MR.. LIONS EXPERIENCE.
A Wilmington Linemau Rescues II

"A wilmington LiHemhu hebcues His
Family from tho Flood at Port Deposit.
Frederick Lyons, lineman employed
in this city, had thrilling experience
at Port Deposit, Nd, Sunday, Port
Deposit is Mr.. Lyons home and his
family resides there.
In anticipation Of trouble from the
flood, Mr.. Lyons FASTENED down to the
riverside town Sunday. When he
reached there the water was very high
and he had to go to his home in a boat.
The only portion of the house that could
be seen above water was the top story,
and the only way he could get to il was
in boat.
After rowing out in boat Mr.. Lyons
found that the family was still in the
house and he set about to get them to a
place of safety, which he accomplished
without any mishap.
The water was raging at the time and
it was only with the greatest difficulty
and at the peril Of the lives of the occu-
pants of the boat tina: the family was

"The Congress Just closed has been sur

ditions. Without the business depression
which eliminated soon after its commence.
ment, ana the financial panic of 1893, the
SD Congress would have had an appall-

law.
privilege dies hard. and the fight waged
against 1t mas always in the history of the
world been hard one, and victory has
never been achieved in a single battle.
All the engineering and resources
of the protection beneticiaries were en-
ployed to defeat and obstruct action by
this Congress. Misrepresentation and
calumny were resorted to without re-
strant. and monopoly, attacked In its
stronghold, has made the air vocal with its
clamor. The noise of the captains and the
shouting has prevented a calm and dispas-
sionate view of the situation. but 1t Is safe
to assert that despite all difficulties and the
merely nominal majority in the Senate,
the victory for tariff reform has been
substantial one, even though it does not
accomplish all that was aimed at in the
war.
Zone such achievement is sufficient
from one Congress. and that the party
should have suffered in giving birth to
such reform in such struggle was only
to be expected. Let us see whether its
successor will accomplish as much for the
public good"

RuMnLINe rnENOM ENo ON.
The Strange Hollow Sound Caused When
Vehicles Pass Over the New Friedrich
d.

Pavement.
At first it was only occasional comment
heard here aud there. but now so many
people confess to have noticed tue strange
rumbling sound made by vehicles AZ they
pass over certain sections of the new city
iire.brCk pavement that the matter is
worth public notice.
On West street it has been noticed and
also on King street by residents who live
above that more recently laid section on
Sixth street between Market and King.
Under certain conditions of weather il Is
very noticeable, sometimes almost startling
in the novelty of the sound and the sud
denness with which il arrests the atten-
ton. The writer has on two or three
occasions looked NJ quietly in thai direc-
ton, almost unCOnsCiOusly attracted by
the strange noise. but only to sec a light
wagon passing along slowly towards the
postotfice. 1t was supposed at first that
the phenomenon was due to possible
acoustic conditions developed in The con.
tigulty of the old Hanover Church build
ing, the big Mullin Building and the
postofiice structure. Immediately the
vehicle has passed the line of King street
at the sixth street crossing the rnmbllnG
noises cease.
1t has that hollow, orotund tone usually
heard when wagon passes from the
country road up oil 10 the plank bridge,
or still more so when the bridge is a
covered one. .... ...-
There is no explanation so far. One
theory is that the sand foundation has
fallen way slightly from the under side Of
the brick archway Of the pavement. 1t
will be remembered that these are all
slightly convex. And the claim is that
the rumbling noise is engendered by these
/ conditions

A lecturc-recital of king Lear was
given in the Unitarian Church Monday
night by S. H. Clark of the University Of
Chicago, and principal of the Chautauqua
School of Expression. The auditorium
was filled with an audience at once dis
corning and appreciative, who attentively
followed the analysis of the play and the
illustrations given by readings Of the
critical portions of the tragedy. BY
analysis, the play was separated into two
distinct parts, the one pOrtraying Gluster
and his sons and the other King Lear and
his daughters, resulting in the tragedy
caused by jealousy and political ambition
During the recital which was Il nastcrful
display of evolutionary power representing

transitions from grave to gay, eliminating

and gesture in the portrayal of the tratn
of COrdslia's affection, her murder and

King was most mas!erfully executed.
