ITEMS FROM new CASTLE
Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN,
NEW CASTLE, September 10, 1891

Charles Becker, owner Of the champion
skiff Little Paul, In speaking OF o ch2kf
lenge by the Sunshine, said last evening,
for over 20 years the Little Pearl has been
recognized as Queen of the Delaware. The
pennants won by her in that time bear
testimony to the fact. When the last race
was announced the owners of skiffs knew
that they were to sail with "catch" sail.
When the Sunshine came hero she objected
to the style in which the Little Pearl was
rugged. 49,,
Her owner had perfect right to object
to anything or every thing, even tho fact OF
tho way the tide ran But he had not then,
nor now, any grounds for objections to the
manner Of rigging. The Littlo Pearl has
two sets OF sails, and neither OF them Would
suit the Sunshine. 1t Is all folly to talk OF
spending $50 for new sails to join S25
race.

RESISTING EvIcTloNs.
Women Carry Back the Furniture OF
a Family Forced Out.

Family EOrcou outs
Pittsburs, Sept. 10. The work of
evicting the striking miners at Plum
Creek and Clarksville was begun yes
terday, and as a result Of the evictions
serious trouble is threatened by mob
of women, who are armed with clubs
and baseball bats and are awaiting
the arrival Of Superintendent DeArmit
and the deputy sheriffs.
At 8 o'clock yesterday morning 10
deputies evicted James McCabe and his
family from one Of the company houses
at Plum Creek. Little resistance was
offered at the time, but as soon as the
house had been emptied and the furni-
tnre piled UP In the middle of the
street the women gathered in front OF
the house of the evicted family. I'm
mediately after the deputies had gone
the women forced an entrance to the
house again and carried the furniture
back. Desperate resistance will be Of
fered In case n second attempt is made
to evlct the family.
Three hours later the 10 deputies ar
rived at Clarksvile and evicted John
Puks and his family. They are Polish
people. but have many friends at
Clarksville The same tactics were re-
sorted to there after the deputies had
completed their work. The furniture
was carried into the house again, and
Puke, his family and several friends
have installed themselves there pre-
pared to make trouble for the deputies
If they again attempt to evict them.
The deputies have sent for Superin-
tendent DeArmit. and he is expected
hero at any time. The news Of his
coming spread like wildfre, and the
women of Clarksville have gathered
outside Puke's home. They are all
armed In one way or another, and are
sufficiently aroused to attack the dep
uties as soon as they return.

The wreck was caused by the mis-
