PIrTsBURG, March 20.-A general
mass meeting of the Italian residents OF
this city was held in Turner Hall to-
night. The place holds 5000 people and
was crowded to the doors with what the

assemblage OF its size that ever gather
ed in this city.
Several representative merchants ad-
dressed the crowd in both their native
and the American tongue, and their re-
marks were even tempered, but severe
i'm their denunciaton of the so-called
hasty action Of the New Orleans people.
NJ. CuneO, a highly educated Italian,
and court interpreter, stated that they
had merely gathered to give expression
to their opinion OF the killing of their
cOuntrymcn, and that was all they could
do. He counSeled "quiet and an obServ-
ance OF the laws of their adopted coun-
try by all means, and at the close OF his
address the great crowd OF foreigners
filed silently toward their several settle
mentS In this city.
It is noted, however, that during the
meeting resolutions cOndcmning the
murder of our New Orleans brothers"
etc, and asking the United States gov
ernment, which they had sworn to sup
port, to punish "the perpetrators OF the
outrage" were carried with vehement
Sibilant "Si" that was unanimous.

A Schooner Sunk and u steamer Badly
DnlnaGed Nenr ship John Light.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ga disastrous col
lision occurred between two merchant
vessels, q steamer and schooner, in Della
ware bay last night. Fortunately no lives
were lost, but the schooner sunk and the
steamer was damaged considerably.
The schooner was the George w. Feni-
more, from Boston to this port, in ballast.
The steamer. the Dessong was from Phila-
delphia for Savannah, and carried gene
raj cargo The Dessong had started from
this port early in the day, and at o clock
i'll the evening was abreast the Ship John
light in the Delaware bay. The lookout
saw vessels light directly in front. He
Immediately hailed the unknown craft
and called all the steamers hands on deck.
Seeing that the two vessels wert approach
ing each other with great rapidity, every
effort was made to stop the steamer. Tho
engines were reversed, hut ii was seen that
unless both of the vessels turned from the
course collision was inevitable.
Captain Christy of the steamer accord
ingly ordered change of course, but it
happened that the Fenimore's officers had
given the same order, and both vessels
turned in the same direction, thereby pre-
cipitating the accident. Seeing that COLI
sion could not be avertcd. the captains Of
both ships ordered all hands to stand
ready to lower away the boats. The two
vessels came together with great force, and
large hole was stove in the schooner $
bow, through which the water rushed and
soon flooded her A hole was also stove in
the steamers bow but it was above the
water line, and consequently no water en-
tered. The crew of the Eenimore put out
into the river in their lifeboats and were
taken on board of the Dessong.

and all its interests and was ever ready to
work active and give.
He was liberal in his gifts to all the
benovolences Of the church and the poor
of our city and never forgot hiso open heart
and hand.
In a ripe age, after a useful and active
life and when he could no more work, he
was called to his reward and was found
ready; and We with host Of the unknown
and lowly, can say, blessed be his memory.

TO TEST THE GAME LAW.
A Suit That Interests sportsmen Through
out the State.

The case of Clifford News, who was
arrested and given q hearing before
Squire Monaghan yesterday week,
charged with violating the game laws CT
the State, has been continued until
Saturday, December 18th, in order to
permit the defendants counsel, Lilburn
Chandler, Esq, to secure a transcript Of
somewhat similar case tried in the
Sussex county courts last October. In
this case the defendant, Mr.. Richardson,
was charged with boxing quail and
sending them out of the State to be ex-
posed to sale contrary to the provisions
of an act of the General Assembly
passed at Dover in 1887, which stipu-
lated that no quail or partridge could be
exposed to sale or shipped from the
State without the owner of the quail
first having secured the necessary license
OF $40 which entitled him to purchase
or sell game for profit.
The defendant in this case, Mr.. Rich
ardson, was fined So for each and every
bird he had boxed and shipped to Phila-
delphia, and besides this the entire box
of quail was confiscated The defend
ant'slawycr took an appeal of his clients
case to the October term of the general
sessions court of Sussex county. The
result was that the defendant, when the
case came to trial, was promptly ac-
quilted, the court holding that more
recent game law passed at Dover in
April last abolished the act Of 1887 and
1889 by implication. The recent act
passed on April goth, 1891 is less severe
than the former net, and under its pro-
visions Mr.. Chandler claims that his
client cannot possibly be fined for cx-
posing to sale game killed upon
his own premises. The arrest OF
Mr.. News was caused by Bayard j.
Green, u detective for the Game Pro-
tcctive Association of the State. The
plaintiffs claim that the State has emil
nent domain over all animals (fern
nature) and that the defendant has no
right to kill and expose to sale quail,
partridge and other game included in
the act above mentioned without first
having taken out q license OF $50 before
the clerk of the peace. Mr.. Chandler
declares that he will fight the case to q
final determination and is positive that
the court will order the acquittal of his
client, as in the Richardson case in
| Sussex county,

TARREN CLUR.s SPORTS.
The w. A. C.'s Victories In the Prescnc
of an Immense Audience.


The Warren club indoor sports at the
Opera house We're largely attended Thurs
day night. 1t was another of those popular
oy;itions which seem to be the regular
accompaniment of any public exhibition
of this successful athletic organization.
The young manhood of Wilmington was
there in demonstrative exnberance, and
perhaps n little too much so for the un-
hndered enjoyment of the evening, Sec
retary Kurtz was driven to the necessity
two or three times of requesting absten-
tion from personal remarks.
The programme was a very interesting
one but the various events did not follow
one another with the celebrity that better
management might accomplish. The
evening dragged along too slowly. 1t was
near ll.30 O'Clock before the full pro-
grlmme was through with.

after two siA-minutes' bouts. There was
10 fall.
A Warren sparrer, Robert Mccullough
was awarded the prize in the three three
man A. @. $. n. Another pretty sparring
exhibition followed between Frank Bolen
and Thomas Howard both w. A. G. men
The 115-pound wrestling bout between
James Holt, 4. G. S. N. and Calvin
Mckaig W. A. e, came next. The Warren
representative was awarded the medal as
he made the more aggressive work. There
was no fall. A graceful exhibition in par
allel bar athletics was given by Emil
Kraemer and Emil Manner of the w. A. q.
The event of the evening was in the 125-
pound wrestling contest, when John Y.
Cooper, w. A. e., after close contest and
in 4 most mastery manner, placed the
shoulders Of his opponent, w. IT, Horton,
a. z. 5. n, squarcly on the floor. This
was accomplished in 3 minutes, 80 seconds.
Horton proved himself an excellent
wrestler, but the Warren man was his
superior. The applause at the moment of
victory fairly shook the Opera House build
ing
John Scully of the Wynnewood Ath-
letic Club of Philadelphia then tackled

The latter in Il strong aggressive battle with

An Elkton correspondent writes the Bal
timore Sun. The ffat-iron. the triangular
wedge better known as the Three Cor
ners,' the scene of many pugilistic battles
years ago, containing in al some 700 acres
Of land, embodying the boundary lines
between Delaware and Pennsylvania,
lying west OF and contiguous to the 12-
mile circle, and long a subject Of dispute
between these two commonwealths is now
claiming the attention of Cecil countians
since Amos G. Brinton, the local historian
of Delaware, has given his views on the
question. He holds that Pennsylvania
and Delaware's claims to the land
are, historically speaking, worthless, and
that it belongs to Maryland and is part OF
this county. The probabilities new are
that while only Delaware and Pennsylva-
mia have laid claim to the disputed terri
tory, Cecil countians, since Mr.. Brinton's
version of the matter, will ask for COM
mission to be appointed at the next
general assembly Of Maryland to act in
conjunction with similar commissions
from Pennsylvania and Delaware 10 mark

JAIL REFORM.
Sheriff Simmons Thinks an Addition to
the Jail Building is Imperative.

the Jail Building is Imperative.
Sheriff Simmons is very serious in his
assertions as to the need Of an annex to
the Jail. The additional building is
needed for the accommodation of pris-
oners. There are between 1l5 and 100
prisoners at present in New Castle Jail
sentenced and awaiting trial. These
are confined in 81 cells.
This is illegal in itself as fully score
of them are sentenced to solitary con
tinencnt, So that the orders of the
court arc impossible of being carried
out as conditions exist now.
At the recent visit Of the grand jury
while the individual members compile
mcntcd the sheriff on the cleanliness
and order Of the Jail several of them
remarked upon its crowded condition.
The Jail commissioners recognize the
evil Of the present state of things. The
Levy Court also at a recent visit were
impressed with the necessity of more
accommodation for the prisoners. The
additional remark, however, was made
that they did not see where the money
was to come from for the new building.
