lowing, which should he % warning to
ali young men who are placed In a
81 milar position
A young man Of this county whose
girl went back on him, and yet refused
to give up the engagement ring, sued
her for it, whereuron her father turned
around and sued the young nan for
the firewood and coal oil that were
burned in the parlor while tho love
that the young man ate at the house
during his corrtsh'p, and for the fod-
der and corn that was fed to his horse
during the same time. The case was
decided in the old mans favor. The

An Agreeable Surprise.

Edward w. Grieves, recently en-
ployed as draughtsman at the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Company's car shops,
this city, but now foreman mt the Balti.
more Il Ohio shops, Baltimore, was
Iagreeably surprised on arriving at his
home, No. 6l1 West Fifth street, last
Saturday evening, by visitof twenty
five or more of the car builders of the
H. g. H. Co., preceded by their fore
man, Edward Robinson.
Mr.. Grteves was presented with one
of Z. w. Dawson 81 Co.'S. handsomesl
gold headed canes, with the following
inscription beautifully carved: "Pre-
sented to Il. W. Grieves by the car
builders of the II. & II. Co., Will, Del,
June 10, 1884.
The pres ntation was made by Mr..
James HarRis in very appropriate
speech, as follows: "Mr. Grleves, your
friends, car builders of the II. & II.
Company, have assembled here this
evening to congratulate you upon your
"higher accession" and deem it fitting
in recognition Of their peasant asso-
citation and intercourse with you for
years past, to bestOw upon you an ap-
propriate farewell memento, and to that
end, sir, selected this beautiful staff,
which, allow me to remark, is the ap-
pendage to a gentleman and sir, it
comes to you with their most brilliant
hopes that its support will at least tend
to brighten your keenest abilities. But
you have our wishes for the fullest ap.
preclation Of your talents and capacity
in your newly-acqui responsibilities,
Accept it, sir, III the same kindly
spirit in which it is extended.
The company then adjourned to the
dining room, where they did ample
Justice to bountiiul supply of refresh
ments, when they all bid Mr.. Grieves
farewell and departed at reasonable
hour. MIR. Grieves has been in the EN-
ploy of the H. u H. Co. for upward of
sixteen years, and his departure will
no doubt be felt by all the fellow-work-
men.

NOMINATION ELECTION.
FORD AM d WIDDOEs THE DEMO
CRATIC CANDIDATES FOR
SHERIEF AND CORONER.

The Democratic nomination election
for candidates for Sheriff and Coroner
last Saturday afternoon seemed to pos.
sess considerable interest for the unter.
ritied ,and very large vote was polled.
In the Tenth ward there were 662 votes
polled Oh Saturday, while at the city
election one week previous, there Were
but 553 votes cast tal,ogether, of which
387 we're Democrats, and 146 Republi.
cans. There was proportionate increase
In many Of the other wards, and the
entire vote cast in this city as returned
for Sheriff on Saturday, foots up 5,O36
of which 1851 were for Thomas Ford,
and ,499 for j. Il. 9. Oldham. The
Democratic vote at the city election for
Rhoads for President of City Council,
was 3, 465 and the entire vote polled for
both candidates 7,188,or only 2, 81 more
than were cast last Saturday. As the
Republican candidate for President OF
Council received 1858 votes, it follows
that SOL more Democrats voted at the
nomination election on Saturday
than at the city election one week pre-
vious.

THUNDERsTORM PHENOMENA.

Several foreign scientists have recently
published the results Of their Investigations
Of the causes o: atmospheric electricity in
storms. NJ. De Tromelin. in Il paper read
before the Paris Academy, holds that mere
evaporation Of water, even when aciduiated,
does not produce electricity, while III evapo-
ration produced by wind there is friction
and ia this mechanical work the mysterious
cause is to be sought. In this view the
crasts Of ocean waves and the rouShness Of
.ne soil, when swept by moist winds. play
all important part i'll the generation OF at
mosphe,ic electricity. Other investigators
have recently attempted 10 SHOW That
electricity Is not due TO evaporation or con-
dcnsation OF water. But their experiments
have been conducted on so small u scale
that they are inconclusiVe. The ll-known
fac: that the most fearful forces Of atmos-
phcric electricity arc exhibited in the
tropics and in the calm bclis where evapo-
ration and condensation Of Watery matter
proceed On the grandest scale, conclusively
proves that these processes are productive
OF great electrical disturbances quite indie
pendently OF wind agency.
While the origin Of atmospheric electrlcl-
~ is still 80 obscure, measurements Of its
force and Of the forces Of evaporation enSag-
cd in producing it have been made with
some approach to accuracy. Mr.. DE Ia Rue
has shown by the aid of mis- magnificent bat
terry Of eleven thousand cells that the poten-
tiai necessary 10 produce Il flash of lightning
!. mile long would require u battery Of more
than three and IL half million cells. In II
late publication Professor TAFT calculates
lnat to evaporate IL single pound Of water
in the form Of vapor from the sea or moist
ground requires al amount Of work equal
10 that of q horse for about half an hour"
while fifth Of an inch Of rain represents
on q square mile about = million horse pow
er cyerted for fourteen hours.
These calculations may be practically use
iui in showing all classes Of people 20 what
iri.htful forces they are exposed in thunder
storms Every year rs tho warm season
ar3roaches the fatalities from lightning null
,ip!y, most Of which occur to persons appa-
ren;iy inscnsble to the danger from The
