NEWARK, Nov. 27.--Thanksgiving Day
in this town passed off quietly. In the
morning there was union service of the
Presbyterans and Methodists in the
church of the latter and service also in

an outing in chasing reynard DER hill and
dale and in the evening the employees of
the paper mill gave an enjoyable dance in
Caskey Hall which was largely attended.
Some nights ago quite serious accident
happened to Mrs. Hiram Walker and Mrs.
Emma Biddle of Cowantown, who were
passing through this town on their return
| from Wilmington. IL was dark ut the
| time and when near town their carriage
was accidentally run into by team
driven by Randolph Jones. The former
team received violent shock which threw
is two occupants out iniuring one Mrs.
Biddle, quite seriously. She was taken to
the home of the Rev. Mr.. Mason and cared
for and later removed to her home in
Cowantown. She is internally injured and
her condition is rather serious

driving to Stanton with load of oats his
young horse, was badly scared by dog on
the road and ran away, throwing its driver
out and continuing its mad flight until 1t

F., w. < B. railroad track. With the
wagon still attached the colt ran over the
ties OF the north-bound track until he met
north-bound express No. 81. Before the

not seriously hurt.
Stephen Walton, the young Chestnut
I'LL farmer who was recently swndled
out OF his farm by some Baltimore sharp
ers, is in town at present and yesterday
related to your correspondent the facts of
the case. Desiring to abandon farming
and move west he was attracted several
weeks ago by an advertisement in Cecil
county paper which stated that a Balti-
more man would like to exchange valu-
able city, property for good farm. Com
munication was opened with the advertiser,
| VINO had several confederates, and an agree
ment between them and Walton was soon
made. The latter was taken to Baltimore
and shown the property to be traded for
the farm. 1t consisted of four small brick
houses, and before the transfer was actually
made Walton employed a lawyer to look
lawyer so consulted, who afterwards
proved to be a confederate of the
traders, reported the property I'LL
right and the trade was made. Now it
transpires that the houses are heavily en-
numbered with mortgages and practically
worthless. In the meantime all the stock,
implements, crops and household goods of
l - NAiSh MtIC llGluutu Ill lllt Irnlle
have been removed from the place by its
new owners and Walton finds himself
completely swindled out of from s., 600 to
$500. the value of the houses in Balti-
more being almost entirely covered by
mortgages. The farm has been stripped Of
everything of value by the sharpers and
then deserted. 1t is to be sold by the
sheriff soon to satisfy some claims against
IT existing at the time of the trade Mr..
| walton is very industrious young man,
the brother OF Representative Charles "A.
| Walton and he receives much sympathy.
Almost all of his possessions are thus
swept away and he is soon to start west to
try his fortune again.
| NEWARK, Nov. 2s.-Last evening a new
| lodge was formed here--Ivy Castle, No. %
knights of the Golden Eagle. For the
past several weeks an enrolment paper
has been in the hands of j Wesley Miller
ana J. i. Ferguson, who succeeded in get
ting the names of SO new members. Ac-
cordlng to notification the officers of the
Gfand Lodge, headed by Grand Master G.
W. Dame of Smyrna, came here last even
ing and formally organized the new castle
III the Red Mems Hall. Besides the grand
| oitlcerS there were over SO visiting knights
from Wilmington, Smyrna, Marshallton,
Landenberg. Ghristiana and Delaware CITY
a STIRRING address was delivered by Grand
Master Dame, after which the Grand Lodge
officers were entertained at supper.
The ladies of the NJ. z. Church will piye
supper in Caskey Hall OH the evenings of
December 10th and 18th, for the benefit of
the parsonage fund. The report recently
appearing in Wilmington paper to the
effect that the Rev. W. j. Duhadway. pas
tor OF the Methodist Church, was studying
law IS pronounced entirely untrue by the
gentleman in question.

Arrow" has been formed here to while

literary exercises.
NEWARK, Nov. 3O.-Foot- ball enthusiasts
Of which the town is full, have been hon.
| ing that the college team would play one
moro game on the home ground before the
cold weather sets in, but q positive an
nouncement has been made by the team
that no more games would be PLAYED here
this season, the hidden reason no doubt
being that the team has not had finan-
clally prosperous season, however successful
1t has been in its playing. The games here
We're attended by crowds ranging from 800
to loo persons, but ct only few games
was admission charged The team has
been practically supported this season by
subscription in college circles and among
the men of the town. Next wear, IL Is said
N'AA ~ tAaAStu W dtiI
and in this case next years team will not
find itself with big deficit on hand at the
seasons close.
Through change in the p, w. & b. r..

train from Wilmington or Philadelphia
between 6,57 p. m. and 1898 a. m. Train

William Cooch has just had put into his
mill corn breaker for the making of ',cob
meal, utilizing in the operation an i'm
/ ported French burr which has been in the
| possession of the Cooch family for almost
| acentury and is as good as ever. All the
farmers in this vicinity are now beginning
TO feed this "cob NEAL, which is simply
corn and cob crushed and gronnd-very fine
together. This saves Smelling and makes
much more food material
