It was bad week for BonlanCer. a
a bad week for Mrs. Maybrick, a bad
week for Sarah Althea, and, finally, a
bad week for John Lycurgus Sulii-
van, the most distinguished of living
Bostonians. But, then, these bad turns
are bound to come to the great as well
as to the small.

is taken as meaning that Iowa is dis
posed to adopt more liberal policy in
the future in its treatment of the rail

Big Thursday at Collins Beach.

Collins Beach, or as it is now called
Bay Head, after several years rest,
blOOmed out again on Thursday with
the esprit that characterized it in the
days of its former glory. 1t was vir-
tually Frank Rothwell's Opening
day." having taken the management a
few days before, and the people from
Smyrn and the surrounding country
including the larger part Of Thorough
fare Neck were there until all the
available ground adapted to such pur-
poses, was occupied by the horses and
carriages, added to these for two or
more hours being about 700 excursion.
lists who came down on the Richard
Stockton. The road thither is in splen-
did condition, the day delightful. there
having been no rain there that or the
day before, the shade attractive ard
the bathing good. The larger number
went in picnic style, while MANY took
dinner and supper at the well furnish
ed tables. Altogether it was a good
send of for the new proprietor, and an
entire change from what had charac.
terlzed the previous part of the season.
In the company was detachment of
W. Z. I. o., who quietly enjoyed the
shade and cooling breezes. The larger
scholars of the Sunday-school of
Friendship church had their note books
with them, and in the latter part Of
the afternoon gathered on the front
porch for service of song, which was
highly enjoyed by others not OF their
company. A number of men repaired
during the afternoon to an open field
for a game of base ball, the contest
being between the clubs of Walkers
schOOl-hOuse and Taylor's Bridge, the
victory being in favor of the first named
by a score Of II to Z. The season is
now short, but the old place is can
didate for the favors of its former
patrons.

Wednesdays Rains.

The South wind has not failed to
put in heavy work in the way of a
flood, any time this year, and last
Wednesday evening was no exception.
The sluggish clouds, as in previous
storms, exhausted themselves in Sec
tiOns, one place being flooded, while a
few miles away there would be little
rain. In the neighbOrhOOd of Kenton
and beyond, the rainfall was one of
the heaviest of the summer. Here it
was good soaking rain while at Col.
lins' Beach there was none. On the
same day the rainfall was so great out
West that all the through trains on
the Burlington and Missouri River
railroad in Nebraska, were abandoned
for two days. In some places the
tracks were under water from two to
eight feet
The electrical and rain storm was
particularly severe at the summer re-.
sorts along the New Jersey coast. At
Asbury Park several buildings were
struck by lightning, and the streets
were flooded, stopping the electric cars
and extinguishiDg the electric lights at
Ocean Grove. The streets ut Loug
Branch were washed badly, and at
Ocean Beach, Sylvan Lake Overhowed
It's banks. The same was the case at
EastOn, Pa.
The storm in the Missouri Valley
resulted in the death of over 20 per-
sons, and damage to crops and prop

A Saturday Night Racket
A MAN SHOT.


A terrible bedlam occurred on Satur-
day night in front of the Smyrna
House, which gathered during the
melee five or six hundred people, at
least such was the estimate of the num-
Der, ending with discharge of firearms
and the lodgment of a bullet in mans
leg. 1t was difficulty confined to the
colored people who have free access to
the bar, around by way of the board
fence and the wood pile. The way is
thoroughly known and well trOdden,
and many complaints have come to us
of the consequences of this travel that
we have let go unnoticed because such
incidents are part and parcel of the
legalized traffic in the sale of liquor.
But here is a gross violation of the
peace of the community, endangering
the lives of others besides the partici-
pants.
The row occurred about half-past
eleven o'clock, in which John boswell, l,
a farm hand of Henry Slaughter's was
shot by another farm hand of Joseph
Robinson, named Charles Barrett. The
difficulty, it is said, between these
dalkeys had its origin on a threshing
floor down the Neck" but not being
settled there was carried as ''grudge"
to be settled at u future time. This
very naturally came under the stimu-
lus of whiskey on Saturday night. There
were several other persons engaged in
the affair, but we did not get their
names. Barrett, sometimes called
Blackiston, fired three shots at boswell
In . b,,S of tHyh oh N
the heshy part of the thigh, and an
other was found next morning in front
of the residence of Wm. II. Janney, at
the bank. Fortunately no one was hit
by it on its passage thither The
wounded man was taken to the Office OF
DR.. Dwight, who probed the wound
but did not succeed in finding the ball.
Barrett made u hasty exit when he
found an effort was being made for his
arrest, and has not been seen since.
They are said to be an "onery" set,
that the community would be the
better of for their riddance.
The people in that part Of the town
feel naturally aggreVed that they are
subjected to such disturbances. 1t was
bad enough under the old ragime at the
hotel: the promise was made and they
looked with hope to its fulfllment for
better results under the new manage
ment, but they say it is worse by far.
With such proceedings rs Saturday
night, not only is their quiet disturbed
but their lives are in danger from flying
bullets, and they are seriously contem-
plating presenting remOnstrance to
to the court against renewing its
license.

The Baltimore and Delaware Bay
Railroad Opened.

The opening of the above named
railroad which was originally intended
to take place by the 10th of July but
hindered largely in its preparation by
the bad weather, was finally accom-
plished on Saturday. The formal
opening was attended by persons from
Philadelphia, Chestertown, Clayton
and other places, but Smyrna, one OF
the largest towns on the line, as far as
we know was not invited to take anv
part in it.

friends, including representatives OF
the press of Philadelphia, left that citv
on tugboat at $50 o'clock on Satur-
day morning and steamed to Bav
Side, M. At that point the barge
used in feFrying the cars across the
Delaware bay was loaded with empty
fruit cars and then taken in tow bv
the tug The tug left Bay Side at /
O'Clock in the afternoon and arrived at
Bombay Hook few minutes before Q
o'clock, having made the passage of
four miles in forty-two minutes.
The cars, fourteen in number. were
sent over the road for distribution at
the various points of fruit shipment
and the first loaded train was sent
north over the road Monday.
The new road now has fortv.two
miles of track finished and ready for
operation, extending from Nicholson

PAPERS of the "blab" kind like the
Wilmington EUening Journal and others
chat might be named, assert with the
freedom of childish verbiage that those
papers not committed to free trade are
in favor Of the sugar and other trust
syndicates. The following from the
Philadelphia american is pertinent TO
this subject and shows at least how a
class of protectionists view the question
at issue:
When-Very 7o0u-the drawn battle
between Protection and Free Trade
shall be resumed, in the debates of this
Congress and in the election Of the
members of the next one, we shall be
abundantly favored from the side of
the opposition with declarations that
the bond between Tariff and Trust i,
close and natural, and that Mr.. Have
meyer with his sugar bowl, aud Mr..
Burt with his salt-barrel-if he pets il
Aooped--are the only legitimate nurses
of Protection.
Safety for the principle and policy of
Protection lies along a straight and
plain road. 1t is justified as a national
system; it would be abOminableifitwer
what its enemies declare it, a minister
to class advantage, and a means bv
which individuals may prosper at the
community's expense. The moment It
should appear that the producing in
dustries had ceased to exert themselves
legitimately and naturally as purvevors
for the public, and had become instead
mere instruments to enrich themselves
under cover Of the Tariff, there would
be an end to any honorable, as there
would be to any practicable, defence
OF our present American system. The
monopoly of the home market. the
robbery of the public for the advantage
OF private interests, would transfer the
whole advantage from the side of Pro-
lection to that of Free Trade, and
would make any further struggle for a
vigorous American nationality unavail-
ing and contemplate.

PRESIDENT HARRIsON's speech at
Bath while visiting one of the largest
private shipyards in New England,
contained a pledge which will be re-
membered by all Americans interested
In the restoration of the commercial
marine. "In every way that I can,
whether as a citizen or as a public
officer" he remarked, 81 shall endeavor
to promote the rebuilding of our Amer
lean merchant marine and the restora.
OF that great carrying trade which we
once possessed in every sea-" That
pledge, if supported by courageous re-
Communications in his first annual mes
sage, will be worth much to the cause
of American shipping.

The prevailing sentiment of the con-
vention of electricians at Chicago is
opposed to the use of that force in the
execution Of criminals. Not merely do
they object to the unpleasant associa-
tions of electricity with the hangman's
business, but they argue from the uni
form experience of all who have re-
ceived great electric shocks, and have
survived the experience, that this mode
OF execution must be extremely painful.

Approaching the attractiveness of

the benefits to be derived from a visit

Pennsylvania railroad company has
arranged two personally conducted
tours to Cresson and the Alleghanies
on Thursday, August 10Th, and Sep
tember 9th. These tours will be con-
Quoted on the same high grade which
has characterized their predecessors Of
like nature. The Tourist Agent and
Chaperon will accompany the party.
who will travel ia a special train Of
palace cars and fine day coaches. The
excursion tickets, including railroad
fare in both directions, and one DAVIS
board at the Mountain House, will be
valid for ten days, and be sold at the
usual low rate. The round-trip rate
from New York is $3.50, Philadelphia.
So, Washington and Baltimore $8, and
cOrrespendingly low from other sta
tions. The special train will leave
Philadelphia at 10.40 A. NJ, and tour
lists from other points will take regular
morning trains TO Philadelphia, or the
nearest station west thereof, at which
connection with the speciaJ can be
made.

these trips the opportunity they afford

THE BrOwn.Sequard elixir of life
"fad" has proved itself the biggest SEN
satiOn Of the season. But it is also
proved that more people have been
injured by it than have been benefited
and in a few cases persons have been
killed by the dangerous compound.
The wonderful stories of its rejuvenat-
ing effects were manufactured for a
sensation, and the whole nation seemed
to simultaneously "catch on"
