Destructive Fire Near FalIstOn-Barn
and Stock Consumed.

At an early hour on Sunday morning the
large frame, bank barn upon the premises Of
Mr.. William s. b. Preston, near Fallston, was
entirely destroyed by fire. 1t was one of the
finest barns in the county, 81 feet by SO feet
in size and stood near the line of the Balti-
more and Lehigh Railway. 1t was replete
with all modern improvements, and was SO
arranged as to have water running through all
of its stables.
The fire was discovered shortly after four
O'Clock, A. NJ, by member of Mr.. Preston's
family, and at that time the main structure
was totally destroyed and the flames had
reached the corn house, which stood about
ten feet from the barn. All efforts to save
buildings or any of the contents were without
avail, and only by extra efforts the dwelling
was saved.
In the barn were fourteen COWS, one bull
and six yearIing heifers, all nearly pure Jer-
seys, two horses and fine pair of mules, all
of which were consumed. Besides the
animals, the loss upon which was heavy, the
barn contained six tons of hay, large lot Of
grain, ground feed, fodder and a number OF
farming implements. The courthouse con
tanned over a hundred barrels of corn.
Mr.. Preston is utterly at loss as to the
origin of the fire, but suspects it to be the
work of tramps, a number of whom are in the
vicinity. There had been no fire or even the
flame of a lantern near the barn since an early
hour on Saturday morning. The total loss
will exceed $1,000, to meet which there is a
policy of 81 300 III the Hartford Mutual Com
pany.

MAGNIFICENT PUBLICATION
UPON THE SOUTH.

OION AAAA o0'A L.
The wonderful progress which the
South has been making in all lines OF
industrial, commercial and intellectual
development has been most fittingly set
forth in magnificent volume, which,
after months of careful preparation
has Just been issued by the Southern
Railway.
This book, the title Of which, "The
Empire Of the South" conveys an idea
Of its character, is beyond question one
of the most comprehensive and at the
same time artistic publications ever is-
sued from the press. 1t contains nearly
two hundred octave pages, over four
hundred exduisitely printed iilustra-
tions. and makes a presentation oil
Southern interests in all lines of human
activity, which for thoroughness OF
treatment has never been approached.
The opening chapter Of the book, un-
der the caption of "The South, Yester-
day. To-day and Tomorrow, discusses
in a broad and forcible manner the
present and future of the Southern
States. treating at considerable length
the various interests, such as agrieul-
IulE. NNllDus l0udNNos AAoAls NeetAf ! N-e@ -
climate. etc Following this are chap
tors devoted ITO each of the states south
Of the Ohio and POtomac,and east of the
! Mississippi rivers.
These give a brief, interesting sketch
of the early history of each state, anc
then touch upon all it's important ac'
tivities, showing the progress beinf
made not only by the state itself, bu
by the leading cities.
The author of the work, Mr.. Franz
Presbrey, is a close student OF Southern
progress, and in the collection ant
preparation Of the immense amount o
important information given in tn
book. has had the cooperation OF tn
officials of the Southern Railway. Tn
distribution of this magnificent volum
will do an incalculable amount of prac
tical good in calling the attention o
the world to the South, and the South
ern Railway has demonstrated its faitl
in the future of that section by the ex
: penditure Of the many thousand dollar
this great work must have cost. Thos
I who are fortunate enough to receive
copy Of this edition de luxe, which
sent with the compliments Of the com
pany. will prize it as a mcst valuabl
addition to their library.

THE PENINSULA PRESS

The talk of trying Mrs. Botkin In
Wilmington is ridiculous. IL Mrs. Bot
kin comes to Delaware, as seems GER
tain, the trial will take place in Dover.
The crime with which she is charged
was committed in Kent county, and
there is no reason for a change OF
venue. Twelve good men can be found
in this county who will give Mrs Bot
kin fair and impartial trial and rem
der a verdict according to the evidence.
Dover Delawarean.
Trade is a great Peacemaker, and to
free trade is TO unshackle the herald
Of goodwill among men.-Justice.
The warmest advocate of the prohi-
bition-speakeasy law, cannot explain
why 1t is that crime is so prevalent un-
der the operation of that law. They
cannot deny that such is a fact for the
criminal record stares them in the
face, and the court itself comments
upon the unusual lawlessness. Prior to
its introduction we were told that IL
would not only lessen crime, but would
render our jails practically useless. Is
Il so? Let those who think so look at
the official record for the last few years
and they will be astonished.- Cecil
Democrat.
The two county committee will meet
on Tuesday, to fill the places remain
ing vacant. If the nominees are will
ing to sacrifice personal ambition for
the good Of the party, there will be no
difficulty in arranging these matters,
otherwise prolonged parleyng will re-
suit and possibly the whole object Of
the conference be efeated.-Sussex Re-
publican.
The editor says, "the Democratic
party has for forty years given the
state good government, as good, if not
better, than any state in this union"
For the sake Of the high regard we en-
tertafn for the editor, we are led to be-
lieve that while the good man slept,
the enemy sowed tares among the
wheat.-Dover State Sentinel.
The Street Committee of Council is
doing good work. Many bad pieces OF
road and street have been repaired dur
ing the pact few weeks. The only thing
that prevents New Castle from having
good paved streets and good roads Ia
want Of available money. This could
be secured II proper legislation would
be asked for, and proved to the tax
payers that they would be benefited by
It. Paved streets and good driveways
speak volumes for the Inhabitants
New Castle News.
The candidates for county offices
nominated by the Democrats are per-
sons whom the people of Sussex can
trust to perform well the public SER
vice that may devolve upon them. They
are persons of good social standing in
this community and they are pledged
to make needed reforms in the govern.
ment Of the county should they be
elected. Sussex Countian.
But the second question: Certainly
no man with a grain Of independence
would submit to be bound by such g
pledge, What diabolical scheme coult
not be legalized under that pledge, thu
majority being in the hands OF un
principled manipulators Of the ma
chine! We trust no nominee will Civ
such a pledge. Better defeat for an
other forty years.-Mlddletow Trans
cript.

A DROWNED MAN FOUND.

John walker, a Pennsgrove fisher
man. while on his way down the river
to set his nets yesterday, found the
body Of a drowned man floating in the
Delaware of Carney's Point. 1t was
taken to Pennsgrove, but no one could
identify it. The unfortunate man was
short and thick-set, OF middle-age and
well-dressed. He had about Slb in
paper money on him, and the condition
of it and his clothing showed that he
had only been in the water a shor'
time. His face was partially eaten by
crabs. A doctor was summoned, lie
was declared extinct, and, without th'
formality Of an inquest, the body was
taken to Riverview Cemetery, three
quarters of mile above Pennsgroye
and inferred.
Evening journal., 1898-10-11

Holding the high official position
that he does, 1t is not surprising that
United States Senator Kenney desires
a speedy and conclusive retrial OF his
case. We do not believe that he Will
suffer by reason of the action OF the
government in continuing the trial un-
iii after the election for fear of politi-
cal bias in the jury-box. To the con-
trary, we are Of the opinion that the
action will gain him friends. He has
shown a brave determination to meet
the ordeal, be the consequences what
they may, and the government, and
not he, is responsible for this continu-
ance. His attorneys stated that they
were ready to go to trial Immediately
and the declaration was made with al
apparent sincerity; but the prosecution
which is seeking a conviction, was for.
tunate enough to have the sympathy
OF the court in it's application for
continuance until after the election
and there is nothing left for the sena
tor and his attorneys but to acquiesce
Evening journal., 1898-10-11

In spite Of an legislation, trust sue
ceeds trust in rapid succession, and all
OF them prey ON the people. The latest
movement of This kind is set forth IN
a dispatch from Oshkosh, Wis, which
says: "The consolidation OF all the fur-
niture factories in the Northwest Is
contemplated and q movement now on
foot, with that end in view. seems
likely to be successful. The present
scheme is to place the companies under
one general head by which the output
can be controlled, territory fairly dis
tributed and expense OF management
decreased" The real scheme is to maxi
householders pay a good deal more for

Is ADDICIIs WEAKENING?

Are the Addlcksites about TO repudi-
ate their own circular letter in the face
OF the bold front which the Regular RE
publican legislative nominees are put
ting on at this critical juncture? The
straws Of information blow that way
There is but one legislative nominee
in New Castle county who will vote
for j. Edward Addicks in caucus or out
Of caucus, and the gas man knows It.
There is but one who Will vote for
anything which he advocates, and ne
also knows that. He has drawn his
pledge and he has drawn his knife,
and before the week ends he may, for
fear OF retaliation I'M Kent and Sussex,
withdraw them both. 1t is quite a vic
tory for the Regular Republicans.

Congressman Handy has the good
fortune Of the support Of united De-
mocracy. He was nominated for a sec

sition and the unanimity which char
acterlzed his nomination will mark his
support. There is no disposition on the
part of any Democrat to refuse to sup
port him. He has made a splendid rec

all he could for his constituents, and
