They Expected 20 Take Home AlIeThe
Prizes For Size aud Appearance.
The firemen and citizens Of Chester
who were here on Wednesday during the
great parade are kicking with great
Vehemence because they did not take
awsy some Of the many handsome
prizes
Everyone thought sure the Nova
mensing with Its 200 odd men, stalwart
and fine looking, would receive hatter-
ing notice, from the WILMINGTON papers, "
said one fireman. and JEFF Chalfant with
his 2S7 pounds Of solid FISH was expected
TO win the fat mans prize, but the pa.
pers were silent and Wilmington itself
gobbied up the prizes, except what went
TO Reading. etc There is a good deal Of
kicking on account of IL. Il is against
precedence and courtesy for home com
panles to compete.
The criticism on the Moyamensing' 5
appearance In the parade brought out in
dignant protests from President Bagshaw
and Councilman Peck.
They made good appearances /" said
Mr. Bagshaw. II understand that IL was
said that we only had eighty three men
In line. That Is ridiculous as there were
forty.three men in the pioneer corps
alone, and forty men could not hold up
the rope. Then there's the Weccacoe.
they had 40 men and the Franklin GIG
they ought to have received prizes"
The Moya might have got prize for
the greatest number of men In line. said
another fireman, cont prize was given
for the regulation uniform and Moya's

They Leave League island on Furiough.
Their Great Exposure.

AhGAE EEGAt "a hRHAAos
The officers and crew of the United
States steamer Dispatch wrecked on
Assateague Island last Saturday morn
ing. and who arrived at League Island,
Philadelphia. on Thursday night, left
there to- day. after receiving months
pay and a leave Of abseLce for two
weeks At the expiration of their fur.
Tough the men will report to any receiv-
ing ship they may elect Five who sut.
fered from rheumatism, due to exposure,
were sent to the Naval Hospital IN Phils-
delphia.
The wreck of the Dispatch is attributed
to the removal of the lightship at Winter
Quarter shoal. two days before the Dis
patch sailed from New York The Off
GERS Of the steamer received no notice of
tn removal. and IL is supposed that they
mistook the light in the lighthouse on
Assstesgue Island for that of the light
ship. The light on the latter should
have been a red one, while the one In the
lighthouse is white. In the early morn
ing, however, it was so hazy THAT the
light ON Assateague Island had the ap-
pearance of being red.
The officers and men on board the Dis
patch lost everything but the clothes on
their backs "Ducksy, beagle hound
that belonged to Secretary Tracy, and a
cat were saved.
The officers and men worked hard for
eight hours to save the Dispatch, but
their efforts proved unavailing The sand
blew so hard In the mems faces after
they left the vessel. that they were com
PEELED to cover their faces with bunting
in order to prevent them from being cut

gave the following version of the affair
The facts in the case are these:
left this city yesterday morning A.
o'clock Mr. Dickey had not
reached the Office at that time
took all the receipts that were left
over from the September session. There
were eleven of them. These receipts
met all demands with four exceptions.

to me, | filled in the receipts In their
presence, and brought them to Whining
ton when came up last evening. As
soon as I arrived here Mr. Diekey
signed them and they were
mailed to the respective tax payers last
evening. One other man called and
wanted to pay his tax he was Demo
crat. I exclaimed the situation to him.
He cheerfully agreed to wait until Mon
day. Every man, white or black,
who cana to the Office and was duly
qualified. paid his money and has re-
ceived his receipt There was only one
assessed colored man who applied His
receipt was sent to him last night with
the others was in the office from

came was promptly attended to. The
Morning News even goes 50 far as to say
that all persons who applied were turned

There are some who insist that the

who are responsible say that his house
was visited by burglars some time ago.
One waited outside while the other went
in to do the work. Presently the active
operator appeared with such an air of
detection that the other was moved to
inquire: What is the matter. Bill?
