Boys, it is well to look back once in a
while.
More comfortable, neat, and substan-
lial dwellings are needed. There were
nearly forty. houses built last year, and
there ought 10 be that number 20 up this
year. There is a demand now for houses.
A number of folks will have to either
move away or 20 to the country. Men
who are able TO build ought to do SO.
Money invested in houses generally brings
full rcturn1 of interest. No better invest.
ment. There is no use of building cheap,
small houses. Put up such as will be
ornaments to the town, and renters will
eagerly seek them. There are men in
this town who are fully able to build
such houses already mentioned. The
now street just south of the town is
about to be opened and there will be
splendid chances for a building boom.
There is needed more houses, and the
sooner built the better.

Silver Wedding.

A quarter of century in the matlimG-
NAL bonds seems long while, and yet
many couples travelling it, lei the occasion
slip by without celebrating tn event
Such was not the case with Mr., and Mrs.
John B. Richie of Wilmington. They
issued cards of invitation to few init
mate friends, and happy circle gathered
at their residence, 105 East 9th street, on
Saturday night last. The Professor
showed very little the weight of nearly a
half a century of years. Mrs. II, looked
smilingingly happy. Both, seemed to
realize that they had indeed, passed the
25th mile-post on the matrimonial road.
A very enjoyable evening was spent by
the friends, and the collation. spread was
truly rich treat. The presents received
were beautiful and useful. The groom
presented his bride with handsome
chased gold watch, with the remark that
the chain would be forthcoming on their
fiftieth wedding anniversary.

The handsomest piece of church decor
alton in this part of the State, is that
lately completed in the chancel Of st.
Thomas Episcopal Church in Newark.
The ceiling is rich ultra-marine blue,
dotted with gold stars of various Sizes
The upper part of the walls has for
ground work dark sage green, relieved
at regular intervals by feur-de-lis, in
crimson and gold.N This is separated
from the ceiling by a walnut moulding.
and gold frieze. The lower part of the
side walls has for u ground work terra.
Gotta color, having stencil imitation of
brick work. On the lower part of the
back wall and on either side of the altar
the ground work is very rich crimson,
relieved by diaper work in gold. This
part of the wall is separated from the
other by heavy gold and flock mould
ing, thus forming two handsome panels.
The lower part of the walls is divided
from the upper by what is technically
called rail, This consists OF wide
bdnt VI pidltl lSh SOAoli having bh IL fet
regular intervals ecclesiastical symbols,
1. II. S., maltese crosses, &c. This lail
is finished above and below with a mar
row moulding of gold and vernillion.
The arch of the chancel is finished in the
same way. Besides this decoration of
the walls, the woodwork has been paint
ed walnut color, lightened up with YER
million. The floor of the chancel has
been raised one step and a new carpet
put down. A new walnut rail, support
ed by metal standards, decorated, in blue
and gold, has taken the place of the old
stained one. There are also several
pieces of walnut chancel furniture, made
by Geissler of New York, consisting OF
one single prayer desk, one double prayer
desk, with stalls to match, and a pulpit
desk. There is also very handsome
new Bible for the lectern; which was pre-
sented as memorial. The body of the
church is also to be improved so soon as
circumstances will permit.

The Phonograph.

Through the kindness OF Rev. DR..
Polk, Principal of Newark Academy, we
received kind invitation on Monday
morning, to attend a lecture on the
"Phonograph' by Prof. j. W. Harmon
of New York, to the students of the
Academy.
The Professor fully explained the use OF
the wonderful instrument. He said that
by speaking in the cone attached to the
machine, a needle fastened on the plate
of mica, received the vibrations, making
little dots or lines on tho tinfoil. This
tin-Toil was placed around an iron or steel
cylinder, and when speaking through the
cone, the cylider was revolved by small
crank. After speaking in the cone, the
cylinder was reversed, and the plate of
mica and the needle was placed in the
same position as when talking. Another
larger cone was placed in front of the
plate of mica, and the machine put in
motion. The sound was reproduced. All
the intonations Of the voice being clearly
brought out. The invention of the
Phonograph belongs to Mr.. Edison, who

its dots and lines on it, caused by the
sound striking the needle, it being close
to the tin-foil. The Professor gave sew

FoRr WAYNE, Oct. 10th, 1884,
Mr.. Blaine spoke tonight as follows !:
Citizens of Indiana: The October
elections IN Ohio and West Virginia
have put a new phase on the nation
al contest or rather they have repro
duced an old phase. The Demo-
cratic party, as Of old, con-iIer new
that they have : solid South again.
They believe that they will surely
get l53 electoral votes from sixteen
Southern states, and then they ex-
pect, or they hope, or they dream,
that they may secure New York and
Indiana, and that with New York
and Indiana added to the solid
South they will seize the govern
ment of the nation. They can't do
it. | don't believe that farmers, bus
mess men. manufacturers, mechan-
les, and, last of all and most of all,
l don't believe that the men who
added lustre and renown to your
state through four years of bloody
war can be used to call into the ad-
ministration of the Government men
who organized the great rebellion.
In the senate OF the United States,
the Democrats have thirty seven.
members, OF which number thirty
two come from the South. Of their
strength in the House of representa-
tives the majority comes from the
South, and now the intention is,
with an absolutely solidified electo-
raj vote from the South added to
the votes of the two states l have
named to seize the government of
the Union. That means a great
deal; it means that as the South
furnishes three-tourths of the Demo
cratic strength, it will be given the
lead and control of the nation in the
event of Democratic triumph; it.
means that the great financial and
industrial systems of the Govern
ment shall be placed under the di-
rection OF the South that our cur
rency, our banks, our tariffs, our in
ternal revenue laws, in short, that
our whole system, upon which the
business of the country depends,
shall be placed under the control Of
that section it means thai the con-
stitutional amendment to which
they are SO bitterly opposed shall be
enforced only SO far as they believe
in them that the national credit,
as guaranteed in the fourteenth
amendment; that the payment of
pensions to soldiers of the Union, AS
guaranteed in the same amendment,
shall be under their control; and
what that control shall mean can be
measured by the bitterness with
which those amendments were re
sisted by the Democrats of the South.
There is not one measure of banking,
of tariff, of finance, of public credit,
of pensions, not one line OF the ad-
ministration upon which the Gov
ernment is conducted to-day, to
which the Democrats of the South
are not recorded as hostile, and to
give them the control would mean
change. the like Of which has not
been known in modern times.

No Pole for Belva.

Mrs. Belva Lock wood is not max
ing so much noise as some of the
other presidential candidates, but
her campaign is marching on. There
was a pole-raising in her honor at
Dalton, this State, the other day,
although the newspapers have not
mentioned it. Probably no organ
will notice it, but the telegraph is
under contract to furnish all cam
paign news, no matter what candi-
date is helped or hurt by it. This
pole in honor of Mrs. Lockwood was
raised spontaneously. There was no
clap trap about it 1t was erected by
pure love for Belva and her cause
Lewis II. Guenther was sole propri-
etor oft and to cheer his candidate
on her way he wrote her full ac-
count of the demonstration. In re-
ply the candidate thanked him cor
daily for his interest in the cause,
but begged him to take down the
pole. She said that she does not
approve of pole-raising in honor of
candidates and disliked torchlight
professions and all the fuss and fury
usually deemed essential to the sue
cess of a campaign. She prefers de-
feat to election by means of such
sensational devices. If any citizen
raises a pole in her honor hereafter
it will be against her plainly express
ed wishes. Mrs. Lockwood has
set her beautiful face like flint
against grievous evil, and demon
stration-stated reporters and other
worthy people will honor her for it.
She has defined clearly and in une-
quivocal language at least one Issue
in her canvass, which is more than
Mr.. Cleveland-who hopes to beat
her in the race-has done in his.
Mrs Lock woods motives in this mat
ter will be misconstrued. Some
folks will say that she is sly puss,
and makes this declaration to cover
still hunt. But We believe she
means it, and cry hurrah for Belva !
Down with the poles! Extinguish
! the torches Silence the glee! Give
us rest Buffalo Telegraph.

As it Appears In Ctac'aaati.

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 17.-To-day
the Republican majority in Ohio
looks as if it would come within .
few votes of 1900, but official re-
turns may vary it. The Eleventh
Congressional district is tolerably
assured to the Democrats, which
makes the Congressional districts
stand. as was telegraphed two nights
ago, ii Democrats and 10 Repub-
licans. This is a singular feature in
the election of Ohio which is fire.
quen. topic among Republicans.
This is that while Robinson's ma
jority over Newman is 1900, the
aggregate Republican majorities in
the Congressional districts over the
Democratic majorities is about 49,
600. This vote is truer represen-
tatlon of the actual strength of the
two parties than is the majority on
the State ticket.

Escaped Prisoners Besiegea.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, October 15.-
News has just been received from
Unionville, Orange county, that two
men named Esperidzt and Miller
escaped from the Crawford county
Jail and took refuge with the formers
father. The Sheriff with posse at
tempted to arrest them but was re-
pulsed. On Friday night the escpaed
prisoners went on a spree at Union
vile, and terrorized the town. On
Saturday the citizens formed Wig
ilance committee and laid siege to
Esperidzt's house. The old man
and his wife were killed. Miller's
wife and 1S-year-old son were NOR
tally wounded. The prisoners es-
caped in the darkness. At last ac-
counts the mob were pursuing them
and they will certainly be lynche,l
if caught.
