THE PRISONER RELE1SEDl
Not Sufficient Evidence to Hold HinA Il
Stealing n Pocket-book.


Melvin Swan, colored, was before
Justice of the Peace Frank e. Smith,
Friday morning, charged by Joseph S.
Lenderman of Brandywine hundred,
with the larceny of o pocketbook con-
tanning $1S in money and papers valued
at 5000, also milk book which Lender
man lost Thursday morning near Sht,. =
pot bridge while on his way home frllso ~ y
this city. h;s
Mr.. Lenderman stated that while Ice
turning home from serving milk, in
dearborn wagon, he took off his owe
coat as he neared Shellpot bridge al
threw the coat in the back part of tier
vehicle. The pocket-book was in I'll,
overcoat, he said, when he doffed til <
garment, as was the milk book and sonol
valuable papers. In throwing the overces
coat into the wagon he thinks thu
pocket-book was allowed to fall upon
the ground. =
He continued on his journey an,s'
after he had gotten about 500 yardi,
from the spot where he thinks the pursdt
was lost he saw II colored boy approach
the spot, and suddenly the negro turned,
upon his heels and fed across the fields.
He recognized the person as Melvin
Swan. When he got home Mr.. Lender
man for the first time was apprised of
his loss and at once thought of the col,
ored boy whose mysterious actions i'm
pressed him as being the person who
had carried off the purse and milk book.
Mr.. Lenderman at once came to town
and secured the services of Detective
Hatton, who arrested Swan yesterday
afternoon at his home, No. 113S Eliza
beth street. The latter spent all night
in cell at the police station, and this
morning hearing was given him by
Squire Smith.
There was insufficient evidence to
hold Swan, and the result was he was
discharged with the understanding that
he could be rearrested at any time
should sufficient evidence develop to
connect him with the theft of the
pocket-book.
Mr.. Lenderman is distracted over his
loss which he says will amount to sew
eral hundred dollars. Besides the milk
book and purse he lost several negotia-
BILE checks and large number of re-
celpts, which in the event Of his failure
to find them may necessitate the pay
ment over again of the amounts con-
tanned in them. There were also in the
pocket t-book about dozen blank checks
of the National Bank of Wilmington
and Brandywine.

THE nENLoPEN wREcK.
1t Proves to be the Barge McClollau--N N
Lives Were Lost.


PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4.-"Wrecked
LAM particulars later" was the brief
telegram received at the Maritime Ex-
change yesterday afternoon. Secretary
Sherwood was busy sending and receiv-
ing kilograms.
1--WE have identified the lost steamer"
he said, "but she turns out to be barge
that was formerly steamer. have
just received telegram from the
Thames Towing Company which states
that all hands were saved and safely
landed at New Haven"
The steam tug Thames, with the Nc
Clellan in tow, left Lambert's Point,
Norfolk, Va, on Thursday last, bound
to New Haven with cargo of Poca-
hontas coal. On Saturday at o'clock
the crew of the barge signaed to the
tug that there was four feet of water in
the hold and the leak was increasing
Captain Masser replied that he would
send boat, which he did, and took off
the three men and boy.
At $50 p. IN. the tow rope parted and
the barge was then almost level with
the water. AT $50 she sank, Just nine
miles from Cape Henlopen.
The Mcclellan was formerly the
Clyde-built steamer Arkdale, and when
too old for service had her engines taken
out and was turned into coal barge
Her steamboat rig was retained, hence
the scare among the shipping fraternity.
The fact of the flag being flying was
accouted for by Munson, one of the
rescued men, who said they had hoisted
it to attract the tugs attention, but just
as the lifeboat was approaching, big
sea swept over the barge and nearly
filled her, so that they were in such q
hurry to get clear OF the foundering
vessel that the fact of the signal of dis
tress being still flying was forgotten.

Spaulding Telegraph Company, whose
line is to extend from Ogdensburg
southerly to New York, thence to Tren-
ton, N. j., and through the state of
Pennsylvania to Wilmington, Del, filed
a certificate OF incorporation with the

The company obtained franchise two

here among telegraph men is that it is a
plan to exploit the scheme and thus
make it of negotiable market value. 1t
is understood that the Spaulding instru-
ment is an automatic printing machine.
