At the funeral of Mrs. Lydia l.. Hum
phry, Sunday afternoon, the Rev. j. b..
Parmalee, pastor of the New Jerusalem
Church, said that there is i'll reality no
such thing as death. What is called
death is but nm orderly step in life.
Human life, once conferred, is immortal.
The earthly body is not and never was
alive, any more than the suit of clothes
which the man wears. II only seems to
live while inhabited by its immortal
tenant. The body is merely the house
which the real man within builds around
him and dwells in during his stay in
this world when he has done with
it, il is cast aside, like worn out suit of
clothes, never again to be taken ON by
the freed spiritual tenant. The inner
spiritual man, complete in every respect
us he existed in and Thought, acted and
wins manifest through the medium Of his
cast-off house, enters mt once upon n
higher, broader and eternally expanding
sphere of existence in world where
there is no growing old, no sickness, none
of the drawbacks which hnmpered his
growth and development while clothed
in his worldly garment. The body
ia utterly material and mortal
and after death returns TO its
primitive elements the real man who
temporarily inhabited it is spiritual and
immortal, and what we call death is to
him the gateway through which he passes
into the spiritual world and thence, OF
his own volition and choice, eventually
into that department of heaven or hell fol-
which he has fitted himself by his pre-
paratory life in this world and to which
he goes of his own free will precisely as
he seeks the society and surroundings
most congenial to him while in this world

DEsrR UorIrg COUNTRY FIRE.
A Barn Near the New Almshouse
Rurned by Incendtaries.

burned by Encendiaries.
Fire was discovered Sunday after
noon, few minutes before 8 O'Clock, in
the hay barn of George White, tenant of
Mrs. Colonel Andrews farm, near the
new almshouse. The building contained
COW stables and feed rooms The flames
spread rapidly and it soon became APP
parent that the structure was doomed,
Near the burning building were straw
barn and several other structures, and MIR.
White and some of his neighbors set to
work to save them. Shedding connecting
the two barns was torn away and wet
blankets were put upon the roof of the
straw barn. A son of Mr.. White drove to
the city to secure assistance and the
Washington Fire Company sent her
engine and hose carriage and the Reliance
her hose cart. They reached the fire
about o'clock and quickly extinguished
the flames.
The hay barn was destroyed. II was
100 feet long, 90 feet wide and 30 feet
high and valued at $4,000. There were
in it about rs tons of hay, valued
at 81 500, on which there was nm insur-
ance of 5000 in the Farmers Mutual In
surance Company of this city. On the
building there was IN insuranceof 81 900
placed by the same company.
Two suspicious looking men were seen
near tho premises during the afternoon
and the origin of the fire is supposed to
be ineendiary. Mr.. White was in the
burned bnrn five minutes before the fire
was discovered and then there were no
signs of the conhagration.

AS was expected, the presence Of the
circus in the city Monday afternoon and
night resulted in an unusual number
of arrests, and the session OF the City
Court this morning lasted over nm hour.
Judge Cummins presided and the record
was as follows:
Alonzo Bailey, colored, was tried for
drunkenness at the circus grourds and
hourishing revolver, which was found
in his pocket when he was arrested by
Officer WEIGH. He pleaded guilty to
drunkenness through his counsel, Walter
Bacon, Esq, but In regard TO carrying
the pistol Harry Boyer, eolored, was
called and testified that the pistol had
been previously offered to Bailey by
William Dengle, colored, and when
Bailey refused to take il Dengle
forced the weapon into Baileys pocket.
Bailey was very drunk at the time, and
hnlf an hour later he was arrested.
Jefferson White, colored, corroborated
this testimony, and Bailey's mother said
she had not known him to have re-
volver for two years. Alonzo was fined
So and costs for drunkenness and dis
missed on the charge of carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons.
Frank Cameron and John Hazel, with
blackened eyes and cut heads, were next
arraigned, and Officer Bernhard testified
that they were drunk at the circus
grounds Monday afternoon, and were
subsequently found lying OF the grass
after fight behind one of the tents, and
were brought to police station. The vic
Tins said they did not know by whom
they were assaulted. They were released,
their injuries being deemed sufficient
punishment for their drunkenness. 1t is
supposed they were assaulted by circus
men while trying to get under the tent.
John Ward, arrested by Special Officer
Foster for drunkenness, and trying to
jump ON freight train, said he was q
circus employee, working on the tents, and
thought he was getting on the circus
train. He was DESTROYS of rejoining the
show at Chester and Judge Oummins
ordered him to be discharged ut noon.

The Kent Neaos says the sale of the
household furniture of the late Miss Caro-
line Thompson, who died recently in
Chestertown, in her Tooth year, took
place ut the old residence, on Princess
street, some days ago. The attendance
was large and good prices realized. A
china bowl about 10 inches in diameter,
and apparently of very ordinary character,
caused the greatest competition. It was
struck off TO II: g. Chase Mt $50. 1t
was the old lady's baptismal bowl and
supposed to be 200 years old-originally
the property of her northumberland
for this reason desirable as family relic.
II may yet remain in the family. An old
fashioned arm chair, worth intrinsically
about 10 cents, was purchased by Mrs. W.
j. Vaunort, at good price. The old hall
clock, which probably has had no tick for
mn age, caused lively bidding, M. Il.
Goslee got the relic finally for SiS9.

About 10000 Peopto nc the Silow
DHonday-The Rain Keeps Many

Away.
There were nearly 10000 admissions to
BaInun's tents Monday afternoon and
evening Az the former performance
there we're abont - 600 people in at.
tendance, but owing 30 tho rain in the
evening there were only between 6,000
and 1000 under the mammoth canvas.
fhc rain fall created big deficit in the
trensurer's pile, probably in round num-
bers $4,000. The performance WAS the
same MS in the afternoon, except that the
actors were handicapped by the wet con
dition of the arena and the chilling at
mosphere. Directly after the assemblage
had dispersed the work of taking down
the tent and removing it to the train
began. and il being wet the work was ac-
coinpanied with much officially, Int was
accomplished in time for the circus to get
an early start for Dover.
A representative Of the managers stated
yesterday that although Wilmington was
great circus town shownen always
dreaded exhibiting here because of the
rough element which gathered about the
canvas, and use every possible means ut
hand to create disturbance.
All the unemployed men were kept on
police duty during the day and evening,
with detachment Of police, and through
their united efforts comparatively good
order was maintained.
Barnum has actually lost money this
season owing chiefly to the great stretch
Of disagreeable weather and numerous
rainy days. The expenses of the show are
enormous, amounting to nearly 10, 900 per
day, beside railroad tolls which vary from
~, 900 TO 5000 additional. Added to
the losses of the season is the death of
Jumbo, the most serious of all, inasmuch
us the monster cannot be replaced. The
circus firm say that the elephants death
is the loss of a-half million
of money, inasmuch as the show
goes to Europe next year, and
Jumbo was to be played MS
the star card. sold Man Barnum,"
as the great Snowman is called in an of
| season like this takes his losses with ba
grace and the circus people are literally
| in warm water when he is with the show
| during bad season. The cash out of
| pocket this year OK ,lusive of the loss in
| Cured by Jumbo's death will be about
| 100000, which is heavy Offset to
previous years figures, when the earnings
have reached nearly half million.
Despite the rain at night the circus,
| it is estimated, took away between
| $4,000 and $751; ms the gross receipts
/ of its performances.
