A Champagne Bath.

A pool has been discovered in Boonton,
N. j., by Benjamin Nicol. Delaney
Nicolrs brother, who has a summer
house there, that is attracting wide local
attention. The pool is in the Rockaway
river, that dashes itself down over rocks
and through ravines, as it passes through
the town. Mr. Nicoll is fond of swim
ming, and he admired the looks of the
pool in question. So he dived down one
day and was astonished at the delicious
character of the bath. The surface Of
the water was ordinarily cool and calm
but down several feet an effervescent
water was found The bubbles, full
of gas, came bouncing up from the
bottom. These bubbles indicated the
presence of some sort of spring Of a
gaseous nature, full of effervescence, and
bright and sparkling. But the strangest
part Of the pool is the exhilerating and
invigorating effect Of the water on the
body. Mr.. Nicoll, w. ID. Wiman and
others who have plunged beneath the
surface declare that they feel, when they
have been in five minutes, as though they
had taken a cham pagne bath. They
never experienced such pleasant and life
renewing sensations. 1t is probable that
an examination will be made Of the pool
to see whether it possesses any medical
properties.

MARKET SCENES.
Taken without a Kodak ON the Spot by
Ocular aud Auricular Process

Ocular aud Aurfcular Process.
Long before daylight on Wednesday
the wagons began to stream into town,
and seek their respective places along
King street--indeed sumo anxious souls
lest they might oversleep themselves or
by some mishap not be located as soon as
some stirring neighbor, come to town
the night before and enjoyed camp life
for, at least one night, by sleeping in the
considerable whoaing
and backing the wagons are placed, and
now begins the opening out tomatoes in
abundance; apples, pears and peaches in
moderate quantities. lemons and bananas
corn, beets, radishes, white and sweet
potatoes in plentiful supplies. Every
thing is now ready for the buyers, and
soon they come. of all classes, sizes, ages
and looks, from the little prattling child
that can scarcely make known its wants,
to the tottering aged.
Along comes a cold-countenanced
boarding house lady, with short, quick
snap in her voice. She asks, or rather
demands:
How much are your tomatoesY
With measured tone the man at the
stall answers; Eighteen cents quarter
of peck.
"Oh they're dear / can buy them for
fifteen cents. and marches on to bore the
next unfortunate.
Now comes one Of a little different style
A stout lady, head held high, pair of
gold-rimmed eye glasses adorning the
nose, she selects meek looking man for
her prey and begins
What are these pears2"
Why pears, to be sure, madam
With fire kindling in her eye she an
swers: "Well l know they are pears, but
how do you sell themg With that ques-
tion she snatches one and begins to test
1t with her teeth.
The meek man is afraid to make any
remark lest he might arouse some of the
latent wrath slumbering in the breast of
the person before him, and so she moves
on
1t would be difficult to find market
more bountifuliy supplied with the neces-
saries Of live than our market, and one
too, where all kinds of produce can be
readily sold at good prices. The line of
wagons between Second and Ninth streets
soon distribute their contents to
anxious buyers, and all seem
satisfied both with the quality and
quantity. Soon after actual selling begins
the crowd becomes dense, rendering rapid
or even moderate travelling impossible
and naturally enough some grow impa-
tient.
One woman, speaking fercely to her
little girl, said: go on, can't you?
don't stand there gaping"
One country girl said to another who
was elbowing her way through the crowd .
If you wait for the crowd you'll never
get nowhere"
So the crowd moves on, grumbles on, and
buys on until all seem satisfied ana re.
pair to their homes with baskets laden
with the fruits Of the soil and the vine
and the stallman having sold out chat,
joke and light their cigars before gather
ing up their traps to depart. Thus ended
the market for one day.

Jerman ]. McMullen, baggage ex-
pressman, was given trial last evening
before Justice Monaghan for trespassing
on the property of the p, w. & B. Rail,
road Company at the French street
station.
Detective William T. Jones testified
that he had been ordered by the superin-
tendent to keep the hackmen, express
men and bootblacks away from the
station. He had warned Mr.. McMullen
that he must keep off of the company's
property. He had afterward seen him
under the shed on Front street receiving
checks for baggage. Detective Harvey
Z. Vandegrift had seen Mr.. McMullen
doing the same.
Mr.. McMullen said that he stood on
the sidewalk and called to people on the
inside for their baggage. If he got it he
would go under the shed. He did not
consider that trespassing
Justice Monaghan stated that accord
ing to the law it was a clear case of tres.
passing and he would have to pay fine
of $5 and costs, and hold him in 800 to
keep the peace and keep off of the com
panys property.
A large number of hackmen were pres
ent at the trial The Wilmington Trans
fer Company are the only ones allowed at

Milford came to brave old Dover yester-
day, fully expecting to defeat our home
team. In fact, they were so ssnguine,
that the admirers of the club stak d ron
siderable money upon them. And as the
result was 3 to in favor of our good
workers, they lost, and some other people
won. But the betting wasn't large
enough to interest our gentlemen. 'Jink-

than $25, and Walker, old boy, won't

half hundred.

kIRkwoop VS.. BED LION.
The Kirkwood Club Denies Certain Ac-
eusaffone

To the Editor OF EVENING JOURNAL
We wish to answer the charges brought
against us, the Kirkwood Base Ball Club,
by the club of Red Lion, contained in
last nights Every Evening. They charge
this club as kicking and using coarse
language They were the first TO com
mence using coarse language. They pro-
tested against this club using as a player
a man from Wilmington who was here
on a visit, Notwithstanding they had
secured the country far and near for the
best players they could get. and it is safe
to say that they used only six of the
regular players. In reference TO the um.
pire being from here, he was. for they
had none. They cannot truthfully doubt
the veraeity of the man who umpired the
game, as he would not stoop
to anything that is coarse and low.
IL there were any decisions given by him
through ignorance Of the rules, as the Red
Lionites claim, they were in favor Of Red
Lion. That club on two previous occa-
sions came here to play and brought their
own umpire and they cannot deny that
they were treated like gentlemen The
ball was won from them fairly and hon.
estly Mr.. w. E. Smith, our captain
gave it back TO them | wish to
say.in closing that we are ready to play
them any time they may select on
any ground, and give them the privilege
to select an umpire, and all other points
they desire; and we only ask in return
that they will do us the kindness OF
keeping unconcerned parties from using
their mouth too freely. FAIR PLAY.

The National Union, although but id
the tenth year of its existence, has demon
strated the fact that it is founded on the
proper method of assessments. Beginnirg
at the age Of 20 the assessments increase 10
amount slightly until the age Of 6j Z
reached, when they remain the same unit
the age Of 80 is reached. Then paid up
policy is given payable at death, the mem
Der still keeping his membership in Coun.
Gil by paying Council dues. There can be
no equitable assessment plan that does
not increase in amount as the risk increases
II may at first sight appear 10 work hard
ship on the old members, but as the insur.
ance is pure and simple, and nothing is
paid except for the risk. e., there is nc
surplus accommodating, then the risk must
be valued at it's cost
