Doesn't Like Our Police station.

The Rev. Thomas Elgar, a prison
evangelist Of Philadelphia, visited the
police station in this city Sunday and
delivered addresses in First Presby-
terrain and Second Baptist churches and
in the headquarters Of the Young Mems
Christian Association. He was amazed
at the cramped condition of the station
house and in one of his addresses re-
marked that he thought shrll blast
came from the city prison to the citizens,
telling them that 1t would be better for
the prisoners, tie public and the police
force that a new building be built. The
new structure, he said, should be con-
structed on the plan of a separate cell
for each prisoner, for although they
may be confined only for night the
communicating influence of association
among such people ought to be depre-
Gated.

1HREE QUARRYmEn HURE.
An Unexpected Explosion at tho Brandy
wine Granite Company's Works.


wine Granite Company's Works.
AT o'clock Thursday afternoon an
explosion took place at one of the quar-
ries of the Brandywine Granite Com
pany. A gang of workmen were en-
gagged blasting out a large section of
granite rock near the creek. Michael
Mckinley, an expert blaster, was in
charge, and was assisted by John
McGonigal and Michael mckinley. An
Italian and three colored laborers were
in attendance.
The drilling had all been properly
made and the electric battery set for the
firing. This was all successfully done
and the explosion accomplished. The
blasters discovered on their return, how
ever, that one of the drill holes had not
exploded. Taking out the old tamping
and reflling is always risky business.
No one can tell but that the long fuse
may be alive at some point, and, there
lore, may explode at any moment while
the new tamping is being done.
The three men whose duty 1t is to re-
set the blast went bravely to work.
Suddenly there was another explosion,
resulting in the three blasters being
dashed violently several feet away.
Duffy, McGonigal and Mckinley had a
most marvellous escape with their lives.
All three were more or less hurt, but no
one fatally. The four assistants, three
colored men and an Italian, were thrown
to the ground, but only slightly hurt.
Duffy, who was directly over the blast
hole, was badly singed in the eyes and
face. His left hand was lacerated and
burnt. His ewes were all filled with
grit and dirt, and it looked at the time
as If he had lost his sight. McGonigal
had one of his ribs broken and his back
severely strained. Mckinley also re-
ceiyed a very severe shock, his face and
arms are very severely burned.
The men were Immediately taken to
their homes where they were attended
by Drs. John Palmer and William G.
Pierce: Michael Duffy lives at No. 1906
and John McGonigal at No. 1910
Wawaset street. Michael McGinley's
residence is No. 1909 Lincoln street.
All three are married and have families.

CURED BY PRAYER.

She had excellent medical attention and

After taking the doctors medicines and

still being bedfast, she resolved to discard
them and try the efficacy Of prayer. She
prayed earnestly for aid In getting her
mind to condition of trust in higher
power, and with her son kneeling at her
side, the two sent up heartfelt appeal for
release from the agony of the fever and
pain.

OLD BROAD GREER CHURCH.
Many Interesting Matters Recalled by
Its Recent Celebration.

Laurel Guzette.
The annual services held at old Broad
Creek Church last week recall to memory
many interesting things connected with
that old historic spot. 1t is daughter of
Stepney or Spring Hill. parish of Mary
land, and was built at the time Sussex was
under control of the Maryland colony.
The Rev. Adams, a missionary of the
society for the propagation of the gospel,
was its founder. He built "The church
at the head Of the river" lin 176S-St.
Peters Church, Salisbury, now occupies
that site, and four years later Robert
Houston Of the well known and honored
Houston family of Sussex, donated the
land as site for Broad Creek church
which was erected in 1772. Mr.. Houston
did the carpentry and the excellent
preservation OF the old building is monu-
ment to the thoroughness Of his work.
The original cost was ESQ.
This old church was the rallying point
for several companies of minute men and
during the long revolutionary struggle the
old men, the mothers and wives gathered
within its sacred walls to hear tidings of
the success or misfortune that attended
the absent defenders of their affairs and
their homes. When the fall of Yorktown
made the glad victory of American arms
the people of Sussex assembled, and the
rafters rang with praises to God for
the deliverance and prayers for the success
Of the infant republic. In 1872 the parish
was, separated from Stepney, and incorpor-
ated under the laws of Delaware. Later
the Broad Creek settlement gradually dis
persed and population centered at Laurel
and the old church stood for many years
disused and neglected. Latterly it has
been taken in hand by st. Philips of
Laurel and an annual service instituted
the second week in September. The only
repair found necessary was to mend the
roof. Otherwise the building is as it was
built over century ago.

STOCKS GO BOOMING.
Eight Hundred Thousand shares Sold in
the New York Exchange on Monday
Millions Change Hands.


Millions Change Hands.
New York, Sept. 2l.-Eight hundred
thousand shares of stock changed hands
and bonds of the value of millions of
dollars were transferred amidst great
excitement on the stock exchange to-
day, These transactions were the heaviest
known for years.
But the fortunes at stake made ii seem
to many who knew what was going on
q scene of life and death. Men with
flushed faces and husky voice bid for
thousands of shares at time, know
ing that hundreds dealing through them
would make or break as they did.
A shout as of thousand demons rang
through the exchange. The whole floor
was u moving, swaying mass. The
brokers tore about the room, jostled,
seized and maulcd one another.
Imagine 500 starving wolves in pit
tussling for shower OF meat thrown to
them, and you may be able to form a
conception of the scene in the stock ex-
change. Each man seemed to strive to
outshout the others and there was much
rough handling in the groups around the
various posts, each of which bears an
emblem showing what stock is dealt in
there.
10 explain this pandemonium of
speculation is to say that the trading
upon nations unexampled harvests
has simply run mad.
The market embodies speculative
craze among the people at large, and
under such conditions argument on the
precedents which commonly regulate
the movement of prices is likely to be
mere waste of words. The people seem
to have anchored their faith on two
great elements in the situation-the
amazing good fortune of this country in
the harvest yield and the return of our
exported gold. How far the craze will
go is only matter of conjecture.
For over month the stock market
has been rising. Each of the past few
days has been bigger one than the one
before. Each has made new record.
To-day the dealings in stocks during
the first two hours were over 100000
shares, and for the day over 100000.
If stocks Of problematical value went
as if on the Withstand they did
bonds of fixed intrinsic worth, as repre-
senting the selling price of the property
bonded, went like so much plotting
paper.
A word or two and hundreds of thou
sands in these real values had been
transferred. There were four or five
millions in this line representing the
dollars handled for the day. II was
day to be remembered all around.
