HOT FIGHT ON THE TANGIER
The Largest Bugeye on the
Chesapeake Taken.
A BOLD ATTEMPT AT RECAPTURE
Beaten by Shot From Cannon
and Winchesters.
The Grew of the Nellie jackson Have
Sharp Conflict With Illegal Dredgers in
Tangier Sound, and Capture the Largest
Bugeye on Chesapeake Bay--An Excit-
ing Fight.

SALISBURY, Nd, March 7.-The crew
of the Nellie jackson had another
,liyely skirmish in Tangier sound last
Monday night, and after hot pursuit,
in which the cannon and Winchesters
Of the jackson played havoc with the
fleeing boat, it was captured.
The police late at night found boat
which seemed to be dredging off Halls
bar. The jackson bore down on her
and she squared away down Tangier
sound. In the long chase which fol-
lowed the dredgcr refused to surrender
until the hot firing of the jackson com.
PEELED the man at the wheel to abandon
his post and seek refuge below.
The dredger was the bugeye. Iva
Leonard, commanded by Captain Price.
Captain Price, under orders, started
with his vessel to DANES Quarter wharf,
the jackson following closely, but in
stead of continuing his course he tackled
in close to Rock creek, and in the dark
ness jumped into the yawl, left the bug
eye in charge of his crew and escaped
TO the, shore. Two men of the jack
sons crew were put ON board and the
bugeye was steered to Mt. Vernon wharf.
The next day before Justice Grosscup
the crew admitted having dredged at
night and were taken to Princess Anne
Jail to await trial at theme term of the
circuit court as States witnesses. Acting
under orders from the States attorney
the police ran the Leonard aground high
and dry and stripped her sails. Three
men were put aboard to prevent her
from being tioated at night. On Thurs.
day night II men came down and at
tempted to take the boat, but were re-
pulsed by the men on board, who were
armed.
The boat is owned by John Tyler of
Rock Greek, and she is the largest bug
eye on the bay. She cost nearly $4,000.
Two hundred and fifty bushels of
oysters, which had not been culled,
l were found on deck when she was cap
tured, and in the hold were 500 bushels
more. The crew said the oysters in the
hold were caught in the Potomac, but
that those on deck were taken from
Halls bar.
The samson-post of the bugeye was
carried away by shot from the cannon
of the Jackson, and three holes were
made through the wheel-box by the
bullets from the Winchesters before
Captain Price surrendered.
The penalty for night dredging is $500
fine and Imprisonment in the House of
Correction. Captain Price has not been
arrested, but writs have been issued.

Waiter McGinnis Arrested on a Grave
Charge-Dover Local and Personal
Notes.
Special Correspondence Of tazettoand journal
DOVER, March 12.-Detective McVey
was here Yesterday and arrested Walter
McGinnis upon suspicion Of being con-
cerned in the death of Lula Reed, who
died Thursday morning. The Young
girl has borne questionable character
Tor some time and was about to give
birth to q child when her death oc-
Cured. 1t was rumored that McGinnis
had been intimate with her for some
time and had given her an orange
which contained some drug the night
before her death. 1t was upon this
rumor that young McGinnis was ar
rested and lodged in Jail. The girl died
at her fathers home Thursday morning,
after having about 30convulsions. The
body will be exhumed tomorrow and
examined.
A lively scene occurred ON LOCKER
man street about IL o'clock, Saturday
night. A crowd of negroes were coming
up the street from the depot when they
met few white men near Queen street.
From what can be learned it seems that
the negroes refused to give any room on
the pavement and even knocked the hat
of OF one of the white men. A general
fight ensued with fists and clubs, which
lasted some time. Finally parties on
both sides began firing revolvers. While
this was going on the inmates of the
houses. in the vicinity were badlyscared
and the women began yelling murder"
One young lady was endeavoring to
prevent her brother from firing into the
mob with double-barrel shotgun
when three bullets whizzed by her
head. il was after midnight when the
gang dispersed. Parties Of both sides
hid behind trees and G.. S. Pennewill's
lumber for quite while, cursing and
shooting at each other. The police were
on the scene after it occurred, but were
unable to do anything at all. 1t is not
known that any of the parties were seri-
ously hurt, but from the number of
shots fired it is like miracle that sew
eral were not killed. Some bullets were
found lmbcdded in the adjacent build
ings yesterday.

ROME, March Slight persons were
seriously wounded, two probably
fatally, by the terrific explosion of an
Anarchist bomb in front OF the Hall OF
Deputies at 6 o'clock this evening.
High explosives had been used, for
hundreds of windows in the vicinity
were shattered. Two men and two
women are under arrest on suspicion of
being implicated in the dasta-dly plot,
the purpose Of which undoubtedly was
TO blow up the Parliamentary Building.
The explosion rcsombled the cietona-
ton of q large cannon, and startled
everybody in the vicinity of the Cham
ber Of Deputies. Persons were hurled to
the ground by the force of the explo-
sion, while others, able to keep their
feet, ran in all directions in their en-
deavors to escape they know not what.
When tie excitement had somnwh hat
subsidized, the fact was realized that
bomb had been exploded in front CT tho
Camera Di Deputati, wherein tao Sit
tings'of the Chamber of Deputies arc
held, AT the scene of the explosion
ratings were twisted. heavy stoaes
moved from their places and many ev;-
dehces of the tremendous power Of tie
explosives were apparent Many OF
those injured were eui By fragments Of
broken glass, while others were hurt by
being thrown yioisE,ls 10 the ground or
against buildings, stonnwork, 30
Immediately after the explosion uoops
were poured in great umbsrs into tho
Piazza di Citorio, and the s,reets lead
ing 20 this opeE space before the Fssia-
mentary Building. This evening sill the
streets lin the neighborhood are doubly
patrolled.
The city is in great excitement to-
night 1t is said that the police have
obtained valuable information from one
of the men taken into custody, and that
the authorities are in poss; ssion of evil
dence which would seem to point to
widespread conspiracy to cause ex-
plosions In Rome.
The bomb was concealed in an old
silk hat. The fragments indicate that
the explosives had been loaded into tin
box, about large enough TO fill the hat
crown. A deep hole was torn in the
grouud, and the pavement for q hundred
yards from the spot was strewn with
glass.

NEW TELEPHONE CARDS,
An Invention That VIII Prove of Grea
Benefit to Subscribers.


Albert A. Cobb of this city, is now
canvassinp the subscribers of the Will
mington telephone system with an i'm
proved telephone card designed to super
sede thelarge and cumbersome card now
in use. The device is the invention of
his father, II. b. Cobb, and application
has been made for letters patent.
The new arrangement consists of a
neat wooden case, about 10x12 inches,
which can be attached to the wall be-
side the phone, with the opening of the
case downward. Within the case are
fitted cards, bearing the names and
numbers of the telephone subscribers.
These names are arranged alphabet
cally on the cards, and each card is
marked at the bottom with its proper
letter, so that when a subscriber is de-
sired it can be seen at glance upon
which card the name appears. Firmly
secured to each card is a small brass
ring, by which the card can be drawn
down until all the names are in view,
and upon being released at once flies
back to its proper place.
In addition to the numbers and names
of subscribers, the cards impart other

mington postoffice, giving the hours Of
arrival and departure OF all mails. Card
9, the w. &c N. railroad timetable.
Card ID, the Wilmington banks, their
officers and discount days. Card EFF,
the police and fire alarm boxes, their
numbers and locations. Card G, list
of special phones in use. Gard XII, the
steamboat timetables. Card OP, a seat
plan of the Grand Opera House, for
guidance in ordering seats for any enter
tainment by telephone. Gard OR, the b.
& o. railroad timetable. Card Wv, the
Pennsylvania railroad time table.
The last card in the case contains an
ingenuously arranged index, designed
to indicate the name of subscriber
when only the number of the telephone
is known. For instance, given the
number 260, and the remark following
it will be "C-1," meaning that No. 260
will be found on q card, first column.
AS there are not many names on each
card, this plan works very acceptably,
and thus overcomes a difficulty that all
users of the telephone have frequently
had to contend with, as to pick out
given number on the large cards now
in use is tedious and delaying task.
The cards will be changed twice a
year An official list of subscribers will
be furnished by the officers of the tele.
phone exchange who have seen Mr..
Cobb's invention and given it their
hearty approval. The new cards will
probably be ready within month from
date.

The committee on printing was author
lied to have 1900 reports printed for
distribution in the public schools. q
On motion of Mr.. Baynard the proper
committee was authorized to sign petit
ton for putting down curb on Sixteenth
street, as it would be an advantage to
the pupils attending No. "a school.
DR.. Morgan offered motion that
every student be required to write an
essay or composition, not to exceed 600
words, previous to graduation.
Mr.. Turner objected to the motion,
stating that he had son who expected
to graduate and he did not think that an
essay of 600 words should stand between
student and graduation. "
Superintendent Harlan was called
upon for his views upon the subject.
He said it was desirable for the pupils
to write an essay before graduation, as
it would prove the efficiency of the
pupil at the conclusion of his work.
lie thought the essay ought to be limited
to 900 words.
President Baird did think the compo-
sition necessary. He did not think 1t
ought to be compulsory. The board
might as well say the pupil should not
graduate without writing a thesis on
arithmetic or any other branch of study
He thought the matter should be left
with the teachers.
Mr.. Coyle was opposed to the motion.
He did not think mere tumble of
words should stand between the pupil
and graduation.
The board finally adopted the motion
to compel all pupils to write compost
ton before permission was given to
graduate at the high school.
