DETECTIVE m'vty RETURNS.


duct Mrs. BotRin Fsiied.
State Detective Bernard j. McVey
arrived in this city yesterday week
after fruitless effort to bring
Mrs. Cordelia G. Botlsin from CALI
fornia to this State for trial on the
charge of numbering Mrs. j. Presley
Dunning and Mrs. Joshua d. Deane of
Dover, by means of poisoned candy.
The detective left this city for Sun
Francisco on August 22d, and although
Mrs. Botkin was taken into custody by
the California authorities, her attor-
neys successfully fought the applica-
tion to allow her to be brought to
Delaware.
The detective was much pleased with
his treatment by the police authorities.
The climate did mott however, agree
with him, for he lost about 80 pounds
and now has severe cold. ~
When the legal efforts to secure
Mrs. Botkin sseemed unavailing, a
scheme was planned for the abduction
of the woman after the granting Of ex-
tradition papers. The plan was to put
her on board tugboat and then CON
vey her to vessel bound for New
York by way of Cape Horn. But all
was in vain because of tho tangling
effects of numerous legal processes.
Before reaching San Francisco, De-
tective McVey was met by. a delega-
| tion of reporters and while in the city
he was besieged by them.

CALEB 1.ArLOR's GOV.
IL Has Been an Use for sixty Years, and Its
Owner Prizes It Highly.

Caleb Taylor of West Chester is the
owner of a gun which he has used for
60 years and it is still in good con-
dition for work among the game. The
firearm is one of very old style and
is aimuzzle- loader, such as was carried
by the grandfather of most men now
living. At one time the piece was a
flint-lock, but it was changed by Mr..
Taylor to percussion locks many years
ago. The barrels are of the finest steel
and the workmanship is splendid, but
it shows the ravages of time and the
stock is in a rather dilapidated con-
dition. 1t would still do good service,
however.
IF had all the game have killed
with that gun in one heap" said MIR.
Taylor recently, II could probably
furnish meal for every family in
West Chester. 1t has done great work
in its time. -
The owner is extremely fond of the
old piece and would not trade it for
one Of the latest in the market,

Probability That cuban Ore VIII be Brought
Direct to This City ana Distributed to
Other Places.
A movement is on foot which may
result in Wilmington becoming ship
ping centre for parties interested in
sending Cuban ore to the United
States. The advantages of the city
have been investigated and encouraging
reports made. It is also probable that
some of the ore will be used in this
city.
Should the plans materialize as now
laid out, the steamers bringing the ore
here will in all probability leave with
cargoes of coal, which might neces-
state the establishment of extensive
coal wharves on the Delaware River.
This would be advantageous TO coal
handlers, as the additional 60 miles
between Wilmington and Philadelphia,
on the round trip, and the ice jam in
the horseshoe above this city, which is
an impeachment to navigation in win
ter would be avoided. fGi ts3
