Cholera and Poison.

Dover, Del, Nov. S,-Mr. and
Mrs. George Lilley, who reside
on a farm near Dover, recently lost
fine flock of turkeys, numbering
about 100, in peculiar manner
When the turkeys returned from a
days tramp they seemed to be sick,
and during the night most Of them
died.
Shortly after that strange man
was seen beside a ditch near the
house, and upon investiga ion Mr..
LilIcy discovered a quantity Of
corn, soaked i'll salt, and apparently
mixed with poison. BY this dis
covery Mr.. Lilley thinks he saved
the lives of large flock of geese,
ducks and chickens. A box of the
doctored corn has been sent away
for analysis. ,t
D. Mifi1in Wilson, who lives
near town, has lost eighteen hogs
this fall, from what he supposed to
have tcen cholera. As the
aggregate weight ofthe hogs would
have been 5000 pounds, this is
quite loss to Mr.. Wilson.

DISASTERS
REPORTED.
All Hopes of the Safety
of theBOrda Are
Gone.
Bowers, Del. Nov. Z

Bowers. Del, Nov. 3, 1899,
| The whole damage done by the
tail end of the cyclone off Cape
Hatteras, which, while moving
northward, struck this seaside
town on Tuesday morning at 5
o'clock and ragged with great fury
until 10 a. m, has just been learned
1t caused the tide to rise several
feet above the highest water mark
in recent years. The marshes were
covered with water and hundreds
of barrels and boxes and driftwood
particles were strewn on the shore.
In the height of the storm. the
dwelling-house of Charles Pretty
man, which stood just outside of the
town, was blown down and Destroy
ed Mr. Prettyman was not at
home, and cat was the only occu-
pant of the house. The large
schooner Rambc, of Philadelphia,
owned and sailed by Captain r.
Rogers, laden with 5000 bushels of
lime bound tor Frederica, which
was anchored at the mouth of the
inlet of Murderkill river. parted
her cables and came ashore, with
rigging somewhat damaged. Every
effort will be made to get her afioat
at high tide to-day. A number OF
large scows belonging to the dredge
at work there parted anchor lines
and were driven ashore high and
dry and cannot be reached.
A pathetic story is recalled IN
the case of one Philadelphia owned
craft, the three-masted schooner
Matilda d. Borda. Somewhere in
the storm tossed deep she is drltting
helplessly before the gale. 1t may
be even worse than this and the
gallant old coaster which has come
unscathed through so many like
perils, may never be heard from
again.
The Matilda D. Borda, under
command OF Captain Smith, sailed
from Savannah, lumber laden, on
October "A, for Philadelphia. When
the wind arose and the ocean was
dashed into fury, her owners and
agents were wrought up to an in
tense pitch of excitement regarding |
her safety. Several days passed
with no news, until Unexpectedly it |
was learned that the schooner had
been spoken.
1t was October 81, in the midst
OF a wild sea, that the Borda loom
ed up like aspectre a across the DO VS.
of a British steamer bound for
Charleston. Through the fog and
spray but brief view could be OBJ
tained OF her, but it was sufficient
to tell the tale.
The storm tossed Borda was in a
dreadful plight. Her sails had all
been blown away, she was partial
ly dsmasted and listing heavily 10
starboard. Mighty seas swept her
from stem to stern, while from the
stumps of her masts. distress sig.
nails flew calling for assistance.
There could be no help given, how
ever, in that storm. Like phan-
tom the Borda flashed into view and
