The Mccall Badly Damaged.

On Tuesday afternoon while tie
steamer $. A. Mccall vas making her 2
O'Clock tripfrom Wilmington to Penns-
grove, when about nile from the
mouth of Christiana River, the strap
which holds the connecting rod to the
crank of the shaft broke. Mr.. Ezekiel
Denny, the engineer, came near being
hit by a piece of machinery which fell
from above at. his feet. Before he
could stop the engine, the piston made
IN up stroke with such force, the bal
ance.sbeing gone, as to break mary OF
the bolts which held the cylinder head,
tearing it loose. The piston rod broke
aud the piston in falling broke the bot
tom of the cylinder. The walking
beam, the condenser, the guides, and,
IN fact, all the principal parts of the
machinery are broken or damaged so
that they will have to be replaced with
new parts. Considerable excitement
was created among the passengers.
Que lady was going to jump. overheard.
The steamer floated up the river with
the tide and was towed to the Penns-
grove wharf by several fishing skiffs,
as there was no tug cal. The dam
age is estimated to be between $4,000
and $1,000 by the Denny Brothers who
will meet with a great loss by the ac-
cident. On Wednesday tire McC all
was taken to Harlan s. Holliuswerth's
ship-yard in Wilmington where she
will be fitted up with new machinery
at once.

many rich in this comfortably

time when we shall really need
to advertise for the trade of the

we sell it so that he needn't
get into the hands of sharpers.

These people that come in night after night,

you reporters. That's business with you
but these men who rush in here, grab the
book and hold it for five or ten minutes
while some ones waiting, although gen.
orally take it away from 'em in that case.
But the chances are that want it to check
off, and it may be almost the last chance
I'll get. Then to have one of these crea-
lures keeping you back is enough

these perennial stiffs. these human hyenas,
they'll never ask me if So-and-So is here.
They don't want to know. They
simply do it to keep up show
of having some business here.

AGAINST THE DOCTOR.
Deacon Wilson Working Up the
AfffGaVits.


Mrs. Rayson was seen by GLOBE re-
porter at her residence on lglehart street
last night, and she was found i'll an eX-
ceedingly amiable mood. She still! firmly
adhered to her allegations as published. that
DIR. Mclean is a crank, and stated that
while boarding at her house he tried to IN
duce her to place herself under his profess
sional treatment, but she refused to
do so. Just before the reporter
arrived at the house. Deacon Will
son left, and Mrs. Rayson said
he had been there to consult with her in re-
gard to aftidavits that were being made out
against DR.. Mclean that would be used in
the investigation which would be held by
the proper officials of the church.
1.-The GLOBE would be glad to publish
the affidavits, > said the reporter.
''They are not for the papers, sir," was
the reply, ''they are for private USE"
''What people are making these affida-
yits?" continued the reporter.
''They are people who know what they
are talking about, and whose word can be
relied upon, but 1 am not at liberty to give
their names,' was the reply.

public. I don't know as ought to kick
about them, unless they bother me OF get in
the way of the guests.
''But say, what do you think actually
took place last Sunday evening? Yes,
actually occurred-pon the honor of room
clerk. A very respectable-appearing old
gentleman walked up to the desk. went
through the usual racket of sticking the
pen at him, swinging the book around and
did the facial cantortion act you call a
SMILE No, thank you.' he said, L do
not care to register. Can you tell me at what
time church service begins to-night?' Well,
| didn't know from actual knowledge, but
I said half past seven.' Can / sit down
here and walt?' says he. Certainly 1
said. He started off, but came back and
asked: Can smoke in here?' Well, I
was stumped, but / managed to get cigar
out of my pocket and insist upon his smok
ing it. Ii I'd had box would have
given it to him. He was a glittering ex-
ception to the general rule, and rather
caught me. You know hotel clerks enjoy
novelties as well as other people.
'.Am ever bothered by the guests with
useless questions? Certainly, but that's all
right as long as they pay their bills. That's
what Pm here for, just the same as the rest
of the furniture of the place-'for the use
of the guests They can ask
me the same question hun
dred times, or have fifty bell
boys, if they want to. just as long
as they pay the price. It's these internal
beats and sponges that Pm kicking about.
I wouldn't even do that, only I've got to
work the bile off my system and it's too
late to take a ride or walk
this evening. WE'LL hope
| havn't bored you with any grumbling. I
don't do it as general thing, but you know
there is limit to human endurance. All,
here's the 10 o'clock train. Front. there!
Be lively. three or four of you and carry in
the gentlemen's valises. Are you off?
Good night. Thanks, feel better now.
Drop in again."
And the reporter went out on his round,
carrying with him the impression that a
hotel clerks berth is not necessarily bed
of roses, and that there are some annoy
ances to which he is constantly subjected
which would drive ordinary mortals to the
inebriate asylum or the mad house.

The Irish League.

The Irish National league met last night.
The attendance was extremely light and
but little business was transacted. An in
vitation from the Hibernian Rifles to the
league to visit the anniversary celebration
of the Manchester martyrs, Allen, Larkin
and O'Brien, to be held at Pfeifers
hall Tuesday evening, Nov. "a, 1885,
was read and accepted. 1t was stated
that charter had been received from the
executive making the st. Paul league a
branch of the Irish National League of
America, to be known as League No. 622.
The executive committee was instructed to
procure hall for the meetings more cell
trally located than Hibernia hall, and sug-
gested that if possible they get one on
Wabasha or Seventh street. The meeting
then adjourned one week,
