n CASHMERE SHAWL
which Turned UP in am Unexpected
PTRPe.

The Delaware Pioneer is responsible for
the following report of little episode
which, it says, happened recently in this
city;
A lady entered her favorite dry goods
store, where she often made purchases,
and saw there beautiful cashmere shawl
which pleased her very much. The mer-
chant pressed her to buy the shawl, the
price of which was 5000
~ have not that much money" she
answered, "but / will tell you how we
we can arrange it: will pay you 800
ON the shawl now and keep it here till
you see my husband going by then You
call him in, show him the shawl, and offer
it to him for 800 and he will buy it
quick"
The merchant agreed to this; the lady
paid over the 800, and shortly after, her
husband came along and the sale was con-
summated according to programme.
The lady was promptly informed by
the merchant of the success of her
scheme, and she waited anxiously for the
shawl. But she waited in vain.
Who shall describe her amazement
when, in a recent promenade, she saw
that coveted shawl on the shoulders of
fair neighbor, in whom, it seems, her
husband has taken q more than neigh
borly interest

Edward Russell, living ct Rising Sun,
and employed at the quarry IF Petetr'fyTe
on the Riddle estate was bitten Monday
week by copper-head snake. When
bitten he was raising d stone TO put a
chain around il when the reptile, which
was lying eoiled underneath inserted hi.
fangs in Russels finger. II held tightly the
young man raising it as high as his head
by its hold. In order to induce the viper
to release its hold Russell caught IL
around the neck with his left hand and
squeezed it until the reptile opened its
mouth and tried to strike him again.
Russell gameIy held on to tia few moments
until he could lay it on a stone, when he
cut it in two with heavy weight.
After dispatehing the ugly snake,
Russell went to drug store about mile
away where the wound was cauter-
lied and a physician sent for who tele-
phoned instructions as to treating the
poisonous bite. The most potent remedy
applied was to cut live chicken in two and
applying it Immediately to the wound.
During the interval after the finger had
bnen bitten and treatment could be ad-
ministered, several minutes, the hand
swelled to enormous proportions involv-
ing the arm to the elbow. Russell was
unconscious for 10 hours, and suffered
the most excruciating agony. He states
that the pain was far greater than any
one could imagine and that he would not
go through it again for the world.
The finger Friday was still very much
swollen, andS the wounds made by the
viper's fangs are clearly outlined on the
wounded member. The dressing now
employed consists of hax-seed poultice
and sugar of lead. The young man doubt
less owes his life to the fact that at the |
time he received the poisonous wound he |
was exhilarated by the free use of alco-
holic beverages partaken short time |
previous, liquor being the best known |
antidote for the snakes deadly yenum.
The reptile was measured and stretched /
to feet inches long and 5
inches in circumference. When cut |
in two the half attached tc the head /
is said to have jumped 10 feet. The bite
of the copper head is most poisonous and
dangerous, but fortunately they are
strangers in these parts, the one biting

The three-masted schooner reported
ashore on the Brandywine Shoals on Sun
day was the schooner Quaker City, from
Philadelphia to Savannah with cargo of
iron rails. Owing to the dangerous place
where she went ashore, and the way she
pounded on the shoals great fears are en-
tertained as to her safety, and it was
thought that she would be total loss, but
she was hauled off Sunday night by the
tugs Startle aud Clara Uhler, leaking
badly and with her cargo shifted. She
returned to Philadelphia Monday for
repairs, her crew refusing to proceed to
sea with her. The Brandywine shoals are
considered by all pilots and seafearing
men to be the most dangerous of all in
the Delaware Bay, being composed of
quick sand with thick crust on the top,
and if vessel pounds a hole in her bot
tom when ON these shoals she will become
embedded and gradually sink in the sand.

n charge of burglariously entering the
house of Frank II. Thomas, in Whining
ton, on january Goth, 1884, and stealing
several silver%poons and q pair of silver
sugar tongs, owned by Phoebe @. Thomas,

disagreed, and hence the second trial.
Deputy Attorney General Biggs repre-
sented the State and the prisoner was de-
Tended by Walter Bacon, Esq.

ment of the case as the State expected to
prove it.
Ex-Police Officer William II. Marques
testified that last February he called at
the house of Rachel Ewing, col, Union

pected chicken thief. He also searched
the house and found the stolen spoons
AMI sugar tongs which Rachel Ewing said
had been brought there by Sewell
Starkey. The stolen articles were taken
to the police station, and Starkey was
subsequently arrested.
Mr.. Thomas testified to his house, No.
s01 Franklin street, being burglariously
entered and the silver stolen. He after
wards recovered the property at the police
station. At the hearing in the municipal
court, Starkey said he had stolen articles
in his possession at the time stated by
Rachel Ewing, but that they had been
given him by George Robinson.
Rachel Ewing said Starkey came TO hei
house and she put herhandin his pocket
searching for groundnuts, and found the
spoons. She asked Starkey where he got
them and he said, s'never mind"
Ex-Chief of Police Hugh Mcconnell

were returned TO Mr.. Thomas. Starkey
said at his first hearing that he got the
spoons from George Robinson.
