WITH all the safety appliances
used by the Railroad companies, the
number of accidents that occur
every day is appalling. There were
three accidents on the Pennsylvania
Railroad within - hours one day
last week, all three Of which took
place in and around Broad Street
Station. One OF them was caused
by the air breaks refusing to work
properly. The second was caused
by the cross tie which WAS hit and
knocked against the ron railing
along the elevated track that ruus
into the depot. Fortunately no one
was killed or injured i'll either of
the three accidents. The Peunsyl-
vania Railroad is the best managed
railroad in the world.
DURING the month Of August
nearly all the churches have been
closed, giving their pastors and con-
Rregations a vacation for tie month.

camp is now the attraction for those
interested in spiritual welfare and
the array OF preachers and speakers
was never 50 good OF SO large, We
hope Sunday will not be Il sample
of the weather we may expect.
The pastors expect a big harvest
of souls, an il we hope they won't
be disappointed. The camp meet
ings are not as popular with this
generation, as with the old. Still,
it has its attractions.
JERRY NOpS, the once famous

is no reason to doubt it, Jerry should

support in advocating the removal
of the College. Come to think Of
it, the removal of the College might
be bad thing, as Wilmington is
rather slow town, hardly up to
the hustllng, energetic, growing
town Of Newark. But something is
radically wrong with the manage
ment of the College, as three Prof
essors have left within the last two
months. We thinka new and more
progressive Board Of Trustees would
help the growth of the College.

MATTER OF AN ARBITRATOR.
The Case May Be Rsferred to the Court
at The Hague.


Especial Ia The Post(
Washington, December 1s-A great deal
Of significance Is attached here to the fact
that tho claims Of Germany against Venc-
zuela are growing constantly. They arc
now much in excess Of the figure which was
announced when the German ships 6rst
appeared on the Venezuelan coast, and
there seems no end to them.
1t is felt that If any other government
besides Germany were involved the matter
Of settlement would be an easy one. As
it is the question is a very grave one.
1t is certain that Germany will not accept
Minister Bowen as an arbitrator. King
Oscar would be far more acceptable to Em
peror William, but Il is quite probabc that
Venezuela would not agree to this. As
It IS understood here, Venezuela Will sub
init to none except an American; Germany
will submit to almost any one except an
American.
1t is suggested that tho matter should
be left to The Husuc court Of arbitration.
There can certainly little fault be found
with that court European nations are
largely represented thereon. and to make
serious objection would be in the nature
Of stultifying themselves
