STORIES OF The DAY.
Have to Guard "a Pennsgrove Man.

"Yes. every business has its draw
backs" said the keeper of boat house
yesterday afternoon TO an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter, who had Just hired
fishing skiff for an hours row on the
Christiana. "For instance, yesterday
afternoon, two young fellows came here
and hired for an hour the boat yeu are
in. The whole afternoon went by and
they did not return. This morning we
found the boat away up by the railroad
bridge The oars and oar-locks We're
gone and we have never found them.
The boat was bottom up on an old barge
up there.
"a boy came down here a day or two
ago and hired a boat. He had not been
ont more than half an hour before he
came in with this oar broken in half.
But that is not the worst What we
hate and have TO guard against is the
Pennsgrove fend. Two fellows will
come here and hire boat for an hour
They will row down the creek apiece
take in three or four fellows and row to
Pennsgrove, New Jersey. There they
will leave the boat and come back Oh the
steamer. Then we have TO go for it or
lose it. That is what ruillss the God
like serenity of the boat house keeper
When we suspect any such intention we
do one of three things-compel them to
90 up the creek take one of our men
with them or tell them we have no boats
to hire. When Pennsgrove is in the
question we consider lie Of that kind
perfectly justiiable
The reporter rowed up the stream.

The Mysterious Catswamp.

How many of the 300 900 people Of
New Castle county have not heard of
"Catswamp2' and how few of the per
sons who have, know where the place is
situated2 One could not find it in
week although in it all the time.
Catswamp is the unlovely name Of
prosperous farming region on the
boundary line partly in New Castle
county, and partly in Cecil county
Md, or almost two miles from
Newark. The swamp that once justified
one syllable Of the name has nearly dis
appeared under the influence Of agricul
tural drainage, and even most Of the
local inhabitants have lost the tradition
that accounts for the other syllable. The
region was once a dense swamp infested
with wildcats ard the name has clung
long after the reason for it has disap
peared
Stanley in Africa was never so much
in doubt as visitor to Catswamp
When the former arrived at place he
was there but when the latter reaches
Catswamp he is not there. The reason
for this is that on reaching the vicinity
named in the foregoing inquire of a
resident and he will say "My next
neighbor lives in Catswamp" Go 90 the
next neighbor" and he will make the
same answer, and so on until the ex-
plorer is at the place he started, none
the wiser for his attempt at locating

Beniah Watson is United States dis
trict attorney for the district Of Della
ware He Is also one Of Senator Anthony
Higgins's ablest lieutenants, and,what he
does not know about practical politics
and the manipulation Of the colored vote
of Todd Row and Hogs Eye in East
Dover hundred is not worth knowing
He made quite a reputation for himself
during the last political campaign, and
eXereised his best efforts to secure the
conviction Of the Democratic regisira-
tion and election officers arrested by
Marshal Mahaify aud his minions and
held in big bail by Chief Supervisor
Macallister acting under the odious
Federal Election laws.

with Mr.. Watson and his political
intrigues have wondered why he has not
been removed and Democrat appointed
to succeed him Alexander b. Cooper

partisan that Mr.. Watson has shown
himself to be.

time. Save your money, for the politi.
cal guillotine is striking of heads all
around you, and you don't know how
soon yours will drop into the basket
Beniah has not mentioned russell shoes
since that time. He seems TO feel the
force Of the argument that man whe
is about to retire to the shades Of private
life has no need Of bothering himself with
the foibles of fashion
