The Panama railroad monopoly is vigor.
ously opposing the Nicaragua canal project.
1t seems that they had already completed ar
rangements with DeLesseps for the pur-
pleted, paying the French company $4,000
900 for the monopoly. If the Nicaragua pro-
.ject is accomplished the extortionate tolls
over the Isthmus, as well as the enormous
through freights on the Pacific railroads, will
be things of The past.

A Sacrifice Of Toys.

VIM. Coleman & Co.. the enterprising vari-
ely merchants have lately received an excel
lent, well assorted and large stock of merchan-
disc in their line. Their stock of Christmas
goods is especially complete, and The amount
of toys on exhibition simply astonishing. 1t
is the intention of the firm to dispose of the
present supply of goods absolutely regardless
of cost. Their immense supply of toys will
be sold at Eastern prices, as it is the inten-
ton of Mr.. Lewis to permanently go out of
that line of business.

Our Ice Cream Treat.

Yesterday about 10 o'clock tele-
gram reached us from J. Z. Burke,
Ridley Park, Delaware county, Pa,
with the following: "Can of ice cream
OH arrival two-ffty depot. Compli-
ments J. L. Burke" Our comprehen-
sion sometimes dull took in the mean
ing of this at once, and at the time ap-
pointed we were on hand with what is
called in printing Offices, the "devil, !"
and wheelbarrow. Arriving at the
depot, we found the promised can of
cream, and in wonderful short space of
time it was whirled up to the editorial
and composition room OF the REPUBLICAN
office, where we soon had the whole
force employed on the REPUBLICAN
around us with spoon and dish in hand.
We commenced and we dished out, and
then dished again, and then we dished
out q third time to those who had re-
markable expansive powers until the
whole of the two dozen and odd ELL
ployees of the REPUBLICAN were served
to their satisfaction. We can find no
better word than delicious" to give
our ides of the cream, and in this all
agreed without dissenting voice. The
whole REPUBLICAN force units in thank
ing Mr.. Burke for his kind compliment
which meant more than mere sentl-
msnt. We intend to practice little
more on croquet so that the next time
wa visit Ridley Park and play a game
with Miss Lille, We will not be COM
pelled to come home with our colors
trailing in the dust, and be sn'ggered
at by our Wilmington friends who have
no idea how bad a fellow feels when he

The Penn Loan.

MRssRs. EDIToRs:-Mr. Geo. G. Maris
in commenting upon your notice of the
maturity Of the Penn Loan Association,
omits mentioning some important facts,
connected with the closing of the loan
in contrast with the Penn Loan. He
says the Citizens Loan is about closing
its full series, i'll years and 2 months,
but neglects to state that the Auditors,
Messrs. ellen Gawthrop and VIM. W.
Stapler, attest that the loan is still in
debted to the stockholders of the LIST
series $74, 10000 and it will probably
require six or seven years to pay that
amount and make a real close. The
Penn Loan made bona tide close pay
ing every dollar due its stockholders in
. years, 8 months and 2 weeks. The
Aid Loan is II years old, and owes the
of lst series, $54, 10000
according to the report of the Auditors.
Respectfully, Z. X. CRAWFORD.
Prest. Penn Loan.

A Young Girls Suicide.

Miss Mary Eagan, 10 years old. COM
mitted suicide on Monday morning at
No. 644 Hudson street, New York. She
was an orphan, and after her mothers
death, few years ago, she supported
herself by sewing. Her uncle, Luke
Eagan, of Brooklyn, had some money
which had been left to her by her mo-
ther, but he refused to let her have it.
To get her money she began law suit,
and the case dragged in the courts
without any prospect of a speedy ter
mination. Her little hoard began to
melt away rapidly, and she became We
ry melancholy. On Monday morning
while alone in her room she shot her
self through the right temple with a
small pistol which she chad secretly
purchased. She died almost immedi-
ately. A bank book which she left
showed that she had money enough re-
naming to pay her funeral expenses.

The bloody Ground.

"A special despatch from Grayson,
KY, tells the following story: "Jesse
Underwood was shot in the deor of his
fathers house, known as Fort Under
wood, yesterday morning. The Hol-
brook party surrounded the house,
threatening to kill anybody who would
dare to bury Jesse's body or rescue
George, who is badly wounded, and,
with the women and children, all that
remains of the unfortunate Underwood
family inside of the house. George TO-
day sent word to the County Judge,
praying for help and protection. The
Governor has been appealed to, but has
not responded. This is the fifth mul-
der within the last three weeks in Car
ter County, four of the murdered men
Underwoods, and one member of the
Holbrook tribe, and nothing has been
done by any officer, from the Governor
down to the County Magistrates to
check this fearful bloodshed.

Arrivals at tho Zoo.


,, The Geological Gardens in Philadel-
phia, received few days ago an orang-
outang, q male Gland, two black wolves,
l8 boa constructors, one saddle billed
stork, one Cinereus eagle, a lot Of birds
and monkeys and female tApir. The
boa constructors ranged in size from
seven 10 twelve feet, and with the six
large ones already in the Garden
makes, 1t is said, the largest and finest
collection in the country. Unfortu-
nately, the enclosure in which they are
confined, about 9 by 4, and ten feet
high, is not large enough, and as some
of them are 10 and II feet in length,
they are pretty we'll crowded. Their
food consists Of rats, rabbits, guinea
pigs, chickens, &c. These are placed
in the cage alive, when, if the snakes
are feeding, they will be seized at once
killed by construction, and swallowed
whole. 1t is calculated by the keeper,
Mr.. Sheppard, that it will require
q, 600 rats year to feed them.
At present some OF them are she'd
ding their skins. This occurs five or
six times year. The orangoutang is
a rare specimen, between three and
four years old. Sac is the first orang-
outang ever owned by the society and
is valued on account Of the scarcity Of
the species as they are rapidly becom-
ing extinct. Mr.. Rolling, the keeper,
who also had charge Of the champan-
gees, has already commenced to train
her. She will drink from cup, eat
with spoon, eat mutton chops, rice,
bread and butter, chicken, ETC., and
drinks with evident relish the milk
and wine offered her. She is about the
size of the champanzees, but has much
longer arms and a different shaped
head, and is very slow in her motions.
Provided she lives she will attain a
highth of about four fest.

weather ali over tho World.

"Old Prob" is going to make another
advance. As the result of his recent
visit to Europe he hopes to be able to
make many important changes in the
weather service. Among other things
he expects to present every reader
of American newspapers, at the break
fast table, with report of the condi-
ton of the weather all over the world.
At present the signal service is only
able to issue these "world-weather
charts" monthly. These charts repre-
sent the condition Of the atmosphere
and direction of storms and all the va
ried in formation so valuable to COM
merce. General Meyer hopes to issue
these charts hereafter daily, and they
will, of course, prove to be invaluable
to commerce. The nations oftL world
are all interested in this subject, and
the naval officers of the different coun-
tries have been instructed to make
acurate observations whatever they
may he.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.

The most exciting runaway that has ever
been witnessed in this city took place yester-
day afternoon. A lady and gentleman were
coming down Carson street In twe-horse
buggy, the lady driving, and as they were
crossing the railroad track near the depot the
horses made lurch as if DESTROYS of getting
away. The gentleman then took the relns
out of the lady's hand, thinking that he could
manage them, but they were too much tor
him; they pulled and started into tearing
gallop. One Of the gentleman arms had at
one time been broken, and he found that the
strain was too much for him, and said so to
his companion. So she took one rein with
both hands and he kept the other, pulling
and saving away at the horses as if for dear
life, and it did look for all the world like
battle for life Either side of Carson street
was black with people watching the progress
of the runaway. At that time the street was
full of all kinds OF teams, but the runaways
were guided out ct their way with mathemat-
ical precision winch was really admirable.
Another admirable feature i'll connection with
this runaway which looked If it might prove
fatal to the occupants of the buggy, was that
the lady did not utter a scream nor showed
the least signs of alarm, but displayed ferti
tude which would make hero of man.
When the team reached the Prison road they
made short turn, half upsetting the buggy
and spilling the occupants into the dust, but
without injHring them, which was indeed
very wonderful The buggy Immediately
thereafter righted itself, and the horses kept
on in their mad career. The GOODNESS and
presence of mind which both lady and gen
tleman displayed really rare and com
nendable. The gate of the State Prison was
open when the maddened horses got there,
and they rushed into the yard and ran up to
the stable, in front Of which a large wagon
stood. In their endeavor to get by it they
made wreck of the buggy. They were then
and kept there until their owner
called for them.

BURGLARY-On Sunday night the barber
shop of John Vierra, in the Arlington House,
was broken into and S55 IS taken out OF ii
little toy safe which was screwed into one OF
the little toilet stands. The suspected party
is a Canadian boy who had been employed IN
the shop as Il boot black He did not make
his appearance yesterday morning, but left
his brushes and other things in the shop. The
police are after him, and as he can not be a
great distance from here yet, it is likely that
he will be captured.
INDIAN OPIUM SMOKERS. Sunday after
noon as Mr.. Latta, the Capital Janltor, was
on his way down town, he saw three Indians
who looked as if they had been drunk for
month, emerging from barn near his house
He asked one what allied them, and the reply
was that they had been given opium by the
Chinese, accompanying the confession with
loud curses upon the heads of their tempters.
The Indians must have smoked an unusual
quantity, for their breaths rocked of the vile

CHURCH MATTERS. were present at
St. Peters Episcopal Church on Sunday
morning, where, after the usual morning
service, the Rector, Rev. George R. Davis,
made the annual report of the work of the
parish. During the year, the amount con-
tributed for the support of the gospel was
s., 359 OF, coming from pew rents, the ladies'
fair OF last Winter, Sunday School offerings,
and the amount contributed for the poor at
the administration of the Holy Communion.
This shows great liberality on the part of the
Pensioners, as well as active and systematic
work by the pastor. The debt of the church
has been removed, and there is no reason
why, with energetic work, there should not
be aourishing congregation. Mr.. Davis has
certainly done we'll since his incumbancy, but
needs few Aaron's and Hurs to hold up his
hands. No church, of any denomination, ever
fourishes without the cooperation of the
laity, and if the heads of families in the par
ish will take the interest it is their duty to do,
as parents and good citizens, the reflex influence
of the church on themselves and tho young
will assuredly render double interest for all
their pains and money expended.
TARANTULA- Sunday morning little
boy, having good sized tarantula in glass,
called in at ThaxteIs drug store and asked if
they bought spiders there. He received
negative reply and was in the act of leaving
the store, when Deputy Sheriff Powers who
was present, asked the boy to let him see
what he had. On examination he found it to
be full grown tarantua. He told the boy to
take it to Henry Decker's where he could get
a good price for it, as they used such things
in the manufacture of whiskey Now,
we consider Dir. Powers insinuation a base
SANDER on respectable saloon man.

DECORATIONS, ETC, FOR THE
GRANT RECEPTION.

From Major S. c. Scoville, Secretary of
the Citizens Committee, we learn that the
plans for the decoration of the State House
are complete, and only require the necessary
labor to carry them into practical effect. Elk
tensve preparations are being made to beau
lify that building in superb and creditable
style. 1t is to be hoped that before the week
closes the decorating enthusiasm will become
general throughout the city, and that Carson
street will appear resplendent in artistical
arrangements of the national embems. A
large quantity of wreathing-at least l 900
feet-will be required to carry out the de-
signs of the Committee, and for the accom-
plishment of that object an invitation is cor
daily extended to the ladies of this city to
assist in the manufacture of that indispen-
sible article President Byrne, of the Reform
Club, generously places the Club billiard room
at the disposal of the ladies this week, both
day and evening: 1t is earnestly hoped that
our ladies will appreciate the Importance of
the occasion, and with their proverbial good
nature and a:niability, come forward to assist
in this good cause. Mr.. II. M. Yerngton,
General Superintendent of the " + T. R. r.
Co., is again exhibiting his public spirit and
generosity, by donating all the lumber that is
required for the arches, and more than that,
he is having them built in his shops, free of
expense to the Committee To say the least,
it is kind and considerable act, which is
thoroughly appreciated.
