FIFTH EDITION.


Says a Reading special of March 1885,
The farmers OF Berk5 and neighboi4ng
counties. in addition to several disap-
pointments with which they have pro-
Yiously met, have encountered another
dlscouragement. First they refused
tn sell their wheat last fall at Sl.lO a
bushel, and now 1t has dropped to 90
cents; some held on to their corn, and
1t has also fallen in price. and, while
many refused to sell their potatoes
last fall they are now being sold at %
and % cents.
The latest disappointment is the ar
nouncement OF cattle dealers that the
cattle market is overstocked. On ac-
count OF last years big corn crop
every farmer was advised to go into
the cattle raising business. They
bought lean animals. Weighing 800 to
500 pounds, at 81 to cents pound,
and lattened them on corn, expecting
that they would go up to ) and 8
cents. Instead the prevailing price Is
only and "a cents. and the farmers,
II Is believed, will make no money.
Many thousand of fat cattle are now
on the farms.

Wilmington Is not good place for
bunco steerars or shell game men, as
two of the latter will no doubt find
out before they get through. These
men came here from Philadelphia, and
opened out what Is known as the
''shell game" near Riverview Park,
where the shooting tournament is be-
ing held. The outfit is very simple,
and consists of piece OF board about
fifteen inches long. and six inches
wide. covered With muslin, under
meath which Ia some kind OF elastic
material. three half English walnut
sholls and a small ball. ...
The latter is placed on the board, and
the operator, after manipulating the
half shells around about minute,
places them on the board with one
over the bali. Mr.. verl Green, who
has been closely watching the modus
operandi is certain that he knows ex-
actly which shell conceals the bali,
and, consequently, when tho sharper
offers to bet IS that no one knows,
and produces the new note, he is read y
to pull the cork under and stake his V
with feeling of certainty, that he
viii soon posses pair. llo points 20
the shell, but, when the sharper lifts 1t
up, the ball Is not there, and the victim
10 five dollars poorer In pocket, and
not u bit wiser.
When the shell was lifted, IL Mr.. yeri
Green would have been permitted to
examine 1T he would have found that
it contained an adhesive substance to
which the ball was sticking. This bali
is composed OF very light material and
when the dealer places the shell over
1t he brings 1t down rather hard, whom
the elastic Substance on the board
causes it to lily to the top Of the she l.
where IL sticks. When the victims do
not lite fast enough II confederate
takes hand, and of course wins every
| time.

warrant before Squire Groves.
The case was called this morning,
and as Willis was not present an at
tachmept was issued for him. Four
or live other witnesses were heard,
and although their testimony was suf-
| ficent to hold the accused for court,
the Squire committed them in default
OF $1,000 bail ench. for n further hear
ing this afternoon, when it Is expected
