BRIpE EAGER FoR DIVoRcE.

EASTON, Nd, Oct civilian r.
Martin is the attorney for Mrs. Helen
c. Emory, and has filed for her a bill
in the Circuit Court for Talbot county
to set aside and have declared null and
void her recent alleged marriage to
Richard II. Green, Jr.. of Annapolis.
The bill of complaint alleges that
Green was a married man at the time
of the alleged marriage to Mrs. Emory
which. therefore, was not a marriage.
Her uncle, Captain John w. Maruh'
does not, of course, appear as a party
to the proceedings, nor do any OF Mrs.
Emory's other relatives. The writ
issued under this bill for divorce was
served upon Richard Green, Jr., IN tne
Anne Arundel Jail at Annapolis on frl,
day. Green is in Jail upon a charge OF
having embezzled a large sum OF
money belonging to the Annapolis
Bank, of which he was an official'

ANNIVERSARY OF PENN'S COMING,
TWO HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN
YEARS AGO HE FIRST SET FOOT
ON LAND AT NEW CASTLE.

ON LAND AT NEW CASTLE.
Colonel j. Harry Rogers brought out
some of his priceless archives yester-
day in honor of the 214th anniversary
Of william Penn's landing at New
Castle-the first place In America where
Penn set foot on land.
In going over Mr.. Rogers records it
is found that the celebrated William
landed in New Castle on October %
1859, when he brought the Duke Of
York's deed over in the Welcome. Was
TO have met the commissioners of the
Duke Of York here, but only one
John Mall-put in an appearance, the
other two having been detained by un-
avoidable circumstances. With Com
missioner Mall. Penn looked over the
ground, while they waited the arrival
of the other commissioners.
1t is understood that the night was
spent in the house on Delaware street,
which has been several times improved
upon since then, and is now occupied
by Mrs. W. d. Greer.
The following day, October 90 was
the occasion for the formal presenta-
tion Of the warrant of transfer of the
twelve-mile circle. The ceremony con-
sisted of some speaking and the formal
handing over of a piece of turf and a
dipper of water from the Delaware
signifying the conveyance of the body
of land and water Penn then entered
Fort Casimir (near where Emmanuel
Church stands and locked himself in
for several hours, coming out
the owner of this fertile prop
erty in the kings name. Soon
after this time, the settlements of
Port Penn, Pennsgrove and Pennsviue
sprang up.

The advent of William Gillette's

next Saturday night should watt in like
a grateful shower of laughter William
Gillette's natural methods and droll
characters are well-known and held in
high esteem by all amusement gOers.
TOO Much Johnson" is described as "a
brilliantly conceived play, fairly brim-
ming over with clever lines, and a
wealth of situations and complications
that are almost bewildering in their
intricacies. Mr.. Gillette whose "Pri-
vate Secretary was, during its life, one
of the most profitable and popular Of
comedies, has given the public in TOO
Much Johnson" a companion play to a
certain extent Indeed, this play with
its attractive title, runs along a plot of
circumstances every whit as full of
startling developments and just as pro-
vocative of laughter. The main in
terest of the play centres in Mr. Bill
ling, whose abnormal skill at prevari-
cation not only tied him in a seem
ingly endless chain, but, as well, in
wolves everybody else within a reason

Now, what will free coinage do?
It will first stop falling prices; prices
would not double. because the money
supply would not be doubled for one,
Ave and twenty years, it would raise
the prices gradually. but surely; it will
benefit the workingman, because when
their farming is prosperous they can
buy implements, clothing, new build
ings and pleasure. After all our farmers
make up 40 per cent of our population,
and unless you get times that are pros
porous among the farmers and the men
who buy, then you can't expect to be
kept busy making things TO sell.
Now how about driving gold out OF
the country Can any man in this

AWAY OFF ITS TROLLEY
The Lightning of Last Thursday
Night Gets Out on a
Tear"
Two Trees at the Corner of Union aud
Broderick Streets Were
Destroyed.

While tornadoes, hurricanes and cy-
clones sweep the East, dealing death and
destruction in their path, lifting every
thing they meet off the face of creation,
and even tearing the graveyards they
make out of the ground, the Pacific Cosst
is outside of the dreaded belt of elemental
peril.
However, occasionally a breath OF the
Eastern storms gets over the mountains
and reminds the California barometers of
its presence. The thunder that howled
through the low gafe-driven clouds all
through last Thursday night is an indica-
ton of what this climate can do when it
takes a change upon itself About l
O'Clock that morning the family of w. W.
Culver, living on Union street, were sud-
denly awakened by a blaze of lightning
that filled tueir sleeping apartm ents with
white fame. This was followed by crash
of thunder that seemed to rock the house
on its foundations. The family had for
merly lived in lightning striking local
ity and knew that something had dropped
out of the clouds.
Next morning they saw where large
tree in a fir grove across the street had
been shivered by the bolt. The lightning
mad entered the trunk near the top and
had passed directly down the heart of the
tree to the ground bursting the great stem
outward in all directions. One limb ad
been blown clear off by the force of the
electric fluid, and the bark on the tree had
been peeled cleanly away from the trunk
The tree is completely destroyed, though
outstanding in tottering condition on
the stump. When the wind blows it
writhes and squirms woundedly, appa-
rently on the point of falling. A few feet
away companion tree was also struck by
probably the same bolt, splitting the stem
and shattering off large limb.
The work of electricity on this coast, ex-
cept through light or trolley wire, is
something unusual, and large number of
people have visited the scene and noted
the wonderful effect of the mighty, mystic
fluid. The Culvers are thankful that the
lightning passed over their tall house and
spent itself harmlessly among the trees.

the forfeiture of its charter will be de-
manded by the people who feel themselves
aggrieved.
Another matter of a less serious charac-
ter is also to come before the commission.
1t is the plaintive appeal of 0. w. Krause.
stockholder of Los Angeles railway,
who has been deprived of free transporta-
ton by the president of the company.
This is how he pleads for the sympathy of
the Commissioners:
Being stockholder in a Los Angeles rail
road company, whose president is acting
rather too arbitrarily (similar to Mr.. Vining),
in view of his granting passes, complimentary
and employees tickets, or whatever such may
be called, of late, to non-stockholders, while
stockholders are being deprived of such
privilege, for reasons best known to the
president and directors of the concern in
question, l respectfully beg to ask you the
question whether according to your idea
stockholder should not enjoy equal, if not
more privilege than any other individual, and
whether great Injustice is not being done by
granting such privileges to outsiders and not
to stockholders, who are surely more entitled
to same beyond any question.
I trust you will not hesitate in expressing
your views as to who should benefit by free
ride-the stockholders. whose money is in
vested, or people who have no interest in such
a concern.
The directors have no claim for pass, for
they receive $5 for attending each meeting.
But if they are given free transportation,
stockholders should benefit likewise.
The first steamship company to comply
with the request of the Railroad Commits
sion for report of its affairs and to thus
acknowledge the jurisdiction of the Com
mission over such transportation compa.
nies, is the Wilmington Transportation
Company of Los An eles. This report
will be submitted to the board to-day.
