A Fine Medical Exhibit

At the meeting of the Delaware State
MEDICAL Society, in the Opera House
Wilmington, last week, Mr.. 4. James
Belt Wilmingt0n's leading druggist had
fine display of new rare chemicals,
medicines and remedial articles,
4 counter over thirty feet in length
and three feet in breadth was erected in
the lecture room, upon whiTh a most at
traetiye exhibit was placed.
Among the articles shown there welG
about 1e5 specimens of pills of almost
every kind in general use by physicians
and tlusses of the latest patterns for
every variety of hernia. The sizes vary
from those suitable for the smallest in
FAINT to the full grown man. All of the
newest dpviaee in abdominal supporters

exclusively in the ladies' Department ii
Mr.. Belts store, which is under the sole
charge of a competent female assistant,
numbering i'll all nearly 100 varieties, were
also shown. y large supply of samples
for gratuitous distribution were also ar
ranged in an artistic style, located near
the centre of the exhibit. The members
of the society awaited themselves of the
opportunity to carry away and test the
medical samples thus displayed.

The Registers Gases.

The Court of Appeals this week passed
upon several important cases. among them
those of William II. Dyninger and Au-
gu.tus 5. Bryan, registers of voters, (the
first in Baltimore city, the second in
Anne Arundel county.) VS.. Thomas J..
Heating, Comptroller. Judge lellott, in
delivering the opinion of the Court, said:
In addition to the registration of voters
on the days set apart for that purpose by
the act of Assembly they pei formed
other services required by the law, and
for the performance of these services
they contend that they are entitled to be
paid at the rate 81 per diem for the time
so occupied. The amount so claimed by
Ryninger is SIP, and the amount
claimed by the other appellant is $50.
The validity of these claims being denied
and payment refused, each of the appel
lants applied to the Circuit Court for
Anne Arundel County for writ of man
damus commanding :he comptroller to
issue his warrant upon the treasurer of
the State for the sum of money claimed
in each case. The court below dismissed
the petitions, and from the order in each
case an appeal has been taken, and the
questions involved in controversy thus
been brought into this court for final
determination. The payment OF the per
diem is for days of appointed ser
vices If the Legislature had inten-
ded that the compensation should be only
for the time occupied in the registration
of names there can be no doubt that the
intention would have been plainly ex-
pressed. The other services for which
payment is demanded were required by
the law, and unless they had been per-
formed the work of registration would
have been inchoate. all that had been
already accomplished rendered abortive,
and the efforts to attain the important
object contemplated by the law com
pletely frustrated. The law requires and
compels the officers of registration to
perform certain services. They are,
therefore, appointed services because
the Legislature has prescribed them. By
the provisions of the twenty til st section
of the act each officer of registration is
required, within five days after each of
the several sittings in the year eighteen
hundred and eighty-two, to make and
publish in handful form complete list
Of all persons registered at said several
sittings. While we do not think that the
appellants are entitled to compensation
for other services which are merely Incl
dental to their general duties, We are of
opinion that this particular duty Is so
intimately connected with tina! of regis
tering the names at the sittings that the
days SO occupied were days of appointed
services, for which a per diem of 81 is
allowable uhder the true construction of
the statute. Tie number of days so oc-
cupied. not exceeding five after each sit.
ting, should be ascertained by proper
proof, such as the act of Assembly desis-
mates in each case, and the comptroller
should then be required by mandamus to
issue his warrant on the treasurer for the
sums so found to be due. The order of
the court below in each case will be
reversed. In each ease order reversed
and cause remanded.''

CONFEDERATE BONDS

Intelligent people must know that the
purchase OF Confederate bonds by dealers
can be effected for no other purpose than
that of aiding fools to part with their
money. All the Confederate security
in existence could not be sold for brass
farthing were it not for the credulous
people in this and other lands who may
be duped with them. 1t is reported that
brokers at Richmond are buying all kinds
of Confederate bonds, and the demand is
more brisk than it has been at any previ.
Gus time since the war. One firm is said
have bought more than $50, 900, 600 OF
the worthless paper, and North Carolina
bonds have just been sold at auction
at 81 per $1,000. Undoubtedly an effort
is to lie made to spread the belief among
the ignorant that in some way the gov
eminent is to be compelled to pay the
Confederate bonds, and some dealers in
them expect to derive a handsome profit
by peddling them out to rustic vic

A TERRIBLE CALAMITY.
Nearly Two Hundred Children Trampled
to Death in Public Hall.

A terrible calamity. involving the
death of 1877 children, occurred in the
town of Sunderland, in the county of
Durham, England on last Saturday even
ing. IL appears that an entertainment
had been given in Victoria Hall by 4
conjuror, which was attended almost al
together by children, several thousand
being in attendance. The accident,
which was so direful in its effects, oc-
cured at the close of the performance.
The body of the hall had been entirely
cleared of its occupants, when some 1900
of the little ones came rushing down stairs
fro m the gallery. At the top of the first
flight of stairs there was Il door which
opened only go inches, and thus only one
child was permitted to pass through at a
time. At this point. while the mass of
children were pushing forward, some of
them fell and were unable to rise, owing
to the others crowding on. The result
was that Il great number were pushed
down, trampled on and suffocated.
The scene was terrible, and no effort
could stop the wild rush of the atfrigh-
tened children. They came on pell nell,
though strangely without much shouting
and soon 1893 of them were knocked down
and Sutfocated to death by others tramp
ling upon them. The greater number of
the bodies, which were badly mangled
from the trampling, laid seven or eight
deep. Many of the victims and others
who were not killed had their clothing
torn from their bodies, and this, together
with the bleeding bodies of the unfor-
Inmates, shows the terrible nature of the
of the struggle. The ages of the 1917
children known to have been killed
ranged from to IA years.
The excitement in the town when the
news OF the disaster spread was terrific.
Great crowds of people rushed to the
scene, until at least 10000 persons sur
rounded the hall. The feeling was SO
intense that the authorities ordered out
the SiXty-eighth Infantry to preserve
order. The work of getting out the
bodies Of the victims was begun imme-
diately. They were laid out in the hall,
and the parents of those killed were ad-
mitted for the purpose of identifying the
bodies of their children. Most hcartren-
ding scenes occurred while the work of
identification was in progress. The
mothers of the dead child EN- constantly
uttered piercing shrieks, and many of
them tainted on discovering the bodies of
their little ones.

Death of Archbishop Wood.

Archbishop Wood died at II. 20 o clock
on Wednesday night, in Philadelphia.
He had been unconscious since Tuesday
evening, and it was decided early in the
day that he could not survive long. DR..
Samuel w. Gross and DR.. Lopez were i'll
attendance early in the evening, and
the former left, leaving DR.. Lopez to
look to the patents interests. Soon after
Vicar General Walsh departed for home,
leaving only the priests resident III the
house i'll attendance upon his grace.
Suddenly about nine o'clock, the patient
seemed to become weaker and fell off into
sleep. His breathing, at first heavy,
became easier until it ceased, and the
Archbishop died in the most peaceful
manner. His decease was announced by
the toling of the Cathedral bell.
1t is generally believed that lst. Rev.
Bishop Becker of Wilmington will sue
ceed Bishop Wood.

As if made desperate by the fear that
the arrival of other famous swimmers
from the Old World may interfere with
his notoriety, Capt. Webb has deter
mined to undertake to swim the awful
whirlpool below Niagara Falls. A
purse of $1,000 has been offered by
railway companies for the performance
of the feat, and doubtless a multitude
will visit Niagara July 81, the day APP
pointed for the event. Although the
whirlpool is about a mile long and its
current is thirty-nine miles an hour, it
is not improbable that Capt. Webb may
escape destruction, since the prodigious
powers he exhibited in swimming the
English Channel warrants the expecta-
ton of almost miraculous performances
on his part but the risk of life he will
incur must be very great. A law should
be enacted to prohibit such foolhardy
enterprises. They are bad in them
selves and bad in their influence upon
the Young.

On Monday night Mrs. Moore. widow,

startled by the screaming of her SON. She
ran into his room and found him almost
dead with fear and trembling in every
limb. She questioned him, aud after
considerable delay he told her that about
- o'clock, while listening to the storm,
then raging, he WAS startled by seeing
through the dim light of a lamp which
burned in the room i man raising the

THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.


The Democratic City Conven ton
met on Thursday night at Raine's Hall,
Baltimore, and elected Gen. George S.
Brown president There were some
lively tits between delegates, and much
i'll feeling exhibited. The Regulars
struggled hard before they finally sue
cumbed, but were at last beaten and
forced to surrender without terms. OF
the result of the Convention, the Bati-
more American says:
''IIarmony' was secured at the Demo-
cratic City Convention, at very heavy
cost, and very inferior article of IIar-
mony at that. 1t consisted in a back
down on the part Of the regulars, and a
welcoming of them to the bosoms of the
- u. DIS, who, in formal address a
lays before, called them corrupt
: ID charged them with bribery and all
s,anner of disagreeable things. The
bosses, after being thus denounced and
dreading the full exposure Of their ne
farious schemes which the Y. l.. ID. S,
had evidently only half disclosed, weak
ened and surrendered to the Y. l.. DIS,
who have thereby become the Gregg.
lars" AS regulars they not only accept
the continuity of the party, but it's rec
ord, and receive back into full fellowsh ip
and communion the very men that the
y. l.. DIS were organized to cast out
The bosses and sub bosses may serve
under new banner, but there they all
are Just as before. Mr.. Sames Buse v
and many others of the old machinists
are at their posts and will carry on bust
ness at the old stand. Still, harmony
was secured.
True, it was secured after stormy and
tumultuous scene; but it was at last Sc
cured and handcuffed, and is now safely
in the custody of the late y. l.. DIS
now Regulars. Therefore, when the
campaign comes on the late reform"
but now regular organization, when
called on to address the taxpay ers will
probably be found defending the record
of the party" and eating the words of
seorn recently officially put forth by
them. The bosses who were lately as
sailed virtually as thieves will now be
defended. They will still remain as pow
.ers in the party, and will conduct them
selves just as before. This, then, lis the
end of the boosted movement for purifi-
cation. Now let the Republicans come
forward and do their duty. Let them
put into the field full Republican ticket
pure, upright, capable business men.
The time is ripe. The farce of reform
inside the party is played out. We have
gotten to the end of reform-tle little
end.
