LEVY BROKE THE LAW.
Must Answer in Court for the Fract-
ure Thereof.

Eta Levy who holds a license
for Il pawn broker shop IN the
rooms No. 4S5 Exchange Building
was brooght before City Court last even
ing, on charge of breaking Section 10,
of the Act known as the pawn brokers
bill which was passed in the last legis-
laturc, The act Is one which compel s
all pawnbrokers to hold goods pawned
for at least five days, and during these
five "no one" can take the goods from
the pawn shop. Mrs. Levy was arrest
ed for not living up to the requirements
of the act, and now the case will go to
the Supreme Court.
The object Of the bill was to give time
to police officials to run down clues for
stolen goods. Previous to the passing OF
this act man who stole coat ard
pawned it for 81, could go and sell his
Dawn ticket for any amount, 25 cents for
instance, and thereby made $l.25 for his
steal. Furthermore, the coat would net
remain in the pawn shop long enough to
give the official time enough to run it
down.
Cartain Dolan, who had the bill
drawn, said it was OF the greatest aid in
assisting the officials to recover stolen
goods that had been pawned, and that
this was the first case that they knew OF
in which it was carried out. The offence
il grave one and the fine attached is
$500. Mrs. Levy waived a hearing and
was placed under $500 bail.

BRITISH FORCETAKESKASSALA
Col. Carsons Occupies the Town in the
Interests of Egypt,

ROME Dec. 2O.-Col. Parsons, who
started from Suakim in the early part Of
November at the head of British force
500 strong to take, over the town of
kassala from the Italians, has arrived at
that place and taken possession of it in
the interests OF Egypt.
kassala is fortified town in Nubia,
not far from the northern boundary Of
Abyssinia, and is an important CONNER
cial and military centre. BY the terms
Of a protocol between England,
acting for Egypt, and Italy,
signed on April 10, 1891, the Italians
obtained leave to occupy Kassala, which
had been in the possession of the Der
wishes since 1855. This protocol was
agreed to with the understanding that
the town was to be restored to Egypt
whenever Egyptian rule should be re-
established in the Soudan.
After a long campaign the Italians
under Gen. Baratieri captured the place
in July, 1894.
Soon after the disastrous defeat OF Gen.
Baratieri in March, 1896, force of 3O,-
600 Deryishes laid siege to the place.
The Italians repuIsed the attack, but
subsequently withdrew their garrison.

THE HOME. MISSION in NEED.
All are Asked to Give q Helping Hand
and Render Assistance to
the Poor.

Rev. c. II. O'Brien, who is superin-
tcndcnt Of the Peoples Mission, at No.
III Ship!ey street, and WHO has success
fully conducted that institution for the
past six weeks, is compelled to request
the people Of the city to again show then
generosity and liberal feelings toward
the poor Of this city.
Rev. O'Brien, who is straining every
nerve and making every effort to accom-
plsh good, yesterday stated that food,
clothing, Toys and many small articles
would be greatly appreciated ii sent to
the above institution.
No doubt those who were interested in
the Mission some few weeks ago know
the many hearts tIat were made happy
by the Thanksgiving dinner that was
given to the poor on that day. There
we're 1865 people served, boys, girls, men
and women, of all ages, who came to the
feast, simply thinking that their craving
appettcs would for once be satisfied.
1t is now the intention of Rev.
O'Brien to have Christmas tree set up,
decorated with useful and necessary
articles, on Monday, December n, and
again invite the poor of this city to come
and enjoy themselves as best as they can,
and then they will be given whatever
articles are needed, which the institution
will have. Rev. O'Brien remarked that
it was impossible for many poor children
to come to their Home on Shipley street,
on any occasion as they were unable tc
leave their homes because OF a lack ol
clothing te shield their bodies.
It's their intention and desire to sec
to those families, and have their wants
provided for, SO that they may be able tc
come to the Home and receive the bless
ings and generous givings of kind
hearts.
All should give helping hand, oper
their hearts, and by so doing they vii
make many little ones remember DAY
that shall never be forgotten. All arc
invited The articles and money con
tributed should be addressed to the
Home, III Shipley street.

sett sighted the schooner while making
his regular trip from New London to

He at once ran close to the vessel and
one of the Lucy's crew putting off in a
small boat, LANDED dispatches to him to
be sent to shippers and owners, notify
ing them of the fact that the vessel and
cargo would doubtless be total loss.

A Noted Character.

The noisy "Mary Sweatman" was
arrested last evening by Chief of Police
Do!an ON complaint of DR.. Frantz.
Mary has been the cause of considerable
complaint made to the officials by resi-
dents of city and neighbors who reside
in her locality. She is found at all
hours of the night and in all parts of the
city, making noises and playing the part
of one suffering from acute mania. She
will tomorrow undergo an examination
at the hands Of two physicians and in
all probability she will make her future
home at Farnhurst.

Brooklyn, in thirteen rounds, at the

rounds Ernst had the better Of the bout,

Ernst out and made him weak. He at last
Joe Fairburn got the decision over
Elwood McCloskey in a red not fifteen
round kout which went the full limit OF
rounds. Both men are fast boxers and
hard hitters and they put up Il terrific
bout from start to finish
gave up trying to stop these blows OF
Bennctts and was trying by, every pos
sible means to land right hand swing.
He swung at Bennett in the thirteenth
round and Jack caught him on the point
of the jaw with left hand lead as ne
came in. 1t staggered Ernst and before
he could gather himself together, Bennett
landed another stiff left on the jaw.
Ernst went down and was so groggy
whom he got up that the referee stopped
the bout giving Bennett the decision.
TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 2O.--Patsy Gala

LIBEL SUITS INSTITUTED.
Orphans to Benefit by the Results of
the Lesson Which is to be
Administered.

In Superior Court yesterday, II. II.
Ward, representing j. Edward Addicks,
brought suit against Jerome B. Bell, pub
Usher and editor of the Sunday Star, for
criminal libel. AT the same time SINH
lar suit was instituted against Col. +. I.
Cooper, of the Milford Herald. In the
Herald of last Saturday, from the pen of
Col. Cooper appeared vicious, unwar-
ranted and scurrilous article concerning
Mr.. Addicks. In the Sunday Star Of the
day following Mr.. Bell reprinted the
Heralds hysterical attack. These are
the articles on which the suit is based.
Mr.. Addicks in an interview last even
ing stated that the suits against the
Milford Herald, +. I. Cooper and the
Star Publishing Company, were brought
for the purpose Of permitting those de-
PENDANTS to prove their allegations
against him if they could do So He
said that the allegations against his per-
sonal and business good name was Who'll
ly false, and that an impartial jury
would SO find. That the statements in
the libellous articles, were of a sufficient
ly grave nature to merit his attention,
but that they would rebound with re-
doubled force against his detractors.
That during his many years residence
in Delaware, numerous harsh things
had been said and written Of him, and
he had maintained silence and had now
struck back by libel suits. The ilnpur-
tation of personal dishonesty in this
article had made those suits necessary,
as the only possible present answer to
accusations wholly false. He said he
was not after personal gain in the way
of heavy damages, but that any verdict
he should recover would be divided be-
tween the Home for Friendless Children
and the st. Joseph's Colored Orphan
Asylum. .....,
The STAR together with the Milford
Herald, will be brought to a realizing
sense of the meaning OF responsible jocr-
nalism.
For many years the Star has published
department known as "the glasses"
In this column the disappointed and ir-
responsible political outcasts of each
party pour out the venom OF their spite
upon the object OF their wrath. Through
this common sewer, open to the accumU-
lated filth of unprincipled politicians an
other attack was made upon Mr.. Ad-
dicks, as it has been made before upon
many another.
The men who write these letters,
which are always anonymous, are cow
ards, who, not daring to come into the
open, man to man, strike in the dark.
There has been no redress, and this
menace to character and reputation has
been permitted to exist simply because
no one cared to undertake the task of
handling SO much filth.
A mucis needed lesson is to he admin
istered now. Once too often have the
petty once-a-weeks made personal at
tacks upon private character.
The result will in all probability be a
strong intimation to other equally re-
sponsi Die sheets who indulge in the same
questionable form of amusement.

COOL YOUNG WOMAN AT A FIRE
Waits for a Ladder and Goes Down
AIone.---Ten Buildings Burned
in HaWley, Pa.

HAwlEy, Pa, Dec. 20.-Fire destroyed
ten buildings here last night, including
the United States Knitting Mills, $. r.
Evans dry goods store, six dwellings and
two barns. The fire started in the barn
of S. r. Evans, at 10 o'clock. The
destruction of the knitting mill throws
eighty-fve employees out of work.
Hawley has no fire department and a
bucket brigade was formed to fight the
fire.
Alice Klinck, young woman, was
rescued from the third story OF the knit
ting factory. The excited crowd cried
for her to jump, but she cody waited
until ladder was brought. While she
was descending the second round of the
ladder broke. With the agility of a
sailor she caught the next round and
reached the ground in safety amid the
cheers of the crowd.
The loss to property is s25,o00, fully

Playing Pool.

SMYRNA, Dec. 2O.-M. H. Appleton,
manager Of the Singer Sewing Machine
Company, had his pocket-book stolen
from him Saturday eve n'ng while play
ing pool in the Smyrna House.
He and a friend dropped in for game
of pool and Mr. Appleton lost the first
game, which he paid for, taking note
from lis pocket-book and putting the
book in his hip pocket. As he had his
coat off it was an easy matter for the
thief to hastily snatch the pocket-b)ok
from his pocket. He did not discover
his loss until later, but did not recover
the pocket-book, which contained about
five dollars, a note for thirty-nine dollars,
several coupons and other valuable
papers. Mr.. Appleton will no doubt
have the guilty party arrested as proof
of his guilt will soon be established.
