Accidents.

John Tucker, while at work ut the
stave cutter on Friday at the Mustard
basket mill, in taking out Il block, fell
with his arm against the knives cutting
it smartly.
On Friday evening last, Mariner, a
three year old son of JOS. l.. Beckett,
fell from post and rail fence, opposite
To his home, and in the fall struck his
head against an oyster shell that cut to
the bone and separated the scalp from
the bone the size of the shell. Medical
aid was summoned and the wound
dressed, he is at present getting along
excellent.
Thos. Blakely residing on the State
road met with severe accident on
Saturday morning: he had gone over
to neighbOring farmers, Geo Reed
Loflahd, to assist in threshing; whilst
feeding the machine the knife of the
band cutter slipped and cut Mr.. B.
across the back of his hand to the bone.
He was driven to town and the wound
was dressed Immediately by DIR. Clifton.
1t is feared that he will lose the use of
the index and second fingers.
In taking his daughter to the boat on
Friday DR.. Lambdin narrowly escaped
what might have been u serious acci-
dent. His horse became frightened
and unmanageable at u wagon loaded
with berry crates on top of which sat
two men. In its excited state it backed
into ditch upsetting the carriage and
throwing them out, but fortunately
nothing sustaining any injury but the
carriage.
John r. Robinson, in White Hall
Neck, met with an accident on Friday
that has given him great deal of pain
and may disable him for some weeks
He was going to his brothers for a
wagon body sitting on the bolster; in
a sudden and unexpected jolt he was
thrown forward at his horses heels
which caused them to start in a run
Though entangled in the gears and
partly dragging on the ground, he
held on bravely to the reins and sue
ceeded eventually, he hardly knows
how, in stopping them. DIR. Ashcrafl
who was sent for thinks no bones were
broken, but the ankle otherwise wa.
badly strained. 1t is especially unfor
tunate for him at this time, when hi.
presence is so needed in his peacl
orchard.

M. Il. Church Sunday.

Rev, VIM. S, Robinson, of Bridgeville,
by invitation of the committee of pulpit
supply during the absence of Rev, Mr..
Rigg, occupied the pulpit of the NJ. +.
Church, OF this town, on Sunday morn
ing and evening. The day was pleas
ant, the air bFacing, and the ooRgFega-
tion full, nearly every sitting In the
large auditorium being taken both
morning and evening. The DISCOURSE
ip the morning was on Hope, as
Christian virtue" based on concurrent
passages of scripture from three books
of the New Testament, IL showed
thought in conception, eruditiQn in
preparation and was clothed in language
unusually ehaste and finished. His
scriptural lesson, 9Th chapter of Romans
entiPe, read in style of natural eloeu-
tion that claimed the full attention Of
the audieneey followed by the hymn,
"Come the Fouht of Every Elessing,"
which was sung With spirit, put the
people In state Of preparedness for Q
sermon of gospel feFV0f.
The sermon in the evening was on
the Justice of God" the speaker set
ting forth clearly the divine purpose in
relation to man, and how His laws, as
being dscTeed from the highest intelli-
genee eaH96t be appealed from, and as
the demands are just, any violation OF
them would produce inhaFmoaies
throughout the Heavenly realm. II

THE SUICIDAL MANIA.-What with
the multiplied disasters that have Oc-
Cured in the last four weeks from
earthquakes, fires. sinking piers. colli-
sions, &C., one might suppose, says the
Baltimore Sun, that involuntary causes
of sudden and violent death were suffi-
ciently abundant without having re-
course to SeIfdestruction. But this
seems not to be the case, The Summer
has been characterized by an unusual
number of suicides in all parts of the
country. Nor has Baltimore been ex-
empt, Thursday, for example, there
were three suicides in Baltimore and
one of the cases was that of husband
who added the crime of Wife-murder to
that of suicide. 1t is little surprising
that season which, like the Summer,
presents so many opportunities of en-
jOyment should for SO many persons be
a time of extreme depression of spirits
and discomfort with life.

Death of Mrs. WIN. Rothweu.

This community was surprised and
panied to learn on Saturday of the sud-
den death of Mrs. Mary E., wife of VIM.
Rothwell, residing near Middletown.
She had been sick but few days,
though since last Winter she has not
been in a good state of health yet there
was no cause of alarm, her father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. A. l.. Hudson,
having returned from visit the even
ing before and none were more sur
prised than they at the news of her
death. The immediate cause the doc
tor pronounced to be affection of the
liver. They had been married but
about year and a-half, and went to
their new home amid the congratula-
tions of their friends but yesterday as
it were. She was recognized as a
young lady of sweet retiring disposi-
ton, of more than usual accomplish
ments in the arts of painting and music,
and her family have the sincere SYM
pathy of the community in mourning
her untimely death. Her remains were
accompanied yesterday from her late
home to GlenwOOd cemetery, this town,
by a large procession of sorrowing
friends.

Senator Hampton says that Mr.. Til

John Anthony received for three
baskets of Mountain Rose peaches in
New York, yesterday, $4.OO; others |
received 80 cents per basket.
Jerome Clark, Yard-master, with
shifting engine and seven or eight adj
ditional employees arrived on Monday.
This makes the railroad men about the
station number 27.
The first full car of peaches was
shipped ON Monday, containing the
combined shipments of Col. Douglass
and VIM. G. Hill. They were Troths.
This variety is the opening to the real
peach season.
Tramps are arriving on every train
and now number perhaps 100 at and
about the station. They board the
freight trains as they are in motion
from the different stations and some
times run great risks.
Tramps cOngregated in large num-
bers here on Sunday. They sought
amusement i'll shuffiing pasteboards,
their favorite game being euchre, for
the convenience of which they divided
themselves into companies.
Charles Spencer, who has had charge
of the branch train, has been taken off
to run a peach train on the Delaware
& Chesapeake road, making Il round
trip day. His place on the branch
train will be supplied for the present
by Thos. Parker, of the Delaware
road.
The building being erected here for
the use of Superintendent Mills and
the employees of the Delaware Railroad
Division is of the Swiss style of archi-
lecture and is estimated by the builder
to cost $4,000. 1t is to have all the
modern conVeniences, water closets,
bath room, gas and heater. The gas
will be made in the building and the
water conveyed from the tank which
supplies the engines.

great convenience for travellers and Il
source of profit to the company. The
| grounds around the building will be
| filled up, curbed with stone and sod
ded, so that when completed, will pre-
sent Il very attractive and esthetic ap-
pearance. Superintendent Mills rather
prides himself on the gardens along
his division and well he may, for it is
universally conceded that while he
can see the beauties of the morning
glory, field daisies and majestic sun
flower, he displays excellent judgment
in grouping of evergreens, deciduous
plants, flowers and shrubbery He
seems to be man of decided artistic
and esthetic tastes and his flower gar
dens all along the line of his division
must educate and create love for the
beautiful and attract more attention to
horticulture.

Senator who was willing to let the peo-
pie run the caucus as they thought
best. In Maryland there has been a
long contest in the dominant party for
the mastery of the machine, but with
in the last year more than one politi-
clan who was disposed to consider him
self invincible has been taught lesson
by an indignant public that he will not
speedily forget.
When the people become weary of
the leaders and their methods they can
teach them in the most salutary way,
as was witnessed last year in the
States of New York and Pennsylvania.
The theory is, the sovereignty of the
people. 1t must be respected. When
the leaders arrOgate to themselves
superior powers, it is only left for the
people to strip them of their brief
authority and turn them out among
their constituents helpless and home
less. The lessons of the past two years
must be needed, and we are looking
for less of the individual and more of
the masses in the conventions of the
coming year than has been witnessed
in our nation for long time.

THE hostility to and persecution of
the Jews in Europe has been especially
noticeable during the past year or two.
In regard to the last act the New York
Tribune says:
1.-THE acquittal of the Jews arraigned
IN Hungary for the murder of a Christ
ian girl, now leaves the ground clear
for some student in sociology to make
it known why the prosecution ever was
begun. To impartial observers it has
beer evident all along that there was
no truth in the charges against the
prisoners, but still they seem to have
been sincerely believed by most of the
Christians in that part of Hungary.
This belief could hardly have been due
TO race prejudice or hatred alone.
There must have been something else
back of either or both of these feelings
which made the charges seem reason
able TO the men and women who ac-
cepted them as true. Was it mild
form of insanity, such as some writers
say possessed the people of Salem in
the days when 1t was fashionable to
hang so-called witches? Or is over
crednlity contagious disease which
sometimes spreads through aR entire
eemmaRity?"
