Remains in doubt, but there
is no question about the
PORTLAND INDUSTRIAL EX-
PosITIoN-which opens Sep
tember 21st and closes October
22d, being the best Exposition
ever held on the Pacific Coast.
So far as Oregon is concerned
it will be the forerunner of the
Exposition at Chicago in
1898. The principal attrac-
tions are the magnificent
American Band of Providence,
R. 1. An art collection
valued at $35O,OOO, and en-
bracing some of the greatest
pictures owned in the United
States. Immense Horticult-
ural and Agricultural exhibits,
the result of the combined
efforts Of almost every county
in the state. A mineral ex-
hibit exceeding all former
years. A Stock Department
showing tremendous progress.
To these are added a larger
number of exhibits than ever
before; including a magnifi-
cent electrical display under
the combined Thomson-Hous-
ton and Edison Companies
All manufactures in full oper-
alton. Government models
of Battle Ships. The wonder
full Hall Of Mystery. The
marvellous Little World, the
product of a mechanical
genius; all interspersed by
novelties incident to the pop
ular special days. Every
thing new and nothing dead
Greatly reduced rates on al
transportation lines.

A War Time Relic.

A relic of the war between the states
is now on the dry dock. receiving such
minor repairs and cleaning as may be
necessary to commission her for harbor
defense. This was the second monitor
ever built, and the record of her useful
ness and her hard service may be seen
in the shot dents of the turrets, These
are painted in a color different from that
of the surrounding iron in order to en-
l'llasize their story, and they serve as an
1ert lesson to show that after all,
zen compared with our days, how in
.1c1ous were the boasted shot and shell
f the rebellion OF course it does not
make much difference whether giant
is killed by a toothpick or hoisted with
petard. He is dead all the same, and
worms will eat him. But we were
proud, and with good reason, of those
big smooth bores and of their charges in
those parlous days.
Then the theory was that for every
ten pounds of shot one pound of powder
was needed, a 90-pounder being fired
with nine pounds of powder; today we
have for each pound of powder two
pounds of shot, the 10-inch guns of the
Miantonomoh, the Nantucket's neigh
Dor, using $50 pounds of powder to drive
the 5OO-pound projectile The Nan
tucket has also sentimental interest,
for when the great Ericsson lay in state
on her decks in the harbor of New York.
she was the immediate representative of
what his genius had evoked to save the
country in time of peril, for the original
Monitor went down one dismal day of
our treacherous coast, and left as the
second product of her wonderful type
the little coast defender which now lies
half hidden within the walls of the dry
dock.-Harper's Weekly

During all this time the young man
was waiting upstairs for the merchant
to return. The reporter found him q
few minutes afterwards and engaged in
conversation with him. When informed
that his companion, the merchant, had
left him, the young man turned crimson.
He became very much excited and de-
MED all knowledge of any evil inten-
tons he might have had. He pretended
not to know anything about the mer-
chant, but his embarrassment was plain
to be seen. At this moment the 5.3S train
came laundering into the station. The
young man jumped aboard and the next
minute he was speeding away to New
York. He looked daggers at his interro-
gator as the train pulled out.

where he boarded the 6.06 train for
Washington. lie said he was positive
his companion was an imposter, and
that this accounted for his mysterious
actions, for which he could not account
before. The merchant declared that he
would make an effort to locate his son
as soon as he got home, and learn if he
knew anything concerning the stranger.

For the third time, the clergy of the
diocese of Delaware have enjoyed the
privileges of short season of retreat,
taking the form of quiet day. Some
twenty or twenty-five of the clergy, in
GLIDING representatives from Pennsyl-
vania and Easton, accepted the invitation
of the bishop to be present Thursday at
Bishopstead, whilst others were detained
by sickness or parochial duties. There
were two celebrations of the holy COM
munion, at 7.30 and 1915 a. M, the
latter followed by series of meditations
and instructions, conducted by the Rev.
DR.. Satterlee of Cavalry Church, New
York. The subjects particularly touched
upon were the VOWS of ordination of
Christian priests and the special phases
of their work as missionaries, pastors
and priests. The conductor, by his plain,
earnest words of instruction and loving
advice, won the hearts of all present, as
evnced by the rapt attention noticeable
all day. The rule OF silence was
generally observed during the day. The
clergy were Hospitality entertained at
lunch by the bishop. The services and
instructions were held in the Chapel of
tho Good Shepherd, Bishopstead.

The water pipes under the street in
front of the establishment of ]. v.
Carlisle & Co. 305 Shipley street, burst
under immense pressure on Friday,
and the moisture caused the earth about
it to crumble and cave in, making hole
under the street large enough to bury q
wagon. The accident was first discov-
cred by horse owned by the Messrs.
Carlisle, which possesses degree of in
telligence rarely shown by an animal
of this kind. The horse, attached to a
wagon, was approaching the danger
point when a portion of the earth gave
way and small hole in the earth large
enough for q horses foot was visible.
Instantly, on noticing the earth giving
way, the animal suddenly stopped and
began backing in order 10 avoid the
danger. The animal had scarcely done
so when the earth round about caved in,
revealing a great opening under ground.
Had the horse not evaded the hole, it
would have been precipitated into the
pit with probably serious results.

A W. s. N. Locomotive and Cars Thrown

NEw CASTLE, Feb. 20.--'The Wilmington

the men had miraculous escapes.
The crash was tremendous and created
great excitement in the lower part of the
town until the origin was known. The
tug James McFadderi, with the barge in
tow, left Wilmington at 0 o'clock this
morning for the wharf of the Delaware
Iron Company, to whom the freight. was
consigned. The fog vas unusually thick,
in fact so much 80 that the ice piers in the
harbor here could not be seen more than
a few feet away. The tug was attached to

FELTON'S MAMMOTH HOG.
The Biggest Porleer Ever Slaugh-
tered on Delaware Soil.

He Tipped the Beam Mt LILO Pounds
Over One Thousand Persons Assembled
to See the Huge Animal Slaughtered
and Weighed.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
FELroN, Feb. l9.-Much interest was
manifested in the killing of the large hog
owned by Reynolds Cook, proprietor of
the FELTON, House, yesterday on account Of
its immense size. The announcement had
been made some days ago that it would be
killed yesterday, and persons from all
parts Of the State assembled to witness the
killing and speculate as to its weight.
Every train brought curiosity seekers, and
the farmers for miles around drove into
town to sec the largest hog ever raised in
Delaware; o'clock was the time set for
the killing, and at that time the hog was
taken out Of its pen and shot in the pres
ence Of fully 1000 people. The shot. did
not prove fatal, so the usual method of
sticking porkers was resorted to.
After the hog had been killed and
cleaned it was hung up by heavy block
and fall. A guess-5Dx had been gotten up
at 30 cents guess. the winner to take the
hog and the proprietor of the hotel and
owner of the hog to take the contents of
the box. The hog was not weighed until
about $50 p. M, when Walter Harrington,
j, d. Eaton and n. r. Luif were chosen
| judges and the former weighed the hog,
which tipped the scales at / no pounds.
| There were over $50 guesscs in the box when
| it was opened. and Joshua c. Raughley of
| Willow Grove was found to be the winner
at ,0i5 pounds, the closest guess. The hog
was 8 feet 10 inches from tip to tip; $ feet
and q inches around the girth., stood 3 feet
"a inches in height, and was about years
of age. Notwithstanding the large crowd
here there was but one fight, though
| liquor flowed like water. In the afternoon
two men, very much intoxicated, started a
| fight which was about to become general
when Officers Dill and Smith arrested the
participants and started off toward the
| lock cup with them. The crowd made @
break for the officers and soon rescued the
men and turned them loose. No further
attempt was made to arrest them and nc
other disturbances occurred.

some Good Shmnritans propose to Pro-
perry House the Young Bachelors of the
City.
The project is reported of the pro-
posed erection here of four-story fiat
for the accommodation Of single men.
The idea is TO meet the needs of the
large numbers Of "unattached'' young
men or homeless bachelors who are the
chronic GROWERS of the town in regard
to the lodging accommodation offered
in Wilmington.
The undertaking is in tho hands of
several business men who have seen the
success of the New York flat system.
The scheme under consideration is to
build a large four-story building in a CEN
trail location. The building will be di-
vided into four sleeping apartments.
Each floor will contain 20 rooms with a
large hall running through the building
At either end of these halls finely
equipped bath and toilet rooms will be
supplied.
No meals will be supplied in the
house. On the ground floor will be To-
Gated large reception room, accessible
only to the dodgers and their friends
Each sleeping apartment will be heated
and lighted and particular attention will
be given to ventilation. The rates will
be moderate and will be arranged ac-
cording to the location of the rooms.
1t is stated that the rates will probably
be from 81 to 81 week according to
accommodation
