THE 1000 Republicans in Wilmington

THE 1000 Republicans in Wilmington
returned US dellnquents are not tho
only persons returned. There are at
least 5000 Democrats In the same
boat The only difference between the
two is that the taxes of the Republi.
cans have been paid, while no taxes, or
the next thing to none, have been paid
Tor the Democrats. But the latter al
ways turn up with tax receipts all the
same.

The instant execution of four crimi-
nails at Sing Sing penltentiary, New
York, yesterday morning by electricity,
fully demonstrates the power and
efficacy Of that agency in the execu-
tion OF criminals. That it is superior
to the hanging system is evident on
account OF the secrecy attending it and
the despatch with which it is effected.
The criminals are permitted the same
privileges of spiritual counsel allowed
them under the old system, and they
have tho same opportunities 10 pre-
pare for their approaching end. The
thought of an instant and painless
death to them in the electrical chair,
can at least be no more horrible than
the thought OF a probable extension Of
misery and suffering dangling from q
gallows even for few minutes.
In humane point of view, execu
tlons like those at Sing Sing yesterday
morning, are to be preferrad in every
respect. The electrical system doe,

ELKroN. Nh, Nov. 22.-Thc corner stone
of st. Agnes Roman Catholic Church, now
being erected at Rising Sun was laid this
afternoon In the presence of about l,5OO
persons. The services began upon the
arrival Of special tram with GOO persons.
The RI. Rev. Bishop Curtis of Whining
ton, OBLIGATED, assisted by Revs. Joseph
Barry of Baltimore Joseph 7. u. Fitz-
gerald of Hayre de Grace, j. d. Carey Of
Port Deposit, J. Kelly of West Grove, and
A. Leonard of Wilmington. A platform
had been erected for the bishop and his at
tendants, which was also occupied by the
choir from the Elkton, Havre de Grace
and Port Deposit churches. Father Fitz-
gerald delivered an eloquent sermon ON
the house of God" At the close of his
remarks, the bishop said that there can be
but one fold and one shepherd, as told in
the gospel by the saviour himself. Those
present contributed in liberal manner to
encourage the energetic pastor, Rev. ]. ID.
Carey Of Port Deposit, in his undertaking
in establishing Catholic church IN Rising
Sun.
Fire here last night destroyed double
dwelling house and two single ones, all
frames, belonging to William b. Heat2ig,
on Howard street, in East Elkton. The
loss is estimated at about 5000, partly In
sured. The origin of the fire is said to be
the explosion OF lamp in the basement
in the side of the single house occupied by
Il. d. Rowland. The gas meter of the
Elkton Gaslight Company, short distance
from the fire, was endangered. The Will
mington fire companies were telegraphed
for. but the newly.organized fire company
at this, their first fire, proved equal to the
emergency with the two old hand engines.
This makes five buildings lost by Mr..
Heatzig the past few months by fire. Ida
Hutchinson, the colored girl in whose
hands the lamp exploded, is badly burned
and will probably die.

away. When opposite the Opera House
he collided with team belonging to

runaway some distance, as well as demol-
ishing the dearborn. Fortunately nobody
was hurt, although Mrs. Fennimore with
her child were Just being assisted into the
carriage, and had it been few moments
later the results would undoubtedly have
been serious.
MIR. Malcolm Cochran had valuable
colt killed in peculiar manner on

side and died in few moments evidently
from the effects of the blow caused by the
head coming in contact with the ground,

The farmers of this immediate vicinity
are nearly through their corn harvest and
owing to the limited demand are holding

There is great amount of complaint
among would-be residents owing to the
scarcity of houses to rent.
The storm of Monday did but little
damage IN this community, beyond few
out-buildings being capsized, and one or
two stacks of hay blown down, the damage
in all cases being slight.
II is reported that Thomas G. Murphey,
residing near town, has disposed Of his
farm to Pennsylvania parties, and will re-
move to town in the spring.
Sales bills announcing the retirement of
several of the well-known farmers of this
vicinity are already posted, the inability
to procure help in the houses and fields
being the principal cause for abandoning
the farms. A great number of the agri-
culturists have been reduced to extremities
in getting their crops harvested during the
past seasons.

Here is little story, clipped from an
exchange, which goes to illustrate a
rock-bottomed truth too many are prone
to lose sight of--that individual energy
and enterprise will always produce bet.
ter things than protected" industry !:
In the year 1879 Mr.. Lewis Swift, astrono-
mer OF Rochester, N. Y, poor man, was
making an unusual number Of comet dis
coverics by means Of iour-fuot telescope
which he had mounted on top of n cider
null. Night after night, even when the
Thermometer was below zero and the snow
was drifted deep on top of the mill, Mr.
swift would lie encased in sleeping bag
and muilled completely, watching the
stars and searching for comets. His pluck
his enthusiasm and his astronomical zeal
aroused the admiration Of Mr.. H. H..
warner, then prominent and we'll
known dealer in bank and burrlar-proOf
safes. Impressed with Mr.. Swifts quail
ties, MI. Warner voluntarily offered to
Dnlld MI swift suitable observatory and
equip 1t with a proper telescope. The
offer was gladly accepted, and to-day the
Warner Observatory Of Rochester n. ",
is by far the finest private observa-
tory in the world, while the telescope
II contains ranks only fourth in the size Of

every discovery Of comets made upon the
American continent. This offer stimu-
lated discovery throughout the entire land
ana Mr. Warner was compelled to pay
thousands Of dollars in prizes, One day a
telegram was received BY Prof. Swift from
Nashville Tenn, announcing the dscov-
cry of comet by man named Barnard.
lie was comparatively unknown TO science,
hut was known as u photographers Ills
discovery was verified and the prize duly
awarded. His gratitude was most sincere,
az II enabled him % procure larger tele-
scope than the small one he was then
using. With addultlacilities and Increased
zeal Mr.. Barnard began searching tile
heavens anew, and many brilliant discov-
cries were the result. This is one of the
many results Of the stimulation given to
astronomical science through the Warner
Observatory.
