harbor were arraigned yesterday be-
fore city magistrate.
Captain G. A. y. Norton, Of Hartford,
Conn.,, who organized the committee of
passengers which took possession Of
the steamboat and held the gang Of
gamblers and blacklegs at bay until
the boat reached her pier, was present
to prosecute the man who had stabbed
at him and threatened to throw him
overheard. With him were several
other passengers.
The prisoners were Captain Alexan-
der Sterck. of the Georgeanna; his pi-

and Charles Berry, who had chartered
the boat. and the other alleged gam
blers, Edward P. Sherman. Frank
Jones, John Wills. George Lyons,
Charles Baldwin, William Sims, Will
lam H. Cutler. Robert Stone and
James Martin.
Captain Norton told the story Of the
AFFAIR IN few words. He declared
that the boat was advertised to take
passengers to the race for 81. At the
last moment everybody on the pier
was invited to take free ride, and
the boat started with 600 passengers.
AS soon as the boat left the dock all
sorts Of gambling games were started
up, while no attempt was made to fol-
low the racers. Tho respectable pas
sengers held meeting, took posses
sion of the boat. signaled for the police,
and in defending their signal there was
some lively fighting, during which
many pockets we're picked. It was tes-
titled that the gamblers forcibly robbed
passengers of their watches, jewelry
and pocketbooks and escaped before
the police boat came alongside. 1t ia as
serted that the thugs got from $4,000 to
$4,000.
The evidence showed that Charles
Berry, the alleged leader Of the gang,
was desperate character, and that he
slashed Captain Norton's coat with a
knife in the effort to stab him. Berry,
who denied the accusation, was held
In $1,000 bail for further examination

charged with splitting open the scalp

in 81 900 bail for examination on the
same day.
=. Captain Sterck was fined $40, and as
the witnesses all said that the pilots
had behaved themselves during the
whole of the excitement, they were dis
charged.

. there are one or more
opium joints in this city, where
young girls and young boys can hit
the pipe. 1t makes no difference to
the yellow devils who run these
places OF infamy, what age their
victims are, SO long as they have
the price of the dope. Wilmington
has been free OF such places until
the last three years. They should
be run out OF business by the auth
critics. All it would require would
be for some one to enter complaint
with the Chief of Police, and be
ready to appear when the proprietor
should be pulled, SO that Il case
could be made out against him. The
places are run as chop suey houses
which is only blind for conducting
a more lucrative business. Opium
smoking is one Of the worst evils
that men or women can become in

to the level of the pduper and makes

lively the most expensive aggregation Of

trance into the vaudeville field was the
result OF a nIttering offer from Keith,
and she has been one of the distinct hits
Of the season. She ranks with such pe,l-
pie as Madame Tavarv and Pauline hall

more than ordinary interest. Arthur

Grand Opera House here with his own
company in "The Colonel" will give an
abbreviated version CT ''The Colonel"

TEE Sussex Republican and one
Or two other papers act as though
the election Of u. S. Senator was
Of more Importance than the cleo
tion of a Governor, member of Con-
gress and the various other candi-
dates provided for under our new
constitution. They show that they
are actuated by spite or prejudice,
rather than principle. The voters
generally care much more about the
election of all Republican candi-
dates than they do about the election
OF any man to the U. S. Senate.
They wish to give Mckinley the
electoral vote Of the State, to elect
a Governor, lieutenant governor,
member Of Congress, a majority of
the members OF the Legislature,
sheriff, coroner and other officers.
After having done this it will be
time enough to read men out OF the
party and quarrel over the Senator
1t is silly to fight over the name of
a child before it is certain one will
be born. These valiant Republi-
cans. who are continually talking
about the evils of certain individu-
ais are the best allies the Democrats
have, as it is only through the con-
'tinned division in the Republican
party that they can hope to elect
Democrats to any Office in the State.
The Republicans might as we'll de-
cry the reelection Of President
Mckinley, the continuance of the
tariff, the unfolding OF the gold
standard of our money, and the
putting down of the Fillpinos, as to
throw any obstruction in the way
.of union of the Republicans in
our State at the next election. AT
ter achieving victory, it will be
time enough TO fight yer the offices.
To fight beforehand is the height of
folly; it indicates 4 lack of sense or
desire for Democratic success
