City Marshal Otto Olson and jailer
VIM. Boyer deserve the credit of hav-
ing discovered and frustrated an at
tempt on the part Of some, Of the
prisoners IN the county Jail to saw out
a hole in the wall whereby they might

some Of the prisoners for several days,
and on Saturday discovered, hidden
under the top Of the table in one Of the
cells, two case knives and spoon.
One Of the case knives had been used
as a substitute :or file, with which
teeth had been cut In the other knife.
OF course 1t is not known just how the

A first 1 wondered why they came
down here at all. but that soon became
plain to me. I was standing on the deck
one day when a young fellow and a girl
boarded us. The girl was very. very
pretty. They had the telltale look on
their faces. n h young man ap-
preached me very politely.

REDRESS FROM THE ExPaessMAN.
Your Chances Of Getting Damages IL He
Doesn't Deliver Your Trunk ON Time.

From the New York Sun.
IF l hire an expressman to take my
trunk to the station and he fails 10
do IL and I lose a train and have all
sorts of trouble. how much money can
l get from the expressman IL I sue
him." is a question frequently asked.
In the case of George De Leon against
Edward Mckernan and others, re-
Gently decided, the appellate division
of the supreme court has answered this
question. The facts. as stated in the
opinion. were that on the morning of
Oct. 30. 1897. the plaintiff. a
cial traveller, asked the defendants IL
they could get his trunk down to Pier
A., North river. before IL o'clock a. m,
as The boat pom which he was to
go to Barbados sailed promptly at
noon The defendants said they could
and the plaintiff paid them so cents
expressage. The trunk was not deliv-
cred until after ~ O'Clock. after the
boat had sailed. with the plaintiff en-
board. As the trunk contained impor-
tant articles for use in Barbados. which
rendered IL essential for him to taxe
it with him. De Leon got of the boat
at Sandy Hook and hired a tug TO
bring him back to New York. where
he remained 16 days. waiting for the
next boat to Barbados.
Among other expenses. the plaintiff
testified that he paid SIS for the tug.
1884 for a cable dispatch to Barbados,
$12 for room rent. $50 for living ex-
penses during his stay i'm New York,
and $40 for an extra ticket to Baroa-
does. a total of 1864. The trial judge
decided that under the proofs the item
of SO for the extra ticket was the only
direct damage resulting from the de-
PENDANTS default. The appellate divis-
ion. in deciding that that amount,
with 1881 costs of the suit added, was
a correct allowance. gives the reason
as follows:
In view of the fact that plaintiff
gave no intimation to the defendants
of the consequences that would follow
their failure to perform their contract
We do not think that the items of al
legged damages under consideration can
be reasonably supposed to I'VE been
within the contemplation Of the con-
tracing parties at the time OF making
the contract. as naturally following its
violation by the defendants"

HORSE MEAT PArTIEs.
After swindiinE His Patrons for
Eight Years a Paris Provision
Merchant In Caught.

Perdon, n provision merchant Of
Paris, has been justly sent to prison
Tor eight months on charge of selling
horse patties, says the Paris CORE
spondent ~ the London Telegraph.
There was no doubt in the least about
his guilt, and he can never be held up
to his contemporaries or to posterity
as the victim Of a judicial error. The
bogdereau in his case was small Jar
or pot, which was produced in court.
1T was marked outside with the mys-
terious letters M. H." and the magic
words pate de foie gras which general
ly appeal to epicures.
This alleged pot Of goose liver was
simply horsefesh, and, as an official
analyst remarked in court, it was bad
at that. Perdon also sold pots or jars
Of alleged patties of duck, pheasant
quail, hare and lark, but they were all
of the same foundation. He bought old
horses in the knackers' yards, boiled
their flesh, mixed it with a little pork
fat spiced it with nutmeg, ginger and
cayenne pepper, poured some rum
kirseh or eau de vie over 1t, and then
put it into the duly labeled pots.
The letters IN. H." were originally
intended to mean honorable mention
but being brought TO bay in court, Per,
don tried to defend himself by assert
ing that they signifed "melange hippo.
phagique," and that surely the custom
ers knew what they were buying. II
was no wonder that the learned magis
trate presiding in the correctional
court remarked, with more emphasis
than elegance: ''Vous avez un rude
toupet (You have a hard cheelx)." Per
don had been befooling his customer.
with horse patties for the last eight
years. He has now gone to reioin il
Jail the man who sold skinned cat.

FISHING OFF A MAN-oF-w WAR.
One Particularly Exciting Catch
which Raised Row Among
the tackles.

The followers Of Izaak Walton on
board man-of-war are wont to ply tlse
gentle art with a line alone) from over
the ships side during the evening. a
sublieutenant, who was not particular
ly liked by his junior messmates, was
one day so engaged, when a midship-
man, seeing the line depending from
the 'chains" above, reached out of one
of the main deck ports and gave it Q
couple of violent tugs, in imitation of a
fish biting. Up the line was hauled with
alacrity, but of course with no result.
Once again the Sub" essayed 10 catch
this big fish that had given him SO
heavy a bite, says Cornhill Magazine.
This time the middy's plan was more
elaborate, for getting a companion to
keep the necessary strain upon the
upper portion, he hauled up the lower
part of the fishing line and attached to
the hooks an old shoe, an empty bottle,
holy stone and a sardine tin. Having
carefully lowered these TO the fun ex-
tent of the line, he gave it more pow
erful pun than ever, and the expect
ant fisherman above hauled in as fast as
he could, hand over hand. But his Ian
guage when he discovered the nature OF
his "catch" is too much to ask even an
unfortunate compositor TO set up in
cold type.

MILLIONS OF STEPS.
A London nus Conductor Does Lit
tie Figuring on His ExtraOr-
dinRry FoOtwOrk.

You know how tiring it is to climb up
a fight Of steps, even when they are
well made and nicely upholstered, but
the chances are that you have never
given the bus conductor thought, al
though he probably climbs more stairs
than any other individual in the world,
says the New York Telegram. An
obhging London bus conductor has
gone into the matter, and, being an
adept at figures, as the majority of bus
conductors are, he quickly evolved the
following interesting facts:
"There are" he said, "nine steps from
the platform 70 the top Of the bus, and
it is rather undertaking it TO say that ]
climb that fight of steps 12 times an
hour during the IS hours am on duty
every day; 20 would be nearer the mark,
but to be on the safe side we will put II
down as 12.
"Nine steps at 10 times an hour, Is
hours a day, seven days a week, makes
the nice little total of 11,34o a week
1880 a month or 5s9,6sO a year. The
number of times step of the bus and
on again and the incidental number OF
steps climb like any other individual
ia the ordinary course Of life brings the
annual total up, reckon, to 6Oo,OOC
steps year.
"Been at this job long? Well, I've
been working this route just p years
so that I've climbed quite 12,6O0,OOC
steps during that time. don't notice
il now, but / did at first 60 off,"

wARsHIps PASS UP THE RIVER
NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON
VIEWED BY MANY WHINING
TONIANS YESTERDAY.

The North Atlantic Squadron, in
command of Admiral Sampson, passed
up the Delaware river yesterday and
was seen by many persons in this city.
1t was about 10 o'clock when the ships
passed this city.
First came the dispatch boat Dol
phin, which was quite a distance ahead
of the fleet, and then came the New
York, with Admiral Sampson, and then
the Texas, Brooklyn and Massachu-
sets, which were about one-half mile
apart.
Hundreds of people from this city
viewed the vessels as they passed up
the river some from the roofs of high
buildings and others from New Castle.
After it was known that the fest had
passed hundreds Of people took advan-
tage of the Wilmington Steamboat
Company's boats and went to Philadel-
phia to get a good view of the war
ships and the boys in blue who had
won the day in Santiago.
It was 10 o'clock on Friday morning
that the squadron weighed anchor al
Newport, after a pleasant stay at that
resort, and began the trip to Philadel-
phia. Arriving at Bombay Hook on
Saturday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock q
stop was made there until yesterday
morning, and then, soon after O'Clock
the journey was resumed.
The party to welcome the squadron

First sight of the squadron as it wa

those on the Somerset as Chester wa
neared. The great white hulls of tn
vessels could be seen several mile
below in the river, and it seemed a

The rottenest financial condition
imaginable exists in Sussex county,

sponsible for 1t. Our state finances
we're never in better condition. Kent

in manner which is most pleasing to
the taxpayers. New Castle county has
excellent credit and can borrow at a
low rate of interest all the money
needed, and more. too. But in the f.
nancial world Sussex county, thanks tC
Union Republican mismanagement, il
o byword and a reproach. Her orders
are being hawked around and dis
counted. Those who obtain them fol
services rendered or materials fur

men who can afford to store then

The truth has come home with mos
