Mr.. Ingalls, will remain in Topeka
tomorrow, returning to Atchison on an
evening train. He will return to this
city after the Legislature convenes, to
remain until after the Senatorial elec-

Snow HILL, MD., Dec. "a daring. but
unsuccessful attempt at robbery was made
ut the depot, which is also the Adams Elk
press office, in Snow Hill ,on Friday night.
The door of the building was entered by
boring out the lock, and the large safe
car was then pushed up the track about q
mile and the safe was dumped into ditch.
Tools used by workmen on the railroad
were taken and with these an attempt was
made to break open the safe The com
bination lock was smashed and the safe
was battered in several places, evidently
by sledge-hammer blows, but the parties
failed to reach the contents. Several SINH
lar entrances have been made ut the ex-
press office here recently, but in each case
the loss has been slight. While il would
appear that number arc concerned in the
matter, yet from the manner of operating
they are evidently inexperienced burglars.

In the church there are many who fail
to realize that they should be fitting them
selves nor world TO come and who are too
proud to acknowledge their shortcomings,
or despite the consciousness of their weak
nesses, lack epentance. He who is quick
to make repentance IL he that halls the
coming Of Christ. Many men use religion
as cloak, which they doff or don as the
OCCASION requires, for a mercenary gain.
Many mems idea of heaven is very vague,
some imagining it place of ease and idle
ness. IL they were conscious that 1t is
place of never-ending worship, where song
and prayer were never-ending, they would
recoil from such picture, even as they,
while here on earth, shrink from COM
munion with God.

NEw CASTLE PUEBLO BJ1LDIxGs.
Why sheriff simmons Cannot Use Part
of the Old Court House as n Hail.

of the Old Court House as a Jail.
Some time ago when complaints were
made in regard to the crowded condition
of the Jail at New Castle the question was
asked why the sheriff, who is custodian Of
the Jail and other county buildings at the
county town, did not convert the court
house into an annex TO the Jail, or at least
use some part of it for what was needed in
relieving the pressure for accommodation
for prisoners. 1t was suggested that q sec
ton of the large congeries of buildings
might be used as prison for tramps or
transient conviets.
All these statements were made on the
supposition that the mass of buildings in
GLIDING the court house is county property
and that the Levy Cont of New Castle
county could by u simple nod Of the head
order the eviction of the present tenants,
the municipal officials of the town of New
Castle and the other various tenants. In
deed some people have even now gone 50
far as to assert that the city of New Castle.
and the other tenants owe a long arrear of
rent to the county for the use Of the build
ing for the many years since the county
court left that place and became domesti-
Gated in Wilmington. Il is claimed that
the county treasurers books should be ex-
amined and the facts be ascertained
whether any rent has been paid to the
county by the tenants of the old court
house building. At one time the New
Castle Star was printed and published
there.
The facts, according to the most recent
explanation. are that the county has no
rights in the matter. In the colonial era
William Penn granted to the municipality
of New Castle certain land in the centre Of
the city to be devoted to town purposes.
New Castle becoming the county seat of
New Castle and the necessity of erecting
court house becoming obvious, the alder
men or burghers granted to the county the
right to build and occupy structures for
that purpose on the present site. But there
was a certain proviso written in to the
deed which was that as soon as the build
ings were not used for the understood pur-
pose the structures and land shall revert to
the town of New Castle.
And so, it is understood, the matter now
stands
When the county court was removed to
Wilmington to occupy the new building
here the old structure reverted by deed
into the hands of the New Castle munich
pality where now vests. The Levy Court
would, therefore, have no rights to exer-
else in the matter and the sheril II could not
occupy any part of the old building other
wise than US tenant.
The county has the right to the Jail as
long as it is kept there, but should at once
move out to another place the property
would Immediately revert to the city of
New Castle and the property could not be
used again by the county except as a ten
ant, paying rent to New Castle town there
for.

Gus Farmer Sustnlns Heavy Less
Special correspondence of Gazette and journal
FELTON,, Dec. 2l.-The fine barn on
Alvin b. Connor's farm, just south of
here. was destroyed by fire yesterday
morning, together with everything it con
tanned except the stock and one farm
wagon. The farm is in the tenure of
James Morris, and nearly everything that
gentleman and his industrious family
have to show for probably onc-half Of a
life,time's toll is large pile of
smouldering ashes. All his grain,
proyender, farm machinery, riding
vehicles, harness. &C., were destroyed BY
the flames and it was with very great
difficulty that he was. even able to save
his horses. James T. Farrell & son,
produce dealers of Masdcn's Corner, had
from $500 to 800 worth of dressed turkeys
and other poultry in the barn, ready for
the market to-day, which was also con-
sumed. There was no insurance on any
thing. except $500 on the building in the
Queen Company, which will not nearly
cover the loss of the building. The origin
of the fire is Il mystery.
