Guilty, Tuesday night, Isaac Watson,
aged about 80 years, baker of Delmar
sustained probably fatal injuries at the
hands of Levin Hastings, merchant
of the same town. A bitter feeling has
existed between the two men for several
years because of business troubles be-
tween them.
Tuesday night Watson entered Levin
Hastings store. Some reference was
made to the business difficulty between
him and Hastings and quarrel ensued
which had nearly come to blows when
friends interfered and put Watson out
of the store. While they were trying
to induce Watson to go home, it is al
legged that Hastings snatched an axe
handle and rushed out and dealt Wat
son several savage blows. Friends
again broke them apart and forced
Hastings back into his store and car
ried Watson to DR.. Ellegood's office.
Several ugly wounds about the head
were dressed. The most SERIOUS was a
triangular fracture Of the front of the
skull, nearly two inches long. 1t is be-
lieved that it is impossible for the VIC
tim to recover.

The Famous slander Cases of Samuel G..
Fisher Settled by a Disclaimer Their
Business.
SPECIAL Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
Georgetown, Oct. 16-In the superior
court yesterday the case of the State
of Delaware for the use of Alfred
Lynch vs.. George P. Barnett and
Lemuel Holt, which occupied amost of
Friday afternoon and all of yesterday,
was resumed.
The Chief Justice said, that the
question raised was very important
one, and the court had given it careful
and deep study, but they had decided
that it was properly case for appeal
to the orphans court. That the con-
stitution made the registers dealings
with administrators final, except the
matter be taken into the orphans court
for adjudication. The court then in
structed the jury to render verdict
for the defendants, which was done.
In the case of William Lowe, charged
with embezzlement, Messrs. Pennewill
and Cullen, for the defendant, asked
that the case be heard at some time
between the Kent and New Castle
terms. Their request was granted,
and Wednesday, November both, was
fixed on as the date for the trial.
The SANDER cases of Samuel G. Fisher
vs.. Charles Barker and others, were
called. After conference Of counsel,
Charles +. Richards, attorney for the
defendants, stated that satisfactory
settlement of the matter had been
made. The defendants disclaimed any
libelous intentions toward the plaintiff,
and the plaintiff accepted their ex-
PLANTATION and the following disclaimer,
which was read in open court:
Each and every one of these defend
ants deny that they or either of them,
wrote, published, or caused to be
written or published, or uttered any
word or words in any manner libelous
of Samuel G. Fisher, the plaintiff, at
the public meeting held at Milford on
Monday, the 26th day of November,
A. D. 1894, and they and each of them
do now disclaim any i'll will or malice
toward the said plaintiff, in any act
done by the said defendants, or word
uttered at the said meeting,''
Mr.. Fisher said the disclaimer was
perfectly satisfactory to him. Thus
ended the now famous SANDER cases.
There were IL cases, the defendants
being Charles Barker, John 8. Pretty

nut street, on Tuesday. Mr.. Collins
hair and whiskers were singed by con-
tact with the blaze and Mr.. Mccarthy
burned his hands in trying to extin-
guish the fire.
Shortly after noon Mr. Collins was
preparing dinner. He was boiling soup
on gasoline stove, and without the
slightest warning the stove exploded
and set fire to the floor and woodwork
about. the room. Mccarthy, who was
nearby, picked up blanket and tried
to smother the flames, but they had
got beyond his control. When the stove
exploded Collins was standing over it,
and the result would have been serious
II he had not made hasty retreat.
As soon as Mccarthy saw that the
fire was beyond control he got out in
front of the place and yelled Fire I"
as loud as he could. Somebody heard
him and sounded the alarm from the
box at Fifth and French streets. When
the department responded the whole
room seemed mass of flames, and
tongues OF fire were coming out Of the
front doors. The apparatus went to
work Immediately and in very short
time had the fire out
All OF the woodwork inside the room
as well as part Of the floor and ceiling
were charred, and the flames were eat

were checked. Mccarthy and Collins
both sustained losses, Collins being
about 800 and McCarthy's about sl5.
Neither of the men was hurt bad
enough to be sent to a hospital, and
after the fire was out they walked about
the room viewing the ruins and taking

Smyrna, Oct 16. The site of the
new bayside resort to be built by the
Bombay Hook Island Land Improve
ment and Transportation Co. was sur
veyed last week by W. o. Hoffecker of
this town and work will soon begin in
construction. The site consists of 100
acres of land, about a mile below
Woodland Beach. A long pier win be
built for the accommodation of the
steamboat line which they propose to
run between there and Philadelphia.
In addition to that the land Is being
laid off in building lots and large
and commodious hotel will be built
The company also propose to offer
enough attractions for having cottages
built on the vacant lots.
1t is not known yet whether the Mil.
ford e. Dover Trolley Co. will connect
with the place. Many people, however,
think il the two companies would con.
solidate, it might be for the mutual
benefit of both. The Bombay Hook
Transportation Co. will run a daily
steamboat line between the Island and
Philadelphia and If these companies
should consolidate, this line would be
in direct communication with the great
peach belt of this State.
