Stable Struck by Lightning Bolt.

The stable of w. B. Steward of
Dover, situated on North street, and
containing a number of horses valued
at 5000 each and over, was in the path
of fiery bolt of lightning which shot
down from an apparently undisturbed,
or partly disturbed sky at an early
hour Thursday morning. When Mr..
Steward and DR. j. R. Kuhns started
in hot haste to make an investigation
they found nothing harmed in the
stable, but the bolt from the heavens
had made hole in the ground, per-
fectly round and large enough for
them to drop therein a halfpeck
measure. The lining of the mysterl-
Gus hole was scared by the electricity

PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD TO
MAKE ITS OWN CROSS TIES
WILL USE ALL THEIR AVAILABLE FARM
LANDS TO GROW LOCUST TREES.
Great Depletion of Timber Lands Throughout
the Country Has Caused the Company to
Make Necessary Provision.

In order to provide for the future in
the matter of railroad ties the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company is about
to engage extensively IN growing To-
Gust trees, and all its available farm
land along the lines of the system
adapted, for such purposes is to be
planted with the trees. The company
has for number of years been exper-
imenting with locust tree planting at
different points. 1t has gone about it
in a careful and scientific manner and
the results so far obtained warrant un-
dertaking of the project in a broader
and more extensive scale.
Professor j. T. RothrOck, State
Commissioner of Foresty, of Pennsyl-
vania, has been given complete super
vision of the work. He has made a
careful study of the matter, and no
place is selected by him for planting
the trees until after thorough inyesti-
garlOn as to its adaptability, both as
to climatic conditions and freedom
from insects which, in certain sections
are said to be serious menace to these
trees. The company has numerous
farms throughout the State, secured
in connection with right of way, either
for new trees or changes III the align
ment of existing lines. Many of these
farms are tenanted, and the tenants
have been, or will be, notified to va
cate from time to time.
The question of the future railroad
tie supply is one that is being given
serious attention by not only the
Pennsylvania Railroad officials, but
by those of other roads, as the great
number annually repaired is rapidly
depicting the timber of the country
for such purposes. Various expert
ments with metal and thest ties have
been conducted by the Pennsylvania
and other companies in the fact but
nothing has so far been found to give
the same satisfaction as the wooden
| tie.
1t is estimated that it will require
only 20 years for these trees to sufi-
ciently mature to permit of their use
for railroad ties.

Product OF IdahO's Silver Mines Will be Shown

A monster nugget of silver, weigh
ing more than a ton, the largest single
piece of silver ore ever taken from the
ground, will be one of the features
that the State of Idaho will display in
the Mines and Metallurgy Palace at
the Worlds Fair in St Louis.
This great State of the northwest,
rich in many minerals, producing more
than go per cent of the nations lead
output, and possessing a soil that will
grow almost anything that can be rails
ed in the north temperate latitude,
will concentrate her efforts in making
a great exhibit of Idaho's richness in
minerals, agriculture and horticulture.
Clarence B. HURT, of Boise, the
executive officer of the Idaho State
commission, visited the Exposition
grounds in July, and conferred with
the chiefs of the various departments.
He concluded to ask for site on the
wooded plateau across Skinker Road
from the Palace of Agriculture, and
looking the Machinery Palace
The site desired adjoins that selected
by the California commissioners. Mr..
HURT says that Ihado will erect a
splendid State pavilion.
One unique aud interesting display
will be shown in the Mining Gulch. "
This will reveal the Importance of the
wonderful opal mines of Idaho. These

Harry Black, Fined For Assault, Makes Ac-

After Isaiah Vincent had hauled
Harry Black before Magistrate Wood
Thursday and heard Vincent's case
charging Black with having knocked
him down and assaulted him with
hard fists Wednesday night, a fine of
$4 78 was imposed upon the accused.
Blacks mother, Beta Black, chafed
at the fine and at having to pay all that
money over to the magistrates con-
stable, and so the mother and son con-
ferred.
Then they preferred charge of sell
ing liquor without a license against
Vincent and proceeded to prove to the
court that he was a walking "speak-
easy" and that there was always plenty
doing in his line. Vincent was held
under 500 bail for violation of the
liquor laws, and was released upon
Thomas Wooddall signing his bond to

POLITICAL GOSSIP IN KENT COUNTY.
Senator Frank Alice Keeping Close Touch
With His Organization.

Union Republican leaders from all
parts of Sussex and Kent counties have
been at Dover during the past two
days, stopping off between trans to
confer with Senator Alice, who is still
cheirwon Of the Addicks Republican
autral Committee, and is keep
ing IN close touch with his organiza-
ton. The concensus of opinion among
the district workers and leaders who
were there and decision which it is
said they have reached, is that Coy
ernor HUM will be renominated with
out opposition, Thomas Curry having
decided not to run for the office and
to support the governor should he
stand for denomination.
The congressman will be taken from
Sussex county, and it is declared by
some of the Union workers that his
name will not be disclosed until ex-
pressions have been obtained from the
rank and file of their party, but that
he will surprise the public, and he
will be a sure winner. 1t is also claim
ed that the opposition to DIR. l.. s.
Conwell of Camden as Senator Allee's
successor IN the State Senate is also
dwindling and that Conwell will be
chosen in the convention by accla.

Corn in Bad Condition.

Gas to the corn, the striking feature
was the uniformly unprOmising condi-
tions throughout the whole region OBJ
served. From the extreme eastern to
the extreme western limit and from
the northern to the southern limit
there exists everywhere the same irreg-
ularlty in size, uncertainty in condl-
tion and lateness of the crop, so that
scarcely any State or section can be
regarded in any marked degree as bet
ter conditioned than the rest. Not
only in the river valleys, but also in
that of any tributary stream, however
small, as we'll as the sloping lands ad-
iacent to the streams the condition is
exceptionally bad, so much so that in
the general estimate of the ultimate
outcome this area may as we'll be left
wholly out of the reckoning. This
will run into millions of acres.
