DEPARTURE OF THE NEW GOVERNMENT sLoop OF
WAR.
The new sloop of war Ranger. built by the
Harlan & Hollingsworth Co. for the Govern
ment. sailed for the Navy Yard, at Philadelphia,
this morning, to receive her equipment. The
Government is arming its war vessels to be sta
toned in Cuban waters, it being seemingly involv
ed in complications with Spain growing out OF the
Cuban question. Several other new vessels are
also being armed 30 that quite fleet will be
ready for service by the end of the year
The Ranger is an iron steamer 175 feet long
so feet in beam and Is feet in depth OF hold.
She is model Of beauty, tower OF strength,
being well and compactly built, and we have no
doubt the Government will obtain good service
out of her. The machinery was put in at Ches-
ter, to which port the Ranger was sent some
months ago to receive it, after which she was
brought back to this city, the finishing touches
applied and the hull clad in coat OF black paint.
AS she passed out the Christiana, this morning,
she was much admired by those who Witnessed
her departure from the bridges and wharves.

Political Notes.

Among first signs of renewed Democratic
supremacy at the South has been the closing OF
tho public schools. 1t is 10 in Arkansas. in Ala
bama, in Texas. When tho carpet-baggers of
South Carolina stole the school funds OF that
State, there WIS cry OF Indignation throughout
the country The theft was one of the chief
counts against Republican administration of
Southern affairs. But now that one after another
Democratic State ut the South proceeds to abol-
lsl the whole school system, to -hattcr the cor
uer-stone OF free institutions, to doom the mass
of population to the hopeless ignorance that
makes men slaves and koeps them so,-now that
this happens, We find no furry OF excitement in
the Democratic press.- Chicago Tribune.
When Democratic politicians get to testirying
against each other, the exhibit OF Democratic in
wardness is odorous. Cen 5locum is running
IN Brooklyn as an independent Democrat lin OPP
position to the Ring. Mclaughlin, King OF the
Rng, made speech against him, in which he
told that when Socum was running for Congress
he came to Mclaughlin and said he should be de-
feated unless certain Republican meeting
should be broken mp. Mclaughlin said that
thereupon he sent 800 men, at cost OF $500,
to break mp the meeting, and that Slocum never
maid him

The PennsyIvania Election.

PROSPECTS OF To-MoRRows voTE-HAHrHANFr .
ELECTION Assured.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. There never was an
election in this State when the result WAS better
assured in advance of the casting Of the vote
than it seems to be now. 1t may be safely said
that the great mass Of the people of the State
regard Hartranft's election beyond any
doubt. There is no Boosting among Dem
ocrats, and they neither publicly nor pri-
vatey make any pretense to more than
feeble hope OF success. The Republicans
await the election with perfect confidence, with
seemed, till within dav or two, to be prudent.
But all information now shows a condition Of
feeling in the State that indicates Republican
victory, and decisive victory, so that there is
nothing left in doubt but the number of the ma
jority.
The Republicans ranks are unbroken The
predicted desertons on account OF the hard
times in the lumber, iron coal, and oil counties,
have not taken place, and the party is nearly as
solid as it ever was. In Western Pennsylvania
it is not as strong as iu 1872, but it ID i'll much
better shape than in 1874. Allegheny County,
which gave Democratic ma sjority Of 1900 last
Fall, will be carried by the Republicans this
year by fully 1000 majority. They
will also make laage though not 20 heavy
gains in Erie. Lawrence. Crawford, Vsnango,
Beaver-n short, in nearly every county wost of
the mountains, where they lost 30 surprisingly
last year. The anthracite counties will vote
about as they did in 1874, except Schuylkill
where the Republicans will gain There will be
no important changes in the iron districts, and
tue lumber region does not mold ont any hope to
the Democrats. In all the heavy Republican
counties, Hartranft will gain largely on Ohm
stead's maorites last year.

Great FIRE in Philanelpbia.

DEsrnUorIoS OF THE CARLETON wooLLEN Mills
TOTAL Loss OF .500.0 .000-900 HANDS OUT Oh
WORK.
has occurred in Philadelphia, since tho destruc-
ton Of the Jayne Building, on Dock street, took
place this morning, involving the destruc
ton of the large NC Carleton Mills,'
situated at 23l and Hamilton Sts. Tho mills
were formerly owned and operated by j. Z, Bru.
ner's mills They have been partially destroyed
by fire on two previous occasions. They arc a
present owned by David N. Lord, of New York
aud were operated by Philip q. Garrett K Co +,
manufacturers OF cotton, woollen and worsted
fabrics, the firm consisting of Mr.. Garrett, OF
this city, and Mr.. Lord.
The fire began in the second story of the dry
ing-house, and was promptly discovered by the
watchman, but unfortunately there wero none
of the employees or other persons at hand to
operate the very efficient fire apparatus provi-
ded in tho building. There WAS fierce wind
and the flames spread rapidly, il spite Of all the
efforts of the iiro department. In an hour, the
buildings were in ruins.
There were about 100 looms in the burned
buildings, and about 500 hands will be thrown
out of work The MILLS have been running OF
full time since last spring, and there was heavy
stock Of goods on hand, a shipment of $50, 00(
worth having taken place on Saturday. The loss
it was difficult to ascertain. Mr.. Garrett est
mates the total loss at at least half million dol
larH, in buildings, stock and machinery. Or
this there is all insurance of about 1926 900 or
buildings and machinery, and 510O, 600 on stock

held two days session. The Association COM
prises all the Baptist church on the Eastern

sented. Elder Bradford was elected Moderator,
DR., Sydney Handy Clerk, and y. Merrill,
Treasurer.
The report on the state of the churches was
presented by Rev. Mr.. Pauling, which was unani-
mously adopted. This report showed the
churches to be i'll prosperous condition, reyl-
val meetings having been held in nearly all of
them with very encouraging results. The Com
mittee on Obituaries reported through Rev. Il,
W. probasco, Chairman, which showed that only
deaths occurred during the past Associati0nal
year.

Tho Mn..nchnselts Onnynss.

There will be a larger vote polled next Tues-
day than is estimated by those who judge from
the character and temper Of the public meetings
alone for, while on the Republican side the
meetings have been largely attended, and the
interest has been well sustained, there has also
been great deal of satisfactory work done in a
qniet way, of which no special account has been
taken. We believe now, Judging from the best
information attainable, that tho republicans will
carry the State by not less than 10000 majority,
m spite of the temperance detection, and that
there will be republican gains in both branches
Of the Legislature But this belief is based upon
the assumption that the efforts of candidates, OF
committees. and OF citizens interested IN the re-
snlt, to secure full vote. are continued to the
el0se OF election day Boston Aduertiser 30M.

Correspondence Of the Commercial
MiDDLerowN, Oct. -.
The sesslons Of tho Teachers Institute were
closed at noon to-day. lts general effect haa
boen good on the cause of education in this town,
and it is believed that the Academy lore will
largely gain by this favorable influence. Intelli-
gent gentlemen express the conviction that ii
will build up this institution from the decay into
which 1t is evidently falling, and prevent the 10.
version OF the fund, at one time feared, by whicA
1t Ii sustained to the heir OF the donor
The Institute was opened, this morning, in tho
usual manner, after which an essay on Mental
Arithmetic was read in which the writer, WHO
had left it to be read by another, touk tine
ground that this branch of study was not a.
much taught as it should be.
Prof. Wiley, OF Wilmington, by invitation
opened the general discussion on Arithmetic and
insisted that there was three times w much OF
this science cranned into tho heads OF children
was necessary. Prof Woodruff followed in
an endorsement OF these yewa, and he wus sue
ceeded by Prof Jones and others.
Prof Woodruff theu made School Government
the theme of very interesting address, in which
he laid down a number of rules for practical OBJ
seryance by teachers. Messrs. Wiley and liey-
nolds also expressed their views or tho Same
subject.
Resolutions of thanks were thon adopted, in
which the teachers expressed their great gratili-
cation at the eordiulity with which they Ind been
received and entertained in Mdletoyn, and al
30 the pleasure which they hal derived from
listening to the discussions of Prof5 Wooirui,
Purnel, Harlan, Wiley and others vino were
not members of the Institute. Perhaps it might
be said here that Prof. Woodruff was quite com-
plimentary to tho teachers OF New Castle county
in his conversations with the people. and bore
cheerful testimony to their intelligence aud per-
sonal appearance, which we all know has much
to do with teaching.
Newark was chosen as the next place for hold
ing the Institute, the timo to be hereafter fixed,
and at noon the sessions closed.
