ATTEMPT TO MURDER

While sleeping in the colored apart
ments at the residence of Andrew ).
Eliason, residing near Mt. Pleasant, on
Saturday night, Ely Jones was attacked
by negro named Oscar Daniels, who
gained an entrance by means OF break
ing and entering through back window
over a shed roof, in the rear of Mr.. Ella
sons residence. He attacked Jones
with knife, badly cutting him. Jones
succeeded in getting out Of bed, streaming
with blood, and threw the midnight
marauder down stairs, and started to Sc
cure medical aid, when Daniels attacked
him on the road with a razor, cutting his
throat and lacerating his breast Jones
called for assistance and Daniels escaped.
Jones was found lying under the hedge
and was brought to Middletown and
medical assistance summoned. Magis-
trate Reynolds was Immediately notified
and ordered Jones removed to the Hos
pital, and officers were sent in quest of
the murderer, but SO far he (Daniels) has
not been apprehended. Jones' condition
is still precarious, while Daniels is at
large, although he is believed to be in
the neighborhood of Baltimore, having
been chased over the Maryland line by
Constable Collins. Deputy Attorney
Cooper has taken charge Of the case and
has ordered the State detectives to take
charge of the same.

Twenty-nine people who are tired OF
married life will ask the Superior Court
when it meets in Wilmington, November
26, to dissolve their relations.
After'a short season of comedies, farces
and lighter drama, Middletown may con-
gratulate itself on the enterprise OF its
Opera House Manager, J. B. Maxwell, in
securing three nights of legitimate drama,
beginning Monday November 10, lG and
II. The company being The En-
pire Co., in support of Mr.. Joseph M.
Yost, who viii present The Bells, Dr..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde, and Hamlet, three
plays never seen here. To followers OF
the drama, these three plays require no
introduction; being the best plays that
any company could present. To those
who have seen Booth in Hamlet, and
Richard Mansfield in DR.. Jekyll and MIR.
Hyde, Mr.. Yost's portrayal OF both these
characters will be a striking revelation OF
what the younger generation understands
in matters of stage craft. While MIR.
Yost is acknowledged to be the youngest
Shakespearean star on the dramatic stage
to-day, his portrayal of the Melancholy
Dane' is strictly original, being devia-
ton from the conception handed down
from Booth, Irving and Clark. That
will appreciate the young
actors talent and ability goes without
saying, and we look for an audience lar
in excess of the anticipation of the En-
pire Co.
