The Models Excursion.

The picnic which was given the poor children
of the city yesterday by the Model Clothing
Company was the event of the day. Nearly 500
children, boys and girls, gathered at the ap-
pointed place before s o'clock, and after march
ing through the streets, headed by the Model
Band, the music of which could hardly be heard
on account of the boisterous demonstration of
it's enthusiastic followers, were taken to the
Union Depot. Ten cars were filed by the
crowd, and at $50 o'clock the train pulled out
for Philadelphia. in Hancock county,
here the young folks spent the day
in the woods. There were 1900 sand
wiches, thirty gallons of ice-cream, and some
thing less than a ton Of cake taken along to feed
the crowd, and it was altogether a great day for
the children. They were brought back in the
evening, rather weary from their exuberance of
enjoyment, but all willing to repeat the expert
ence at the first opportunity. John Schaffner
furnished the ice cream and sandwiches gratis.

DIED AT THE DEPOT.
An Invalid En- Route to His Illinois Home
Dies on the Cars.

Immediately after the arrival of the l., B. &
W. train from Cincinnati, last night, at 1915
o'clock, Flanner & Hommown's ambulance
was called to the Union Depot, by
telephone, to remove a sick passenger
to the City Hospital. Before the ambulance
arrived at the depot, however, the man died.
BetpNe the train left Cincinnati the stranger had
complained of feeling SIX, and during the trip
to this city he seemed to be i'll from a chill. It was
not supposed. however. that his illness was of a
dangerous nature. The body was taken to the
undertaking establishment Of Flanner & HON.
mown. and will remain there until the relatives
of the deceased can be communicated with rela-
tive to his funeral. From letters found
in the strangers possession it seems that
his name is Joseph Wilcox, and that his home is
in Harrington, III. Tn letters indicated that
he was a carpenter and had been working
on a hotel building in Citra, Fla.
One OF the letters, which was mailed at
Pennington on Aug. II. and vas signed Your
loving daughter Sarah" stated that the family
would expect him home sure on Sept. l. He
had evidently been away for several months,
and was returning to his family when
his death occurred on the train while in this
city. In his pockets were found $l09 in cash and
a silver watch. A telegram has been sent to
Harrington by Flanner & Hammown, informing
the family of the death.

Alleged Fraudulent Conveyances.

Recently, by Esquire Feibelman, judgments
were given in favor of E. N. Cook & Co., Hugh
and Emma Sweeney being the parties sued.
The aggregate amount is $3.50. 81. When a levy
of execution was sought it is charged that Hugh
Sweeney claimed exemption, as he had no per-
sonalty except household goods and no real
estate. Yesterday Cook & Co. fled a
complaint in the Superior Court, alleging that
there had been a fraudulent conveyance of real
estate from Hugh to Emma Sweeney. They
seek to have the conveyance set aside and the
property subjected to execution.
A suit of somewhat similar character was also
begun by William II. Henscher against John S.
and Emma S. Smith. 1t is alleged that in Feb
ruary, 1884, Smith purchased a lot with his own
money but had the deed made in favor of his
wife. However, it is charged that the Smiths
pretended the lot was in the lame Of the hus-
band. Believing this to be the case, plaintiff
contracted to build q house on the lot for defend
ants, and he performed the work satisfactorily,
but there IS a small balance due on payments.
He charges that the deed of conveyance was
made to the wife in order to prevent him from
getting his money for the building. He further
says the deed has been withheld from record.
He wants the deed declared null and void, and
also seeks judgment for the balance due him.

John G. Dalton's Affairs.

The recent assignment of John c.. Dalton is to
come into court on the complaint of Hendrick-
son, Letter & Co., which they filed yesterday.
They charge that to secure the payment of a
note for 1856 80 given them by Dalton, on July
II last, a chattel mortage was taken. 1t is
claimed that this mortgage has precedence of
others given on the same day, except that to
VIM. w. Sickles for 1888. SO. 1t is alleged that
mortgages executed in favor of Thomas
Dalton and Corwin P. Sells for 81, 231. 20 and
$500, respectively, were without consideration, OF,
if any Indebtedness ever existed, it had been
paid. Other mortgages, that Of the Iron Bridge
Hatters' Association and N. j. Nascimento are,
it is claimed, junior to that of plaintiffs. It is
further stated the property so mortgaged is not
sufficient to meet ali these claims, and plaintiffs
think the affairs of Mr.. Dalton should be turned
over to a receiver, whose appointment they pray
