Belligerents and NeutraIs at Sea.


There are so many knots in the neu.
trality laws, which are rather a set OF
customs and ~precedents than a code of
specific enactments, that every warship
captain would need an international
jurist at his elbow If he would avoid
infringing upon the rights of neutrals
In every emergency. For instance, 1t
is a rule that a belligerent shall not
attack the enemy on neutral waters.
But sometimes it Is extremely difficult
to determine just what constitutes an
attack in the meaning of that ruling.
1t has been held that where two YES
sells are fighting at open sea and II
fees to neutral waters the other may
follow up and continue the ight-vir-
tually make attack-under the plea OF
pressing necessity. A vessel SO fleeing
from an opponent after showing fight
confesses to defeat, and the victor is
entitled to his prize. Some interesting
points were raised by the action of the
neutral yacht Deerhound during the
famous Kearsarge-Alabama fight. The
Alabama formally surrendered to the
Kearsarge and, being in a sinking con-
dition, was abandoned by her officers
and crew. The Confederate command
sr, Captain Raphael Semmes, twelve
Of his officers and some sailors were
picked up by the D~eerhound, sailing I'M
der the English flag. Captain Semmes
said to the owner of the yacht, 81
an now under English colors, and the
sooner you put me, with my officers
and men. upon English soil the better"
The Deerhound at once steamed away
for Southampton. The underof1cers
of the Kearsarge appealed to their
commander, Captain Winslow, to be
allowed to fire a shot at the Deer
hound to bring her to, but he declined
because he believed that the yacht was
simply taking sea room Ito come
around and deliver up the Confeder-
ates.
The rule is that a neutral ship has
no right to rescue the drowning sail
ors Of a belligerent, but it happened
in this case that Captain Winslow
asked the Deerhound to save the Ala
bama people from drowning. Having
taken them on board by Federal au-
thority, it would have been a breach
Of neutrality toward the Confederate
government for the yacht to surrender
them. Had the Kearsarge attempted
recapture this act would have consti-
tused a double breach of neutrality
first, in attacking an enemy on leu
trail territory; second, firing upon a
neutral flag. Captain Winslow's in
stincts were %chivalric, but his technical
judgment was in error and robbed him
of the best fruits of his victory. The
United States demanded the surrender
of the Confederates, but England firm
ly refused for the reasons above stated.

Electricity has been successfully APP
piled to farm work in France, and
horses are being replaced by motors
for thrashing, grinding, stump pulling
and pumping water. Large landown-
ers have their own motors, and the
smaller one club together and buy a
motor, which travels from farm to
farm, like the thrashing machine in
this country or even the mower and
reaper in its early days.

CROWD WAS BENT UPON
LYNGHING A NEGRO
Price, the Intended Victim
Was Fined in City Court
and Then Committed

Frank Price. a colored youth. is for
tunate that he did not commit murder
and in turn iynched at the hands Of
an angry mob last night. He drew a
revolver at Eleventh and King streets
and fired several shots at Fred john
son. another colored youth. who was
standing near a crowd Of men and
boys coasting on Eleventh street hill.
Prices aim was bad and fortunately
none Of the bullets took effect He fed,
however, and the crowd with cries Of
lynch him, set in pursuit.
The pursuers were rapidly gaining
on the fleeing negro when Detective
William Joyce OF the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad Company and r. J.. Perkins Of
No. 1920 King street seized him. Upon
the promise Of these two men that
Price would be arrested and get his
just deserts the crowd dispersed.
When searched at The police station
the negro had beside the revolver a
long bladed knife in his possession. In
city Court this morning he was fined
SO and costs for shooting a revolver
off in the street and held I'm 800 bail
for court for carrying = concealed

MARKETS
PLENTIFULLY STOCKED
Turkeys at Reasonable Prices
and in Good Condition.
Fruits in Abundance

With Christmas with but three days
away the local markets have assumed a
holiday appearance and there is an
abundance OF good things which will
cater to the taste Of the most fastidious.
Turkeys and chickens are plentiful. es-
pecially the latter and they command
fair prices. Turkeys dressed and in
prime condition are bringing from 20
cents to % cents per pound and dealers
are cleaning Up the market. During
the Thanksgiving period this class Of
fowl was particularly thin and prices
were high. In. fact many OF them We're
UNIT for market.
In speaking on this subject today
Thomas n. stayton, the well-known
commission merchant, said: Turkeys
viii not fatten in warm weather. They
run too much. Why they will chase a
grasshopper over three fields and come
back out Of breath. In winter time.
however, the birds will stay close to the
barnyard and then they have a chance
to get some flesh on them"
Chickens alive and dressed are much
in evidence. With the feathers on they
bring from 10 1-2 to IL cents per pound.
Dressed they sell from IL to 13 cents.
Geese, ducks and guineas are here and
command fair prices. Fruits and nuts
are in abundance and many are being
purchased.
Celia, the well-known fruit dealer at
Fourth and King streets. has reopened
his stand and is carrying as fine a line
of goods as can be purchased in any
market. He quotes the following prices:
Oranges, naval. 30. 80, 40 cents per
dozen; Florida, Is TO 40 cents; Tanger-
Inc, 25 cents; grapes, - 1-2 to Is cents
per pound bananas, 10 and u cents
per dozen; cranberries, cents Der
quart; apples 45 to 60 cents per basket
TO 10 cents quarter peck; dates 5 to 5
cents per pound; figs, u cents per
pound; cocoanuts, and 6 cents apiece;
nuts, all kinds, Is cents per pound:
sweet potatoes, 65 cents bushel, 10 cents
quarter peck; white potatoes rs cents
bushel; lettuce, to cents. per head
All vegetables at special prices. Hot
house tomatoes and fresh mushrooms
at market prices.
Christmas trees this year are not as
numerous as heretofore, due, IL is said
to the fact that last year the market
was glutted and as a consequence less
were cut this season. Prices range
from 81 to 81 and many are fine specl-
mems. Nearly all the trees are cut
from the pine forests of the New Eng
land States.

SHELLPOT DISTRICT
OFFICERS RE-ARRESTEO
Held in $500 Bail Each for
Trial Before General Ses-
sions' Court Judges

on warrants prepared by Attorney
General Ward and sworn to before
Magistrate Hollis, James Watson, AL
bert L. Matlack and John NJ. Donahoe
were re-arrested yesterday afternoon
on a charge of reading falsely the
votes cast at the Republican primary
election in Shellpot district of Brandy
wine hundred on September "a last.
The accused men were election off,
GERS in the district. They appeared
before Magistrate Hollis yesterday and
through their counsel. David ]. Rein
hardt, waived n hearing and We're held
I'm $500 bail each for trial before the
judges sitting in the Court OF General
Sessions.
The charge is similar to that on
which the same men were arrested a
few days after the primary election.
At that time they were held to await
the action Of the grand jury, but it
developed that the grand jury had no
jurisdiction in the matter as the con-
stitution OF the States provides that
such offenses shall be tried before the
judges. AS the binding in bail was
defective it was necessary TO re-arrest
the accused men.

SETTLEMENT IN
GREENWOOD CASE
George l. Williams, HURT by
Explosion, Withdraws Suit
Against Railroad
SPECIAL JURY HAD BEEN DRAWv

Announcement was made to the
judges sitting in Superior Court this
morning that settlement had been
made in the case Of George 1. Williams
VS.. the p. 3. & w. r. r. CO. A spec
ial jury was drawn for this case yes
terday but the settlement was agreed
upon before it was called for trial.
Hugh M. Morris is counsel for VIII
liams and Ward and Gray represent
the railroad.
The action settled was a damage
case growing out Of the explosion on
the Delaware Railroad at Greenwood
about a year ago, when a score Of
persons living in that place were in
jured. Williams suffered injuries to
his eyes as a result Of the explosion.
George n. Davis withdrew the petit
ton for divorce of Walter A. Reed VS..
Alice B. Reed. He stated that there
had been reconciliation.
Argument on demurrer in the case Of
Ida Lynch VS. the p, r. & W. r. r.
Co, was heard. Hugh NJ. Morris ar
gued for the plaintiff and Ward and
Gray represented the company. Miss
Lynch was a school teacher at Green
wood at the time the school house there
was destroyed by the explosion on the
Delaware Railroad and she sued to
recover salary lost.
After hearing the argument the court
ruled that the cause for recovery was
too remote. BY this decision three
other cases Of Greenwood school teach
ers also fall. They are the cases of
Harvey P. Kelleher Catharine House,
man and Ida Dean.
The court then took a recess until
2.30 o'clock.
