began an interesting and instructive address
against the evils Of intemperance, and said
it was mems misfortune and not their faults
that they sold or drank liquor, and hoped
that they would be forgiven just as Jesus
asked God to forgive His prosecutors, on
the ground that they knew not what they
did. We come here, he continued, to help
bear one anothcr's burdens, and not con-
demn people who did wrong, because that
was Lot christianity. Mr.. Duval spoke for
about an honr and halfgiving many illus

ton. When he had concluded, Mr.. Pickles
sang q hymn in his usual excellent manner,
after which Mr.. Wells announced that Rev

FATAL EXPLOSION.
Zsco Men Killed and One Seriously IN
p .. jaxTed ..

About ten O'Clock on Saturday morning a
fatal explosion occurred In the stone quarry
at Belleview about three miles from the city.
The workmen had drilled hole in the
rock, and charged it for blasting, but the
fuse having failed to act whenit was ignitcd
the charge did not explode. The men then
returned to the blast, and, in order to make
the operation of boring out the charge q
successful one, they poured water upon it ,
and after waiting, as they thought, suffi-
cient while, began boring out the old
charge, when it exploded, blowing one ofthe
men, Robert Meaken, short distance in
the air, killing him instantly; and an ether,
named Richard Andrews, about seventy
feetv, who in falling struck his head upon q
rock, bespattering it with blood and brains;
hi breast was also badly burned. He was
taken Immediately to the Aims House,
where he received the medical attention of
Drs. Ogle and Shertledge, who dressed hie
wounds, all the while he was unconcious
and about O'Clock in the afternoon died
One Of the men who was also engaged at
the quarry, received several severe injuries,
but none of fatal character, and he will
j recover. .,,
Coroner Groves held an inquest in the
afternoon over the dead bodies of Andrews
and Meaken, and the jury rendered yer
dict in accordance with facts stated. The
men injured were all colored.

A E.Cindle,

For some time past man representing him
self TO be an agent of Firemen's Centennial
Association, has been attempting to obtain
subscriptions by presenting u book contain
ing the names of Mayor Whitley and other
prominent citizens, as subscribers for large
amounts. The man succeeded in obtaining
one subscription, when by somc means the
book was captured and handed over to the
Finance Committee of the Association.
The matter has been placed in the hands of
the police, and the swindler will probably
be captured to-day. 1t is known that two
others are connected with this plot but
only as instigators. The Chief of Police has
full description of the party and has been
quietly at work since Saturday. 1t ists the
credit of the tiremcn that this first attempt
to obtain money in this manner in their
name has been nipped in the bud.

EDITOR OF THE HERALD.--I noticed in
The HERALD of Saturday, paragraph
stating that there was never at any time be-
fore such a passion as now prevails among
mothers to have the pictures of their chill
dren taken. This attributes the whole
matter to mothers. Now would like to
know if the fathers haven't something to DO
with this too. A few days since / accom-
panied a father and mother to have pic
ture taken of their first born. I had always
heard it said that if you wish to see two
fools, look at the actions of a father and
mother over their first baby. Upon this
day I saw it most plainly, but, think, the
biggest fool of the two was the father, who
fairly stood upon his head in his endeavors
to attract the attention of the baby to the
camera after this l am, convinced that the
fathers are Just as much imbued with this
passion as>the mothers.

Timely Appearance,

+ Only for the timely appearance of Benz
amin Morris and Officer Whclan at the cor
ner of 9th and Orange streets, yesterday
morning, the fire in the cooper shop, an
nounced in another column, might have
been Of a more serious nature. 1t was
about half past two o'clock when the men
arrived at the corner Of 9th and Orange, and
they were on the point of separating
when Mr.. Morris, looking up Orange, no.
ticcd light in the window of the shop.
He at once called the officers attention to
it., and remarked that it was fire. Mr..
Wheelsn at once started 10 the en-
gine house, and Mr.. Morris to alarm the
people. Thus by the timely efforts of these
two mel, what might have been serious
fire, resulted in but slight loss.
This is the second time in which Mr..
Morris has, in similar way, saved a
building from destruction, the former case
being that Of Gutherie's coach shop, over
Christiana bridge.

A Ne.O Wilmington Enterprise.

In the decade before 1870, the establish
ment of new enterprise, even OF consider
able Importance, in our city, was SO fre-
quent all occurrence as to obtain nothing
more than passing notice, or perhaps
complacent remark, that we are still going
ahead, but since the disastrous panic Of
1879, such occurrences have nOt been fire.
quent and indeed 1t has been rather the dis.
continuance of important industries, that
has been its rule. It is therefore as a mat
ter of some Importance, that we announce
the opening Of the second largest boot and
shoe factory, inthis city, which takes place
to-day. . .. 90
r. P. A. Harris, of Philadelphia, who has
in that city large and important manufac-
tories of this character, has for some time
been looking for proper location where
to establish branch of his industry, with
the intention if the movement works well
to remove his entire factories from the
Quaker City. For several reasons he has
concluded that it will pay him better to
have some other place than Philadelphia,
and has decided that this city presents the
most advantages and has made the
proper arrangements, which are now
complete and he will begin work to-day
He has rented the large building formerly
occupied by W. A. Turner & Co., 30S West
Third street, as a morocco manufacturing
establishment, and made the proper altera-
tions to turn it into an extensive boot sand
| shoe factory. He has employed
all the old hands of W.; A. Turner,
and what others that are neces-
sary. It will be much larger estab,
lishmcnt, than the one at Fifth and
| Walnut, owned by Col. Mccullough
& Co., and if the experiment proves
as successful as he thinks it will, the
entire business which Mr.. Harris now has
in Philadelphia will be removed to this
city. He does not expect Of course, a mar
ket in this city, but to have very extensive
trade west and south, and if the business
becomes a part of our industries, 1t viii
prove an important and valuable addition
The fact that it" gives employment to Will
mington workmen, and thus far will add
to the comfort of our citizens and thu
wealtheof our city, will render the new en-
terprise doubly welcome. Mr.. Harris is .
gentleman of experience and means, ant
will push the business with vigor, and i
there is any possibility of this importan
trade becoming a part of our manufac
turing Importance he will make it go
There are several. reasons which led Mr.
Harris to- select this city,, the most i'm
portant being the cheapness of matelia
and shopping facilities which Wilmington
affords. Everything has been arranged
and as we have said, the factory will b
| opened to-day.

A Ne,U Peninsula railroad.

The project for the building of railroad
from ElktOn to Middletown has been re-
vived. Speaking of the new effort the Cecil
Democrat" says: Already matters have
assumed such shape that it is hardly over
sanguine to promise that in little while
the thing will be accomplished. Men OF
capital, experience and enterprise have
taken hold Of it, and have not only the will,
but the way. A bill has been prepared and
forwarded to the Legislature, providing for
the re-enactment Of q law passed in 1867, in
cooperating the Elkton & Delaware juno
tion Railroad Company, which conferred
the power to lay off and construct road
not exceeding one hundred feet in width,
from point not more three-fourths of a
mile from the town of Elkton, to the bound
ary line between Delaware and Maryland,
so as to connect with railroad to be built
from either the Delaware railroad or the
New Castle g. Frenchtown railroad, to the
said State line; and also conferred Other
privileges ample for all purposes.
The corporators mentioned in the revived
act are: Jacob Tome, of this county; and
Enoch Pratt, Thos. Donaldson, Samuel NJ
Shoemaker, Thomas Whitridge, Benjamin
H. Latrobe and William J. Hooper, of Bal.
timore. A glance at these names will not
only show that there is abundant capital
representing the enterprise, but also that
the P, W. & B. Railroad Company favor 1t
Messrs. Tome, Pratt, Donaldson$ Shoema-
ker and Whitridge are at present directors
in that company; Mr.. Latrobe is. an emf
nent civil engineer, also connected with or
frequently employed by the company snd
Messrs. Donaldson and Jones are among its
regularly retained legal advisers. We arr
further advised, however, that the P, W. &
B. Company not only favor this measure
but deem its early construction an absolute
necessity, in order to secure to the PENN
sula equal market facilities to Philadelphia
and Baltimore, and to that end will endorse
bonds of sufficient amount to effect the
completion of the road.

PEACHES.
The Coming Season.

It is now about the time to begin to as
certain to some degree, as to what injury
the cllangeable weather has done to the
peaches. We -glean~ the following facts
from our country exchanges. 49, y,
Z. r. Cochran, Esq. brought 10 the Mid
deltowu ''Transcript office a few days ago,
a handful of switches cut from the peach
trees of s. +. Shallcross, all of which were
nearly full of live, healthy looking buds.
There were a great many dead ones mixed
among them, it is true, but there. were
plenty left to make, if they should mature,
a tremendous big crop Of peaches, as far as
these trees 60. We don't know Of. what
varieties these were, says the "Transcript,"
but there were several different kinds, and
they were doubtless taken from old trees,
for Mr.. Cochran and other gentlemen say
that the buds on their young trees--that is
trees, three, four and five years old-are
pretty much all killed. Others say that
the yellow varieties are badly hurt, on
this all are agreed. This has certainly
been hard winter on peaches. The warm
spells, then sudden cold snaps have played
havoc among the tender buds.
The Leader - Of Chrisfeld, Md,
which is further down the Peninsula says
great apprehension is felt in regard to the
fruit crop. The peach buds are swollen
almost to bursting, and storm OF sleet or
freezing weather which invariably visits US
in March, would very materially damage
the crop. There has been considerable
damage done already.
The papers still further down where the
buds are further advanced are complaining
that great deal of damage has been done,
but the prospect from what we can CLEAN
from ali sources. is splendid one for .
very large crop this coming season. There
is yet danger ahead, but it is seldom at this
crisis of the. year that we have 90 many en- :
couragiug words spoken for the crop, as
the journals down the Peninsula speak
now, and there is every reason to- believe
that the crop Of 1876 will not only be
large one but will pay. t q aaGol -

The Delaware Railroad Company are
putting up new substantial brick depot at
Mt. Pleasant station.
Public sales in the vicinity Of Middletown,
are remarkably scarce, there being in fact,
fewer this spring than there have been be-
fore for several years. A good sign for
farmers says the Transcript.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hand, who have for some
time been engaged in the service OF Mr..
Jervis Spencer, of Kent county, Md, the
husband as farm laborer, recently received
intelligence that caused them TO lay down
the shovel and the hoe and make Tor the
old country-they had fallen heir to an es-
tate of about $125, 900.
An extra train is to be run over the
D. and D, R. R. on Sundays hereafter
until further notice. .,
A committee of three gentlemen Of Wicom
leo co.. Md, will go to Annapolis to-day to
urge immediate action upon,a bill providing
for local option for the county.
More than one thousand names have been
sent up to the Legislature from Wicomico
county asking for local option law. Mr..
Dashiell has asked leave to introduce 10
cal option bill for that county in the House
Of Delegates.
A meeting of citizens will be held in

tions have been secured to insure the build
ing Of the railroad from Lewes 70 Reho-
both Camp Ground, and that the road will
be in running order by the Goth of June
next. The camp commences on the 2lst OF
July. r
A report has reached Middletown from a
distance that gambling house is kept with
in sight Of the depot, and is patronized by
many prominent citizens. '-'
For some unaccouLtable reason, says the
"Lewes Light" fish of every kind have
been very scarce along our shore during
the whole of the past season.
Work has been suspended on the new
