The Narrow Escape and Dangerous
WouDd OF EIIwood Pyle.

Ellwood p. Pyle, son of Joseph Pyle,
of the firm of @. g. J. Pyle, met with an
accident Saturday from which he mar
rowly escaped with his life. He was
going cunning for reed birds in company
with a Young man named Samuel Harris.
The two secured boat at the house of
Brennan a. McManus and started up the
Christiana, Harris pulling the oars and
Pyle sitting in the stern, steering. One
of the guns was lying in the bottom of
the boat, and Harris attempted to move
il, when il went off in his hands. The
muzzle of the gun WINS not more than ten
inches away from Pyle at the time, and
pointing at him. The load hit him in the
front of the right thigh, in the fleshy part,
and made wound as deep as the bone
about six inches long and four wide. The
parties had hardly left the wharf before
the accident occurred, and Harris imme-
diately pulled back to the boat landing.
Pyle was placed in carriage and driven
to the office of DIR. West, where he WIS
taken charge of by the doctor at about 2
o'clock who picked out the shot and
wadding, MS well as shreds of the injured
mans clothes that had lodged in the
wound. The hurt was then dressed and
the patient removed to the residence of
his father, on Fourth street beyond
Union.
THE wound is not very dangerous in
itself, and unless blood poisoning takes
place no doubt of recovery is entertained.
Mr.. Pyle is about 81 years of age. His
parents were not at home at the time of
the accident, Mr.. Pyle having gone to
Elmira, N. Y, last week to attend the
Great council Of the United States, /. o.
R. NJ, of which order he is prominent
member.

THE CHILDR EMS FRIENDS.
Offering 10 Work HHand-in-EHand
with The AsEOcinted Charities.

The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children held meeting Tues
day afternoon at the society's Office, No.
West Sixth street. The business brought
forward was more important and urgent
than is usually the case at the society
meetings.
The case of the little boy, Ben Wyland
who was recently rescued by the officers
of the society from the brutality of
Benjamin Riggin, farmer living near
Seaford, was considered, and it was de-
veloped that little girl going by the
name of Matte was in the clutches of
Riggin under circumstances very similar
to those in which the boy was found.
A letter was received by Austin Har-
rington, Esq, from John Straightiff of
Grafton, Pa, in which the latter stated
that he believed the little girl WINS his
sister, who had been given by his mother
to the Rev. Mr.. Hall of Huntingdon, Pa,
the hitter being The father of Mrs. Riggin
and having also procured the boy for
these parties. The girl has been identified
as Esther Straightilf, Johns sister, and he
is determined to get her out of the Riggin
clutches. Mr.. Harrington was instructed
by the society to gather the necessary
proofs and proceed without delay to
rescue the girl from her guardians.
A project is on foot to district the city
for society work, and also to place con-
tribution boxes on the lamp posts and in
other prominent positions for the recep-
ton of the pennies of school children
and others, as the society is in some need
of funds. The following resolutions
were adopted
In view of the fact that tho Associated
Charities Of Wilmington having frequently
discovered in the regular course of their
work cases of cruelty to children, as well
as of neglect both physical and moral OF
these dnfortunates, and further, since that
organization does not profess to provide
especially for the relief and protection Of
children, therefore be it
Resolved, That this board request the
managers of tho Associated Charities that
they will refer all such eases as arc herein
above described to the proper officers OF
this society for prompt and careful atten'
ton, thus relieving the Associated Charities
of class of cases for which their charter
and methods were not originally designed
as well as aiding most effectively the ciius'
of the oppressed in this community 10y com
hitting TO the charge of this society thos'
cases which come within its peculial
province.
The society adjourned until Friday
evening next.

A False Telegram Announcing That
william Lewis was Dead.

A rumor was prevalent on the street
Sunday that William Lewis, son of
ex-policeman John w. Lewis of No.
1877 Walnut street, had fallen from a
sand boat between this city and Philndel-
phin and drowned. The father was given
dispatch which had been received by q
neighbor and which was dated "Gray's
Ferry, September 18th, 10.41 n. M" 1t
said, civilian Lewis drowned; fell eff
vessel. Give to his friends" and was
signed 81. @. Moore" it,. ..-
Mr.. Lewis was, of course, greatly exer-
cised by the telegram and reports. His
son works on the schooner Mary E..
Smith, which was lying at Philadelphia
on Saturday and run by Captain Hick-
man. Lewis telegraphed to the chief of
detectives in Philadelphia, and was
answered that there was nothing in it,
but in order to make assurance doubly
sure went to Philadelphia early Sunday
morning and found the young man alive
without having had even an accident.
There is no man connected with the
schooner Mary L. Smith by the name of
Moore, and who sent the dispatch which
caused all Mr.. Lewis anxiety, and why it
was sent, cannot be imagined.

THE CHINESE MINERS.
The knights of Labor Working for
Their Expulsion.


Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
RAwLINs, wy. r., Sept. 16.-The
Knights of Labor have taken up the
cudgel against the Chinese, and the ulti-
mate expulsion of the Mongolians from
the territory is probable.
Mr.. Neesham, representing the Union
Pacific division of the Knights of Labor,
arrived here yesterday and was met by
Mr.. Bramley, representing President
Adams of the Union Pacific company
Both spent the day in looking
into the causes of the anti Chinese
demonstrations. It was shown that the
Chinese were brought back against their
wishes. Mr.. Neesham left for Denver
last night. He said to a correspondent !:
1.-THE information received to-day
astounds me. The situation is desperate
and calls for heroic measures"
II is feared there will be trouble unless
the Union Pacific recedes from its posi-
ton and sends the Chinese out of the
country. 1t is not unlikely, however,
that this matter will settle itself in a few
days without interference from any one.
The Chinese here are becoming democrat
lied. Thirty of them boarded yesterdays
west-bound express and like number set
out for the west on foot with baggage on
their back. The white unions were told
they could go back to work this morning
and will likely do so if no attempt is
made to work Chinese with them. So fur
the Chinese have been afraid to go down
into the mines and have consequently
been idle since the riot.

ALmsHoUsE INrEsTIGArIoN.
Levy Court Committee Meeting with
Obstacles-rhe Investigation Pri-

Levy Court Committee Meeting With
ObstacIes-rhe Investigation Pri-
vate.
The committee of the levy court
appointed to investigate charges of ex-
travagance and incompetency in the man
agement of the county almshouse have
held two or three meetings already and
have heard some testimony. Contrary to
the expectations and desires of the public
the investigation is being conducted in
private, no one but the committee and
the witnesses being admitted to the star
chamber. One of the members states
that the Investigations are conducted in
private, because were the proceedings
printed as taken, parts of it might do an
injustice to some of those under investiga-
ton, which when the testimony is all
heard would put the matter in an
entirely different light. How far the
examination has gone is not known, but it
will be several weeks probably before the
report is presented to the levy court, as
the committee only sits one or two days
each week.
A committeeman in conversation with
a, GAZETTE Il JOURNAL reporter stated
that the investigation has proceeded far
enough to assure him that it would be
worth several hundred dollars to the tax.
payers of the county. This statement,
however, from succeeding conversation,
was understood to imply that the discus
sion of the charges in the newspapers
which led to the committees investiga-
ton would, or had already put check
upon the extravagances, which were re-
cognized by everyone to exist in the
almshouse management.
As was anticipated the committee finds
itself considerably handicapped through
not having the power TO enforce the
attendance of witnesses and obliging
them to testify under oath. Two persons
who were strongly suspected of being
in possession Of just such fact as would
be of material aid to the committee in
reaching its conclusions have refused to
testify, and decline in any way to assist
in the investigation. The books of the
board have been examined, but il is not
thought any discrepancies have been found
in the accounts. 1t wns not thought that
there was anything at fault with the
books; the Irregularities it is thoroughly
believed will come to light from another
source
The promise is still made the public,
by the committee, that the investigation
shall be thorough and complete, without
whitewash or veneer, but the public feels
that its sessions should be public. Had
the doors been opened during the hearing
of testimony there would have been entire
faith in the work in hand.
II is snid that one day will be set apart
for the public, when charges can be made
before the committee, so that they can be
investigated by those delegated by the
levy court to do the work.

Collector Pickles Likely tO soon
Have aII Appointment 10 Make.
II Collector of the Port Pickles is not
succeeded by n Democratic appointment
within the next two months, which does
not seem at all probable from the present
outlook, he will be called upon to make
an appointment in his Office. The
appointment will be to succeed Deputy
Collector j. b. Clarkson, who has nc
cepted position with the new Security
Trust and Safe Deposit Company, and
whose resignation will take effect about
the LIST of November.
It will not he in accordance with Mr..
Pickles past political course to give this
appointment to Democrat, but in con-
formity with the new political dispelsa-
ton that originated with the present
national administration, he will sink his
political considerations aud appoint Il
Democrat to the tcnncy. This plan has
already been adopted by quite u number
of Republican Federal officials, with the
hope, doubtless, of removing from their
skirts all faint of "oilensive partisan
ship" and thus strengthening their
chances of holding on to Office until the
end of their official terms, If not longer.
With the understanding TINT this course
is to be pursued, no Republicans are ap-
plying for the vacancy to he caused by
Deputy Clnrkson's prospective rtsigna-
ton. but three Democrats have already
announced their willingness TO accept the
appointment. These are Charles j. Kyle,
Edward Singles and f. Harold Rhoads,
son Of Mayor Rhoads. Collector Picliels
has the applications under advisement
but will make no appointment until Mr.
Clarkson's resignation is rendered and
accepted
