The Brunswick, Ga, Times has this
devil fish yarn; Monday morning, while
Col. Goodyear's crew were on the bar
and a big charge of dynamite was being
raised from the briny depths on account
OF faulty cap, which would not ex-
plode, the workers suddenly expert
enced a pulling of the lines which were
attached to it. Almost instantly ter
rible commotion was heard in the waters.
and the spray began to rise above the
little boat like immense waves. Sud.
denly the two workmen who were in a
small boat were amazed to see the ten
tacles OF monster devil fish soaring 30
feet in the air. The foaming sea was
about to engulf the little craft when the
party in the large boat observed the
commotion. The touch of an electric
button would have ended the monster.
but the cap had been tried, and the only
way to save them was to cut the wire
connection and the ropes, which was soon
done, and the terror of the seas, after
lashing around short while, disap.
peared, much to the relief of the party.
The thrilling experience, as related by
several gentlemen who were in the
party, is indeed marvellous. No such
was ever seen by them before, and they
all wonder how the two men ever escaped
from Its awful clutches.

A Hard storm Breaks a Drought.

CHEsrERTowN, Nd, July 20.--The pro-
longed dry spell, which has existed in sec
tons of Kent county for some weeks, was
broken by copious general rains yesterday
afternoon and last night The storm did
considerable damage in some sections.
Mr.. Charles McClary. on the Wilmer farm
in Morgan's Greek Neck, had ii sheep killed
and two badly injured. Mr.. Harry Davis,
living near Still Pond. had valuable mare
and colt killed by lightning while in the
pasture, and the barn on the William
McKenney farm, near Millington, was set
OIL fire by lightning and was totally de-
stroyed and one horse slightly injured.
Telephone poles were blown down by the
high wind, and in Galena shade trees were
twisted off and blown across the streets,
requiring an hour 70 clear away the debris
before travel could be resumed. The rain
was of inestimaole benefit to corn, grass,
and other growing crops throughout the
county.

DELAW4RE DAY SETTLED ON.

So Says State Commissioner Conrad This
Morning. and the Day is Wednesday,
August 23d.
State Commissioner of the Worlds Fair
Henry 9. Conrad, informed a representa-
tive of GAZETTE Il JOURNAL to day, that the
matter of Delaware Day has been talked
of by the State and national commission
ers at Chicago. II was decided to celebrate
a day. to be known as Delaware Day, on
Wednesday, August 23d, which is the same
day as that set for West Virginia. Those
representing Delaware at this conference
were State Commissioners George W.
Emery and Mrs. Caleb Churchman and
National Commissioner George v. Massey.
As far as has been heard from, this
meets with the approval of the State board
here and steps will be taken at once to ar
range for the celebration of that day,
Commissioner Conrad, on being asked
what definite forms those steps will proba-
bly, take, replied that Mr.. Massey will be
i'll Wilmington in day or two and that
after conference with him matters will
assume definite form.
II IS probable that some special train ar
rangements will be effected in order that
people from here may attend on Delaware
Day.
The selection of August sd as Delaware
Day was made public exclusively in the
GAZETTE d. JOURNALS Worlds Fair special
correspondence several weeks ago. At that
time. however, the State Commissioners
and others here were disposed to doubt the
| correctness of the announcement, having
no official knowledge of the selection OF
| the date. The correctness of GAZETTE a
JOURNALS announcement is now officially
verified

pIsrnaINnp rnr WRONG GOODS.

County Constable Dennis Levied on the
Landlords Effects Instead OF tho Ten
ants.
Mrs. Ellen Calvin, who lives at No.
709 West Second street, claims TO have
had no end of trouble with her tenants
the past few weeks and in order TO OBJ
tain the rent due her sought the advice
Of Justice of tho Peace @. II. McWhor-
ter, who two weeks ago placed a landlords
warrant in the hands OF County Con
stable Zacbariah Dennis, with instruc-
tlons to make a dlstraint on the goods or
get security for the rent, amounting to
$32 The tenant is James Johnson
Dennis went to the house, but subse.
quently returned and reported TO the
justice that 1t was useless to make dis
traint, as the tenants had promised TO
pay the money en- the following morn
Ing. The landlady occupies room In
the house and when her rent was not
forthcoming she again appealed to the
justice. Justice McWhorter second
time dispatched the constable TO make a
levy on the goods, but tho latter re-
ported he could not get in.
Arrangements were then made by
Justice McWhorterto have the landlady
sitting in the doorway when the con-
stable appeared, so that he would have
no difficulty in going in and max
ing distraint. Justice McWhorter
says the constable went to the
house, but Instead of leyying on the
goods he devoted his time to con-
vincing the landlady that the money
was all safe and soon would be paid.
He said the reason he did not make the
distraint was owing to the fact that one
of the women in the house yelled "mur-
der" He reported matters to Justice
McWhorter and the justice commanded
him to go distrain the goods and re-
move them to an auction room at all
hazards. Instead of doing 80, Justice
McWhorter says, Dennis made a dis
traint on the landlady's goods, and as
soon as the tenants got wind of his In
tended action they quickly removed
their goods from the house and secreted
them from the constable's grasp.
Mrs. Calvin is angry. She accuses
Dennis with being in league with the
tenants and in Justice McWhorter's
office charged the constable with in
fatuation with young lady living in
the house, which she assigned as sutfi.
cient reason for his alleged dereliction.
The landlady has signitied her intsn.
ton of bringing suit against her tenants
for assault and battery, which she
alleges occurred in her house last Sun
day week, and there is no telling where
the trouble will end.

The supper was a somewhat solemn
occasion. Mr.. Prickett of the Law and

summarily frowned down. Everyone reg

that hospitable resort 1t was discovered by
some curious person who happened to be

what the guests had signed their names

hotel, but tablet ut the head Of which
was a superscription petitioning the

The latest appointment is that of City

Duluth, Mimi, or Washington. ID. @. OF
course it will be necessary for him to first
pass the civil service examination required

There Was Little Inclination to Invest
in City Property Friday Morning ana
Attorney Adjourned the Sale.
The big sale of real estate belonging to
the late Col. Peter Mccullough at thecourt
house Friday morning was not success.
There was a large crowd present, includ.
ing some of the Invest real estate men OF
the city. But there seemed to be little in
clination to make purchases. Property
after property was put up without success,
often without bidder. At length Attor-
ney w. s. Prickett, who had chargeof the
sale, announced that il would be postponed
TO future and more favorable occasion.
The sale was on order of the orphans
court, to pay debts.
Among them was a half interest in the
Mccullough Building, northwest corner of
Fifth and Walnut streets. This is the
structure put up just after the war by
Colonel Peter Mccullough, Second RegI.
lnent, Delaware Infantry. The shoe fac
tory was very successful venture. 1t was
not the FIRST however, of its kind built in
Wilmington. Joseph Bickta put up his
factory at Third and Orange streets, now a
stable, and harvested a good fortune max
ing shoes for the soldiers during the war.
The half interest in the Mccullough
Building is the half belonging to Colonel
MCCULLOUGH Mrs. Mccullough, the
widow, retains her half interest.
The first lot put up was Nos. 5, 6, Z, s. 8
Queen street. The houses wers withdrawn
following bid of $3.50 for each house.
Then a lot on the east side OF Locust street,
IS feet inches by los feet was Withdrawn.
Next came No. lily Lobdell street, also
withdrawn. The plot at Thirteenth and
West streets, 26xl45 feet was withdrawn at
SIS per foot front. The first sale made was
of No. 2O4 Madison street, purchased by
Philip G. Plunkett for 81, go.
Then plot Of 81 acres just outside town,
on the Kennett pike, this side OF the
Columbia Inn, of du Pont conspiracy
fame was struggled with. The sum
of 5000 was offered Mr.. Prickett,
standing in the centre of one of the big
court house spittoon trays, his russell
shoes making gentle color contrast to the
box's contents, exclaimed that the prop
erty is just outside the city limits, with all
the benefits and none of the burthens OF
city taxation. The attorneys urgent
| pleadings did not loose the bidders
tongues, and the plot was withdrawn at
81, 800.
Then the brick stable, No. GOT Wollaston
street was withdrawn at 5000
Mr.. Prickett, then quite tired out, an
nonnced that on account of the apparent
Discrimination Of bidders the sale would be
! put OFF to future date.
