were soon seen steaming down the river
on the work-boat Ella W. Grim. Owing
to the strong tide and heavy wind one
of the large pile drivers stationed on the
jetty had dragged her anchors and the
watchmen, fearing that she would be
sunk by the powerful current and heavy
seas, notified the crew by blowing the
whistle. They arrived just in the nick
Of time and with the assistance OF a tug
the machine was placed in a safe posi-

this morning.
The Jail commissioners met last night
and awarded the contracts for jail coal.
The lowest bidders were Harold Sudell,

Company, of Wilmington. About 100
tons in all were ordered. The contract
price per ton was not made public.
An original ground hog, an animal
which is very rarely seen in this
vicinity, was captured near the railroad
station yesterday morning. Where it
came from is mystery, but many sup
pose that it jumped from one of the cars
loaded with iron which arrived here
from western Pennsylvania. The hog is
larger than an opossum, its fur resembles
that of rabbit and it is as fat as 1t can
be. 1t snaps at everything in its path.
The animal will be stuffed and presented
to the ground hog club.

DELAWARE CITY.


DELAWARE CITY, Aug. 13.-A heavy
storm visited Delaware City on Tuesday
evening. The streets were flooded with
the rain, which came in torrents. A
house owned by Mrs. Scane, and occu-
pied by Mr.. Brister, was struck by light
ming, which entered at the chimney and
followed down the flue into the kitchen,
where it played havoc with the kitchen
range. Luckily no person was injured.
Arthur Colburn and daughter sailed
from Antwerp for Philadelphia on Sat-
urday, August 8th, on the steamship
Westernland, and may be expected to
arrive home about the middle Of next
week.
DELAWARE Cry, Aug. 15.-A Young
colored girl named Bertha Jane jack
son, about Ia years of age, living with
her mother near ST. Georges, was ar
rested yesterday on charge Of having
poisoned her mother by putting rough
on rats in her meal She had her pre-
liminary trial before Squire Sutton Of.
ST. Georges, and was placed in the Gus
tody of Constable Clark to be committed
20 New Castle Jail to await the action of
the grand jury. She was placed in the
lookup in Delaware City for safe keep
ing until this morning, when she was
taken to New Castle. But little hopes
are given of her mothers recovery.
Ante norton testimony was taken by
Squire Jester, and evidence was given
showing that the accused had, in fit of
anger, threatened to poison the whole
family. The druggist testified that the
girl had purchased the poison. A little
boy in the family was also so sick that
his life was despaired of.

Exchanges all over the country are
coming in with editorials denouncing
the growing habit Of the druggist and
merchant Of palming off a substitute
for the article asked for BY customer"
We readily concur in the generally ex-
pressed opinion that the druggist or
merchant who Systematically pursues
this underhand method of pervertinE to
his own protit, and to his customers
disadvantage, the rightful due of the
manufacturer of a standard article, is a
pretty mean specimen of humanity; but
do not think there is much reason for
complaint on this score in Wilmington.
Our druggists and dealers generally are,
rs rule, always ready TO accommodate
their customers with the very article
they call for-frequently Offering to
send out and get for them any standard
remedy Or article Of manufacture they
may not have in stock-while the Gus
toner himself, knowing that if he can
not find what he wants at one place he
is likely 70 do 50 at another, would be
under little temptation, in city Of this
size, to take m inferior substitute even
should the dealer urge him to do so.

here yesterday that William Layton,
brother Of Garrett S. Layton, of Sussex
county, died at his home in Bridgeville
Saturday afternoon, from the effects of
an overdose of laulanum which he had
taken on the day before with the inten-
ton Of committing suicide. After talk
ing the drug he fell into deep slumber
from which 1t was impossible to arouse
him. Medical aid was summoned but
all efforts failed. He had frequently
threatened TO take his life but his family
did not believe he would make the at
tempt. The deceased was about 81
years old and leaves wife and seven
children nearly all Of whom are married
No reason can be assigned for his
strange act. The remains were inferred
