CHRIsTIANA July 10.-The barn on
the farm of James Mckinney, one mile
north Of this town, was completely de-
stroYed by fire yesterday afternoon The
fire started at 2 o'clock and was too far
under way before anybody discovered it,
to get it under control Several tons of
hay, three sets of harness. one corn
shelter and one hay cutter were
burned, making a total loss Of not less
than 500, which is partly covered by
Insurance. The origin of the fire is un-
known; no one was around when it
broke out. AS this is busy time Of the
year among farmers, it makes it very
inconvenient and makes the loss much
greater. It will be rebuilt as soon as
possible.

SOME enthusiastic geniuses Of sensa
tionalism, have heralded an alleged dis
covery by Professor Vaughn Of Ann
Arbor, as "a messenger Of life. Profss.
sor Vaughn has extracted and studied in
his test tube the poison that assails
humanity in cholera infantum and
diphtheria. 1t was this same remarkable
man that found the poison in milk,
cheese and milk products, which he
named tycotoxicon, The enthused news
sensationalist glows and swells With his
subject thus:
The story came like gift from Heaven
to a community now savagely attacked
by cholera, whose babes are dying at a
terrible rate. while the learned world Of
doctors have been powerless to stay It's
course This disease with cholera cut a
wide sweth In the mortality Of tho city.
Considering ths matter more soberly
as Or. Vaughn alleges, he has probably
discovered that these diseases are al.
luminous poisons and being acquainted
with the nature and character Of the
disease, he hopes TO discover a drug that
will kill the disease and not kill the
patient What was already known
before DIR. Vaughn made his
alleged discovery was that the
poison Of these diseases is generated by
germs in the alimentary canal just as
ferment is generated when yeast is put
In dough. Heat Is necessary for the
fermentation and that Is why the dis.
eeses are more prevalent In hot weather
than in cold. DR. Vaughn took the germs
with whicn he experimental from the
dead bodies Of persons who died Of the
diseases, and by feeding them on ster-
ilized meat he succeeded in produc-
ing the genuine poison in large
quantities. Thus DR.. Vaughn's dis
covery Is a theory. The fact that
such poisons exist In the alimentary canal
of persons, suffering from these diseases is
not new. The only new thing is that DR..
Vaughn has found this poison and sepa-
rated IL from the germ which produced IT,.
The only thing important Is that by de-
tining definitely what the thing Is, the
learned world may be able to invent OF
discover a remedy chat will kill the germ
and not kiln the patient.

THAT MkerrY INTERVIEW

Comfy Treasure fsidgnly Ment toned
ns X easis ~ecvHd cholca for Governor.
Special Coz pondence hvENISo Journal.
Dover, July l0-A little son Of James
Kerbin merchant ON Loockerman
street was badly bitten by dog last
evening The dog seized him by the
arm and lacerated it terribly. Dover is
cursed with too many dogs.
Levi Griffith, who for years has been
well known TO the travelling public as
bartender at the Capital Hotel, will next
week take charge Of the hotel at Kenton,
having received fractional license from
Judge Houston. Terrence Gavin, form :
erly Of Kenton has taken charge of the
hotel at Leipsic.
After swelterlng and wriggllng for two
days Dover was last night struck by a
down like magic.
With what avidity everything pertain
ing to politics is seized on to down here,
was aptly illustrated last evening, by
the frequent and universal reference
made by Democrats and Republicans
alike, to the brief interview
Hon. George v. Massey BY the way
although you may not know it, the
EVENING JOURNAL accomplished a feat
in inducing the tall attorney from Dover
TO thus express himself. For the Hon
George Massey's words and opinions
weigh heavy down here, and he drops
mighty few Of them His endorsement
Of Harry Richardson's candidacy bears
out the prediction made in the EVENING
JOURNAL over year ago, that the Sena
tors son would be the Republican choice
for Governor, because the indicator
pointed just that wsy.
Mr.. Massey also hits the nail on the
head squarely when be says that RobertJ.
Reynolds would have the majority Of
knts delegates to the state convention
The EVENING JOURNAL also said this,
fully year ago IN summing up Kent's
political outlook But the discussion Of
this subject last night brought out a
new feature, which evidently has been
brewing for some time That is in the
event Of any hitch, that should prevent
Reynolds nomination, or If that
gentleman himself would forego
IL Daniel M Ridgely, Kents present
county treasurer, would be the second
choice of this county for gubernatorial
honors. To those who have never given
this subject thought, at first glance, the
question Of young Dams candidacy might
seem startling, but let us look at it,.
Daniel N. Ridgely is decidedly the most
popular young man in the Democratic
ranks Of Kent county to-day, straight as
a die, politically, the soul of honor, in
tegrity and Democracy in himself, and
he has to back it, a long line Of an
cestry that reaches way back to the
Yachting trip Lord De La Waw made up
the bay, and not blur appears on tile
escutcheon TO dim the unusually bright
page this same family has written in
the history of Delaware. Yes, young
Dan Ridgely would be q tower of
strength in old Kent. And by the
way what a humming campaign that
would be 60 put these two young Kent
conntians against each other in the po-
litical arenG-Ridgely on one side and
Richardson on the other. Well, the
"R's" seem to have the pull all round,
Reynolds, Ridgely, Richardson.

IN answer to the objection Of Dr. J. A
Draper that the proposed park would
harbor Objectionable characters aud pre-
vent ladies and children staying there, the
ed tor remembers what Dr. Holland, the
Dsan Of jefferson Medical College, Phila-
delphia. and who lives on Rittenhouse
Square, said recently;
Ny children have magnificent and
beautiful playground You see,
(pointing TO the beautiful square
laid out in walks. ornamental trees
and filed with men, women and
children). even the children Of the
wealthisst people in Philadelphia could
have no insr place than this.
If the Court House grounds were made
into park the same police regulations
would govern it as govern the rest Of
the city. If necessary special policeman
would be detailed to keep order there
Bat it would not be necessary. Peopl,
who are disorderlY would not frequent
such place as the Court House park any
more than they frequent Market stree
aow. It would not BE q refuge fer crime
