dletown Transcript of w. p. Miflin.
Ine editor and proprietor, on Saturday.
Ihe transcript is on its twenty-second
volume although it has run through
several proprietors. Mr.. Vandegrift is
now IN full charge. 1t is in a certain
sense the organ of E. r. Cochran as the
New Era is the organ of Gov. Biggs.
The CorOner's Jury in the case of
Francisco Jankowsky, the Pole who

The accident to the Clyde means a
a loss ofabout $4,000 to the steamboat
company, as it will cost $4,000 to re-
pair the damage aud enough excursions
had been booked to more than guaran-
$4,000. The shaft parted right at the
connection with one of the wheels and
was discovered while she was living at
her wharf in Philadelphia. Had the
shaft parted while she was running she
might have capsized.
Geo w. Kennedy, an aged man, had
varied experience in Wilmington on
Friday night while intoxicated. He
first fell into the Brandywine Creek
and was tished out, but vanished be-
fore the arrival of the police patrol.
subsequently he was found at Elev-
enth and Walnut streets covered with
blood and unconscious. He had evil
IDENTIFY been assaulted, and was taken
to the almshOuse to recover.
CONSUL KNOWLES HEARD FROM.-A
letter received few days ago from Con-
sui Knowles, states that ,the writer
reached that beautiful city on August
| Is, and week later he wrote. The
| interval had been very much occupied
with acquiring a knowledge of his du-
ties. The young Consul was delighted
with Bordeaux, which he says is a
city of about 100000 inhabitants. 1t is
| described as a very industrious, pros
porous and happy community.
The recent storm has again demon
strated the inefficiency of the Delaware
| Breakwater. This supposed safeguard
for vessels in a storm was erected
years ago by the Government at an
immense cost, and since then hundreds
of thousands of dollars have been ex-
pended in proving it, but it still is an
unsafe dangerous harbor. 1t is posi-
BILE to make the Breakwater safe, and
at once. It should be made place of
refuge, where vessels could safely out
ride the storm.
The Morning Ne,Cs, of Wilmington
and the NelVs and AdUertiser, of Milford
are anxious to hear tidings of Horace
Greedy Knowles, who represents this
country as Consul at Bordeaux, France
We predict that Mr.. Knowles is all
right, and be one of the foremost work
ers in the next campaign in Delaware
for the Republican party; and if the
Morning NelUs and the NelOs and AdUer
tiser work as earnestly and harmOni
ously as will Mr.. Knowles, their party
will have much more regard for botl
journals aud their editors .-MiIfOrt

ECHOES OF THE GREAT GALE
LEwEs, Del, Sept. 15-The bark Sor
ridereu, previously reported, lost tht
second mate and steward overheard

stant picked up twelve of the crew @
the Norwegian bark Ffeya $50 mile

twelve hours in an open boat. On tn

vicinity, the Sorrideren passed a vesse
