He Met One of the Clevorest 13S-Pound
Men in the Country and Fought Him
to II Draw.
In Henry's Theatre, Alexandria, Va,
Monday night, Mcconnell of this city
met Hite Peckham of Washington, d.
g., one Of the cleverest l3S-pound men
in the country, in contest Of 10 rounds
for purse of $500. Both men were in
good condition. The result was draw,
but Mcconnell acquitted himself with
great cleYerness, and won many opinions
that he is the superior man of the two.
The fight by rounds was as follows;
Flrst-Both men were sparring, try
ing to find each others weak points.
Peckham was doing most of the lead
ing. Honors easy at the end of the
round.
Second-Peckham still led and landed
some heavy blows on hlcConnells body.
Mac seemed the more distressed of the
two.
Third-Peckham landed again on
Mac, but never phazed the latter. Mac
gave PeGkham some hard blows in
fierce exchange.
Fourth-Mac lands several blows on
Peckham's chest, which were returned
with interest, and in the finish of this
round Peckham uppercuts Mac heavily
on the face. Mac got first blood in this
round.
Fifth-Peckham by clever lodging
avoided two very wicked blows, and in
a rattling exchange Mac had the best of
it, when his wind went back on him
and he was obliged to spar for time.
Sixth-This round was the best of
the fight, in which some of the tiercest
in-fghting was indulged in, and in a
sharp rally Peckham had the best of it
and again drew the claret from Mac.
Seventll-This was another very fast
round, in which Peckham again showed
his cleverness by keeping out of harms
way. Mac got Peckham's head in chan
Gerry and landed ON the head and chest.
Peckham kept playing for Macs wind.
Eighth--McConnel starts out to finish
Peckham and landed heavily on the
latter, and had the best Of the round.
Ninth-Fhis round was for blood,
and Peckham uppercut Mcconnell,
but the latter rallied, and in fierce
exchange time was called with honors
easy.
Tenth-Both men seemed to be wary
of each other in this round and were
simply playing to stay the limited num-
Der of rounds. After few exchanges
the bell sounded and the fight was de-
clared draw.
Mcconnell still announces his will
ingness to meet any 135-pound man in
this section of the country for stake
and purse.

A Nine -years-old Girl Comes All the Way
from Delmsr by Train--Set Down at a
Railroad Station Here.
Mary Hall, a bright-faced girl of nine
years, with large brown eyes and light
hair, is in the matron's room at the
police station, where she has remained
since Monday afternoon, while the
police are making every effort to find
her mother.
The girl formerly lived in Delmar.
Her father, railroad man, was killed
on the rail near Berlin, Md. The girls
mother moved to Delmar about three
months ago. A short time ago, the girl
says, her mother and three other chill
dren came to Wilmington to live. Mary
was left with Edward Gordy. A week
ago, Mary says, her mother wrote to
Mrs. Gordy to send her to Wilmington
and she would be at the train to meet
her: The girl was placed on the train
at Delmar Monday morning, with a
ticket for Wilmington. She made the
Journey alone and unattended. She was
sent to the City Hall, where Matrons
White and Wogan have since looked
after her. --..
On Tuesday ex-Speaker of the House
w. l.. Sirman of Delmar, called at the
police station and told Chief Dolan that
he knew the family when they lived at
Salisbury, but had not heard Of them
since their removal. He promised to aid
the authorities in finding the mother.
Chief of Police Dolan has succeeded
in learning by telegraph of the where.
abouts of Mrs. Hall, the mother,
who has been heard from in Paulsboro
N. j. She was to have met the child ai
the station here, but owing to mis-
understanding did not turn up. The
girl is awaiting her arrival.

Savage Assault During a Row at a
Colored Festival in Bridgeville.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette ana journal
BRIDGEvILLE, June 19.-The colored
people of this town and vicinity held a
picnic or festival Saturday night on the
A. NJ. L. Church grounds which ended
at midnight in terrible row. Razors,
knives, revoivers and clubs were
brought into use and though no one was
fatally injured many are now bearing
bruises and showing scars as the result
of the fracas.
During the height of the row Harry
Polk, a young mulatto, rushed to a
nearby woodpile where he secured an
axe. Into the crowd he ran, striking
right and left, with determination to
have revenge.
The crowd began to scatter, but
George Hill, colored man, remained
and blow from the axe caught him in
the side. He sank to the ground uncon-
scious, with three ribs broken, besides
other internal injuries. 1t is believed he
will recover.
Polk dropped the axe as soon as he
saw what he had done, and left for
parts unknown.

For a Wider Street WAY,

Superintendent Ware and the Street
and Sewer Directors desire to have the
street frontage on Shipiey street in front
of the new postofflce widened six feet.
The idea is not alone for appearance
sake, but for the more practical pur.
pose of allowing teams to stop in front
of the postotlice without interfering
with vehicular traffic as it exists now.
The proposition is favored in every di-
rection. The department in Washing
ton has to be consulted before anything
of the kind can be done, as the addi-
tIonal width would have to be taken
from the postottice frontage. 1t is stated
that Colonel Moore proposes to go to
Washington and see Senators Gray and
Higgins in regard to the matter. There
is no doubt were this accomplished it
would be of very great advantage.

Mention OF Dissolution strongly Opposed
bya Very Large Majority of the Tuesday
Club Members Present.
Owing perhaps TO the lateness of the
season there was not a quorum of the
Tuesday Club members present at the
annual meeting Monday evening. The
meeting however was Of very interest
ing nature.
One or two of those more prominently
connected with the active working Of
the club seemed to think that upon the
whole it would be better to discontinue
the work of the organization, at least
for the coming year. The great majority
of those present however was distinctly
and strongly opposed to any such dlsso.
luton of the club or indeed to any
material change in its present status.
1t was the distinct desire of almost all
of them that the club next year devote
its attention to the study of oratorio
music, to be rendered in the best style,
with an orchestra under the leadership
of DIR. Gilchfist
Final consideration of the question
was, however, referred to the board of
directors, TO whom the sense of the
meeting was to be conveyed. What the
outcome will be tits just now impossible
to tell. Any final action will have to be
deferred until the fall. In the meantime
it is possible that there will be thor
ough canvass among the active musi-
clans Of our community looking towards
such reorganization of the club as will
place it upon higher and flrmer plane
than even that high plane which it has
SO long occupied.

WILMINGTON DENTAL CoMPAsY.
Proposition to Take the Property Out of
the Hands of the Receiver--4in Excel
lent Bnsiness Report.

Proposition to Take the Property Out of
the Hands of the Receiver--An Excel
lent business Report.
A committee OF the stockholders of
the Wilmington Dental Go. has been ap-
pointed for the purpose of arranging
some method of taking the property out
of the hands of the receiver. The more
direct cause for this movement is the
good business outlook of the company,
its profits report for the past four
months and the fact that the concern is
pushed to its full capacity to fill orders.
Plans toward the accomplishment of
the project have been formulated by the
committee Of stockholders appointed for
the purpose, comprising II. f. Dure, E.
NJ. Hopes and j. Edward Addicks. The
committee reports the net assets Of the
company as over 100000. There is at
this time $4,000 of the common stock
of the company in the treasury unsold,
and syndicate of stockholders has
subscribed for this, and proposes to sell
it to the present stockholders at a re-
duced price in order TO raise the neces-
sary funds. Circulars have already been
sent out, and every stockholder will be
permitted to subscribe for one share of
the new issue for every three of his
present holding.
The committee reports having re-
ceived a statement from the receiver
last week showing the estimated profits
of the company for the first four months
of this year as about $4,000. The
officers of the company think the July
profits will show much larger rate OF
profit.

Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
Dover, June 19.-rhc six tramps
who engaged in drunken row near
the railroad station about 10 o'clock
Sunday night were arraigned before
Squire Cooper yesterday afternoon after
lying in Jail several hours to sober up.
1t seems that German cobbler of this
town, with about $45 in his pockets,
started out on a spree, Saturday even
ing, and fell in with the five tramps
near the depot. They bought more
whisky than they could drink and
began fighting among themselves.
Several pistol shots were fired, but none
OF the fighters was hurt. The one who
claims TO have two bullets in his head is
insane and cannot be caught by the off,
GERS. He was lodged in Jail last week.
Hesaid he was quite wealthy and at
one time owned the greater part of the
town. The five who were captured by
officer Pleasanton were fined So and
costs for disorderly conduct, but being
unable to pay their fine were remanded
TO jail. The German cobbler found him
self in sad predicament when he
sobered. His new acquaintance had
spent all of his S45 and stripped him
OF almost all of his clothing.
Henry Davis of Hartley appeared
before Squire Cooper, yesterday, with
his head entirely covered with bandages.
Three men attacked him, Saturday
night, in Hartley and almost killed him.
Two of the assailants held their victim
while the other kicked and stamped his
head. He presented a pitiful sight. The
assault was the outcome of an old
grudge.
The Rev. j. B. Turner of Altoona,
Pa, preached in the Presbyterian
Church here, Sunday, and made quite
favorable impression.
The farmers in this section are very
busy in wheat harvest at present.

much interested in the project of having
fine national flag for the home. Some
kind friends have commenced gathering
Scent subscriptions for the purpose.
The proposition is to have flag ready
for the Fourth.
