End of the Assault Case in the United
States District Court.

The case of Captain Frank H.
Walker of the steamer Ella Grimm,
charged with assaulting his engineer,
Joseph A. Moore, went to the jury at
last Thursdays session of the United
States District Court.
After short deliberation the jury re-
turned to the court room, and the fore
man, Owen ]. Hession, asked the court
if they could render verdict of assault
only, instead of one of "guilty in man.
ner and form as indicted" The indict-
ment followed the language of the
statute, which alludes to the offence as
the "brusing, beating or maltreating'
by superior officer, "with malice and
without justification. The court told
the jury the verdict would have to be
guilty as indicted or not guilty.
The jury then retired and in few
minutes returned with verdict Of
guilty, coupled with recommendation
to the mercy of the court. Judge
Wales, In view of proof of the preyiou:
good character of the accused, and the
lack of malice in the assault, imposed 9
sentence of $5 fine and costs. The
maximum penalty is $1,000 fine and
five years imprisonment.
Court then adjourned until October

SENATOR aRAY,s RETURN
Back in Wilmington After a Pleasant
Two Months Trip Abroad.

Hon. and Mrs. George Gray, accom-
panied by the senator's private secre-
tary, Charles w. McFee, Esq, returned
from their European trip last Wednes-
day. They reached home at midnight.
To representative of THE GAZETTE
Mr.. Gray gave Thursday morning an in
teresting account of the trio's outward
and return voyages and their travels on
the continent.
They started on their journey on
July 1st, sailing by the steamer Ohio.
During the entire outward voyage there
were gentle breezes and the trip was
beautiful. Liverpool was reached at
night on July 18th and on the day fol-
lowing the party journeyed to Scotland.
They went direct to the Highlands and
crossing the Trosachs proceeded to
Edinboro. Next they went to the Eng
lish lakes and thence to London, where
they remained two days. From the
latter they went to Paris and thence to
Switzerland. On their return tour they
caught glimpse of Ireland. In London
they met General and Mrs. Wilson and
during their travels passed some time
with Miss Gray and her cousins and
aunt, the latter Mrs. DIR. Black of New
Castle.
Senator Gray and his party returned
by the steamer City of Paris, which
carried 500 first cabin passengers, among
whom was Father Flynn. The triI
was made in six days and was very
rough. On Monday evening, when the
vessel was approaching the Newfound-
land coast, a terrific cyclone was en-
countered. 1t appeared at midnight
and continued nearly five hours, during
which the steamers deck was swept by
a heavy sea and many of the passenger:
were almost terror-stricken. Despite
the rough voyage none of the senator's
party was troubled with seasickness and
all had excellent appetites.
"We had a delightful trip" said Mr.
Gray on Thursday; 1--WE had no mis-
haps and no drawbacks except little
bad weather. But the pleasantest par
of it was the getting back"
Miss Gray and her cousins have beer
studying In France and Germany and
accompanied by Mrs. Black, will return
about Christmas or New Years.

city of Chester in Collision.

While the Reading ferry boat America
was approaching South street wharf Phila-
delphia, on a trip from Camden, Friday
afternoon, she was struck by the steamer
City of Chester which was coming to this
city. The ferry boat had large hole
broken in her paddle box. and her wheel
was damaged to such an extent that she
will have to obtain new one. The City
of Chester had the railing around her bow
torn away, and she sustained considerable
other damage above her water line. The
latter continued on her trip, however, and
is now running. Repairing her will not
interfere with her trips, and the repairs
will be completed soon. Both boats con-
tanned many passengers. Much excitement
prevailed, but nobody was hurt. On in
quiry at the local Office of Wilmington
Steamboat Company it was ascertained
that the collision was caused by Gross
whistle" The City of Chester blew fol
the ferry boat to pass on certain side,
and the ferry boat signaled the City of
Chester to take the same course.

ABDUCTED BY DETECTIVES
A Young Millionaire Carried
Away.
HIS ATTORNEY ALSO DISAPPEARS
Trying to Get a Clue of Abb
sconder Albertson.


SEATTLE, WASH, Sept 1I.-This city
by the kidnapping Of William II. Bailey
the young millionaire and r. r. Albert
son, his attorney yesterday afternoon by
detective.
Bailey is young man whose father
is millionaire. AT Harrisburg, Pa,
young Bailey Is owner of the Harris
burg block here, president and director
of several banks. He is also proprietor
of the Times.
Albertson is second cousin of Albert
son, the absconding cashier of the FL
delity Trust Company, Tacoma, and it
Is supposee the detectives abducted him
I in order TO get some information about
the absconder.
Detectives enticed the two men in a
closed carriage and it is supposed held a
revolver at their heads until they were
out Of the city. When the cab was two
miles out of town Bailey and Albertson
were calling for help but the detectives
threatened to shoot several men who at
tempted to arrest them.
Rumor has been circulated that Bailey
Is suspected Of having securities stolen
from the bank in his possession. The
detectives drove to. Black River juno
tion with the intention Of taking a train
for Tacoma, and were captured there
last evening on the arrival of the train
at II o'clock. The capture was made
by the chief of police of Seattle and a
posse, and the whole party returned
here shortly after midnight.
Sullivan had Pierce county warrant
for the arrest of Albertson, charging
him with having some knowledge of his
cousins whereabouts. The warrant,
however, was not Endorsed by King
county officials,
Sullivan and his men caught Albert
son and Bailey as they were going home
TO dinner and one of the detectives told
Albertson that he had warrant for his
arrest. Albertson demanded to see the
warrant A deputy detective said, gel
in the hack and we will drive to your
office.
Bailey and Albertson both got in and
at once the doors were closed and the
two armed detectives held their prisoners
while the hack was driven rapidly out
of the city.
The prisoners were unable to attract
any attention until they were some dis
tanee In the country. They finally
forced the door open and passers-by at
tempted to rescue them.
Bailey and Albertson say that Sulli
van, who was outside with the driver
drew revolver and made the rescuer
turn back. The party drove to Blacl
River junction, where the driver re
belled. Sullivan then got out of tn,
hack with the prisoners to wait for th'
train from Seattle.
The train was two hours late ant
when it arrived the chief of police ant
q posse arrested Sullivan and the tw,
deputies, who were brought there ant
placed in Jail.
Bailey was not wanted by the detec
tives but was taken because he was il
company with Albertson.
