Convicted of Arson.

The trial for arson of Miss Sarah F.
Hall and Levin B. Hall, brother and
sister, which was tried at Princess
Anne, Md, for a week, was concluded
with a verdict Ofguilty. The punish
ment for arson is death or term of
Imprisonment of from 5 to 25 years,
Sentence was deferred at the instance
of counsel for the accused.
The case has been cause celebre,
and has attracted attention throughout
the county on account of the high
social standing of the prisoners in the
community.
The motive of the crime was spite.
Miss Hall, being piqued because she
had been unable to prevent Cox &
Miles, her neighbors, from painting the
wall Of their house, adjoining her own,
got her brother to set fire to the
property,

Nuptials at New Castle.

Possibly the most brilliant event in
the history of New Castle society was
the marriage Thursday evening of
A. Y. Lesly George, superintendent of
the Diamond State Iron Company of
New Castle, and son of Jonathan E.
George of New Castle hundred, to
Miss Agnes Johnson Herbert, daughter
of State Treasurer William Herbert.
1t occurred in Immanel P. Z. Church,
which was IhrOnged with well wishers
of the contracting couple. Fully 700
people were in the church, and at least
200 were outside, unable because of
lack of room to secure admission. The
wealth of floral bloom, with which the
church was decorated, presented a
most attractive appearance. Rev. P.
b. Lightner, rector of the church,
otiiciated and ring was used in the
marriage ceremony. During the exit
of the bridal party the Mendelssohn
march was performed. Miss Bessie
l.. Herbert, a sister of the bride, was
maid of honor, Edwin NJ. Herbert. a
brother of the bride, was best man
and Frank d. Carpenter of this CITY,
Chauncy p. HolcOmb, George W.

Spelling in the Schools.

An article in the TIMES of last weeL,
has fling at our Public Schools that
we, as teachers, feel to be wholly mis-
representative; particularly so, com
ing from one who never visits the
schools, and must necessarily Judge
by Individual and isolated cases.
That spelling is the "most important
feature" of scholastic duties. we denv
IN the outset. Thatit is neglected in
our curriculum or practice, we also
deny Just as positively. And more
than that we cordially invite the pub
lie who from that article would most
naturally obtain a wrong impression
OF the quality of work done in our
schoolrooms, to be present at anv
time and judge for itself. Still further
than this, we challenge any school in
the state, of the same age and grade of
pupils, to furnish any better spoilers
ordinarily, provided that spelling is
not made hobby with them, to the
exclusion of equally important

MIR. EDITOR:
On Saturday morning, Oct. 26, I was
down the peninsula taking some obser-
vatIoEs of the improvements going on
IN that section, when suddenly our
attention was called to the sky over
oar heads. There was a bright rainbow
as brilliant as we are apt to see on
the eastern side of the zenith about half
enclrcling 1t and of course the arch
towards the sun, the contrary way
from what we expect of the rainbows.
II continued for full an hour without
fading or changing in the least when
the arrival of the train called US away.
There was quite company who wit
Messed it, none of whom ever saw auy-
thing like it before, and they might not
see the like of it again. l have not
learned whether it was visible at other
places distant from there or not. The
location was just over the line in Acco-
mac county, Va. Those who are wise
in such matters will have opportunity
to investigate if they can the nature of
this extraordinary phenomenon.

One rose before the dawn, and stole along
The dull shore waiting for the light to be;
That he, before the unimpatient throng,
Might watch the sunrise on the splendid
sea.
And one who cared not for the glorious sight,
But for the joy to come with that first ray.
Pan to his easement to greet there the light
F. That uskered in for him his wedding-day.
But to the One who gives both sea and shore,
Who from the darkness light and gladness
frees,
Rises the sweetest hymn forevermore
Not from the lips of such glad souls as
these.
But from the bed where one all night has
lain,
Shilling his means to let his watchers sleep,
Who suddenly across his bed of pain
Sees the faint gray of early morning creep.
It's coming; whether it be dull or fair,
This day that dawns he knows not; it may be
1t brings him suffering keener still to bear.
All, God! how great the gift that Thou hast
given,
When those who only know the night is
past
Send to Thee, in Thy far-of. silent heaven,
:, The gladdest thanks that day has dawned
at last

Forty years ago the harbor of San
Francisco was filed with great feet of
ships that were lying idly at their an
chors. They had brought cargoes of men
aud merchandise, but they could find no
cargoes to carry away. Many of these
ships never left the port. They were
hauled up to the land, and the hulks
furnished temporary shelter for hundreds
Of pioneers. To-day the docks are lined
with a great feet of merchant ship s-a
larger number Of sailing vessels, probably,
than can be found in any other port in
the Union, These ships are nearly all
discharging or taking on cargo. There
is hardly an idle ship in this harbol
among seaworthy vessels. Aside from
wine, wool, ores, and lumber, there will
be million tons of wheat for transpor-
tation to foreign markets. The OK teams
no longer plod weary way across the

During the Exposition one of tie
Deputy Sheriffs, who were appointed to
guard the public safety out on the
grounds, was told one day by his supe
rior to take awalk in a certain direction
and keep his eye peeled for crooked peo-
pile. In about half an hour he came
back with young farmer on his arm
and highly elated over his capture.
"Who've you got there" asked the
Sheriff
"A crooked man"

Could she ever stand in a holy place like
this and give him the most solemn vows
that can be spoken? Sophy shivered and
grew faint at the bare thought No, she

she would confess the whole matter to

blowing on her face and gust of rain

He set her down out of his arms, and

The Fun on the Bristol Company ap-
peared last night to light house below"
and good gallery attendance. The COM
pany is much smaller than when the mu-
steal comedy was first presented here, nor
is it as strong. Harry Corners, as Widow
O'Brien,' has the leading character, and,
while he makes much of it, the recollec-
ton of Kelly in the same role is constantly
suggested in comparison. COPYRIGHT, the
old-time minstrel is as humorous as ever.

Harry Moore and w. H. Bray are good

play affords the actors opportunity for a
good deal more of vivacity and warmth
than they manifested last night. The
strength of the piece is in the second act,
and, with something more of spirit than
the members of the company manifested
last night, can be made very entertaining.
A matinee will be given al 2 P. NJ. to-day,
when an elegant doll will be awarded to
some fortunate child. Tonight the piece
will be repeated, and final presentation
of it will be made tomorrow night.
