A STRISaENcY IN THE MONEY MAR.
KET.-lt seems to be rather strange
that there should be stringeney in
the money market at this time, after
we have received an addition to our
paper circulation OF some four or five
hundred million dollars in gold, yet
this is the report that comes from the
great commercial centres although the
statements of the banks show that
they have immense sums on deposit.
The Ledger says "rhe money mar

change, and the rate of interest ruled

TEE DELAWARE Republican excel

THE DELAWARE Republican excels
all other party papers that we have
seen in its abuse of Mr.. Bayard and
the Democratic party. Criticism is
one thing, but abuse is another. And
when language is used that SO utterly
avoids the truth as that used by the
Republican it should not be allowed to
60 uncorrected. We do not seek con-
troversy with that paper; and we
copy part of its language and rebut
it with the language used by the New
York Times, a paper that ranks high
in the country for ability and for it's
great value as o news caterer.
We cannot see why the Repubi.
can takes 50 much trouble to Islander
Senator Bayard and the Democratic
party for their course in the election
Of President of the Senate. Mr..
Bayard is Delawarean, and his eleva-
tion to the second Office in the nation
should be held by the people of his
State as an honor to it and to them
and tn Dir children. No other Della
vatican ever held the position, and
although number have been held to
be equally worthy. We are sure the
Republican cannot mean all it says,
and must be led to indulge in its
va9aries only to please the appetite
OF the lowest grade of parlisans whom
it labors to keep supplied with false
and ridiculous arguments, that such
papers as the New York Times and
Philadelphia Telegraph, or such indie
pendent papers rs the N. Y. Herald
would discountenance. The latter
says: "
There was no course open to them
but the one pursued, for If it had been
conceded that the Senate should ad.
init before the choice of President
pro tenn. the recently elected Senators,
the credentials of at least two of them |
would have been objected to and they
would have been excluded for another |
reason than the one acted upon. Mr..
Edmnnds urged the admission of the
new Senators, but practically admitted
That there was no argument in their
favor. lie called the vacant position
"a prize won IN the lottery OF assassi-
and when gentleman rests
his case in any degree whatever upon
language of that sort he seems to adj
init that he has no reasons, good, bad
or indifferent, to present. How the
choice of president pro tam. was re-
lated to the assination of Mr.. Garfield
no rational person can see, for though
that tragedy caused the Senate 10
meet earlier than usual this election
would have been its first duty at
whatever time it might come together.
Mr.. Bayard's words upon taking his
seat are in admirable contrast with
the tone of the republican champion.

Freaks of Lightning.

Lightning struck book in the pocket
of John b. Junek, of Refugio, Texas,
and tore its pages in singularly irregu-
lar manner. Junek was knocked sense
less.
William Alsford and his son-in-law,
Norton Orr, of East Hannibal, Mo-,
were struck by a bolt and the former
was killed. Orr will be totally deaf the
rest of his days.
AtSpringield, Mass, lightning ripped
up the floors of the house of Morris
A. Cooley, tore out the ceilings, put out
the lights, and created general shak-
ing up. None of the inmates was hurt.
Lightning struck a cherry tree in the
court yard of n. H. McCracken, of Full
ton, n. Y, and killed the canary in the
cage that Mrs. McCracken was holding
in her hand. Mrs. McCracken was not
hurt.
Thehome of Mrs. Catharine Welch,
of Kit cry, Me-, was completely wrecked
by lightning. Mrs. Welch son was
hurled from his bed against the wall,
and Mrs. Welch herself was stunned.
At Harrodsburg, KY, lightning shat
tered every window pane in the house
of Isaac Terhune, and demolished q
tree measu ring thirty inches socom-
pletely that large pieces of wood were
thrown 100 feet and the trunk split into
ordinary cord wood.
A policeman in the Central police sta
tion of Philadelphia had Just finished
combing and dressing his hair in re-
cent thunderstorm when the electricity
soon unmade it by drawing every hair
on end so that it looked as if ruff1ed by
a rake, but his body suffered no injury.
In recent storm in Philadelphia a
ball of white fire resembling a flicker
ing electric light was visible on the very
top of a tall telegraph pole on Fourth
street, below Chestnut. In a few sec
onds it darted among one of the wires
and was lost in the darkness. Another
and another followed in rapid success
sion until the wire resembled string
of dancing red hot balls.
lightning did terrible work at Cedar
town, Ga, recently. In a double log
house occupied by a family named
Prince and another named Brazier, the
bolt entered the roof and struck dead
Mrs. Brazier, who was standing by the
fire roasting coffee. Her neck was bro
ken and her head split open 10y a piece
of the mantel that was torn off by the
lightning and hurled at her with terrific
force. Mr.. Powell, who was holding
Mrs. Blazier's infant, was knocked
senseless. JEFF Vancy, who was in the
same room, was struck dead. Mrs.
Prince, who stood in the hallway be-
tween the two rooms, was instantly
killed, and hole was made in the floor
under her feet as if a rifle ball had
pierced it.

token of having received his spiritual
VOWS of devotion.
The day came and the splendid equip
age of the countess dashed into the
square of the Santa Maria, with a yelled
bride and cold bridegroom, and de-
posted them at the steps of the church.
They were followed by other coro-
neted equipages, and gayly dressed peo-
pie dismounted from each-the mother
and sisters of the bridegroom, gayly
dressed, among them, but looking pale
with incertitude and dread.
The yelled bride was small, but she
moved gracefully up the aisle, and met
her future husband at the altar with a
low courtesy, and made q sign to the
priest to proceed with the ceremony.
Mcdonald was colorless but firm, and
indeed showed but little interest, ex-
cept by an anxious look now and then
among the crowd of spectators at the
sides of the altar. He pronounced his
VOWS with steady voice, but when the
ring was to be put on he looked around
for an instant, and then suddenly, and
to the great scandal of all present,
clasped his bride with passionate eiacu-
lation to his bosom. The carnelian ring
was on her finger-and the Countess
Nyschriem and Mademoiselle Folie-

This curious event happened in Flor
ence some years since-as all people
then there will remember-and it was
prophesied of the countess that she
would have but a short lease of her
handsome and gay husband. But time

titled wife, and one more continuously
in love, does not travel and buy pic

How to Gain Health.

and misery to her family and friends,
and subject of unlimited expense to

SnOWballiug a Fire.

In some "reminiscences of Montreal,
given in the Star of that city, we find
the following: One morning in January,
1926, after heavy fall of damp snow
the day before, a fire broke out in a
large wooden warehouse at Point a Cal
liere, occupied by D. w. Eager, in
which were stored 600 barrels of pork
and several hundred barrels of flour. 1t
evidently caught near the top, for in q
few minutes the roof of the building,
which was of great length, was almost
wreathed in smoke and flames, while
the walls remained intact. A large
crowd of men and boys rapidly col.
lected until nearly 500 were present, but
the engine for some reason not arriving,
and the river, the only source of water
supply, being covered with thick ice,
and above all the crowd being without
a leader and utterly confused, nothing
of importance was done to stop the fire,
and the building seemed doomed to
complete destruction. Just as this idea
had settled into a conviction in the
minds of those present, Henry Corse
came rushing over to the scene from his
factory, shouting at the top of his voice;
What are you thinking Of,
men? Why don't you SNOWFALL
that fire out ?" and suiting the
action to the word he caught up a
handful Of the damp snow and flung it
upward. The crowd caught the idea on
the instant, as all they wanted was a
leader, and, making a solid rush for
ward, they caught up the snow at their
feet, and moment later thousand
snowballs were mounting freward and
falling with hiss on the blazing tim
bers. Never was such sight seen be-
fore the immense crowd surrounded
and stormed the fre-fend with will,
cheering and shouting in their excite
ment; the snow-missiles flew upward
thicker than hail falls in December;
the great snow fight of Napoleon and
his fellows at Brienne school was moth
ing in comparison to it. Almost after
the first half-dozen volleys the fire
seemed to pause as if astonished at the
novel mode of attack; before it could
recover another and another storm of
balls fell upon it until beaten and bat
tered down at one point and flaming
out at another, assailed by a moving
wall of icy missiles wherever it burst
out with renewed violence, in an hours
time it was completely baffied and under
control, and in another hour entirely
subdued. The only loss to the build
ing was its roof, badly burned, while
the stores of pork and flour inside were
comparatively undamaged. The crowd
dispersed in the highest good spirits,
and the affair was talked of and laughed
over for many day afterward.
