SENSATIONAL RUMoR FROM DOVER

THAT AN UNKNOaVN'S BODY WAS
BURIED FOR COLONEL Il. t.
COOPER, AND THAT HE is NOW
IN THE WEST.
A fake dispatch from Dover to one
Of the Philadelphia papers endeavors
to throw doubt upon the death Of Col

the work Of a penny-a-liner by the
friends of the dead man. The article
Is as follows:
Dover Del, July 2G.-Some most re-
markable rumors have been circulated
throughout this county concerning the
sudden death OF Colonel e. T. Cooper
IN the Trenton prison. One which has
gained much ground among the coun-
try people is that he is still alive and
that the body sent here for interment
a fortnight ago was that of another.
This plan was adopted, they say. by
some of the coloners friends, who,
anding that a pardon would fail, want
ed him to 90 West and begin life all
over without any OF the past weigh
ing him down.
Imaginative persons started the ru-
NOR after hearing friends OF the col
onel declare that they would never
have known the body which was
brought to Wyoming for burial.

PLANS FOR ENCAMPMENT.
PROPOSED ROUTE OF THE GREAT
G. A. R. PARADE MAY BE CHANGED.

/ =
OLD SOLDIERS DON'T LIKE THE
IDEA OF MARCHING OVER MAR
KET sTREET-woRK ON THE
COURT OF HONOR TO BEGIN IN
TWO WEEKS.
As the time draws nearer for the
thirty-third annual reunion of the G..
A. r., to be held in Philadelphia in
September next, local Grand Army
men are becoming more and more in
lterested in the event.
There is still uncertainty about the
route of the great parade which will
occur during the encampment. The
only fault with the route now decided
upon is that the line passes over Mar
ket street. In the jubilee parade, the
route Of which was about three times
as long as the one laid out for the
Iencampment. the Grand Army men,
without exception. said hat they
would not have been fatigued had it
not been for the march on Market
street.
Broad street and Chestnut street are
laid with street asphalt. which makes
marching easy, while Market street
being paved with Belgian blocks. NOT
only makes marching very hard. but
renders a presentable alignment very
hard. The matter will come up at the
executive session Of the general COM
mittee. Another Objectionable feature
about the proposed route is that & is
planned to countermarch on South
Broad street The street is the only
one in the city on which posts can
make a creditable display, but is not
wide enough for two posts to make a
display at one time.
Furthermore, it has been planned to
erect the presidential reviewing stand
in front of the Hotel Walton, and
countermarching would simply spoil
the parade. In all probability the
committee will change the route Of
the parade so that it will not leave
Broad street, despite the protest Of
merchants on Chestnut and Market
streets.
A letter was received at the general
in the old City Hall from
General Ludlow, the military com
mandant of Havana. in which he re-
grets that his duties at Havana will
prevent his being present.
The letter read as follows: General
Ludlow begs to thank the general COM
mittee very sincerely for their invi-
tation to attend the Thirty-third Ma
tional Encampment and Reunion OF
the Grand Army of the Republic at the
city of Philadelphia in September. and
regrets it will not be practicable for
him to be present on that occasion"
Rear Admiral Norton, U. s. n, who
is the hero of naval veterans, cannot
attend the encampment because of his
being in poor health. A letter was re-
ceived from him Monday morning to
that effect. Major-General F. G. But
terrified, commander Of the department.
of Virginia, has informed the commit
tee that he will certainly be present.
The work Of building the great Court
of Honor on Broad street will begin in
about two weeks. The necessary con-
sent of property owners to open the
sidewalks for the erection of pillars,
which will extend along either side
from Spruce TO Cherry street, has
been obtained by the committee. con-
ditional upon their being removed
within four days after the close of the
encampment. Several hundred men
are already at work in shops on the
stan work.

Rendered Deadly by Devices of the Man.
 ufacturer to Increase Weight.
 Science! Thy name is adulteration. Another terror has been added to exist ence by the revelation made by an English trade paper of the processes by which certain manufacturers "fill' the sheets and blankets with which they flood the market. We are told that af- ter piece of waste sheeting has been woven the cloth is passed over trough containing solution of zinc, sulphate of magnesia Commonly known as Ep- som salts) and water This is called sprinkler. A revolving brush plays a spray of these noxious ingredients upon the cloth, with the result that a tifty-pound piece after the operation weighs seven and one-half pounds more than when it left the loom. As the goods are sold by the pound the object is evident. But what about the pur- chaser? A piece cuts up into ten pairs of sheets. Each pair, therefore, con tains three-quarters of a pound of misunderstanding material. The re- suits are appalling. As soon as a wet day comes the sheets become damp and the luckless wight who sleeps be- tween them is apt to contract chill that may send him to the bourne whence no traveller returns. Even if suspicious are aroused and he boldly casts aside the sheets and wraps him. self in the blankets it may avail him nothing. For the blanket makers have learned the trick, and the same ill-re- suits may ensue. Next we shall hear that the counterpane makers are equal ly astute, and the timid sleeper may be driven to provide himself with the wool en sleeping bags that suggest travels in the furthest north. The only advantage of these filed or heavily sized" sheets and blankets is that they are death to insects. But If they kill the sleeper as well as the pulex irritants to say nothing of the cimexlectularius- what boots it?

4 SHREWD ITALIAN.
Frank Rose Sells His Stock for $500
 and Skips Out.

Several months ago Frank Rose, an Italian, came to this city from New Orleans and embarked in the fruit business on Main street.
 He occasionally added to his stock by buying new groceries, confec- tions, etc., and every one thought him to be very honest and straight forward. After paying his bills regularly about town he soon got into the good graces of our mer- chants. His credit was good any where and he certainly took adyan- tage of it.
 A few days ago Johu Preola, an Italian from Little Rock, came to this city and having about thous- and dollars in cash, Rose treated him very hospitably. He finally succeeded in persuading Preola to buy his stock.
 Monday night he paid Rose $500 .or his stock and Rose told him be would come to his place of business the next morning and sign the bill of sale. Rose didn't show up Tues day morning, however. He skipped from the city Monday night. His  destination is still unknown.
 Roses creditors discovered the matter as it stood and immediately issued writs of repleyin. The papers were served and now Preola hasn't hardly any stock left.
 The creditors who succeeded in recovering most of their goods were the Southern Grocery Co, Russell Grocery Co.,, Marsh & Atkinson, J. c. Meyer & Co.,, of this city, and Maxie Meyer of Little Rock. Rose also leaves number of other per. sonal accounts unpaid.
 Preol,4 is an Italian and can hard ly speak English. He was greatly surprised and excited whi.e the of fcers were removing the replevied goods, as he could not be made to understand the matter.
