New Castle. May 14-George Shan
non, of Cramer Hill, n. j., was in this
city yesterday in search Of a dory
which was stolen from early last Sat
urday morning.
Mr.. shannon came to this place in
hope that he could find some trace OF
his boat. but did not succeed in get
ting any clue to his stolen property.
The boat is described as being
twenty-five feet IN length, equipped
with a 6-horse power Globe engine and
three sets Of oars, three brass swivels
and brass caps. The owners name is
on a copper plate on the stern. 1t has
a closed-in cabin and when not used
for fishing was designed for the ac-
oommodation Of pleasure parties. A
new net of $50 rathoms and two new
galvanized anchors disappeared with
the boat.
The boats and its fittings cost Shan
non $1140 and was used by him but
once when it was stolen. Search was
made along the Jersey shore and de-
tectives were employed to trace the
boat and arrest the thieves, but they
have so far been unsuccessful.
Shannon is a shad fisherman, and
the loss represents his sole stock in
trade the means by which he made a
living.
A reward Of $50 is offered by Shannon
for the recovery of the boat and the
arrest OF the thieves

New Express Office Opened.
The United States Express Company
has opened an office at the foot of Del.
aware street and appointed Lewis II
Duncan agent. Shipments will be re.
ceived and forwarded by the Ericsson
Line Of Baltimore and Philadelphia
boats, which pass daily.
To Put in sluics.
The trolley company contemplate,
putting a sluice in the fill at Clark,
marsh to allow for the passage o
water under the track. This, it i,
thought, will obWate the necessity oI
sheathing the south side of the banl
to protect it against the action of tn,
water and will also do away with th'
necessity Of the several culverti
through which the water passes.
