While He Is Asleep.

About 3 o'clock this morning Mrs.
Clara A. Pitt, residing on Head street,
near b. South Wilmington, made an
attempt to kill her husband by cutting
his throat while he was asleep. The
weapon used was a razor and she sue
ceeded in iniiicting a cash about 4
Inches long, and the man thus rudely
awakened from his slumber, called for
help, when Nh. Beardsley, his next
door neighbor, responded. In the
meantime the woman ran to q pond
some feet deep, a short distance
from the mouse, aud jumped In with
the intention OF committing suicide,
MIR. Beardsley followed and succeeded
In pulling her out.
Pitt then came over the bridge and
went to DR.. PattersOn's Office on King
street above Seventh, where the cash
Was drawn together with stitches.
While he was gone, Mr.. Beardsley no.

stated that Matthew Goslin, of Will
mington, offered him his pension pa
pers a. security for loan, and he did
not know that receiving them was q
violation OF the law. The amount Cos
lin owed was So "2. Judge Wales
took notice OF the fav. that Harrington
being ignorant of the-law, was guilty
of no Intentional violation OF the law,
aud sentenced him TO pay fine OF
$40 and the costs of prosecution.

who We're witnesses to the Frisby pa
pers, and stated that they desired to

THREE MORE ARRESTS.

One Of the Barn-Burners becomes a
Witness for the State-SensatIonal
Developments. ....
About IL O'Clock this morning a Will
mington transfer coach drove up to
Squire Sasse's Office, aud three men in
charge OF detective, alighted. These
were William Gibbons, James Moore
and Eugene Brown. They were each
charged with being implicated in the
burning of the DuPonts' barns.
IL was however understood that
Moore had decided to give evidence
Tor the State, and when William Glib
bons was called he testified that he
had been intimately acquainted with
him and the Clarks. lie heard the
plot made TO burn the DuPonts' barns,
He said that Gibbons told him that
he had set tire to one of the barns, and
that the DuPonts ought to be burned.
One day, when the witness was work
ing with him, the accused said that he
knew all about tho burnlngs, and was
concerned in them.
Detective Lynch testified that he
heard the accused say that the DuPonts
were -- and that he would like to
light fuse under the head book 4eep-
Ell and blow him to -. lie also
told the witness that he had talked
with Ned Clark about the burnings.
and that he was in favor OF start ny
another fife this fall, while the ground
was covered with leaves. The accused
told the witness that Clark said he
would be willing to start the fire.
The examination was conducted by
Attorney General Dlggs, and at his re-
| quest, the accused was committed in
default of $1,000 bail on "a charge OF
i AZ l.
toward the firm OF DuPonts.
Eugene Burns was the next tried
and james Moore testified that he has
known him Tor he last Is years. The
night that the Fleming barn was burn
ed, on the property OF the DuPonts'
he heard him say that he had set fire to
| IL. He said that he threw lighted
match In the window where there was
u lot OF hay, and the witness said to
him that IL was too bad SO many cattle
were burned.
lie replied that he did not care, as 1t
only hurt the DuPonts'.
| When the witness had finished his
| testimony the accused turned toward
him, aud in solemn manner said:
Mr.. Moore, you know as true ms
you stand on this floor and there is a
God above you, that never told you
anything such as you have testified to
| am an innocent man, anu you have
been paid money to come here and
lie"
The accused was committed in de.
fault CT 20, 900 bail to answer at court.
This finished the cases for this morn
ing, but IT Is understood that a mum,
Der more will be arrested. The sls.
pected parties are under the eyes OF
the detectives and could not leave the
city even II they wished to.

ed about and Mrs. Clark informed them
that II they didn't like the neighbour
hood they could move away, as her
family could purchase tho whole row
OF houses II they wanted them. At
this time the Clarks had become very
thick with the detectives and had
plenty OF money.
complaint was made to the chief of
police about the noise, and the Clarks
soon afterwards moved away to the
Columbia Inn. When Mr.. Carpenter
heard that the Clarks were about NOV
ing he went to them and wanted to
know II they were going to hold on to
the house. They said yes, as they
were Just going to move to the Col
umbia Inn, where they expected to do
a good business, and Instead of paying
him $3.50 month they would pay $40
a week.
This promise they carried out. Mr..
Carpenter thought that Clark worked
in Philadelphia, but he knew nothing
OF the detectives.
Messrs. Turner and Hilles have not
positively engaged to defend the
Clarks yet, and as the November court
IL SO near at hand 1t Is not likely o
habeas corpus will be applied for.
