A terrible calamity occurred at North
Point, Tivoli, an excursion resort on the
Patapsco, ten miles from Baltimore.
about 10 o'clock one night last week, by
which many lives were lost, the number
being estimated at between sixty and
seventy. The accident was occasioned
by the giving way of the outer portion
of pier on which several hundred per-
sons were congregated awaiting the boat.
During the day the boat had taken down
about 500 persons, and on her last trip
about 100. A large number of those who
went down during the day had remained,
intending to return ON the last trip.
When the barge approached, all those
on shore made a rush for the end of the
wharf, which is several hundred feet
long, and were closely packed together
at gate about 25 feet from the end, i'm
patiently awaiting admittance through
the gate. AS the barge came along side
and struck the wharf, it suddenly and
without warning gave way, and large
portion o&the crowd were precipitated
into the water, which is about ten feet
deep. mon1 >~era able to save them

Owing to the darkness, confusion and

rescue the drowning, most of whom were

SWEET POTATO BLOSSOM

Says the Woodbury. Liberal Press:
probably few persons in this latitude
have ever seen sweet potato blossom.
Reports of a blossom here and there
have sometimes been heard, but is is
very rare for the ordinary varieties of
sweet potatoes this far north. Conse-
quently to see patch of several thou
sand blossoming in profusion, so that
in the morning it looks like a bed of
morning glories, is curiosity This
sight can be seen ON the farm of George
w. Gardiner, just east of Westville, on
Timber creek. The blossom resembles
that of a wild swret potato, which is
common in the country. The flowers
close during the forenoon, and can only
be seen at their best early in the morn
ing after a refreshing shower. This va
riety of sweet potato has been known
for some time in the vicinity of Perkin-
town and Pedricktown, and has re-
ceived some mention through the paper.
1t is said to have originated on the farm
| of a man named Straughn, who, crossing
his patch one day saw vine in blossom,
and burying it SO that it took root, sue
| ceed in getting few small potatoes,
which he took for seed the next season.
The plants thus produced blossomed
abundantly, and the popularity has
been steadily transmitted"

JOHN WANAMAKER'S PROFITS. "A
gentleman who conspicuously figures on
the business staff of Mr.. John Wanna
maker, few evenings ago, said that
Mr.. WIS business last year exceeded
$40, 600, 900, of which sum one-tenth, or
one million, was net profits Out of this
sum he has this year expended over
$4,000 for advertising, which amount,
while being large, was not as much as
that which he expended years ago when
his business was much less extensive.
In his Grand Depot his business is di-
vided into forty-two separate and dis
tinct departments or stores, so to speak.
Dividing the sum of 100000 for adver-
tising among these departments, which
are replete in every particular, the
amount credited to each one assumes a
very small proportion to that spent an
nually by merchants whose business
about represent that of a single depart
ment in MIR. Wanamaker's Grand Depot,
and thus it is shown that Mr.. WIS ex-
penses are not as great proportionately
and comparatively as many others who
are engaged in similar business on a
smaller scale. He has in his employ
over $500 persons, 1000 of which number
are centred in the Grand Depot.

A PREsENTIMENT.

Writing of the little folks reminds me
OF strange and sad event of last week.
Two little boys had been living here, at
the Patton House, named Johnnie
White and tJoe" Patton. Their mothers
are sisters, and there is a third sister
who also has son, and the three boys
were all born the same month, and were
brought up like triplets; and every Sum-
mer of their lives until this they have
spent at Atlantic City together. But
this year the third cousin stayed in
Philadelphia. Well, last Wednesday
night Mr.. and Mrs. Patton were reused
by a strange noise in the next room to
theirs, where the two boys slept. Going
in they found "Joe" struggling with his
arms as though trying to swim, and cry
ing, Help! Helpl' He was fast asleep
and dreaming. They walked him, but
as soon as he fell asleep again the dream
and struggles and cries for help returned.
The other boy slept quietly. Mrs. Pat
ton, who is of a nervous temperament,
was so alarmed that she did not dare to
go to sleep again, and sat up all night
watching the boys painful struggles.
Next morning, fearing something terri
BILE would happen, she would not let the
boys go to the beach, or go out of her
sight. But in the course of the forenoon,
while she was busy, they slipped away.
An hour later policeman came to the
house with the news that they had both
been drowned, and Mrs. Patton, crying
out, 'The dream! the dream!' sank
fainting to the fioor.-Atlantic City Cor

JERSEY PRoDUcrs IN PH1LApELpH1A.

JERSEY PRODUCTS IN PHILADELPHIA.
The produce men are enjoying their
busy season, and vegetables are a glut.
The arrivals of tomatoes from jersey
have been SO great during the past weol.
that it has been difficult to dispose of
them at profit. Good ones could be
purchased from eight to eighteen cents
a basket, and few buyers could be found
even at these prices. The canneries
have come to the aid of the trade during
the past few days, and have relieved the
overstocked market, making prices
firmer. They are now taxing their facili
ties to the utmost, and the indications
are that there will be full supply of
canned tomatoes during the Winter. In
consequence of the scarcity and conse-
quent high price of peas, the amount
canned this year was below the average,
and it is expected that they will COM
mand good prices. Potatoes are arriv-
ing very fast, and many dealers report
that they are receiving more than they
can handle. Good ones sell for about
$1.25, which is from So to So barrel
lower than they were at this time last
year. Jersey cantaloupes and water
melons are coming in large quantities
now. The former command from twen-
ty-five to sixty five cents basket, while
watermelons bring from $16 to $25 a
hundred. New Jersey sweet potatoes
are also beginning to arrive, and COM
mand about $2.25 a basket.

The Cape May county Gazette tells this
story: Harry G. Sutton. conductor on
the Anglesea Railroad, was untilrecently
the owner of large plaster egg, which
he used to decoy the genuine hen fruit
to the nest. He recently missed the egg
and not until he killed huge black
snake few days later did he know
what had become of it. 1t was found
in the interior of his snakeship's body
A correspondent of the Star of the Cape
sends this: Henry Marshall killed a
large black snake last Sabbath morning
In his chicken yard. One part of the
snake he observed was very large, and
thinking that the reptile might have
swallowed one of his small chickens. cut
it open and disclosed three glass nest
eggs, which belonged to the nests in one
of the coops."

One day last week, VIM. Horner, Jr. :,
son of William Horner, at Mullica Hill,
was riding horse to work on the farm,
when the animal became frightened at
the water keg which young Horner was
carrying, and jumped so as to throw him
from his seat. In falling one foot was
caught in the rope lines done up in the
usual way on the harness, and as the
horse ran around the pasture field in
which the accident happened, Horner
was dragged by the leg, his shoulders
and head only resting upon the ground.
The horse kicked him once, but without
much injury, and though badly scraped
and bruised he was not hnrt SO as to lose
consciousness, and actually succeeded
after awhile in quieting the horse so
that he could pull himself up and take it
by the bride, and finally free himself.

oMErEpE,s VOLCANO.

During the past three or four months
the extinct volcano of Ometepe has given
signs that it was about to burst into
activity. Smoke, flames, ashes, pumice
stone, small lava flows, and all the ac-
cessories which mark complete vol
canic outlet have been seen. On June
10th, for the first time, the lava streamed
from the new crater and ran in the di-
rection of Las Pilas, but until the 22d it
had not reached the main road to Sina-
capa. On the night of the Goth, the
sides of the mountain were alive with
fire as the lava poured down, sweeping
with it trees, rocks, and earth, while the
continued bellowings of the volcano
struck terror into the hearts of all who
heard them. On the 23d the whole island
was continually quaking, many Of the
inhabitants fled, and the authorities
commenced preparations for the removal
of every one from the island. On the
24th, the lava bed had covered up the
road, and the two young men who had
gone with others to watch the flow had
been buried under it. The lava con-
tinued to pour out in an almost unin-
terrupted stream, but up to the 25th of
June it had not reached the shore. On
the Goth, panic set in among the popu-
lace, caused by the prolonged and in
cessant rumblings, the torrents of lava
and the clouds of ashes and dirt which
continually issued from the mountain
In consequence, schooners and boats
were sent to the island to transport the
people to Granada, Rivas, and other
cities.
The lava flow on Thursday, the Goth,
took new direction, and, pouring down
within mile of the town, cut off com
munication with the farms and pastures
upon which the islanders depend for
their living. On the 27th and 2Sth the
eruptions were horrible in their intensity,
and led to the few remaining people flee
ing to the mainland. Boiling lava and
mud and ashes and rocks now cover the
sides of the mountain and the pleasant
slopes which have been cultivated for
race which inhabited the island. The
view of the volcano when in eruption is
said to be one of surprising grandeur.
Clouds of smoke sweep upward, through
them flash glittering masses of burning,
half-molten rocks, which shatter into a
thousand fragments on coming into con-
tact with the cold air, while underneath
there swells bubbles, and throbs the
ever-surging mass of red-hot lava des-
tined to carry ruin to the villagers who
have hitherto lived on the fianks of the
volcano. Although the ground is in a
continual tremor, no earthquakes have
been experienced, and the clouds of
ashes which constantly rise do not trou-
BILE visitors to the island. The strong
winds sweep them over to Rivas, where
landowners ere becoming alarmed at the
prospect of their crops being damaged

Thirty-six italian bootblacks were ar
rested at Atlantic City on Thursday
under the provisions of special law

eighteen years shall be allowed to black

boys, whose ages range from five to sew
enteen years, pay a license of $5 each to

There are two or three men running
around through Cumberland County

Lewis Stanaback, aged % years, was
crushed to death in a mine at Franklin
Furnace, Sussex county, few days
since. With four other men he was pre-

were standing on a platform near the
surface, when one of the men noticed
the earth moving, and gave the alarm.
Two of them succeeded in getting back
out of danger, but Stanaback and a
companion were caught by the mass OF
falling rock and earth and carried to the
bottom of the mine, distance of sixty
feet. Stanaback died few minutes
after he was rescued, and his companion,
whose name is not given, is SO badly in

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT

terrible accident occurred on the
Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburp Rail
road, at Carlyon Station, N. Y. about
9.3O Saturday night, by which seventeen
persons were killed and thirty wounded.
The train, a double-header, was excur-
sion No. So, and bound for Clayton with
Thousand Island tourists, mostly from
Michigan, came in collision with a
freight car which had been blown off a
siding to the main track. The train vas
behind time and at the time of the col
iislon was running at the rate of forty
miles an hour. The wind was blowing
gale. The collision threw one of the
engines on it's end and the other one
into the ditch. The baggage car and
two OF the sleepers were completely de-
molished. Cars were piled upon each
other until it was one vast heap of ruins.
AT the time heavy thunder shower was
passing over and the night was dark.
The cries and shrieks of the dying and
wounded were terrible indeed. The
crash was heard three miles away. The
country is but thinly settled, and it was
some time before assistance could be
obtained The Coroner, Dr. Cochrane,
Albion, was sent for, and the work of
recovering the bodies commenced.
The engineer, fireman and train dis
patcher of the first engine escaped, al
though all were injured. Those of the
injured that could travel were placed in
a sleeper and taken to the falls, while
the rest were taken to the neighboring
houses and cared for One man who
lives but few rods from the wreck had
driven his son to Lyndonville, distance
of three miles, to take the train, and
got home just in time to find him
corpse. Passengers who arrived on
train from Carlyon were unable to give
anything but fragmentary statements
of the accident there. They stated that
the number killed was twenty-five
eighteen passengers and four train men.

A special despatch from Lampasas
Texas, says q carriage containing the
skeletons of three adults and two chill
dren, sitting bolt upright as if in life
under a large tree has been found near
a road in Llano county. The tree was
shattered by lightning. 1t is supposed
the carriage sought shelter under the
tree, and was struck, the bolt killing
the inmates and the horses. The wealth
er-beaten condition of the carriage and
its trimmings indicate that the event
happened a year or two ago. In a small
trunk was a letter addressed to "James
6. Chamberlain, London, Eng" The
remains were found by a rancllman
driving cattle and the discovery was re-
ported at once to the authorities. The
parties are supposed to have been tour
lists. The spot where they were found
is very secluded and far from any habi-
tation.

DEATH OF MONTGOMERY BLAIR.

Montgomery Blair died on Friday
last, at Silver Springs, Md, near Wash
ington, at the age of 10. He had been
suffering for several months from in
flammation of the spine, and several
weeks ago was removed to his Maryland
residence, where he at first seemed to
rally. Mr.. Blair was born in Kentucky.
In 1885 he was graduated at the Military
Academy, at West Point, ranking well
in a class of fifty-six. After seeing mill
tary service in the Seminole war, he re-
signed from the army and took up the
practice of law at st. Louis. In 1889 he
was made United States District Attor-
ney for Missouri, and three years later
became Mayor of st. Louis. Subse-
quently he became judge of the Court
OF Common Pleas, which position he
held for number of years. In 1862 he
took up his residence in Maryland Here
he left the Democratic ranks to take up
the political fortunes of the Republi-
cans. Upon the election of President
Lincoln, Mr.. Blair became Postmaster
General, and served in that capacity
until his resignation was requested in
the Fall of 1864. At the close of the
war he again changed his political faith.
His life from that time was series OF
political disappointments. Not having
amassed a fortune, he remained an active
practitioner at the bar until his health
broke down under his weight of years
His funeral took place on Monday after
noon from Rock Creek Church, and his
remains were placed in the family vault
in Rock Creek Cemetery. AS mark OF
respect the Post Office Department
building at Washington was closed on
the day of the funeral, and will be
draped in mourning for thirty days.
