Easton star.
When the Eastern Shore railroad was
chartered somewhere about 1886, and the
state appropriated 81 ,000,0 900 to aid in
building it, General Emory of Queen
Anne's, was president, General Sewell Of
Cecil, was one of the directors, and Col.
Karney of the United States engineer
corps, was chief engineer. Mr.. John
Mcdowell Goldsborough of this county,
was employed as assistant engineer, to
make the survey. After the survey was
completed General Sewell was urged to
put the whole road, from Elkton to Snow
Hill, under contract, have the road graded
before the meeting of the next Legislature
the opinion being prevalent, that if it was
not done, the ensuing legislature would
take the appropriation from the Eastern
Shore. Colonel Karney was in distant
state, and General Emory was away, and
Gen. Sewell declined to allow the contracts
to be made, not believing that the legisla
ture would revoke the appropriation. The
road was not put under contract, and the
| legislature did take from the Eastern
Shore the appropriation at the next SEES
sion. Had the contract been made ant
the road built the Peninsula trunk lint
would now be in Maryland instead o
Delaware.

John Chandler, middle,aged colored
man, who lived near Hockeasin, was
missed from his usual haunts last week.
No one could account for his whereabouts.
Tuesday a party who visited the old
lime quarry near the town noticed ON the
bank of stagnant pool Of water in the
quarry indications that somebody had
fallen in. 1t was at once suspected that
the mystery OF the disappearance OF John
Chandler would be solved by finding his
body in the pool, which was dragged and
body was found TINT had every appear
anoe Of having been in the water for some
time, but which was easily recognizable
as that of Chandler.
The dead man had been dissolute in bill
habits of late and was drinking hard, ant
it is believed that he wandered into tn
quarry and rolled into the silent poo
while too much intoxicated to make tn
effort to save himself. No foul play i
suspected. Chandler had wife an'
several children, who live near Hockessin

Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Jouraa
NEWARK, Oct. 28.-By order of the
local chief of the Knights OF Labor, the
weaver's employed in the Dean WOODEN
mills. some 20 in number, quit work
about . O'Clock tnia morning, necessitat-
ing the stoppage of the entire works.
One of the departments, in which about
30 hands are at work, will run until TO-
night the others ARE already idle.
The strike was not for higher wages |;
there is no question of wages in the
matter; hut was brought about hy an
alleged grievance on she part OF one OF
the weavers. Yesterday this weaver was
laid off for few hours while his loom
which had gotten out of running rider,
was being fixed. He was told to come
back to work when this WAS done.
Dnring the afternoon the image
was repaired, but the weaver refer oil r.
did not show up. On coming TO the mill
this morning he found another maj at las
loom and was told by the foreman rat he
might consider himself discharged. This
led TO the strike. The mill emplo, rs are
on the streets, orderly, but having great
| deal to say.

between the employees and the Dear

afternoon and lasted from 8 until
O'Clock, and resulted in an amicabl'
settlement whereby the entire numoer o
employees start again this morning.
There are many contradictory state
ments made as to the justification vt tn
discharge, yet it may be said to the sredi
of the Knights of Labor that ever! thin
was done peacefully and without vic lence

AFTERNOON SESSION.

THE VOLCANO OF KILEAuEA-The Homo
lulu Commercial Adrertiscr of the 18th in
slant, Just received by the steamer Mar
aroa, has reports of threatening changes in
the crater of kileauea. The bottom seems
to have dropped out, and Halmaumau and
New Lake have disappeared. A letter
from the Volcano House says that on the
evening OF March 9th both Old and New
Lakes were unusually full and brilliant with
molten lava. About $50 p. NJ. a series of
earthquakes, forty-three in number. began.
lasting until morning. The first three
were slight, but the fourth quite severe.
and almost simultaneously the fire disap-
peared from New Lake About 9 or 3 A. NJ.
the fires of Halmaumau also disappeared.
In the morning it was discovered that all
the bluffs around Halmaumau, some of
which are 600 feet high, the route between
New and Old Lakes, and piece of the
mountain side of Old Lake had fallen in.
leaving only vast chasm, in which no fire
was visible. The phenomenon of the sud
den extinction of the fires of Kileauea has
several times, and has generally
been the precursor of renewed activity of
the volcano.
