THEN AND NOW

In 1851 400 Indians were engaged gath
ering cranberries out at Rice lake, only a
few miles from st, Paul, and in the fall of
this year twenty-five bears were killed st the
same place. II was common thing to see
fifty Indians in the town at one
time. Now no Indians can be seen
no bears are visible; population has set
in, and where these elements of bar
barism existed, are farms, railroads, towns,
cities, civilization. The undertow Of the
wave Of emigration could thus early be heard
rumhliug from the east, and on il came
sweeping back the Indians and opening a
new light into the dark reeesSes OF forest of
a comparatively unexplored and an unde-
veloped region.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

On their way to New Ulm they were met
by eighteen Indians, all painted, with rifles
cooked, and seeing the situation they invited
them intoa saloon near by and treated them
to native wine. This fortunate circumstance
probably saved the lives of both Mr.. Shelly
and Galbraith, as it was no doubt the inten-
ton of the Indians to kill them both at this
time

THE INDIAN OUTBREAK.

He was the first man who brought the news
OF the Indian outbreak in 1862 to Gov Ram
sey, and he did this on his own responsible
ity. He was with Maj. Galbraith, the Indian
agent, who had organized company to 60
south, and was on his way with them to st.
Paul when they were overhauled by a man by
the name of Dickerson, who notified them of
the outbreak. Shelly Immediately started for
st. Paul, distance of fifty miles, and after
riding all night arrived in the morning and
gave the Governor the news. He was in st.
Paul on the 18th and the outbreak occurred
on the 10th

Mr.. Irvine did not procure much rea. es-
tate in the early days, as his brother John
used to tell him he had enough for imself
and all his brothers, but he purchased two
lots on Pleasant avenue, for which
he paid $500; worth now 1000; two lots
on College avenue, cost $500; sold for $1,000,
worth $4,000. And, singular as it may ap-
pear, this is the extent of his real estate
transactions.

churches leaning at all angles, and all the
signs of collapse in one place and apparent
upheaval in another. The more gradually
this takes place the slighter the shock; in
some cases whole street will sink fifteen or
twenty feet in a day ; in others the change
will occur insensib'y in the course of long
periods of years. If we examine mass of
metal after cooling we shall find the inter
ior full of cavities large and small; the more
rapid the cooling the larger and more
numerous the cavities. This may be
easily verified by experiment. Let pound
of zinc be melted in an iron ladle, and
poured into a cold iron mould freely expos
ed to the air. The resulting mass will at
first present a smooth flat surface but
towards the completion of tile cooling pro
cess large cavities will form and the
surface will be found SO thin over
Here we have a very fair analogy to the
known conditions of the earth's crust, large
portions of which bear the plainest evil
deaces of having once been in molten con-
dition.
Theory No. assumes that the phenomena
of earthquakes are chiefly electrical in their
nature. 1t is well known that current of,
electricity eau be produced by the heating
of two metals in contact, and that the earth
itself is a vast magnet. Several observers
have recorded that the recent earthquake
was preceded by well marked meteoro-
logical changes and others have noted that the
shocks were accompanied with tingling sonsa-
toins analogous to those produced by the pas
sage ola voltaic current through the body. In
the case of the great earthquake at Lisbon,
premonitory signs of this character were
distinctly observed many hours before the
final shock. 1t is not difficult to conceive
that the decomposition of vast quantiti es of
positive and negative electricity in the
earth itself might produce all the phenomena
observed on Sunday. We know that such
events are of constant occurrence in the
earth's atmosphere; why should they not
occur in its substance?
J The superficial area Of the affected region
on Sunday was not less than 60,000 square
miles. From this we can easily gather that
the initial disturbance was deeply seated !;
probably not less than ten miles within the
crust of the earth. If we could establish by
observation that there was an analogy be-
tween the partial earthquake of Sunday
and the return shock of the thunder cloud,
the electrical origin of the phenomenon
mi ght be considered as established.

lot undoubtedly emts unpleasant odors, but
it is very doubtful if the Street Commits
s oner is much TO blame in the matter. A
representative of 'fHE WILMINGToNIAN
examined the locality with great care and
found the amount of street sv eepngs depos-
tied very small in comparison with the area
OF the lot, nor did the material deposited seem
the noisome odor emitted from the place.
But he did find that the cess pools of the
houses on the south and vest sides of the
excavation were located within 80 or 40 ieet
Of the sides, in a porous soil and with 2
natural fall in tile direction of the lot. 1t
was impossible to escape the conclusion that
the smell, which had the characteristic
'Hbouquet'' Of sewage. Gmanated chiefly, if
not entirely, from the sodkage of nightsoil
through the sandy walls Of the excavation,
ami its natural accumulation 10y gravity in
tic bottom of the pit.
1t is not a littl amusing to reflect that in
the same spirit that the depoI.ing Of street
sweepings on the sand lot is condemned,
proposition WAS made that the place should
be utili zrd as II public park, till the dccom-
posing mass beneath should have been so
far oxidized that it would be safe to build
on it. We have yet to be convinced that a
ste which is unhealthy for building
purposes could be available as a source of
pure fresh air, such as a park should afford.
Meanwhile the Slul-hpIo lot is emphati-
eaily nuisance and should receive the
prompt attention Of the proper Authorities.
There is reason to believe that many Of the
physicians who endorsed the petition did so
merely ON representation, but no doubt need
be entertained as u the danger to health
involved in the continuance Of the present
state Of things.

NOBODY TO BLAME!!!

THE WILMINGToNIAN, times without num-
Der, has stated that the carelessness, the
negligence or the indifference of the street
authorities was breeding a suit for damages
against the city.
Never before in the history of Wilmington
have the streets been in such horribly bad
condition. The paved streets are a success
sion of holes, whilst the unpaved streets are
SO covered with small rolling stones that
horses are constantly being lamcd and in
some cases the rolling stones cause horses
to fall to the ground. Street after street is
SO filled with piles of bricks, mortar, stones,
refuse matter of one sort or another, that to
drive at night means to impelil ones life,
as the ordinance in reference to the danger
signals is dead letter. The street com
missioner ought to know that danger signals
over places Of obstruction are not displayed,
and if he does not know it, we suggest that
il he will devote five minutes any evening
to this matter he will find in any part of the
city ample proofs of the statement.
The daily Press called attention to the
death trap that the city was cultivatng on
Maryland avenue near Mr.. W. Y. Warmers
factory, yet the protests were unheded until
fatal casualty nearly beiell the family
nf mn Nyn nj tpu Mn Il
Mr. Brown was returning from the coun-
try last Sunday evening W tn his wife and
over pile of dirt which had been dumped
midway in the street, the carriage was
overturned, throwing every occupant to the
ground. That those helpless children were
no. mangled and killed was no fault Of the
Street Commissioner, but was due directly
to gentle horse and the nterposition of q
protecting Providence. 1t is glaring out
rage to those whose business relations
compel them to use the streets that they
cannot be afforded some protection. Mr..
bToWH Will DIllS SUN uSllHSl Ine Guy lOf
damages, and he will be awarded them, but
if his child had had its limbs broken, what
compensation could have mitigated the epainp
Or if his child had been mangled unto death
by the overthrow. Should not the street
commissioner have been subjected to Grim
inal indictment?
If there is no individual responsibility for
official dereliction, the time is now opportune
for saving clause to our city charter--if
men in official stations were brought face to
face with the consequences of their neglt
gences and compelled to father their
responsibilities there would be less clamor-
ing for offices, and positions cf ,iass wo1id
be filled more creditabiy.
Nobody to blame-nobody responsible has
been the song already too long sung in our
municipal ailai.s, and tue time is now for a
new dispensation.

The Philadelphia Times in speaking Of
campaign scandal says:--
"Campaign scandals are always reaction
ary in their effect. II was so when General
Jackson was assailGd as seducer and IN
ahultcrer; it was so when Governor Porter
was heralded as a libertne in the Peg
Beatty crusade, and it will he so in the
Presidential election of 1884 and for all the
years to come which belong to free govern
ment The only possible escape the fool
Blaine leaders have from the Cleveland
scandal would be in the threatened retalia-
tory scandals against Blaine; but if Demo-
cratic leaders, with tho now clearly visible
reactionary results of the campaign liars in
assailing Cleveland, shall turn the campaign
liars loose on Blaine, they will well deserve
to be defeated and they will pretty surely
get their deserts. OF all campaign blunders,
the blunder of the campaign scanda'-monger
is the most fatal to those who employ it.
Another campaign blunder is now devel-
oping into grave proportions aud returns TO
vex the fool Blaine leaders. 1t is the idiotic
prominence given to a few generally charac-
terless Irish leaders, and The attempted
hurrah of tho whole Irish-American vote to
Blaine. 1t has reacted simply because it
could not do otherwise, and the wonder is
that party leaders credited with political
sagacity, should have fallen into such a
blunder. 1t has reacted for many reasons
all of which should have been foreseen by
ordinary intelligence. 1t has reacted
because it has called out Mr.. Blaines often
svc Know-Nothing record in his own State,
where every Irish nan was excluded from
even military commission, and military
company oi more than One-third Irishmen
could not be organized in Maine. 1t has
reacted because the pretended Irish leaders
who proposed to deliver the whole Irish
American vote to Blaine are recognized, as
n rule as mere corrupt party traders in Ire
lands Woes and they have disgustcd the
Overwhelming mass oc honest Irish voters.
1t has reacted because the disreputabe and
ostentatious trading with disreputable Irish
leaders has aroused the late1t hostility to
Irish domination in American politics that
Mr.. Blaine planted and watered years ago
and now there is danger of the loss of the
whole honest Irish vote and of the loss of
tens of thousands of honest American votes
because of the subordination of great
national campaign to a few blatant Irish
political dynamiters, who own and represent
nothing, but who propose to sell ard deliver
everything.

The Scandl;ll-MOnger.

Shortly after the nomination of Grover
Cleveland William Purcell personal and
political enemy of the Democratic candidate
stigmatized the Democratic standard bearer
as a moral lepcr and forthwith the opinion
Of Purcell was blazoucd forth by nearly
every Republican newspaper in the land.
An exalted prominence was given to Pur-
cells statement over most revolving head
line; which were supplemented by most
scathing comments in the editorial columns,
but when Purcell boldly and honorably
declared that an honest investigation of
those charges upon which lie based his
declaration, had convinced him that he had
wronged Governor Cleveland, we were not a
little surprised to find an ominous silence on
the part of those Republican journals which
had made such indecent haste TO brand he
Democratic candidate as n moral leper.
Justice to the truth, justice to selfrespcct,
would have suggested to that portion of the
Press which had slandercd Mr.. Cleveland to
have given to Pureells rotraction :he same
space aud the same prominence that they
gave to the original statement.
When the flood gates of caumny were
raised to submerge Mr.. Blaine's antagonist
honorable exception must be noted of the
two leading Republican journals of Buffalo

These journals persistently refused to con
taininate their columns with a scandalou'
rumor which found no favor in the com
munity where Mr.. Cleveland was the bes
known.

lowing retraction of his former statement

The Sand-HOIe Lot,

The petition signed by residents in the
neighborhood of Twelfth AID Tatnall, which
was endorsed by the signatures of nineteen
physicians of this city, relates TO but one of
the vacant lots in this city-that known as
the Sand-hoe lot. Three weeks ago THE
WILMINGToNIAN indicated in the plainest
terms that the condition Of the vacant lots
in the western section of the city was a
standing premium on disease and death; the
petition now under consideration deals with
but one, and that comparatively unirport

The friends of Mrs. Emma A. Walters
were startled on last Thursday morning by
a telcgraphic dispatch announcing the unex-
pected death of that lady at her residence
iu Pedricktown N. J. She was the daugh-
ter of Mr. William Bowers of this city, and
had resided in Pcdricktown for about two
years. Mrs. Walters visited her family and
friends in this city some three weeks ago,
and her health at that time was most excel
lent, which fact totally unprepared her
friends for the sad announcement of her
death. The deceased possessed the hap py
faculty of making her household most
attractive aud her loss will be deeply
molrned by her former companions. Her
remains will be brought to this city this
afternoon on the Susie a. Mccall, leaving
Ponnsgrove at o'clock and tho procession
will leave the wharf at the foot of Fourth
street proceeding directly to the Riverview
| Cemetery.
