John Walsh, one Of the Delaware

farer the following communication:
''Allow me, through the columns Of
your paper, to inform the public Of the
gross outrage that is being perpe-
trated in the very heart Of our city. It
is a crime against humanity. A young
man, whose name is Lawrence Dren-
men, OF Company M. First Delaware
Volunteers, was arrested for some
breach Of military discipline, taken to
The Armory and confined in the cellar,
three or four foot under ground, al
though there is plenty OF room up
stairs. The man is sick, perhaps suf-
fering from typhoid fever. He sleeps
on the hard boards. with only one light
blanket to cover him. and an armed
guard is on duty to prevent him from
escaping.
Now, the laie war WAS wagld for the
cake OF humanity. My humble voice
is raised in behalf or a suffering hui
man being. If he has any friends in
Wilmington would earnestly ask
them to do something for him. I have
written this in the hope that someone
an higher power than / am will take an
interest in the matter. Anyone who
doubts the truth OF these statements
can go to the Armory and see for him

Nevada Apples in London.

The fact is gradually dawning on
the outside world that Nevada apples
are the best grown anywhere in tie
United States. Nevada took the first
prize at Philadelphia, New Orleans
and Chicago for her apples and to win
out at each Of these great Expositions
naturally set apple buyers thinking.
AS a result Nevada apples have been
more and more in demand all over
the East. Their fame has spread to
London and a few weeks ago Ross
Levers of 'Washoe Valley filled an
order OF one carload OF apples for
London. They wanted three car
loads, but he was unable to furnish
them as he had to fill other orders.
The reason Nevada apples are IN
such demand over the California. var
iety, is because they are crisp and
juicy and can be shipped anywhere
in the world. The apples raised In
the hot climate of California would
be soft and mushy by the time they
had crossed the sea. Apple trees
must have cold w1nter weather such
as they get in Nevada to be good
shippers. An apple grown in a uild
climate and by an artificial irrigation
is soft, mushy and tasteless. With
your eyes shut you a hardly dis
tinRuished it from a potato. The Ne
vada apple is full Of delicious juice,
is crisp and palatable and has a
cleavage" when you set your teeth in
it. Besides this it keeps all winter
and each variety has its distinct flavor
that comes from a soil to be found
nowhere else in the world. "
This is but the beginning of a de,
mand for Nevada apples that will
make orchards a very profitable IN
dustry in this State. We can raise
all the apples for the world to con-
sumo and make the foothills Of Me-
vada blossom by the square mile

Boss Tweed,s Papera.

According to alate dispatch there
ID at least one man in New York who
holds the happiness, honor and for
tune Of a great many people in the
hollow Of his hand. This man is w.
E. D. Stokes. Mr.. Stokes came into
possession Of all the private papers
Of VIM. M. Twied several years ago.
He has made a thorough study Of
them, with the idea Of writing a book
on the subject.
According to his story. more than
S1L,OOO,OO0 was paid out by the
~Boss" for brides and buying up in
dividuals that other people to this
day know nothing about. Evidences
Of these payments are still Ill exist
ence, with the Endorsements of the
parties directly concerned.
The surrender Of Tweed by the
Spanish Government after his secape
from Ludlow-Street Jail is described
by the papers in the possession of Mr..
Stokes as political work to secure the
election Of a Republican President.
Mr.. Stokes says also there is a real
confession of Tweed in existence,
which is likely to be published, and
which is bound to create the live
lest kind of a stir. He saya Tweed's
diary is the most interesting of all
the papers. 1t contains references
to everyone that called on him and
his business, showing that nearly
everyone could be treated with on a
cash basis.
The papers were delivered to Mr..
Stokes by a man whom he had be-
friended.
