Fortunate Chance Of Lieut.
Chance, U. y. A.

Lieut.. Josiah Chance, of the 18th
Regiment Infantry, U. S. Army, at the
close of the late war, having served en-
tirely through it, was commissioned in
the regular service. Eleven years ago
he was stationed at Bismarck, and here
he has been ever since. Unde" his
superintendent Camp Hancock was
built, and the present Fort Lincoln.
He shook hands with the gallant Custer
when he left to march to death, and one
of the first tears to fall over his sad
fate fell from Lieut.. Chance. At present
he is at Lincoln, and no officer at the
fort is held in better esteem than he.
He drew 100000 in the July drawing of
The Louisiana State Lottery, at a cost
of s.. Every Bismarcker knows him,
and the Tribune heard but one express
sion: "Good 1t couldn't have fallen
to a better man." He says he will in
vest it in Dakota dirt, and will remain
in the service Through the Bismarck
National Bank he drew on New
Orleans for his $4,000. Lient. Chance
held two-Efths of ticket No. 81 ,34S. The
ticket drew the capital prize of S75, 600.

The German Woke en- fest.

The committee in charge of the Ger
man Nolkesfest to be held at the
SchcuIzen Park on the 18th, 18th and
10Th of this month held another meet
ing last evening. The Chief Marshal,
Professor Rhoads, was present ard sug-
gested that all trades and industries in
this city, who may so desire, be invited
to take part in the parade. He stated
thai IA number of merchants and manu-
fact urers have expressed desire to
exhibit Tho practical workings of their
business, and will provide platform
wagons on which men will be at work
as b'acksmiths, woodworkers, boiler
makers, tailors, cigar-makers, coffee
roasters, bakers, butchers, brewers,
shoemakrrS, printers, etc. The sugges-
ton was adopted and an invitation will
be extended to all to participate. From
the arrangements that are being made
by the committee it is probable that the
parade will be one of the finest ever
witnessed in this city. The proceeds Of
the Volkostest will be devoted to. the
support of the German American
school, and 1t should be literally pa
tronized.

IN NEW QUARTERS.
Another Improvement ON East
Front Slreet-A Fine Store.

Front street is gradually assuming a
more Impressive appearance and many
of the old structures are being remodel
ed and otherwise improved. Among
the latest alterations is the old dwelling
house No. 104 East Front street, recent
ly purchased by Stansbury Murray, Jr.,
from Mrs Stephen Downey, daughter
of the late Morris Weldie.
The building was transferred to Mr..
Murray on the 10th Of August, and
upon the following day the work of
tearing out began and in short time
| the old house was soon transformed
into a fine store and dwelling com bined.
The floor was lowered several feet a
handsome front with large bulk win
dow put in and the interior greatly i'm
proved. Partitions were torn down and
the rooms extended back considerable
distance TINS giving ample capacity for
conducting tirst-class barber shop
and cigar emporium.
The Jackson & Sharp Company fur
nished the mill work, Cranston and
Newbold supplied the lumber and,
Patrick Dunn did the carpenter work !;
the brick work and plastering was
done by Nathaniel w. Clark James X
Bro. furnished the glass and hardware
The painting was done by William
Murphey, who is IN als. .,t hand with
the painters brush, while the paper
hanging was ar3stically done by John
W. Wigglesworth. The paper is of Il
rich design and the latest pattern.
Around the chandeliers on the ceilings
are handsome centre pieces, surrounded
by numerous birds, the whole forming
an attractive appearance. Robert
Hutton did the plumbing and placed
the gas fixtures in position.
The rear Of the new store is fitted up
as a tOnsorial establishment in the lat
est Boston style. Two chairs are kept
in operation, and it is the intention of
the proprietor to fully supply the wants
Of his many friends who want first
class shave or hair cut. The front part
of the store is neatly fitted up for the
sale of tobacco and cigars, where the
Wales celebrated cigars may always be
found. Mr.. Murray has long since felt
the ne 'essity Of more room for his rap
idly increasing business, and with that
object in view he purchased this build
ing and fitted II up as above stated.
Mr. NJ. is thorough going business
man, and has been termed by many as
Wilmington's Young Wanamaker,"
which name he truly merits for his en-
terprise in adding another fine store to
this street. Those who have dealings
with him find him gentleman in every
respect, and as he invests heavily in the
use of printers ink, by advertising in
the columns of the REPUBLICAN, to
which he attributes his success, we be-
speak for him a liberal share of the
public patronage. Through advertising,
his Wales cigars are eagerly sought
after and acknowledged to be the best
in the city. In connection with the
new stand Mr.. Murray still retains pos
session of the old place, No. 9 French
street. In front of the new store may
be found figure of GeorgeWashington,
freshly painted and ready for business.

A Serious Collision near Clay ytOn-
Cars wrecke ed ~ PerPyville.

The south. bound passenger train or
the Delaware railroad, which leave!
Wilmington at 6 25p. ln., collided with
a freight train one mile south OF Grcel
Spring station and one mile north o
Clayton last night, wrecking botl
engines and injuring several persons
the particulars of which are about as
follows:
Engine No. 2S, attached to a freight
train coming north, was on tho siding
below Green Spring, awaiting the arri'
val Of the north-bound passenger train,
the two trains acting under orders to
pass at this point. After tho freight
train was safe on the siding, the
engineer, fireman, conductor and crew
left the train and proceeded to wash up
and get their supper. While they were
absent a tramp jumped on one OF the
cars, ran forward to the engine and
jumping on the locomotive opened the
throttle and started it in motion.
In going from the siding to the main
track, the switch being closed, the cn-
gine Jumped the track and proceeded
over the Ties short distance, when
engine No. 81, attached TO the down
passenger train, in charge of engineer
Peter McConaghy, came laundering
along, and before he noticed the danger
his train struck the empty freight car,
which was pushed off the siding ahead
of the freight engine with considerable
force, and frightful collision was the
result. Owing to the freight car being
ahead of engine No %, McConaghy
was unable to see the danger until it
was too late to avoid collision, but he
stuck to his post and did not leave the
engine until the fire was extinguished
and the speed of iron monster stayed,
which bravery no doubt saved the lives
of many Of the passengers.
William II. Collins, the fireman, was
severely y scalded, besides receiving sew
eral cuts on his face and bruises on his
back, his injuries being of a serious
character. The engineer escaped with
slight bruises. Mail agent Smith was
thrown violently to the floor of the mail
car when the two trains collided, and
several passengers were thrown violent
ly from their seats and received slight
bruises. Mrs. William Mitchell, OF
Smyrna, was badly hurt, aud Mrs.
Harris, of Harrisburg, was thrown
against the water cooler and severely
injured. Both engines were totally de
mOlished and several cars were badly
wrecked, while the freight in some OF
the cars was strewn along the road for
some distance A wrecking train was
Immediately dispatched to the scene,
and other engines sent for to convey
the trains to their destination. The
tramp who maliciously boarded the en-.
gine made his escape.
ACCIDENT AT rEKRYVILLE.
Some time last night a south-bound
freight train on the main line Of the +.
w. 81 b. Railroad was shifted from the
main track on to a siding at Perryville,
and the engineer, not being warned OF
empty cars on the siding, gran into them,
delnoishing three or four and damag-
ing the engine slightly. No one was
hurt

on the subject, including both local
preachers, the board of trustees, stew

The place is dear to us from its asso.
Citations although Sloan did not wish
to have the burden of holding the camp
in the future, we expected to have the
privilege Of worshiping there again,
and even Of tenting on the ground,
whether we became members of the as

with the Wilmington people, both with
those that have crossed over into the
