Injured and Insane.

Sidney Beach, a brakeman on the Della
ware railroad, about rs years old, was
seriously, If not fatally injured, about 6
o'clock on Saturday evening. He was
standing on top of a freight car, and
when nearing New Castle he was struck
sideways by the top of bridge and
thrown back on the car, striking his head
violently. He was rendered unconscious,
and was taken to his boarding house, No.
412 East Third street. DIR. Draper Ii at
tending physician.
Beach suffered the most serious injury
to the brain. No bruises of any conse-
quence are noticeable except cut on the
right temple, but blood is constantly
oozing from his ear, and since the acci-
dent he has been crazy. His parents,
who live in Delmar, arrived this morning,
but he does not recognize them. Any
attempts made to confine him in bed
results in violent spell, and as he is a
strong man, his attendants are unable to
hold him. He wanders aimlessly about
the house, opening doors and looking in
hooks, without speaking word.

Food Frauds.

| 4 - .
TIE SHAMEFUL USE OF LIME AND ALUM
IN CHEAP BAKING POWDERS.
Many food frauds, such as chicory
coffee or watered milk, although they are
swindIe in commercial sense, are
often tolerated because they do not par
ticularly affect the health of the consum-
or J; but when an article like baking pow
der, that enters largely into the food of
every family, and isrelied upon for the
heaIthful preparation of almost every
meal, is so made as to carry highly injur-
ious, if not rankly poisonous, elements
into the bread to the imminent danger OF
the entire community, it is the duty OF
the press TO denounce the practice in the
most emphatic terms.
Among recent important discoveries by
the food analysis is that by Prof. Mott,
the U. s. Government Chemist, of large
amounts of lime and alum in the cheap
baking powders. These are, one the
most dangerous, and the other the most
useless adulterants yet found in the low
grade, inferior baking powders. It is q
startling fact that of over one hundred diff
ferent brands of baking powders, 80 far
analysed, comprising all those sold in
this vicinity, not one of them, with the
single exception of. the Royal Baking
Powder, was found free from both lime
and alum. The chief service. of lime is to
add weight. 1t is true that lime, when
subjected to heat, gives of certain
amount of carbonic acid gas, but quick
lime is left-a caustic SO powerful that it
is used by tanners to eat the hair from
hides of animals, and in dissecting rooms
to more quickly rot the flesh from the
bones of dead subjects. Asmall quantity
of dry lime upon the tongue, or in the
eye, produces painful effects; how much
more serious must these effects be on the
delicate membranes of the stomach, intes-
tines and kidneys, more particularly Of
infants and children, and especially when
the lime is taken into the system day
after day, and with almost every meal.
This is said by physicians to be one of the
chief causes of indigestion, dyspepsia, and
those painful diseases of the the kidneys
now SO prevalent. Instances OF the most
serious affections of the latter organs
from drinking lime water found in some
sections of the West are noted in every
medical journal.
Adulteration with lime is quite as
much to be dreaded as with alum, which
has heretofore received the most enpha.
tic condemnation from every food analyst,
physician and chemist, for the-reason that,
while alum is probably partially dissoiv-
ed and passed off in gas by the heat 81
baking, it is impossible to destroy or
change the nature Of the lime in any de
gree, so that the entire amounti in the bak
ing powder passes, with all its injurious
properties, into the stomach. When We
state that the chemists have found twelve
per cent or one-eighth OF the entire weigh
of some samples of baking powder
analysed, to be lime, the wickedness o
the adulteration will be fully apparent
Pure baking powders are one OF th'
chief aids to the cook in preparing per
feet and wholesome food. While thos,
are to be obtained of well-established re
putation, like the Royal, of whose purit,
there has never been and cannot be

- Last Friday at noon an alarm OF fire
was given by the long-continued blowing
OF the whistle on the Sellers evaporator.
A large crowd of citizens soon collected
and for few moments-it looked as If
Middletown was about to have what she
has long been inviting-a first-class fire.
But after some effort it was put out. The
fire had caught in one Of the evaporating
cupolas, because Of the over heating of the
same. The evaporating apparatus was
somewhat damaged and some Of the out
side woodwork had to be cut away to get
at the flames. There was not over twen-
ty-tive dollars worth OF fruit in the copola
at the time of the fire as the factory had
just been started up. The fruit was
total loss. The whole damage will prob
ably not exceed seventy-five dollars, in
sured.
William Greeves, OF Wilmington,
who represents the Atlantic and Pacific
Tea and Coffee Co., was arrested on the
25th of August by officer Craddock for
peddling goods from house to house
throughout Middletown without license.
He claimed that the firm who employed
him had license. AS he promised not
to run away he was allowed to stay at
Maxwell's hotel over night in order to
give him time to telegraph for copy of
the said license, but he left on the 2.30 a.
M. train. Yesterday he returned to
Middletown and very unexpectedly ran
against our chief. He had lot of chro-
mos in his hand at the time of his arrest.
The officer took his arm and escorted him
to Squire vasey's office and was COM
mitted to the lookup. He telegraahed to
the company to come to his assistance.
The penalty for this offence is $500 fine or
imprisonment for six months.
LATER-The company that Greeves
represents came to Middletown to-day
and on their producing license to sell
their goods in Middletown-but made
in another agents sname-Greeves was per-
mitted to 60 on paying fine OF SIS.

another shock. The latest particulars as to
the situation in the stricken city follow
A heavy shower of rain fell in Charleston
yesterday, which fortunately, did not last
long. Five additional deaths, four of them OF
colored infants, have occurred from exposure.
Rev. Robert Wilson, an Episcopal clergy
man, is out in card against fanatical SER
nous on the earthquake. Prof. MCGEE left
Charleston yesterday. He said there would
probably be more slight shocks, but no tidal
wave need be feared. The people of Char
lesion are said to be getting accustomed to
daily quakes, and do not mind the tremors
when they are not too heavy. The reliet
committee are actively at work. Subscrip-
,ions amounting 10 about $llo, 900 have been
received, but more is needed. Animals
appear to have been terrified by the great
shock of Tuesday night, August 81, as was
evidenced by stampede of engine horses.
Other Instances of the effect on dumb animals
are given. The Charleston market was
again the scene of its accustomed activity
Yesterday, and no attempt was made to
advance prices. Out going passengers are
less numerous than heretofore. A slight
shock was felt at Summerville yesterday
afternoon, and another at Charleston early
