Only Worrying himself.

SbhlOEu NcNss
The chosen weekly theme of the new
editor of the Middletown Transcript has
been to inform his readers of his disagree
ments with EVERY EVENING. In his last
issue he tells them it is no pleasure for him
to disagree with EVERY EVENING. This is
surprising bit of information. If 1t is
no pleasure to him IL is surely none to
anybody else. II he has chosen to make
people miserable he doesn't seem to sue
coed in worrying anybody but himself.
His last move, in connection with other
things, IS to charge EVERY EVENING with
insulting Governor Marvil. We have been
constant reader of EVERY EVENING and
heve found it very dlgnitied. respectful
and often very complimentary toward the
late Governor but the editor of the Tran
script seems to be one of those dissatisfied
individuals who would not recognize a
loodtide of compliments and kindness il
he was pitched into the middle of it, but
would run his legs Off to catch up with an
insult, for himself or his party. that any
other sentinel of virtue wouldn't discover
with spy glass.

A Rope Factory Will bo Started by
Thomas Downward of This City and
Some Kcystone state Capitalists In Our
Neiglboring city.
Thomas Downward, living at No. sos
Elliott avenue, has patented u twiae
and rope manufacturing machine which
is claimed To be far superior to any
other now in use. ltis purely his own
invocation and he has been almost 10
years completing 1t. Mr.. Downward is
carpenter as we'll as rope maker, and
all the patterns for the machine were
made by him in his own shop.
The machine will make any kind of
Irvine or rope and will ball II at the
same time, something that no other one
will do. 1t Is simple in construction and
occupies very little space. IL is free from
delicnte PARTS which, are a source Of
annoyance in most pieces of machinery
Of improved patterns. Buttwo belts are
used In working ii.
Mr.. Downward wanted to have a fac
tory put up in Wilmington to use his
patent and Manufacture rope and Irvine
ON large scale, but he could not gain
the assistance of any of the local capi-
talists. Some Pennsylvania gentle
men saw the machine, however, and
will take hold of it and start a plant in
Chester Mr.. Downward will he a
member of the firm also and in all
probability will superintend the plant.
II was expected that the final arrange
ments would be made yesterday, but
one of the prospective partners is i'll,
and negotiations are at standstill until
he RECEIVERS sufficiently to come to this
city.
The only machine that has been made
from the patterns has been erected IN
Mr.. Downward's shop, in the rear of
| his residence, where the inventor
demonstrates its workings to those who
call to see it.
In all probability the machines which
| will be used in the Chester plant will
be made in this city. Bids for making
them have been asked from severa
local machine shops. The capacity OF
the ono which is on exhibition is 25(
pounds Of rope yarn per day. The
fothers will be of different sizes and
capabilities.
Thomas Downward was in the rope
business with his father, James Down
ward, at Pennsylvania avenue ant
Franklin street, many years ago. TIT
| firm also manufactured bale rope oil
the Schofield property, where the Coo
Spring reservoir now stands. At on
time they manufactured all the gill rope
for making nets, that was used in tn
city.
For several years Thomas Downwart
has been engaged in farming and fo
the past decade has spent most OF hi
time in working on his invention.

A Movement to Have tho Statue Un-

There is movement on foot to have
the Garfield monument unveiled on
Decoration Day, as the statute is well
nigh completed now and will be finished

those interested in the new statute to
have the monument unveiled with Grand

no other, Decoration Day has been sug.

The Department Commander of the

THE PApAL ENCYCLlCAL.
1t Refers to the Union of tho Anglican

LONDON, April l9.-Thc papal en-
cyclical in regard to the union OF the
Anglican and Roman Catholic church,
ana which will be published here to-
morrow, is addressed to the English
people, who seek the kingdom of Christ
in unity of faith" 1t opens With an ex-
preston Of long.cherished desire TO
address them in special letter, and
thus give the illustrious English race
token of sincere affection. Continuing,
tho Pope says;
We are further moved thereto by noting

eternal salvation through unity OF faith.
God is our witness to how keen our wish
is that some effort of ours might tend TO
assist and further the great work OF
obtaining the reunion of Christendom,
After citing the evidences of the love
and care of the Roman Pontits Tor
England from the time of Gregory the
Great, his Holiness alludes to the exer-
tons made by England to solve the
social question for religious character,
charitable objects, the strict observance
of Sunday aud the general spirit OF re-
spect for the Scriptures and the various
manifestations of the power and resour-
ces of the British nation. The Pope de-
clarcs that mems laeors, whether public
or private, will not attain full efficacy
without appeals to God in prayer and
without the Divine blessing. He dwells
upon the increasing need of unity
among those holding the Christian faith

by the very divisions and confessions Of

The Big Three-msstrd Schooner John
Dasey Runs Into Market Street Bridge
and Serious Calamity is Narrowly
Aserted.
Tho big three.niasted schooner job n
Dasey crashed into the draw of Market
street bridge on Friday, and the fact
that the tide was running up at the
time was the only thing that prevented
a serious calamity. AS it was, the bow
Of the boat was pretty badly damaged
and some of the iron work on the bridge
was twisted considerably. The damage
was not so bad to either, however, as to
render them useless.
The Dasey had been unloading some
lumber at the wharf of S. q. Simmons
&c Bro, at Orange street, and was bound
out TO the wharves of the George w.
Bush g. Sons Co., to unload the re-
.mainder of the cargo at tho time the
collision occurred. The schooner was
in tow of the Philadelphia tug w. w.
Graham, and was proceeding through
the south channel a. slow rate OF
speed. The tug had gone through the
draw all right, but just before the
schooner entered it became unmanage-
able and swung around and ran into
the draw.
The boat suffered considerably and
tho bowsprit ran up on the iron work,
lifting the bow of the boat up several
feet. While in this position tue bowsprii
became fast to the bridge and it was
necessary to wait until the tide should
rise sufficiently to free the lumber
schooner. In about 20 minutes this was
accomplished and the boats proceeded
on their way. The amount Of damage
done TO the schooner is not known
while that sustained by the bridge is
not serious.
1t was very fortunate that the tide
was running in, for had 1t been going
out the schooner might have been upset
and the end of the draw torn off.
