commissioner il he desired more direct
evidence than the statement of the
man who was sharpening a sword said
be was going TO cut off the head OF
Spaniard. He dwelt upon the fact
that the captain and his mate, who
were present at the hearing, had re-
mained silent. o.
Commissioner Smith said he did not
think it was unlawful for the captain
to take the men.
Mr.. Vandegrift asked il the captain
had right to stop In the river and
take on men and freight after the boat
had cleared from Philadelphia for
foreign port.
Senator Gray interrupted Mr. Van
degrift, and stated that as the man
who said he was, sharpening his sword
for the purpose Of cutting off a
Spaniard's head in the. presence of
only one man-not within hearing of
the captain or mate--a prima facie
case was not established.
Mr. Vandegrift argued that II the
men were not guilty they should desire
trial by jury.
At the conclusion of District Attorney
Vandegrift's address, Commissioner
Smith said he would be compelled to
hold the accused for trial before the
district court in Philadelphia. They
were required to give temporary bail
in the sum Of 81, 600 each until they

A GRAVE INJUSTICE CORRECTED.
George W. Joseph's Name Wrongfuily Com
nected with the Clayton Attempted Out
y rage-True Statement of the Affair.

George W. Joseph's Name Wrongfuiiy Com
D nectsd with the Clayton Attempted Out
\ rage-True Statement of the Affair.
An item appears on page Of this
issue which does grave injustice to Mr..
George w. Joseph, Of that town,
gentleman of worthy character and the
highest respectability.
The item states that flames Brown,
coIored, and George W. Joseph, white,
were arrested shortly after daybreak,
this morning, by Detective Nathan
Hutchins, on the charge OF breaking
into and entering the bedroom Of
Florence Clayton, at 8. IS a. m. to-day,
with felonious intent. 1t added that
they were committed in default of $500
bail.
The truth of the matter is that only
the negro was arrested, and that Mr..
Joseph was in no way concerned with
the grave offence. The item was OBJ
tanned from official sources that were
considered at the time entirely trust
worthy, and was printed in good faith
without an idea OF the injury it was
doing to an honest and worthy man.
The manner in which Mr.. Joseph g
name became connected with the affair
was as FLOWS: He had returned to
Clayton from visit to Wilmington on
the midnight train, Friday night,
reaching Clayton about / O'Clock in
the morning. Before retiring he con-
cluded to go to his summer kitchen,
for tho purpose of procuring cup of
coffee, and was astonished to find a
negro man lying asleep upon the floor.
He called out TO the intruder, whereupon
the latter hastily fled. After the
arrest and Imprisonment Of the negro
Brown, later in the morning, Mr..
Joseph, by request of Constable Boggs,
went to the lookup, to see if the negro
arrested was the same one that had in
truded upon his summer kitchen. He
found that the prisoner was not the
man. This was his only connection
with the affair.
Mr.. Joseph is conductor on the
Delaware railroad, and faithful en-
ploye. His personal character is above
reproach, and he Enjoys the confidence
and esteem of all who know him, to
the highest degree. That man of his
character and standing should be sub
jected to the humiliation OF being ae-
cused of such degrading offence is a
matter to be deeply regretted, and no
one can regret it more sincerely than
this paper, which was innocently mis-
led into making the publication.

Some Musical Notes,

Paderewski, the great Polish pianist, has
created as great furore since his arrival in
this country this season as he did when he
was last here. The women haye gone wild
over him, and they have formed large por-
ton of his audiences. especially at the matt
nees in New York. What is more interest
ing to musicians is the fact that he has de-
veloped a musician, and the critics have
all recognized that. He has evidently been
a constant student, and has not been spoiled
in an artistic sense by the adulation be-
slowed upon him. Paderewski will appear
in one concert in this city at Metzerott
Music Hall the II tn of December.

because his buxom wife the 9th er Gay pre-
