A View ok*the Senatorial Content—Re
flecting Creilit on tbe Diamond State.
[ Baltimore Day. ]
The friends of Senator Saulsbury at Dover
ludlgnautly deny a rumor circulated thai a
visit made by him'td his home in that town
a week ago was with a view to consulting
with members of the Legislature,
encittg them in the matter of his re-election.
The Senator, his friends declare, rçaa home
strictly private business, which had L
connection in any way with bid candidacy
for re-election. We have no doubt they »re
right; for Senator 'Saulsburv would ueter
stoop to ask for votes to re-elect him to the
Senate, and if he were that kind of a man
he would ask in vain, for public sentiment
in Delaware Ih very strong in this matter,
its people being proud of their many years
of able representation iu the Senate and tak
ing care to pick out for themselves tlielr
strongest men, such as are above intriguing
for that or any other office.
But how singular it is that public opinion
should vary thus In neighboring States ! In
Pennsylvania, on one side of little Delaware,
a candidate for tbe United States Senate
who »lid not go to Harrisburg and work
actively for the place would be regarded as
having justly forfeited his chances through
negligence oi apathy, and here in Maryland
there certainly is no such public opinion
amongst those potential in our politics
would lead to an indignant denial of such a
rumor as that w hich Mr. Saulsbury's friends
have just contradicted. Wc think our insti
tutional history students had better trace
back to their germs the systems which have
roduced such diversity m three contiguous

County s Claim I» .IwK.
1 Dover Itelawareaaj.
No more important meu
sented to the legislature of
leg 4 ta present session than the one grant
ing to New Caatle county increased repre
sentation. The citizens of New Castle
county have, for a long time, complained
that the reprraentaiion accorded them In
the General Aseembly waa unjust and un
fair. that view being held alao by the dele
gatee from Sent and Sussex, they without
log voice, agreed in the State Con
vention held In Augnst leat, by platform
then adopted, that New Castlecounty should
have e lair and Just representation In the
State Législature. No one can doubt the
Justness of New Castle'B claim lor Increased
representation, and no fair-minded man will
deny to that county the right lor which It
has so long contended. At the last election
the aggregate vote of New Caatle county
waa 15,859, and the combined Tote of Kent
and Sussex was 15,210, showing
Castle cast 740 votes more than
blned vote of Kent and Suaaex. Such be
ing the fact It strikes us that It Is not fair
to make one man In Kent or Sussex equal to
two In New Caatle, or for us in the lower
counties to say that It takes two of New
Castle's citizens to equal one of Kent or
Sussex. For a long time the leglalator* of
the State have been called upon to right
what la clearly a wrong, but thus far the
call haa been unavailing. The present
legislature however, was elected knowing
that the platform which contained the
principles of the Democratic party of Dela
ware declared that New Castle county ought
and would receive increased representation
In the General Atsembly of the State. It
was therefore fully understood by the nomi
nees when they accented places upon the
tickets of the several countiea, that New
Castle was expected to receive justice at tlielr
bauds, and that the State Convention hail
pledged the party to grant increased
representation to the county of New Castle.
It Is fully understood by the members of the
General Assembly that the granting of In
creased representation to New Cwtle county
is expected of them, and we are led to be
lieve (having heard the views of a number
members of the legislature upon that sub
ject) that the understanding will be fully
carried out and that exact Juatlcc will be
done (aalt ought to be) In this important
matter during the present session of the leg
islature, and that the right which New
Castle County has for so long a time asked
to be accorded her, will, by the legislature
of '8S, be recognized and granted.

A communication recently received from
Messrs. J. & W. Scligtnan Sc Co , the. lead

the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association
is a "good and res|»onsible concern,
is well managed, doing a large busines and
making money. Its number ol members is
increasing every day from among the most
solid and respectable persons of New York
and other States. It owes nothing to any
oue, and pays all Its debt« promptly and
asks no tavors.*'
The rates charged by this company are
only about one-filth those charged by olu
line companies, and 25 per cent, of tbet-e
rates are actually reserved for the security
of the policy holders, by being placed In
the hands of trustees, beyond all control oi
the insurance mauagers.
The expenses of management of the
Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association are
extremely low, and it seems to present in

alarms were struck almost simultaneously
from boxes 23 and 24 by two workmen re
turning from the Harlan & Hollingsworth
establishment.
By the time the department *r Ived the
building was burning briskly, and although
there tfas much difficult in raising ladders,
owing to the number of telegraph wires,
good and efficient service was performed by
the firemen, although both themselves and
the hose were covered with ice.
The engines were in service over two
hours at which time all danger was over
and the building saved from total destruc
tion, although badly damaged from top to
bottom.
The second and third stories were com
pletely gutted, the front wall of the latter
falling out with a crash Just before 11
o'clock, and uarrowly missing some firemen
standing below. The roof was of tin, and
now lies in the rulus of the upper stories.
On the first floor, which was filled with
flour In bags and barrels and grain and flour
in bins, much damage was done by fire,
although the greatest loss there will lie from
water and smoke. The wooden ceiling of
the salesroom wan burned but little. In the
celler the fire did but little work, the prin
cipal Iors there also being by water.
There were about 175 barrels of flour io
the place, besides corn, wheat, oats, buck
wheat, ground feed, etc., and Mr. Valentlue
places his loss on stock and machinery at •
about $11,000. The insurance both on the
building and its contents was as follows:
Farmers Mutual Insurance Company, this
city, $2,500; New York Home, $2,500, and
the Philadelphia Insurance Company, $2,000,
The loss, therefore, will be considerable,
although it is barely possible that some of
the stock may be disposed of as damaged
material, thus affecting a little salvage.
How the fire originated is not yet known,
as the only fire kept about, the establishment
was under the engine in the basement and
in a little stove near the front door on the
first floor. The flames, as was stated before,
were said to have beeu first nolieed in the
second story, pointing, many think, clearly
to incendiarism, It is also asserted that fire
was seen at the same time near the engine.
The building next, west of the damaged
mill was occupied on the first floor by E.
Mitchell. Jr., as a roofer. The building
was flooded and Mitchell's loss will be about
$200, fully insured in the Union Insurance
Company of Philadelphia.
The second floor was used as a brush fac
tory by William F. Thompson, who esti
mates his loss by water at $200.
To the east of the mill was tbe agricultu
ral implement warehouse of John A. Wilson,
who sustained uo loss. His horses, wagons
and carnage were, honvcver, removed to
places of safety soon alter tho alarm was
given.
Thomas A.Kenney of the Weccacoe Engine
Company was struck by a branch pipe and
painfully injured Two lines of hose were
badlv crushed by the falling walls.
Large numbers of people this morning
visited the ruins which are covered with
large icicles, while the telegraph wires shone
and sparkled in the little sunlight there was.
Inside the burned mill a disheartening mass
of flour and corn greeted the eye.
The mill has been on fire three limes
within the lant three years, the last time
about two years ago, when it was occupied
by another owner, and then by an in
cendiary.
ALMOST A PANIC.
A Theatre Au-ilence Still Miudful of the
Milwaukee Fire Jump St the Smell of
Smoke.
About.9 o'clock last evening, while the
second act of "A Parisian Rpraance*' -was
being played at the Union. Square Theatre,
the greatly crowded house was stirred with
a sensation which threatened to become a
panic. The stage
the banker's office, and only Mr, Richard
Mansfield was upon the stage. The house
was very quiet. Two young ladies said to
be livitig at the New York Hotel became
alarmed at a smell of smoke and hastily left,
their seats, which were in the front rows of
the orchestra. As they walked rapidly down
the al6le toward the main exit on Union
square, others noticed the smell of smoke.
About 50 pereous arose and made lor th«
aisles to go out. Probably 30 altogether did
go out. For a moment there was a good
deal of a crash in the main aisle.
The alarm was communicated to the gal
lery, where nothing of the cause ol it could
be seen, and the excitement there was
uoisier. Policeman Charles Hanley and an
usher prevented any oue from leaving the
gallery, and the stir presently subsided.
From the stage Mr. Mansfield called out,
"There is no fire and no danger." Manager
Palmer stepped from his box to the stage,
and, addressing those persons who w
set for the interior of
pass
ing down the aisles, explained that tbe smoke
had entered the theatre by an open window,
coming from a neighboring chimney, in
which a fire had just been kindled. He
added that those who left their seats would
not be ablo to reclaim them. The retreat
ing squadron mostly turned back at this,
and iu a few mluutes all were in their seats
again, except one lady, who fainted in the
excitement, aud who was detaiued in the
lobby till she had entirely recovered.
Even the came back and took her seat.
There are several reports as to the origiu
of theemoke. Oue is that a playbill dropped
from the gallery and fell into a chandelier.
Another is that the woolen instrument bag
laid
belonging to oue of the orchestra was
too uear a gas jet an«l betrau to scorch. A
third is that a sudden flare up of the foot
lights produced the smoke.
Tlie State Treasurerstiip.
[Middletown Transcript, j
The office of State Treasurer wiilnodonbt
be filled during next week. Both of the
candidates Irom this county
and deserving men, but only
can he elected. If New Castle county Is
divided Sussex may easily carry off tbe
prize, although she does not deserve it by a
very large majority. H seems to us that
the members irom this county should unite
upon a candidate and thus insist with a
united iront upon New Castle's claims.
Either Mr. Now land
no doubt willingly stand aside for the other
sooner than be the means of throwing the
selection to Sussex. New Cattle county
is in earnest about this matter, and her
legislators should go into the general caucus
solid for the strongest man.
