A Delaware Quarrel.

One Of the most shocking crimes In the
history of the place has just been perpe-
trated near Georgetown, Del. William
II. Donovan and Jamas Warren, farmers,
who live five or six miles from town, are
brothers .in-law, and their wives, upon
the death Of their mother, inherited Il
tract Of land jointly. \ squabble arose
over the division of the land and they have
been engaged in litigation ever since. On
Sunday Warren went over upon the por-
ton Of the land laid OF and allotted to his
wife. Donovan ordered him of, and upon
reaching the public road Donovan attack
ed Warren with a pitchfork and at the
same time set fierce bulldog on him.
The dog bit the flesh from Warren's legs
and body, mutilating him horribly. His
face is marked with the sharp prongs Of
the pitchfork and the flesh is just clinging
In shreds to his limbs. He is lying in \
very critical condition and fears are enter
tanned for his recovery. Donovan was
appointed Recorder Of Deeds for Sussex
county in 1873 and served one term Of i've
years. A warrant has been issued for his
arrest,

A big Blaze.

At Philadelphia on Friday the light
ming struck one of the large tanks OF tile
Atlantic Oil Refining Company and set 1t
afire, causing most disastrous conilagra-
ton. The tank struck by the electric bolt
contained $4,000 barrels Of petroleum.
The force of tho explosion that followed
lifted the massive iron roof and hurled it
several hundred yards into the mids. oil
number of other tanks filled with refined
oil. The flames spread rapidly from one
tank to another. The large crude Oil tank
was the terminus reservoir Of the STAN
dard Oil Company's line to Philadelphia.
The fire burned steadily all night. AT u
O'Clock big tank near the gas works eX-
ploded, and the burning oil was scattered
I'm all directions, and the tiremen, who
saw the utter uselesSness of throwing
water upon the flames, turned in to help
the fire patrol service of the company
who were engaged in banking up the
pipes with dirt to protect them from the
heat and ut the same time form a breast
work of earth which would serve to retard
the progress of the burning fluid. At 9.3o

and exploded with Il deafcning crash. The

A FEW FASHION NOTES.

Fashion has gone wild over lace this
season, and it Is impossible to use too much
of it In either black or white. Chantilly
and guipure are the fashionable laces.
Spanish is ont of style.
Surah silk is the fashionable material
for bridesmaids dresses. Brides wear long
white silk gloves in preference to those
made of kid. They look well, anu are
easier to get OFF and on than kid.
Short pinked fIounces of glossy silk,
with panniers anu cordage Of canvas, Will
make the tylish dress of the season. Plain
skirts, which are so effective when we'll
made, will not be discarded.
Scotch cheviots and all-wool Engiish
cloths OF business suits are used III SMALL
plaids, checks and plain dark colors, es-
pecally brown, gray and blue. The coat
is in sack shape, or else it is the four-D"t-
ton cutaway coat, made very high at the
throat, with high vest of the same cloth,
and trousers also of the same, which are
made 4 trifle looser than those Of last year.
The most fashionable hat for little girls
is all white, and some of them arc lovely.
4 very odd and stylish-looking hat has
large round box crown and high, harins
5rim.
Full plated ovcrskirts are fasliionaoly
made with the front representing III OUT
spread fan, and the back il laid OH III
plaits half its length and draped rs pun
with plated rutiie below.
The cobweb bonnet is the latest novelty.
The frame is in the finest metallic netting,
a kind of gauze, over silk, which serves rs
lining. On the wires are fixed ut certain
distances small flies, having the air OF
"walking into the parlors;" in front are
rolls of lace or n bow Of ribbon on which
Il butterfly reposes.
Among the novelties in parasols are
beautiful STYLES Of the seamless" These
are shown in black, or black and white
cheeks or plnlds; also in plain delicate
tints of the new spring colors. The covers
fall over the frames in drapery style, TN :

a Man Killed by n Hog.

Henry Ward, Of Philadelphia, met his
death in horrible form Monday last.
For some months past Mr.. Ward had had
in his possession large hog, which was
during the day allowed to run in the back
yard. During the night it was kept In
pen in the yard. Some days ago the hog
developed ali ugly disposition. Several
times it turned on its owner while being
driven TO its pen, and had to be subGucd
with club. Monday the animal became
unusually vicious and attacked every per-
son WHO came near it. a dog that was
set on the brute in the hope that lie would
drive the hog to his pen was routed and
narrowly escaped death by scaling five
foot picket fence. Dir. Ward undertook
to drive the hog into his pen. The beast
trottcd sullenly ahead until within few
feet OF tho gate, when it turned and, with
Il vicious snort, charged OH its owner. The
man tried to beat the hog of with stick,
but was overpOwered. In an instant the
hog reared itself on its hind feet, and
throwing its weight against the man bore
him to the earth. The animal theE sprans
on Mr.. Ward with its front hoofs drawn
closely together, and before the PROSTATE
man could recover his footing the hog had
made Il bad wound in his abdomen with
its teeth. The wounded man was rescued
by some ncighbors, but bled to death be-
fore medical assistance arrived. The hog
WIS killed with an axe.

A Precious Ball Well Caught.

Nora Oberly,-a five-year-old daughter
of Edmund Oberly, had an experience
yesterday which far surpasses ANY leap
for life and liberty performed by circus
jumpers. She WAS locked i'll third-story
room ut the residence of her aunt, ut the
corner of Liberty and Pleasant streets,
while her aunt went out shopping. Be
ing an unwilling prisoner the little one
soon cast about for means OF cgress, and
the only exit she saw was through an
open window looking out upon Pleasant
street. Out Of this window the child clam
bered and was observed hanging by her
tiny arms from the window-sill, fully
thirty-tive feet from the sidewalk. Pass
ers-by were horror-stI icken ut the sight,
but while others were waiting for the cul-
mination Of fatal fall Louis RunZman
took i'm the situation ut glance and WAS
quick to act. He was on the opposite side
of Pleasant street when he caught sight
of the child's peril, and with all speed he
placed himself just below and waited.
1t was but for moment. The child's
fingers slipped and down through the air
she fell to what would have been certain
death but that Mr.. Kunzman's arms were
sure and strong. The girl landed safely
in his embrace. 1t was Il dangerous catch
for him, for had the falling child struck
him on the head it would probably have
disabled him. As il was it strained his
arms, but he was still able to run alta
lively rate as soon rs he saw the Child was
safe, and the crowd of people which had
Immediately gathered began to sound his
praises Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

delph:a Times says: On Wednesday MORN
ing Miss Jellis Storm, pretty girl of a,
and Rudolph Claycey, aged 20, boarded
the Shenandoah Valley train at Patterson,
In Augusta county. They were bound for
this place, to be married. Soon after the
train started the cxpcctant groom began
to grow restless, and in short time COM
municated to II gentleman on the train the
object of the trip and said that he had ar
rived ut the conclusion that he did not
want to get married just at this time. lie
asked, with great sOlicitude, how he could
get out of the scrape. He was advised to
board the south-bound train when the
trains passed each other ut Marksville and
so get out of reach Of the lady. His all
wiser promised to give the girl enough
money to return to her home.
Claycey decided to act upon the suggeS-
ton and when the train reached Marks
vile he quietly and unobserved ny the
girl boarded the other train and the two
were soon travelling in opposite directions.
When the girl discovered her loss she left
the train ut the next station, declining the
use of money. She then started oil walk
OH the track to overtake her fleeing lover.
she reached Patterson Friday, a distance
of fly miles, having walked it in one and
half days, and found Clayccy at store
in which lie was clerk. The two left soon
after for Hagerstown, where they were
married late Friday evening. The young
mans parents were opposed to the match
OH account of the inferior social position
of the girl and the fact that she is older
than Claycey
