A Murderous Assault.

We are indebted to the ApEeul for
the following particulars of this
brutal assault which excited the
whole county,
One of the most murderous assaults
in the history of this county was
committed upon George Ditmore
who resides with his wife on that
part of Bohemia Manor known as
Sodom, ON Sunday night last. The
couple are quite old and lived alone
in a rather secluded place, about two
miles from Chesapeake City, and
were supposed to haye had considera-
BILE money in their possession.
On Sunday evening, about s
o'clock, Mr.. Ditmore went upstairs
to bed. Shortly afterward his wife
was startled by the cry OF "murder.'
Taking up lamp, she started to her
husbands assistance, but was met at
the head of the stairs by person
who dealt her blow on the head, cut.
ting it badly and breaking the lamp
she carried. The old lady, who was
badly hurt took refuge in the cellar;
but still hearing the cries of her
husband, she went to peighbor's for
assistance.
On returning it was found that Mr..
Ditmore's face had been beaten into
shapeless mass-his nose and upper
lip being in such a condition as to
hang down over his mouth. He could
give no clue to his assailant. Inves
tigation showed that the house had
been entered through a window, and
that the second story had been tho
roughly ransacked. The blows were
inflicted with stout yellow pine
club, about three feet long, made
from piece of board, one end of
which had been shaved down to make
it more convenient to grasp.
The footprints of man were dis
covered leading toward the Bohemia
bridge. about three miles distant; and
on Monday afternoon colored man.
named Alfred Stout. was arrested at
that place, on suspicion of having
com mittei the assault and lodged
in jail here.
The robber obtained no money, it
being concealed in the cellar.
On Monday night Mr.. Ditmore was
taken by boat to hospital in Phila-
delphia.

A Busy Man.

From q sketch of Mr. Singerly's
'nsy life published in the Appeal we
summarize the following:
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Singerly is one of the
most active business men of this
country. Besides his vast private
interests which receive his daily per
sonal attention, lie is connected with
large number of financial and pub
lie institutions.
On Thursday last he was elected
President of the Chestnut Street NJ
tional Bank, of Philadelphia, to sue
coed Gov. r. e. Pattison.- On the
same day be was elected President
of the Chestnut Street Trust and
Saving Fund Co., of that city. On
Monday Of last week he was elected
a director of the Real Estate Trust
Co., of Philadelphia. This company
has paid up capital of $4,000 900
and is the largest Real Estate Trus,
Company in the country.
He is one of the directors of the
Belt Line Railroad Co., and will to a
large extent have charge and direc
ton of the construction of that road
in the spring. He is very largely
interested in street railways in that
city. He is the principal owner of
the stock of large manufacturing
corporation at Conshokocken. He
is the owner and operator of a large
woolen mill in Phiiada. He is also
the owner and operator of large
mill in the northern part of the city
where the hard wood and other I'm
ishipgs for houses and public build
ings are made. He is one of the
principal breeders of HoIstein cattle
in the United States. His paper
The Record, is one of the leading
dailies of the country. He is one of
the Commissioners of Paramount
Park. He is also trustee of several
charitable institutions.
The people here know the extent
of bis business interests in this
town (Elkton) and county.
To these public and private inter
ests. vast as they are, he gives his
personal attention He is an indie
fatigable and tireIess worker. He
hegins work at eight clock in the
morning and generally leaves his
office at ten O'Clock at night. He is
in the enjoyment of excellent health
and the many busy years lie has
spent at work have left no trace Of
i'll effects upon him. He is easily
approached and no deserving charity
ever appeals to him in vain.
The above record has two points
10 be especially proud of. namely.
honesty and industry. The people
admire the millionaire who has made
his money by industry and honesty.
and not by wrecking railroads and
usury. Senator Leland Stanford, of
California, and VIM. NJ. Singerly are
the only two miilionaires that we
know of are of the people and for
the people. Their wealth and force
of administrative ability ought to be
claimed by the people in the strug
gle against domineering, corrupt
wealth which is now preparing for a
desth struggle.
