TO MARK WRONG SPOT.
Says Pennock Pusey, a Local His
torian.
Question of Where Washington's
Army Crossed the Brandy
wine in Wilmington.

Two twenty four FOUNDER hoMitZeIs,
with carriages, are on the way to this
city to mark some historic spot. The
guns were shipped in response to ap-
plication made to Brigadier-General a.
A. Huntingdon. Chief of Ordinance. L..
:. A.. from Fort Jefferson, Key West,
Florida.
These guns are for the Delaware So
riety, Sons of the American Revolution,
which society purposes to turn them over
to Mayor Fisher for use by the Board

,ided to place the guns on Washington
Heights, the bluff there being supposed
to overlook the place where General
Washngton's army forded Brandywin'

the Battle of Brandywine was fought.

THE End OF THE WORLD.

The world-enders are at it again.
They find cause for alarm in the recent
extraordinary heated spell. Josiah
Carnow. an Omaha farmer Seventh Day
Adventist and Prof. Seryiss are both
ioohang for this terrestrial sphere to
WIND up its affairs. Mr.. Carnow has
given US little warning since he
places the final day for the destruction
OF the world by heat no farther away
than September 13 next.
Discussing his prediction the Phila-
delphia Record believes that the
Omaha farmer-prophet has been for
titled in his opinion by the announce
ment of Professor Serviss that the
holes in the solar vapors may let
through heat enough to destroy all
life. Farmer Carnow has studied the
books of Daniel and Isaiah las have
many other propheJs), and has kept
tab on the worlds wickeiness. His
studies have convinced him that nan
kind was as vile as now, and that
the Lord cannot tolerate its existence
beyond the thirteenth of September.
Skeptical neighbors observe that Far
mer Carnow does not neglect his corn,
and are not satisfied with his explana-
ton that the Lord expects every man
to keep at his work until the heat shall
become so intense that he must quit.
Besides the war in South Africa, the
trouble in China, the skirmishes in the
Philippines and the talk OF war be-
tween Russia and Great Britain, and
besides the frequent reports OF murders
and the general wi~ckedness, Farmer
Carnow considers the great strikes as
indicating a turbulent condition of the
human heart, and, therefore, of the
need of giving up the experiment of the
worlds salvation. In his view the
Lord has been defeated in His purpose
to make saints of men,

phets of evil adds:
