CESAR kODh EY's RIDE.


In that soft midland where the breezes bear
The north and south on The genial air,
Through the county of Kent, on affairs of
state
Rode Cesar Rodney, the delegate.
Burly and big and bold and bluff,
In his three-cornered hat and his suit of
snuff.
A foe to King George and the English state
Was Cesar Rodney, the delegate.
Into Dover village he rode apace
And his kinsfoik knew, from his anxious
face,
1t was matter grave that had brought him
there,
To the counties three upon Delaware.
money and men we must have" he said.
"0r the Congress fails and our cause is dead.
Give us both and the king shall not work
his will
We are men, since the blood of Bunker
Hill"
Comes rider swift oil painting bay:
"Hollo, Rodney, no! YOU must save the
day,
For the Congress halts at deed so great
And your vote alone may decide its fate |"
Answered Rodney then: II will ride with
speed;
1t is Iiberty's stress; it is Freedom,s need
u
ment spare,
But ride likethe wind. from the Delaware
"Ho. saddle the black I've but half a day
And the Congress sits eighty miles away
But I'll be in time, If God grants nfppgrace.
70 shake my fist in King Georges face"
He is up; he is off, and the black horse flies
On the northward road ere the "God-speed"
dies.
It is Fallop and spur, as the leagues they
clear,
And the clustering miie-stones move arear.
II is two of the clock; and the fleet hoofs
fling
The Fieldsboro dust with clang and cling.
1t is three; and he gallops with slack rein
where
The road winds down to the Delaware.
| Four; and he spurs into New Castle town,
From his painting steed he gets him down.
"A fresh one, quick; not u moments wait p
And off speeds Rodney, the delegate.
II is five; and the beams OF the western sun
Tinge the spires Of Wilmington, gold anc
| Six; and the dust of the Chester street
Flies back in cloud from his coursers feet
1t is seven: the horse-boat, broad OF beam.
| At the Schuplkill ferry crawis over stream;
| And at seyen-fifteen by the Rttenhous,
| clock.
He filings his reign to the tavern Jock. !.
| The Congress is met; the debates begun,
| And liberty Tags for the vote of one
| When into the hail, not a moment late,
| Walks Caesar Rodney, the delegate.
Not a moment late and that half days rid
Forwards the world with Il mighty stride
For the Act was passed, ere the midnigh
| stroke
Ger the Quaker City its echoes woke.
At Tyranny's feet was the gauntlet flung;
I'VE are freer all the bells through tn
colonies rling,
And the sons of the free may recall will
pride
The day of Delegate Rodney's ride.

GREAT FRI, AT READING.


Thursday Morning In the Nnide " horst
Hosiery Factory.
Reading, Pa, Dec. lone Of the
most disastrous fires in the history OF
Reading ragged this morning.
Shortly before IL o'clock, gasoline
exploded in the smuggling room of the
Nolde IL Horst hosiery factory. The
fire Mas immediately beyond control,
and the flames travelled with electric
speed through the great structure,
three stories high and 300yl00 feet in
size. There VIE nearly GOO girls in the
building, and they crowded to the ire
escapes. They were thrown into a
regular panic as tho flames crept
dangerously near, and hundreds jumped
to the ground 1t was scene never to
be forgotten. as they uttered cries of
distress and dropped.
A general alarm was sounded, and
the IL fire companies PROMPTLY respond
nd but when they arrived, the build
ing was mass of flames. The floors
had fallen in, with their heavy ma
chinery, and nothing but the walls were
standing.
The factory is total loss. 1t was
valued at $3.50, 600, The insurance is
s150,00O. The firm was founded by
George d. Horst and Jacob Nolde II
years ago. They started with % en-
ployes, gradully increased the number
and two years ago were incorpoi ated
into company. 1t was one of the
largest hoisery factories in the United
States. It's product was sent all over
this country and foreign countries.

When two horses belonging to John
Rakestraw Of Kenneth Square, Pa,
we're burned in the fire at Thomas
Reynolds stable. in Morrow street,
last week his friends extended theii
sympathy, and without his knowledge
subscription list was started by
William i. Hollis. Liberal contributions
were made by farmers in Madison street
market and other friends of Mr.. Rake
straw, and in short time a sum
rproSimating the value of the burned
horses had been subscribed. The money
was turned over to Mr.. Rakestraw, and
although almost heartbroken over his
Joss, his grief was materially lessened
when he realized how his friends had
given material evidence of their SYM
pathy.

theory that he and the woman may
have quarreled after they retired.

midnight, put on plain clothes, and
arrived at the hotel with the woman
mentioned about O'Clock. Hensle was
appointed to the police force three

Fire Thursday destroyed hay and
straw on the farm Of DR.. W. T. Skin
ner in Penoader hundred. tenanted by
Thomas LindelI, causing loss OF pos
sibly 5000 to $1,000. 1t was remarkable
in the fact that the barn, which was
within short distance Of the burning
hay and straw, was not destroyed.
About noon, during the absence q
Mr.. Lindell from his rlnce, boy,
who was passing, noticed that straw
stack was afire and carried the news to
Mrs. Llndell. MI
She hastily rang the farm bell, which
brought the farm hands and crowd
of neighbors to the scene A desperate
fight was made by a bucket brigade,
land time after time it put out slight
fires which started on the barn roof.
Meanwhile the cattle and pigs had
been released from the barn and were
unframed. The barr was sc0rched but
not seriously damaged. Two hay stacks
and the straw from thousand bushels
of wheat, were destroyed.
