CHASED By HOP LEE.
Charles Zicgler Robs a Laundryman's Till
and Is Arrested by the Police.

Hop Lee, the young Chinese laundry
man of Sixth street near Penn, came
running excitedly to the police station
on Thursday saying that he had been
robbed of $50. He.was surrounded by
a hilarious mob of children Of all ages,
that completely jammed the passageway
to the station. Some tried to sympathize
with Hop, while others derided him,
mimicking the Celestial's gestures until
they drove him almost frantic. The
Zeigler, aged 18, had broken open his
till and taken all the money. Hop saw
the theft committed and gave chase to
the thief. The run was down Fourth
to King street, to Brennan's res
taurant. The fugitive dived into
the open door with Hop after
him, arms, legs and pig tail flying like q
windmill, and about 100 youngsters
screeching after him in demoniac de-
light. Ziegler ran to back office and
banged the door to after him in the face
of the fast following Hop. The China
man danced with rage outside, rapping
at the door and threatening all sorts Of
evils to Ziegler if he did not open. Hop,
however, suddenly darted off to the
police station, his tormenters behind
him. He told his story to Captain
Francis, who, with Sergeant Chambers
and Officer Todd, repaired to Fourth
and King streets, where Ziegler was
found and arrested. The latter denied
Hops charge and claimed that he had
only few cents in his possession.
Upon being searched, however, about
SO was found secreted in his socks. He
will be held for court.

ANOTHER SWINDLER IN TOWN.
Claims to be an Hospital Patient Anx-
ious to Pay Past Kindnesses.

The sneak swndler is in town again.
He called at the office of Colonel Vain
wright, No. S02 Market street, Thursday
afternoon, and after ensconsing himself
costly in an armchair, began an inter-
esting yarn. Colonel" he exclaimed,
warmly, I" | wonder you don't remember
me. Can't you call to mind lending me
a book when was in a hospital in Phil
adelphia? Anyhow, don't forget you.
l want to tell you lam just now making
a handsome parlor basket. It's almost
finished, and all | want is the plush
velvet lining. That will cos. dollar.
/ can get the material at the hospital.
But Id rather not, and you can loan me
the sum and I'll bring the handsome
basket to you when it is finished"
The intended recipient could not re-
member anything what ever of the hos
pital incident or of the man but felt very
much gratified over the evidence Of that
scant human virtue gratitude. His sem
timents underwent change however
as a dawning suspicion flashed across
him of possible swindle.
well, anyhow, replied the gallant
colonel, "you get your basket ready and
send it here, C. o. d." The visitor, in
reply, hurried scowling out of the room.
On mentioning the incident to lawyer
who has an office next door, the surpris-
ing reply was, "Why, that fellow has
been in to see me only an hour ago. He
wanted to match the color of the velvet
with the furniture of the parlor. I told
him my wife is away from home and he
could call in weeks time. But he
wanted the dollar, badly"
The swindler is about 80 years of age,
medium height and is dressed in gray
clothing.

were cited on Thursday before Squire
Monaghan on the charge of cruelty and
desertion of their child, Annie Hayden,
13 years of age. The girl is a simpleton
and stories of her ill-treatment and of
neglect by her parents reached the ears
of Agent Frank Stout of the S. p. G. G.
A number of witnesses testified to the
facts III the case how the girl was neg
lected, that she was left lying around
doorsteps weak from lack of food and
with filthy garments. Several bad
wounds about the body gave evidence
of the parents inhuman treatment of
the poor simpleton. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hayden on Thursday seemed quite cal
lous IN regard to the charge against
them. Squire Monaghan fined the father
$40 and Mrs. Hayden $25 and costs.

The superintendent Of the agricultural
department of the Wilmington fair, OK
United States Marshal H. II. McMullen,
reports the probability of good peach
exhibit at the fair. The general suppo-
sition was that it would be altogether
too late to acquire any respectable ex-
hibit of this staple Delaware product.
But the genial superintendent says
otherwise. In the other fruit and vege-
table exhibits Mr.. McMullen has en-
gagements from the leading fruit grow
ers of the Peninsula and New Jersey.
The agricultural department promises
to run all the other sections of exhibits
close for the top-notch show of the fair.
