Almost every afternoon the Brandy
wine creek, in the vicinity of Lees
mills is filled with fishermen, and
oftentimes are successful in catching
large number of the finny tribe. This,
however, is done when the water is not
polluted with dye stuff from the mills
farther up the stream. When this dye
stuff is emptied into the creek the water
becomes very black and has tendency
to drive the fish away from their usual
haunts, much to the chagrin of those
who happen to be out angling at the
time. When the water is clear, how
ever, local fishermen find it easy work
to catch a string Of fish and oftentine es
carry home from three TO Six dozen a
piece. Rock fish predomiIate in the
stream at this point, while other
varieties are sometimes hooked. A
days sport on this stream is very
pleasant.

The Pumping BtatiOns Visited.

The pumps at the city mill and the
cool spring reservoir were inspected
yesterday afternoon by the Board OF
Water Comm issioBers and Chief Engi-
neer McIntire. About one hour and
half was spent at the city mill, and all
the machinery thoroughly inspected.
The pump was run to its fullest capa-
city, TO give the Commissioners an op-
portunity Of judging correctly In refer
ence to the humping noise complained
of by persons residing in the vicinity.
After having practical test of the
matter, Mr.. Gibbons said he thought
the noise could be remedied by hav-
ing large air chamber put in, 80 that
the steam would exhaust in that, but
Mr.. Porter thought the best way Of get
ting rid of the annoyance would be 10
give the old engine away, and procure
. new one. The basin was also ,nor-
oughly inspected, and the opinion OF
a practical stone mason had n refer
ence to the weak part of the bank on the
east side.

Experlences with . II cad

In Anau criminals are decapitated
by the use Of a long sabre, held In the
two hands of the executioner, who In
cutting draws the blade toward him,
and usually separates the head from
the body at a single blow. To accom-
plish this 1t Is necessary that the blade
pass between two of the vertebre. This
is.effected by requiring the condemned
to bend his neck over the block, 80 as to
separatesthe vertebrR. as much as pos
sible. When the criminal, through fear,
does not hold his head right an assist
ant pulls 1t downward by the long hair.
1t is evident that this method, by which
no shock is given to the vertebral col
umn, 80 as TO suspend the cerebral
functions, might, If such thing be
possible allow of sensation after decapi.
tation. A French surgeon, M. Petit
gand was recently present at the execu-
tion OF pirate. Previous to the blow
the attention of the condemned was
evidently fixed upon the visitor. The
head fell In an upright position, the cut
surface upon the sand, thus preventing
the loss Of blood. The eyes were still
fixed on NJ. Petitgand. They followed
him "a be moved to one side, and more
slowly back; then, after an instant,
left him suddenly, while the face ex-
pressed extreme anguish, the anguish
of one who is suffocating.
The mouth then opened violently, as If
to take last breath, and the motion
caused IL to roll over. M. Petitgand
thinks that the phrase "bite the dust"
originated in this last action of de-
capitated head. On other occasions, at
these executions, M. Petitgand has seen
the body (Which cannot fall, since it is
tied to stake, the prisoner kneeling)
rise up after decapitation, As though to
take up vertical position, and do this
several times, each time with less force.
Each elevation was accompanied by a
jet of arterial blood, and it is probable
that these Jets, caused by the last heart
beats, are the cause Of the movements.
M. PetitRand believes, what from physi-
illogical consideration seems reasonable,
that tits quite possible for conscious.
ness to subsist for a short period after
decapitation when no shock has been
given TO the nervous system by prev.
ious blow upon the vertebral column or
skull. The guillotine is almost certain
to strike the backbone and thus shock
consciousness out of existence, but in
decapitation with a sharp sword there
is:the probability thatlsensation subsists
in the head until the brain is deprived
of blood by hemorrhage. Thus care
should be taken, in sheer humanity, to
arrest consciousness before decapita.
tion.

Democratic Discord in N ew j ersey.

TRENTON, July 29.-The State House
faction of the Democracy has just put
in another hook to sustain its newly &C.
quired hold upon the State machine to
the exclusion of Albeit & Co. Andrew
jackson Smith, of Highstown, who has
teen anxious to retire from politics for
some time, has resigned from the State
COMMITTEES, and Senator George O.Van-
derbilt, of Princeton, succeeds him.
Vanderbilt has been one of the Gov
ernor's most bitter opponents since a
quarrel over the appointment Of q
prosecutor for Mercer County last win
ter. He attempted unsuccessfully to
defeat the confirmation by the Senate OF
the Governors max, and afterward
lost no occasion to get in q blow at the
Governor, even voting with the Repub-
lican Senators on several important
matters in the exciting contest between n
the Governor and the Senate over the
appointment of the State Assessors un-
der the new tax law.
Secretary of State Kelsey has re-
Gently been at Albany comforting with
Cleveland, and has made himself the
head of the Democratic machine in
New jersey. Abbett's temporary dis.
like at Cleveland's nomination has cost
him the leadership, and he has since
been endeavoring to catch up with the
procession, before it gets out of
sight.
Other changes in the State Commit
tee are expected soon and the whole
machinery of the party il in a disor-
ganized condition, while the working
mems bolt to Blaine is spreading like
wildfre, and the ranks Of the Republi-
can kickers" in the northern part of
the State are suffering daily. The Re-
publican Committee has been hard and
harmoniously at work for a month and
is taking ample advantage of the de-
moralization in the ranks of their
enemy.

Excitement at LewisyiuIe.

The Oxford Press says that Lewis
Vile, Chester County, Pa, was the
scene Of considerable excitement one
day last week. George B;les and
portion of his family went away leav-
ing two little children and the hired
girl at home. During their absence
the girl went into the cellar to draw
some vinegar, when the spigot flew out
of the barrel. She put her finger in
the spigot hole to stop the flow of Vine
gar and in her excitement screamed
murder" The children were badly
frightened and one of them ran out in
to the road and also screamed murder.
John Hughes, who was near by, heard
the screams and ran into the house to
render assistance. He picked up q
butcher knife that was lying on the
table and descended into the cellar.
when he soon discovered what was the
matter. By the time the spigot was re-
placed in the barrel and the flow of BIZ
vinegar-stopped, quite a number of
people had been attracted to the house
by the cries of alarm.

w'ieh President Andt trsoD, of Roches-

cleveland in the early part of the lat.
ter's administration. The letter ap-
proves one Of the Governer's vetoes. and
the object In publishing it at this time
Is to create the impression that DR..
Anderson Is In favor Of Cleveland for
President. This illusion is at once dis
pellad by the following interview with
President Anderson, in which he spoke
% follows:
did not vote for Cleveland for
Governor, and declined to sign q paper
circulated by the Rochester Indepen.
dents as call for their recent meeting.
l shall not vote for Cleveland ,and have
reached this conclusion irrespective of
the charges made against his private
character by Mr.. Purcell. Many of
Mr.. Cleveland's official acts, especially
in the early part of his administration,
l approved, as d id many persons of ali
parties, but this does not furnish suf-
fcient reason why ! should vote for
him for President. While 1 do not ac-
cept Mr.. Blaine's views on the tariff
question his outline of general policy in
reference to foreign affairs, and es-
|pecialy on civil service reform, seems
to me to be all that should be desired.

1t will be carried forward by number
Of men of both parties, but l would
rather trust the settlement of the de
tails to Republican Administration
than to party that follows Cleveland.
The Republican party represents more
Immediately the industr ial interests of
the country, both in the form of labor
