The distance from the depot to the
postoffice was measured yester-
day to ascertain whether or not
the mail will have to be delivered by
the railroad company. The distance
was found to be / ,46O feet, and the
company will therefore not have te
deliver the mail. The law does moi
compel them deliver it if the dis
lance is more than so rods. When
the new Office is finished, however
it will be much closer the depot, and
the company will then be compelled
to deliver the mail.

The Washing Problem solved.

The chief argument used by the ladies against the removal of the Chinamen is the difficulty of getting washing done.
 The force of this argument has been re- moved by a modern invention-the "Lit- tie Joker" washing machine. This ma- chine is light, simple, cheap and durable. A child, or weakly woman, can work it. It saves more than two-thlrds of the time and three four,hs of the labor. It washes clean and saves wear of clothes. Call and inspect it. Mrs. Grant, agent.

which. it is said, effectuaily accomplishes
that purpose, namely, by combining
chloride of zinc with the pulp 10 the
course OF manufacture. 1t has been
found that the greater the degree Of con-
ceutration of the zinc solution the greater
will be the toughness Of the paper, and

AN ISLAND ON FIRE.
Terrific Volcanic Eruption Near Tonga
Island. ,
rs. F. Call, November 20l

to' - Oohp ANV'SAAS~A ~
News has been received at Fiji Of a
volcanic eruption in the Island OF Nina
Foou, . dependency Of Tonga. The
island is some distance from the Friendly
Islands group and contained population
OF about 1000 natives, among whom
lived also three European traders. Al
though of volcanic origin, Nina Foou has
been in quiescent state for over thirty
years, the last outbreak having occurred
in 1853, when a dreadful eruption took
place. at the end of August last the
first warnings OF the impending outbreak
were received, and for "a hours before
the eruption lightning flashes of the most
vivid description, heavy claps of thunder
and violent earthquakes were almost con-
tinuous. On the 3lst o! the month,
after one convulsive throe, the earth
crust gave way, and pillar of fire rose
into the air to > height Of 1000 feet.
Columns OF scalding water, hot stones
and burning dust were emitted and fell
in dense masses on the greater portion OF
the island to depth Of twenty or thirty
feet. All vegetation was destroyed, and
what were previously verdant fields were
now converted into sterile plains. All
the villages except two were destroyed,
some being imbedded twelve feet below
the present surface. The eruptions con.
tinusd for ten days. but it was not until
the twentieth day that the vibrations OF
the earth entirely ceased. Fortunately
the loss of life attributable to the disaster
has been small. No one, 80 far as known,
was actually killed by the outburss, but
FIVE old men since died from the shock,
and several others are reported missing.
Two or three vessels have been chartered
by the Tongan authorities to succor the
inhabitants of the island. No further
outbreak is anticipated. ..4
An Auckland, New Zealand. special
of November 81 says Intelligence from
Tonga states that the Island of Nina
Foou, where the late volcanic eruption
occurred. is now quiet, but that an ad
joining island has broken out into active
eruption.

| The Rehoboth Beach improvement
committee met at Rehoboth Saturday, AND
Monday. and decided to build bulk
head 300 feet long On the beach, to re-
place the one that was washed away dur.
ing the winter. 1t was also decided Ia
erect row of spring piling outside of the
breakwater.
The building of the bulkhead was be-
gun Monday morning under the superin-
tendence of John r. Dick. The work
will be done by the day and about two
weeks will be consumed, in completing it.
Owing to the nearness of the opening of
the season the contemplated board walk
will not be hid at present.
John A. Manning is erecting two
storied addition to his store and will keep
first-class confectionery store and ice
cream saloon during the summer. John
D. Marshall and family of Philadelphia
have already taken possession Of their
cottage.

year will not have it during the coming
season and it is doubtful whether il will
be opened.
Beginning with Monday next train
will be run to the beach daily. It will
leave this city at $50 p. m. George A.
Dadmun, general ticket agent of the
Pennsylvania railroad, was in Georgetown
Monday arranging for the issuance of a
new schedule of trains. In short time
several fast trains will be run from Phila-
delphia and Baltimore to the beach.
The railroad station at Rehoboth is
now undergoing repairs. II is doubtful
whether the railroad company will erect
pavilion or make any of the talked of i'm
provements to its property at the beach.
AS yet there is no mention of the cree
tion of any new cottages.

THE PRISON PAN IN USE.
A strong Vehicle Weighing "A Ton
and n QuavIer.

The new prison, van built by j. Beggs'
Sons, Philadelphia, upon order of the levy
court, was brought into service for the
first time Monday and conveyed IL
prisoners from the New Castle jail to the
courthouse. The vehicle is large, very
substantially built and lined with plate
iron. II is divided into two compart-
ments, one for the men and another for
the women. There is series of ventilat-
ing apertures around the top of the cells
and large ventilator in the roof There
are seats on each side large enough to
accommodate IL persons. The running
gears of the van are finished in light
yellow picked in darker colors, and the
body is deep maroon. New Castle
County Van, No. L." is painted on the
side of the body. The entire vehicle
$500. II was built by Philadelphia firm
as the levy court committee states, be-
cause of its owning and controlling
several important patents which are
of recognized value in the con.
struction of vans. A pronounced
public sentiment against leading untried
prisoners through the streets of the city,
which has been expressed in the press
directed the courts attention toward pro
curing van. Sheriff Ford who has the
transferral of prisoners in his charge also
brought strong arguments to bear il
favor of the vehicle.
Its arrival was awaited at the court
house Monday by large crowd and
as the prisoners emerged handcuffed il
pairs there was q rush of the curious Il
get into the vehicle. 1t was loaded il
the Jail yard Monday morning very quietly
and driven across from New Castle by
pair of powerful horses.
