o,BYRNE AND MUNDY.
The Former Accused by the Latter {
Trying to Ruin Him.


A special from New York says: Judge
Van Wyck of the city court listened to
some very strong language Tuesday week II
was in the case of Lawyer William IL.
Mundy, upon his action in collecting a
Judgment from Mme Eliza Porret, and, as
alleged, not turning the money over to
Mary Lentscher, his client. Severe COM
ment was made by J. G. J. Langbein, the
referee, TO whom the case was given for
hearing. The present proceedings are to
confirm the referees report, in which he
recommended that the attention of the
supreme court, general term, be called to
the conduct of Mundy and an attorney
named A. d. Clarke. Henry NJ. Gescheidt
appeared in support of the motion, while
Charles W. Brooke was present on behalf
of Mundy.
Mundy opened the proceedings with an
impassioned address to the court, in the
course of which he attacked Mme Porret,
Lawyer Gescheidt and Referee Langbein,
and then paid his attention to ex-Assistant

of Wilmington, who he said was In a CON

an unoccupied dwelling house which
belonged to Mr., Milton A. Parsons last
night. The house was located short
distance from Salisbury, on the Wicom-
leo river, and stood apart from other

The funeral of Alphonso L. Gordon,
editor and proprietor of the New Bruins
wick, N. il, Times, took place in that
city yesterday week. Mr.. Gordon was a
native of Wilmington, and learned the
printers art in the office Of Porter IL
Naff, publishers of that famous old
Wing organ, the DeId1pdre State J0ur-
NIL, (now EVERY EVENINGS weekly
edition). Despite the decided Wing sur.
roGndings of his scenes of daily labor,
Mr.. Gordon, even as a youthful appren-
tice, was an ardent Democrat, and Mu-
nicipal Court Clerk William b. IIyland,
who knew him well in those days, re-
calls many an incident Of hot political
controversy in which young Gordon
ably and eloquently maintained the i'm
mortal principles of the party of JeiTer-
son and Jackson. In 1916 Mr.. Gordon
left Wilmington and published Demo-
cratic paper at New Brunswick, in COM
pany with Colonel Sobrieski, noted
Jerseyman Of that date. A few years
later he migrated to Grand Rapids,
Mich, and started Democratic paper
there called the Eagle This venture
not proving profitable, he soon returned
to New Brunswick and bought the
Times, which lie subsequently made a
daily and published for years thereafter
with great success. President Cleveland
appointed Mr.. Gordon United States
marshal for the northern district Of
New Jersey, which position he held for
four years Mr. Gordon was not only
an ardent, consistent and aggressive
Democrat, but a journalist Of merit and
also a poet Of no mean ability. The
older residents Of Wilmington will re-
member him, and will sincerely regret
his death, lie was So years Of age.

Hints to Housekeepers.

IT is said that sciatica may be cured
by applying coating of flowers OF sui
phur to the afflicted limb
GOLD rope is much used for picture
frames. II should not be more than half
an inch in diameter, except for large
pictures. Hemp and MANILA are also
used; but hemp is better, for IL is
smooth.
A GOOD plan for keeping butter cool
and sweet In summer is TO fill a box with
sand TO within an inch or two of the top;
sink the butter jars in the sand, then
thoroughly wet the sand with cold
water. Cover the box air-tight. The
box may be kept in the kitchen.
For tender feet, take two quarts Of
cold water and add one tablespoonful of
bay rum and two tablespoonfuls of am
monia. The feet should be soaked in
this for ten minutes, throwing the water
upward to the knees. Rub dry with a
crash towel, and the tired feeling will be
gone.
A USEFUL cement for mending earth
ern or stone jars, stopping leaks in the
seams of tin pans or iron kettles, or
lightning loose joints of iron or wood. is
made by mixing litharge and glycerinc
TO thick cream. This willsresist acids,
heat aud cold, II the article is not used
until the cement has hardened.
MAcARoNI should be used much more
than it is Its very good substitute
for potatoes when that vegetable is
scarce and high, as 1t is this year. Many
physicians object seriously 20 the use Of
old potatoes after they have begun to
sprout, and on their own tables use maca-
roni instead. The simple ways OF pre-
pairing this dish everybody knows.
