ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

James Selbv. a colored lad, was
bitten OH the hand by his fathers
dog. The latter was bitten by the
supposed mad dog that made a tour
OF the city on Monday evening.
Some claim that the dog was not
mad while others assert that the
animal snapped at everything il
met on its way.
The schooner Ralph NJ. Hayward
with a cargo OF over 800 tons OF
eastern ice arrived at the Delawa are
street wharf last evening for J. H.
King.
Sylvester Tidwell and Miss Car.
rie Ha!lman were married last evea.
ing at St. Peters parochial resi-.
dence. Miss Rose Warren of Mid.
detown, was bridesmaid, and
James Taggart OF Wilmington, W an
best man. A reception VAS ten
dered the bride and groom. A
large number OF their friends were
present. The bride was the recip-
lent Of Numerous handsome pres
ents.
Among the prisoners brought
over yesterday was John Heck who
was committed in default of $500
oail ior his appearance at the court
of General Sessions. He is charged
with the larceny OF a quart bottle Of
milk. The LARGELY case should
have been dismissed and one Of dis
orderly conduct preferred. 1t costs
New Castle county too much to keep
such a prlsonc- in jail waiting for
court.
Supposng for instance that the
case ever goes to ury then the
costs would at least be $780, He
will now be over two months ia Jail
before trial and if convicted would
come over for sixmonths. See how
such petty cases cost New Castle
countv.

The attention of Attorney General
Ward should be called 10 the at
tempt to burn an unoccupied house
On North Second street. During

This is the experience OF The
schooner Ralph NJ. Hayward now
at the Dclarware street wharf She
arrived at LeWes Yesterday mass
of ice, her sails blown away and
with 4 crew ON the verge OF cois
lapse from an almost superhuman
effort to keep their vessel ailoat.
The schooner sailed from Port
land January Is, command of Cap
tain krum. On January 81 the
weather. which had been stormy
since anchor was weighed, reached
a gale. The HAYWARD was then
off Barnegat. with every prospect
OF soon making safe at the Della 4
ware Breakw ater. So suddenly
did the gale OF wind strike the ves-
sci that her main libwas torn loose
and sent flying out to sea. The 4
mainsal followed and mighty
wave swept the decks from stem to
stern.
The wind was dead from north,
according to Captain Krum, and as
it struck the schooner full astern
she was carried before its fury like
a chip. 1t was utterly impossible
to put her about. Nothing remain
ed but to scud With the gale.
On February 5, when the gallo
moderated, Captain Krum found
himself near Cape Hatteras, three
hundred miles south of the point he
had struggled to reach. Meantime
the Hayward had shipped several
seas. Her cabin was flooded until
it was no longer habitablc. The
waves had either swept overheard
Ur ruined most OF the provisions
and also the fresh water.
City Council held special meet
ing last night and passed resolu-
ton favoring the bill 10 proiong
Collector Whites collection time
another year.
