Prof. c. J. Little City of Florence"
The first general snowfall of the
season, extended over the Northern
and Eastern States on Friday, fol
lowed since, by good Winter wealth
er. The most notable meteorolog-
ical event of the day, or indeed Of
the year was an electric storm,
which extended throughout the
country and occasioned an almost
complete interruption of telegraph
ic communication. Old telegraph
ers could hardly recall an auroral
storm of equal extent in their
whole experience. It was spread
throughout the United States and
the eastern provinces Of Canada,
and seriously affected the working
of the Atlantic cables.

BURGLARY IN DAYLIGHT
Yesterday morning about 10
o'clock, the house of j. B. Scott
was entered by the front door,
while Mrs. Scott was temporarily
absent at the next door neighbor's s
and five dollar gold piece stolen
from a bureau up stairs. When
Mrs. Scott reentered the house she
heard the stair door slam, and a
man make a hasty exit from the
front door She ran to the rear
and called for help, and the ser
vices of Mr.. Handy from the school
opposite were secured, but the
burglar had made a sure escape
without being seen. The night be
fore, an unsuccessful effort was
made, to rob the henhouse of Will
liam j. Corries, corner North and
Main Streets. The thieves seem to
be getting bolder and bolder.
CHANGES IN D. & 9. RAIL
ROAD TRAINS - The Delaware
and Chesapeake freight train, after
this week instead of changing en-
gine and men at Clayton, as here
tofore, will pass on down the road
entire, as the train is made up in
Wilmington. This will deliver the
freight in better condition and in
better time, and at. the same time
be much easier on the employees
of the road. Another change has
also been made in the arrangement
of the passenger train Instead Of
coming in on the side track it will
come in on the main track, deliv-
ering the passengers right at the
depot, instead of requiring them to
cross the track as heretofore. The
train will then take a position on
the Smyrna branch siding, ready
to pass out on the departure of the
Delaware train without further de-
lay.
