A Andden HkOn.

About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the entire machinery at the Arlington
Mills came to q sudden stop. This sud
den stoppage was caused by the giving
way of the piston head of the large
Corliss steam engine. The accident
caused crash which was heard some
distance away. The steam rushed
through the exhaust pipe and threw
pieces of the broken piston head out of
the top of the stack. The loud Kissing
noise of the steam led many to suppose
that an explosion had taken place. In
consequence of the accident, further
operations will be suspended until

WON'TBE A sACKIFIUE.
Hon. ]. TurDln Moore refuses 10
! =. Ao Democratic Candidate
for Governor.

For some time past, especially since
there was prospect Of the Republicans
carrying the State rumOrs filled the air
of the intention of j. Turpin Moore
withdrawing as candidate for the
democratic nomination for Governor
of the State. Every effort was made to
stiften his backbone for the fight bus
without avail. Democratic devotion,
with that in view, at the Camden Camp
Meeting and devout pilgrimages bis
home in Laurel have all failed, and to
prevent the Democrats from going to
futher tronble on his account he sent to
the Gazette yesterday the following
card of withdrawal:
To the Democrats of Delaware: 1t
would be afectation in me to pretend
ignorance Of the fact that have been
mentioned as a possible nominee of
the Democratic Convention soon to as
ssmble, for the Office of Governor of
this State. Permit me to say that |
am not insensible to the compliment
which such nomination would be to
any member of the party upon whom
1t should be freely and voluntarily con-
fered, nor to the high honor which an
election to 30 important and digniied
an Office as Governor of a sovereign
State wonld be to any man.
In my Judgment it is an office which
should not be personally sought nor
inconsiderately declined when freely
offered by the uubiased suffrage of the
people. The office should seek the man
and no man should seek the Office or
nomination for the office. l have not
sought the nomination and l do not
desire the office.
1 therefore consider it due TO you and
to myself to make known to yo1 before
the day appointed for the selection of
delegates to the State Convention, that
do not wish my name to be presented
to the convention for nomination as
candidate for the Office of Governor of
this State. l assure 10y friends through
out the State who may have regarded
my possible nomination with favor that
l am deeply grateful to them for their
kind wishes and proposed friendly off
ces in my behalf, and also assure my
fellow Democrats OF Delaware that it is
not any want of interest in the success
of the Democratic party at the coming
election that has caused me to make
this announcement. My sincere desire
for the success of the Democratic princi-
Piles and Democratic nominations has
not in the least abated, and this shall
be manifested not in word only, but in
every honorable effort | can make to
render success certain. A candidate
for Office cannot be, but a Democrat l
am and ever expect to be.

At precisely at $50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, the doors of the new station
OF the Philadelphia, Wilmington &
Baltimore Railroad Company, were
thrown open to the public by Detective
Jones, who had instructions to that ef-
feet. Immediately after the doors
we're opeCed the interior was viewed by
a number OF persons who were waiting
for the opportunity. The station is the
finest along the line of the road between
Philadelphia and Baltimore. A full
description of the same has already ap-
peared in the columns of the REPUBLI-
CAN. Shortly after the place was
thrown open ticket agents Springer
and Smyth were presented with hand
some bouquets, made by Charles E.
Sparks, with the compliments of Mr..
Thomas johnson, of the Harlan & Hol-
lingsworth Company. A large bouquet
adorned the mantel piece in the ladies
room and in the restaurant each table
was supplied with flowers.
In honor of the event of the opening,
the entire building was illuminated
last night and was visited by hundreds
of citizens who were all we'll pleased
with its appearance. On the first floor
il the ladies' and gentlemen's waiting
rooms. The latter contains the ticket
office and telegraph department. The
restaurant is in au adjoining room and
will be conducted by VIM. II. Thomp-
SOD, the proprietor of the old one. The
building presents fine appearan 30
and is complete in all its departments.
The floors on the first story are compo-
sed Of tiles and the furniture is Of the
latest pattern. Concealed in the wall |
with an ornamental slab in front is
tank containing ice water which is
supplied to passengers through silver
spigots and mugs. One OF the interest,"
ing features of the ladies room Is the
historic table on which the remains of
Pres dent Lincoln were carried from
Washington to Springfield, Ill.
All the effects in the old depot were
'emoved before 5 o'clock and workmen
we're at work till dark demElishing the
I'D structure, the work of which will

lous signs in the new station is one for
bidding gentlemen to smoke in the
main waiting room on account of its
lose proximity to the ladies room.

Enenr warfare Is accomplished, >

was the touching inscription placed
upon the tombstone of a husband and
wife. There is nothing which so sours
a man, and induces domestic warfare
as i'll health; and especially weakness
in the back, loss of physical power, an
early breaking down of body, render.
ing one unfit to attend TO his business.
Then cares and anxieties multiply, the
temper becomes rutfled, and peace flies
out Of the window. Behold the great
restorer, Hunts Remedy! Quietly it
comes to the mans relief. One bottle
searches ou5 the disease, and begins its
cure. Two or three more take on the
good work, and finish it satisfactorily.
The kidneys are healed and restored 60
their proper functions, the weakness is
gone, the back is renewed, the bloom OF
health returns, and all the old-time
mental viRor in ones business affairs
and there is no sour temper, but lasting
peace. All hail to Hunts Remedy.

thrown fiat on his back, and boxes

one box being brokeJ by the fall. and
a $1,000 bill burned. The affair created
some excitement for the time being.
