Correspondence OF the RErUBL IcAN.
BETHEL, May 25.-The p, w. &B.
Railroad met with heavy loss last Sun
day at Laurel, Del, through the negli-
gence Of thu engineer. The fre,gh: train
arriving at Laurel at 10. 80 a. III. was run
ming at too great n speed, so he could not
stop in time TO save tho train from run
ming into Broad Creek. The draw was
oil and the passing boat just escaped de-
struction, rs the engine and seven c1rs
came tumbling into the stream below.
The cars were loa led with peas, cabbage,
etc. A lew were sayod, ana about $50
worth sold to buyers In Laurel Tue cars
were total wreck, and the engine ia still
In the crock. A great crowd gathered at
the bridge 10 sec the sight and the
churches were greatly annoyed. Sunday
travel of freight trains has the tendency
! to demoralize the town and ought TO be
stopped.
Strawberries are just getting ripe aud
swarms of colored people iiom Deals
Island and other parts are coming 10 the
help OF the truckers. A few crates from
each patch have been shipped and by
Monday there will be large quantities
ripe.
Capt. VIM. ]. Eskridge ana his crew
arrived safely Mt home to the deli hit OF
their relatives AID friends.
His vessel was filed with water on the
18th OF March, after being driven by q
fierce wind for eight days. All tue crew
three " hlte men and three colosed.-got
on top of the cabin and prepared to be
rescued hy some passing vessel. They
had provisions for ten days, but on the
10Th an Italian bark came by, and after
much difficulty they were landed safely,
bound for Gibraltar. The voyage was
long and tedious, having head winds and
calm, but they reached their destined
place in forty-two days. The fare was
very rough, consisting OF rice, macaroBi
meat once In n while, coffee twice u week
and bareback, much worse than what our
soldiers got In the army. They had no
table, but were handed plate to eat their
meals. The captain said they had to
break their hGrdtack across their knees.
When they arrived ut Gibraltar the cap
tain went to the consul, aud was received
with kindness AMI provided with ali
mcaus to make them comfortable. In "a
hours alter they arrived tee steamer
star ed for Bos taking all the crew
but the captain.
In twenty-iour hours afterwards a
steamer started for Philadelphia, the Cap
tain taking passage, arriving at Philadei-
phia the same line the crew came from
Boston. aud thus they took the same train
for home. They lost every thing they had.
The government tore all the ex Deuses
home. The captain of the bark was paid
80 cents per day spicce, making 81 g.

WIGGINs, w. Va, May 81. 18a9.-To-
day the mercury registers only 80 de-
grees. Yesterday 1t was 60 degrees, and
the day before so in the shade. A few
days ago a violent storm # wind visited
this region, and increasing IN its terrible
ness by intense thunder and almost con-
tlnuous lightning, was followed ty hail,
according to the scHption given by
sturdy yeoman, "as big as hulled wal
nuts" The storm did not strike my
place, but we were just On the ragged
edge of tho devastation. II stripp.d
young fruit trees OF their limbs, and de-
slroyed nearly all the gard vegetables
which were up. One OF my good neigh
bors says it was distressing TO hear the
pD, dumb animals believing and gro ln-
ing from pain, caused ty the pitiless
pelting of the heavy hail. The mOuuta n
streams III my vicinity were almost in
simultaneously swollen to twice their
ordinary size. In fact 1t was small
torn ado, for large ees were uprooted
and channels ploughed where Str ANS
had never run before. In all my nine
teen years of sOlourn here we have been
wonderfully blessed with an almost total
absence Of violent storms of this kind
BY a recent action OF the Post Office
Department, abolsbing the local III ii,
and only running the same on the
through or fast vest bule train, we were
without our mall Tor five days. We can
only exchange with one train which runs
one OF the Old express mail cars until the
mail cranes can he Alta red to suit the
cat hers on the new line OF cars. SO we
have to send our mail West before we can
get 1t started East.
| We had d rich trial in our court this
May term. A bard-hand, moral, reform
Dem crat, who had son killed by the
cars, as Is supposed, while asleep at his
post as night atehman, sued the rail-
way company for the killln.', putting the
damages quite high. Swearing to his

clmpany's lawy,r il lie had not told the
inspector ut the general election that this

SLIP COVERS

1t has been the practice of
upholstcrers to charge from $50
to S5otor a set of linen slip COW
crs. Many customers have not
bought these useful articles on
account of the price, as it was
about as cheap to buy furniture
as covers. We have reversed
the order OF things. After care
full consideration we have found
the means to put slip covers at a
price unheard of before.
We will make set of covers
for an ordinary sized 7-piece
suit for $40, material to be i'm
ported Jacquard linen, with
bound edges, or $50 for the
best imported English striped
linen. We give you plain or
colored stripes and have Id pat
terms to select from. Fit, work
manship and material guaran-
tced. Samples now re a d y.
Any one will readily see that it
will pay to invest this small
amount of money when you
consider how much it will save.
The covers, as the name implies
can be slipped on or off in a
few minutes. Another reason
in the favor of slip covers is the
cool appearance which they
have a tendency to impart to a
room where they are usel.
If your old suit has begun to
show the wear of time and you
want TO make it do a while
longer, set of $40 slip covers
will hide the shabby parts and
you have scored a point in
economy. Remember the pri-
ces, $40 and $50 for which we
go and measure your furniture
and furnish you with frst-claSs
goods and a snug fit.
