from there they must got TO their destina-
ton as best they cam As is usual with
travellers, baggage is carried, and with
this necessary burden they alight from
train ut the Fast End with no hacks in
waiting. This places them in a dilemma.
As it now is you can get in a hack at the
station with bundles of whatever de-
scription, and be driven right 10 your
very door. Great accommodation Ger
tainly. This is how the thing stands
now OF course better arrangements may
be made later on. Until they are, those
living at the West End will do well to

Benz. D. Bowen is getting along nicely.
He received severe cash on the back of

Miss Mary Miller has quite curiosity

Wheat is all cut. Oats is looking nice;
grass is being harvested, and the young
corn is growing at the rate of four to six

Another curiosity has come to light.

downfall is partly responsible for the
downfall Of the company. His picture
was displayed in one Of the Sunday pa
pers, and il it is true likeness, the man
must surely have been fool to have
broken up homo to win her for mis-
tress. She lives up town, and has had a
very checkered life, fitting from place to
place until now she is only living on the
ragged age of her stolen riches. Mr..
Gillingham, the president of this corpo-
ration is a very estimable man, and never
would have condoned such parties as the
former president allowed, while he was
president. Mr.. Gillingham was presi-
dent Of the Seventeenth street Passenger
Railway previous to his being made the
chief officer of the men implicated has
not been discovered, but Wilson's officers
is no less penal than Lesley's, and long
time in the peniteniary will surely fol-
low their capture.
The Episcopal convention of this Do
cesc has nominated Bishop Whitaker, of
Nevada, for assistant to Bishop Stevens.
Although low churchman was elected
by the high church wing of the conven-
ton 90 as to break the force of an cleo
ton by the low branch, who are in a ma
jority. Bishop Whitaker is a missionary
Bishop, and considered hard worker,
and has considerable pluck, for it has
been an uphill work with him in the
mining State, as the populations has real
ly decreased with in the last ten years
until now its population is less than
would entitle it to admission to member
ship in the American Union.
Base ball will be again with us the
latter end Of this week, as both clubs
have been west. The Philadelphia club
has done possibly fair on the second SER

their friends. The managers SAY they
want new players, but people aver it is
new managers they should have.

Natural Curiosity.

R. L. Wilson of East Nottingham is
raising a new kind of stock-double
headers. lie has on his premises a calf
now over a week old, which is a curiosi-
ty. 1t has double forehead, double
nose and eyes set around far back on
each side of its head. This freak of ma
ture was at last accounts doing well, al
though it had not yet got steady on its
legs. Mr. Wilson has not yet decided
whether to go into the show business
alone and run Barnum off the track of
greatest show on earth," or sell out his
right, title and interest in the double
countenanced bovine for fabulous sum
and retire from business. P. S.-His
geological garden is visited daily by
hungry sight-seers.-0Jord Press

Honorably Discharged.

William q. Bradford, who left this

phia, returned home, last week, He re-
ceived for his department and excellence
a diploma, and aside from this honor
carried ofthe silver medal offered in the
Department of Handicraft. Mr.. Brad

ments. He selected for his trade broom
making, and through his skillful work
manship in this branch, won the medal.

TEN MEN BLOWN 10 ATOMS.


A terrible explosion occurred at the
Atlantic Dynamite Company's works at
Kenvil Station, New Jersey, at quarter
to s O'Clock on Friday morning last,
whereby ten men lost their lives. The
disaster occurred in the mixing establish
ment, which was totally destroyed, and
the earth surrounding it torn up over a
considerable area. The men were pre-
pairing to mix for the days work and
were all in the building. The works of
the company are scattered over 800 or
400 acres of the ground, there are be-
tween 80 and 40 buildings on the premi-
ses. The company employs about 100
men. In the yapor or Westinghouse
about 10 men are usually employed.
The Westinghouse consisted of two semi
detached brick building on the side Of
hill. Two or three of the buildings arc
also of brick, but most of them are small
frame sheds. This is probably one of
the most extensive manufactures Of its
kind in the country.
There was nothing left of the establish

The Jubilee on the Third.

with great deal of anxiety by all who
purposed to take part or attend the iubi-
lee held in Cannon's Woods, near Salem
The heavy rain on Friday laid the dust
and cooled the atmosphere, and the
long-looked -for-day dawncd bright and
clear Early that morning, the work Oh
arranging for the day commenced, and
WHEN that was completed it was found
that the suns warm rays had sufficiently
dried the grove for the OCCASION Soon
the visitors began to arrive and contin-
ued to so and come during the day. At
2 O'Clock in the afternoon it was noticed
that nearly all the members of Newark
Lodge, No. 3, Christiana Lodge, No. 8,
and large delegations from Fair View
Lodge, No. s, and Diamond State Lodge
of Delaware City, No. 16, Of Indepen-
dent Order Of Good Templars; repre-
sentatives of the various Sabbath Schools
and Churches of the neighborhood to-
gether with many other friends were on
the ground. Rev. Joseph Dare, pastor of
Christiana charge presided and after a
few words Of explanation and prayer,
Rev. j. F. Williamson of this place was
introduced, and read the Declaration of
Independence. Rev. J. II, Wiley of
Delaware City was introduced as the
speaker Of the afternoon, and held his
audience in close attention. After few
humorous remarks Mr.. Wiley spoke
briefly of our Nations prosperity and
greatness, and how through the infinite
wisdom of God, every movement made
in the past resulted to our country's best
interest, and therefore the fact could not
be denied that Gods hand was in the
movements. After the speaker had
shown just what we could boast of as Il
Nation, he then showed what we lacked
and how detrimental it would result to
future development. Fraudulent cleo
tions, Sabbath breaking and labor
troubles were hastily touched upon. OF
the latter Mr.. Wiley said "The trouble
existing to-day in our country said to be
between capital and labor is incorrect.
Any man who can save $500 and buys
n hoe, is capitalist in every sense Of the
word. Laborers to a certain degree are
just as much capitalists in proportion as
those who possess and control large
amounts. The difficulties exist between
monopolies and labor, the former which
should be held in check by onr govern
ment. In this country men try to get
rich too fast. A man who enters into bus
mess with 81 900 and withdraws at the
end of the year with $4,000 in hand, has
cheated somebody out $4,000 of the
$1,000" The speaker paid a glowing
tribute to women as to their power in
connection with the ballot box. The re-
mainder of the lecture treated princi-
pally of the temperance question which
was handled in mastery manner. The
address was plain and practical, being in
keeping with the times and condition Of
affairs, and reflects a great deal of credit
upon the Rev. J. II. Wiley. Cakes were
then presented to Revs. Dare and Wiley
