Runaxxay ON one sldewaIk.

A horse belonging to A. Donahoe, milk
man, living near Edge Moor, which was
attached to milk sled, ran away at noon
Friday. The animal took fright in front
of st. Paul's NJ. Z. Church, on Market
street, above Seventh, turned suddenly
around and sprang on to the pavement.
He then ran down the pavement 10 Fifth
street, where it looked as though he
would plunge through the window of
Baynard's jewelry store. The sled, how
ever, struck the awning post, breaking it
at the top, which overturned it, and the
sudden jerk tore off the single-tree. The
horse then dashed down Fifth street and
in turning the corner of Shipley slipped
and fell on the cellar door in front Of
Bucher's saloon, where man held down
its head while the owner removed the
harness, when the horse regained its feet
and was led away. The sled sustained nc
damage beyond the breaking of the
single-tree. 1t was almost miracle, con
sidering the route taken, that no more
damage was done.

New York Times.
But it will be we'll for the people of the
United States to understand the precise
limits of the ''Pan Electric scandal" and
TO be on their guard against the efforts of
the Bell Telephone Company and its
newspaper organs to use this miserable
Pan Electric business to undo what has
been done by the government in the
proceeding to test the validity of its patent.
The New York Sun has attempted to drag
Secretary Lamar into this scandal and to
create the belief that his just and sound
opinion declaring that suit should be
brought by the government to test the
validity of the Bell patent is tainted by
it. No honorable man, and certainly
no honorable journalist, would attach the
slightest weight to charges made against
any public man by the New York SUn.
And as il has lately become apparent that
that newspaper occupies tho relation not
merely of an apologist but of defender
and attorney to the Bell Telephone Com
pany, its comments upon Secretary
Lamar's course are entitled to the same
weight as the utterances of any other ad-
vocate employed by the Bell Company,
and to no more. Secretary Lamars
opinion is its own justification and his. 1t
opens the way to the use of the only
| remedy against the public wrong of the
| fraudulent and indefensible Bellmonopoly
which is now possible and adequate,
or ever was possible and adequate. The
persistent misrepresentation of the or
Rans of the Bell Campany, their eager
| 10 kba ,,fnxrfuiApo of N
| Revised Statutes and private actions as
the proper remedies for the wrongs the
Bell Company has put upon its rivals and
the people, and their zeal to refer the
whole question to the Supreme court
upon the appealed cases are impotent Of
no avail against the solid foundation of
truth and justice upon which the decision
of the Secretary of the Interior is based.
That decision cannot be successfully ut
tackled any more than Mr.. Lamar's motives
in making it can be successfully I'M
pugned. To have denied the application
for q hearing of the case against the Bell
Company in tribunal where all the evi.
denee upon the fraud issue could be in
troduced and passed upon-and this can
be done only in the government suit
would have been n great public wrong
and great public misfortune. The Bel
company opposes this hearing onlybecaust
il fears the result. 1t knows the structura
weakness of the corporate edifiee it hai
erected upon the slender foundation o
Bells fraudulently amended patent o
1876, and it will count itself cheaply de
livered from its present perils if the ex
penditure of million of dollars il
stimulating the uproar over the irreleyan
PAN Electric issue and in decrying tn
governmt nt's course shall secure til,
arrest of the proceedings under Secretar,
Iainars decision. The public is fairl.
and fully warned of the designs of thi
extortionate monopoly. It may rest as
sured that this criminal and corrup
league of an insolent corporation wit
venal newspapers will not prevail.

LOCAL AND pENINSULAR
REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY OF
NEW CASTLE COUNTY.
An Unknown Crazy Old Woman
Found mt the p, w. q n. Depot
aud Taken 10 the County Aims
hns,ttnc.

An unknown woman, who looked to be
about 40 years of age, was found wander.
ing aimlessly about the p, w. & b. depot
yesterday afternoon week. She seemed
demented and the police station was
telephoned, Janitor Meacham responding
and taking the stranger to police head
quarters. On her way to the city hall
she made an effort to strangle herself by
means of garter which she fastened
around her neck, but the officer took it
away from her and received her male
dictions in consequence. She will give
but little account of herself, has no
money and is poorly clad. Her dress is
brown calico with white spots, and her
head and shoulders were covered with a
red hood and red cape. She has no
teeth, her face is deeply wrinkled and
her complexion somewhat sallow. She is
evidently mild lunatic. In response to
question as to her age she answered
at one time that she was years old, and
at another that she had reached GOO, 900.
She refuses TO. eat. She is traetable
when Turnkey Hanna enters her room,
but drove Janitor Meekam ignominiously
from the room at the point of broom
stick. She wants to be let alone and il
persistently questioned resorts TO her
slipper and drives all before her. She
has stated that she is from Eastport, Me.
That she travelled from there to Bridge
port, Conn, and thence to Bridges,
N. Y. She then got to New York and
Philadelphia, landing ut the latter place
with "three ten cent pieces and four
one cent pieces" She says she gave them
to a policeman and asked him to buy
her ticket as far as that would take
her. The officer put enough to it to
bring her here, where she landed out of
money. The officer in question, she said,
was "a gentleman from the sole of his
head to the top of his foot"
She also says she has son and
daughter living at station 10 miles from
Baltimore, which has been conjectured
to mean Little River, Md, If asked her
name she answers, johnson, Thompson,
fool, fraud, poster, all them's my name"
She was taken to the almshouse Thursday
afternoon.

A FORT UNATE ESCAPE
Fire i'm "a New York Synagogue Sat
urday Morning.

NEW York, Feb. 6.--The new syna-
gogue of the congregation. b Mai Jeshu-
run, in Madison avenue near Sixty-fifth
street, caught fire from an overheated
furnace in the cellar at 0 o'clock this
morning at the hour when the doors were
opened to admit the congregation for the
Sabbath services. The Rabbi, DIR. Henry
s. Jacobs, while putting on his robes dis
covered the fire and SO quick was its pro-
gress that the sacred scrolls in the ark
had to be abandoned to their fate.
A general alarm call summoned the
entire available force of firemen, and the
fire was put out as quickly as it had
started. 1t did $4,000 damage to the
building and furniture. Some of the
valuable records of the congregation,
which il the second oldest in New York,
and only last spring moved up from its
old temple in West Thirty-fourth street,
were lost. Had the fire occurred half an
hour later than it did, disastrous loss of
life must have resulted. as the church
illed with dense smoke in an instant.

PEAcH PROSPECTS.



Thursday night after it quit showing
the wind came out from the northwest
and blew very strong, the thermometer
going down until at z o'clock on Friday
morning it registered % below zero in
most places, but in some extremely ex-
posed points it marked 50 below. 1t is the
severest spell of weather the fruit trees
have encountered this winter. Fruit
buds may not be injured, but it is ex.
tremely dangerous when the thermometer
goes below zero. Everything is favorable
to the fruit, it being dry and the wind
blowing the trees clear of even the sem
blance of snow; but we fear that many
orchards will feel the effect Of Thursday
night.
The severe cold weather of 'S0-81, that
killed the fruit and badly damaged the
trees, is we'll remembered by all. By re-
ferring to our files we see that on Decem-
Der 30th, 1880, snow covered the ground
to the depth of ~ inches, after contin-
uous snow fall of SO hours. The snow

CENrREvILLE, MD, Feb. 5.-The heav.
lest snow of the season fell here Tuesday
night. Wednesday and Wednesday night.
Snow fell for nearly SO hours, and reached
depth Of Is inches. As there was but
little wind it drifted but little. The train
on the Qneen Anne's and Kent Railroad
successfully weathered the snow until
last night. The train had made the
morning trip successfully, and went
to Townsend on the afternoon trip.
On the return at night the train
got stuck in snow drift and remained 80
until this morning. Conductor Corell
was compelled to walk four miles through
the SHOW to reach telegraph station,
where he dispatched for aid. The train
was so badly fastened in the snow as to
require the combined efforts of four
engines to extricate it.
In consequence of the blockade no mail
was received here to-day. The storm wns
severe all over the country, and reports
have been received of severe cases of
frostbites. The mail-driver between Cen
treville and Kent Island was severely
frostbitten. He went on horseback, and
before he reached Queenstown on his
return his horse died, and he had to walk
through nearly two feet of snow to
Queenstown. When he arrived he was
nearly exhausted, aud his feet, hands and
ears were badly frostbitten. The ther-
mometer registered four below zero here
this morning, the coldest weather expe-
rienced here for years.

DREDGERs IN TRoUBL e.
Dangers of n Frozen CenIreboard in

OsN
Dover Sentinel, Feb 6.
Squire TESTERS court was engaged on
Wednesday in hearing the case of the
state VS.. Michael Collins, the captain of
the oyster schooner John Gyant, and all
her crew. They were charged upon the
affidavit of Jacob Hague, the captain of
another oyster vessel, with taking and
carrying away oysters from the grounds
of David S. Smith. The only witness
was Hague who testified that the
schooner John Gyant, commanded
by Captain Collins, was on the
grounds of Smith with her dredges
overheard, and when they saw him they
pulled up and stood over to their own
grounds. which adjoins Smith on the
west. The most singular thing brought
out in this trial was the fact that neither
the oyster collector nor the captain Of the
guard boat knew one plantation from
another. The oystermen keep the run Of
their own grounds.
1t is alleged that in this case if all the
men on board of the Gyant bad not been
included in the charge with the captain
il would have been shown that the day,
two weeks ago Tuesday, was very foggy
and that the Gyant's centreboard well
was frozen and with no wind, the first
thing the crew knew they were over theii
own ground on to Smiths; that i'm
mediately they pulled up the dredges and
shoveled the oysters back on Smith.
ground; that Hague was on Smiths grount
also. But as all the men on the Cyan
were included in the charge this could no
be shown. The justice gave judgmen
against the captain and his crew of 81,
men in $10O each, making 800. Securit,
was given in 81 400, and an appeal taken
when the crew of Hague's vessel will b
summoned to show the facts.
