Special Correspondence Of dazette and journal.
NEWARK, Oct. 14.-The first accident
on the b. ~ p. railroad happened on
Wednesday evening at the crossing imme-
diately back of Delaware College. II is,
perhaps, one of the most dangerous CROSS
ings around here, and has fully justified
many expectations in this its first
slaughter. The ST. Louis express, east
bound. due here at 45l p. M, was late
aud running at rapid rate TO make up
time, and came laundering around the
deep curve under grade just as the team
of William Armstrong of Fair Hill, Nd,
started across. or course, there was n
collision, and the component parts Of the
horses anatomy went flying through the
air. Mr.. Armstrong and colored man
in the vehicle were not in the least
injured.
William F. Smalley, of Christiana, the
legislative nominee on the Democratic
ticket, is negotiating for the purchase of
the Harmony Mill property from Mrs. M.
T. Candy Of Wilmington. This is the
site of the old Candy hour mill, and is
situated about three miles east of here,
directly upon the new Baltimore Il Phila-
delphia railroad.
NEWARK, Oct. 18.--Mrs. W. d. Mackey
widow of the late Professor William ID
Maokey, and daughter, have removed tC
Baltimore.
The Delaware City express leaving her,
Mt 10 SO p. NJ, had an accident on Frida!
near the junction, which detained il fo
several hours. The detention was cRuset
by the breaking of an axle on a freigh
car attached to the train. The track wa
badly damaged for some distance, bu
otherwise no injury resulted except to tn
car in question, which was rolled over al

NEWARK, Oct. 20.--William Straugh
of Baltimore has been appointed static
agent for the B. X o. railroad at thi
place. This action on the part of th
company will set at rest the hopes an
fears Of several applicants for the pos
ton from thistown. The situation had b
come one for general speculation and IL
safe to say that the railroad compan
deemed it expedient TO avoid any troubl
in the matter by appointing Baltimol

DR.. Bonwill, formerly of Camden, this

with the discovery OF an 'arch.type"
which, he claims, demonstrates that life
has not been evolved by means of ''inf-
mite variations and, consequently, knocks
the ground from under the evolutionists.

HOUSTON, TEX, Oct. l6.-The Posts staff
correspondent at Beaumont last night tele-
graphs some interesting details OF the great
deluge at Sabine Pass. Ho says that at
places where the water was never over 8
Inches deep since the town was settled two
years ago, the food was 0 feet deep. The
new house OF Bradle GRrnstt was swept
away with his family Of five persons. After
floating two and a-half miles the house
landed on a ridge back Of the town all in
tact and with nobody hurt. The boats that
left Beaumont TO succor the distressed took
large quantities OF drinking water, there
being nothing but salt water for 10 miles
around Sabine Pass. Mrs. John Stewart
and her daughter were separated at their
home when the flood struck the town. The
daughter seized feather bed and the
mothera window frame and thus supported
themselve. After being out all night thew
landed at Aurora on the lake shore, within
half a mile OF each other, each surprising
the other had been drowned. They traversed
10 miles before they were found,

Senator X H. Etlelen.

Our worthy and very able State Senator,
Hon. Richard II. Edeen, and Mrs. Ede!en, re
turned to their home in the county on Friday
evening last after the winter sojourn at the
State Capital. Senator EieleA has heen de
tanned since the adj ournment of the Legislature
in attending to SINE private aH.irs IN Wash
ington, aud on Thursday of last week he ar
gued before the Court of Appeals, at Annspo'
liz, the case of Chapman, administrator o.
ngerferd, vs. DR.. \. J. Smoot, which was
an appeal frem our circuit court. While We
cannot say that cur Senator is looking quite
well, still MS manner with all has been 50 cor
dial and cheerful as would Indicate that be is
not suffering any bodily ailment, and no doubt
the fresh country air and the cheerful look OF
all nature which surrouud. him in bis pleasant
country home, will soon bring back health
full color 10 his counieuanc9. 1t is not our
Mr. Edelen's legislative work, for with the
most of that our people are already familiar,
but we can truthfu!ly say, and We do say with
a feeling of home pride and qualification,
that We know is shared BIZ every honest msn
th, oughout the county, that never has any
county in the whole State of Maryland been
more ably or conseentiously represented in the
Senate chamber at Annapolis than was our
own county of Charles in that last body. Ia
selecting Mr.. Edelen and elscting him to serve
the county in Senatorial capacity our psop'e
have shown much wisdom and forethought,
for they have planted tree that has brought
good fruit of stable and abiding qua ity.
Few men who have served bit ONE term in the
State Legislature have sft hehini them such Il
reputation a. Mr.. Eislen now enjoys from his
legislative colleagues, and from the people Of
the entire State. As has been truthfully said
,. him, by an exchange, he vas never eager to
his seat not a useless word escaped him, bat
when he arose to talk on any sun jet he was
always listened to with careful att-ntiou by
his brother Senators. for they soon found out
that hs never wasted words but would always
thoroughly digest and carefully consider in all
its aspects this matter under discussion before
attempting by his deep and earnest reasoning
to bring bis brother Senators ever to his way
Of thinking Or showing them what VS. best f r
the good government of the State. Our NOR
thy Senator has come home 10 Us after three
months service ia our interest with a laurel
crown of success and victory euciyclag his
brow, for he brings with him the reputation OF
being in intellect aud earnes,aes, the peer Of
any and by far the superior Of the greater
number OF those who Servsi with him 10 the
Senate of the State, and We fee pride and
qualification tAat Charles cnunty's representa-
tive can return 10 bis psopIe with such a
record.
