Mr.. Dean Makes a Suggestion.

EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-In your paper
of the 16tn inst. your Dover correspondent,
in speaking of the action of the State Con-
vention, says: "The number of delegates
having been increased, 1t is hoped Dover
Hundred will get somewhat near her share
of representation, having one-fourth the
population Of the county and only one-ffth
of the delegates, having only eleven, when
she ought to have at least fourteen, If not
fifteen, under new apportionment." Now,
is not the above refreshing, coming from
among wseacres of the State capitol ?
When did they begin to learn that their
rights were not respected by the balance OF
the county? How different they pretend to
think and do act when New Castle county
asks that some of the Justice may be done

not pay four-ffths of all the expenses! and,
yet, have only the same representatives as

one of them ever advocated New Castle

Fire at the Centennial.

There were two alarms of fire yesterday
in the Centennial grounds, the first one Tor
time looking very serious. The alarm
came at 9 O'Clock from Agricultural Hall,
and the firemen rushing to the building
found that the Brazilian Cotton Pavilion IN
the main aisle was In flames. The origin
has not vet been ascertained. The tiremen
acted very judiciously, for instead of turning
on half a dozen streams of water, which
would have ruined thousands of dollars
worth of property, they pulled the cotton
from the roof and sides of the house and
threw It upon the floor, where water was
put upon it. The space on fire was aoout
80 by 30 feet. The loss will probably reach
about a Thousand dollars. There Is
theory that the visitors, who have been
pulling the cotton out and stealing IT as q
souvenir, have compelled the exhibitors 70
fill them up at night In order to preserve
symmetry, and match had dropped, which
being trodden upon set the material on flre
The coffee in sacks which was In the pa

About 4 O'Clock, there was q false alarm

A COMP11MENT TO WILMINGTON
A Japanese Tie,ctsg our Mechanical
Zndwstrjes.

AWUWStTI60s
Wilmington has long been noted for its
manufactures of different kinds, and for
this reason it is Of more than an ordinary
object of interest to ell tourists, especially
foreigners. During the summer we have
had visits from distinguished persons from
almost every portion of the globe who come
here, they say, to witness our industries. In
this way the fame of Wilmington has gone
abroad, until now it is we'll known fact
that every foreigner who is the least inter-
ested in progress in mechanical application,
seeks the machine shops and car works of
this city, before he can leave America for
home, or satisfy himself that he has at
tanned the object of his voyage.
Yesterday we we're introduced to Mr.
Mori, young gentleman from Japan. He
has been in America now nearI four years,
during which time he has been a private
student under instructions with gentle
man iu Boston. His studies have been
chiefly those relating to mechanical engi-
neering, and in order that he might get a
few practical ideas connected with ma
chinery and its appliances, his instructor
recommended Wilmington, to which place
he came, bearing letter of Introduction
to Pusey, Jones & Co. These gentlemen
sent him to Harlan & Hollingsworth where,
Yesterday, he was made acquainted with
the members of the firm, and given permis:
sion to view the drawings at his leisure, and
also to examine the machinery and works az
he wished. Mr.. Mori says that he could get
theoretical knowledge of mechanics In MS
own country, but there they are sadly lack
ing in practice. He is quite intelligent and !,
converses freely upon all subjects, especial,
on mathematics. He purposes to remain
here one year longer, by which time nj
hopes to have completed his studies, wher
he will return to Japan, and there endeavo1
to put in practice the learning he has acquir
ed In the United States. He is yet youne
man, not over twenty, apparently, but hi
conversation would lead many to suppos'
differently. While waiting upon his escort
Yesterday, he favored one Of the employer

Fall of q Blast Furnace.

At an early hour on Saturday morning
last, large blast furnace at the works OF
Mr.. James Lanigan, short distance above
Norristown, caved In, involving loss OF
about $25 900. The furnace was construct.
ed of sandstone, some fifteen years ago, o,and
has for some time past been considered In
an unsafe condition although being worked
daily. On Friday evening Mr.. Lanigan
notified the workmen to draw the molted
ore. While his men were thus engaged a
portion OF the front wall gave way, which
was followed shortly after by the caving IN
of the furnace and stack, burying beneath
the debris many tons of molten metal. Nc
one was dangerously wounded, one man
being slightly injured by brick when the
first crash commenced.
