Dick Oxford, one of the leaders and a ' wheel horseman" in gambling cir cles, id now in tbe hands of tbe Phila delphia authorities and will no doubt meet his just reward at tbe hands of those who have been in waiting for him so long. It will be remembered that Dick and his '"gang" of fifteen or twenty others, with their complete and costly outfit of gaming devices, thought to run their nefarious practices in our city during the Fish, Oyster and Game Exposition, but Mayor Williams did not wish to see our citizens made victims by sharpers, or the laws of the country violated. Near tha hour of midnight in the midst of their revelry they were pounced upon and taken into custody and dealt with as the law prescribes. A Philadelphia detective learned of Dick's capture, and through the proper process came on after him. On his return to Philadelphia, detec tive Tate, who was in charge ot Oxford, wrote Mayor Williams as follows, in closing at the same time a clipping from the Philadelphia Ledger about said Ox ford, which we also produce: dh'artment cf public 8afety. Buueau of Police, Philadelphia, March 14tb, 1890. 'I. P. W ILLIAU6, Mayor of New Berne. N. C. Dear Sir I arrived safe. There was nothing transpired on the route, only at Petersburg two men got on the train there and shook hands with Oxford and asked him where the Mayor was. He asked them why they wanted to see him. They said they had got a dispatch that he was on the train, and they wanted to present him with a bouquet as he was a dandy. Give my respects to Messrs. Clark, senr. and jr.: and I am very thankful for the way I was treated while in your city. Hoping to have the pleasure of visit ing you at some future time, or meet ing you here. Respectfully, James Tate, Detective. City Hall, Phila. tl'rom the Philadelphia Ledger.) Detective Tate arrived in the city early yesterday morning from New Gerne, North Carolina, having in cus tody Richard Oxford, alias "Dick Ox ford," 53 years old, well dressed and wearing short side whiskers. Oxford has been known to the polioe and de tectives for years as a skillful manipu lator of gambling devices at oounty fairs, and other gatherings where rus tics congregated. His arrest and re turn were in consequence of a complaint made by Ueneral Agent W. J. Latta, of the Pennsylvania railroad, two weeks ago, to Director Stokley. He said "he had been informed that three card monte sharpers and other gamblers had been fleecing passengers on the New York division, the Philadelphia, Wil mington and Baltimore Division, and on ths main line of the Pennsylvania railroad, between Philadelphia and Pittsburg, Washington, New York, Cin cinnati and Chicago. The gang bought long-distance tickets, and generally operated in parties of three. Frank Scott, of Jersey City, had eomplained that be was victimized out of $50 on a train between Jersey City and Phila delphia." General Agent Latta asked Director Stokley to detail Detectives Miller and Tate to investigate the case, and they were detailed. They obtained information tnat "Uick Oxford" was a leader of the gang, and, a week ago, arrested Albert Miley, at Eighth and Vine streets, as a confederate of Ox ford, and he was bound over for a hear ing next Monday. The annual Fish and Oyster Exhi bition was held last week in New Berne, North Carolina. "Crooks" from all parts of the country flocked there, an tioipating a harvest. Among others was "Dick Oxford," with a complete "lav out" of his famous trick games, "the shells," the "dice box," the "ring toss," and several new devioea for "catching the suckers," as these people term their victims. The New Berne authorities discovered that the outside gamblers had set up their "layouts" in saloons, and made a raid on them last Monday, capturing 13 men, inoluding Oxford and Henry Raymond, alias "the Moure," another "good one with the shells, " and confis cated the whole outfit of gambling tools, inoluding wheels of fortune, three card boards, tenpins, eto. Detec tive Tate, who had telegraphed to the New Berne Chief of Police to detain Oxford, (went after him on Monday and started homeward on Wednesday, ar riving at 4 o'clook yesterday morning. Oxford was taken before Magistrate Pole, at the City Hall. Deteotive Mil ler briefly outlined the story of the charges against; Oxford, who was com mitted under l ,000 bail for a further examination on Monday. The prisoner admitted that he was known nnder ihe name of "Harris." On the way baok Oxford .admitted to Tate that he bad been "working" the passengers on the Lake Shore road and the Grand Trunk road, In Canada, lately. Before high license times Iheeharpers who worked "tbe shells." "loaded dice," the "skin dice box," and other little tricks at ths oirouses and oounty fairs, bad made tbelr stopping place at a tavern at Eighth and Wood streets Among them were "Piok Oxford," Charley Toohey, "Charley1. Brothers, and others who became known to the nolioe. "Dick .Oxford." or "English ; Diok," . was known la former years to the detective foroa as one ol the light fingered; ? Then they say, he took op -taa glove triok." Uis properties con A..! ;; listed of a lady's kid glove with a cheap ricg in one of the fingers. "Dick ' would approach a woman on the street and politely inform her that she had dropped her glove. Frequently the woman accosted, on discovering the ring, would clsim the glove and ring, and give tbe findtr a $5 bill, supposing she had got a diamond. "Dick" for sook this game after a time aod began to frequent ths fairs wiih ' pinch boards," and other traps. EyarrgelUt Fife -lie Owes $3,000 aud Intends to Pay Every Dime. "Bill" Fife, now known as the Drummer Evangelist, who closed a successful meeting last week ia Con oord. is reported by the Times as mak ing the following statement in regard to bis indebtedness. It says: 'Mr. Fife made a statement which we feel called upon to give to the publio of the State, and we hope every news paper in Noah Carolina will copy it. A day or so before Mr. Fife's arrival here a druggist in ihe Eastern part of the State sent to a friend here an account to be presented to him of $11 93 for medicine pur chased of him for a sick child. Mr. Fife said he did not deny owing the debt, nor did he deny owing any number of debts, amounting to about 83,000. He bad been a wicked man, a gambler, a drunkard, aud knew what it was to 6ell the clothes off bis back for rum. It waB but natural that a man leadicg such a life should get deeply in debt. Since his conversion many of his creditors offered to compromise, but he had refused such a settlement and de clared he would pay every debt he owed and pay one hundred cents on the dol lar. He had paid all his indebtedness at Fajetteville, his home, which he thought hit first duty. He was, he said, working for God and not for money, and consequently had been unable to pay the greater number of his debts. But be declarod that every oent he received should thus be applied until every one was paid. His defence of himself was complete and there were few dry eyes in the audience when he closed. He won the sympathy of everv one. Tbe debt was paid by him in full on Saturday, and immediately some citizens, headed by tbe gentleman who presented the account, replaced the money. " Track Laying on the W. O A. F. C. Railroad. Tbe grading of the Wilmington. Ons low and East Carolina Railroad has been completed from Wilmington to Jacksonville, Onslow county, and Mi. George N. Brock man. tbe engineer in charge of the grading operations has come to Wilmington to take charge of the track engineering. The distanoe between Wilmington and Jacksonville as graded is exactly fifty miles, and with the exception of surfacing up in places, the roadway is ready for the track. Something over a mile of track has already been laid at this end of the line, and on Monday next traok-laying will be oarried forward bv the aid of construction train for the first time. Mr. A. P. Yoop, the engineer who was sent to Wilmington, Delaware, to bring a locomotive out for the road, has re turned with it and it is to be used in pulling the construction train. It was side-tracked yesterday at the Princess street station of the Wilmington Sea- coast Railroad and will be fired up this morning and run down to tho W. O. & E. C. track at its junction with the Seacoast road. Wilmington Messonger. Resignation of Prince Bismarck Ac cepted. Berlin, March 18, 5 p. si It is just announced that Prince Bismarck's resignation of the Chancellorship was accepted by tbe Emperor at noon today. The attitude of tbe Emperor opposing Prince Bismarck in this matter is taken as an indication of his desire to concili ate the Clerical party. ' If the govern ment is to secure a working majoriiy in the new Reichstag, it cannot well get on without the party of the Centre whioh Dr. Windthoret controls. Berlin, March 18 The National Ga zette eays: "The gratitude toward tho restorer of Germany that is filling the hearts of Germans at this critical time proves that Prince Bismarck will long be re membered as the personification of Ger many's growth and prosperity.

News reached here Sunday morning, on the early western train, of an accij dent at Paint Rock, in which Mrs Chambers was killed by her little son. Tha fatal occurrence took place Satur day night before the train left Paint Rock, from which place it is due to leave between 10 and 11 o'clock p. m. During the day Mr. Chambers went to Sandy Bottom, where he was formerly depot agent, returning again later with a little nephew. On entering bit house he put down his valise, having in it a loaded pistol. His son, a boy of four teen summers, ran to the valise, opened it, took out the pistol, and ran to his mother, who was preparing supper in the kitohen, saying, "mamma, see what papa has brought me." At the same time he pointed the weapon at his mother, when it shot off, the ball striking his mother near the breast, and comirg out near tbe shoulder. The little nephew or kicgoiau of Chambers was the only witness tbe tragedy. Mrs. Chambers died iu a few moments after beiug shot. Cor. Char l)Ue Chroniole' Progressive Euchre as gambling.
