An Irish play that is new to this city is
Manager Holmes attraction for this
week. It's called "The Dear Irish Boy"
While the story it tells is conventional,
it is interesting for its rapid action, stage
setting, sharp repartee, wit, coloring and
the dancing and singing that are insep-
cradle in plays of its kind. There is the
usual heroine in peck of trouble, the
hackneyed william and his rascally tool
who hold a power over her that is even
tually overthrown by the intervention
of relatives, her lover and the bold lad
dies and pretty colleens who give warrant
of making her future life peaceful one
Gus Reynolds makes the part of an old
rascal the central one of the play. He
gives an excellent characterization of a
scheming crafty and willy william in vi.
rile and vividly colored style, which is
only overdrawn when he becomes theat.
ric for effect. Geo. Timmons and Blan.
che Sherwood sing well and dance with
vigor especially the first named who is
the possessor of a sweet tenor voice
May Leyton, Harry English, Walter
McBrayne, Henry Grafton and Thomas
Smith preform their duties satisfactorily.
The scenery, of which there is sufficient
variety, is pretty and picturesque

An accident ocurred at No 4 Upper Le-
high yesterday, by which a Hungarian
named Andrew Kremeik, is likely to
lose his life. On the plain, about thirty
feet from the ground, the tracks of the
"Katy did" slope connect with the tracks
of the main slope. A bridge, that is
hoisted and lowered with a crane on the
ground, is used so that coal may be hois-

BUNC0ED OUT OF $500.
Carlton Kimbie Gives Up Big Pile on a
Old Trick,

ELKToN, Oct. 23.-Word was sent here
this afternoon by telephone from Rising
Sun to Sheriff J. A. Boyd to arrest two
men driving roam horse to top buggy
with a red blanket in it. They are wanted
for swindling well-known and wealthy
farmer living near Rising Sun, named
Carlton kimble, out of from $500 to
$1,000. Mr.. Kimble does not describe ex-
actly how they accomplished their pur-
pose, but it is understood that one Of them
drove up to his residence, and after look
ing over his farm, which is a large one of
about 200 acres, expressed desire to pur-
chase it,
While they were discussing the terms,
&c, the second man appeared upon the
scene, and it is said the one who wished to
purchase the farm found he had not
enough money with him to pay for ut
then, and proposed that each put up foh
felt, which the other swindler was to take
charge of and place in the bank until the
sale WINS made. This was DONE and after d
few more words the forfeit holder departed
for the purpose of making the deposit
before the bank closed. After thinking it
over awhile, kimble decided to go to the
bank and see that the money had been
safely deposited. Upon reaching there he
found that nothing of the kind had been
done, and knew at once that he had been
duped. Sheriff Boyd telegraphed the de-
scription to several of the neighboring
cities and towns, and also sent his deputy,
Harvey Mackey. up in the neighborhood
to look out for the swindlers, but up to this
hour no trace of them has been found.

A PRISONER CLUBs AN OFFICER.
A Terrific Struggle, In Which Oficcr
Brown sustains a Battered Head.

Police Officer Thomas Brown had
thrilling experience with a gang OF
roughs at Fourth and Adams streets
Thursday night. Brown was patroiling
his beat in the first police precinct and at
Fourth and Adams streets he saw
Frances Gibson standing in front of

federates. The officer had In his pockets
a warrant for Gibson's arrest upon the
charge of disorderly conduct and smash
ing glass in window. When Brown
placed Gibson under arrest his compan-
ions interposed and Brown and his
prisoner fell to the ground. In the
scuffle which followed Gibson secured
the officers club and dealt him fierce
blow over the head causing the blood to
flow freely. Gibson's companions were
about to rescue him when some one
yelled that the patrol was coming and
all except Gibson, whom Officer Brown
had pinned to the ground, escaped.
Brown brought his prisoner to the
police station and lodged him in Jail.
Police Surgeon Baird was summoned
Immediately to dress the officers
wounds, which were not serious. His
head was ore mass of gore and his
clothing were saturated with blood.
AT the municipal court ON Saturday,

DEPUTY FINCK'S COLLECTIONS.

He Denies Having Refused to Receive
Taxes : What Happened at Delaware
City.
In regard to the charge made that
Deputy County Tax-collector George Finck
refused taxes at Delaware City, Mr.. Finck
says. .Fll give $40 for every man that 1t
can be proved refused his taxes" County
Collector John 7. Dickey said Friday morn
ing, And I'll back him up with 500 per
man.
The facts in regard to the Delaware City
collection are as follows Twenty-one re-
ceipts were given ont for taxes by Mr..
Finck on the occasion in question. In
addition the taxes in 10 or IL more were
received, the receipts made out in the pres
ence Of the taxpayers. were brought back
to Wilmington, were signed and sent back
the same evening by mail to Delaware
City to the taxpayers. Mr.. Finck states
that he did not refuse anyone's taxes.
County Collector Dickey claims the right
for himself or his deputy to question and
identify, especially in the cases of crowds
Of negroes calling, as alleged, to pay taxes
under the lead and special instructions of
a single white man, He asserts that sils-
picion is rightfnlly aroused. In many
instances the negroes can give no residence.
Many names are on the lists that have left
the hundred long ago. And the list con-
tains numbers OF dead men. Those who
personatc these are known, and they will
not get receipts. AT Marshallton the other
day a farmer brought along a gang Of 20
Of these suspects. The men had to be in
straeted in their answers right in the face
of the deputy collector. 1t was only too
apparent that what was needed were the
receipts; that the men were not residents,
for they did not know who their neighbors
were.
ut is altogether different with white
men," Mr.. Dickey explained, "They are
easily identified and there is no trouble
nor danger CT one man getting the receipt
belonging to another. Nor is there any
trouble or difficulty with colored men who
tell where they live in a straightforward
way without being prompted by white
men, At that very little place, Marshall

when oidcers Appear Fight Ensues.
William L. Heal, court officer in the

When the train reached point
near Farnhurst Conductor Duncan an

fare and Conductor Duncan ordered
them from the train. Bill Townsend,
the most disorderly of the gang. created
the disturbance, Conductor Duncan saws,
and forced HIM to call in the assistance
Of Officers Heal and Virtue from the
smoking car. When Officer Heal at
tempted to pacify Townsend the latter
dealt the veteran officer an ugly blow
on the face. The officers then used their
blackjacks effectively, and finally with
the joint aid of Conductor Duncan
Brakeman Satterfield and James B.
Tucker, warden Of New Castle iail
the officers quelled the disturbance and
when the train reached this city they
took Townsend to the police station
and locked him up. The others were
not arrested. The car was filed with

No Compromise with Fraud.

Neither party can, in Delaware or
Pennsylvania, uphold or defend fraud
and corruption and be successful for
any length of time. The Republicans
rebuked Quay and his methods last year
simply and solely because he bad nomi-
mated candidates whose reputation were
not of the high standard that the citi-
zens put upon their own virtue and in
telligence. The Republicans of that
dyed-in-the-wool Republican state re-
pudiated what they conceived to be
dishonest, and the Democrats in Della
ware will in the end repudiate the
Democracy of Delaware should it SO far
fall from character and the lofty posi-
ton II has held in the past as to become
the defender of wrong.
