ran into the warehouse Of the Diamond
State Iron Company and knocked the end
of the building out. The engine was
backing out Of tho yard when the wind
blew the door too, and being unnoticed in

shifter tore out the end Of the building as
easily as lift had been a barrier of match
stems. No one was injured.

Before the REPUBLICAN reaches its
thousands of readers after this issue
Christmas will have come and gone. From
present appearances it will not be green
one, but one of the regular old fashioned
kind that we have been told SO much
about in our childhood. Those whom
Providence has dealt bountifully with,
and God in his wisdom has blessed should
remember the poor In their rejoicings and
try and make some poor person or family
happy. Services will take place early on
Christmas morning in the churches and
unusually good service are promised in
the Catholic Churches in the way OF
Christmas carols. The Methodist churches
will hold Christmas services and the pas.
tors no doubt will be glad to greet full
congregations Tho merchants, consld-
ering the depressed times we have passed
through during the past three years, have
done fairly well, their receipts coming up
to what they were last year during the
holiday trade. We wish all of our read
ers Merry Christmas and very Happy
New Year, and those of our citizens who
do not have the REPUBLICAN left at their
homes will order it at once and start in on
the New Year right, with the peoples pa-
per at their family Preside.
7 1T is to be hoped that the Republicans
will have horse sense enough to pool their
issues and let past contentious be buried
out of sight, join hands in friendship and
swear to fight the common enemy, Demo-
cracy, instead of endeavoring to extermi-
nate each other. The success of the Re-
publican party is paramount to every
other private consideration With di-
vlded party the Democrats are sure to
capture every Office in the State. History
can only repeat itself. Do our people
want to see Delaware ruled forever by the
party of Anticipated ideas and keep new
industry and capital seeking Investments
away from Delaware? Wilmington is I'M
doubleday Republican city, and, in fact
our State Went Republican at the late
election and we will soon see what the
Court of Errors and Appeals think of the
matter. ~.

Bicycling World of Boston, the advant-
ages of Nova Scotia as a summer land
Tor blcyclists are as follows: The natu-
raj scenery is diversified and presents a
constant panorama, combining beauty,
grandeur and picturesque effects; the
climate is equable and agreeable dur
ing the summer months; the people are
hospltable and have a warm welcome
ever ready for the stranger; there .,re

mere Is a conspicuous and most delight
ful absence Of road hogs The trip 10
Nova Scotia is a pleasant one by steamer
from Boston. The trip is made over a
charming summer sea with just one night
out over the waters by the Plant steam
ship line from Boston to Halifax The
steamships of this line will run regularly
during the summer season and will be
than ever before for the pleasure of the
tourist. II the tourist 10 Halifax has 10
heavy baggage with him there is no
charge by the steamship company for TAX
ing the bicycle to Halifax. If he should
nave any considerable amount of bag
gage, there is trifling charge for freight
on the wheel, though this is in no case
more than nominal amount.
AT the custom house in Halifax a fee is
charged on the wheel entering the port
but this is refunded when the wheel Is
shipped out of that port again after the
tourist has spent his stay in the delightful
country around and is returning home
ward. IN this way 1t is seen that there is
no trouble in getting into the country
with the wheel as might be supposed by
those who have had experiences taking
the bike into other countries. When once
in Nova Scotia the wheelman turns about
and sees nothing but that to be admired
He finds himself amid a thousand lows.
ana IN pastures green, so to speak The
scenery around Halifax is very pictur-
esque and full of charms. Here IS the only
fortified fort along the dominion of Great
Britain on this side and a most charming

ment about the chances afforded for open
ing market for American bicycles in
Germany. American bicycles and ma
chimes of any sort for women were prac-
tcally unknown I'm the German empire
until last summer, when a large number
or American cyclists. male and female
made tours through picturesque localities
The German dealers began to give more
attention TO American wheels when a
cyclist won a race on an ordinary stock
bicycle, made by a firm having It's man
ufactOry at Hartford. Conn. and now
they are anxious to handle machines made
in this country.
Mr. Mason says it must not be sup
posed that no bicycles are manufactured
in Germany. as a score of firms are en-
gagged in the business The English. Ger
man and other foreign wheels sold IN the
empire are rather cumbersome. One
Westphalian firm has succeeded in get
ting the weight OF It's machine down TO
twenty-siX pounds by importing wooden
rims and other material from America.
Mr. Mason suggests that if American
manufacturers wish to compete in the
German market they send wheels be-
tween tWenty-one and twenty-five pounds,
with brakes and all other accessories.
Bicycle men assert that theirs is to-day
the largest specific manufacturing indus
try in America; that IS to say, that there
is no other single article whose production
brings so large g remuneration to so large
a class of workers. In Chicago alone more
than two hundred makers are reckoned,
though some of these only assemble"
wheels, buying the component parts from
various first hands. New England is dotted
with factories, notably those of Boston,
Hartford. Springfield, Chicopee Falls. Tor
r.ngtOn, and New Haven New York has
several, and there are others in Syracuse,
Rochester. Buffalo, and Erie. Going fur
Their west. we find them at Dayton Flvria
and Cleveland. Toledo is an important cen
ter; wheels are made at Indianapolis
Richmond and Goshen in Indiana: at
Marshall in Michigan; at Peoria, Rock
ford, and FreepOrt in Illinois. Hagerstown
Maryland, has the only important factory
i'm the southern states. There is none as
yet, west of the Missouri.
1t is variously estimated that from five
hundred thousand to a million bicycles
viii be made in America this year 1t is
quite probable that the higher figure Is
nearer the truth. One factory, which man
ufactures nothing but chains, is said to
nave orders for no less than million; and
this by no means represents the entire
output, as many of the larger firms make
their own chains. It may be guessed that in
1856 the pubic will spend something like
hundred millions of dollars, directly and
indirectly, upon wheeling

ming had realized the difficulties of learn

so easy that probably there was not one
woman in ten who did not believe that

exceptions that prove the rule of prelim-
mary falls; and they prove something else
