Death ora Brave soldier.

John Snow one of the soldiers of the
late civil war died at the residence of
his brother, Joseph Snow, in Ray
mOnd's Neck on Friday last in his Goth
year. He enlisted in the First Delaware
Regiment at the commencement of the
war and followed its varied fortunes in
the army of the Potomac faithfully un-
til the battle of Gettysburg. The First
Delaware Regiment was in the thickest
of the fight during that memorable bat
tie, when Mr. Snow fell with q shatter-
ed leg. The battle ragged so fercely
that he could not be carried off, and he
summoned sufficient strength to crawl
into ditch where he lay for nearly two
days, his body nearly covered up by
the dirt thrown from the ditch bank by
the flying bullets. When however re-
lief did come, and he was being borne
from the field to the hospital, the
fragment from shell thrown by the
enemy struck the thigh of his other
limb and shattered it also. 1t was not
thought he could survive such serious
injuries but he did, though never after
fit for military service or the active
duties of life. In later years he rarely
came to town but to receive the pen
sions which "Uncle Sam" gives as a
recompense to such heroes who prefer
ed their lives to save the nation.

Hon. CHAs. B. LORE, made speech
on the Silver Question and proposed a
new plan, all his own, for dealing with
our financial condition. Why should
not Mr. Lore be his own successor to
perfect and put his plan through Con-
gress? He is hard working man,
and entitled to this consideration.

IT Is gratifying that the silver craze
among the politicians shows signs Of
weakening. Their confidence that
they would win in Congress has been
misplaced as was shown in the defeat
Of Bland's free coinage bill last week.
The vote was not a party test; only
80 per cent Of the Republican vote was
for the bin, while 60 per cent. Of the
Democrats favored the measure. The
sectional feeling was not so evident as
it was expected to be-. Republican
Kansas was solid in favor Of the bill,
but among its opponents were men
from every Southern State except Mis-
souri,, Texas and Tennessee. Nearly
every other State cast a decided vote.
The result is satisfactory, for it now
mikes ascertain that there will be no

THE recent Republican victories in
the Western States nerves the DeLaiOG-
rean to make the following editorial
declaration
I'VE are glad to know that some
thing has occurred to bring this admin
istration to realize the true inwardness
of affairs in the Democratic party. The
Democratic party is not composed Of
dudes and as soon as the dudes theo-
ries are abolished in the administration
of affairs the better for the Democratic
party. The West mas condemned the
present regime in no uncertain sounds,
and if the present course is not
changed that disapproval lately given
by that section will extend elsewhere .

The new administration has had n
trying ordeal but the President still
holds on to men and measures with a
tenacious grip: to say nothing about
the Pan-Electric scandal and Attorney
General Garland, it is thought the
strain of the office and the Office seek
ers will affect a result soon. Secretary
Manning and Lamar and Attorney
General Garland are sick, the first
named alarmingly so. Already there
has been talk of reorganization OF
the Cabinet, and the probability Of the
calling of ex-Senators Thurman and
Mcdonald to places among the Presi-
dents advisers seriously discussed.

THE farmers have felt that as q class
they were the least ones interested in
protection against impOrtations, but re-
cent developments in wheat culture in
India has put a new phase OH this sub
ject with agriculturists as the following
paragraph will show:
sour farmers are beginning to study
protection with more care. They see
India wheat laid down in London and
Liverpool at rs cents a bushel. 1t can
be laid in New York at so cents. 1t
can be put into Chicago at 95 cents.
Chicago and her elevators had better
tremble at far off India and ryot farm
ers. But for our tariff of 20 cents,
India wheat would food American
markets"

Temperance Meeting-Address
by Mrs. Ellis.

temperance eet1n3-AQdreSS
by Mrs. Ellis.
The Town Hall was filled on Sun
day afternoon to hear Mrs. J. Il. Ellis,
of fFlemington, n. j., corresponding sec
retary of the New Jersey w. G. Il. u.
The Rev. J. B. Quigg presided and the
meeting was opened with prayer by
Rev. DIR. Baldwin. Before the address
by way of entertainment, the occasion
being a memorial service in commence
ration of the late John B. Cough, the
great temperance orator, there were
some preliminary exercises in relation
thereto consisting of the reading of an
appropriate selection by Master Ed
ward Budd the reading of Coughs
"ApostrOphe to Water" by Rev. Her.
man Roe; quartette by the Messrs.
and Misses Wood, and the singing,
which was sweetly done, of temper
ance song by the Band of Hope"
under the leadership of Miss Grace
Quigg, Miss Clara Wilson at the organ.
Mrs. Ellis as a speaker was new to
our people (the first time perhaps that
she has addressed an audience in our
state) but she had not been speaking
long before she had not only the at
teution but the sympathy, that sympa-
thy or rather the good feeling that comes
of earnestness and warmth, and makes
the hearers feel they have common
bond of interest and purpose with the
speaker. Mrs. Ellis is undoubtedly a
woman of strong convictions which
are based on and receive their coloring
from life of conservation to the cause
of Christ. Thus constituted the two
became single mission, and in present.
ing the duty to espOuse them she en-
braces essentially the whole duty of
man.
Mrs. Ellis is an exceedingly pleasant
speaker, natural in manner and voice
and presents her subject with the per-
! suasiveness of IL woman and the
strength of a man. On Sunday even
ing she filled the pulpit of Rev. Mr..
| Quigg, speaking for an hour and pleas
| ing the people even more than in the af.
ternOOn. But few wifany of the lady tenn
perance speakers who have visited our
town have made Il better impression
| than did Mrs. Ellis.

New and Fast Train to Baltimore


Under the new schedule of the Phil
adelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company, which went into ef-
feet on Sunday the 11th inst, a new
express train was added to the service
of that road between points on the
Delaware Railroad and its branches at
a seasOnable hour in the morning, run
through via Porter and Newark to
Baltimore, arriving there at IL 10 a.
m. A returning train of like charac-
ter will leave Baltimore at 230 p. M,
and run through by the same route,
delivering passengers at the stations in
the territory mentioned above, thus
enabling the residents of Southern Del
aware and the Eastern Shore to leave
in the morning, spend several hours in
Baltimore and return the same day, il
so disposed. The trains will only stop
at prominent stations between Balti-
more and Newark, and will run
through to points on the Delaware
Division without change.
This is the most important step ever
attempted toward securing for Balti-
more more close communication with
her neighbors of the Eastern Shore
and it cannot fail to prove of enOrmOu.
advantage to both sections. Localities
which have heretofore depended on the
uncertainties of transportation by wa
ter are placed in quick and sure com
municatiOn with Baltimore, bushes,
relations will be established on a firmel
basis, and the commercial ties, which
naturally obtain between the two com
munities must become closer as mutua
intercourse is facilitated The people
of the two sections will not be slow tC
appreciate the benefits which the en-
terprise of the company bestOws upOr
them by this arrangement.
