The Weather for October.

DeVOe, the Hackensack meteorolo.
gist, has attracted considerable atten-
ton of late from the fulfllment of his
predictions. The pleasant weather
which marked the entry of October, in
cluding the thunder of Saturday. was
predicted. From this time on. after
predicting n heavy storm Yesterday in
the Gulf States, he says that on the 9TH
the storm Will reach the Atlantic coast.
causing dangerous northeast gales
along the Middle Atlantic States, and
on the 9Th snow will fall throughout
the Middle States, with very cold
northwest gales, and on the 9th ice will
form in this section.
From the 10th to the 18th clear
bright, pleasant weather will prevail
in this section and dead calm will
extend all along our Atlantic coast.
with tOggy, smoky weather, like In
dian Summer. But on the 10Th the
second storm period will set in. and n
cyclone will form in the southern part
OF the Gulf of Mexico, and on the 10th
1t Will strike the western end of the
island of Cuba, and on the 18th it will
strike Key West, Fla, and on the 10Th
u Will be along the North Carolina
coast, and then disappear out to sea.
And the shipping merchants of New
York may feel happy, for it won't in
teriere with them. And while the cv-

ing heavy rains to fall in New York
State, and heavy SHOWS will fall

The State Fair at Dover was sue
cess as money making scheme, but
hardly a success as an agricultural ex-
hibitiOn. There were few cattle raised
in the State, few horses. no sheep and
only about four pens Of swine. There
were about dozen coOps of poultry
and not much of display of vegetables
or other farm products. Agriculture.
pomolOgy, horticulture and many 9th
er things that an exhibit of the kind is
supposed to foster, were eclipsed by
the racing feature, and healthy compe-
tition III some of the industrial depart
ments was thWarted By the sale of ex-
elusive privileges. But the worst fea-
ture was the omnipresent influence of
which the State Sentinel feels cOnstrain-
ed to say: THE managers will have to
decide before another meeting whether
the fair is to be run by them or the
gamblers; if the latter, then they had
better not open the gates. ."-Erery

a Rrntal Ontrane-

The citizens of Clayton and vicinity
were greatly outraged and excited on
Saturday afternoon over the occurrence
of a similar case to that of Neal which
occurred few years ago The victims
was a white woman, wife of Orson
Gardner, living within a few hundred
yards Of CaspersOn's Mill. The enegrO is
named Charles Robinson, and worked
on the gravel train on the Delaware
railroad in the early Spring. He is
very black, of medium build, weighing
about 100 pounds. The surrounding
country for miles was secured on Sat
urday night and Sunday morning by Is
or 70 white men and two negroes with
out success. A good supply of rope
and tackle was carried with the inten-
tlon OF hosting the fiend on the near
est tree if captured, thus avoiding the
expense of State trial and his proba-
bic or possible release by packed iury.
The negro approached Mrs. Gardner's
residence with piece of meat he had
purchased in Clayton, and asked her TO
cook it for him. She said she mad no
lire but he replied p" it had to be cook
ed" and said he would help make the
lire which was done and while irving
the meat, in turning from the stove to
the door he seized her and accomplish
ed his purpose. AS soon as She was
able she gave information at the saw
mill, but he had made his escape. In
telligence was received last evening
that man had been arrested at ST
Georges that answered the description
OF Robinson, and if so, it will be an easy
matter to identify him.

Sudden Death of a Young smyrnaian.

Ambrose j. Rutledge, corporal in
the U. 5. marine corps, ut ANNAPOLIS.
Md, died in the Naval Academy. on
Saturday, the Baltimore Sun states
from an overdose of laudanum. A let
ter written to his mother and sister
here the first of the week stated that
he was not feeling well but hoped to be
all right in few days. Nothing fur
ther was heard from him until a tele-
gram on Saturday afternoon, to his
sister, Miss Hester Rutledge, clerk in
the pOstOifice, stating that he was dead.
The news was of course a great shock
TO her and her mother, especially as
they were in the dark as to the cause
of his death. He left here five years
ago and had only reached his twenty
fourth year when he died. When a
lad, before leaving here, he exhibited
considerable pluck to make his way in
the world through adverse circumstan-
ces, and was a strong hope to his
mother. His remains were brought on
from Annapolis and inferred here YES
terday. Rutledge was a favOrite
among the marines at the barracks.
In his leisure hours he studied law
with James H. Hodges, of Annapolis.
He was about 25 years old.
His mother and sister here do not
think in any sense that the death was
the result of suicidal intent. He has
for years, they say, been subject to
neuralgia, suffering at times a great
deal of pain, and to ameliorate this
they think he took more than he was
aware of. His time in the marine
service would have expired in about
six months.

THE EUery EUening in speaking of
the success and popularity of the
Morning Journal, of New York, thus
notes the quality that seems to make it
a success as a city paper:
Yet the Journal is only a burlesoue
of a newspaper. One can never be
sure whether any particular one of the
hippantiy dished-up articles which it
so often sets before its readers is fact or
fiction until he has found the news con-
tanned therein cOrrObOrated by some
one OF its more staid contemporaries {;
yet there seem TO be a hundred thous.
and New Workers who relish this sort
of mental pabulum. We regard the
phenomenal success of the Morain0
journal as another exempliication of
the old adage that "it takes all kinds
of people to make a world"

A DECIDED warfare is being waged
against miscegenatiOn in the South,
and when warning will not answer,
the parties are visited in Ku-Klux fash
ion. There was not that manifested
regard for race purity before the war
as now, but that the people are
decidedly averse to having the same
mixed condition of society as is found
in the Spanish settled portions of our
continent, speaks well for Anglo Saxon
VigOr and loftiness.

WOMAN AND HER MIssION.-The

"When pain and sickness rend the

annOints the sufferer with St. Jacobs

rheumatism and neuralgia,-all vanish

THE DeIGwarean saysit believes that
it voices the wishes of the Democratic
party in rejoicing that the Mugwumps
have left them. It says that they left
the party solely for the reason that
they could not rule. The New York
Sun puts it thus:
Are the Mugwamps happier or I'M
happier, now that they have gone
home? Probably a little of both.
They must be delighted to be back in
their old familiar quarters, surrounded
by sympathetic and unchiding faces.
but, on the other hand, they are no
longer the heavy bosses Of the Grand
Mogul type that they aspired to be in
the Democracy The stool on which
they once sat at the foot Of the Demo-
cratic throne has been kicked from un-
der them, and, though that was the
cause Of considerable shock, they
have slid away and landed so easily on

tain breath enough TO say, pleasantly

The Delaware State Fair, always
lucky in having good weather, reioices
in this being the greatest in numbers
in attendance, and, consequently in f.
nancial results of any that have pre-,
ceded it. The exhibits were largely in
excess Of last year, numbering about
1000. Every department seemed to be
filled to OverhOwing, and the products
of the field as well as of the well-skilled
hand were of superior quality. The
fair seems to increase in its scope and
variety, as it should, from year to year,
and it might afford to drop off now the
roulette tables, and various games of
chance that give the young their first
lessons in gambling. The income will
exceed $4,000 and the surplus half as
much.
