People much prefer travelii on solid land, even if they are compelled to go farther, to risking crossing a wide. river at any time at the mercy of the wind and waves. The present route from Heading to Philadelphia is a safe and cheap one, and the necessity for the new route does not spring from that city. Coatesville is in direct communication with New York and Philadelphia by one of the cheapest, safest and best equipped roads in the country. The real object in building a ferry and in connecting the Wilmington and Northern railroad with the New Jersey road is to afford the Messrs.

DuPont an oportun-ity to ship their powder free. Between here and Coatesville, also, there are several freight items that can be thus 6aved by the new route. The time on the new route must necessarily be slow.

Such a scheme, he said, was only practicable in this instance, because the Messrs.

"Comparatively none whatever," was the replyj STATE MEDICAL SOCIET. An Interesting Session and Some Val uable Papers. The ninety-ninth annual session of the State Medical Society was held yesterd ly at Dover, beginning at noon.

Nearly forty physicians were present from every portion of the State, including a number from this city. Dr. Hall, of Philadelphia, read a paper on the l)Lcases ol the Eve," treating the subject very fully io all its bearings, and throwing out some valuable suggestions concerning this use ful member and the proper treatment of its ailments. Dr. Wilson, of Dover, also read an in teresting paper on an "Injury to a Scalp," being a careful examination into a partic ular case that had come under his observation, which had brought to light some rather peculiar facts relative to the human scalp, and had in it some valuable in experimental medicine for the scientist and physician.

Mrs. George Hand, of Brandywine Hundred, Adjudged Insane. i In the grand jury room of the Court House yesterday a jury, appointed by Sheriff Clark.of which George Kelley was foreman, heard the testimony of seven witnesses in reference to the mental condition of liebecca, widow of the late Geo. Hand, of Brand 7 ine hundred. Harry Sharpley, appeared as counsel for the heir-at-law, It appears from the evidence adduced that Mrs.

Hand, who is years old, while peaceably inclined to all who come in contact with her, endangers only her own porson, from which she tears all her clothes whenever an opportunity offers. During the daytime it is necessary to fasten her in a chair, while at night she is strapped to the bed. This pitiable state of mind seems to have been produced by the removal of Mrs. Hand from her old home and the weight of ac-cummulating years. There was no rebutting testimony, so, after a few minutes deliberation, the jury brought in a verdict that the old lady is insane, vs ith no lucid intervals.

The old lady is the owner of a mortgage amounting to $2,300 on a farm which formerly belonged to her. A trustee will be appointed to take charge of the estate of Mrs. Hand. Eighth Ward Politics. A movement on foot among the Higgins men, or among the Republicans opposed to the State Central Committee, of the Eighth ward, to hold a meeting of the voters of the ward sometime this week, to arrange upon a ward ticket to be presented at the meeting on Saturday evening next, of the Higgins wing of the Republican party.

They say they do not propose to suomit to the ticket made out in their ward by Mr. Hawkins and pre sented to last Saturday's meeting of the two wings, at which time a city executive was formed in the interest of the Bird men. The anti-State Central Committee men claim that they can carry the ward In the Interests of their faction, and so present a straight ticket at the next meeting. The report that a compromise ticket is now being formed in the ward is groundless. No such steps have been taken.

An Eye Dislocated. While Lewis West, 9 years old. was handling a yard-stick in the hardware store of Duncan Market 6treet. above Second, he fell over a box. The brass-bound end of the stick came in violent contact with the boy's lower eye lid, and, strange to say, completely dis lodged the eyeball, which lay entirely exposed, though guarded by its stout ten- dour, on young West's cheek until the arrival of a physician, who replaced the truant "peeper." Lewis will not lose the sight of his capricious eve, but will be confined to a dark room for several days to come.
