why Engineer Melville Left His Home
- Mrs. Melville Committed TO an
Asylum.
Especial dispatch to the Baltimore SUM-
PHILADELPHIA Sept. 1S.-The wife of
Engineer Melville was sent to the insane
asylum at Norristown to-day on the certif-
cate of two physiciens. The story Of the
trouble in the Melville family appears to be
this There has been vein of insanity
about Mrs. Melville for several years. One
of its developments was love for spending
money. When her husband was away she
received half his salary, and during the trip
of the Jeanette he made extra provision
for her. He also left money to pay off
mortgage on his cottage and to pay for his
children's schooling.
Always when he came home she would
upbraid him for not giving her more money.
| This time was no exception, and he found
that the money he had left to pay the mort
gage had also been spent. The netghbors
/ say that Mrs. Melville is addicted to the use
ofliquor. At all events they say that after
the reception on Saturday night she was so
excited with champagne that she pointed
pistol at her husband, and then began up
braiding him about money matters. He
left the house and has been at the CONT
mental Hotel since. The children will re-
main at the Sharon Hill residence under the
care of Engineer Melyille's sister.

THE GERMAN FESTIVAL
THE voLKsFEsT AT THE
sHuETzEN PARK.
AN ADDRESS BY CHARLES B. LORE.
The Importance of q Knowledge Of the
German Language-Festivities at the
Park. 'A5 IS ,Hls.e v4bls,

The German Volksfest at the Scheuzen
Park opened yesterday, as duly announced
in the GAZETTE, and WAS very largely at
tended. The principal feature of the after
noon was a meeting in the dancing pavilion,
at which the principal speaker was Charles
b. Lore, Esq, who made very entertain
ing address
Mr.. Lore said There is no language so
important as that of the German people. 1t
is necessary to American people, because
there Is such large German element among
US. In America we have 5000 600 of Ger
mans, and In Wilmington our German pop
ulation numbers between six and seven
thousand. Sogyou must see that II is well
for them to educate their children In the
German as well as in the English language.
What most like here is that everyone
seems to enjoy himself. You have your
singing and must say that 1t is good
| feature Of affairs of this kind. There is
certain sociability among the German
people that / like. Whenever a German
goes to an affair of this kind he takes his
family-his wife and his children--with
him. He enjoys himself, and think it
would be better for us If there was more of
this hberality OF spirit among our own
people.
The German language, Mr.. Lore said, Is
very much the language of the present day.
| 1t Is the foundation OF our language, to
great extent. You know what Humbolt,
| whose deep researches you have, has done
for German people and German thought,
You have in Goethe aud Schiller the highest
types of German intellect. The German
language is language also for the
American people. 1t would be better
for them If they would study 1t
more. This language, by the way,
my friends, it is well for US to know, not
only for our everyday business, but for our
studies of the arts and sciences. 1t would
be better to drop the studies of Latin and
Greek and grapple with the German Ian
guage.
In conclusion Mr.. Lore strongly favored
the establishment of German English
schools, as the two languages are 80 firmly
connected that 1t Is vastly important for oui
people to understand the German language
and for our German citizens to thoroughly
understand the language of this country
Mr.. Lore's brief address was listened Il
with the closest attention, and was als'
greeted with enthusiastic applause.
After the meeting. the audience dispersed
and enjoyed the varied attractions OF tht
affair until late hour in the evening.
The Volksfest continues to-day, when 6
series of races and other contests will bt
given for the amusement of those in attend
ance.

TWO GIRLS DROWNED.
A Sad Accident i'm the Brandywine a.
DuPOne's Banks.


Yesterday afternoon two little girls-Rose
Ann, aged years, daughter of Patrick
Dougherty, and Annie, aged years, daugh-
ter of William Beatly-living at DuPont,s
Banks, on the Brand1vine, four miles north
of this city, were drowned in that stream.
Between 3 and o'clock they left home and
gradually found their way TO the edge OF
the stream, directly in front Of the homes OF
their parents, who lived in adjoining houses
1t being usual occurrence for them to play
along the creek nothing was thought OF their
being along the water until about O'Clock
when they were suddenly missed. An alarm
was given by the parents, and a hurried and
unsuccessful search made up and down the
bank for the little ones.
A dragging party was formed and the
work of searching the bottom of the stream
commenced. At 9 o'clock the body of Rosie
was brought to the surface and at O'Clock
this morning that of Annie was found in four
feet of water.

known, but it is thought the children, while
wading in the shallow water, suddenly got
beyond their death and becomiL & frightened
seized each other and were thus drowned.
The Coroner will investigate the matter to-
day,

To-day the laying OF track for the further

will be built TO an intersection with the

TO be a strong possibility that this

be extended TO the town of Alexandria, in

PALESTINE, October 5.-The international
yard here had very narrow escape from q
serious conilagration last night, Fire broke
out amongst the cotton cars stored in the
yard, and about 10 O'Clock at night the fire
alarm bell brought the liremen to the res
cue. 1t was onlyby the NEST energetic and
well-managed control that the liremen were
enabled, after hard struggle, to Confine
the fire within the limits OF one car, and
then finally to drown it out. The new fire
company, formed a.Iew weeks since among
the employees of the International shops,
were given their first experience, and nc.
quilted themselves nobly.
