MOSES BULLOCK BACK.
He Left Home Seventeen
Years Ago.
HIS WIFE MoUREED HIM FOR DEAD
HE NEVER WROTE TO HER AND
His RETURN WAS LIKE THE
DEAD COMING TO LIFE-HE RE-
FUSES TO SPEAK TO HER NOW.

About seventeen years aga Moses s.
Bullock left his wife and home, appar-
emily to go to his work. He never re-
turned. Years rolled by and no tidinRs
come Of the missing man. His family
gave him up as lost, though on sew
eral occasions, it is said, that the tru-
ant had written several letters to
friends in Wilmington, but never a
word to his family or relatives.
About one year ago Bullock waspass-
ing along Market street, in this city,
when he was accosted by a friend who
had known him when a young man.
Bullock was asked concerning himself
and told his QuestiOner that he was a
travelling salesman for a morocco firm.
Bullock asked how his friends we're.
but net a word did he say of his FAM
lily. II is often said that when Greek
meets Greek a chaos comes, that is If
nature wills II so. ust as Bullock and
the friend were talking, young man
passed up the street. He was Howard
Bullock, the truants son. The friend
knew the boy, and as he passed lac
said to Bullock: do you see that
young man going up the street p
Yes" responded Bullock. Why?"
well, that young man is your son,
said the friend.
Bullock never said a word, but gazed
long and earnestly after the passing
boy.
The day after Bullock saw his son he
made a determined effort to see hiE
and he did. IL was ON Market street
The son passed down ON the left hand
side of the street. Bullock and thl
self-same friend who pointed the bo,
out to him, we're together Either
Bullock CT the friend hailed the boy
and after an introduction father anl
son met for the first time.
They went about the town togethe
and the father bought everything hi
son asked asked He also gave him $50
They spent a week in each others com
pany and one day the father left tn
city very uncerimoniously. The sol
has never seen him since.

THREE MEN ARRESTED ON SUSPI-
CION, AND ONE HELD IN BALTI-
MORE AWAITING ACTION OF THE
KENT AUTHORITIES.
Chestertown, Nd, June 21.-The lit
tie village of Smithville, in Kent coun-
ty, seven and a half miles from Ches-
tertown, was thrown into state Of in
tense excitement Saturday afternoon
by a vicious assault by a negro man
upon Mrs. William Smith. The woman
is the wife of a young farmer. She is
decidedly prepOssessing and about 26
years old. When seen by a correspon-
dent yesterday morning she gave the
following details of the brutal assault
which resulted in her being knocked un-
conscious and the subsequent robbery
of the house. She said in substance:
Il was in the dining-rOom ironing,
while my husband and Fred. Wilson
were in the field at work about two
hundred yards from the house. l sup
pose it was between and o'clock
when heard the door opening from the
front room into a small hall connected
by door with the room in which was
at work / thought that some neighbor
trying to scare me. l looked out the
window for my neighbor's carriage, but
seeing none put several sticks of wood
into the stove and then opened the door
into the little hall at the foot of the
back stairway. In an instant l saw
that a strange person was there and the
next moment / was knocked uncon-
scious by a brutal blow and fell help
less to the floor. can only say that
the man was of bony build and was OF
a chocolate color. He wore a slOuct
hat pulled down over his ears and eyes
1t all happened so quickly that l could
not now identify my assailant. When
/ came to l was lying on the floor, with
my head aching and my knee dislOcated
as a result of my fall. / crawled out OF
the house and gave the alarm"
A decided scar over the right eye
bore evidence of the stunning blow.
This assault following so closely the
assault upon the public road of Mrs
Goodwin, and both crimes in broad day
light, has naturally created the greates'
uneasiness among the people.
Sheriff Casey yesterday afternoon ar.
rested Frank Hicks and and Abraham
Castle upon suspicion and lodged then
in Jail.
The sheriff also telegraphed to Mar
shall Frey to hold the man, Emory
J Ford, arrested on the TOlchestel
steamer last night, and will send ovei
a deputy to identify him, and, If neces
sary, to bring him to Kent county.
The arrest was made in Baltimore b!
Sergeant Stride as the negro steppeC
off the steamer Louise at Light stree
wharf. He was locked up at the south
ern police station. He denies tn
charge. His arrest was the result of ;
statement made to Special Office,
Gates, of the steamer Louise
by the sheriff Of Kent county
who Saturday night notifie,
Gates that Ford was on the boat just al
the steamer left Tolchester. Justic
Caulk committed the prisoner for a fur
ther hearing next Saturday, by whicl
time, it is thought, the Kent count!
authorities will claim Ford.

THEY ARE NOT AS FRIENDLY AS

Theodore Brown, the Union Republi-
can candidate for councilman in the
Eleventh ward, and ex-Chairman Fred
ericlS IL. Bach, regular Republican, are
not us good friends as they were a
week before the election. There is a
story going tn rounds as to the causes
leading up to the estrangement.
IL seems that by the agreement be-
tween the regulars and Addicksites
every assurance Of fair play and recip-
recall work was given. On the Thurs
day before the city election Bach went
cut to the Eleventh ward to address a
meeting Of Poles. Brown was present
at the meeting. Bach first made q
speech in English in which he extolled
the virtues and fitness OF Brown fOI
the position TO which he aspired
Browne were an Sx10 smile OF satisfac.
ticn. Then, so the story goes, BacE
switched of into German.
Sons OF the land OF Thaddeus o

this man Brown. who is asking yol

his party and he will not be true L
you. Your present representative II
Council Is Harry Smith. He Is a goo

by no means permit this man Brown
to go to Council from your ward. -
Brown could not understand a wor'
Bach said, but at the conclusion Of hi
/ D. "a
kind words he had uttered.
Next day one Of te Poles met Brow
and asked:
Mr. Prown, vat kind ov a man va

Hes a bully fellow" said Brown.
"Vell, hits dam phunny." said tn
Pole I'm English he say you vas

This set Brown to thinking and in

that he had been duped.

LUMBER OVERHEARD.
UNACCOUNTABLE ACTION OF A
READING TUG OFF NEW CASTLE
DURING THE NIGHT.

One of the Reading railway tugs, with
a tow of barges collided late on Satur-
day night with the schooner J. c. At
kins near Fort Delaware. The At
kins' deck load of lumber was knocked
overheard and the vessel cut down to
the waters edge.
Notwithstanding that she was in a
sinking condition the tug proceeded
without offering assistance. The tug
Lille Graham, in command of Captain
Paul lie Compt, rescued the crew from
the sinking craft and finally beached
the vessel on the flats near New Castle
where she now lies full Of water.
Had it not been for the prompt work
of the Graham both vessel and cargo
would have been a total loss.
