A PlucIty Woman,

Last Wednesday night Miss Mary e.
Carroll of Pittsburg, who has been
taking care of the home of her uncle,
Joseph w. Carroll, near Embreeville,
on the Wilmington & Northern rail
road, was startled by heavy hand
upon her shoulder. She looked around
and recognized George Booth, the negro
hoster who had been in the employ of
the family for the past 10 years. As
he was addicted to joking, Miss Carroll
was not at all alarmed until the negro
caught her by the throat. The library
desk at which she had been writing,
was open and an old navy pistol, with
an S.inch barrel was lying in the cor
ner. The young woman wrested her
self from tho clutches of the negro and
fired, the bullet entering his left side
near the arm pit. Booth, now enraged.
attempted to disarm her A large New.
foundland dog tried to defend her and
was kicked by the negro, whereupon
it caught him by the throat, causing
him to loose his hold upon Miss Car
roll. He stabbed the dog twice. Miss
Carroll, in tho meantime, had become
almost unconscious, but she recovered
and fired another volley of three shots,
one of which struck the negro near the
hip. Finding himself wounded he
jumped into carriage. which he had
already in harness and left for parts
unknown. When Col. Carroll arrived
home and learned of the affair he
started men out in pursuit. in all direc-
tions A general description of the
offender is as follows: He is about 81
years old, mulatto, feet, 7la inches
in height, has u scar on the left side
of the head, weighs about 100 pounds,

There is more trouble in the Repub-

to the belief that the regulars pro-
pose to nominate q county ticket of
their own stripe. An Addicks follower
stated yesterday that he had been
informed that the "regulars" are using
money and all of their energies to
secure the nomination of Horace G.
Rettew for the Office of receiver of
taxes and county treasurer. While the
Addicks people are not opposing him,
some of them claim that he is an out
and out ring candidate, and it is likely
that they would refuse to support him
unless they capture some Of the other
nominees. They also claim that the
ring has the following ticket slated.
and that no stone will be left unturned
ito secure their nomination: For sheriff,
William r. Finn of Christiana hun
dred; for comptroller. Richard G.
Buckingham OF Mill Creek hundred /;
for coroner, J. Thomas Wright. The
Addicks people, however, say they will
support tho successful nominee.

DESTRUCTION OF A BOAT
The Steamer Delaware Burned in tho
ChriStiana Yesterday.
PROBABLY SET .AFlRE BY TRAMPS
The Insurance on the lll-fated
Craft Slight.

Tho old river steamboat Delaware,
owned by the Wilmington " Northern
Railroad Co., which was lying at the
cumpany's wharf above the yards of
the Harlan & Hollingsworth Co., on
the Christiana river, caught fire in
some mysterious manner at about 3
O'Clock a. III. yesterday, and was burned
to tho water's edge and afterward
sank.
AS soon as tho fire was discovered an
alarm was sounded from boy q, at
Front aud Justison streets, and the fire
companies in the district responded,
but by the time they reached the boat
it was mass of flames, and the fire
men directed their efforts toward saving
the bridge nearby. However, the Wee
cacoe and Fame companies had stream
on the boat, but their efforts were un-
availing.
The boat was lying idle at the time,
and watchman, who was on board,
had no trouble in getting ashore.
Superintendent McCausland stated
yesterday that he could not esti-
mate the loss, but he felt sure the in
suranee is very light. He not had com
pleted his investigation.
II ie believed that the fire was caused
by tramps who infest the neighborhood
and who have been seen lingering
about the boat
The Delaware, which was built many
years ago, was wooden hull vessel and
was until few years ago known as
| the Perry. For many years she ran on
the line between Philadelphia and
Salem. She was bought by the w. & N.
Railroad Co. about eight years ago, and
| for some time was used in the service
of the New Jersey d Wilmington Ferry
| Co. The hull was rebuilt about three
years ago by the Enoch Moore & Sons
Go. and preparations had been made
| to place ber in service next week as a
ferry boat between the Delaware river
pier and Penn's Grove. She was built
in Brooklyn, N. Y, in 1845.
The family who had lived on the
boat during the winter secured work
in the city and removed about three
days ago.
While responding to the alarm the
Delaware truck and Washington hose
carriage, which were travelling side by
side, colided at Front and French
streets, and tho wheels OF the two
vehicles were locked from that poinI
until King street was reached. Nobody
was hurt, however, and the only
damage done was the scratching Of on,
of the wheels on the hose carriage.
After the Weccacoe hose wagon hat
reached the fire the horses becamt
frightened and ran away on Marsf
road, but they were captured befor'
they had gone far. In some manne
one Of the axles of the wagon was bent
but there was no other injury.
Chief Welde and Assistants Skelel
and WEIGH were both directing th'
work during the fire.
