Remains of nm Unknown Man Found IL
the Delaware River Sunday.

the Delaware River Sunday.
The body of man, apparently so
years OF age, was found floating In the
Delaware river, near Grubb's Landing,
Sunday. His identity has not been
established and there have been no
inquiries concerning him received by
the officials here.
The presumption is that he lived Ia
Philadelphia, as Kensington pawn
ticket was found in one of his pockets.
He was dressed in light gray trousers,
blue coat, checkered shirt and rough
boots. Two cents and pair of eye
glasses were also found in his clothing.
When found the body was very much
decomposed and it had evidently been
in the water for some time.
Deputy Coroner Chandler held an in
guest and the verdict was that death re-
suited from an unknown cause. The
remains were inferred in the county
burying ground at Farnhurst.

SPLENDID PEACH PRosP Ecrs.
Clerk of the Peace w. Pierce Biggs Made
a Personal Investigation of Kent and
Sussex Orchards.

Cierk OF the Peace W. Eierce BiEKs made
a Personal Investigation of Kent and
Sussex Orchards.
No better authority on the exact con-
,ditlon Of the peach in Delaware can be
found than Clerk of the Peace W.
Pierce Biggs. In the first place he is an
experienced grower and next he re-
turned Tuesday from drive of "a miles
through some of the best orchard
regions of Kent and Sussex. This per-
sonal investigation by Mr.. Biggs re-
suits in a most gratifying report, He
says there never was better prospects
for fine harvest. There is plenty of
fruit and what is more the fruit is in
good condition.
Mr.. Biggs brought up an armful of
samples, branch picked, one from
each of % orchards he passed in his
drive. He just picked the branches as
hefound them withoutspecial selection.
Some of the specimens are wonderfully
fine, sound and full, and without
hlemish. To the representative Of
The GAZETTE he presented a fra
grant specimen from a 16-years-old tree.
The twig was about IL inches long, and
contained 10 perfect peaches Of the Hale
variety. He says Kent county will have
the biggest crop in its record. Mr.. Biggs
also plucksd some branches with the
leaves off. On these he said tho fruit
will wither. But they were very few.

JOHNSON MAY DIE.
The Town Bailiff of Odessa MUIR
derously Assaulted.

Peter Duross, g Desperate Negro, Thrusts
knife into HIS Lung. and also Outs
Another Man--The Would-he Murderer
still at Large.
William johnson, the town bailiif Of
Odessa, was stabbed on Saturday night
by Peter Duross, a colored man living
near Marlborough, and 1t was reported
on Tuesday that Johnson's wound is
likely to prove fatal. He was stabbed
In the back with q huge knife in the
hands of the negro, the weapon pene-
tratlng the lung. Andrew Weist, a
young man who went to the assistance
OF the officer, was also cut, but his in
juries were not deep and are not serious.
DR.. Carlow is attending the injured
men.
The trouble occurred on one OF the
principal streets of the city. Duross
and his wife were quarreling and the
officer was called on TO interfere. This
epraged the negro and he pulled out q
knife with which he began to slash
johnson. He cut him on the arm and
also In the back. Weist, who lives near
the scene OF the trouble, heard the noise
and jumping out of bed went TO the
assistance of the officer The negro
YVES slashing right and left when no ar
rived, and after Johnson had been cut
attention was given to him and Duross
escaped.
He was seen on Sunday at the resi-
dence of his father.in-law, near Mac
donough, SO il is reported, but when
the officers went their to arrest him the
would-be murderer could not be found.
! AS far as is known, he has not been
seen since, but 1t is supposed he is in
hiding somewhere in the vicinity.
Detective Witsil went to Odessa on
Monday and made search, but he failed
to come up with Duross. 1t is believed
however, that he obtained slight clue.
The negro had not been arrested this
afternoon.
Duross was burly African and he
came originally from Dover. He mar
ried the daughter of a man named
NAPLES, living near Marlborough. He
has recently been working for man
named Samuel Dickinson, near Odessa
His vile still lives with her father.
Duross is spoken of as desperate
character and his actions Saturday night
are not at all surprising to those who
know him. He is still at large.

The Opera House,

Except for local attractions, the Opera
House will remain closed until August
Goth, when it will be opened for the next
season with the "Prodigal Father"
This attraction was here about two
years ago, and will be recalled to mind
by the mention of the fact that with it
Maggie Cline, the 'Irish Queen" made
her first appearance here.
During the past season, which closed
with "Trilby," many strong and credita-
BILE companies, and many people promi.
nent in the theatrical world have APP
peared before large and delighted audi
onces. Some of the troupes have been
below the average, but when the large
number of high standard companies and
artists who appeared during the season

are taken into consideration it must
be said that the management have ia
vored our people with most satisfac-
tory course of entertainments. While
the heavy expenses and the hard times
made an impossibility of any profit to
the management, they feel pleased to an
nounce that the Opera House was the
source of no loss to them.
Though the booking season is yet
early, many high class attractions are al
ready booked for the coming season,
enough to show that our theatre goers
may anticipate some enjoyable evenings.
Salvini, the leading Spanish tragedian,
will appear early in the season, in Octo-
Der. He brings forty people and two
car loads of scenery. Earlier or later
will appear Joe OFT in "Thc Star Gazer,"
Clay Clement in "The New Dominion"

Another DISAPPEARANCE.

Charles Palmer, for several years con-
nected with the Electric Light Company,
disappeared the first of last week, and
with him went his wife, generally known
as SADIE Slocum. The couple were sub
pGned to give testimony before the grand
jury at Manchester in the case of Charles
Jepson and Ella Russell, accused of biga.
my, and it is supposed that SADIE was
one of the most important witnesses for
the State. At the time they had their
preliminary hearing before the Munich
pal Court, she managed to get out of
town and remained until after the parties
were bound up.
AS soon as possible after the subpoena
was served, Palmer and his wife left
town, storing their furniture, which will
probably be sent to them. An offense
like this is punishable in this State by a
fine of from $50 to 5000. 1t is supposed
that they have gone to Bath, Me.

The Liquor Gases.

In the Municipal Court, Saturday af-
ternoon, Geo. Bushnell of the Cottage
Hotel, was fined $50 and costs for sell
ing. L. Collins of the Putnam, was
again called before the court, having
been notified that his case, continued
from the week before, would be tried.
His case was further continued. He is
charged with renting a portion of his
building for use as a bar room, knowing
it is used as SUCH
In both of the above cases testimony
against the defendants was given by two
detectives from Albany, who stated that
on May oath and 25th, they procured
liquor from Bushnell at the Cottage Ho-
tel and from the bar room in the Put
nam on Memorial Day. The proprietor
of the bar-room, Martin Lyons, has left
town to avoid arrest. The witnesses at
tested that they were shown to the bac-
room by Mr.. Collins. The Citizens
League claims that this constitutes the
necessary and long sought for proof that
Mr.. Collins is, and has been cognizant of
the fact that liquor was sold on his prem
ises. Mr.. Collins displays lease con-
tanning the provision that no liquor
shall be sold in the room he rents to Mr..
Lyons, but the League claims that this
is merely a subterfuge.
These cases are at present attracting
considerable attention, from the fact
that the evidence was procured by de-
tectives from out of town employed by
the Citizens League. The League
claims that since January 1st. it has
caused seven searches to be made by vii
lage officers and, though liquor is known
to have been Kept and sold in each of
these cases, nothing was found when the
search was made.
The officers of the League say that as
long as they depend upon the village Of
ficers they can make no progress what
ever in their fight against the liquor sell
lers. Liquor is sold in open and fragrant
violation of the law, and the League Of
ticers claim that in no way, except by
the employment of outside aid, can they
bring the viOlators to justice. They be-
lieve that violators of the liquor law
should be compelled to suffer the conse-
quences of their violations, the same as
the violators of other laws, and that in
case they cannot be brought to justice
through the regular channels, other
means may be legitimately resorted to.
Warrants have been issued for the ar
rest of Martin Lyons, Thomas Butler,
James MOrrissey and Michael Healy.
There are three warrants against Butler,
one for allowing gambling on the prem
ises, one for selling liquor and one for
selling liquor to minor. Other war
rants will be issued soon.
The cases of William Lundergan, Thos.
Butler and William Miller, who appealed
from the Municipal Court several months
ago, will come before the present term of
the County Court. The case of D. j.
Pratt, whose bail was declared forfeited |
at the December term, will also come up. i!
1t is understood that the grand jury at |
the County Court have indicted D. j.
Pratt of North Pownal for selling liquor,
and that the proprietor of the hotel at
Arlington has been indicted also for the
same offense.
