WILMINGTON has done nobly In
contributing toward the assistance of
the sufferers in the COnemaugh Valley.
Thus far the cash contributions
amount to about ten thousand dollars,
but II is more than probable that by
the end OF this week the amount will
be swollen 10 twelve thousand dollars.
In addition to this there have been
contributions of clothing, bedding,
provisions, cooking utensils and other
useful articles, amounting 10 several
thousand dollars more. 1t is probable
that the entire contribution will, when
completed, average something over
twenty five cents for every man,
woman and child in this city, which
will certainly make a remarkably good
showing. Almost every one has CON
tributed, and as this was the greatest
calamity this country has ever expert
enced, it is equally certain that ii has
touched the hearts of The people az
they have never been touched before
1t Is scarcely probable that the Leg
islative Committee Of City Council
which is now endeavoring 10 invest
gate the famous rider to the G stree
bill, will be able to accomplish much
as it is clearly evident that those who
do know anything about the mattel
will not tell. Senator Donahoe is re

would bring the entire matter befor
the Court, and those men who den,

guilty of eeetempt. This is probab.
the only way by which the public vii
ever learn the facts.

THERE is a growing sentiment in
Maryland in favor OF high license, and
there is no doubt but law to that

difficulty in obtaining a license, conse-

THE recent food in Pennsylvania
has demonstrated the fact that stone IS
superior to all other material for the
construction of bridges. The only
BRIDGE IN the Conemapgh Valley which
Is still standing is the stone structure
above JohnstoWn, although this bridge
is in part Of the river where tic
sweep and force of the swollen waters
was the strongest. This fact clearly
demonstrates that where stone bridge
IL properly constructed, it is able To
Withstand any iurce that can possibly
be brought TO bear against IL. Acting
On thus hint the Pennsylvania Railroad
officials have determined in every case
where il ia practical to use stone il
place OF iron or any other material il
the construction OF their bridges. This
course will not only save the company
considerable loss in tho future, buI
will also he a great protection Tor the
lives aud limbs of the travelling public

Two young men named ,Charpcntier
and Frechette were aspirants for the
hand Of one Mile. Chimene, and they
were not long in finding a pretext for d
quarrel, which came to u tragic ending
Wednesday. They met, and, in the
most COld.blooded manner, arranged be.

II duel, tho conditions OF which were
unique and barbarous. Seconds were
dispensed with, and both men were to
go TO u certain point on the river bank
ut given hour and there fight with any
weapon which came to hand, firearms
or cutting weapons to be excluded, until
one Of them was killed or insensible,
when tue survivor was to throw his body
into the river.
Both men kept the appointment and
the battle lasted about ten minutes, both
iuen using their fists at first, after which
they took to stones, and the end came
when Charpentier's skull was crushed
IN by a blow from an iron bar which
Frechette picked up.
