Tboce who ara not yet even past tbs

these woods were the principal resort

these large gatherings, tbe ouly drew

A representative of the Republican
recently chanctd this way aud gathered
a lew notes In regard to the granite In
dustry, which, within a few years has
gained su.h wonderful headway. These
granite hills on both sides of the Brandy
wine have been leased for a term of years
to the "Bratdywlue Granite Company" by
W. M Field, who is President oi the
Company. This company has sublet a
part of the premises to others who
also engaged in quarrying. The first tv
fall in the course ol the Republican
representative was the quarry operated
by Richard Walker, who employs about
eight haudq, several of them beleg ltal -

road from Bsltlmo 0 through Wilmington
to Philadelphia. In crossing the B.andy
wine a bridge over 109 feet hIgh was re-1
quired. Mr Milo Lcclie was the super

bridge, aud tho pillars aud abutments

most substantial pieces of masonry in the
United States.

whole thing was done was someth log
.iKi this:
Mr. Fallmer, a well known and re
spected gentleman about 70 years or
age, war walking leisurely up Market
street from Fourth when a stranger
ted him wit* the qnery il he knew
where to puroasa some property. As
John O. Clark, a real estate agent hap
pjned to be last passing by, Mr. Fail

fjre leaving the bunoo man obtained

He was a nephew
of Elward Bette, President of the First
National Bank.
Fnllmer of oonrse knew Mr. Batte
end wae more than glad to see his
nephew, bnt the family reeemblanoj
was very alight. The blond young man
farther state! that hie wife was a
daughter of N. B. Smlthere, E q , of
Dover, but that she was now in Phila
delphia undergoing medioal treatment
and he was
on his way home from
a vielt to see hor. Mr. Fallmer was
very mach interested In this talk, as he
was well acquainted with both Mr.
Betts and Mr. Smhhers. Betts,
called himself, seeing the impression he
bad made, Informed hts intended vic
tim that he bad two volumes of the his
tory of Delaware, one of which he had
lnteuded to present to his ancle, El
ward Betts, bat he having Already sot
one by subscription, he s.tll had kt left
to present to come other person and be
would be only too happy if hts friend
Fullmer would accept It with bis
pllncents, and politely asked him if he
xroald not step do
Fifth street and reoalve the volume.
Thither the pair walked, and entering
parlor a man was found seated
at a table whom "Betts" introduced to
Fnllmer ss ' Mr. Smith.'' Betts in
quired for the histories, bat Smith said
the binding being a Utile defective he
had sent them off to be rebound, bat
they would be retained on Friday and
he would be ploaied to send them to the
gentlemen if they would leave their ad
dress.
Bitts then Inquired,"How Is the bock
sokerue coming op?"
"Ob, first-rate," replied Smith; * I
will just pay yon year percentage,''
handing him a roll of notce.
Mr. Fallmer not understanding this,
Betts explained that this was a system
of drawing by which every one baying
a book got back a percentage. The
drawing, he said, would take plaoe
Thursday. Batts said he oould not be
present next Thursday, when Smith, to
aooommodate him, offered to oommenoe
the drawtag at onoe. Smith then took
several cards in his hand and Bstts
drew a "six."
This Smith said was known as No 29
and drew 82,500. Batts wsi overcome.
Smith prodaoed what looked like 82,600
in bank notes. Fallmer drew a five.
This wae equal to twenty-aix and aleo
drew 82.60J Fallmer was delighted,
and war about to pookot a package of
82,500 In alleged bank notes whon
Suiltb objected. He mast make things
right with the main efltaa and oould not
pay the prix*« until Betts and Fallmer
exhibited 82,600 bet wee u them. Betts

said that be had better wait until El
ward Betts came lo, and if he oould
secare a proper endorser he would
donbt get the money. Fallmer passed
outside, and meeting President Betts he
was advised to get an endorser. Mr.
Fallmer, in sear oh of an endorser, called
Thomas Davidson and asked him to
endorse his note. Mr. Davidson said
that he never er domed notes, when Mr.
Fnllmer turned and went away. Mr.
Davidson had never spoken to Fnllmer
before, and tbongbt it strange that he
should call upon him and ask him to
endorse for euch a large amount
Fnllmer, at l&et beginning to suspeot
something wrong, met the bogus
"Betts" and told htm he w&sdtno with
the whole matter, to whioh "Betts" re
p'led: "And I am dore with you."
YstUrday tho polloe arrested a
