there had been want of accord between the

EXPLOSION OF ALCOHOL.

At Danforth's drug store, Second and
Market streets, about four o'clock,
yesterday afternoon, a clerk and the COL
ored porter went down into the cellar
for the purpose of drawing some alcho-
hol. II being dark they took light,
which caused the fumes OF the alcohol to
ignite, when terrible explosion instant
ly ensued. The CLERK and porter were
thrown back several feet, and came rush
ing up the stairs with scorche1 hands
and slnged hair, though fortunately they
were only slightly burned. The alarm
of fire was at once given and in minute
or two plug stream from the Fame Hose
was really for service. Then came q
brief halt. 1t was known that more
alcohol and several carboys of vitrol
were in the cellar, and the prospect of
venturing close to a fire likely to be fed
by these explosive materials was not
very inviting. Finally Thomas Burke,
a Second street market butcher, seized
the branch pipe, and bra7ely plunging
into the cellar effectively applied the
water until the fire was extinguished.
Beyond the barrel of alchohol, the loss
by fire was inconsiderable.
John Blake,a colored porter, was very
badly burned on the left arm and side.
The clerk escaped unhurt.

"CLosE CORPORATION" WITH $lO,-
100000 CAPITAL.
Some inquiry was made yesterday in
Wall street and about the Mining Ex-
change whether General Grant was or
was not to accept the Presidencyof the San
Pedro and Canon di Lagua Mining
Company of New Mexico. Mr.. G, W.
Ballou, of No. 10 wall street, who is
the New York agent for the mining
company, said that he had been with
General Grant on he mining grounds
of the company within fortnight, and
had arranged with him then for his ac-
ceptance Of the Presidency of the COM
pany. Mr. Ballou added:-"I came
East and carried out my part OF the
arrangement by having him elected
President of the company, sent him a
telegram to Colorado, where he now is,
announcing his election, and received
an acknowledgment from him in return.
He will surely enter upon the duties OF
tho office, and will be in this city in
abou. six weeks. ae will probably
bring his family here. He made very
thorough inspection of the mine, and he
possesses very wide and through know
ledge of mining engineering. He made
inquiry about the company, and found
that it was made up of New York and
Boston capitalists. E. w. Stoughton is
one OF them. The company is a close
corporation, and none of the stock has
been or is to be marketed. The mining
property cost $l,oOo,oOO,and the San
Pedro Company was organized in Jsnu-
airy last with a capital of 10000, 900.
The lands are about thlrty-five miles
south of Santa Fe. Years ago they were
worked by Mexicans, in addition to
large copper mines, there were about O.
600 acres of gold placer ground, and
to work this viaduct for water would
need to be built to the mountains, fifteen
miles away. There are now 20,OOO
tons of copper ore in sight, and 1t is es-
timated that the placer gravel when
working will yield $1,000 a day."
Mr.. Jesse r. Grant said yesterday
that he had no information ofhis fathers
iltentions in regard to the Presidency
| of the company.

ARunaway Team.

This morning shortly before 8 O'Clock
double team belonging ::to Randolph
Peters, ran away while being driven up
Fourth street.
A colored man who was driving them
'mmenced whipping them when near
Poplar street, and by some means the
rod which holds up the tongue came
out, and the tongue dropped. This
frightened the animals and they started
up the street on full run when near
French street, officer Thomas, ran out
into the street and caught one OF the
horses by the bride, but he was unable
to stop them but succeeded in checking
their speed. When the officer .caught at
the horses, they swerved to one side,a
one of them ran into a wheelbarrow
containing garbage. This had the effect
Of stopping them. No damage was

LETTER FROM BLACKBIRD.
Correspondence OF the Gazette.

BLAcKBIRD, Del, July 81.
Blackbird has been the recipient of
bountiful showers of rain during the
past week, and as natural result the
atmosphere is most exhilarating, the
thermometer, as general thing, stand
ing between 70 and 80 degrees.
Blackblrd farmers will have boun-
tiful crop of corn the coming fall, the
present season having been one of the
most propitious. For several years,
the loss of the first cutting Of clover
will be fully made up with corn fodder
and consequently, those who have been
holding their hay and asking q most
exhorbitant price for it will be disap-
pointed badly.
The Road Commissioners are i'm
proving our roads wonderfully with
the patent scraper, it performing the
labor of thirty men after the ground is
ploughed, saving both labor and
money.
As the section men were returning
from work this evening, John T. Al
free, one of the hands, was caught by
the crank of the hand car, and but for
the presence of mind of fellow labor
or, s. Rose, who caught him as he was
thrown, would have been seriously if
not fatally injured.

ANOTHER LONG FAST.

DELAWARE CITY LADY EXISTS FOR
THIRTY-sIx DAYS WITHOUT FOOD.
Miss Elizabeth Belville, of Delaware
City, this county, died on Sunday
evening last, and the remarkable event
connected with her demise was that
she had taken no food of any kind for
thirty-six days previous.
Miss Belville's long fast, however,
was not voluntary but enforced. She
had been an invalid for several years
and during last winter her illness took
an alarming and unexpected phase.
During the latter part of January she
became so affected as to be unable to
retain any substantial food on her
stomach with the exception of oysters,
and of these she could partake of but
about half dozen in twenty-four
hours. In this condition she remain
ed until the first week in June, when
the became unable to retain the oys-
ters, and for two weeks subsisted en-
tirely upon currant water, and occa-
sionally little light cruel. She con-
tinued in this state up to June 10th
after which time not morsel of food
was taken. Beef tea and other like
articles of diet were prepared but she
was utterly unable to retain any of
them on her stomach and derive the
slightest nourishment. During her
enforced fast, small pills of morphine
were administered in order to allevi-
ate her sufferings, which were at times
intense.
A strange circumstance connected
with this case was that during her
long fast the lady lost only about
twenty pounds in flesh, her weight be-
fore her illness being about ITO pounds.
Her features after death were natu-
raj, and her general appearance bore
no indication of the long and severe
fast which she had undergone. The
peculiar symptoms Of the case have
excited such interest that DIR. Frank
Belville, who was her physician, will
probably prepare paper in which
will be given details that will be of
very great interest to the medical pro-
fession.
DR.. Bellville was nephew of his
patient. The latter was about fifty
two years of age, and lady of estima-
BILE character. Her sad condition ex-
cited the deepest sympathy through
out the neighborhood.

WILMINGTON. DEL. WEDNESDAY, JULY %. 1880.
Advanced Civilization. +"

WHAT 1T HAS DONE FOR PENN.
sYLvANIA-A MANLY DEFENSE
OF DELAWARE.
In recent issue of the Phila.
delphia North american, an editorial
appeared declaring that Delaware
had failed to increase in population
30 rapidly as other States, because
this State has followed the fortunes
of the Democratic party" To this
the Dela,0arean makes the following
response:
Philadelphia has adhered so per-
sistently to the advanced civiliza-
ton" of radicalism that it is bur-
dened with an enormous municipal
debt, and rate of taxation which
has driven some of her enterprising
citizens into Delaware to escape
oppression and find protection for
their property under the fortunes
OF the Democratic party of Della
ware. The Messrs. Taskers, at New
Castle, and others have been COM
PEELED to remove their large opera
tions into this State to avoid the bur-
dens imposed by the advanced
civilization" of radicalism in Phila-
delphia. The advanced civilization
which the North american would
have the people of Delaware accept
has been fully illustrated in Penn
sylvania. Illustrated in the repeat
ed corruptions of her legislation, in
the jobbing and thieving which has
robbed her treasury, in the manage
ment of the municipal affairs of her
principal city, in the crimes which
occupy her criminal courts, her cor
rupted juries, her unpunished crimi-
nails, and the facility with which
offenders of high social standing and
political influence can obtain i'm
munity through executive clemency.
We want none of this kind of "advanc-
ed civilization" but prefer to follow the
"fortunes of the Democratic party" and
share in the blessings of the honest
government and pure public morality
which it insures. And now we will say
that, while our population has not in
creased in the same ratio that has obtain
ed in some other places, the increase has
been fully equal to that in the rural
sections of most of the older States, and
greater than in many portions of Penn
sylvania. Our manufacturing interest
has been and is likely hereafter to be
confined principally to the city of Will
mington and vicinity, and we risk moth
ing in saying that it will compare favor
ably in the skill, enterprise and intelli-
gence displayed, in its management as
we'll as in its remunerating results, with
the manufacturing interests of any other
section of the couDtry-not so varied or
extensive perhaps, but fully equal in all
other respects. Our population is largely
homogeneous, and we are not sure that
we should bel benefited by an influx of
. disorderly and socialistic element from
Pennsylvania or elsewhere. We have
never yet had to call upon the federal
authorities to protect us from mobs, or
tried to corrupt the legislature OF the
State.to pay for injuries which they had
done to private property. Can the North
american say as much for Pennsylvania
with her "advanced civilization" under
Republican rule.
