Wheat and Oats Yielding Poorly
Register Polk Hea2pOiuted.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and journal
GEORGETOWN, July 26.-The wheat and
oat crop have been saved and this weeL
will be devoted to threshing. So far the
yield is much below expectation. A
small crop Of grain but plenty of straw Is
the universal report. One mans pros
pects fell from 500 to LOG bushels. Fol-
two months it has rained almost daily
until the corn crop is but little more
promising.
William Polk was this morning recon.
missioned by Governor Stockley Register
OF Wills in and for Sussex county. Five
years ago he was appointed by Governor
Hall. He has made model register. Two
months ago a reappointment was scarcely
thought Of but his general courtesy and
civility of manner and universal kindness
to all brought letters from those who
never recommended any one before. Per.
haps the whisperings into the executives
cor and the letters from executors and
administrators as TO the charges of this
official, said to have been the most reason.
able charges by any official for many years
had their effect. Mr.. Delaney, of Seaford
it is said could have made q successful
application had he been earlier in the
field.

The police department received tele.
gram at noon Monday from William A
Phillips, superintendent of police Of
buffalo, N. Y, inquiring whether Bayard
Q. SaVille was wanted here for forgery
An answer was sent back requesting
Superintendent Phillips to hold Saville
1t will be remembered that in the latter
part Of June SaVille called upon Capt.
James Lawless, Of Bristol, X. l., who
was n friend of his father, and presented
him with letter which purported TO be
from his father in this city and stated
that tho young man was about
to sail for Europe. He was we'll
received and before leaving Cap
tain Iawless' house he succeeded in
getting the captain to introduce him at
the National Bank of Bristol and vouch
for him. He then had draft cashed for
$3.50. The draft was on Alexander SaVille
md was marked as certified by the Gem
trail National Bank of this city.
Communication with the Central Bank
developed the fact that the draft was n
forgery and that the bank did not certify
checks. Cashier Peoples, in response to
a telegram from Captain Lawless, advised
him to have SaVille arrested. The draft
was sent to the Union Bank of this city
for collection, but was not accepted at
the Central. Captain Lawless then visited
this city, only to find that he had been
defrauded out of $3.50 by Sayille. Alex
ander SaVllle of this city refused to re-
,tnburse the chi tain, as the draft was
ghully unauthorized.
Mayor Rhoads immediately telegraphed
70 Captain Lawless at Bristol in order TO
ascertain what he desired done in the
matter, as he is the man who was swindled
by the forgery. SaVille disappeared and
was not again heard of until gobbled at
Buffalo as above stated

fora number OF years designing numerous
fine houses and experimenting their con.
struction. After going to Baltimore they
drew the plans for Grace M. Il. Church
the Grand Opera House and other large
buildings.
About 80 years ago, the deceased went
to Baltimore and continued the business.
He formed later copartnership with Mr..
Charles l.. Carson, under the firm name
of Dixon IL Carson, and carried on the

structed under the supervision of the firm

SALISBURY, Nd, July pa short time
ago the governor, on the part of petitions
sent him, appointed George W. Wingate
justice of the peace in Tyaskin district in
the place of Justice X j. Darby, who held
the position. Both parties friends fought
hard for their respective candidates, but
Wingate, having John Willing on his
side, was successful in getting the appoint.
ment. A few weeks ago Wingate tried
case, and rendered his decision in accord
ance with the testimony. Last week he
and Darby met at n vendue, and Darby
said in Wingate's presence that he had
not decided the case fairly. One word
brought on another. Each Justice
heaped the vilest imprecationa upon
the other. At last Wingate shook
his fist in Darby's face and called him n
liar. Darby swore out writ of assault
against him, and to-day the case was tried
in the courthouse. Justice Truitt fined
Wingate so cents and costs, aud Wingate
took an appeal to the circuit court. The
case has caused great excitement in Tyas-
kin, and the friends of Darby are in the
hope that Wingate will be forced to resign.

A Western Farmer Tries 20 XIII His
wife and Then Shoots Himself.

Associafed Press Dispatch Special BY Wtres.
CHIcAGo, July ga special from
Lawrence, Kansas. says: News has reached
this city that John Pierson, wealthy
Swedish farmer, living about 10 miles in
the country, yesterday shot his wife and
then himself. The couple had quarreled
continually for several years past, and
about month ago parted. Monday the
son and mother drove TO the old home
stead and had q conference with the hus-
band and father, at which il was agreed
that they should come yesterday and re-
ceive portions OF the household furniture
and farm conveyanees while the son and
hired man were carrying bureau out
of the house, with the mother following
close behind with looking glass, the
father, about 10 feet in therear with a re-
volver, fired ut her, the ball striking Just
back of the ear and following the Uranium
under the skin TO Just over the temple,
where it lodged. The son, turning, caught
her before she fell. The hired man rushed
into the house Just as the husband, braoing
himself against the wall in corner, opened
his mouth and placing the nuzzle of the
smoking revolver therein, pulled the
trigger. The ball passed upward through
the brain and he died without n
groan. The mother was uncon-
scious for several hours, but will be
all right in n few days Papers
in the Swedish language were
found in his pockets making known his
wish as to the disposal of his property
leaving II for the greater part TO his son.
As the cause for the action he said: "1he
bad temper of my wife makes living
together impossible and has driven ne
crazy" This was the only reference 10
the cause of the shooting.
