came to the venerable bard, and the
were greatly surprised. They
had discovered that Mr.. Whitman's Vi.

counted to be almost wonderful. II is
still their belief, however, that the man
cannot live through the illness, but they
do not say positively now that there is

posse. They set fire to the house, and
as Mcmillan and the other inmates
rushed ont the gang fired upon them.
John Mcmillan, John Kennedy, and
several other persons were wounded.
Nine of Sims gang were injured. The
two former, it Is said, have since died.
But Sims and his desperate associates
are more than likely to be wiped off the
face of the earth within the next twenty.
four hours. The assault on the McMil.
Ian family has aroused both the citizens
and the authorities to action, and troops
and armed men are fiooking to the Sims
homestead, where the desperate and his
associates are Gagged, and surrounded by
Ia sheritf's posse. The governor has or.
lered out the First regiment Of state
troops and the sheriff left last night fol
the scene of action. The troops have
with them a field piece for lombard

party will make desperate resistance
and will sell their liver dearly.
The Simsites are six in number, two
of whom are believed to be the daugh

rounded yesterday forenoon, and shots
were exchanged. In the melee one Of

FOURTH EDITION


The steamer Brandywine had two
unusually eventful trips yesterday,
rendered so on account of tho dense
fog yesterday. She left this city al
the usual time. 7.30 a. m, for Philadel
phia and had to proceed with great
caution out the Christiana. The fog
was so dense that the steamer was
simply permitted to float along and II
was p m when the boat reached
Chester. Here the fog lifted and the
steamer proceeded on her way unit
when oil Gloucester Captain Jacobs
saw three men cllnglng to small
boat and were about to be lost.
Captain Jacobs stopped the Brandy
wine at once and throwing the mer
line they were hauled In nearly OK
hausted, The last man brought OF
deck was SO nearly dead that he could
not stand on his feet. The names Of
the men were Anthony Jones, Charles
Nelsnan and John Morrow, of Phila
delphia. They had gone out In {
small skin to get some evergreen,
over in New Jersey. While two of thu
men we're changing seats. the boat up
, set. They held on to 1t until rescued
by Captain Jacobs. The men were put
In the fire room to dry their clothes
and were taken to Philadelphia. Til,
steamboat arrived at Philadelphia al
$50 o'clock.
The Brandywine left, on her return
at o'clock, and all went well unit
she was opposite Edge Moor, wheI
another dense fog fell upon the rive
and the steamer hal to foel her way
around tho jetty with the greatest eau
ton. Scarcely hal she made the turn
as he thought, in safety, when all al
once she stuck In the mud OPPOSITE
the lighthouse.
There were about fifty passengers OF

sisted all efforts to get her off whel

to the p, W. Il b. cutolf bridge, from
whence they Walked to the city. The
remainder OF the passengers remained
on the boat and were we'll cared fol
and made comfortable by Captain
Jacobs and the crew. The boat wa.
well heated and lighted and supper
was served In abundance,

was the lack OF sleeping accominoda

cat regret being that they could no

friends. The passengers could hav,
been transferred and brought ashore
but the Brandywine's officers though
best not to run that risk, fearful some
thing might happen.
