DAN'L DRUCE.

Mr.. i. c. Bangs, the well known ac-
tor, appeared last evening with hif ex-
cellent company at the Opera Houst in
U. s. Gilbert's best and most powerful
drama, Ddnp Druce, "or the Village
Blacksmith" The acting of Mr.. Bangs
was not osIy powerful, but showed at
times that he has reserved ability
which he can call upon at any time
without failure. His support has been
selected with great care, and as CON
sequence it was excellent, especially
Mis- Josie Bailey, who has recently
joined the company, and is not only a
decided acquisition to it, but one of the
finest delinea:Ors of the character she
takes that has appeared on our stage. The
drama is one of an order that cannot be
too highly commended, for the moral it
teaches, both by the public ana the press.
1t is deeply Affecting and truly beauti-
iul, and those who tailed to attend last
evening certainly missed an excellent
performance, but fortunately they will
have another opportunity this evening,
when the same piece will be again pre-
sented.

SECOND EDITION
Wires along the Coast.

A COAST LINE OF TELEGRAPH, coNNEc-
ING THE LIFE SAVING STATION OF this
DIsThICT WITH WASHINGTON.
Last Mondays GAzETTE contained an
item in reference to the line of telegraph
being erected along the Atlantic coast,
south from Cape Henlopen 10 Cape
Charles by the U 8. Signal Corps. An
account OF the work and its cause will be
not found uninteresting' The following
is gleaued from q reliable source:
THE NECESSITY OF THE WORK.
The idea of this line is to establish a
line of coast telegraph from Lewes and
the Delaware Breakwater south, to con>
meet the life saving stations with the
lines to Cape Charles. The necessity OF
this IL very apparent, aud our Signal
Corps deserves edit for Initiating and
lnaugurating the work aud carrying 1t
ou, 80 that the whole coast will be con-
| nected by wire with headquarters at
Washington and with each other. The
necessity of this line of coast telegraph
will be at once apparent TO any one who
glances at the map from Cape HenlopeD
| TO Cape Charles. South Of Lewes is a
narrow strip of beach extending to In
dian river, and divided from the main
land by sRehoboth bay; south of In
dian river, we have again narrow strip
extending to Ocean City, and still fur
I
land. all of which ~ separated frcm the
main land and consists of sand bars OF
| Gland of sand" with little growing on II
but sand grass. Along this line of ocean
beach 1T Is that lives are so often lost, and
the Government has in it's beneficence
placed lite saving statiors at the points
where wrecks IN ost frequently occur.
ITS USE IN STORM INDICATIONS.
But in addition to this it is necessary
necessary to the, safety of commerce
that closer and quicker communication
be had between the stations and prompt
reports BIZ made to the Chief Signal Or
ficcr at Washington of the changes OF
wind, tide, swell, surf. etc, so that
prompt warning may be given by The
cautionary signals along tue coast OF the
approach of a storm. In The work OF
connecting the differeRt stations along
tue coast and putting them in direct
communication with Washington the
Signal Corps is now engaged.
THE SIGNAL SERVICE.
In order to fully appreciate the neces
sity of this work and of the various othel
departments of the service, a person
must visit the coast, and witness tn,
, workings of the Signal Corps. Every
! one who leaves by steamboat for the
South can retire to his state room will

Another of those unfortunate, fatal
accidents, occurred OH the Philadelphia,
wilmington Il Baltimore Railroad last
night, the circumstances of hich, as far
as can be ascertained from the officials
In this city, - as follows:
1t appears that man, who is supposed
to have been a tramp, boarded the extra
freight train leaving Baltimore, and as
the train approached Mill Creek bridge,
about two miles this side of Perryvilie,
the man fell between the cars and was
instantly killed. Its thought that the
man was riding on car about midway
OF the train, and when he fell about ten
cars passed over his body, mangling it
in a horrible manner.
by some means the accident was ho-
ticed ~ d the t. ain stopped. Upon ex-
animation of the p1ckcls of the deceased
the only article found was card bear
ing the name Of "Juhn Crow, Chicago
Junction" He is described as being
about thirty-6ve years of age; wearing
dal k clothes, aud having a moustache

4 TIMELY SERMON.

sermon on the death Penalty" which
was most timely. No one could listen
to or psruse it without deep interest,
and cordial sympathy 80 least with the
speakers most humane and practical
views. We would like 90 give place 20
the entire sermon, but space forbids
The following were the concluding
words; "Wilh this testimony, ! con-
clude what You will bear me witness
has been no sentimental argument, nor
a question as 10 the right of the State,
nor an attempt 20 interfere between the
menace of death in particular cases and
the fulfliment Of that menace. ] have
simply shown in dry light the de-
ductions Of experience. / have simply
tried TO break the popular fallacy that
hanging laws deter criminals or human
ize society. have eudeavored TO show
that reform in the whole system Of con-
viction and penalty is our best hope OF
security, and ! express the belief that
such reform will be followed 10y slough
ing of Of the death penalty as use
less, and an encumbrauce, a confusion
Of moral perceptions, rather than vim
