trated by Hugh F. Sweeney, who on bat-j
urday night made a deadly assault upon j
Martin by hurling a heavy stone at his
head, crushing his skull. Sweeney is well
known as an ex-saloon keeper, ex-Chiet
Engineer of the Fire Department and a
ruffian of the first water.
!
Accompanted by a man named Bell,
Sweeney entered the saloon of Caroline
Klingler, 107 E 3d Sc., about 10 p. m. on
Saturday. He appeared, to be sober. In
the barroom were Arthur Wilson, Robert
Wlltoa and Thomas Martin Sweeney.
upon entering the saloon advanced to Ma r- ]
tin and shook hands with him and said bs
and Bell had just come from Philadelphia.
Wilson and Martin then twitted Sweeney j
good n.turedly upon ladng down on the |
coast instead of going to Philadelphia
Some other parties entered the saloon and
Martin engaged in conversation with them
In relation to pigeon shooting,Martin being
crack «hot. While the talk was going on
Sweeney oroeesd the room and said sneer
ingly to Martin. -You can't hit a flock of
barndoors." Martin replied "1 don't know
as it is any of your business as I sm trying
to arrange a match with these genUemen."
Hot word, ensued and In a few minute.
In a few minutes Sergeant Canon and j
Patrolmen Shield, and Crumli.h entered |
and saw Sweeney standing at one end of i
the bar with his ear and forehead bleeding
badly and Martin at the other end with the |
two Wiisous holding him. He wa. shout- '
iug: "It will take five Irish s-of b-.

tlve aim fired the stone, and though Mar
tin dodged, it struck him iqusrely over the
left eye, making a circular wound about
three inches in length. Martin fell uncon
scious, a condition from which he did not
recover until yeeterday morning about 7
o'clock.
The Wilsons and a coupla ot others car
ried the in jured man to Dr. N. B. Morri
son's drug store. Dr. Morrison sent tor
Dr. Ogls and a transfer coach conveyed
the injured man to the Western Hotel,
where an examination o{ bis wounds de
veloped tbe fact that tbe skull had been
crushed against the bone. The physicians
removed six small piecesot bones and found
an indentation on theinslds large enough
to admit one's little finger. The blow had
tbe effect ot deafening tbe man. This
morning he had a good night's rest and
was doing as welt as could be expected.
Tbe doctors entertain no hopes of his re
oovery and say that tba crisis will come to
day.
After Sweeney threw tbe stone he turned
withont a word and started at a terrific
pace up French St. and soon disappeared
in the darkness. The police officers re
turned to 2d and .French Sts. almost im
mediately after tbe tragedy and telephoned
to the City Hall. Officer Sohoer received
word from Dr. Ogle to have Sweeney ar
rested. A diligent search was sconce or
ganized. Sweeney's home was gone over
thoroughly. Every means of egress from
town was also watched. Tbe greatest dif
ficulty was experienced in securing com
munications with outside towns, and it was
not nutil next morning that any place bat
Philadelphia was reached. It is thought
that Sweeney is still in tbe city. He is
well known to Chief ot Detectives Woods
ot Philadelphia. His likeness appears in
the Rogues' Gallery there. In Chester
nearly everyone knows him, and in Balti
more be is known to the polios. Chief ot
Police Loper remained at the station all
night steering the searching parties.
Sweeney's Previous Crime.
On August 15,1874, tbe Fame Hose com
pany ot this city gave an excursion to
Bridgeton, N. J. At the hotel there some
of tbe excursionists began to throw ears of
corn about when tbe proprietor, a man
named Davie,objected. Some one broke an
ice pitcher over his bead and tbe eon, an
invalid scarcely able to crawl along tbe
side of the wall, attempted to prevent
Sweeney from going to tbe point of die'
turbance, for which tbe latter struck him
with a black-jack in tbe face. He died
the next morning Sweeney made no
effort to leave, but later in tbe day was
arrested for resisting an officer in another
row. After his arrest bs was charged with
tbe murder ot young Davis. His
friends here believed bim innocent and
raised a large sum ot m may for bis defence.
John O'Byrne, now of New York city, was
engagtd tor bis defence. Tba testimony
proved that Davis came to bis death by a
blow from Sweeney '« fist end not a black
jack He was convicted ot manslaughter
and sentenced to serve four years io tbe
penitentiary and an additional year tor
resisting an officer. He was released 11
months before his time was out for good
behavior. Upon his return to Wilmington
he was tendered a reception. He shortly
afterwards engaged in the saloon business
at 8S4 Church St , and continued there
until the last term of court, when he was

Upon investigation, Mr. Stout found three

was in n most dirty and disorderly
condition,Walter was suffering from scrof
ulous sores; one on bis neck eating its way i
into the j»«v bone and on bis neck eating i
into his windpipe. Tbe other little boy,
Jpsse;bad cut bis foot severely on a piece of
glass; some of ths neighbors bad kindly
tied it up for him.
Tbe children'« mother has been dead for
three years. Their father works at the
pulp works. He leaves home evet; morn
ing at 6 o'clock and does not return until 7
In tbe evening; the children la tbe mean
while are left to take care of themselves
The father told Ur Stout that be was
doing the best be could by his children, and
his permission, was obtained without diffi
culty, to allow the 8. P. C. C. to take
charge of them.
Tbe boy« were removed to tbe Borneo

Mr. Weaver of Philadelphia, plumber, [
said be thought that the exchange saved |
time and labor. It was one of the grandest |
projects ever started for the building inter ,
esta of the city.
Han. Charles H Lore was then intro-!
duced and received with much applause j
In opening he said he found that the
plumbers were at the bottom ot this nr- J
rangement. When a man wanted plumb j
ing repeirs pot ia bis bouse, be usually had |
to put the bouse in as part payment. The (
lawyers were not so hard as this; they |
would accept the estate of their client a, |
complete payment, and let the beirs have I
the rest. ( Laughter.! Personally, Mr. j
Lore, was delighted with ths movement. 1

but for that of all mechanics.
while tbe bad men would slip
out the back door. Individual power was
noth iug; organized effort was the groat
principle of success. The Builders' F.x
ebauge would help Wilmington to have
good buildings all the time.
Daniel W. Taylor, president of the
Board of Trade, made a few remarks. He
thought that the manual of the Philadel
phia Exchange, would be a good one to
pattern after. He «poke ot tbs increased
interest taken by the solid business men in
the Board ot Trade, and of tbe need ot en
lightening lbs people onteide of tbe great
ness ot Wilmington's manufacturing re
sources.
Mayor Rhoads congratulated tbe builders
on tbe first steps in tbe formation ot tbe
exchange. John O'Brien, a plasterer ot
Philadelphia, hoped that tbe good work
would continua A number of brief and
congratulatory addresses were then made
in quick succession by Enoch Rennich, a
Philadelphia plumber, and by Messrs. Tay
lor, Watson, O'Brien and J. C. Taylor of
this city.
President Foulk then announced that the
exchange would begin to day and that its
hours would be from 1 33 p. m. to 3 30 p.
m each day. Entering dues are $50,one-halt
payable in advance and (be remainder in
60 days. An annual mount of (30 for
running expenses will bs charged each
member. A communication was received
from tbe Supervising Architects at Wash
ingtou saying that plans ot public build
ings to be built ia this neighborhood would
be eeut to tbe exchange. Mr. Foulk closed
with a desire that all the members would
be present each day at the stated hour.
