The Delaware Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children held its an
nual meeting Tuesday afternoon. The
existing board of managers and execu-
tive officials were reelected. Special
Agent Frank Stout made his annual re-
port in explanation of the fact that but
$3.50 out of the total fines imposed of
$467 was collected is that the great mass
OF the prisoners were too poor to pay,
and in default served out term in Jail.
The reason that four cases were not
prosecuted is that the arrested parties
consented to give up the children if not
prosecuted. Those present at the meet
ing expressed themselves gratified over
the. work accomplished during the year
and as very much pleased with what
had been done through the industry Of
the prosecuting attorney of the.soeiety

Captain Anderson,s Duties.

Captain George F. Anderson, Sixth
United States Cavalry, now stationed
at Fort Myer, on the Virginia side of the
Potomac, opposite Washington, has been
detailed by the war department as super
intendent of the Yellowstone National
Park in place of Captain Boutelle, now
with his command at the Pine Ridge
Agency. The gallant captain is we'll
known here. He was the United States
inspector at Brandywine encampment
in 'SS. There he made hosts of friends.
Common repute, however, place large
share of his victories among the fair sex.
His record also, according to the
GAzETTE's encampment letters of 'sS,
shows some notable midnight personal
contests with the Delaware sentinel
soldiers when the gigantic cavalryman
did not come out invariably the best.
These were during his inspection rounds,
when he tried all manner of army ruses
in attempting to surprise the young
sentinels.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Jan. 21.-While
the run inaugurated on the Kansas City
Safe Deposit and Savings Banks last
Monday morning is continued this
morning the indications that the end is
near are very strong. At the hour of
opening there were not over 1875 people
standing in line. Since then the line
has decreased very materially. This,
taken in connection with the fact that
the bank held over 100000 in deposits
on Monday and that less than $4,000
has been paid out, shows that there is a
strong undertone of confidence among
the depositors. There is nothing new
this morning in connection with the
American National Bank failure.

The Desperate Caught in Barn Hiding
Under the Hay--Now in Jail,

DOVER, Jan. t9.-It was learned yester-
day that William Shockley the negro
desperate who so murderously assaulted
Officers William Milbourn and Thomas
Kinnamon last Wednesday night with an
axe, was in hiding at the farm of Walter
Morris, near town. Accordingly Sheriff
Cole summoned q posse, composed of
George West, N, II, Hutchins, Willard
Cahall and w. d. Walls, accompanied by
Alderman Jester, the party. About l
O'Clock they took carriages and proceeded
to the place where it was said 'Shockley
was in hiding. They were well armed
with shot-guns and revolyers.
On arriving the sheriff was informed by
the colored tenant that the man they were
looking for was not on the premises al
though he had been there. But this did
not deter the posse from thoroughly
searching the house after placing pickets
around the buildings. After going through
the house from cellar to garrett without Sc
curing the prisoner they proceeded TO the
barn and continued the hunt. Messrs.
West and Cahall went up in the hay loft
and began prodding in the hay with long
pitchfork. After going through this pro-
cedure for some time they heard loud
scream; then they knew they had found
their man. Shockley was buried in the
hay and the pitchfork had been stuck
through his hand He was told to come
out which he Immediately did. He was
then covered with two revolvers and the
officers called Hands up which COM
mand the negro at once obeyed. He was
handcuffed and brought to town and safely
lodged in jail.
1t leaked out that the posse had gone
after Shockley and soon crowd of ex-
cited men were on their way to the farm
They met the officers with their prisoner
and hootod and yelled at him Some
wanted to kill him, but Squire Jester said
he was prisoner and the law would give
him his just deserts. The crowd seemed
satisfied and no violence occurred A
hearing will be given the prisoner this
morning. 1t is not known yet who will
receive the reward offered

They Try to Arrest.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette ana journal
DOVER, Jan. 15.-A murderous assault
was made on Officers ;Milburne and Kin
namon, last evening, which aroused the
indignation of the greater part of
the citizens of the town. The above
named officers, accompanied by George
West went to Todd Row with a
warrant to arrest William Shockley, a
worthless negro, who knocked Mary Holt
days eye out some time ago. Several at
tempts have been made to arrest Shockley,
but each attempt proved fruitless.
IL was known that he was inside the
little hut and Officers Milbourne and West
were each stationed at window and KIM
namon at the door. Shockley was seen
through crack in the window and with
him were two women. He Immediately
forced open. As Officers Milbourne and
Kinnamon entered the hut the negro felled
them with an axe and made his escape.
The officers fell on the floor with severe
wounds.
They were brought up town to Squire
testers office, where medical aid was rem
dered. Mr.. Kinnamon received danger
ous cut on the head and was unconscious
for some time. Mr.. Milbourne was cut on
nv ~ aim anu iNS' my MouluS are
very dangerous. The axe which Shockley
used is a very sharp one and was found.
Shockley is a desperate negro who has
been in Jail most of the time there now
being II warrants out for his arrest. He
has made several threats and has said that
he would kill any officer who undertook to
arrest him. Sheriff Cole will probably try
to capture him to-day. The citizens were
very excited over the affair last night and
if the negro could been found he surely
would have been handled very rough
