name Of Michael O'I.eary aud requested e
arrest another tramp by the name Of Jane;
Carroll who claimed Carroll had stolen !
pair Of pants from him in the neighborhood
Of Milford. He took the pants of Of 0 'LearJ
while he was asleep, so he claims. Mr.
Powell found Carroll little ways above here
on the railroad and arrested him. Carol
Immediately showed fight; threatening K
shoot the constable, but Powell grabbed
him and threw him; but Carroll being the
superior man in strength Powell could no
hold him down. Mr.. Powell then drew hi:
pistol, threatening to shoot if he did not e
with him. Carroll had no pistol or there is
no telling what the consequences might have
been. He was brought before Esquire
Clark and committed to Dover jail to an
swer to the Octoser term of court. Carroll
is one Of the toughest characters seen in THU
section for long while.

Two young men, John Hands and Richard
Reed, coming into town last night discovered
building on FIRE. They naturally sounded
the alarm of FIRE. About that time locom-
olive, which remains over here at night
gave blast after blast, which aroused the
neighbors in the vicinity. The ERE, though
very dangerous, was not disastrous. The
people responded to the alarm and soon got
control of the couhagration. The building
adjoining took FIRE only few weeks ago. It
seems as if this is an unfortunate corner.
