A Local "Reminiscences.


"There were many things which for
got to tell you, in my early reminis-
cences," said our hero of yesterdays
sketches, "but 1 will only give YOU one
occasionally after this, for fear they will
become monotonous. 1 saw load of corn
passing along the streets of your borough
this morning, and it reminded me of the
times when we used to haul corn to Will
mington from my fathers farm in Frank
lin township. After the corn had all been
cribbed, and allowed to dry, we would
put it through a shelter, preparatory to
taking to market. The shelter was not
the complete machine it now is, but we
did it in this manner. The barn floor
was cleaned, the corn spread out thereon,
and the horses were driven over it until
it was all shelled off. 1t was then put
through the fan and cleaned. In the
evening it was loaded in the wagon, and
everything made ready for an early start
the next morning Three o'clock, a. M,
nearly always found us on the way. My
father always held the lines, and happy
was the lucky boy who was allowed to
accompany him. The chief market was
the old Brandywine mills, near Whining
ton. The girls would often accompany
him also, to make purchases for the
household, or buy their winter clothing
or shoes. They would ride upon the load
of corn, and were as we'll contented and
healthy as young ladies are nowadays.
That was also before the railroad was
built. But enough of this for the
present.

Special Commissioner Estey Fisher took
testimony at Port Deposit Friday In the
case Of y. @. Rowland VS.. the Baltimore d
Ohio railroad, in which the complainant
charges that the new bridge over the Sus-
quehanna is an obstruction TO navigation.
Captain Joseph II. Harrison, of the schooner
Eddie, testified that the bridge would me-
cessitate the lowering of his vessels top
masts, at a cost of from SIS to $50 on every
trip he made to Port Deposit. The bridge
will be 80 feet above high and "a feet above
mean tide, while the Eddie's masts are 107
feet high. Captain d. B. Jones Of schooner
VIM. Oliver; Captain Thomas. Christopher,
of schooner Alert; Captain Frank,
OF, schooner A. B. Field, and others
substantiated Captain Harrison g testimony,
and some of them declared that rather than
be subject to the delay, Inconvenience and
expense necessary In order to ship their
top-masts to pass under the proposed
bridge they would cease trading with this
port altogether. r. Harris Archer, James
A. Davis, John J. Buck, J. Harvey Rowland
and John M. McClenahan, all merchants Of
the town and interested In the commerce of
the port, testified as to the amount of busi-
ness done by water and the probable disas-
trous effect of what they considered the
proposed obstruction of the Susquehanna
river. After agreeing to take the evidence
OF Hon. Jacob Tome and Mr.. Samuel @.
Rowland in Baltimore Wednesday LIST, the

NOT LYNoHED BUr MURDE Erred.
A Curious Story From California;
what n Confession Revealed.


IIoIIIsrER, Cal. Nov. 14.-Dr. Powers, n
well-known resident OF this place, was
found hanging TO tree OIL the road near
here on September 18th. AT the time his
body was found 1t was thought that he had
been lynched because of popular feeling
against him, but latterly suspicion became
aroused that he had been murdered, and is
persons were arrested for alleged completely
In the erime. Every effort, however, to OBJ
tain convicting testimony inthe preliminary
examination failed. Twelve persons yet re-
main In custody.
One of these prisoners, named Richard
Alexander, on Saturday last gave to de-
tective written confession, the contents OF
which were kept strictly secret. Levi Alex
ander, the father OF the man who had made
the confession, and who was present when
the statemen. was given to the detectives,
yesterday made its contents public. The
statement shows that the whole matter was
instigated and executed by John Il.
Prewett, who partly by strategy
and partly by coercion inyeigled
18 others into becoming accessories to the
crime. Powers was shot on the evening of
September 18th by Prewett while on his
way home and young Alexander and
Andrew Irwin witnessed the crime. Later
in the evening meeting, at which ID per,
sons were presett. was held for tho avowed
purpose of furnishing Powers on u charge
incendiarism, brought against him by
Prewett. The latter when became up said !:
'sWe needn't discuss tho matter, have set
tied it, The old man is dead"
All present were then Informed that they
were accessory to the murder, and We're
sworn to protect one another. To
strengthen the oath they were induced to
go to the spot where Powers l'ody had been
il # and to take part in hanging 1t where it
was afterwards found. Prewetts enmity
towards Powers was caused by the latter
having been IL witness in n case the result OF
| which was to take from Prewett some ille-
gally-held land. Among those named by
| Alexander as being implicated in the muir
der are DR.. p, A. Schrof, Andrew Irwin,

The ShaDshaied Negro N Baltimore
County Mans


The body of the colored man who was
drowned Monday evening week while at
tempting to swim ashore from the oyster
pnngy Effie II. Coulbourn, Captain f. w.
Beatley, and whose name was thought to
have been William Thompson, was fully
identified Thursday as William Ball, by
Mr.. Frank Battle and Daniel and Lewis
Ball, the last two brothers of the de-
ceased. The dead man was 81 years old,
born in Virginia and was employed on
the farm of Franklin Davis, near Pum-
phrey post Office, Anne Arundel county.
The jury of inquest summoned by Cor
oner Rrltledge to investigate the manner
in which Ball came to his death met Thurs
day night at ssthe Eastern station house.
The two brothers of the deceased were the
first witnesses, and testified that William
had been living in Anne Arundel county
about five years and had only removed to
Baltimore county, not far away from
Davis farm, where he was employed,
some two months ago, when he was mar
ried. He was getting $40 per month on
the farm, and had been paid off on Satur-
day. In addition to that he received $5
Monday morning week from his wife and
started for Baltimore on the 7.30 train
in company with one Walter Hill, who
had Just been married and wanted to buy
some housefurnishing goods. Ball wanted
to assist him in purchasing the goods and,
as Mr.. Frank Battle, anoth sr witness, tes-
tilted, also wished to buy pair of boots
for himself. Mr.. Battle also heard that
Ball had promised his wife to be home
again OH the 1870 train, and if he missed
that he would certainly be home at 5
o'clock.
William Robinson, the colored janitor
of the Baltimore Medical College, was
also examined. He told the jury that he
was shown the body of the drowned man
Thursday morning, and easily recognized
1t as that of the man who jumped over
board from the Coulbourn. He did not
Know his name, and first met him in
shaney's shipping Office, on Eastern
avenue, on Monday morning week, about
IL O'Clock. He did not speak to him
however, until he got on the pungy.
came to be enticed on the pungy and
detained there with Ball, and related the
same story as heretofore published.
The jury rendered a verdict that
:" William Ball, colored, came to his
death from drowning in the harbor of
Baltimore on November 9th, 1885. while |
trying to escape from the schooner Effie
X. Coulbourn, Captain F. w. Beatley,
upon which ne had been placed with the
intention of kidnapping and carrying him
out of the state Of Maryland, and that we
believe Alexander Shaney, Isaac Williams,
colored, and others, to be responsible for
his DEATH"

Evidence That "a MAN Murdered
His Wife for InHIlramce.

Evidence That a NIan Murdered
His Wife for Insurance.
SAN FRANcIsco, CAL, Nov. 12..-What
now has the appearance of peculiar case
of poisoning is beginning to attract
public attention here. Mrs. Cecilia Bowers,
wife of DR.. j. Milton Bowers of this city,
died on the night of rovember LIST. Her life
was insured in several beneficiary organ
izations for S17 900 in favor of her hus-
band. 1t was given out that she died
from an abcess of the liver. Hurried
arrangements were made for her burial but
before the interment took place an un-
known person called at the coroner's
Office and stated that there were reasons
to suspect that the woman had been
poisoned by persons interested in obtain
ing the insurance on her life. On the
strength of further developments her
husband was arrested and the stomach
and intestines of Mrs. Bowers were
placed in the hands of DR.. W. d. johnson
for analysis.
In his report at the coroner's inquest
yesterday he stated that he had no hesita-
tion in asserting that the cause of Mrs.
Bowers death was poisoning by phospho-
rus. DIR. Bowers treats the matter indif-
ferently. He says he will have no trouble
i'll exhonorating himself from any suspi-
cion of having caused his wife's death.
The coroner's jury rendered two ver-
diets, one of which signed by five of the
six jurymen, charges DIR. Bowers with
| the murder of his wife by administering
| poison. The remaining juror tinds sinh
ply that Mrs. Bowers death was caused
by poison administered by her husband.

.4NOTHER FIRE.


CH1oAao, Nov. 14.-The little village of
Austin, ILL.,. was visited by a destructive
fire early this morning. The fire broke out
about Q O'Clock in bakery in the Giles
block, and the entire structure was con-
sumed.
Besides, the bakery where the fire origi-
mated the block contained Traell's drug
store, Warnocks grocery, the Misses Tay-
lor's millinery store, Bowen Il Duntley's
iewelry store, barber shop, q hotel with
Its livery and sale stables, the Masonic Hall,
a skating rink, the post office and news
stand.
There was no water except what could be
drawn from the wells, with which TO fight
the flames. Assistance was asked from this
city and an engine was sent, but the scarcity
of water made it practically useless.
The people ut the hotel had a mar
row escape from death and were
compelled to fee in their night clothes;
by a number of families, all of whom lost
about three-fourths of their household
goods. No estimate could be obtained OF
the loss. There was not much insurance on
the goods lost,

McoIelIan,s Popularity.

The Worcester Spy says: "Talzing leave
of the Army OF the Potomac in November,
1852, General Mcclellan with his staff rode
rapidly along the front of the army drawn
up in line to greet their commander for the
last time. AS the brilliant group swept by,
the regimental colors of the Fifteenth Mas
sachusetts caught his attention. They had
been out in many shower of lead. and had
suffered, especially at Antietam. Only a
few rags fluttered from the shattered staff,
which was patched with IL band of tin
rudely nailed on where it had been broken
by II shot. No other color, In that part of
the line at least, was SO badly torn. Riding
rapidly, Mcclellan had PASSED the regiment
Drfnrc he could check his horse, but then
he wheeled, returned, and halting, saluted
the color pathetic symbol of valor and sac
lcc, by slowly raising his cap. The thun-
lnr Of cheers that acknowledged this act of
gracious courtesy revenled one of the
secrets of McClellan's popularity with the
army"

4 CONFLICTS PLEA.
A Judge Unwilling TO Let Him Plead
asuilty of Murder.

SYCAMORE, Ills, Nov. 12.-James
Young, tho convict, who seven months
ago went to the penitentiary for 10 years,
from Carroll county, and who has con-
fessed to the murder of Hiram Rollen, q
retired farmer of Sandwich, on the night
of February 14th, 1880, was brought into
court yesterday and in response to the
usual interrogatory said he did not wish
any attorney, and pleaded guilty. On
being asked by Judge Killom if he under
stood the full import of his plea and that
he was liable to be hanged, Young re-
piled that he was fully aware of it, and
persisted in pleading guilty.
"Then, sir" said the judge, the
court must say this is among the most
astonishing cases on record. The idea of
a man coming here and entering this plea
is almost beyond belief, and the court
will not enter the plea of guilty until
he has taken some measures to ascertain
regarding your sanity and see whether
you are responsible for your acts"
Young protested that he knew what he
was about and wished to write out state
ment, but Judge Killom would not accept
the plea, but will call special jury to
test his sanity.

Ex.sBxAron SHARON DEAD.
The Career of Another OF the Old
Forty-nincrs

Ghe Career OF AnOther OF the DID
Forty-nincr.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 13.-Ex-Senator
William Sharon died ut 1892 O'Clock this
afternoon
William Sharon was born ut Srithneld,
good education, and prepared himself for
the legal profession, but relinquished it to
enter the banking business. On removing
to Nevada he became largely interested in
mining operations, amassing enormous
wealth. His fortune is estimated ut
S20,0O0,000. The only public position Of
a political character he ever accepted was
that OF United States senator from Nevada,
to which he was elected for the term begin
ming in 1875 and ending in 1881. OF late
years lle las been largely interested in the
financial affairs of the Pacific slope and as
trustee of the Bank If California, and
during the troubles of that institution
arising out of the death of President Will
liam @. Ralston hn did more than any other
man TO bring its affairs to a satisfactory
settlement.
Several years ago, Miss Sarah Althea Hill,
vino claimed to be the wife of Senator
Sharon, instituted slit against him for
divorce ard alimony. The case was tried
before Judge Sullivan, in San Francisco and
occupied the attention of the court for
about six months. Eminent counsel were
euBttSeu Oh polH stles, anu " VAST hlil. 'unt
OF testimony was elected, much OF which
was of disgusting character. The decision
was in favor of Miss Hill hut an appeal was
taken AMI afterwards Mr.. Sharon succeeded
in having the case transferred to the United
States court on the ground that he is u cit
izen of Nevada. The case is still pending.
In making his will last week MIR. Sharon
took occasion to reiterate in the most posi-
tive terms, what he had all along claimed,
thnt Miss Hill Was not his wife and that he
a letter which the plaintiff used with effect
before Judge Sullivan. 1t is said that Mr..
Sharon expended at least half million dol
lars in defending the suit, and he expressed
the determination to expendeyery cent he
possessed in litigation before he would pay
Miss Hill dollar.

Quarterly Meeting at Concord.

west GneSter hecoru.
Concord Quarterly Meeting met at Con-
cord Meeting House Tuesday week when
there was good attendance. 1t was de-
cided to hereafter hold the quarterly for
Second and Eleventh months at Media,
where the Friends have enlarged their
newly built house in order to accommo-
date the quarterly. The other meetings
In Fifth and Eighth months will be held
at Concord as usual. The change is made
on account of the severity of weather in
Second and Eleventh months which
makes it unpleasant for driving to Con-
cord Meeting and is also hard on tLe
horses for which there is not always suffi-
cient shedding. By having the meetings
at Media, however, the greater part of
the quarterly can travel to and fro by
rail and what do drive can find shelter for
their horses at the hotels. 1t was hoped
to have held last weeks quarterly at
Media but there was some fear felt lest
the new quarters would not be sufficiently
dry to make meeting in them judicious,
