From Sundays Second Edition.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.-The Press will
print tomorrow the following: 1T is stated
in this city, from what is considered an
authoritative source, that General Garcia,
the most distinguished Cuban general now
outside of Cuba, sailed from this port on
Thursday of this week on board the fruit
steamer Bernard, bound for Cuba, and that
he will land there with the most formidable
expedition that has ever left this country.
1t is said he will take command of the expe-
dition on the high seas. where he will meet
the fruit steamer Jasof, with over three
hundred men and a large quantity of arms
md ammunition on board General Garcia
came to this city from England on Jan. is
accompanied by his two sons, Carlos and
Justa- His every movement was watched
by agents of the Spanish government He
knew this, and, as a last resort, he separat-
ed from his son Justa and gave the forma-
ton of the expedition into his hands. The
Spanish governments agents have paid no
attention to young Garcia, and he succeeded
so well that, it is said. six days ago the
steamer Jasof. belonging to fruit firm,
sailed out of New York harbor having on
board a large number of Cubans, over fifty
thousand rounds of ammunition, two thou
sand rifles and some field artillery. General
Garcia and his son Carlos were taken on
board the Jasof at sea. The Jasof is ex-
pected to reach point off the Florida coast
to-day, where the transfer of the entire ex-
petition to another steamer Will be made.
The destination of the expedition is near the
boundary line of the province of Pinar del
Rio. General Gomez has been kept thor
oughly informed of the movements OF the
expedition"

Franklin. Local status.

In vindicating Benjamin Franklin's right
to be classified in history as "a gentleman
the Society OF Colonial Danes has per-
formed magnanimous and patriotic serv-
ice There were certain LESSONS in the fiber
of Franklin's moral character which cor
rect social ethics cannot condone, and there
were occasional lapses In his conduct which
carried him away, temporarily at least,
from the higher ideals of personal recti-
tude, but he rose in every instance TO the
full requirements of the test which holds
that a gentleman is a man who wears nom
detachable cuffs. 1t Is impossible to con-
template any portrait of Franklin without
acknowledging that his orthodoxy on that
supreme question was unimpeachable.

Sanciificati0nisIs Killed.

Over one hundred sanctificationists
from the Eastern Shore, Virginia,
went to Montrose, Chowan county,
n. c., several weeks ago, and with
their new doctrines have almost
broken up some of the churches in
that county. The believers in the
new faith are principally young men.
These believers in sanctification have
four arks which are on barges in the
Chowan river, and they go around
through the country preaching their
doctrines. The people of Chowan
county have become aroused on &C
count CT the conduct of this sanctitied
band. Yesterday q large body Of citi-
zens met at Montrose, on Chowan
river, and had it not been for the re-
cent converts to the new theory Of
this sect, the sanctificationists would
have been killed or badly beaten and
their arks destroyed. The new con-
verts of the comfy insisted on giving
them show. The sanctiticationists
were given short time to get on
their arks and leave that section.
After they had boarded the arks.
and were moving up the Chowan, the
crowd began to fire and killed several
of them. They were told to leave
there by this morning at 10 O'Clock,
or more would be killed, and their
arks and barges destroyed.-Rich-

sojourncra by Old Ocean.

A gay and happy party sailed from
Horntown public landing and Wish
arts Point, August 18th, to sojourn
by the dear old ocean. Four happy
days we spent in our little cottage,
nick named the Hotel de Porpoise.n
Two of the party, United States Dep
uty Marshal's daughter, Miss thinner
man, of Baltimore, and Mr.. Parker
H. Lee, of Bel Air, Md, had never
seen the ocean before, and they
agreed with the Eastern Shoremen
that it was one of the grandest sights
that the human eye could feast upon.
Battling, eating, with several OK cart
rides to the lighthouse, and other
points of interest on the island, made
the days slip by entirely too fast,
while delightful strolls under the sill
very light of the moon with an occa-
sional two step on the beach or an
informal dance in the saloon at our
cottage, caused night to turn into
day almost without our knowledge.
We were charmed with our neighbors,
Capt. Tracy and the Hon. Grayson
Sharrett's family, particularly with
Mr.. Sharrett's attractive niece. One
of the most important persons in our
party was "Aunt Anne" and all with
one accord declare her cooking unex-
ceptionally good. Mr.. and Mrs. W S
Holland, Mrs H. Glib, Mrs. L. Y.
Taylor and Mr.. w. D. Chopper, of
Horntown, chaperoned the following
