ASSAULTED WITH 4 CLUE.
Conflicting Stories ms to How Thomas
Kane Received His Iniurias.

Thomas Kane, an employe of the
johnson Forge Company, was brought
into the police station by Officer Aiken
Monday evening with an ugly cash three
inches long on top of his head which
laid the scalp open to the skull and
caused blood to ooze from the wound
until It covered the victims head and
shoulders. DR.. 9. q. Baird was sum
moned to dress the mans injuries. Five
long stitches were required in sewing
up the wound, which was pronounced
not necessarily serious.
When asked to explain his injuries
Kane stated that he went to the house
OF Joseph Schilling, 213 Clavmont
street, in South Wilmington, to see
fellow workman named Fetus Comfy.
While waiting to see Comfy, he declared
that Joseph Schilling, the owner of the
house, deliberately approached him and
dealt him terrific blow on the head
with club.
Officer Aiken, whom Kane asked to
arrest Schilling, tells different story
from this, however. He says that when
Schilling returned from work he found
Kane in the house under the influence
OF liquor, when Schilling made the as
sault upon Kane. The officer states
that Kane desired to arrest Schilling
after the assault, but the officer did not
deem it necessary to take Schilling into

Done to Property.

Severe Gales and Heavy Floods--vesseIs
Afraid TO Put to Sea--Great Damage
Done to Property.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
LONDON, Oct. 14.-The furious gale
which has been raging all over Eng
land, Ireland and the south of Scotland
for over Ia hours,and which has already
caused vast amount of damage about
the seaside towns and which has wrecked
a large number of vessels, continues to-
day in all its intensity.
In the cities and large towns, proud of
the possession of one or more parks, q
great amount of damage has been done.
Trees have been blown down or mutt
lated on all sides in these peoples
pleasure grounds, plants and shrubs
have been scattered literally to the
winds, and flower beds have been
crushed nearly out Of existence by the
fury of the storm. Chimneys and tiles
were carried everywhere from the roofs
of private dwellings, outhouses of wood
crashed down as if built of cards, pc.
destrianism during the heighth of the
storm was utterly impossible, and the
traffic by railroad or water was almost
brought to n complete stand still.
AT Folkstone one of the great landing
places for the transchannel steamers,
throughout the night the sea swept the
great pier with immense waves, carry
ing away all the lighter portions of the
structure and threatening to wash away
its most powerful supports. The light
house at its extremity was deluged by
the angry waters, and it was even feared
that it might be swept from its founda-
ton.
The channel passenger boats were
unable to cross last night and to those
who know the weather these vessels
ventured out in, this gives some idea Of
the severity Of the storm which pre-
vailed. To-day the storm is raging very
heavy and is still doing much damage.
At Helnsburg, watering place near
Dunharson, Scotland, the fishing and
other boats which had been drawn upon
the beach at the first approach of the
gale were carried along by the furious
waves, which poured into the streets,
flooding the houses, driving the in
mates from their homes; many escaping
through the windows-so little warning
was given of the inundation.

STOCKTON, CAL, Oct. 13.-To-day
was not favorable for record breaking,
as strong west wind blew in the face
of the horses on the second half of the
new kite-shaped track. II was conceded
by horsemen that the day was two and
half seconds slow. Experts predicted
that Sunol, who was to trot against the
record of 2.0Sa held by Maud S. could
not do better than equal her own record
OF 2.10i in face Of such wind. The at
tendance was very large.
After scoring twice, Marvin nodded
for the word, and Sunol went OF, talk
ing the middle Of the track. She trotted
to the quarter in 313 seconds, to the
half in l.02t, and to the three-quarter
In 1.34t From there the runner came
home with her, and she made grand
finish in the face of the strong wind in
2.10 fiat, lowering her record ! second.
Horsemen present said ii was the great
est mile ever trotted under the circum-
stances.
Senator Stanford's stallion Palo Alto
trotted mile against his own record of
2.124, hut failed TO equal it, owing to the
strong wind. He made the mile in 2. l24.
The quarters were made in 1871, 1.04,
1873, 2.i2g.

Spruance and Attorney-general Bipes
were suggested as the lawyers to fight
the case. Levy Court followed tho sug-
gestion and counsel was requested
through the Levy Court attorney to
proceed with the dase.
Mr.. Bradford's position was delicate
one. He could not, being the court
attorney and having already given a
contra opinion, take up the case of the
court which in reality was to obtain a
decision the reverse Of that he had ex-
pressed.
Mr.. Spruance, who, meanwhile, was
credited at the time with holding
opinions similar to those of Mr.. Brad.
ford could gracefully, and did step into
the latters shoes and contested that the
Dougherty position was in conformity
with the new act. The attorney general
thought that pre-existing enactments
held all the collectors in their full in
debtedness to the county.
Counsel agreed upon stated case
and it went from tho superior court to
the court OF appeals. The chancellor
quickly decided that the Five Commits.
sioners' bill did not abolish the tax
collectors office.
1t was for this contest before the
chancellor that the large bills were sent
IN against the county and ordered paid
yesterday afternoon.
Other bills passed: Thomas Pagan,
$4,000; Thomas r Hopkins, So 90.
Inc following resolution was passed.
WHEREAS, 1t appears from the records
OF the county treasurer that the award
made to George Q. Rothwell and Benjamin
+. 9. Rothwell for damages. resulting
from the opening of road in Blackbird
hundred, that the full amount of the
award, S5l0.13 have been credited to the
same, b. II. G. Rothwell on account Of his
Indebtedness to the county as collector of
taxes. Therefore, be it
hesolUed, That the claim now before the
court, presented by James L. Devon.

hereby dismissed.
1t was arranged that the assessors be
present at the next meeting of the Levy
Court, on November Sd.

JOHN SMITHS ARM cut OFF

Know His Loss.
John Smith of Silverbrook, an en-
ploye of the Brandywine Granite Com
pany, had his left arm snatched off by a
B. & o. railroad fast train as he was
walking homewards along the track
early on Sunday morning. Smith had
been drinking. He wandered along for
two or three hours perfectly uncon-
scious of his having been MANNED or
hurt In any way. The alcoholic stupor
he was in coupled with the fact OF the
extreme cold weather causing coagu-
lation of the blood at the wound,
effected, it is surmised, the most perfect
an@sthetic and prevented the man from
bleeding to death.
He wandered into the watch box at
the Pennsylvania Avenue crossing of
the b. d. o. railroad. There he fell
asleep without giving the watchman
Joseph Merkle any intimation that he
was suffering pain. DIR. John Palmer,
Jr., was Immediately summoned and
Smith was sent to the Delaware Hospi-
tai where his injuries were ATTENDED 10.
The missing arm was found along the
railroad, at Seventh street. The arm
was cut off few inches below the
shoulder. In addition Smith had
several front teeth knocked out and
his upper jaw was fractured.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-A special from
Minneapolis. Mimi, regarding the re-
ported damage to the wheat crop says:
The suspense over wheat crop of North
Dakota and the northeastern counties of
Minnesota has grown into positive alarm.
Up to yesterday it was generally hoped
the grain could be thrashed during
Monday night. Heavy rains, however,
set all over the north counties which
changed to snow yesterday morning and
kept falling all day. The storm extends
as far south as Minneapolis and all
thrashing operations are suspended and
will not be resumed before next week
even if there is no more rain or snow.
Mill and elevator men declare that
from 100000 to 100000 bushels of
wheat will be ruined. b. p. Walker said
yesterday; 81 have just returned from
trip through the section. 1t made my
heart ache TO witness the ruin In order
to appreciate it one must actually see it.
There are thousands of simply wonder
full wheat fields almost utterly de-
stroyed by the rains. The report pub

BLAINE GOING BACK,
Expected to Resume His Official Duties
by Noyember.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-If the state
ment of James G. Blaine's most init
mate personal and political friends is to
be taken as authentic, the secretary will
be in Washington and on duty at the
state department not later than
October Goth. ]. H. Marley, the post
master at Augusta, Is in town to-day on
business with the post-ofiice department,
and every man who met him on the
street or elsewhere stopped him with an
inquiry about Mr.. Blaine's health and
political intentions.
Mr.. Marley talks with apparent free
dom, but refused TO say anything be-
yond what is stated above. Whether
Blaine is in robust health, OF whether
he is to be Presidential candidate, Mr..
Manley does not say, but those Of the
Blaine men who have talked with him
seem willing TO create the impression,
whether right or wrong, that Mr.. Blaine
has almost entirely recovered his health,
and that his physical condition is not
such as to have any weight in de-
termining his political future. At any
rate, he means to take hold of the state
department work with enthusiasm in
less than 10 days.
