REHOBOTH NOTES.

1t is said that the usual camp meet

In lien of the camp-meeting there

The provisions made for the accom-

SEIZED WITH CRAMPS.

The first drowning case while bath
ing this season occurred on Saturday
afternoon last, about l o'clock, in the
Christiana, near Market street bridge.
The victim was a young lad about 16
years old, who was employed on Le-
high Navigation Canal boat, which
was lying at Market street wharf. AS
stated above he was in bathing with a
number of other boys about the same
age, and he bantered them to swim
across the creek. They refused to ac-
company him, and he started to swim
across by himself. He had not pro-
ceeded very far when he was seized
with cramps, and called for help. A
number of colored men who were
standing on the bridge started to his
assistance and endeavored tothrow him
a pole, but before they could do so he
had sank. A search was made for his
body, but up to 10 a'clock this morn
ing it had not been found. He was
known ON the boat by the name OF
Dennis. His parents reside in Potts
vile, Pa.

Rescued from the Race.

Yesterday morning, two ladies and
two small children were walking along
the Brandywine race bank enjoying
the bright sunshine and the beautiful
scenery. One of the children was a
little boy in all the glory of his first
pair of pants, and the boyish dignity
thus acquired caused him to bound
along the bank with all the friskiness
of yearling calf. Suddenly, while
playing too close to the waters edge,
he slipped and plunged headlong into
the swiftly-running race. The ladies
screamed wildly, but were unable to
do anything for the little fellow, who,
with his head under water and one
hand protruding above the surface was
being carried down the stream. Fortu-
nately, however, Councilman VIM. ii.
Blake happened to be close by, and
taking in the situation at a glance, he
rushed to favorable spot and throw
ing himself fiat upon the bank he
reached out, and grasping the hand of
the drowning boy drew him safely out.
Then Mr.. Blake placed the drenched
youngster across his knee, face down.
ward, and rolled him until all the water
he had swallowed ran out ofhis mouth.
By this time the boy was almost conf
pletely recovered and able to walk
away. The boys mother was nearly
overcome with gratitude and was most
profuse in her thanks to the gallant
Councilman for his well-timed efforts.

SPECIAL STREET GATHERING sATUR-
DAY EVENING.
City Council met at Maryland Ave
nue. and Monroe street, Saturday even
ing, to consider what measures had
best be adopted to relieve this locality
from the overflow annually occasioned
by the summer rains. 1t was decided
to run 30-inch terra Gotta drain down
Chestnut street, from Adams to the
east side of Maryland Avenue, which
will carry all the surface water that
now runs down the street. The drain
to have inlets at the northwest and
southwest corners of Adams and Chest
nut streets.
Council also instructed the City Sur
veyor to report the grades of Maryland
Avenue, Chestnut and Monroe streets,
which have not yet been legally estab-
lished.
The members, at the request of Mr..
Mention, next proceeded to West Lib
erty street and Railroad Avenue, and
viewed the proposed extension of this
street to the Marsh Lane. The land
for this purpose was condemned years
ago. DuI tlic SIIcob HAS uOI ytb Deell
opened, The improvement is anxious
ly desired by the people of this neigh
borhood as it would afford them a
more convenient route of travel in
reaching the heart of the city than they
now possess. The Council instructed
the City Surveyor to place the street
on the city map and report grade.
1t is proposed to construct bridge
here so as to convey the bed of the
street across "Eldergut," and leave
the grading for some future time. This
will enable people to cross the lot and
reach the old Marsh Lane without
much trouble.
Council then adjourned to meet on
Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, for the
purpose of specially considering the
question ofpurchasing the water rights
of the south long race.

From the N. Y. World.

From The N. Y. World.
"CoMPRoMIsE TARIFFS" are almost
always weak and foolish. 1t is of course
necessary to consider what is likely to be
enacted, and every tariff-and for that
matter every LAWS SO far a compro-
mise. But to compromise tariff by
"splitting the difference" between two
sets of claimants embitters both, and is
almost sure to defeat itself. The Com
mittee OF Ways and Means has conclud-
ed, it is reported, to "split the difference
in the duties on several articles, and one
of these articles in wood pulp. II is
particularly preposterous to compromise
the duty on wood pulp. Mr.. Warner
Miller, of New York, and Mr.. William
A. Russell, of Massachusetts, are the
only representatives of wood pulp in the
respective firms and for three other
firms which CONTROL patent process for
making wood pulp. Here are five firms
on one side and forty millions of people
on the other. To compromise a differ
ence between them by giving Mr.. War
ner Miller, of New York, and Mr.. Will
liam A. Russell, of Massachusetts, and
the five firms they represent in Congress
half of the matter in dispute and the
forty millions the other half, would be. a
plainly absurd proceeding. The case,
however, is much worse than this. Con
gress never imposed and never meant to
impose dutyon wood pulp. The duty
ON wood pulp was imposed by Trea-
sury decision that Congress had not sue
ceeded in giving effect TO its intention of
of putting wood pulp on the free list.
Congress is now asked, not to repeal a
duty which Congress imposed, but to
correct an oversight by which a duty
was imposed contrary to the intention
of Congress-. This duty thus imposed
has now become burdensome to all the
newspaper owners and will shortly be-
come burdensome to all the newspaper
readers of the United States who are
interested in aholishing ii. Mr.. Warner
Miller, of New York, and Mr.. William
A. Russell, of Massachusetts, and the five
firms which they represent in Congress
are interested in maintaining the duty,
and in preventing the correction OF an
inadvertence by which they are enrich
ed. 1t is hardly credible that the Ways
and Means Committee should be in
doubt what to do, Or that they should
not decide at once that Mr.. Warner
Miller, of New York, and Mr.. William
A. Russell, of Massachusetts, have not
already profited more than enough by a
subsidy which Congress never meant to
give them. Still less is it credible that
the Ways and Means Committee should
gravelyreport 10 favor of compromising"
a case like this, and of allowing Mr..
Warner Miller and Mr.. William A. Rus
sell henceforth to take only half their
previous profits from a mistake of Con-
gress which Congress declines to correct.
1t will be very surprising if the House
does not show sense and honesty enough
promptly to reject the report of the COM
mittee and to put wood pulp on the
free list, which only two dissenting votes
the votes of Mr.. Warner Miller, of
New York, and of Mr.. William A. Rus
sell, of Massachusetts.
