NO SYMPATHY
FOR INFORMERS
City Judge DiSmisses Case
OF Alleged Sabbath Breaking
And Holds up Another
SALOON KEEPER
INVOLVED IN LATTER

Judge Cochran gave evidence in two
cases before him this morning that he
would not tolerate spite cases brought into
his court.
One case was that Of alleged Sabbath
breaking charged against David Scher.
The complainant was Michael Powell, who
declared that he had purchased four cigars
and box Of dried beef from Scher yes
torday. Judge Cochran seemed acquainted
with the case and expressed his opinion
that the charge was the result OF spite
work. An effort to learn Powelrs motive
for causing the arrest was unsuccessful,
however
We'll I'm not going TO stop selling
cigars on Sunday. l want some myself
sometimes" Judge Cochran commented
The court dismissed Scher after direct.
ing him TO quit selling other articles or
Sunday unless they were absolutely need.
cd Indicating Powell, Judge Cochran ad-
ded: Don't let hounds like that trip yot
up"
The other case was that Of Maryai
Pinecki. who was charged with seninl
liquor on Sunday. Tho comp iainant wa
Frank slmanki, who, Il appears. was dis
charged from the employ Of PinecSi o
Saturday and brought tho charge as
result OF his anger Simanli testified tha
he bought three glasses OF beer at Pons
clSfs saloon yesterday morning and n boi
tie OF whisky I'm the evening. Po.nech dc
clared that as he was not at his saloo
yesterday he did not sell the liquor
During the hearing a Pole with an un
pronounciable name persisted in saving:

in spite Of the fact that he had previous
understood all that was said to him b.
patrolmen.
Judge Cochran ordered him locked u
for q hours so that he could recover hi
understanding Of English.
In order that this mans testimony Nigh
be heard. Judge Cochran continued IN

he would not give simanki much consider

If preparations amount TO anything
and indicate anything. the affair that
tho Red Men are going 10 have at
Shellpot Park this week promises TO
eclipse anything that this aggressive

day the visitors 10 this little family
resort were surprised TO see what ap~
peared TO be an encampment OF
soldiers, but which in reality is a long
line of tents that the Red Men have
up and which are TO be decorated for
a competitive contest. The tribe or
council having the best decorated tent
is to receive prize Of tomahawk.
The Red Men have purchased a site
near Newark, which they are equip
ping as a home for the aged members
and their wives. and the funds for the

raised by such affairs as tho one they

one of whom was padding. He lost

and Captain Cunning lost no time in
getting ready his launch. Mr.. Hilles
Rodney Thayer, of New Castle, Arthur
II. Garrett, Harlan c. Scott. and Hen
derson Wier, of this city jumped into
the launch and went to the scene OF
the accident. No traces of the young
man could be found. Former City So
licitor sylvester d. Townsend reached
the scene soon after the Hilles' launch.
The young man who fell overheard was
John Thalheimer, Of Baltimore
The accident occurred about a half
mile from the Rochester Steamboat
company's pier. Thalheimer and ste
phen ]. Purzer, Of Baltimore had gone
TO Betterton for the day, and about
O'Clock in the afternoon donned bath
ing suits and, in a rowboat. started
padding around the river. Purzer was
seated in the bow and Thalheimer was
standing up in the stern Of the boat
sculling. In some way the oar slipped
rTnr. ~ ~
into the river just as he was pulling on
# without realizing his inability to
swim Thalheimer leaned far out Of
the boat and made grab for the float,
ing oar. Losing his balance the young
man hurtled from the boat into the
air and dropped into the water head
first. more than six feet away from the
boat.

Purzer was taken off the rowboa
by Mr.. Hilles' party. and immediatel
efforts were begun to recover the bod
Of Thalheimor. Having no grapplinl
