cused OF toying with an 11-years -old

girl belongs to poor family, living at
Cowgirl and was taken by Rev Du-
Hammel to raise. IL is charged that
he entlced the child into a COW barn
and maltreated her. She told the story
to a neighbor. who in turn informed
the authorities.
The detective arrested Rev. DuHam-
mel at Kits Hammock, just as he and
his wife were getting ready to start for
home. IL is said that two boyswho were
near the barn, heard the girl cry out
as though In pain, and say that she
would slap some one II he did not stop.
They saw DuHIammel and the girl
leave the barn afterwards.
He was taken to Dover before Mag
istrate Cooper, where he waived a
hearing to the upper court, and gave
bail I'm $1,000 for his appearance there.
! The matter has caused considerable
I excitement here.

BILL RULON AS A HUNTER.

HE DUMBFOUNDED JIM FLINN
AND SET HIM TO FIGURING AND
GUESSING.
James f. Finn, a Wilmington bar
Der, is somewhat of a gunner and fish
erman, and is not at all modest when
talking of his skill in those particular
lines. Two or three days ago he and
James Holiday, one of Wilmington S
cold comfort dispensers, went down to
Augustine Pier to shoot reed birds.
They had fairly good luck, and slept
soundly on their laurels.
Next morning Flynn was standing
on the porch telling Patrick Neary and
others of his remarkable shots and
catches, when Bill Rulon walked up
and became an interested listener.
Finally he spoke up and said:
Il used to gun once, too. AT one time
I gunned for a living. l have often
gone out in the morning and shot
ninety dozen reed birds before break
fast"
Flynn dropped back in his chair
dumbfounded and after he had left
town Rulon found the following in
scribed on the arm of the chair:
Twelve times ninety are 1,0S0. How
could he lie SOP

PEACH SEASON NEARLY OYER.
THE WILMINGTON MARKET WAS
GLUTTED WITH THE FRUIT
THIS MORNING.

THIS MORNING.
Peaches were a glut in the Whining
ton market this morning. From
Fourth and Market streets to Fourth
and French streets, both sides of
Fourth street were lined with baskets
of the fruit, piled three or four rows
deep.
The prices realized, even for good
fruit, were poor, ranging from 25 to
60 cents per basket.
The peach season is nearly over.
Both growers and sellers are complain
ing that the season has been a very
poor one. The peaches ripened prema-
turely, and were not of large size or
good quality. Then, the crop so far
is about 1,70O,O0O baskets short of the
estimated crop at the beginning of the
season.
With the exception of a few good
days, the prices realized have been
very poor. The shipments to date
have been about 100000 baskets.

LIGHTNING IN SNOW HILL.
TWO PERSONS SERIOUSLY IN
JURED DURING A SEVERE
STORM THERE.

JURED DURING SEVERE
STORM THERE.
SNOW HILL, Nd. Sept. 5.-During
very severe thuL erstorm, which
passed over Snow Hiu Thursday night,
lightning struck the residence OF VIII
liam ]. Henderson, on East Federal
street, and affected Mr.. Henderson and
his wife so seriously that they were
both unconscious for about half an
hour, as near as the time can be esti-
mated. When the bolt struck they
were both sitting in the dining-room on
the first floor They saw n bright fash
and balls of fire filling the air, and
then knew nothing further until they
recovered consciousness, just as Ben
jamin w. Hearthway. who was pass
ing, rang the door-bell TO ascertain the
extent of the damage to the house,
which he saw had been struck. Both
the injured persons are suffering from
the effects OF the stroke though their
injuries are not serious.
The lightning struck the chimney,
knocked itoif even with theroofand tore
the shingles away The rafters In the
attic were splintered so they are flt for
kindling wood. The current passed
down the fiue into the rooms below
and gave Mr.. and Mrs. Henderson their
close call for life The ceiling of one
of the bedrooms is punctured in nu-
merous places by those bullet-like
holes which are becoming too famil-
lar to the residents OF Worcester
county.
Lightning also slightly affected the
eyesight of the housekeeper at the
home of Blector George w. Purnell, on
Market street She was In the kitchen
at the time of the flash and says the
room was filled with balls of fire. She
has been rather dazed ever since A
tree on the river swamp was also
struck and burned to the ground.
Deputy Register of Wills Edward p.
Davis had started to drive to his sum-
mer home, on the Sinepuxent bay. but
was compelled to take refuge from the
fury of the storm in one of the car
riage-houses at the Worcester county
driving park. He finally had to aban-
don his first intention and returned tC
Snow Hill. He passed the home OF
Mr.. Henderson just an instant of two
s before the lightning struck it.

NoW ON cRoMWELL,s TRAIL.

NOW ON CROMWELL'S TRAIL
BURLINGTON, N. j., Sept. 81
Mayor McNeal and his officers have
just returned from Biddles Island,
where a party encamped reported hav-
ing seen Thomas Cromwell and an
other colored man who are charged
with the Henke murder. The mayor
is fully convinced that the two mur-
derers are on the island but owing
to the denseness of the brush and
marsh grass locating them is made
difficult. It is believed that the two
men are receiving succor from their
friends at Kinkora, a small colored
settlement on the Jersey shore oppo-
site the island. A close watch has
been placed on the island, and the au-
thorities are hopeful of starving the
men out OF their concealment.

FISHING IN THE BRANDYWIEE.
ANGLERS HAVE HAD GREAT
sPORT.-FINE CATCHES OF BASS.


WEST CHESTER, Sept. 4.-The
local anglers have experienced a great
deal OF real sport this week, and their
fine catches OF bass have been some
thing they had no hopes of making at
this time, when the water IN the
stream is almost alarmingly low and
the grass in its bed a very annoying
feature. The grasshopper has arisen
into prominence as the leading bait,
and while the bass which are lured by
it are not the largest ones, they are
good sized and afford much enjoyment
for those who delight in the recrea-
tion.
The fly isn't of any account with the
Brandywine bass at this time, the next
best lure to the grasshopper being the
helgramite. IL Is only the middle
sized bass that are being taken, the
large ones have been forced to seek
the deep holes by reason of the ex-
tremely low water, where they remain
IN most persistent manner.
In Lenape dam there is a monster
bass which is giving fishermen con-
siderable excitement and cause for
speculation as TO its size. For several
years IL has been often hooked. but as
yet no angler has been able to land it
simply because of it's breaking rods
and lines after fashion that Is highly
conducive to business for dealers In
tackle. Twice was this fish brought
20 the surface this week, and as often
did 10 smash handsome rods and gain
its liberty. Some who have caught a
sight OF this fish pronounce It the
largest ever seen in this county. The
man who goes with stout line and rod
bent to taking captive this monster
is the one who never hooks him, but
the fellow who isn't prepared for his
: attentions is the one who returns home
with his tackle totally wrecked from
. coming in contact with the sportive
giant OF the bass family.
Up the West Branch, near Embree-
d. vile, the best bass fishing has been
found since the water became low.
Several West Chester parties have
brought home fine strings Of this fish
lately some of the catches measuring
from twelve to sixteen inches.

FOUR MEN BACK OF IT.
WHAT THE SEVENTH WARD
ANTI TUNNELL MOVEMENT
REALLY AMOUNTS TO.

REALLY AMOUNTS TO.
'I think it will be well for the pub
lie to know the full extent of this anti
Tunnel agitation out in our end of
the Seventh ward said a prominent
Democrat of the west end of the ward
to an Evening Journal reporter this
morning. 81 saw very exaggerated
account of the last meeting held there
in the Morning News yesterday. The
truth of the matter is this: At the
meeting on Thursday week there were
thirty-two men present. OF that num-
Der seven positively refused to sign
the manifesto so generously exploited
by the Republican papers. Some of
those present spoke against the adop-
tion of such a paper, and also against
any movement against Mr. Tunnel,
and would not have anything to do
with it, Several of those who signed
the paper that night regret it now, and
openly declare the wish that they had
not signed.
Last Monday night only twenty
eight or twenty-nine men were pres
ent. 1t was the same set of men, with
three exceptions, that met the week
before. The only addition to the move
ment was three names.
James Nc eigh, chairman of the
meeting, got up, pulled a long butcher
knife from his coat sleeve, and told
those present that it was the knife
that John f. Salisbury had up his
sleeve at he State Convention. He said
that he took John +. to hotel, made
him drunk on champagne and stole
the butcher knife from him. The inn
preston conveyed to those present was
that John f. Salisbury had a knife up
his sleeve for Peter j. Ford.
There are only four men at the bot
tom of this anti-Tunnell movement.
They are William ]. Gibbons, James
McVeigh, John d. Kelley and Hugh
Dougherty. These leading spirits
want to make II appear that they can
carry our end of the ward aginst Tun-
nell, but the impression they have put
out is erroneous"
