
urged against the confirmation OF the
finding of the inquisition were: First,
that the jury had not allowed damages
for injury to the ice on the Susquehanns
river, which it is alleged would result
from oinders from the locomotives cross.
ing the bridge, the east END of which
rested upon the land in ques-
tion. Secondly, that the company had
no right under its present charter to
build its Philadelphia branch, and con-
sequenty had do authority to coudemn
land for that purpose. The case was
elaborately argued at the March term OF
court, by Robert C.Thackery and Clinton
Mccullough for Cochrane & Co., and John
S. Writ and Albert Constable for the rail-
road company.

the only thing lacking was the ram. How

Moses lifting up the serpent in the wilder

serpent, prepared for the occasion, coiled adj

point brought out here was that friendship in

A Paradise for sportsrnen.

The Chesapeake and Delaware Penin-
sula, comprising portions of this State,
Maryland and Virginia, contains square
area of 5000 miles, and measures about
200 miles by 40. Within this limited
surface, and distant only few hours ride
from Philadelpbis, Wilmington, Bslti-
more and Washington, are to be found the
finest sporting and fishing on the Atlantic
coast. So Abundantly has this favored
region been endowed by nature with
game of every description that it is
worthy to be called paradise for gunners
and anglers. Such, indeed, is the title
adopted for his book by writer whose
work now lies before us. His description
of the Peninsula, and the advantages IT
affords to sportsmen, are carefully and
accurately written, while the excellent
epgravings and maps with which his
book is adorned add greatly to it's appear
auce and value. This essential wade
mecum Of the sportsman may be obtained

Delaware shore railroad Suit.

The supreme court Of Pennsylvania
has reserved the decree of the court of
common pleas No. 2, in the equity pro-
ceedings instituted by Charles Lsnnig, J.
Livingston Erringer, James B. Ramsay
aud G.. w. Hall, bopdholders, to recover
from the Fidelity Trust Company a share
OF the proceeds OF the Delaware Shore
railroad under foreclosure. The lower
coart decided in favor of the plaintiffs,
but the supreme court holds that the re-
fussl of the complainants to contribute to
the expenses of the purchase and the
Improvement of the road was waiver of
their rights. Thomas L. Ogden, the
builder OF the road, bought it for s35, 900,
and borrowed the money from the Fidelity
company, which virtually became the
putehasteF. The property was atterward
sold to the duPonts.

COLLISION ON THE RIVER.
A Disastrous Accident off Grubb's
Landing.

The schooner Annie Russell of New
Castle, oollided with the steamer Mary
Morgan off Grubb's Landing, between the
mouth of Christisna creek and Marcus
Hook, yesterday week, while the latter
boat was on her up trip to Philadelphia.
In describing the accident an officer Of
the steamer said "a heavy fog pre-
vailed on the river and we did not see the
schooner until she was 100 yards distant
coming from Philadelphia and iacking
towards the Jersey shore. The steamer
gave one blow of the whistle and reversed
her engines. The schooner made no re-
sponse, but kept on her oourse aud had
passed in front Of the Morgan's bow,
when the captain of the sailing craft left
his elm and began running about his
boat. VeeriDg around towards the Della.
ware shore, the schooner crashed into the
homework of the gangway of the steamer
which had by this time come to full
stop. The Morgan sustained damage to
the extent OF several hundred dollars and
the schooner had heI jibboom broken int
splinters.''
The steamer proceeded on her course to
Philadelphia, where carpenters were
promptly set to work repairing her
damages.
The captain of the schooner biamea the
steamer and the officers OF the lattm esy
no accident would have occurred ii the
schooner had kept on her course.
