five months Of travelling through Eu-
rope. They arrived in New York yes

sey City at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
II was on time when II reached Philadel-
phia. but there delay was caused by
the hardness of the train which lett BAL
timore in the morning and which makes
connection with the Baltimore and Ono

usually large one, and each coach was
well filed with passengers The tram
WAS delayed forty-fve minutes by an ac-
cident to freight locomotive No. 40o,
near Harmony, Del. The engine broke
n rod, tore out a stesm-chest, and
stripped itself generally. Engineer

tracks we're slightly damaged. Once by
the wreck the train sped on with light
ming rapidity.

pulled into Camden station. There seve'

them General Manager Odell, OF the

auiries he replied that his health wa
good, and his clear complexion, his ra
diaut eyes. and his rotund figure showed

strands. but it was the same Mr.. kober

say nothing except that he had had
very pleasant jaunt and that IN nj
travels he had seen several Baltlmorean'
! who reminded him OF his home and b.
associates.
At the station was his trap, which ha
been sent into the city about dark irol
his country home. In that he and hi
party took their seats and were immt
diatelv driven out the Frederick road (

is surrounded he saw lights hsshin
from almost every window on ever
