Taken Away From His Home I'm
Trenton and Given 10 a Farmer.
Philadelphia Times special.
TRENTON, July 26.-Wardell Weston,
an iron moulder, and his wife are nearly
worried to death since May Oath over the
mysterious disappearance on that day OF
their 11.yesr-old son, Joe. The last seen
Of him was in company with strange
man at the Pennsylvadia railroad station.
Days wore on and the most painstaking
searches resulted In finding no clue to
the lad. Finally on Thursday a young
man from the neighborhood Of Princeton
heard the mothers sad tale and re-
membered that he had seen sandy
haired, blue-eyed boy, answering the
description given, at q farmers at Clarks-
Vile.
Yesterday Mr.. Weston started early
and walked all the way to Clafksville.
He had been directed to Farmer William
Vests place. As he entered the grounds
he saw the lost boy coming from the
barn. The meeting was an affecting one.
The lad cried with Joy and said he had
been partly allursd and partly forced ON
train the day OF his disappearance by q
countryman who had brought him to
Vests farm. Although he had often
begged to be sent home West watched
him closely and refused to let him go.
When West WAS confronted by the father
he had little TO say, except that the boy
was brought to him by his brother-in law
and he supposed it was all right. He did
not treat the boy cruelty and this saved
him from Mr.. Weston's hands. The
latter is taking legal advice as to the best
method OF redress.

Needs OF Quarantine.

Collector Of the Port II. F. Pickels has
suggested to the Secretary of the Treasury
by letter, that the establishment of q
quarantine station for this port would be
q very advisable move inasmuch as ves-
sells frequently arrive here from various
foreign ports without being inspected
as to the sanitary condition, Of their
crews. With the strict quarantine
regulations for Philadelphia it is feared
that infected vessels might take aivan-
tage of the absence Of a quarantine
station here and make their landings at
this port. A sort Of floating quarantine
is suggested in the shape Of vessel with
q staff Of competent physicians aboard.
Friday q ships crew came over the
Delaware railroad from the lower end of
the state On route to Phi'adelphis. This
peculiar manner Of leaving the vessels
has given rise TO the suspicion that the
ship had not health papers sufficiently
clean to pass through ths quarantine
station above Chester, Pa.

JGTON. DEL. THURSDAY. JULY 81 1884.

When the time Of death came II was hard
to tell him he must die; he said, ~ am
ready to prepare myself and he received
extreme unotion. At that bed OF agony
and sorrow Lesson was taught TO all
all those surrounding him. Much
could bd said Of his virtues, his
goodness, his kindness We have
to extend charity to his peevishness
during sickness. Finally death crept
upon him, and, asking your prayers
asking your pardon for his shortcomings
as q priest, he offered his soul TO his
Maker, and he ia now the first priest at
rest In the new cemetery. His venerable
gray haired old father shedding tears
into the open grave would affect the hard
est heart. The best wreath you can
weave is to pray at the altar, better
than all the flowers you may cast
at his grave. l suggest that
all who knew him; all who received any
benefit at his hands approach the holy
sacrament and pray for him. For II is
not an easy thing for q priest to reach
heaven for those to whom great talents
have been given great account Of their
will be required. Pray for
him at the altar, pray for him at your
family homes, and At your bed sides, and
then the best act Of gratitude as restitu-
tion will be made thus that can be both
for your own souls and his benefit.

New York Star special.
BUFFALO, July 25.--A sensation was
occasioned here this afternoon by a
rumor, which obtained currency later in
the day, that warrants had been issued
for the arrest Of the author and publisher
OF the article entitled ga Terrible Tale,"
which appeared in the Eusning Telegram
on Monday last. The story, which has
now been spread broadcast throughout
the country, charged the governor with
the betrayal and desertion of Maria
Halpin and her infant son. II professsd
TO give, In detail, the circumstances OF a
painful scandal relating to the governors q
early career, and furnished the names
and dates in connection with the alleged
occurrences.
Since the publication of the story II
has been the principal topic in political
| circles here. So much capital has been
made out OF II by the Republican press
that the governors friends finally urged
him to take thS necessary course to
| punish oriminaliy the assailAnts OF his
| private character. He was 10th to d.
this, believing that the right-minded
people would set 1t down as q campaign
invention. designed to injure his pros
poets in the election. The wide currency
given to the ptory, however, and the fact
that several Democratic and many Re-
publican ] urnals demanded that 1t
should be met and refuted changed his
resolution Of silence, and to-day his law
partners are reported to have taken the
necessary steps to vindioate his character
by criminal process.
1t ia claimed by the friends Of the
governor that the story, when thoroughly
sifted, will be disposed OF In way that
cannot reflect upon his reputation in any
degree, and that long before the work Of
the campaign begins, the scandal will
have been laid at rest and its author
properly punished.
The proprietors of the Telegraph pre-
serve silence on the subject to night.T They
assert, however, that should the case be
brought into court they will produce evi
denos to sustain the publication.
One OF the editors Of the Epening Iele
graph stated tonight that from his 9TH,
editor's) information arrests will likely
be made tomorrow; that they are expect
ing il and are prepared for 1t.

An IRON Company,a Failure.

According to an Associated Press
dispatch from West Chester, Pa, the
assignment made on Monday week by the
Coatesville Iron Company was caused by
the failure of Carmichael & Emmons,

After their failure the iron company's
paper went to protest and suits to the
amount Of ESQ, 900 were brought against
1t In Chester county, but before judg.
ment oould be obtained the assignment
was decided upon. The assets are set
down at 0,000, and the liabilities at
$250,0U0. 1t has not yet been decided
whether or not the company will work
up the raw material, and meanwhile ESQ
men are thrown out OF employment.
