llorts About Ulee-Kew Departure
, A rice planter on the Cape Fear is try
ing an experiment in rice culture this
season which has never been tried before
in this section and so far as we can ascer
tain has been an unheard-of venture by
rice planters in the country. He iAJ cul
tivating about 12 acres of lowland or
rice fields by plows, instead of in the old
way, by hoes. His crop on the experi
mental field is far enough advanced now
to satisfy him that his venture will ter
minate successfully and he is looking for
an increased yield of the cereal for the
plowed field. The cost of cultivation by
plows is fully one-third less than by hoes.
Sid Death.
: Vr. H.irry Simmons, ofEaston, Ptnn..
ooe of the young gentlemen who came
here with Dr. Cloud to Assist in laying
the waterworks pipe, died this morning
at the residence of 'Mrs. Macumber, cor
ner of .Seventh and Chestnat streets, af
ter an illness of eight weeks. The dis
ease wbjch caused the young man's death
was ' pronOunctd k typhoid malaria fever
He was 23 years of age and was a meoal
ber of the Order of Rechabites in this
city. He came among ns few months
ao perfect stranger, but by his" Taodef t
behavior 'and -gentlemanly . bearing .-he 1
made many warm and true friends. He
was exceedingly popular with his asso
ciates and commanded the respect of all
wbo knew him. He died in a strange
land but surrounded by friends who deep,
Ij grieve his early death. His Jather,
who was summoned to his sick bed a week
ago, was with him in lib last hours. His
remains were escorted to Bellevue Cem
etry this afternoon followed by a large
number ot friends and the Hechabites of
this city. Bis remains will be removed
to the family bnrial groundjat Easton,
Pennsylvania, in the fall. Peace to his
ashes.

Criminal Court.
The attention of the Court was occu
pied the whole of the morning with the
case of the State against Samnel An
crum, charged with the larceny of chick
ens. Verdict of the jury Guilty. The
same defendant was tried and convicted
on a similar charge yesterday, but as
there was only one witness against him,
the Solicitor preferred not to pray judg
ment, and had same defendant tried on
another charge of similar character to
the one defendant was already convicted
on.." In thi, lo&fc nmrf -4ajQ there were
seven witnesses, and alimrreed Brto the
facts of the case, which proved t,u pris
oner at the bar to be guilty. The evi
dence furthermore developed the fact
that Ancrum was a regular professional
chicken thief, who after stealing the
chickens,, hawked them about on the
street in certain localities for sale. Sen
tence ot the Court 4 years in State
Penitentiary.
State vs. Beverly Scott, charged with
removing fence. On trial,
His Honor, Judge Meares, sent for
the Grand Jury this morning and gave
them the following instructions about
the carts that block up the corners of
Front, Market and Second streets, at
certain hours of the day during the week:
1st. -That when a market cart or other
vehicle is stationed upon a public street
to await customers or to myite custom
it is an obstruction of the public high
way; , and that when an empty cart or
other vehicle is kept standing upon a
Dublic street after the contents thereof
have been sold or delivered it is an ob
structibn'of the public highway; and that
when a licensed huckster occupies a por
tion of the sidewalk for the purpose of
vending his vegetables or other articles
it is an obstruction of the public high
way; and in each and all of these in-J
stances the parties onending are indict
able for a nuisance. The public high
way, however, may be temporarily ob
structed for certain purposes. The raer
chant may place his boxes of goods upon
the sidewalks for such length of time on
ly as may be necessary to transfer hia
goods from the vehicle to his store and
the law regulates his conduefctgrthe rule
of reasonable time. So also the market
cart or other vehicle is left free to .travel
the public streets and to stop at private
residences and elsewhere for the tem
porary purposes of sale and delivery and
like the merchant is regulated by the rule
of reasonable time.
2nd. That it was not intended by
the Legislature, in passing the 4Supple
mentalAct,';(see chap. 216,Laws of 1S81)
to encourage or to authorize nuisances
to be committed upon the streets ot Wil
mington. On the contrary, it was the
declared intention of the act merely to
allow certain vendors therein named to
offer their goods for sale at all hours
of the day and upon any of the streets
or alleys of the city, and to prevent
them from being forced to ell from the
stalls of the Wilmington Market Com
pany. 3d. l,t is the duty of the city authori
ties to pass all such ordinances, and en
farce the same, as mav be necessary to
abate a nuisance of this kind and they

Thi3 afternoon about 2 o'clock a white
woman known as Joe Turner, who is a
person of unenviable reputation, present.
ed herself at the office of Justice Millis,
on Princess street, at 1 the same time
presenting a most pitiable appearance in
her pison. Her long iron-gray hair
hung loosely down over her shoulders,
matted with, blood, while her face was
bruised and bleeding, and : her clothes
down to her waist'were stained and sa,tu
ratedithjblood, all of which the woman
declaredwas the work of J. P. Willett,
her alleged husband. The two, man and
wife,r the man and woman, keep what
is called a sailor boarding hnnso. hut
which hardlv deserves as resncctahla
name as that, on Nutt street.
The occasion of this fiendish conduct on
the part of Willett in beating the wo
man, we were unable to ascertain. But
this much we did find out, that Justice
Millis issued a warrant for the arrest of
Willett and placed it in the bands of
Officer Bryan, colored, for execution
and that in attempting to execute the
the warrant and make the - arrest the
Officer was resisted and the law openly
defied by Willett who barricaded his
house and retreated to the second floor of
his domicile, where he armed himself
with axe and bludgeon, bowie knife, pis
tol and shot gun, and swore death and
eternal vengeance to any one who would
dare attempt to invade his premises.
The officer, who had summoned a posse
to assist him in making the arrest, being
unarmed deemed it prudent at this stage
of the proceedings to returtf to the Mag
istrate's office for further instructions
and to inquire into the law upon this sub
ject. "All this occurred about, or short
ly before, 3 o'clock, and at 15 minutes
past 4 o'clock, the time - of ..thi-'"mU;"cr'
there had been : nv A-rther . attempt to
P. S.Since the above was written
we learn that the officer returned with
his posse, entered the house and made a
thorough search but could not find Wil
let he had absconded and gone no one
knows whither.
