"Ned" Thomas Disappears.

A dispatch from Atlantic City to
the Philadelphia North american,
Tuesday says: Edward S. Thomas,
faniliarly known among the theatrical
and sporting fraternity as 6 Ned y
Thomas, has disappeared. leaving a
large number of debts and obligati ons
for borrowed money. Thomas is about
forty-one years of age, and formerly
lived at Smyrna, Del. He has been
connected with several well-known re-
sorts in Philadelphia, and has been a
negro minstrel of considerable promi-
nence. -
Thomas is well-known in Delaware,
and during his boyhood days resided
at Odessa. He has had a checkered
career. His debut into minstrelsy was
not entirely without success, and his
company have played to Middletown,
audiences more than once. Whatever
can be said of him no one can truth
fully say that he was not kind-hearted,
but his other failings have placed him
where he is.
Since last May he mas kept the bar
of Congress Hall at Atlantic City.
Albion F. Allen, the proprietor was
to receive in addition to the rent,
percentage of the receipts, but thess
had been very small. although the

TO MAKE 1T A SHIP CANAL.
THE CHESAPEAKE & DELAWARE CA
NAL MAY BE SO IMPROVED.

Prof. Lewes M. Haupt, of the civil
engineering department of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, recently made an
inspection of the Chesapeake Sc Della
ware Canal with reference to it's capa-
city for enlargement to ship canal di-
mensions. The inspection was salts
factory in every respect. Mr.. Joseph
e. Gillingham of Philadelphia, presi-
dent of the canal company, is heartily
in favor of the project, and it is ex-
pected that the canal directory will in
dorse the project. It is proposed to
form a company of New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore capitalists to
push the enterprise. Senator Hig-
gins of Delaware is looking into the
matter, and it is said that Senator
German is also interested.
Prof. Haupt makes an estimate for
improving the canal to bottom
width of so feet, 81 feet draught, 141
feet top width, with the one tidal lock.
as follows: Dredging, 10,OS1. .729,
cubic yards at Is cents, $1,512. .259
auxiliaries S634. 500, contingencies
S214, ,375-total, So, 1858, ,135.
The canal so improved would give a
route from Baltimore to Philadelphia
112 miles long. The route around the
Peninsula now being 422 miles, this
would be a saving of 80 miles each
way. This, in Professor Haupt's
opinion, would be an enormous ad-
vantage to Baltimore, giving short
outlet to the Sea for the city's i'm
mense grain trade. Baltimore, in his
opinion, occupies the strategic point
on the Atlantic seaboard. being the
nearest to the sea of any of the large
cities. and having about 35 states trib-
utary to it.

The Steamer Christina Burned.

The propeller steamer Christina. of
the New Jersey and Wilmington Ferry
Company, was completely destroyed by
fire early Monday morning. The boat
runs between Pennsville, Pennsgrove.
and Wilmington, and was tied up at
Pennsgrove for the night. The con
fagration started in the fire room
about 3 O'Clock, and was first discover
ed by the steward, Smith Hewitt.
Howard Hiles, the purser, barely es.
capped with his life. He had to run
through the flames to reach the wharf.
Hiles lost all his clothing except the
underwear he had on, and $25 of the
company's money.
The fire spread so rapidly that moth
ing could be done to save the boat. so
the lines were cut, and the tide carried
the vessel half a mile below the Pepns-
grove wharf, were she broke in two
and sank. The loss is estimated at
SIG, 900. The steamer Delaware took
the place of the burned boat.
The Christina was built at Rondout.
N. T., four years ago, and was 115
feet long. She had been running on
the present line for three years.

THE END OF THE WORLD.
REV. "A. N. KEIGWIN SAYS IT WILL
COME IN FIVE YEARS MORE.

The Rev. A. N. Keigwin, pastor Of
the West Presbyterian Church Of VIII
mington, and formerly of Middletown,
believes that in 1897 the Jews will be
restored to their country and will bnild
the temple in which Christ will enter
at his second coming. He also believes
that the second coming Of Christ will
take place soon and that we are at the
threshold of what is the beginning of
the end of the world
So few people really study the Bible
that these views may sound somewhat
novel, but the Rev. Mr.. Keigwin bases
all of his beliefs on the Bible and he
furnishes ample warrant for them by
quotations from the scripture. The
Book of Revelations has been the source
of the most intense and interesting
study to him for twenty years. and he
has just become sufficiently convinced
of the truth of his beliefs to hazard
public mention Of them. Since last
winter, he has been preaching a series
of sermons on the development of
religious age, and the hot weather has
interrupted the series. Early in the
fall. he proposes to continue his sermons
on this subject, and at their conclusion
he may publish them in pamphlet or
book form.
The Rev. Mr.. Keigwin bases his
belief in the prophecy concerning the
restoration of the Jews to their country
in 1897, on chapter II, verse 2. of the
Book of Revelations, which says of
the Gentiles "and the holy city shall
they tread under foot forty and two
weeks" This represents 1850 days,
which according to Biblical calcula-
tions, is equivalent to as many years.
The mosque of Omar, which occupies
the supposed site of the temple in
Jerusalem, was built in 637, which
added to tie 1 ,260 years during which
the Gentiles shall tread the site under
foot, will bring the time to 1897.

improvements at Cape Henlopen
City.

A meeting was held in the Henlopen
parlor, at Cape Henlopen City, on
Wednesday the 18th inst, which
promises good results. The priDci-
pal business before the meeting was
the consideration of public improve
ments on the beach, such as the con-
struction of new and wide board
walk the entire length Of the beach and
the driving of an additional line of
piles in addition to the present line,
this being done for the protection of
the little bluff on which the present
and dilapidated board walk IS placed.
The city fathers are not troubled with
an excess of funds by any means, but
these improvements seemed to be abso-
lutely necessary and were accordingly
decided upon. The new canal route lies
through part of the associations
land, and for the right Of way S100 has
been offered by the government. This
will be accepted and the trees on the
canal site will be used in constructing
the new walk. An effort will also be
made to get the excavated dirt to make
an ocean bulk-head.

A REPUBLICAN friend sends THE
TRANSCRIPT copy of the New York
Tribune containing an article in which
great stress is laid upon the extensive
way In which the manufacture of tin
plate is going on in the United States.
The article gives some big figures and
statements which we do not believe
can be substantiated. However that
may be we know that our friend who
sent us the article is sincere 10 his be.
lief in protective tariff, but we also
know that he is viewing the question
from the wrong side. This is pre-emi-
nently the land of the free, a country
In which the oppressed are supposed to
find relief from burdensome taxation
as well as from ills of other kinds, it is
supposed to be governed by the people
and for the people, that is, for the
greatest good to the greatest number.
Under the tariff system now in vogue
the greater number get the least good.
AS an instance take the manufacture
of tin-plate ; will the greater number
receive any benefit from the manufac-
tnre of tin-plate2 In answer to this,
admitting the truthfulness of the
article referred to, we may say that the
experience of Gamers who use great
quantities of tin-plate is directly op-
posed to the statement OF the high
tariff advocates. The Gamers buy
tin-plate and employ men to make cans
from it and afterward employ great
numbers of persons to fill the cans
with fruit, vegetables or meats:
Heretofore all tin-plate used here
has been imported and the duty paid
thereon was one cent per pound.
Under the Mckinley law we pay two
and one-ffth cents per pound. This
more than double tax was laid to en-
courage the manufacture of tin here.
Since the new law became operative,
assuming that the Tribune article is
correct, quite number of tin-plate
mills have been put in operation, and
in this connection we would ask for an
explanation of the statement made at |
the time the law was passed, to the
effect that the price to the consumer
would not be increased. There is one
cannery in St. Georges Hundred, en-
ployiDg nearly all the working people
of q small town. which paid $500
more for tin-plate in 1891 than in 1890.
The consequence is that unless there
is change the working people of that
town will lose their positions and the
will lose the money Invested
In his plant. AS it is in this case so
It is all over the Peninsula.
We see that the price Of tin-plate

% the contrary, now let US ses who

Bnkins, the humorist, scratched his head,
"It's hard to be always funny" he said:
ITO turn out two columns u week Of wit,
Its enough to make my poor head split"
Just then, down tho stairs. with CHATTER and
noise,
Came into the room his fair-haired boys;
Haryld the gray-eyed, Willie the blue,
And star-eyed Teddy, just turned two.
How they leased him-each merry lad;
They pulled his hair-what little he had;
And the questions that came from each little eif
Poor Bilkins' head swan round and round
Until he could scarcely sec the ground,
Till he suddenly thought of brilliant scheme,
And his countenance shone with a smile SUI
preme.
About their questions and their noise:
OF what they did and what they said,
But chiefly he wrote of little Ted.
Ere long the letter was almost through
Finished, oil but q sentence or two
"I'm glad that's over" so BillIins said,
And he went for n frolic with little Ted.
So the manuscript lay on the dusk all night,
But visitor came before the light,
And left that house to a desolate day,
For he took little gold-haired Teddy away.
Ahl The world seemed bleak and drcar that
night
AS BillSins sat down to his desk to write
1.-THE living must live tho the loved are dead;
1 must finish this lettcr'i-so Bilkins said.
Then he wrote, while his heart was numb with
pain,
OF n tease who would never tease again:
And he wrote, tho the page was blottcd With
tears,
or brave little Tcddy's hopes and fears.
Then the last words, that were almost prayer
And almost a cry of dark despair
About men who work and women who weep
While gold-haired Teddy lies still-asleep.
Over the country the papers sped;
And BillIins letter was widely read.
They laughed at the prSnks of the gold-haired
boys,
And smiled over Tcddys childish joys.
But when they came to the sad last part,
An aching came into each mothers heart;
And each father said, as he looked away:
"Whyl Bilkins isn't so funny to-day"
