new CASTLE
June 9Otb. 1900!

John McDevitt received a severe
fallo on Thursday night that rem
dered him unconscious and severely
gashed his chin. About the time
the storm was coming up John was
couple ofsquares away from home
and he started on a lively run.
When within a few feet of his house
his toe struck an extended piece of
brick and he was thrown violently
to the pavement. Another young
man following in his wake went to
his assistance and was Mortified to
find that McDevitt wasunconscious
and that his face was bleeding
freely. Help was secured and he
was carried to his home where he
was revived after two hours hard
work. A deep cash was cut in his
chin and one tooth was broken and
several others loosened.
Work on the New Castle and Del
aware City road is being pushed
forward. The poles and wires are
up az far south as Red Lion Creek
and the rails are laid to Reybold.
Arrangements are now being
made to have number of excur-
sions from Wilmington to 60 to
Augustine Park by way Of Gordon
Heights. Owing to the charter
price of trolley cars now being dou-
BILE the rate on the New Castle road
the Gordon Heights road has been
selected. The ride IRON that place
would give the excursionists ride
OF Is miles each way.
- Sailing boat appears to be an
easy matter but experience has
taught William Krause, Edward
Sullivan and Walter Fraley that it
is well to know something about a
boat to be able to sail it. Yester-
day three boys, aged from Is to l9
years, secured boat in the Chris
tiana and prepared for a trip to
Finn 8 Point jetty. A heavy breeze
struck the boat when near the jetty
and the boom swinging to knocked
Sullivan overheard. He being able
to swim did not appear to mind the
bath and yelled at his comrades.
Fraley who barely knows how to
keep from drowning became excited
because Krause did not check the
speed Of the boat as he thought he
should. He jumped overheard and
he had some trouble lii keeping
atloat. Krause had the tlller. For
tunately for the party a sail boat
which was going up the river saw
the accident and FASTENED to the |
rescue of the two lads. They were
picked up when Krause ilbed his ,
boat over and lost hold of the sheet
rope which was attached to the
boat and the sail going over cap
sized the boat. The resculng party
had more trouble. Krause was
picked up and the boat righted and
taken to Wilmington in tow of the
rescuing boat. The rescuing party
was Edward and Walter Stiles,
Howard Martin and Archie Rey-
holds Of near Pernsgrove, who had
been out for days sport. They
say they had it.
New Castle people enjoyed the
pleasure accorded by Company H,
n. G. D., last evening at the fruit
and ice cream festival. The con-
cert by the band was also enjoyed.

Greenfield, and asked that 1t be cashed.
stating that he had received it from
Mr.. Martin yesterday evening too late
to get 1t cashed at Greenfield The
check was made out to William Bur-
gen. One of the hotel proprietors was
with him and identified him az Mr..
Burgen. @
Mr.. Martin is in the abstract and
loan business and had made a loan to-
this man for the above amount on a
quarter section of land in Lincoln
township, Adair county. When the pa
pers We're presented to County Recorder
Chambers for record, after the check
had been given and the deal closed for
the loan he (Chambers) became sus-
picious that something was wrong.
This fear he communicated to Mr.. Mar
tin, and by compa rison of signatures
on documents in his Office they discov-
cred that the signature to the deed had
been forged. as the man who owned the
farm lives in OHIO.
Acting upon this information, Mr..
Martin tele phoaed all the banks adja-3
lcent to Greenfield TO arrest and hold
Burgen if he presented the check. In
| the meantime Mr.. Martin wired John
| Jacobs. owner of the land in Ohio, and
received an answer back that it was a

District Promising Trouble There.
Hazleton, Pa. Sept. 22.-The Lehigh
region yesterday seemed to concern it,
self more about the possibility of trou-
bic than any other one thing. Wherever
one went in this district the belief was
general that an outbreak will occur.
There was, however. no outward evi-
tdence anywhere that such a thing is
likely. This feeling was no doubt pro-.
duced by a disturbance at Shenandoah
and the arrival in Hazelton and on the
North Side of large numbers OF depu-
ties, who are said to be prepared for
any emergency. IT was known that all
the coal companies in the district had
Increased the number Of watchmen
around their colleries and 1t was known
that small number of deputies had
been distributed thru the South Side by
Sheriff Rristin, OF Carbon county, but
nothing much was thought OF this.
The deputies who arrived at Freeland,
twelve miles north of here. during the
night from Wilkesbarre are said to
number about 200. They were distrib-
uted along the public road between
Freeland and Jeddo. AT noon q car
load OF them arrived in this city over
the Pennsylvania railroad and later in
the day several squads OF deputies came
into town. They are being lodged in
different parts of the city.
There were fewer cases OF violence
yesterday than on the day before,
when the mine workers IN various
parts Of this section were attacked on
| their way to and from work. The pres
ence OF the Increased number Of watch
linen and deputies may have accounted

sunday.
Washington, D. c.. Sept e2.-Thes
state department has decided to defer
until tomorrow morning the publication
of the answers it returned to the vari-
Gus powers relative to the Chinese stu
alton. This was. done from a desire to
carry out the traditional practice of the
department which allows forty-eight
hours to elapse after the delivery of a
note before making it public in our own
country.
There is no reason to change the esti-
mate OF the note made yesterday to the
effect that 1t amounts to declination
Of the German proposition and provides
sor the reduction of the United States
military contingent in China to a strong
legation guard, just sufficient TO insure
the safety of the legation In the event
of a recurrence of rioting in Pekin or a
safe withdrawal of our minister TO Tien

shall be employed in further offensive

tions at once and u desires the Chinese
government to punish the offenders.
This 10 the substance OF the reply OF
the United States to the propositions
OF Germany and Russia. A copy OF 1t
has been sent 10 all the nations inter-
estsd in the Chinese situation, together
with information that Gen. ChafIee has
been ordered to withdraw from China.
Just what effect this action will have
on the Chinese situation is not known
here, but 1t is hoped 1t will be the
means OF bringing about an amicable
solution.
AS is known, Russia has modified Its
proposition that q small body of the
Russian troops remain in Pekin for the
purpose Of guarding its legation. As It
Is already known, the European ma
tions have proposed different solutions
of the Chinese muddle, and there were
indications that in spite Of the disavow-.
al Of the nations to sieze Chinese terri
tory. there was ground for the belief
that matters were drifting towards the
dismemberment of the empire.
President Mckinley did not propose to
become involved in a European quarrel,
and some time ago notified the nations
that If they did not reach an agreement
satisfactory to all within a reasonable
time, it may be necessary for each ma.
ton to adopt it's own method of dealing
with China. That reasonable time has
expired and as no agreement has been
reached, the president decided that the
time for him to act had arrived. The
next step will be an appointment of an
American envoy to conduct peace nego-
tiations. Minister Conger has been di-
rected to consult with Prince Ching pre-
liminary to the final negotiations.
The American minister at PekiE will
not conduct these negotiations, but
| some one yet to he chosen will be Sc
llected for that delicate task. Whether
or not the American envoy will be
