ELECTRICITY SHOCKED MULE.
Live Trolley Wire Had People
Moving on Bay street.


One Of the over head wires Of the sa-
vsnnah, Thunderbolt and Isle OF Hope
Railway Company snapped at Drsyton
and Bay streets. during the rain storm
late yesterday afternoon. The wire fell
in the middle Of Bay street and sputtered
and spit electric sparks at great rate.
A mule ran into the live wire and was
badly shocked, although not fatally
burned. The negro driver had q narrow
escape from what would probably have
been a worse fate, and saved himself by
jumping from the cart.
The electrical display was rather pref
ty, but several pedestrians had narrow
escapes from being shocked. The power
house was notified Of the break and the
repair wagon was hurried to the scene.
The break was fixed in about half an
hour. during which time the cars on the
inner lines we're at a stsndstil. The
broken wire did not stop the suburban
cars for the reason that they ore on q
separate circuit.

QUEER TALE FROM THE SEA

One of the strangest OF strange
stories from the sea is reported from
New Bedford. Mass. and is worthy Of
more than passing notice. Five of the
crew of the schooner Charles H. Hodg-
don. who were supposed to have been
drowned of the Cape Verde Islands
last December, are alive. The boats
crew were tcwed ten miles by an angry
whale. They were eleven days adrift
On the seventh day they sighted a
school OF blackflsh and succeeded in
killing one. They drank the b.oOd and
ate the meat raw. A Portuguese
steamer stopped within a few yards OF
them the same day, but steamed away
On January s they were picked up by
the French bark Adolph. bound to
Genoa. Second Mate Antonio Silva
died Of exposure three days after his
rescue. Matthew Samuel. boatsteerer,
was provided with passage home on
the Werra by the American consul. He
landed IN Brooklyn on Saturday. The
other four men were sent by the Portu-
guese consul to Marsellles, where they
shipped for the United States.
The original mishap gives some idea
OF the grave dangers which confront
the American whaler, and his power
Of endurance when called upon by
stress OF circumstances to put 1t to the
supreme test The action OF the cap
tain OF the Portuguese steamship in
steamlng away and leaving them in
such q desperate situation is marked
by a heartlessness happily seldom ex
ampled In the annals Of the sea. Thei
final rescue reads like miracle, an'
the fact that one Of their number
should die after passing through 1t al
and when succor had been received i
a sad closing to thrilling chapter o
maritime misfortune Of unusual char
acter.

A Visit to the White House
.m the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The Public Ledger, of Philadelphia,
reports a visit to the president on
Thursday last by a delegation of Ad-
dicks men from Delaware. The leader
of the party was Governor HUM him
self. The alleged purpose of the in
tervieW with President Mckinley was
to discuss the question of Federal ap-
lpOintments in Delaware, in the inter-
est OF harmony and the election of
two Republican senators.
The attitude of the president is thus
described by the Washington corre-
lspondcnt of the Ledger:
During the conference the question
Of electing two senators was referred
to by the president, and he urged that
steps should be taken to harmonize
lexisting differences in order that the
choice of two Republicans should be
obtained
The president expressed a strong de-
sire to do whatever was in his power
to bring about that result and declared
that he was not disposed to make APP
lpointments that were calculated tC
prevent the choice Of two Republican
senators"
And the conclusion which the same
correspondent reached is thus sci
forth:
There is reason for the belief that
lif it can be established to the satisfac.
tlon of the president that the election
,Of two Republicans can be secured by
the use OF the Federal offices he viii
mot hesitate to so use them regardless
, iof persons"
The election of two Republican
eenators," as understood by the Ad
dicks faction, and as they are trying t,
have the country believe that thi
J president understands tho phrase
means the election Of ]. Edward Ad
dicks and another man. Harmony
means the surrender, or the overpow
ering by major force, of the Regula
e Republicans who have so long and s.
S successfully resisted Addicks' ambi
! tion to get himself into the Senate a
the expense OF the good fame of Della
ware Republicanism.
II the president has been led to be
lieve that the cause of Republicanisr
Throughout the country, or the reputa
tion of his own administration, will b
promoted by using Federal patronag
lin Delaware to boost Addicks into tn
q UNITED States Senate. or that such
8 result will be satisfactory to the ma
d jority of his Republican friends an

LEVY COURT ON TRIAL

For a long time serious charges al

General Ward has decided to institute
an official Investigation to establish

this end in view he has summoned the
principal officers Of the county to APP

It has been reported to the Board Of

There are few people nowadays who

BREAK UP THE GAMBLING

We understand that several gam
bling establishments have been set up in
this city and are running now in full
blast II our information is correct,
two of them are particularly bold in
their operations and especially worthy
OF the immediate attention of our Po-
lice Department to the end that they
may be suppressed.
Both places are run as social clubs,
and by that means the proprietors at
tempt to shield themselves from the
law. One is in Market street and the
other in Eleventh street. II reports be
ltrne, one Of these places is run by a
man who formerly was identified with
the operation of the outlawed race
tracks in Iron Hill and its neighbor-
lhcod A relative of a former prominent
lpublic official in Philadelphia is said
to be back of the other.
Be this as it may, the police should
act and close up any and all such
places in operation, and arrest the
men who are running them. The SEN
timent int his community is strong
lagainst gambling, and Il cannot be
braved by anyone. Neither can the
gambling be permitted to go on mere
ly because it has over it the fiimsy
covering Of the social club" feature
which has been used Intellectually in
other communities.
The police have had their eyes on
some of these places for several weeks
land it is about time to get their hands
On them.
We have no desire to do any nepu-
table club an injury, but there arr
clubs and clubs, and when an organiza
ton is effected solely to cover up I
crime against public morality, it is th'
duty Of the police to break through th'

Commenting on the outrageous Cor
man election law enacted by the Mary
land Legislature at its recent extra
session, the Greensboro Free Press
says: 1T Is our belief that the intelli-
gent, taxpaying people of the State
who are not blinded by partisan preju-
dice, when they consider the measures
passed will decide that they are abso-
lutely necessary in order TO prevent
the State from falling into the hands
OF an element which has no substantial
interest in it." That sort Of argument
won't do. The truth Of the matter 1.
that the Republican leaders OF Mary
land had worked so energotically anC
intelligently that there was every
likelihood that the State would pass
permanently into the control Of the Re
publican party. To obviate this parti
san danger the Democrats seized theii
opportunity, and passed laws disfran
ehislng about 25.OOO colored voters
That Is the story, and we are surprlse'
that such conservative paper as thr
Free Press should attempt to'twist tn
facts concerning it.
