of his ability. The whole country has
reason to feel safer against cholera in.

The Baltimore Sun regards it as just
possible that the proposed interment
of Mind Reader Seymour until crop
of barley is grown upon his grave may
be attended by good results, should
Seymour come out of his tomb all right
and his experiment find imitators. "The
Rocky Mountain Governor, who wants
to ride through blood up to his bride
reins, the Kansas Governor who is
thirsting for gore, and several of the
more ferocious silver men in the west"
says the Sun, might be persuaded to
submit to interment, and then measures
could be taken to retard the ripening Of
the barley" The Sun has overlooked
the Anarchist Governor Altgeld of Hi.
nois. He might be buried without wait
ing for the result of Seymour's expert
ment, and it might be an improvement
TO bury him extra deep and let him
stay underground until the locality Of
his resting place has been forgotten.

stroyed.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 15.-The Coats
worth elevator, situated on Michigan
and Ganson streets, having capacity
of 100000 bushels and valued at
three quarters of million dollars, was
totally destroyed by fire at o'clock this
morning. About dozen frame struc.
lures, mostly saloons and dwellings, were
also burned.
The fire started shortly after 8 o'clock,
in the tower, and the flames being out
of the reach of the firemen spread un-
checked to every part Of the roof and
then worked their way downward.
The Kellogg elevator and big lum.
Der yard were on fire several times, but
the flames were extinguished before
gaining any great Roadway.
At 4.30 o'clock the elevator building
fell in and the sheet of flame being thus
lowered and famed by high wind,
jumped to row of II small buildings
on the west side of Michigan street, 10
or dozen of which were destroyed.
The loss is about $500, 900, fairly GOV
cred by insurance.

The September Forum will publish
an article on Confederate Pensions"
in which the remarkable fact is shown
that there are 100000 more pensioners
on the government pension-rolls than
there ever were soldiers in the Con-
federate service. This reminds one of
the old Confederate boast that it "took
five Yankees to lick one Rebel" OF
course, the boast was all idle one, but
the size of the pension-roll at this day,
nearly thirty years after the cessation
Of hostilities, would readily incline any
one not acquainted with the full facts
to the belief that the United States
government put into the field for the
suppression of the late rebellion the
most stupendous army, in point of num-
bers, that the world ever saw. AS a
matter of fact, however, the army of
pensioners at this late day is larger than
the greatest available fighting force that
the government had in the field at any
time during the four years of the re-
hellion.

Governor Tillman Of South Carolina
is having serious trouble with the ad-
ministration Of his peculiar liquor law,
and he is now arming his constshles
with reyolvers to ovorawe people who
object to being compelled to patronize
his dispensary bars. In an interview he
is reported to have declared that the
South Carolinians should take their
beverages according to law "if it is
necessary to kill half dozen or a hun.
bred people" Governor Tillman seems
to be as cranky in his way as Governor
Altgeld or Governor Waite. 1t is a
great year for cranky governors.

Local fishermen will find interesting
reading in the article headed, "Where
Good Fishing is Found" copied from
the Baltimore Sun, which is printed
elsewhere in to-day's paper. The fishing
grounds therein described in such seduc-
tive terms are in Maryland waters, but
they are not far from Wilmington, and
are SO convenient of access that the local
disciples Of the lovely and gentle Izaak
Walton will find no difficulty in reach
ing them and testing the virtues so gen.
erously ascribed to them by the CORE
spondent of our Baltimore contemporary.

The Jacksonville Times Union said
one day last spring, with almost as much
truth as wit, that many people regard
Florida as chiefly made up of climate
and hotels. But the men who are
building the famous hotels-Flagler on
the Atlantic and Plant on the Gulf coast
ARE likewise constructing railroads and
otherwise rapidly developing the natural
resources and possibilities of that won
derful State, which is to the Atlantic
coast what southern California is to the
Pacific. Mr.. Flagler's latest great hotel
venture, the Royal Poinciana on Lake
Worth, is to be ready for occupancy by
February, while the new Indian River
railroad thereto is under contract to be
completed in November. The two
multi-millionaires who are doing so
much between them to open up Florida
do not make two bites Of their cherries.
Of course they have their own interests
in view, but the work they are doing in
the land of oranges and alligators is one
that is causing the State to grow rapidly
| in population and wealth.

At Mondays special meeting of the
Philadelphia Councils an ordinance was
introduced and referred, authorizing the
mayor to negotiate with Secretary Car
Isle for the sale to the government of
the city's slice of the approved mint site,
at Broad and Cherry streets. There is
a disposition to push the ordinance
through as early as practicable. The
price at which the mayor is empowered
10 dispose of the property is stated at
mot exceeding $4,000" which is tile
present assessed valuation. This is a
fair offer and it is understood that the
other owners Of the lots on the mint site
are ready to accept reasonable offers
for their holdings, with the exception Of
the Wistar brothers, who own a lot at
the northeast corner Of Broad and
Cherry, which they refuse to sell at any
price. This" says Philadelphia paper,
sis in accordance with their own private
policy as real estate owners IN holding
on to the land-a policy which savors
much Of selfish stubborness and which,
on one or two occasions, has stood in
the way of public improvements" Secre-
tary Carlisle is being urged by the press
of that city to institute condemnation
proceedings without delay should the
Wistars persist in their refusal TO come
70 terms.

Some comment, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, has been made upon the fact
that pulp mill in Wisconsin IN which
President Cleveland and several we'll
known Democrats are said to be
interested had shut down for two
weeks, and this suspension of work
was pointed to as another indication Of
business uncertainty and hard times. 1t
is now reported that the shutdown is
made annually to allow repairs. I'M
doubtedly many other suspensions which
are chronicled are of usual occurrence at
this time of year and without significance
from the industrial standpoint. The
Ledger gives in another column an in
stance Of the "kind of news being dished
up by men who are trying to aggrayate
business distress by exaggerating the
accounts given of the closing of mills
and workshops" The Hecla Iron Works
of Brooklyn, having been reported as
shutting down, the proprietors of the
same publish card in which they say
1--WE are running full force and have
contracts enough ahead to keep us busy

There is a Philadelphia judge who
will not permit instalment men to take
the law in their own hands in his
bailiwick. A case was brought to his
attention last week. The complainant,
widow, had purchased carpet for
which she was to pay $50, in install
ments. The bill of sale contained the
usual clause giving the seller the right
to go upon the premises and reclaim the
property if the conditions were not
lived up to. Time went on until the
widow had paid $22 on the carpet. She
failed to raise the next instalment in
time, but the full period for the pay
ment of the remaining IS had not ex-
pired-although this did not seem, from
the press reports, to have much to do
with the case. Shortly after the first
default the seller sent man to the
house who proceeded to rip the carpet
from the floor and carry 1t away. The
| judge, upon hearing the widows state
ment of this high handed action, al
once cited the instalment man to appear
before him. The latter came, of course,
for the court had made it very plain
that he must come; and he produced
his contract and claimed il as his war
rant for the act of his agent. "That
contract" said the judge, "sets up a
claim unknown to the law; it would
not stand in any court in the country
The Judge further considered that the
widow had a SEE lien on the carpet
while the party who had taken forciblt
possession thereof had only IS in it
you have committed burglary" sale
he, land the best thing you can do is t.
send that carpet back at once and hav'
it put down as you found it." Thu
seller promised that this should be done
The same question came up in our owl
courts, under the late Chief justice
Comegys, in case involving the un
lawful removal of parlor organ, ant
the issue was about the same. Thu
court held that the taking away Of tn
organ, without legal proceedings, wa
an act Of larceny and laid down tn
law, giving the seller his remedy in
writ Of replevin and action for debt, a

further, that Mr.. Cleveland does not

WILMINGTON. THURSDAY, a UG. II,

The approaching introduction of the
electric locomotive in the b. & D. tunnel
inspires the Baltimore Sun to discuss
entertainingly the comparative adyan
tages of steam and electricity and the
probability of the latter ultimately
usurping the field, just as steam has
taken the place Of water power within
she current century. The law of the
conservation of energy teaches that
power is never generated, in the strict
sense of the word. 1t is merely trans
formed. Force, so far as we know, is
eternal and indestructible, When we
say that it is dissipated, we merely mean
that it has been transformed into forms
no longer useful or apparent. When
we say that it has been generated, we
mean that latent force has been set free
and made seryiceable. The amount of
latent force in a ton of coal can be ac-
curately determined, and of this the
best and largest steam engines are capa-
bic of utilizing only about 10 per cent.
The other 80 per cent is dissipated
through the imperfections of the APP
paratus employed. Moreover the diff
,ulty of dividing or distributing the
power derived from the steam engine is
very great and is always attended with
considerable loss. A very small per-
centage of the force generated in the en-
gines at the power-house of cable trac-
ton street car company, for example,
is employed in drawing the cars over
the rails. The remainder is wasted in
overcoming the friction of the cable
itself. The same thing is true in manu-
factories, where shafting and betting
absorb very appreciable portion of the
power employed. The force of electricity
is, on the other hand, readily divided
and subdivided, and can be conveyed to
considerable distances with little loss. A
generator of electricity, therefore, which
will utilize even one-tenth of the energy
of burning coal will have an advantage
at once over any form of steam engine
for almost any purpose; and especially
is this the case in locomotion. The dis
coyery and application of practica
and cheap method of generating cleo
tricity directly from heat, without tn
intervention of the steam engine, is tn
problem upon which the coming revo
luton hinges. Methods of obtaining
electricity in this manner are alread.
known, but the cheap and practicabl
one, available on large scale, is yet +
be found. The twentieth century vii
doubtless see many wonderful thing
and accomplish many wonderful re
suits, but we can anticipate none NOR
noteworthy than the revolution whic
will put electricity in the place Of stear
and make the steam engine and tn
steam locomotive objects of antiquaria
curiosity.
