liner Young has reported to the comp

Pittsburg, which closed its doors on
Tuesday, is solvent. The report states
that the failure of Mr.. Adolph Groet-
singer, the president of the bank, re-
suited in a run, and the directors closed
the doors for the purpose of voluntary
liquidation. The clearing house COM
mittee agreed with the directors that
this was the best thing to do, and the
suspension followed.

PLENTY OF CRABS.

Edward r. Pusey, Of this city,. has
returned from a two-days' pleasure
trip on the Eastern Shore Of Maryland.
One of his relatives says that while
there he had an exciting experience
with crabs, which sre unusually plentl-
ful this year. II this relative Ia telling
thc truth, and the Wayfarer w,u'l not
for an instant 'mpeach his vefaclty.
especially in the community in which
he lives, the crabs were so Thick that
they Immediately cleaned the bait off
the lines and thsn endeavored 10 climb
into the boat to eat the fisherman. With
the greatest OF difficulty he pushed his
boat through them and reached shore.
Leaving the boat he went to the house
for help When he came back he found
that the crabs had eaten the boat and
that four or five OF them were fight
ing over one OF the oar-locks. Some o.
the crustaceans were caught and cook
ed, but they savored so strongly o.
cedar planks and copper rivets thai
they were repugnant to the palate.
The Wayfarer admits that the story
is both weird and uncanny, but th'
fact that the plot is laid on the Easterr
Shore of Maryland should initiate II

..wHEN LONDON SLEEPS. -


One of the most successful Of the i'm
ported melo-dramas is When London
Sleeps" which is announced for the
opening attraction at the Grand opera
House on Friday evening next. Mr..
Darrell, the author, has gone this time
to the circus ring for his principal
characters, and it is admitted that he
has drawn them with considerable
skill, and given on the whole a strik-
ing picture. Most people hold In strong
affection the merry din and innocent
fun of the sawdust strewed ring--it is
treasured among their earliest pleas
ures-and hence a peep behind the cur.
tains into one of the tragedies Of hui
man life. in which the heroes Of child
hood play a leading part, appeals with
! Irresistible force, alike to curiosity and
sympathy. The sensational scene so
necessary for modern melO-drama and
which is so often dragged in, becomes
in this case n most natural one.
Queenie, the heroine. in the first por-
tions Of the play, is introduced as q
slack wire walker, and when she finds
herself locked in a burning building
which has been fired by the villain, fol
the purpose OF uebuHy lnB heI anu d
little child under her protection, she
escapes by treading a telegraph wire
reached from an attic window, carry
ing the child on her back. The title o.
the play is ostensibly derived from on'
OF the main incidents and most daring
scenes-a house of infamy into which
the heroine has been lured and which
> thrives when London Sleeps though
matter Of fact tradition has it tha
7 London never sleeps. The play il
mounted in an elaborate manner and {
perfect production is promised.

Northampton counties, on the Eastern
Shore of Virginia, and was overhowing
with information concerning persons
and things in that section.
'sThe rain have been excessive down

a section OF country two feet under
water, and the current which was
sweeping through one corn-fieid would
have run a grist mill. There were
places where one Of our shad skifs

N VETERAN FRoM SPAIN.

One OF the Oldest Spanish truckers
who comes to the Wilmington market
is James Norton, who has been a fig
ure at the truck wharf for fully a quar-
ter OF a century. The Wayfarer has
seen him time and time again, for he
spends four months Of each year on
this side of the Delaware. The other
eight months he looks after his BABY
boy Jim, who now weighs 200 pounds,
and is working his farm near Penns-
willie. His boy recently made him a
grandpap, and he says that next
Christmas they will have a big dinnsI
in honor OF the youngster. Jim NO
has been for so many gears identified
with Wilmington that, it is said, dur
ing the eight months which he spends
in Spain, he does not know a happ,
moment, there being a constant long
ing for his old companions on tbs
Christiana.
