BRIG AsuoRE.-The brig Moses Day,
of Philadelphia, came ashore at Rehoboth
City at midnight on Saturday last. The
night was dark and foggy, SO much so
that the men at the life-saving station,
one mile distant, could not see the big
lighthouse. This was the cause of the
accident; no lights could be seen any
where. The brig was from Montividio in
ballast and bound to the Breakwater for
orders. She went up high and dry on
the beach, and required no assistance
The men at life-saving station No 2 were
at the point in fifteen minutes after she
struck, and those from No. also came
up, but their services were not required.
F. G. Maull & Co., have contracted to get
her off at price to be allowed by the
board of underwriters. 1t is thought that
she will soon be launched off without
damage. She is now in good condition
and does not leak.-NeipS.

INTERESTING II TEUE.-It is again
currently reported that the o. u. $. S.
Co., have determined te establish work!
shops along lines of railroads operated by
it, and have selected Georgetown as the
point for locating the same. Land, labor,
material, and other items included in any
calculation respecting the successful
operation of such establishments may be
secured there, on as favorable terms per-
haps as elsewhere, and being central asto
the different lines of road under control
of the company, the selection is good
one. 1t is also stated that the line of
boats from Lewes to Philadelphia, as in
tended last summer will be shortly run
ming. These steps when taken by the
company will add faith in the perma-
neDce of the investments made, and open
up another route for us to Philadelphia,
which will compete for trade and travel
from the lower peninsula by lessened
rates. Much of what could have been
gained in the way of establishing direct
water communications between these two
points by means of the company's own
boats, has been lost by the delay or fail
ure to take advantage of the increased
travel TO and from Philadelphia during
the past MiJerd NeicS.

Almost "a Fatal accident.

This morning about $50 O'Clock. as
Henry Pruitt, residing at 51O Spruce
street, and employed by James Morrow &
Son., had finished delivering some grocer
les at the residence Of Hon. James Pom
der, on Sixth street, near jefferson, he got
into the wagon, and in turning the cor
ner OF Sixth and Jefferson streets, the
horse suddenly took fright, and started to
run away. just above the corner the
horse gave sudden start, pulling Mr.
Pruitt out of the wagon and dashed him
with great force against a htchng post in
front of the residence of Lewis +: Adair,
No 603 Jefferson street at the same time
the wagon overturned, and the horse
breaking loose continued on his way, and
was captured at Sixth and Washington
treets.
MIR. Adair who WAS just coming out
OF the house nt the time saw the acci>
dent and went to Mr.. Pruitt's assis-
lance, helping him into the house and
upon lying,him upon the sofa he be
unconscious. DR.. Maui. was immedi-
ately summoned. and rendered medi-
Cal aid to the unconscious man No
wounds were found upon the body
with the exception of the left ankle,
which found TO be very much swol-
len. The physician decline to state the
amount of his injuries. although it is
thought by his friends, that he is
hurt internally, as he still lies in an
unsconcious condition. AT the time of
the accident there was another per
son In a wagon, but he escaped un-
nurt. The wagon was very slightly
damaged.

GAME.-Large shipments of wild geese
partridges and other game are still being
made over the lines of our railroad. In
view of the fact that nearly all now being
killed Is by professional gunners for mar
ket outside the State, we would suggest
to our sportsmen desirous of protecting the
game, we have, that the easiest and best
way is to shorten the period in which
game may be lawfully taken, and to pro-
hlbit the shipment from the State OF to
market after January lst, Of each year.
This is but just, since our neighbors
prevent the destruction of their game after
that date, and so turn their pot gunners
upon us. Sixty days would be quite long
enough for the purpose OF our own sports
men, and the extra time now had is mort
for the benefit Of such as should not be
allowed to come among us for this pur.
pose at all, than any one else.-News.

Bennett-May Mystery.
WHEREABOUTS OF THE DUE
LISTS.
RuMoRs THAT MAY is SERIOUSLY WOUND.
ED-MYsTERIoUs MOVEMENTS OF
sURGEoNs-wILL THERE RE
A WEDDING

uR@EoNs-wILL THERE RE
A WEDDING?
From the Baltimore Gazette.
The May-Bennett affair still remains
the object Of much talk at the clubs and
in social circles. At the Maryland club
the matter was, as usual, freely discussed
yesterday. The intimate friends of Freder
ick MAJ were positive in their assertions
that he was unhurt, but there were many
who still cling TO the belief that he is
wonded and concealed in the hunting
lodge of friend on the Gunpower. The
May party, including DIR. Frederick May
the second of Mr.. BENEFITS antagonist,
state that the report of the duel publish
ed in the GAZETTE on Wednesday morn
ing was absolutely correct 1t is so ac-
cepted by the family of DR.. May, in this
city. 1t is understood by the friends of
the parties at the club that DR.. Frederick
May, second to Fred May, and DIR.
Charles Tilghman, his surgeon, have left
for parts unknown. Some say Fred May,
of New York, accompanied them; others
that he is on the Gunpowder, as stated
above. There is so much mystery thrown
around the fact of the whereabouts of
Fred May that it is impossible to get at
the exact truth. The fact is known here
that DR.. Alan p. Smith has been absent
several days this week from town, and
has taken long rides III his sleigh. 1t is
also stated DR.. Pancoast, q celebrated
physician of Philadelphia, was absent
from that city in attendance ON a wound
ed man in Maryland, whom it is conjec-
tured was Fred May.
A contradiction of the report that Ben
nett had been married to Miss May and
had left with his wife in the Illinois
from Philadelphia for Europe was re-
ceived here. The parties supposed to
have been Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett were
Mr.. Cundell, the English commissioner
to the Centennial, and his wife. The
union of Bennett and Miss May, however
is deemed probable in this city from the
improved temper of the May party to-
ward that gentleman. The announce
ment of the marriage would create no
surprise in this city las it has been expect
ed by those intimate with the parties
since the duel. The impression has been
made, from what circumstances are not
known, but probably from the explanat-
ions that followed the interchange of
shots. 1t is such declaration was made
by Bennett, accompanied by excuses for
past misconduct, and better behavior in
the futvre. Whether this be true or not,
the fact remains that denunciations of
Bennett up to the day of the hostile meet
ing are now changed to ecomiums upon
his courage and conduct.

DR.. HOLLANDS NEW NOVEL IN
ScRIBNER.-DR. HOLLAND, it is under
stood, in his new story, "Nicholas Min
turn" will undertake, among other
things, to deal with some of the difficult
ties that surrounded the question as to
the proper treatment of the mendicant
classes. 1t is unders TODD that the story
will have good deal of "action," and
that while it has to do mainly with the
so-called upper classes, the relation be-
tween these and "the great unemployed"
will be an important phase of the narra-
tive. 1t is evident enough that the pop
corn man who has already come upon
the scene may easily be made the missing
ink in the social chain.

CLOUD BANNERS OF THE ALPS.

Among the most exquisite SCIENCES
which delight the eye of the European
traveller are those wonderful rose-col-
ored cloud banners, floating from the
Alpine cliffs. But it is only in the sun
light that Nature hangs out these beauti-
full tokens So it is only in the glow of
health-the sunlight of our inner being
that nature reveals those physical cloud
banners, the rosy cheek" and "cherry
lip" to praise which every poet of the
earth has invoked the Muse to aid him.
But they are as rare as the cynical Hood
conceived the Christian charity to be.
Woman, eager to retain this charm, re-
sorts to French art and rouge. The eff
feet is similar to that which would be
produced by substantial auctioneers' flags
for the delicate glowing cloud-banners
Of the Alps. If woman would aid Ma
ture instead of adopting art, would seek
health instead of vainly trying to mask
disease, she would not only win the
greatest charm of manhood-health-
but she would avert much misery both
from herself and others.
