wavne County Bonds.

Several years sgO Wayne county con-
tracted debt of several thousand dollars,
which amount was used in constructing
roads and bridges, and bonds were Issued
and taken by the Society of Savings, of
Cleveland, O., in good faith, believing that
the county would stand to her contract
and promptly pay off the bonds when due.
These bonds draw 6 per cent. interest and a
part of them will shortly be due, with
no provision made for their pay
ment. A question has arisen as to
the legality of the bonds, and in
order to have no trouble over the matter
the purchasers offer to surrender the old
bonds, if the county will issue new Ones
extend the time of payment thirty. -four
years and charge only five per cent. The
County Court believing this to be a fair
proposition, and an easy and jus. way to
liquidste an honest debt, has ordered a
special election to be held at the several
voting places in the county on the 18th
day of next October TO take tine sense of
the voters as to the propriety of issuing
said bonds.

WhIieoap ImItators.

On Tuesday night three men called at
the house of Amelias Fergey, in Bradrick,
Cabell county, and calling him out told
him that his mother was dying. He has
tened to his fathers house, but found the
report untrue. Daring his absence from
home his wife was left alone in the house,
to which the three men tried to force an
entrance, but for what purpose it is not
definitely known, though it is supposed
they intended to iDflict some kind OF pun
ishment on her, as it is said she scttd 80
indiscretly as to cause some people Of that
village to suspicion her chastity. The
parties failed to get in, however, and
when Mr.. Forgey returned they attacked
him, and in the fight that
followed he received a shot in the thumb
of the right hand, which came near cutting
it off. He was roughly handled other
wise. The three men who made the as
sault wore black masks, but Mr.. Forgey
claims to have recognized them neverthe-
less. II is said that small sack of feathers
were left in the yard by them, which fur
nished o clue to their intentions on the OBJ

THE NEW OFFICERS.
THEIR NAMES ARR TO BIB PRESENTED TO
THB POLICE COMMITTEE,
At The Session to Be Held This Eysning-Capt DEL
bugge to Thoroughly Rsorganizs the Force
New Equipments Needed

With two exceptions, Chief Dslbrugge
has determined upon the new police
officers, to go to make up the increase in
the force authorized by Council, and the
entire number will be sent in to the Coun-
ell Committee on Police, which has been
called to meet at the City Hall this eve
ming.
OF the eight men authorized Chief Del
brugge had determined upon six last eve
ning, aud will settle as to the other two
to-day. The lucky individuals are as
follows:
First ward, Walter Ter1in; Second
ward, Jacob Watson; Fourth ward, Leon
Bach; Fifth ward, John Donley; Sixth
ward, Nicholas Herbert; Eighth ward,
Charles Landkrohn; new extra man,
George Hazlett. In the Third and Seventh
wards the chief has found it pretty hard
to choose between the applications pre-
scented to him. All the new men are good
citizens, and will help to make up a fine
force when once all get down to work.
A. the City Hall, last evening, Chief
Delbrugge said;
II am very anxious to get the force in
the best possible shape, and to this end, !
will ask the Police Committee, tomorrow
night, for new equipments. An order
will have to be sent in for the equipment

two are alike. Often, when a man needs
a pistol, j. won't 70 off.

has been too much of q disposition 10 ig-
more this in times past. and only by strict

1t is understood that one Of the old force
will be detailed for special duty, after the
eight new men are sworn in, and will be
attached to headquarters, ready for an
emergency at any time.

Yesterday morning about 5 o'clock q
party Of three men went on a maraudiug
expedition through some Of the residences
in the vicinity of the base ball grounds.
They captured all the eatables they could
lay their hands on and in several instances
they stole hammccks. One oolored wO-
man, Mrs. Taylor, who had laid up her
Sunday store after working bard all week

The gang then went down through

to all the corn, potatoes and other
vegetables they could carry to a
skif which was moOred in the back river,
Mr.. Smith saw them about 5:39, and they
informed him that they were going out on
the back river to fish. As many fishermen

mere of until he found later that they
hsd played havoc in his garden by des-
troying things 10 a reckless manner. The
parties got off with a skiff load Of pro-
visions that would last big family a
week or so.
It seems that they came from BenwoOd
in a boathouse which was mOored at
W Risky rub, and Officer Lukens and Mar
shal John Stuff, of Bridgeport, went down
to the bOathOuse between IL and II o'clock
yesterday morning and captured Frank
McAdams and chap named
Chrislip aud placed them in the Bridge
port lookup, as they refused TO come to
this side. Catsy McAdams, a brother Of
Franks, escaped through a window Of
the boat house when the officers ap-
preached, but they do not think ne had
ANYTHING to do " 18th the robberies.
Tire stuff wss found in the boat house,
and some of it was taken to the Island
where it was identified The third party
was unknown. but the officers bave clue,
and no doubt be will be captured.
There is but one police officer on the a.
land after II O'Clock at night, and he can
not do much in the way of patrOlling his
