cisSly II $50 P. M, and bsing nlled
exclusively with Wilmingtonisns Il
was announced that 1t would rur
through to Wilmington without stop.
ping except at Harrington to change
engines. This resolution was firmly
maintained until the train reached
Ellendale, having run % miles in an
hour, when it was brought to a sudden
halt by the engine giving out and
stubbornly refusing to perform further
duty.
Here was a dilemma unlocked for.
Word was telegraphed to Harrington
for second engine, but the appeal met
with an unfavorable response. The
next train had come up and was wait
ing in the rear, and afterwards still a
third train had come. After an hour
and a-half waiting in the pelting rain
the engine of the second train was
brought forward to the first train, the
third to the second, and SO on trains
were supplied from the Lswes end OF
the road.
The old crippled engine was thrust
aside on 4 side track, and dnally the
trains were put in motion again much
to the joy Of the excursionists. Har-
rington reached, the ponderous engines
of the DslawaFe road took up the trains
and landed them in Wilmington at IL
o'clock. Had there been. no mishaps,
the first train would have reached Viii
mington at half-past 8 O'Clock. Not
withstanding these little vexatious oc-
currences, everybody kept in the best
of humor and were we'll pleased with
their days experience, though some
what tired out by their long ride.
INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.
Both the Surf and the Bright House
at Rehoboth yesterday were eaten clear
out notwithstanding the fact that one
half the excursionists took their dinners
along with them.
H. G. McLear of the carriage firm OF
McLear & Kendall, opened his cottage
yesterday to all the employees of his es-
tablishment that came down on the ex.
cursion. He gave them grand set out,
and in every way contributed to their
pleasure, and comfort. Many of the
other cottages opened their doors for
the reception of their friends.
Emily Webb and sister who have
photograph gallery on the grounds, had
a harvest day of it, many of their
friends getting their pictures taken.
An old colored man who had lived in
that neighborhood for Is years said !
Golly Massa, nebber seed de like;
nebber node dar war so many people in
de world"
DR.. C. F. Richards Of Georgetown was
the excursionists. He was
chatty, agreeable aud always ready with
an interesting bit Of history or a joke.
Curt. Conway also from Georgetown
and oncein the Legislature, was on
hand in homespun. He lowered head
and shoulders above everybody else in
stature, and he has just recovered from
a severe illness.
1t was general renal that Ct the
5000 persons at Rehoboth yesterday,
not an intoxicated person was seen. So
much for temperance watering place.
All the Odd Fellows Lodges in Will
mington participating in the excursion
yesterday bought tickets and presented
them to the widows of deceased Odd
Fellows under the care of respective
Lodges. Some of them presented
tickets to the orphans of Odd Fellows.

ACCIDENT on THE ELM GROVE ROAD
Yesterday, while an Elm Grove street car
was ascending the grade at this end Of the
city bridge, en- route TO the city, one of the
horses stumbled and fell down. Before
the other horse was stopped he had pulled
the car over the PROSTATE animal. Then,
when an effort was made to right things,
the brake was loosened, and the car, hay.
ing in some way become detached from
the horses, started down the grade and
descended to the bottom. An extra horse
was put on, and after considerable DELAY
the car proceeded on Its journey to the
city. The. passengers, OF whom there
were several, were quite impatient at the
delay, and, as usual, blamed 1t all on "the
green driver"

UNDER HE Doc STAR.-Broiling Days and
Sireltering Nights.-There is a prepOnder-
ance Of heavy-eyed, listless persons upon
our streets, in our Offices and at our
homes. These symptoms tell Of nocturnal
struggles with the demons OF unrest let
loose when the mercury stays up in the
mansard OF the thermometer all night.
Out in the country slumberers have the
odds in their favor. A breeze in the city
at night is an exception; in the country
it is the rule. 1t doesn't console any one
to get down some work on astronomy and
discover that the sun is 5000, 900 miles fur
Their away than he Is in January, Nor
does It seem to help matters any 10 learn
that there is big spot on the sun. Prof.
Langley says that even these spots are a
great deal hotter than a steel melting fur
mace. There is no offset to the dismal
climbing OF the mercury, and that instru.
ment has very much to answer for.
An aggravating phase OF life during the
dog days is the appearance in print OF all
sorts OF advice. The business man who
fndsitimpossible to leave work for an hour,
reads OF five dollar excursions and sail
on the lake" with suppressed anathema,
andlthe hurried and worried man whose
duties andtemperament oblige him TO both
hurry and worry, is confronted daily with
a paragraph begging him to take things
easy, keep cool, move slowly, and don't
worry, II you would pass unscathed
through, tho heated term Then he
glances at the mercury, thinks Of his daily
grind, and wishes he were sailing north

who wrote this good advice were far be.
low the keel Of the vessel. Altogether,
while these seasons Of undue caloric NAV
be sent to US for some wise purpose, 1t is a
blessing most thoroughly disguised, like
sugar.coated pill.
