The world,s Fair MAY BE Postponed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE feeling in
favor of postponement of the exposi-
tion until 1895 is growing very rapidly,
and il is believed that sufficient nam-
Der of Senators are of that opinion to
settle the question, as they have the
power to do, by delaying proceedings,
even If the House should vote for 1892.
Such men as Sherman, Edmunds,
Morrill,. Hoar, Dawes and others on the
Republican side and nearly half the
Democrats have expressed themselves
very emphatically on the subject. Isis
a curious thing that members of both
parties object to an exposition in 1892
because it is Presidential year.

companied by thunder and lightning,
and in its passage it wrought terrible
work of destruction. At Macburg
the storm was transformed into a cy-
clone and continued its course in this
form for distance of five miles, leav-

southwest to northeast in a track not
more than forty rods in width and car

destroyed. The parsonage adjoining
was lifted clear off the ground and car
ried quite a distance. The wife of the
pastor, Mrs. Nicholson, was instantly
killed. and her daughter seriously
injured On the farm of Aaron McWill-

and his wife and two small children

and feet by the overturning of the stove,
while the rest of the family escaped
with slight injuries. Barns and sheds
of several others were demolished.
Large trees were torn up by the roots

A MedfeaI Trust.

The trust formed by the phys clans
of Bridgeton, N. J., is something of a
novelty, although the fixing Of the fee
at one dollar is not unreasonable.
Country doctors have a long way to
travel very frequently. and anything
less than dollar a trip would hardly
pay; but il this trust business is going
to extend TO the medical profession,
there is no telling where it will stop -

The North American evidently has an
idea that this city is but country viii
lage, wi b q farm about every dwell
ing. Down this way people think the
trust" III putting up the prices for ii
professional visit, is an imposition, aud
there is decided kick being made, but
it is not likely to prove of much avail
unless reliable young physician
wishes to sett here with desire to
make some money, without getting
rich in few years.

A PIONEER reporter interviewed
Postmaster Laning Saturday and
found that gentleman in an apparently
cheerful mood, and in answer to q
question, said that he might as well
laugh as cry. He has received no
official notification Of his removal, and
will know nothing more than what he
has heard, until Mr.. Nichols brings in
his commission, and takes charge of
the office. Mr.. Laning says that the
bond that must be given by the Post
master Of this office aggregates $25, 900,
and signers must be worth double the
amount signed for, above all indebted
ness. Mr.. Laning thinks out of all
courtesy and common decency he
should have been permitted to remain
another year, following ouS the pre-
cedent established in the case of Mr..
Trenchard, whom he succee ded. In
answer to question, Mr.. LaLing said
the office was worth between $500
and $1,000, above all expenses He
has not decided upon his future move
ments He asserts that he could re-
gain the position he formerly held in
the State Prison.

NEARLY APHYXEATED.
Two Fishermen Nearly SuffocaSeh
at EsaY Side

| VIM. E. Havens, of this city, who is
engaged in fishing at Bay Side, had a
| narrow escape from death last week,
| and also his man, man named Heintz
| They came in from fishing, ate their
suppers in the cabin, and after a time
put fresh coal on the fire and retired in
| their hunks. Havens slept in the
lower bunk and Heintz in the upper
| one right above Havens. Those
cabins of the fishermen are con-
structed as tight as a bucket, and be-
fore lying down Mr.. Havens raised the
window about an inch, as was his Gus.
tom, for the purpose of ventilation This
was on Tuesday week, when they laid
down, but when they awoke again it
was Thursday morning and both men
were near dead.
Mr.. Havens awoke in the morning
as he thought the next morning after
retiring-and discovered the fire was
| burned out; he felt badly and stag
gered to the door, which he opened.
II,
he fell over exhausted, but reviving
he managed to close the door and
crawl back to bed He then noticed
the hand of Heintz hanging over the side
of the bunk and greatly swollen; he
tried to awaken Heintz and finally had
to get up, and with much difficulty
aroused him.
Getting him cut of bed Heintz also
staggered to the door, with q result
like that which Havens had met with.
They both then concluded they must
be sick, but looking out they saw two
new fishing cabins, which had been
built near them, and this puzzled them
as they had heard no sound of build
ing, They finally succeeded in arous-
ing themselves, and some one of the
fishermen coming along they discov-
cred that they had been sleeping from
Tuesday night until Thursday morn
| ing. They knew nothing of what had
allied them, other than they must have
been affected by the gas escaping from
the coal stove. Heintz is very much
swollen and sick, a physician attend
ing him. Mr.. Havens, came home
| Saturday and, though still feeling bad
ly, returned to Bay side Monday
Heintz is at his home in this city.
Their escape from death was a very
narrow one,

Jerseys Peach Crop.

The State Agriculture College re-
ports the following concerning the
peach crop: Buds from the peach trees
from various parts of the State have
been examined microscopically at diff
ferent intervals throughout the winter,
and it may be said that while the per-
centaga of dead one gradually in
creased from January Sd on, it was
left for the freeze of the 7th of March,
when the mercury fell to within de.
grees of zero, to kill a large per cent.
Of those alive up to that time. Many
hundreds of buds have been examined,
and while it is too soon after the cold
snap to decide in the case of many
buds, it is, nevertheless, true that but
few buds remain alive upon the trees
examined. Pears in some cases that
had pushed their flower clusters con-
siderably have suffered while others
less stimulated by the untimely
warmth have remained under cover of
the woody bud-scales and are safe up
to the present time. Cherries and
plums seem all right.

ADDITIONAL DAMAGE.
OTHER REPORTS OF DAMAGE
FROM THE WIND.
considerable Damage Done al
Sea Breeze On Friday--HOuse
DESTROYED in Gl0ull2fOWu.


Other reports of damage done by
the wind have been heard from, and it
is found that the country suffered more
than was at first supposed. There was
a heavy gale Friday afternoon, which
struck Sea Breeze, and left damaged
property in its wake. The clouds
were noticed some time before the
blow by party of those who had been
working at the place, who at the time
were out in the Bay fishing. They
thought they would be safer ashore,
and hurriedly propelled their boat in.
AS soon as they landed the men scat
tered for a safe retreat from the threat
ened' storm. The contractor, who is
erecting the toboggan slide, realized the
terrible nature of the pending storm,
and grasping e small tree tightly,
awaited Developments.
In moment the storm was upon
the resort in all its fury. First a hot
wave passed by, which was nearly suf-
locating, and then the gale burst. The
gentleman referred to, heard crack
ling and saw large portion of the up
per story of the veranda being picked
up bodily, and lifted away above the
house, sailed a distance of perhaps
forty yards away, settling in the marsh.
Then another portion of the veranda
was picked up and carried to the roof
of the house, and sliding down the tin
ground below. Another heavy gale
and the tin roof was loosened and more
than eighty feet of it was rolled up in
tangled mass
The tornado then directed itself to
the toboggan slide, and about half OF
it was blown down, and the lumber
badly broken up that it will be unfit
for further use.
George Bates, Esq proprietor of the
House, came from Philadelphia Sun
day morning and drove immedi-
ate]y to the resort. The damage will
be at once repaired, and the storm
will not delay the opening of the
House in May.
DAMAGE AT GoULDTOwN.
Eastwardly from Fairton, and
through Gouldtown, the wind blew
terriically. A new barn belonging to
the estate of John Gould, on the farm
formerly owned by Warnica Pierce,
was blown down and completely de-
molished, a COW and horse were injured
but not killed; new house in course
Of erection at Gouldtown, by Joseph
Webster, was blown off it's foundation
and moved several feet, COW sheds
were blown down at Albert Gould's
and a part of the roof was blown off
the house of Susan Pierce on the Mill
vile pike.
The roof of the barn which was
blown down on the estate of John
Gould, was carried about hundred
feet away and when it fell it tore up
the ground making hole big enough
to bury q team of horses.

Thursday evening last, it being the
fortieth anniversary of his birth.
When RIr. F'ithian wended his way
TO his pleasant home on Cedar street,
at the close Of the day, he was in a
serene frame of mind; the day had
been an uneventful one, the various
jokes and repartees be had originated
through the day, and also the bust
ness of the Surrogate's office had all
slid off without friction, but when
ne entered his home and saw more
than a score of "uninvited guests
seated around his table and awaiting
his coming, he was made aware that
something had happened and he was
surprised. He soon discovered what
W the matter and made himself at
home" with easy grace.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs. E.
