Early Monday night Police Officer
Daniel Aiken had a rough encounter
with Oscar Robinson a young des-
perado, at the home Of Robinson's
mother, No. 619 East Fourth street,
and the plucky policeman is fortunate
in not having been seriously injured.
Oscar Robinson is 90 years of age
and we'll known TO the police. His
mother Mary Robinson, is respectable
woman and keeps a boarding house at
No. 6l9 East Fourth street. The lad
is worthless and will not work, but
his mother is easy and has been keep
ing him in idleness. He was extremely
ungrateful and frequently got drunk
and abused his mother and sister, Mrs
Alice Stout, who also lives at the
house.
On Saturday evening the young man
came home intoxicated and. according
to his sister, threatened to kill her
and her mother. He was finally quieted
down, but Monday the trouble was
renewed. When he went home to
supper Monday night he was about to
take some food out tn some friend who
was waiting in the street. The mother
interfered and prevented him from
doing So. This angered the young
dCGHoihdO ubi hO tulOm LIS DlObuoE Ohh
of the house and his sister was COM
PEELED to flee for her life. He after
ward picked up chair in the dining
room and commenced to demolish the
furniture. Officer Aiken was notified
and he went TO the house after Robin
son. The latter fed, but was afterward
caught by the officer. He resisted
arrest and tried to do the officer bodily
harm. He bit the patrolman on the
arm and otherwise assaulted him, but
the plucky officer finally got him under
control and summoned patrol wagon.
After Robinson had been placed in the
wagon he attempted to assault Ser
geant Howgate and officer Riley, and
it was with difficulty that he was
landed at police headquarters.
Robinson was given a hearing in the
municipal court Tuesday morning, when
his mother and sister testified to the
facts. During the trial the prisoner
was insolent and actually swore at his
sister from the prisoners box.
The judge after hearing the evidence.
imposed fine of $50 and sentence of
six months at bard labor.
Nora Fahey was charged by her hus.
band. Michael Fahey, with getting
drunk and neglecting their six chill
ulon' ho oAHressed Wiiingnesb to
drop the charge if his wife would take
pledge, which was also agreeable TO
the judge, but the woman refused to
take a pledge and she was fined So.
For assaulting Andrew Young,
colored, Stephen Welsh. also colored,
was required to pay fine of So.
Il. p. Longhead, charged with dis
orderly conduct, and Frank Smith,
charged with drunkenness, were dis
charged.

MILLET DISEASE.
A ANewIy-dIscovered sfalady In Horses Finds
Its Way Into Delaware.

A Newly Malady In Horses Finds
Its Way Into Delaware.
"A disease comparatively new and
almost unknown in this section Of the
country has found it's way to Delaware
and has been discovered recently in two
horses. 1t is what is known as millet
disease, and, as far as is known at
this time, only affects horses. The
animals contract the aiiliction by cat
ing millet and IL is not contagious, and
therefore no alarm need be felt. Both
of the cases reported came under the
notice Of Veterinarian Henry ID. Pax
eou Of this city, and although the symp-
toms were puzzling in the first instance
and the animal died, partly on account
of its age, it was lesson to the doc
tor, and by carefully studying it, he
readily understood the symptoms in
the second case. which was a horse
owned by Milk Dealer Klund OF this
city, and he bad no trouble at all in
saving its life. The disease affects
the kidneys and the joints in the body,
producing a stiffness and giving the
affected animal the appearance OF hav-
ing the rheumatism. The symptoms
are somewhat similar to those of other
Affections, and as the disease is not
common in Delaware, it is likely to be
mystifying TO persons owning horses
which show signs Of the malady.
To reporter of The Gazette DIR.
Paxson talked freely on the subject.
Some horses," he said, twill take
the disease from simply eating millet,
while Others who are fed in like man
ner will not be afflicted at ALL In my
opinion it is the difference in the con
stitutions in animals. just what
causes the disease | am unable to say.
1T was first discovered in the West,
where it is prevalent in some sections.
After the discovery OF the disease ply
6icians commenced to search for the
cause. 1t was the original opinion
that millet in itself is not harmful and
it was believed that the trouble arose
from some germs on the grass, but up
to the present time, as far as l have
been able to ASCERTAIN, no such germs
have heen discovered. The origin ap-
pears to be still mystery, and where
the disease has broken out the advice
has been to stop feeding the millet to
the horses, which advice the farmers
in Delaware, who have been allowing
their horses to eat the grass, would do
well to heed l know Of cases where
horses have been made sick and uied,
where in other cases they have recov-
cred with no other treatment than
being deprived OF millet.
81 do not think tho Delaware farm
ers as a rule give their horses any
great quantity Of millet, and for that
reason the disease has kept away from
the State. However, those who have
not heard of the disease and know
nothing about it will probably be GLAD
to receive the warning and some may
profit by it."

Frank Peirce Knocked Down and Run Owe
m Tratn

bv Team.
Frank Peirce, son Of j. jackson
Peirce of No. 707 Tatpall street, while
RIDING a bicycle near Riveryiew ceme-
terry on Monday. was run into by col
ored man who was driving William B.
Austin's team, and it is miracle that
he was not killed. He is pretty badly
injured, however.
Mr.. Peirce, William G. Lawson and
another young man named Robinson
had been at Shellpot Park, and shortly
after 10 o'clock they started for home
on their bicycles. All had lighted
lamps on their wheels and they could
be seen for some distance ahead. They
had gained the top OF The hill in safety
and were proceeding on the right Of the
road opposite the street car side track
just beyond Riverview cemetery, when
the negro came along with his team,
and, according to eye witnesses, was
driving recklessly. Owing to the fact
that the moon was partly hidden by a
clump of trees and the wheelmen were
almost blinded by the gare.of a street
car head light, Peirce did not see the
approaching team and he knew nothing
OF its presence until Lawson, who was
ahead, shouted, "Look out" Pierce
had not time to deviate from his course,
when he was struck In the left side
OF the neck by the shaft of the car
riage, tho shaft penetrating for fully
