the pretty china closet. The chocolate pot,
which Is OF every design and shape, can

The GRAHAM LIFE INSURANCE.
There has been considerable discussion
in regard to the payment of the
insurance on the life of Hiett Graham
of New Castle, who was lost overheard
Monday week, and whose body has
not been recovered. The amount of
insurance is variously stated. Some
persons putting it at $4,000, while
others, some insurance men, say it is
for much larger sum. The disputed
point is whether the insurance can be
paid without producing the body as
proof of the death of the insured.
BURGLARS SENT To JAIL.-On Satur-
day morning Detective Witsil took
Edward Bennett and John Mitchell to
Bridgeville fortrial before the justice of

bing the store of Ball & Cleaver at that

Baltimore with some of the stolen goods
in their possession. They waived a
hearing when they were arraigned and
were taken to Georgetown Jail to await
trial at the next term of court. Nit
chell is but 20 years old and has the
appearance of not being very strong in
mind. Bennett seems to be an old cul-
prit, he has been sailor and made quite
a reputation, it is said, deserting vessels
after he had shipped with the captains
and received some money in advance.
