William y. GRIMES, yesterday atter-
noon, was one of the largest seen here
for long time Many friends OF the
deceased were present The Rev.
Vaughn S. Collins OBLIGATED at the
church and grave. The pastor, in
speaking OF the life Of the deceased,
said IL was useless to speak of one who
was 80 well known one who was known
as naught but kind, genial, good
and bright young man in all respects,
and one who in his short married life
Of less than year had been kind and
loving husband. The services CON
sisted of the reading Of tho 18th chap
ter Of /. Corinthians, Goth to 5Sth verses
the singing OF the hymn, "Jesus,
While our Hearts are Bleeding;" the
sermon was taken from the 9th chapter
of Job, 10th, 18th and 18th verses.
Aftor the singing of the hymn, Rock
Of Ages" the final ceremony was con
cluded at the grave. The pall-bearers
were members of the Hushebeck Or
chestra, Harry w. Hushebeck, James
7. Challenger, j. Milton Davidson,
Edward Naylor, Edward Conroy and
Charles Edwards. The floral emblems
which were very handsome, were borne
by Arthur Murray and Loomis o. Wise
On account OF having no screen on
the stack of the threshing machine
which was being used on the Gillis
farm, near Olgetown, tenanted by Will
liam Hall, the oats were set on fire and
about 200 bushels consumed, on which
there is no insurance. Had it not
been for hard work by the neighbors
and the hands empoyed, the buildings
on the farm would have gone too.
They were afire in several places, but
the flames were put out before gaining
much Roadway.
About 80 pesrons were on the wharf
expecting to go down on the excursion
Of st. Mary's I. A. B .Pioner Corps

driven down. A game of ball between
the Nameless Of this city and the Port

members of the Naval Reserve Bat

sulting in a victory for the Nameless
by score of 6 to 4. The batteries we're
ameless-Hammers and Talyor; Port
Penn-Hansbury and Myers of Camden.
New Castle, Aug. %. --"Now that
the city fathers are about to make a
start looking toward the remodeling of
our streets ii would be good plan to
have the work done well. " So remarked
prominent citizen last evening. Being
asked IL he thought it could be done
with the old cobblestones he said it
could, providing there was a good bed
of sand placed underneath the eobbles
and they were properly cleaned to rid
them of all the dirt which sticks to
them. This, he said, had been done in
other cities. Afterwards the paving
is filled in with asphalt, making
street that will last for 20 years.
At the Delaware iron works yester-
day morning fight occurred between
three Hungarians on one side and
white man and two negroes on the other.
The result was the flight of the two ne
groes and the cutting of the head Of
one OF the Huns by brick thrown by
the white man.
On Tuesday the cutters on small pipe
in the butt welding department of the
Delaware iron works asked for an in
crease in wages. They were told to go
to work, which they did with much
lighter hearts

The road ways in the lower section
of this hundred are beginning to as
sumo much better appearance than |

of the scraper and having the. roads |
rounded in the midule, which fills up |
all the ruta and also allows the rain to |
run off instead of lying in great pools.

New Castle, Aug. 26.-Mahlon X.
Lancaster was brought home by John
Gordon and John Williams, about 6
O'Clock last evening, in an unconscious
condition. Mr.. Lancaster was riding
on his bicycle down the grade near the
Rose Hill school house at hard pace,
and when near the bottom of the hill
he felt something strike him. He
had his head down and was riding on
the footpath. The only thing he re-
seeing was wagon coming
up the hill and whether he was struck
by some person in the wagon or sand
bagged by some one near there after
the wagon had passed him he could
not say, 1t is surmised that he was
assaulted by some one on foot, and that
the assailants were unable to accom-
plish their purpose of robbery, as the
team which brought him home was
probably close by The blow must
have been terrible one, as he was one
and one-half hours regaining conscious
ness. Dr. r. Il. Tybout was called in
and said although the cheek and fore
head are badly bruised he does not fear
any serious results.
