have it from good authority that the

Local and through freights are lower,
we have an early train that gets to
Philadelphia soon after 10 A. NJ, giving
visitors four hours and a-halfin the city.
Moderate freights and direct communi-
cation will give the peach industry
boom along the line of our railroad and
we may expect that land will improve
in value. The road intends to give
low freights to Lewes on timber and
wood that will encourage the farmers
to clear and improve their lands. At
present the prospect is bright and we
trust it will continue So"

John Roach was building for the Gov
ernment, and he has come down to such
a proper leYel of thought, that he has
made arrangements with Mr.. Roach's
assignees to finish the vessels upon the
terms of the contract which Attorney
General Garland declared of no bind
ing value. The terms of the contract
for finishing the vessels are that the
assignees are to relinquish the shipyardi
plant and materials, without dispute to
the Navy Department, and the work OF
completion is to be carried forward IN
der the SecretaEy's supervision. The
assignees are TO furnish the labor, ma
terials and tools, and are to receive the
full contract price for each vessel. II
however, it should cost more money
than the stipulated price to finish th'
cruisers, the bondsmen are to hol'

Explosion on a Steamboat.

TWO HUNDRED PERSONS IN PERIL.
Dynamite Wrecks the BOw Of the s. NJ.
FeLtOn-Sirteen Persons Injured.
PHILADELPHIA, AUG. 17th.-An ex-
plOsiOn occurred on the steamer S. NJ
FELTON, Just after she had left her dock
on her trip to Wilmington, Monday
morning. AS the boat was opposite
Pier No. 8, South Wharves, the passen-
gers and crew, numbering over 200,
were startled by an explosion which
shook the boat from stem to stern, and
when the smoke cleared away it was
found that the entire forward part of
the vessel above the water-line had
been damaged and a number Ofpassen-
gers injured. The pilOt-hOuse and en-
| tire upper deck were lifted and fell to
the lower deck. The bow presented
scene ofcomplete wreck, Tugs proceed
ed at once to the injured vessel, and
with the assistance of the police tug
WiILiGm S. StOkeLey, which was lying
near by. removed the injured. The
ambulance of the Pennsylvania HOspi-
tai took most of the injured to that in
stitutiOn. Sixteen persons were
wounded, but none killed.
The passengers were mostly women,
taking babies for fresh-air trip on the
river. Their remarkable escape is ac-
counted for by the fact that few OF
them were in the forward end of the
steamer, as the forward canvas awning
had not been set, and the sun shining
there made the passengers seek cooler
spots in the stern of the boat.
The explosive had been placed for.
ward directly in front of the head OF
the boiler. The steamer came from
Wilmington at $50 o'clock, and lay al
her wharf until 10.
The officers and deckhands were
busy, and no attention was paid to the
movements of the passengers. Severa
of them carried baskets, so that bun
die or package might have been carried
aboard without attracting attention.
The official report made to II. +
: Kenney, superintendent of the Phila
y delphia, Wilmington and Baltimor
. Railroad Company, under whose super
8 vision the steamboat is operated says
"The head of the boiler was indente,
and cracked about a foot in length
s The explosion is believed to have bee
$ caused by a cartridge of some kin
