The Tramp Nuisance.

The Wilmington Sunday Star thus
shows how the community around
Wilmington is pestered with tramps:
The tramp nuisance in this COM
munity grows worse each year, and
this year it has assumed proportions
that must force the Legislature, at its
next session, to enact measures of re-
lief. AT present the only thing to do
is to send the tramps to New Ca astle
Jail, where they spend a season of lux
urious idleness that just suits them, and
so go forth at the expiration of their
terms to again prey upon the cOmmun-
lily. In the little town of ElktOn Md,
it is said, tramps for the past ten years
are as scarce as hens teeth when for
merly the neighborhOOd was fairly in
tested with them. Now the sheriff
arrests them on sight and the local
justice promptly commits them to the
workhouse at Baltimore, where they
have to put in a term at hard labor
They Late Elkton like poison and give
the place a wide birth.
1.-THE woods nearby Wilmington, es.
pecially those close to the railroad and
highways, are regular summer hotels
for the tramps. They eat and sleep
there and forage upon the neighbOr.
hood for their subsistence. Scarcely
panel of fence is safe in the vicinity
as they take the rails and posts fol
fuel They beg continually for food
frightening and bullying the wOmer
into compliance with their requests
and steal when ever they can do 81
without detection. They come into
Wilmington and beg from house t.
house, returning to their camp at nigh
where they make jolly with what they
have begged or stolen through the
day. They are a drunken, lousy, loaf
2 ing lot, miserable nuisance to th
neighL Orhood, they infict with thei
presence.
"The railroads are constant sufferer
from these dirty ramblers, particular
e the Delaware road and the lines rur
between Baltimore and Philadelphia
e Perpetual vigilence will not prever
:, them from stealing rides on the freigt
trains, and frequently they coolly boar
! a train and defy the train hands to r.
l. move them. AS the latter numb,
only six or eight men, while the tramp
y frequently come along in gangs of lif
/ or one hundred, the train men are vi
tually compelled to submit and allo
d the villianOus vermin to ride unmole

The Last Select Excursion to Reho-
both or Ocean City.

If by the exercise of a little iudg-
ment the man who is fast running
down from OVerwork would avail
himself now and then of one of the
Pennsylvania Railroad One-day trips
devoted to rest, recreation and pleas
ure, the work next day would have a
different look, and his physical cOndi-
ton renewed energy for the strain of
business competition. Children should
be taken on them. Old and young de-
rive untold benefit from a little change
of scene and fresh air. and to what
places better adapted to fill every re-
quirement than to RehObOth or Ocean

The popularity of the Phiad elpaia,
Wilmington and Baltimore One-day
trips, has grown now into an absolute
necessity, and for the benefit of those
who have experienced the delight o.
one trip, as well as for those who have
as yet in store for them this excursion

timOre railroad announces that Oh

We have before alluded to the fact
of the organized efforts of the farmers
in the different states to take hand in
politics for their betterment. The fol-
lowing from an exchange succintly
states the present aspect of their move
ment
The conventions held by farmers or
in their name in several of the West
ern States have adopted resolutions
which cast some light upon the inten-
ton of those who are prominent in
what may be called the political side
of the farmers movement. In some
States the proposal to put candidates
into the field or formally to endorse
candidates nominated by either party
was voted down. But in nearly all
cases those have had their own way
who sought to use the organizations
and conventions for political purpose
The resolutions adopted are naturally
such as those managers or organizers
wished adopted who are endeavorine
TO break up or to weaken the Republi
can party, because in the Western
States that party has the upper hand
and the most of the farmers havl
found opportunity through it to ex
press and carry out their wishes.
These conventions have accordingly
resolved in favor of unlimited silve
coinage, control Of railroads and tels
graphs by Government, at least as re-
poets rates charged, suppression

INnoting the recent advance IN oii-
yer. the Baltimore Sun says:
The recent advance Ofsilver has been
otortIin0. The amount of it in our
standard dollar has increased in value
from about II cents in May, 1889, TO
obout o3 cents now. This is due, no
doubt tn our new silver law, under
which our secretary of the treasury,
bnvs 4 ZOO 900 ounces Ofsilvera a month.
tTba enecuiatOrs make market price,
which the Secretary, OF COURSE paya
and so the increase continues IL
not unlikely that the price OF the SILVER
i'm a dollar will 60 up to ninety nine
cents before the present movement
ends. It will hardly go to the tull lOO
cents. for the reason that the Secre-
tarv Is required by the new law to quit
buying when silver gets this high, ana
the sneeulators want him to keep on
bnvin0 at the artificial price. For
whose good is this advance? 1t bene-
6ts the mine owners of the West, whose
nrodnct is enhanced in value IN the
3ronortion shown above. 1t dement's
also holders of silver, here and ABROAD,
sneculators and men who have 6ougnt
for industrial purposes. But it hardly
benefits anybody else. Many people
have been asking for cheaper money.
They have wanted free coinage OF sill
yer, so that pieces worth u cents
should pass for 100 cents. They, have
not gotten that. They have under the
new law the silver dollar made as val
uable and hard to get as the gold dol
lar, and they have a silver bullion
treasury note kept at par with gold
bv the policy of the treasury. TINS Il
not the kind of money that is likely tC
be abundant with those who have
nothing to sell or something to sell tol
which there is no demand. The high
er silver goes the worse it is for thos'
that want cheap and'abundant money
1t has been suggested that our farmer
are immensely benefited by the rise
silver. In what way is not apparent
Their position is not affected so long a
it is the policy of our treasury to keel
all our various dollars at par with tn
gold dollar whether silver goes dow
or uD.

IT'S EXHIBITS OF CATTLE AND OTHER |
sTOCKs.-THE ADJUSTMENTS, RACES
AND OTHER ATTRACTIONS.
The great Wilmington Fair, which
takes place September to 6, will sur
pass in exhibits, amusements, races
and all other attractions, any fair in
the Middle States.
There will be 400 stalls of blOoded
cattle, including two herds of Dutch
belted cattle, one of Aberdeen and
Angus and part of a herd of Swiss.
These have never before been shown
in this section.
1t will be liberal education to see
and compass the collection of various
breeds. The entrees of horses in all
classes, and of sheep and swine are in
like proportions. A splendid exhibi-
ton of grapes will be shown and "a
varieties of tomatoes. The vegetable
exhibit will be feature.
The bench show of dogs is under the
rules of the American Kennel Club,
and prize winners from all over the
Atlantic States have been entered.
Premiums of 5000 have been offered
for dogs alone.
There will be chickens, pigeons, birds
and pets of every breed and variety.
A commission from the Southern
States will make an exhibit of every
thing that is grown, mined or manu-
factured in the South.
The exhibits of the work of the pu-
pills of the Wilmington public and
manual training schools will give a
splendid opportunity to study the
working of one of the best public
school systems in the country.
The entries for the races are unus
ually large, and the contests will b,
full of interest and excitement. Ovei
a dozen horses are entered in severa
races. Charles NJ. Smith, the popular
starter of last year will be there, and
his presence will be a guarantee 0
fairness.
The amusements will be in advanc,
of anything ever before furnished by
an Agricultural Society. Professo
Parkers circus of trained dogs and cat
will give a performance on stage i
r front of the grand stand each after
noon between the heats of the races.
; Madam Marantette and her wonder

speculation in food products, severe
nunishment of adulterations, and host
ilitv to combinations or mOnOpolies. On
other points some of the different con-
ventions express opinions, but on those
mentioned substantially all were agreed
that decided to enter the political
field. The absence of resolutions re-
garding the tariff is noteworthy in
most cases, and suggests the previous
intention as clearly as the declara-
tions for unlimited silver coinage. Re-
Dublicans are generally inclined to
give a fair trial to the new Silver law
which has Just gone into operation be-
fore attempting anything more ven
turesOme.
REGULATION ofrailroads and telegraph
rates. suppression of speculation In
food products, and opposition to adul-
terations, combinations of mOnOpolies,
have already taken dehnate form
in legislation proposed and adopted by
Republicans. The wisest and most
moderate, the severest and most ques-
tionable. of all laws enacted for rail
roads in the several States have been
of Republican origin, passed by Re
publicans, and executed by Republl
can officials. So with the laws against
grain gambling in Illinois and other
States, and against food adulteration
and the most effective antitrust laws
all have been framed and passed ant
executed by Republicans.

The Electrical Storm on Thursday
Night
The thunder storm of Thursday eva
ening with its unusual heavy accom-
paniment of thunder and lightning was
the worst of the season, and will be
remembered for its severity. It was
pretty much the same all over the
state. and reports of the same charac-
ter came from Maryland, the lower
part of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
New York. In the latter states it was
about six O'Clock. It was two hours
later down here.
The particular feature was the crash
ing. heavy thunder, but contrary to
the belief at the time, no property was
damaged in this town or vicinity. One
of the worst sufferers was John H.
Rishop near CheswOld, whose barn on
the "Boggs farm" was struck and fred,

THE attention of the whole country
has been attracted the past two weeks
to the contest between the Knights OF
Labor and the authorities of the New
York Central railroad. The employ
ees struck because some offending men
were discharged, but inglOriOusly failed
to tie up the road, their places being
filled in few days by nOn-uniOn men.
The Knights then demanded an arbl-
tration, but Vice President Webb said
there was nothing to arbitrate, that
they had the right to discharge or en-
ploy whom they pleased of their work
man, and could not permit outside par
ties to dictate or interfere with their
private business. A Supreme Council
Of the United Order of Railroad Em-
ployees was then caAed in Terra
Hante, Ind, and members of the Con-
ference are quoted as saying that a
strike will be ordered in support of the
Knights of Labor, who claim that the
New York Central Railroad is making
war on the order by discharging its
members. Mr.. Terrence V. Powderly
general master workman of the Knights
of Labor has written a reply to Mr.. H
Walter Webb, third vice-president o.
the New York Central, cOntrOverting
Mr.. Webb's statement that the mer
were discharged for drunkenness, neg
lect of duty and insubordinatiOn. Mr.
Powderly charges that the practice o
"sweatingn prevails on the New YOrl
Central Railroad whereby foreman
levy tributes from the laborers unde
their control, and that the bosses, upOI
whose word the men were discharged
are unworthy of belief. Mr.. Webb re
plies that these charges are untrue
Mr.. Frank P. Sargent, chief of tn
Brotherhood of Fireman, quote speech
es by Mr.. Chauncy NJ. Depew, pres
dent of New York Central railroad
favoring organized labor and hearin
by the high officials of the road of th
grievances of employees. Mr.. Pow
derly said he was anxious to lear
whether Mr.. P. NJ. Arthur, chief of th
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineer
is on the side Of the workman or CO
poration, but had not been able to fin
him or hear from him. Mr.. Powder
declared the Knights would strik
whether the Supreme Council su
ports them or not. The switchm'
and yardmen on the Delaware al
Hudson Railroad at the Alo~hy al
Green Island freight yards struck Sd
urday morning on the annOun"ene
by the officials of the road that frvig
from the New York Central won
continue to be received. Men enou
to resume the freight business WI
secured by Saturday evening.
Labor has its grievances, but wher
attempts to dictate whom the emplC
ers shall employ and who not, and
what wages, then its acts become bC
dictatOrial and tyrannical.

a large SOW that was lying near it. In
addition to this gate on the farm of
Levi Anthony was demolished.
The lightning struck a number of
places throughout the county but re-
sulting in no material damage.
Sheriff FenimOre, who was out in
the storm, says the lightning struck a
tree not far from the road, setting it on
fire, making beautiful sight.
The barn on the farm of Rev w. M.
Warner near FELTON,, occupied by Char
les Layton, was struck by lightning,
about s o'clock and with its contents
destroyedby fire. Four horses, 10 tons
of hay, crop of wheat, reaper, drill, car
rriages, wagons and farm implements
were consumed. Mr.. LaytOn's loss is
about $4,000, on which he had insur-
ance to the amount of $500. The fire
was seen for twenty miles.
A big tree was blown across the
track of the D., NJ. & V. railroad be-
tween Georgetown and Redden. When
train No. 80, the Delaware division ex-
press, reached the place, about 7.1O
o'clock next morning, it was Tagged,
and had to stop while Engineer Grubb
cut away the tree.
A cyclone struck the farm of j. G.
Brice, II miles from Sassafras and
wrought great damage. Every out
building on the place including the
large barn and stables were completely
demolished. A stack yard containing
several stacks of wheat ready for the
thresher was also blown down and the
sheaves scattered everywhere.
The live stock which were up around
the building did not escape, and many
of them were fatally injured. A COW
which was near by had her back brok
en- by the falling timbers and severa
sheep and hogs were hurt.
. A carriage house on DIR. Jacobs plac
near Sassafras was blown down an,
r demolished. Several fires could b
, seen at distance but their exact lOca
I ton could not be learned. The loss o
