A special from West Chester yester-
day said: The largest part OF the bag
gage of B.enauEh Woodland and
David Troutman, the two young al
legged horse thieves brought to West
Chester from Delaware City last night,
consists Of papcr-backed novels of the
blood and thunder type. Each of the
youths are 10 years OF age. They be-
long to good families, Woodlands
parents living on nice place a short
distance from this town.
Troutman'5 parents live In Reading,
but he has been living with relatives
out In West Whlteland for some time.
They were considered wild boys, but
We're not thought to have sunk TO the
depths which subsequent events indi-
Gated. They read oil the cheap litera-
ture they could get hold OF, and its Of
feet was such that they now languish
In the Chester county jail, with fair
prospects Of remaining In confinement
for some time.
A week ago, 1t is charged, they coolly
got Into n wagon standing on Gay
Street, this place, and drove of. A
short distance out Of town they ex-
changed the horse for fine trotting
mare belonging to Irwin Reagan. A
few hours later they stopped down In
Delaware county and clipped off the
name and tail of the horse. Then they
drove to Delaware, where they were in
hiding. 1t was only through the horse
becoming foundered and giving out
that they were finally caught. 1t is
said the animal Is ruined, 1t was {
fine horse, being valued at $500.

The performances given by Pawnee
Bills Wild West show are the best of
the kind that ever exhibited In this
city. They are well attended, and en-
soyed not only by men, but also by la.
dies and children. The rifle shooting
Of Miss May Lille is one OF the attrac-
tive features of the show.
This young lady is one of the best
rifie shots that has ever appeared in
this city, and it would be dangerous
experiment for man to allow her to
practice on him ut five hundred yards
distance The entire show is first
uinss In every respect, and well deserv-
Ing of the liberal patronage that 1t Is
receiving. The closing performance
will be given tomorrow evening, when
there will be grand race between an
Indian, Cowboy and a Mexican.
The entire enclosure should be
crowded at each performance, as the
ecenes presented are realistic of what
the wild west was few years ago.
They are presented by those who took
q part In them, and consequently are
true to life.
When the company leaves here il
will go to Atlantic City,where 1t has an
engagement for three weeks.

Work is practically suspended on
the foundations of the new post-oiflce
and the new depot buildings OF the
Wilmington City Railway Company,
at Delaware avenue and DUPONT streets
on account OF A. s. Reed n Bros.
bricklayers going on strike. The
Messrs. Reed are contractors for both
Jobs.
The cause of the strike is said to be
that the contractors put their brother
Ellsworth Reed, aged 20 years, to work
at laying brick, that he might finish n
trade he commenced many years ago
and abandoned. The brieklayers, 1t is
said reconstructed with the contractors
butthey, refusing to discharge their
brother, the men quit work on Tues
day morning, and both contracts are
standing with nothing doing.
This was the situation this morning,
the contractors refusing to discharge
their brother and the men refusing to
go to work while he was employed.
An attempt has been made In vain to
obtain bricklayers from Philadelphia.
When they understood the situation
they refuse to come.

In consequence oil this order, the
peddlers of fruit collected In groups
this morning and discussed the eitua-
ton. As George Gray the grocer at
Second and King streets was believed
to be the author OF the law raising the
license fee beyond the reach OF most
peddlers. while he was in the Leglsla-
ture, they had no honied words for
him.
The general gist of the conversation
was III favor oil one OF their number
selling and allowing himself to be ar
rested In order to test the law. There
was almost an entire absence of ped
oilers upon the street this forenoon.
A representative OF the REPUBLICAN
called upon Chief Blackburn this
morning and asked bin what course
he was going to pursue, when he said
he knew nothing IN the case but to do
his duty, and carry out the law, e5peci-
ally as he was ordered to do so by the
State authorities.
Tho peddlers at first thought they
would employ Philadelphia lawyer
to defend their cause but other eoun-
sells prevailed on account of jealousy
against foreign lawyers, and the gem
eral sentiment was then in favor OF
employing Levi G. Bird, ESQ.,. A com
niittce was subsequently, employed to
wait OH Mr.. Bird.
The license for foot pedder Is $50,
and il he has a horse and wagon it
Is 800. The main DIRECTORS to the
unlicensed peddlers are the peddlers
that are licensed. They say there Il
neither law nor justice in peddlers
paying no licenss underselllng them
and taking away their customers.
They say, let them pay their LICENSE
rs they have done and be on an equal
" with them.
