BOB ALIEN OAPTURED.


Captured at wyoming To-day.
Bob Allen, oolored, the notorious des-
perate burglar and jail breaker, who ia
wanted for robberies committed in
various parts OF the State, was arr sted
at Wyoming Friday morning by county
constable.
The particulars Of the capture are not
fully known, but from what car be
learned, II was effected through the
treachery OF the criminals friend who,
after learning from Allen where he was,
impaired the information TO the constable.
As 800 reward had been laid for
Aliens arrest, b was in custody within
q short time after he was known to the
county official. When captured he was
losfing around the stable yard at
the Wyoming hotel and was SURPRISED
by the constable who after making
him prisoner took him to jail. There
WAS another negro, stranger, in Aliens
company, supposed to be Henry Rsiaen,
equally notorious ss thief and for hose
reeap!ure there 10 reward OF $50 stand
ing. After Allen had fallen into the
hands Of the authorities his strange CON.
panion mysteriously aud quickly disap
peared.
Bob Allen the prisoner ia beyond doubt
one Of the most law defying, desperate
criminals on the Peninsula. He has been
implicated in numerous burglsries traced
directly 20 him and his gang. 1t was es-
tablished a. fact that he was re-
spopsibls for and participant in
the many burglaries committed in the
vicinity Of Wyoming in the winter OF
1882 8. He has been twice arrested by
Special Officer Jones OF this city while
stratsge tioAlly trying to pass through
this city with hfs plumber. Once he was
inoaroerated for a time in Chester
town, Maryland, Jail, and breaking ont
resumed his thisvipg. He and Henry
Raiser were captured by Detective Jones
in May, 1883, and taken to Dover jail to
await trial upon charges OF burglary com.
miLsed in the vicinity Of Wyoming, sufi-
cient In number TO send him to jail for 20
years. While lying in prison he evinced
perfect contentment and seemed go
| we'll pleased with his surroundings
that the jailers grew lax in enforcing the
discipline and give the black desperate
many privileges. On Saturday evening,
August 28th, Allen headed a gang OF six
prisoners, including Raiser, four
other burglars and prisoner
awaiting trial on capital crime,
and all made their escape. Liberty was
gained by quitting off an iron bar leading
to the yard, removing smother and max.
ing an aperture through which al
orswled. When in the yard board wal
Ont from the fence and the six men es
capped in the twilight, though with tn,
exception Of Raisen and Allen, all wer,
retaken in short time. How Allen walked
out Of his cell to the jail corridor
and delivered his fellow jail birds ia
mystery which has never been explained
though II is presumed that woman
who visited him, secured key tina
fitted the look.
II the Dover jail will hold the adroi
prison breaker, he may assure himsel
that long term behind iron bars is II
store for him.

CAMBRIDGE, Md, Sept. 23.-The new
steamer Fred Avon OF the Choptank
Steamboat Company will be placed on
this route October 10th. This imphny
has small steamer running from
Greensboro to Mediord wharf, connecting
with their regular daily boats TO Bslti-
more. When the new boat comes on we
will have six first class steamers running
from the Choptank river To Baltimore.
AS the case Of the state vs.. John MUIR
ray, for the killing OF John N. Steele,
which was removed To Centreville, will
be called on the Monday before election
day, an effort is being made to have the
case postponed until the Monday follow
ing the election, witnesses and others
desiring to be in Cambridge to vote.
Public sentiment, which was at one time
30 strongly adverse to Murray, is now
the other way, and nobody with whom
your correspondent has talked on the
subject Of late, seems to want him con
vIoted.
Building operations are very brisk
here at present and new houses are going
up on every hand.
The oyster season has begun with a
poor demand, and packers are doing but
little work. oystermen report the
bivalves as very SCARCE in the Choptank
this season. There are hundred more
boats engaged in the business here now
than last season, 5..--
The drouth which has prevailed here
so long is now very alarming. In some
localities in the county farmers have to
haul water distance Of or 10 miles for
their stock. In Cambridge many Of the
wells are dry and nearly all others are
about 10 fail. We have one or two
Artesian wells, however, that will supply
the town with drinking water.

barn and outbuildings on the Gum Tree
farm, near Mount Pleasant, were totally
destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.
The tenant, James Barnett, loses heavily
on hay, wheat, oats, corn and farming
implements. The fire originated from
few matches and misohievous negro
boy. When the flames got headway the
boy, who is about IL years old, ran
of, and has not been seen since.
The buildings were partially insured. Mr..
Barnett lost everything he hal stored for
stock food dnriug the coming winter, to-
gether with his seed wheat. Some Of our
citizens were muoh excited when the fire
was first seen. As II WAS in direct line
with PArvis & williams phosphate fac
tory they supposed the latter building to
be burning.

TOPEKA, KAs., Sept. 4.-John P. 81.
John, the Prohibition candidate for
President, was in this city , yesterday, but
his presence attracted no special stten-
ton. A conference was held with him
by the members Of the Prohibition state
central committee, when they discussed q
proposition Of nominating another candi-
date for governor in the place Of A. B.
Jatmore, who was nominated but de-
olined. II was agreed that the party
shall put up another candidate, but who,
was not decided.
Mr.St. John left last night for the east,
and will make speeches in Ohio, New
York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois
until the Gath of October. Then he re-
turns to Kansas, and from that time until
the day Of election will proceed to stir up
the situation here. He will bring ave or
six Prohibition speakers with him TO can
vass the state. The governor says he
will receive more votes in western New
York and portions Of Ohio than either
Blaine or Cleveland, and feels confident
that his vote throughout the country
will reach 100000.

sharp Contests IN BrnndywIne and
Chrtstfnua = Harry mahafTy Re.
nominnted-FuiI Returns for the
County.
The great surprise Of the Republican
nomination election, Saturday afternoon,
was the defeat Of Levy Courtmsn Chris
tian Febiger, who was candidate for re.
nomination, by John W. Hawkins. The
lsttsr's success was not looked for though
II was known that the three relatives
James L., Henry and Samuel Hawkins
all active politioisns-were working
actively, aided W ex.Marshal John M.
Dunn and others. No special effort was
made by Mr.. Febiger's friends, and
at one polling plaoe-the Third
whrd-no tickets bearing his
name could be found, and the forty
people who voted for him there, took
Hswkins' tickets and wrote Febiger's
name thereon. The defeat Of Mr.. Febieer,
who has always proved strong oAndi-
date, lie q regular "wet blanket" for the
party leaders, who can account for 1t
upon no other hypothesis than general
oussedness" on The part OF those who
voted for Hawkins and general apathy on
the part Of those who now recognizes the
lack Of wisdom evidenced by his ncmina-
tion.
There was still another exhibition Of
spite and foolishness, though to q smaller
extent, In the Seventh ward, where few
Stalwarts tried to get up q laugh at the
expense OF George 8. Capelle, candidate
for State senator, and Messrs. George W.
Stone and William G. 5prusnoe, Req
candidates for delegates, by striking OF
their names and voting for notorious
negroes in their stead. The scattering
vote In this precinct was rs follows
Senator, Edward Belts, Al; John d.
Adams, 2; Lewis Bordley, a crazy negro,
2; Delegates, William s. Bullock, /
Samuel Speakman, /; Ned Leary, 8;
AloDzo Greenwood, oolored, A.
The voting In Wilmington passed of
without excitement and q light vote was
polled all over the city excepting in the
eastern precinct Of the Second ward
(South Wilmingten) where $40 votes
were returned. This Is within 81 OF the
total vote Of the precinct polled at tn,
city election, at which time the Republi-
can vote was only 1856. No one will pre-.
tend TO assert that Saturdays vote was
an honest poll, and the general supposi.
tion Ia that the trick was for the purpose
Of creating the impression that the INDIE
pendent Blaine Club, which could not
muster five members at Its last meeting,
has succeeded In converting nine. tenths
Of the Democrats Of South Wilmington.
The contest for assessor In the Third
district was quite spirited, but Thomss
L. Robinson succeeded In winning by a
small plurality over to Lexington Barney,
