Wilmington. Del, Sept. 81. With
John Boyd Tbucher's letter in his
mind to-day, William j. Bryan had
little time for reflection on the physi-
cal dissomforts to which he was
subjected. National Committeeman
Richard Kenney made the Delaware
trip as disagreeable as il could pos
sibly be made. 5:
In order not to Inconvenience re-
ception committee of his own friends,
Mr.. Kenney forced the candidate to
leave Washington last night, go over
10 Baltimore. and get up at 8 o'clock
this morning. Mr.. Bryan was badly
in nesd of physical rest, but the ma
tional committeeman insisted that
there were 200 carloads of persons who
would be disappointed il the early
train for Dover was not taken, and he
reluctantly yielded
When, instead OF 200 carloads, re-
ception committee of &c members ap-
peared at way station, and when the
candidate made tine further discovery
that he could have left Washington
this morning and kept his appoint
ment. there came near being an explo-
sion.
Mr.. Kenney had advertised that
there would be 80, 600 to 40, 600 persons
in Dover to hear the candidate. he
spoke at the fair grounds and his
hearers did not number more than
5000.

being about feet 10 inches in height,
rather light, with smooth face and
rather neatly dressed in black suit of
clothes.
For several days previous to the rob
berry he, along with others, both white
and black, had been seen going up and
down the railroad between the west
yard and Elsmere, and judging from
the actions OF the men, they must have
been encamped in the wood in that
vicinity.
Mr.. Wakenhut had been suspicious
OF the men for some time, and for that
reason he bad nothing to say to them,
which is contrary TO his usual custom
OF saluting respectable people as they
pass that way. Ever since he was
robbed and almost murdered on tine
9th of last October BY Thomas Deyine,
be has been very careful not to offer
any encouragement TO strangers, par

A short time ago white man ap-
preached the WATCHDOG and threatened
of committing robbery, but he was

Mr.. Wakenhut is an inoffensive citi-
zen aid one Of the most Trustworthy
employees of the Wilmington & Northern
Railroad Co., and as he is one of the
last persons to think Of harming any
one, he has never taken tho precaution
TO arm himself. He has learned a
lesson, however, and in the future will
be prepared to defend himself against
such outlaws rs have infested the
neighborhood Of late.
The territory in the vicinity of
Richardson's run is ono OF the worst
places about Wilmington, and since
Folly woods, which is on the same
road about a mile further out, has lost
some of its distinctive features as a
refuge for rough characters, Richard
sons woods has supplanted it as re-
sort for thieves and outlaws. Some
portions OF the woodland are dense and
suited to the purposes of rough charac-
tiers, and recently many have been seen
in that neighorhood.
1t is also likely that several rob-
beries. which have occurred in the
city recently, were committed by men,
bers of the gang, who formulate theiI
plans during the day and operate at
night.
1t was near the crossing where Miss
Malta Lewis was recently assaulted by
a white man, report of which was
printed in The Gazette at the time.
Several people have been held up
lately, but as far as is known. no big
hauls have been made.
The police and detectives are con
versant with tine condition of affairs ir
the notorious woodland, and every
effort is being made to apprehend the
| outlaws.

a BOOM FOR NEW CASTLE.


A Philadelphia Syndicate Making Inquiry
Into the Cost of Real Estate.
The following is from Saturdays issue
OF the New Castle News, one of the
newsiest and most reliable journals
south of Wilmington:
The building of the trolley between
this city and Wilmington, has, as the
News predicted months ago, placed New
Castle before the public as favorable
place for an investment in real estate,
and number one location for manu-
featuring industries. We certainly
expected this would naturally follow
but move in this direction. 30 early
after beginning the road. was Just
little beyond our expectations.
Three gentlemen from Philadelphia,
whose cards are now in our possession,
and who are reported in Brsdstreet's for
over 800, 600 piece, visited the News
Office yesterday searching for informa-
ton relative to the trolley, our mills,
real estates, what 1t could be purchased
for, and our opinion regarding the
building up Of the beautiful scope Of
country along the route between here
and Wilmington. These gentlemen
spoke to us in all confidence, request
ing US not 10 divulge their namss at
present, but stating positively that
they were here in the interest of a
large Wholesale company Of Philadel-
phia, and declaring it their intention
to locate here at no distant day. a
plant for the manufacture of the
articles they sell. They gave US very
little information on this trip regard
ing how much real estate they would
purchase, but said they would locate
very near New Castle, and would like
to get on the river front as all their
shipments would be 10 Philadelphia
and New York by water.
The elderly gentleman of the trio has
visited New Castle before. and he re-
marked that "you certainly have the
finest location here in New Castle for
the building of city, that it has
been my fortune to see." The only
was why New Castle did not have
We agreed with him, but told him
what we thought the difficulty was.
What seemed to strike them more
than anything else, was the free taxa
tion offered by the city. They did not
seem to comprehend how it was to be
| done, and wanted to know, in case they
| purchased land near the river, if they
would certainly be free from taxation
for 10 years. As it was question
we did not like to answer, we sent in
for Mayor Boyd, who cheerfully gave
them all the information they desired.
and they left on the LOS tram very
much pleased with the outlook, prnmis-
ing to see US and give more definite
information regarding their purchase
and plant in a few days.

CURFEW BELL IN WILMINGTON
The w. c. T. U. to AgItate a
Needed Reform.
FOR PROTECTION OF JUVENILES
Committee Appointed to Begin
Action.
The City Council to Be Requested to Pass
an Ordinance Requiring children to Bs
Within Doors by o o'clock mt Night-such
an Ediot in Other Cities.

Wilmington may yet have the curfew
hell or a kindred reform, if the mem
bers of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perapce Union are able to impress
City Council with the necessity and
value of some action on that line. The
question was discussed on Friday after
noon at the first meeting of the union
since the June adjournment. The de-
sire of the union IL to have an ordi-
nance passed requiring children to be
within doors by 8 o'clock at night
Mrs. Lafayette Marks explained the
action of such an ordinance in other
cities where the curfew bell rang at
certain hour, and children found in
the streets, after that hour were first
sent home, and IL found out agaiu were
arrested. The ordinance had worked
well. The following committee was
appointed to bring the attention of
City Council TO the matter: Mrs
Marks, chairman, Mrs. r. A. Matlack.
Mrs. Thomas Darlington, Mrs. j. r.
Hudson, Mrs. Ferguoon, Mrs. Theodore
Francis, Mrs. Eli Mendinhall, Mrs. M. A..
Taggart, Mrs Charles Moore and Mrs
Davis. The committee will meet at
the call of the chairman.
The members entered into a dis
cussion of entertainments at Shellpot
Park in which children performed, and
a vigorous sentiment of protest was ex-
pressed. The children were thought
too young 10 be allowed to take part in
the way they did. The influence upon
them. it was feared, would be bad.
The members also thought the, con-
tinuance of such exhibitions would be
detrimental to the park in that it
might prevent self-respecting people
from going there. No action was taken
on the matter, but in the discussion it
was suggested that the performance by
the children might come under the
consideration of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Children.
In the routine business of the meet
ing, the treasurer, Mrs. M, A. Taggart,
reported receipts of S1l5. a., and ex-
penditures of s94. rs. The finance
committee reported receipts Of s75, 80.
and expenditures of S6l. 20. j. H.
