Letter From Rehoboth.
RrHoBoTH, August 2.


Dear Editors Ledger.-The season
here is brilliant, although the guests are
scarce, due mainly TO the cool weather.
The hotels are comfortably filed and do
ing paying busiEes Hotel Henlopen
is the scene of many brilliant and enjoy
able hops. The music is frst-class in
every particular, which is mainly due to
the skill of Prof Ritohie, and the happy
style he always displays in handling an
orchestra. A word just here is not out
of place, think, about the Professor
When he first came here he looked like
he had Just come out Of a hard seasons
work. But now mark the change. AT
this writing he is quietly enjoying the
sea breeze, and we had most forgotten to
mention the other luxury his pipe. He
tells us that he has gained 1S pounds
since his arriyal-a period of about one
month. The other members of the or
chestra look w,ll, and from what VIC
could observe. were having n most de-
lightful season Oft.
Quite a number OF our pretty girls got
''real mad" at certain well known gen
tleman from Wilmington, because he
would persist in playing on the piano at
Hotel Henlopen, on Friday evening last,
when they so much wanted the 'loveiy"
polacca played. They had their revenge
on him for it. A beyy of these same Of
Tended creatures caught this certain
young gentleman on the sands, after he
had left the hotel where they succeeded
in putting him down and the way they
covered that poor fellow with sand, even
ito making a funnel out of the back Of his
collar, was downright fun-to the girls
to the fellow-slightly otherwise.
Another tub race on Lake George is
talked of. Hope it may be, as there is a
t.'ioap' of real genuine fun in contest
of this kind. 1t is not always the fellow
that has the best lead on the start that
wins. He is generally the fellow that
topples over first.
Some have it that Col. Bob mgersoll is
coming here this month, iIut it is only
rumor. Hope it is true, as we want to
go bathing with the genial Robert, so as
to test his aquatic proclivilies.
From indications now the season prom
ises to be short.
You may hear more from me in your
next issue. This week think / am ex-
cusable from the fact that my duties have
been arduous, which consisted in watch
ing my nieces and nephews-and 9th 81
folks nieces and nephews, too-seeing
that they did not stay up at nights toe
late. MR.. BREEZY.

Midnight PrOwlers.


On Saturday night last, after midnight,
some malicious persons began firing
revolver in close proximity to the depot,
nea" this town, and also the residence of
Mr.. John G. Shiveler, 1t could not be
ascertained whether the parties were
white or black, but one of the balls hired,
passed through the bed-ooom window in
which son of Mr.. Shivrler was sleeping
The glass wa scattered over the bed and
the ball lodged on the opposite side OF
the room. This was u narrow escape.
Mr.. $. says this is not the first time that
firing has been indulgcd in by midnight
providers in this vicinity, ard around the
depot. He cannot ac3Junt for such con-
duet. tlc gives warning to those persons
who indulge IN such practise, that he
wishes the nuisance tp abate Al once, on

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The Steam Pump at Chesapeake City
Burned to the ground.

About o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing fire broke out in the building occu-
pied by the large steam pumps. that is
used for pumping water into the canal at
that place. The fire is reported to have
originated in part of the building away
from the boilers. which would seem TO
indicate that 1t was The work of an incen-
diary. The entire building was consumed
together with the machinery with the
single exception Of the large wheel used
in carrying water into the canal. Tho fire
was peculiarly destructive from the fact
that it cuts off the water supply TO the
canal, and it is probable that In conse-
quence Of this the closing of the canal for
a short period will be made necessary
from scarcity of water, unless 1t rains
every day. When the fire was discovered
every effort was made by the citizens of
Chesapeake City to stay the flames. The
chief engineer warned all not to approach
too close TO the burning building on
account Of the two large boilers, which
having high pressure of steam on at the
time tho fire occurred, he was afraid
might explode. Ofcourse all that would
have rushed into the building to have
done what good they could, fell back in
dismay at this warning, for they too well
knew the death dealing powers of explo-
ding boilers.
The Directors of the Canal say that the
misfortune Of having their steam pump
destroyed at this time, falls more heavily
on them than it otherwise would had it
occurred at any other season. They had
been complmenting themselves, just
before this loss came upon them, on the
little expense they would bo at this year
in the way of improvements on the canal,
alas, such prophecies. From what we
have been able to learn, there was NJ
Insurance ON the burned building. Our
Informant also stated to us that the sup
lly of water now on hand, with an occa-
sional rain, would be sufficient to keep
the canal supplied with water for u period
of two weeks. He also said that he
Thought the Company woulu Immediately
relhlild on the old site. If the old walls
are not too badly damaged thoy will
ansker for foundation for the new
bui filing, if not, they will be at once torn
dovp, and every thing will be built new,
entifely, at an expense of about $4,000.

A Heavy loss


On Tuesday night about II o'clock the
large frame mill Gwned and operated by
j. p. Woodward, on the Christiana creek
about two miles south of Newark, was
totally destroyed by fire. The mill had
been run but short time in the after
noon previous to tho fire, and everything
was left in good order. The family had
retired about 0 o'clock. Mrs. Woodward
was awakened by bright light coming
in her bedroom window, and Oh the i'll
stand supposed the barn to be on fire
The inmates of the house were aroused,
and on investigation it was discovered
that the mill was ablaze. The fire had
gained such headway that all efforts
failed to save tho doomed building.
When Mr.. Woodward's two sons arrived
II was found the upper floor was ready
to fall, Several bags of -four were saved
from the burr floor along with chest of
tools. by this time all thought of saving
The burning building was given up, and
the men set at work to save the other
buildings, which they succeeded ID doing.
There can be no cause given as to how
the building caught fire, but it is gener-
ally supposed to have been the work of
an incendiary. While the mill was still
burning they discovered that board had
been knocked off between the water
house and the mill, and it is believed that
some one had been stealing from the
building and had carelessly left light
burning, which caused The destruction of
the mill. This was the third time that
this board has been found off. The build
ing is insured, but we were unable TO as
certain the amount. The machinery is
also insured. The mill had at this time,
perhaps, more grain stored away than at
any period within the the last five years.
1t is estimated that over 1,C00 bushels Of
grain was destroyed. We have been
told that the mill will not be rebuilt. The
two sons of Mr.. W. in their combined
effort in the last two years had worked
up good, paying business and were in
most prosperous condition. The entire
community sympathize with these young
men in the loss they bave sustained.

All the way from Canada.

We had the pleasure of call from
George II. Kennedy of Prince Arthur's
Landing, Ontario, on Tuesday Of this
week. Mr.. Kennedy was called to this
town last week by the sad news of his
mothers death, Mrs. Sybilla A. Kennedy.
Mr.. Kennedy stated to MS that he was
engaged in the tin and hardware bust
ness. IIo leaves for his far-way Northern
home to-day, and will take along with
him his sister, Miss Eva Kennedy. He
further told us that the town in which he
resides is no larger than Newark, and
that it supports two daily newspapers.
This speaks well of the town of Prince
Arthur's Landing. We wish Miss Eva
and Mr.. Kennedy safe and pleasant voy-
age.

We feel confident in saying they possess
some fast ones. Mr.. William Falls of
the Howard House says his iron gray
mare Willow Switch is fast enough for
any he has yet met with, and we don t
know but that Uncle Billie knows Just
what he is saying. His mare shows good
trolting action. Mr.. Manly Drennen of
the Grand Central thinks that his sorrel
mare Flora Swing can't be downed by
any of them on the road Flora is a good
one, and she has II happy style of getting
away fast when when you close up with
her on The road. Mr.. o. p. Clemson of
the FELTON, House is confident that he has
n fast RATHER colt. Oliver generally
knows what he is doing when he buys a
Ii, rse for speed, and he generally has the
gu d luck, combined with Judgment, to
work them up to fast time. Mr.. Il. c..
Collins has a promising young horse, and
from its recent performances, bids fair
to make some fast races this fall. There
are many more, but we will be ,mpellad
to drop the flag and consider them dis.
inced until you hear fro II u again.

We note with interest the Eoery Epen-
ing's horsey talk in last Tuesdays issue.
OF course Wilmington should have n gem
tlcman's driving park one that would be
credit to that rapidly advancing g city,
and one the liberal minded people of that
place should take an active interest in.
Schutzen Park is the place for it. We
believe that Wilmington contains some
excellent horsenesh, but we have no good
/ reason TO think they are as many last
ones as the EUery EUening says. MIR.
James McComb's bay mare FloIa b., is
trot,er in every respect. And so she
ought to be, as he paid fast price for
1 her. We hope she may show her owner
/ and the Wilmington folks still faster
time. Mr.. Tom Fords has good one in
his bay horse Ham. P. Plunkett u Co.,
in their roam horse Criss, have something
10 be proud of in the line of horseflesh.
If Criss is properly handled he will make
his owners smile at the way he will show
up. Big Frank, or moro properly speak
ing, 'Locomotive Frank" has had his
day. In tho past he has won many VIC
tories for hiE owner, Mr.. Peter Pagan.
Now he is good for one heat; af.es that

A laboring man sauntered into q
Woodward Avenue grocery yesterday,
and, after looking around little, he
asked the prices Of sugar, and butter,
and tea and other goods, but without
leaving any order. As he was looking
at some apples in the back end of the
store, boy about twelve years old out
side beckoned to the clerk to come out.
"What do you want of meP" was the
query.
'Is there man in there with an old
black overcoat and a gray hat onp"
yes"
"Does he want to buy anythingr'

A Mouthful OF Money.

Mr.. Nicholas Langdon, a well-known
Eighteenth ward politician, had funny
experience with pet monkey yester-
day. He tells the story as follows.
"Along with two friends went into a
beer saloon on Third Avenue. called
for three beers and placed quarter on
the counter. A monkey was scratching
his ears at the end of the bar and blink
ing his eyes at the boss My friend
turned around to admire several orna-
mental theatrical bills on the walls, and
] joined them. When we were ready to
go said to the saloonkeeper, where's
my changer He said, What changer
| looked at him with surprise and told
him that l had put down quarter on
the counter. The man said / was mis-
taken; but my friends, who saw me put
the money down, told him that / had
tossed twenty-five cents on the bar. The
German was heard to mutter something
abouts 'dead-beats, and was beginning
to get my Irish up. The monkey was
apparently taking in the situation, and
thought his jaws looked little swollen.
III bet that monk took that quarter /
said to myself. Walking up to the ami
Enal just gave him tap behind the ear
and he spilled 80. so in silver change on
the bar: The boss appeared to be dumb
founded, and as we went out he was
heard to remark that he would bet his
life that the bartender John had trained
the monkey and that he must be working
the customers as well as the drawer, but
the combination was spoiled. Nv !.
