the evening Mr. Newlin with his 4-year
old son went to Chester, where he WIS
surprised to find his brother-in-law In
good health and that nothing had been
heard of his wife. Mr.. Newlin at once
supposed that his wife had stopped
with Carol Stokes and he came TO Will
mington and then proceeded TO Baltl-
more without finding her.
On Monday he received n letter
from her dated Baltimore, in which
she stated that sha could not remain
in Coaetsville on account OF the scan
dial there was about her and Stokes,
and that it would be useless for him
to look for her; that she was not set
tied yet but as soon as she was she
would write TO him again. She urged
him to take good care of the boy and
to sell out Itappoars that Mrs, New

are the cause of the destructive dis
ease is accepted by the leading growers
in this section, aid they believe that
the mystery has at last been solved.
Sewell g. Biggs, a brother OF ex-Gov-
ernor Benjamin L. Biggs, large grow.
err, said o,day that the Insect theory
Is the most logical solution yet an
nounced, and other well-to-do coDser'
yative growers coincide with him.
Ex-Governor Biggs, who lives in this
town, will ship $4,000 baskets OF the
fruit from his orchards OF 5000 trees
near Millington, Md; Ex-Governor
John 7. Cochran will ship $4,000 bas

About o month ago, q eolored man
came to the REPUBLICAN Office and in
troduced himself as Captain Matthews,
OF Leavenworth, Kansas. From docu-
ments which he presented, a reporter
was led to believe that he was all he
represented himself to be, and he was
interviewed. His history, as given by
himself, was very interesting, and con
sequently was published. He said that
during the war he was q captain in the
Union Army, and that he had been a
police officer and Justice Of tho peace
In Leavenworth. Some papers con-
were received at the office OF the Advo-
cate, at Leavenworth, and this morn
ing Q marked copy of that paper, with
the following editorial was received at
this officer
''rhe papers down east are being
afflicted with the rot of Bill Mathews
about his great % life and heroic
deeds; his keeping a boarding house
for white folk, and his occupation as
u Justice of Peace in Leavenworth, his
valuable ~ services as captain. IL
any of those eastern papers want to
know WIN Peanut Billy is, and get his
true history, let them send a special
correspondent to this city. They can
letuH uoTo truIu VI min tndH uo Is
willing to tell"
Let Mathews tell when and where
he was mustered Into the army. Let
him tell in what years he WAS a Justice
OF the Peace In his life in any place on
earth. But one thing Peanut Billy can
tell rlghtfully, and that Is that he was
a 'nigger catcher" for Uncle Sam dur.
ing the war, for which he was we'll
paid per capita, and when the govern
ment got through with him he was
told to stand aside. No, he never was
captain, Justice of the Peace, or any
thing else out here, and never will be,
because the people are too well &c
qualnted with him."
Matthews has been well entertained
by the colored people of this city, and
also of Chester, and II he is n fraud he
has certainly made the most of 1t.

The storm OF Tuesday night demon
strated that larger and. better sewers
are needed In the eastern part of the
city. Poplar street, from Seventh to
Ninth, and Taylor street from Pine to
Walnut, were flooded, and almost
every cellar was filled with water.
The people on the east sid Of tho
city pay as much taxes us any other
section, and they do not think II right
that because q member of the Street
lsnd Sewer Commission owns consider
able property on the western side OF
the city, that all the money should be
spent there in improving the streets,
and enhancing It's value. Very little
has been done for the Eighth ward
since the commission was organized,
and consequently there Is considerable
Taylor street. the same as Poplar
street, should DO provided with good
sewers and paved. and IL Is hoped that
when the commission secures the loan
lof 800, 900. some of II will be spent
lin this part of the city, instead OF le-
ling used for improving CURLING, and
paving Eastlake Park, in which one Of
the members Is Interested, but as it Is
outside OF the city does not pay any
taxes.
Within the last few years, there have
been more houses built, and more inn
lprovements made in tho Eighth ward
than any other In tho city; consequent
ly there Is an increase In the taxes, and
the residents think they are entitled to
some recognition.

About $50 o'clock last evening, Ser
geant Ingram found Bessie DeWire,
the wife OF Thomas DeWire, very drunk
at Fourth and Tatnall streets. She had
"a small child with her, and. through
pity, some women in the vicinity took
the child and said they would Keep it
until some one called for it. Officer
Floyd said he knew where the family
lived In the Ninth ward and would take
1t home. He did so, but there was no
one to receive 1t. 1t was returned to
the police station and given in charge
|of Matron White, and the young
woman was locked up.
1t Is stated that Thomas De Wire, the
husband and father, has loft the city.
some time ago the couple kept the
saloon at No. 800 King street, but as
both were frequently drunk, and there
was row IN the place almost every
might, the landlord turned them out,
land they are now residing in the Ninth
ward. Their homeis dreary and for
saken place, and at 1l.30 O'Clock last
hight there was no one in the house,
but the doors and windows were all
standing open. She was arralgned be-
fore Judge Ball this morning, and as
Agent Stout has a charge Of cruelty to
her children against her, she was com.
United in default OF 5000 bail for q
hearing tomorrow morning.
