THE NEWS OF NEW CASTLE.


stafr Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal.
New Castle, May % This city can
boast of the youngest fishermen on the
Delaware River. They are Aloysius
Morrison and Joseph Riggin, aged 6
and s years, respectively.
Yesterday morning they secured the
fishing boat Of William Raiuey, in
which was a shad net, and went fish
ing, In some manner they managed to
lay off portion of the net before they
were caught off Cherry Island Flats.
MIR. Rainey. on missing his boat, at
once went in search of 1t. he fell in
with Capt. Rogers, who was out in his
naptha launch, u. s. ", and soon came
up with the fisher lads. They we're in
mid channel and one of them was hold.
ing mp an oar 10 signal tramp out
ward bound steamship that was bearing
down upon them. The man at the
steamships helm had apparently seen
the signal and had put the big vessel off
about two points, but could not go
much further out Of the way. The
chances were that the boys would have
boon run over had not the rescuers ar
lived when they did. The boys were
transferred to the launch and tie net
taken up with nine shad in 1t.
Inc return toAthis city was promptly
made and the lads turned over to their
parents. IL is not thought that they
will try this trick again for some time.
Warren Wright had an exciting ey-
perience yesterday morning in trying TO
boat sturgeon near the Firms Point
jetty. Whom the. sturgeon struck tho
net he hooked the big fish, but when
he tried to boat it a struggle took place
and he was thrown from the boat into
tho water and became tangled with the
net. Tho fish was finally boated and
taken to Delaware City and sold.
Joseph Grimes, aged GA years. who
recently arrived from Virginia to make
his home with his brother, George
Grimes, for the balance of his days,
was taken suddenly jill yesterday morn
ing and for time his life was de-
SPARED Of. At late hour last evening
he was improving, and it was though
that he would recover.
