THE LADS 4RE All RIGHT,
But the, Story that They Were Kid
mapped Caused Much Excitement in
the Ninth Wnrd this Morning.

People living over in the Ninth ward
were thrown into state of excitement
yesterday week over the report that
Willie Gossim and Irwin Stetser,aged re-
spectively eight and nine years, had been
kidnapped from home and that man
was seen driving rapidly out the Con-
cord pike with the lads in a wagon, hav-
ing their hands securely bound. The
story spread rapidly and soon large
portion of the Ninth ward was bustling
about trying to find the abductor, but
no one seemed to make any great effort
in hunting the boys, not knowing which
way to turn.
Finally some one telephoned TO Gal
lagher's drug store and had him secure
an officer and place him upon the trail
of the abductor and his captives. The
officer started in pursuit out the Con-
cord turnpike, while other persons
started in different directions. John
Saville, the to!l-gate keeper, informed
the policeman that he had seen man
driving through the toll-gate with two
boys who answered the description of
those missing, and the officer thought
this pretty good clue and pushed on.
Meantime the mother Of Irwin Stetser,
who is also son of eX-Police Sergeant
Stctser, and Mrs Gossim started out to
hunt the boys. Mr.. Stetser was away
fishing and knew nothing of the boys
disappearance. The country about was
secured thoroughly when somebody
brought the intelligence that he had
seen man taking the boys across a field
out near the Concord pike. The boys
disappeared about 5 o'clock and the
search was kept up until II O'Clock
without success. The parents of the
children were wild with excitement.
Finally several of the searching
party, including Mrs. Stetser, left the
Concord pike and started down the old
Snuff Mill lane, when they saw the
boys down under walnut tree at O
considerable distance. When the party
came upon the boys they refused to tali
much, but Gossm stated that the mar
seen crossing the field with them wa:
only going to take splinter out of hi
foot. The other lad did not corroborat'
this statement, however.
| The boys We're very reiicent and no
inclined to talk abouttheir long absence
from home at all.

HURLED TO MS DEATH.
A Brakeman Killed on the Railroad Near
Sudlersville, Nd.

An accident occurred at Sudlersville,
Md, at O'Clock, p. M, yesterday week,
in which Robert j. Satterfield of No.
610 Church street, this city, was almost
instantly killed. Satterfield was
brakeman employed by the Delaware
road. AT the time Of the accident he
was standing on the rear of caboose.
The train consisted of an engine, a
freight car and caboose. The engi-
neer was about to make what is called
"a running switch;" that is, after the
cars are given the necessary speed by
engine power they are allowed to run
down on the siding themselves. Satter-
field, as he stood on the rear of the
caboose, gave the engineer the signal to
pull out faster, and Immediately there
came a tremendous jar, which snatched
the brakeman over the railing and
hurled him to the track beneath. AS
soon as the brakcman's body fell upon
the track the wheels of the freight car
passed diagonally across his body, almost
cutting il in twain. Death was almost
instantaneous.
The body was put aboard train and
taken to Sudlersville, Md, where an
inquest was held and verdict of acci-
dental death rendered. The remains
were then brought to Wilmington,
and taken in charge by Undertaken Pal
mer. Thursday morning the body was re-
moved TO the late home of the deceased
at Nc. 610 Church street. AT Sudlers-
vile, Md, some of the ladies of the town
and the Rev. Il. q. Macknichol strewed
many beautiful flowers over the re.
mains as a tribute of the esteem in
which the deceased was held by the
people of Sudlersville.
Satterfeld had been in the employ oi
the Delaware road for three years and
was 2S years old. He leaves wife and
three children. lie was born at Mil.
| ford, where his father survives him, his
mother having died several years ago
His occu upation was originally com
mercial traveller for mercantile house
| in Milford and later he engaged as q
brakeman and proved clever railroad
man.
He was member of Division No. 1898
Order of Railway Trainmen, and ar
| ex-secretary of the order. He was also
a member of Minqua Tribe, |. o. Il. NJ.
and of the Shield Of Honor.
Satteriield was on the same train will
| George S. Dean, who was killed al
Farnhurst station on Monday week, ant
proved an important witness before tht

Harry Satterfeld, a brother of the de
ceased, is now lying in Philadelphia
hospital with broken leg which he re
ceived in wreck at Charlestown, Md.
on July 29th, while first cousin, con
ductor on the road, has been laid uI
since June 9th from severe injuries.

The Steamer Republic Encounters a

ware Storm.

The Steamer Republic Encounters a
Water spout and Also weathers Sc
we're Storm.
Thursdays Philadelphia Ledger says .
Notwithstanding the heavy storm of
yesterday the steamer Republic arrived
at her dock at Race street wharf from
her trip to Cape May but half hour
later than usual.
Yesterday was Breakwater day and
the 1000 people on board, with but few
exceptions, availed themselves of the
sea trip. When within four miles of the
stone pile mountain-high water spout
was encountered and the pilot gave the
signal to slow up.
Without the knowledge of a great
majority of those on board the steamer
was headed back to Cape May. When
near Ship John Lighthouse the storm
came along in all its fury, compelling
the passengers to take shelter between
decks. The wind sent the camp stools
on the upper decks spinning around like
toy tops, but the massive steamer was
equal to the occasion and no alarm was
felt by those on board.
On her return to this city the gang
way was dropped into the river at Ches-
ter, and this caused the delay of half an
hour

WENT THROUGH A BRIDGE.
Accident to a Train on the Ponce
roy g. Newark Road.

The Storm Weakened the Foundations
and the Bridge Went Down--Lucky
Escape of Passengers and Train Hands
barn Struck by Lightning.
Special Correspondent Gazette and journal.
NEWARK, Aug. 13.-Last evening,
while the Pomeroy & Newark train was
running east and about two miles east
of Landenberg, it met with an accident
that might have proven most serious.
AT that point there is a long trestle
bridge, and the heavy storm of few
hours previous had undermined the
foundation. The engine, in charge OF
Engineer Clark Paxson and Fireman
Richard Warpoole, passed over the
bridge safely, but the tender went crash
ing through, carrying with it one freight
car and one passenger coach. Two pas
sengers were in the coach when it went
through the bridge into the creek, which
was a seething torrent of water. The
trucks were swept from under the
wrecked cars, but the coach remained
in an upright position, which was all
that saved the lives of those inside. The
engineer and fireman escaped being
hurt, which was remarkable. The pas
sengers and crew were brought to
Newark on the engine, which arrived
about 9.27 o'clock last night. Although
one of the passengers was woman, she
was brave to remarkable degree. The
heavy rain storm did considerable
damage.
The large barn Of George Satterth-
waite, near Stanton, was struck by
lightning yesterday afternoon during
the heavy storm and totally destroyed.
The report that reaches here is rather
indefinite, but 1t is supposed that his
building was full of hay and grain
The loss will amount to several thou
sand dollars.
The wind caused considerable damage
| yesterday among the corn on the farms
near Fair Hill, Md. The large barn or
the farm of George Biles, was blowr
down and badly wrecked. The build
ing was full Of provender The Loss
will be quite severe. The wind wa.
very violent in that neighborhood ant
it was thought cyclone was at hand
No other damage has been reported, ex
cept that the corn crop was badly
knocked down.

THE OLD MiSON J.IRS.
The Big Fruit Crop Causes an Immens,
Demand for Them.

The remarkable fruit harvest of this
year has set almost every housewife in
New Castle county busy preserving and
canning large quantities of peaches,
Bartlett pears and apples.
"You have no idea,n remarked husi-
ness man yesterday to a GAZETTE
reporter, "to what extent this home
industry is carried on. 1t almost beats
the total of the local cannery trade.
Each farmers wife averages purchase
of at least so Mason jars. As many as
10000 have already been sold in the
city and one business man in that trade
has consignment on the road here of
100000 more. The jars will soon go up
80 per cent in price. Only certain
number are manufactured by the glass
blowers each year. The season has
only just commenced and so you can
readily see the cause for a rise in the
price. They cannot be obtained now.
Jobbers are holding them up for this
rise and there is not single Mason jar
in the manufacturers hands"
Are there not other brands beside
the Mason ?" the reporter ask cd.
"Yes, and far better at the same
price. But the farmers wife prefers
the old-fashioned Mason, which has
been used by her mother and grand
mother. You can't sell the Brandywine
farm wife any other article. The more
you extol the new jar the more she re-
spects its insufficiency."
