How a watch Was Recovered. Q

inlCorrespondence Of Gazette and Journal
New CASTLE. Sept. IA mystery of two
years Standing, and one that has puzzled
the brains of one citizen at least for that
time, was brought to light yesterday.
About two years ago. during the shad fish.
ing season, Robert Wadsbey. fisherman,
laid down one night in the fish shanty on
the wharf for few hours sleep. He had
ON his person valuable gold repeating
watch. When he awoke ii was gone. He
at first thought It had been taken as a joke
by some of his friends, but after spending
all the morning trying to find it he came
to the conclusion it had been stolen. For
weeks he searched and made inquiries
everywhere. but in vain, and finally gave
up the search as hopeless. Last sunday,
while talking with a man from Delaware
City. the conversation turned on watches,
and the man casually remarked that
a friend of his. Howard Shultz, had a
fine gold watch and proceeded to describe
it to Wadsley. The latter al once recog-
nized the description as that Of his own
property, and this, coupled with the fact
that Shultz was a resident of this city
when the watch was lost aroused his sus.
picions. The next day he went to the
house of Shultz and demanded his watch.
1t was handed over by Shultz's mother,
Shultz being absent. without word OF
protest. Mr.. Wadsley then decided to
make no further trouble about it, but
changed his mind, and yesterday, with
the assistance of two constables who went
to Delaware City. Shultz was placed under
arrest and brought to this dity, where ht
was formerly well-known. His trial will
take place at the September term of court

THE MU1LEN-MoRIARITY MATCH.
Mullen on Saturday Refused to Sign--The
Match ofilcially Declared on by the w.

Match ofilcially Declared on by the w.
A. @. Authorities.
Last Saturday Frank Mullen refused to
sign for the match with Moriarity arranged
to come off at the Warren gymnasium on
on Thursday, September 14th. Both men
had their money placed, Moriarity's hav-
ing been deposited at $50 a. m. on Friday.
The amount placed in the Shareholders
hands by each man was $50.
1t is understood that Mullen's reason for
the course he has adopted is that the
Warren Athletic Club insists on fis right
TO name the referee. Mullen wants to
name the referee himself The Warren
therefore refuses to sign articles for the
contest. Late in the afternoon it was an
nounced that the W. A. c., has declared
