We take the following from the
Poplar Bluff Citizen of this week:
George Kolb received a letter last

of his "troubles.- lie says his first

carriages, and everything nice. His

saws. Ovcr four thousand dollars, and
he expects it to cost him everything
he has before he gets through with it.
lie does not mention his liberty in the
inventory OF possessions; but other peo-

him that too. lie does not state
whether he is in jail or out on bond.
lie signs his name "Charles c. Yates,

CARDS to his friends here, AMI says if
he gets out of his trouble he is coin

that he tells where he left a white hat

John Mcguire, whose name is a house

rived in town last evening and was
greeted with q royal welcome at the Park
hotel by the Leading citizens of Great

Mr.. Mcguire was thoroughly surprised
at the progress of Great Fails since his
last visit, now upwards of two years ago,
he manifested some disappointment mas
much as the city has not as yet, made any
provisions for a place of public amuse-
ment.
As he pertinently remarked, there are
two institutions by which every city of
any pretensions are guaged-by its prin-
cipaI hotel and its theatres. "You have
a hotel,' he said, "but where is your thea

people can find legitimate amusement"

as many can take in Winnipeg for four
nights without having to double their
route from Winnipeg Junction in max
ing that city as at present and at a cost

DELAWARE ClTYS DRY DOCK.
A Huge Project From Which Great
Things are Expected.

A Mammoth Basin and Dry Dock That
VIII Accommodate the Largest Vessels
That Ply Upon tho Deiaware--Arrange-
ments Under Way for Speedily Com
mencing the Work.
Spoc nj Correspondence Gazette and Journal
DELAWARE CITY, Aug, GA repre-
sentative of j. d. Simpson & Co. Of
Philadelphia, the famous dock builders,
is here to-day, engaged in making ar
Engagements for the construction of a
mammoth basin and dry dock along the
wharf front of Delaware City.
The total expenditures for this vast
improvement will be between 100000
and 100000, and the work will give
employment to from 900 TO 1000 hands.
The plant will be Of the, most modern
character, and will admit of the build
ing as well as the repairing of ships.
A large basin is to be constructed for
the general reception Of shipping and
for commercial purposes. One of its
great advantages will be that it will en-
able vessels to enter and unload at the
basin wharf at all seasons of the year. 1t
will be entirely protected from ice dur
ing the winter.
!. is understood that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, which operates the
Newark " Delaware City railroad, will
extend the latter road from its present
terminus to the dry dock and basin
wharf, where merchandise can be un.
loaded and cargoes taken up at the
greatest convenience To shippers.
Mr. Simpson first contemplated this
improvement ten years ago, but his
government dock contracts prevented
him from paying special attention to the
matter until recently. Some time ago
he purchased $50 acres of ground along
the river front here, comprising the
choicest dockage and wharf sites Of this
locality. OF this purchase there is a
stretch of fully loo feet along the
river front Of Delaware City, with a
depth OF water OF from 20 to "a feet. II
is in the centre of the Emost important
business portion of Delaware City. The
dry dock to be constructed will be Of a
size sufficient to receive the largest sail.
ing vessels or steamships that ply the
Delaware.
Mayor w. i. Reybold of Delaware
City, and the members of the board OF
trade, who have only just learned of the
great good luck that is about to befall
their little city, are delighted at the
prospect. They hold that it means the
building up of Delaware City, and its
ultimate ranking with Wilmington and
Chester as n ship-building centre.
Mr.. Simpson, it is understood, has all
the plans for the dry dock and basin
prepared. He is expected here next
week, when matters preliminary to an
| early commencement of the work will
be considered. He is the most promi.
nent dry-dock builder in the United
States He constructed the big dry dock
at Newport News, Va, for G. p. Hunt.
ingdon, which is Gl0xl23 feet and 80 feet
at the bottom. He also constructed dry
docks for the United States government
at the Portsmouth, League Island and
Brooklyn navy yards, and one for the
Dominion government at st. Johns

Pending the adoption of the preamble
and resolution Mr.. Murray made his
famous "kick." Mr.. Magee moved that

members could have opportunity to
vote intelligently. Mr.. Cotton urged
immediate action and said the city solicit
tor, by whom the ordinance is to be
prepared, would not do anything in the
matter which would cause trouble or be
wrong. Mr.. Magees motion was de-
feated by a party vote and the preamble

notice of the introduction of the forth
coming ordinance.
Messrs. McKelvey, Cotton and Pagan,

followed the adoption of the motion,

The Difficulty Was Occasioned by a Girl
Scholar--A Port Tobacco Tragedy,


Schoiar--A Port Tobacco Tragedy.
PoRr TOBACCO, MD, Aug. John
Marshall Rie has been lodged IN Jail
here, charged with killing John !.
Wheeler, school teacher The homi-
eide took place in Lower Naniinoy,
about 20 miles from Port Tobacco,
where both men lived.
Some time ago difficulty occurred in
the school taught by Wheeler, in which
a niece of Rie's was concerned. RE
took offence at Wheeler's action IN the
matter and sent him word that he was
no gentleman.
Wheeler, who was unable to walk
without crutches on account of an acct
dent while playing base ball, drove in
his buggy on Wednesday afternoon to
the house of John K. Bower, a nephew
of RE, where RE lives. Wheeler sent
for ltie to come ont to the road where
he was sitting in his buggy. After some
words Wheeler got out of his buggy
and started towards RE, who drew a
pistol and fired three shots at Wheeler,
two taking effect, one in the lower left
breast and the other in the right hip.
Wheeler fell to the ground and was as
sisted to his feet by boy who was
passing, but Immediately fell back dead.
The body was put in the buggy by
Rie and his nephew, who had been at
tracted TO the spot by the shooting.
They started with the body towards the
home Of the dead man, but meeting two
men, Richard Scott and Charles Small,
requested them to take the buggy and
the remains TO Wheeler's house, which
they did RE says that he did the shoot
ing in self-defence.
