NEW CASTLE NEWS.
Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN.
NEW CASTLE May 20, 1897.

Tho members of St. Johns Lodge A +.
and A. NJ, last evening held a reception
and banquet in the Opera House building.
Fully 300 persons were present and never
in the history of New Castle was more
enjoyable time spent than by those who
attended the festivities.
:. The addresses of the evening were do
nvered by Congressman Handy and Ed.
ward Dalby. The musical program con-
sisted of selections by the Hushe beck or
chestra, solos by Professor Welton, Frank
Mason, j. Il. Ayars, duet by Mrs. L. p
Wise and Professor Welton, violin duet
by John Carrck and Harry w. Hushebeck.
The two carloads of Wilmington visitors
returned home about II o'clock.
There is an interesting case to be tried
this evening before Magistrate Janvier.
For some time past William f. Banks
who has charge of tho Clarke farm, has
been annoyed of late by horses t-espassing
on his farm. Yesterday morning he i'm
pounded three horses and when Stopfka
went for his horse he was obliged to pay
81. As he left the farm with his redeem.
ed steed, one Of Banks horses followed it.
When the Dobbinsvillo stables were reach
ed Stopfka and Martin Leonard locked up
the horse. Banks went after the horse
and could not get it unless he paid 81 as
poundage.
Then he appeared before Magistrate
Janvier and swore out warrant for the
arrest of Stopfka and Martin Leonard
proprietor of the Dobbinsville Hotel,
charging them with the larceny and
locking up of one sorrel horse" The af- .
fair has caused considerable talk in the
city. Stopfka alleges that the horse fol-
lowed his horse from the farm, and Leon
ard claims he had as much right to i'm
pound Banks horse as Banks had to i'm.
pound his horse.
Thieves secured about S25 in cash and
liquor from Riley's Hotel in Dobbinsvile.

Eagle Lake, Ind, May 20.-The 1O9th

DEATHS MESSENGER
A Note From the Captain of the
Lost Steamer.
WRECKED FOURTEEN YEARS AGO,

Nothing Heard From Any of Her Forty
Passengers Until Bottle Contain
ing the Last Message Is Dug Up
From the Sandy Beach.
Bayfield,, Wis, May 20.-Fiye miles
south Of this harbor, half imbedded in
the sand on the beach, James Taggart,
lumberman, discovered the first mes
sage from the 40 persons who perished
in the wreck of the steamer Manistee
nearly IA years ago. 1t was a note
carefully inclOsed in a heavy glass bot
tie. The writing had faded with the
lapse of years, and the glass of the
bottle worn thin with its constant
beating aginst the sandy shores of
Chequamagon bay. The message, which
is dated Nov. 2S, 1883, and signed by
Captain Mckay, is as follows: Left
bayfield, at lilo p. m. Just in sight of
Michigan lighthouse. We may not sur
vive the storm. Heavily laden and hard
to turn in the storm" There is a gen.
eral impression in this town that the
note is genuine. The action of the sand
and waves on the bottle shows that 1t
has been tossed around the beach for
long time The faded writing also proves
concusively that the note was not
written few weeks or months ago
for the purpose of hoax.
The Manistee was a wooden steamer,
and on the night she went down she
was on the way from Bayfield, to
Ontanagon on her trip to Chicago 1t
was to have been the last trip of the
season. A north gale began shortly
after the steamer left port, and the
weather was bitterly cold, the ther-
mometer registering nearly zero. The
fate of the Manistee was never known.
A searching expedition was fitted out,
but the only result of this was the
finding of some wreckage from the
lost boat. Out of the 40 persons on
board when she went down no one
was left to tell how the steamer sank,
nor were any bodies washed ashore.

STOCK AND PRODUCE MARKETS.
Dizziness Led by New Jersey Central
nul Chlrnpo Gns-A Final RulIN


New York, May 19.-The firmness shown
by the many standards shares rather
stormy vicssitudes of the days stock
market was quite remarkable consider
ing the existence of two such centers
OF depression as New Jersey Central all
day and Chicago Gas in the late dealings,
after the receipt Of news of the defeat
in the Illinois Legislature of the bill per-
mitting consolidation of gas companies.
To estimate the extent of the influence
that might have been exercised upon
the general market by these two stocks
it must be considered that the two abb
sorbed over 81 GOO out of u total Of 150.0OO
shares dealt in on the exchange for the
day, Chicago Gas alone being credited
with 63,010 SHARES. The decentralization in
this stock carried prices generally below
the close last night. but final rally in
the market brought many prices back
near TO last nights close, or fractionally
above it. Closing bids:

Monticello, KY, May 20-News has
reached here of the cremation of a
farmer named Thomas Biddle, his wife
and three children, on White Oak

Some tramps had asked permission OF
Biddle to build a fire in his barn to
keep them warm during the night. Bid
die refused to allow them t. do this,
and ordered them to leave. The same
night Biddle's house was destroyed by
fire and the whole family roasted alive.
1t is supposed the tramps applied the
torch to the house out of revenge.
