A CU(E)RIOUS SPECIMEN.

We saw some curious
specimens of Boys Clothing
the oher day called "Sati-
netts," and warranted nine
tenths cotton. They cost
SI.5o a suit, and the dealer
said There are lots Of them
sold in Washington as all
wool for S2.5o."
We are trying to cater to
the wants of the Washing
ton people, but if you want
that kind Of goods we can't
supply you.
We can, however, show
you the Finest Assortment

Clothing, and we think we
can give you better value
for your money than any

A dispatch was received at Chica-
go on Tuesday afternoon from the
Mayor of Bellcplain, Iowa, to the
effect that an artesian well which
had been sunk to the depth of $50
feet at that place, had burst. Fol
lowing is a description of the terri
BILE power of the flow:
The well was inches in diam
eter This gradually increased in
size and volume until n stream of
water fully sixteen inches in diam
eter was formed, and the upward
force of this stream is equal to the
power of powder or dynamite. The
water in huge volumes is spouting
high in the air, and the supply
seems inexhaustible. Two gigantic
rivers have been formed by this phe-
nominal water burst, which are run
ming through the town at the rate of
twelve miles an hour and carrying
everything before them. Houses and
lives are threatened by this peculiar
freak of nature and the citizens are
appalled, at their impending danger,
which at present they are powerless
to overcome. Finding it impossible
to divert this damaging flood an at
tempt was made to insert 16-inch
boiler iron tubes into the well, but
these were instantly blown out and
forced high into the air. Finding
this plan useless the terrified people
attempted to fill up the aperture
through which this terrible geysel
was spouting its deluge. Fifteen car
loads of stone were emptied into the
well, but these were forced upward
as though propelled by the force o
giant powder. Bags Of sand were
then hastily constructed and cas-
into the well, but these, too, were
hurled into the air. The Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad was call
ed upon for assistance, and instantly
The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1886-09-04

sent large gang Of men to the res
cue. The bridge gang of the county
was also called upon, but up to this
evening no abatement in the flow Of
water was perceptible, and the rush
ing rivers formed by it were washing
the channel it had made deeper and
wider, while the basin formed by
this immense volume of water was
spreading over the lowlands in the
vicinity. The Mayor of Belleplain,
in his last extremity, telegraphed 10
Chicago for the best engineers that
could be secured to come immediate
ly to the spot and use their skill
and energy in attempting to stop
this perilous condition of affairs
City Engineer Artingstall, to whom
the matter was referred, at once start
ed out to find an engineer who
would supply the demand, and sue
ceeded in inducing Engineer Morgan
to undertake the mission. Messrs
Artingstall and Morgan are, however
both are of the opinion that but lit
tie if anything can be done to stoI
the flow of water, but that it may b.
possible to direct the rivers into les
dangerous directions and confn'
them to their channels.

Last Excursion TO Rehoboth.

The last Special Excursion under the
management of the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore Railroad Com
pany to Rehoboth will be run on Thurs
day, September 9th, 1886. An excursion
at this season to the seaside cannot fail
to prove delightful trip. The bathing
is fine, the hotels arc less crowded, and
the beneficial influence of the seashore
may be enjoyed with far greater satisfac-
ton.
The rate has been fixed at an exceed
ing low figure, and this will doubtless
prove the pleasantest trip of the season,

THERE is some talk that the Pro-
hibition party does not amount to
much in this State. We think the
other way. The Democrats have a
dangerous opponent in Hoffecker
and the best of management only
will defeat him. He is growing in
favor with the laboring classes, and
many are going to support him.
Uncle Benny will have to be very
careful in his utterances; do not
think there is a clear field, because
you may be sadly mistaken when it
is too late. We caution the Revern-
cd fraternity about denouncing the
Republican party, Gas one did in
Talley's woods), because there is
where Mr.. Hoffecker will draw his
votes from. The Republicans are

many man could open his bank

may prove otherwise. The only hui

opened to public view, is that there
would be no balance to show.

THE GULF STORM
FURTHER DAMAGE REPORTED TO THE SHIP
PING IN THAT LOCALITY.

GALVESTON, Tex, August 24.-The re-
cent storm proved very Obstructive to
small villages on the Texas coast, and it
will doubtless be months before the full
list of casualties is known. The sloop
Katie G. went to pieces offPelican Island.
The crew were saved. Lying near her,
bottom up, is the sloop Eliza. Her crew
of two men are supposed to have been
drowned. An unknown vessel is report
ed bottom up at Red Fish Bar. The
schooner Livonia Perkins is now lying
bottom up in the bay near Pelican Island.
Two of her crew were lost. The schoon-
or Lottie Mayo is reported ashore near
Indianola. All hands arc supposed to
have been lost. The schooner Lake
Austin is near her, but the crew of the
latter were saved. All the small craft in
the bay from shoal to Edwards Point are
reported to have been lost. The schoon-
err S. w. Perry has gone to pieces in the
Gulf, and her cargo of lumber valued at
$4,000, is strewn along the beach for sew
eral miles Her Captain and cook were
drowned. The remainder of the crew
were saved. 1t is roughly estimated that
the damage done to shipping in the Wei
nifty during the storm will approximate
100000.
The village of Quinlana, at the mouth
of the Brazos River was entirely swept
away, and the schooners Rosa Lee and
Lettie were driven ashore. No lives werC
lost so far as is known. A apecial to th'
NeIrs from Victoria says Indianola is
complete wreck, not more than three o.
four houses having escaped destruction
by the heavy storm which swept owe
the town last Friday morning. DIR. Fish
or the quarantine officer, with his wife
NJ. Malone, Captain Adolph sternbrook
and negro woman named Martha Eli
had narrow escape from drowning
The quarantine station was washed ava
early on Friday morning, and they wer
forced to take refuge in large grove Q
} Spanish cedars that grew near the quaran
tine hospital. For nine hours they clun
to the frail supports before they were re
lieyed. Nearly every house on the uppe
end of the island was swept away. Be-
tic Mead, negro woman, and two chi
dren were drowned. Nearly all tn
sheep and cattle on the island wer
= drowned. Terrible suffering will resu
if immediate aid is not rendered
