LIGHT AND WATER.

Adoption of Rules and Regulations
Regarding Both.
At meeting of the Light and Water
Commission on Tuesday evening, q set of
rules regulating the prices and use of water
together with the rates for the use of the
electric light were adopted. There is little
change in the water rates as will be seen by
the advertisement in another column, but
the electric light charges have been reduced
almost one half. The commission will fur
nish nothing less than 16 candle power for
house and commercial use, and we think
the rates adopted will come within the
reach of all. For house use the price is so
cents for single lamp, and for Is it is only
$40 for commercial use it will be 40 cents
per single light or $3.50 for Is. The boilers
have arrived and will be put in place in a
few days. The work on the building is
about completed, but it will be almost the
first of September before the light is
turned on

Live Stock.
There has been considerable loss of prop
erty by lightning this summer, the storm on
Tuesday night being especially destructive.
A large barn and stable on q farm Of
General William McKenney, situated near
Crumpton, was entirely destroyed by fire
caused by lightning. The building was
comparatively new and cost 81, 800. 1t was
insured in the Montgomery Insurance Com
pany.
The lightning also struck the large barn
on Albert McLane's farm near Cherry Hill
and set it on fire. The flames not only
consumed the building but the harvested
crops as we'll. The live stock and portion
of the farming implements were saved.
The loss is roughly estimated to be be 90, 500;
partially insured.
During the same storm three horses were
struck and killed on the Bennett farm, in
the second district, Md, tenanted by, Miss
Mary Malone. Loss $500.
+ During the thunder storm which pre-
vailed on Tuesday night lightning struck

Newark. A number of the states were
torn off, but, fortunately, the building did
not take fire.

Heavy Wheat Yield.

Among the heavy yields of wheat this
season, there are some that by far exceed
the expectations of growers. 1t was
thought that Register of Wills Cooch took
the palm at S3a bushels to the acre. But
Recorder of Deeds Shallcross beats that, as
his average is IS bushels. But the largest
yield yet is that of Jonathan K Williams,
near Odessa, who averaged so bushels to the
fsre on land formerly occupied by aspara
gus, and on field of 100 acres the average
yield is 80 bushels, which, for so large an
acreage, is the largest average in this coun.
ty, If not on the peninsula.

A singular Epo

A very singular freak of nature in the
way of an egg, came under our notice this
week. 1t was laid by one of Mr.. John
solloway's hens, and at first was only
notable for its size, being much larger than
an ordinary double yolk egg. When the
outer shell was broken. it was found to
contain, besides the white of an egg,
another perfect egg in hard and well
formed shell Of the usual size. In fact it
was an egg within an egg.

Free Silver.

At the very base of the demands al
most universally made by the South
and West exists this very simply pro-
position and one that any reasoning
man can appreciate: destroy the
power of one-half the money and you
double the power of the other half.
This is fundamental principle of po-
litical economy, and all the circumlo-
cutOry virbasity of the monometalists
cannot hide the underlying truth.
1t may be asked here why the East
does not then favor free silver. The
East, as represented by their spokes.
men, is the treasury that has boarded
the gold supply of the country. The
banks of the ATLANTIC coast literally
control the gold Of this country, and
this being the case, our primary prin-
ciple above proves their reasons for
wanting gold standard. Gold being
their principle property they naturally
want every dollar doubled in value.
and they Eal aaosd to pay high to have
this done. Another class OF the East,
and the two comprise tue far greater
portion, are the protected manufacture
ers, to whom high tariff makes up
the difference in deprecated curren-
cy. SO l1ng as HEY aks protested from
its influences they care not how soon
the country is put on a single standard.
These facts account FOR the East being
solid for gold basis.
But with the South and West it is
vastly different. As section it pro-
duees what Id necessary 10 eat and
wear. 1t has no gold properties as the
East has, that would be doubled in
value by cutting down Of the curren-
cy; but 1t has the products of labor to
sell, the price of which would be de-
creased 81 per cent Wy SUCH reduction.
And here comes that fundamental prin-
ciple again-by destroying the power
of one half the money you double the
purchasing power of the other half.
Those who have the gold would lind
their possessions doubled in value
while those who have labor or its pro-
Ducts to sall YeHid lnd that TWICE as
much would be required to purchase a
dollar. John Locke. in his considera-
ton of money, said: THE greater
scarcity of money enhances Its price
and increases the scramble, there be-
ing nothing that does supply the want
of it; the lessening of lis quantity.
therefore, Always increases its prize
and makes an equal portion of it ex-
change for q greater of any Other
