THF PENINsULAR FRUIT GROWERS Asso-
CITATION meets in Dover next Tuesday, and it
is hoped that the frrit growers will attend it
more largely or abide by its transactions with
better grace than they have in the future.
This Association is Peninsular only in name,
as those who attend it are mainly from this
county. Instead of being the imposing body
its name would indicate, and the peach inter
est demands, it is composed Of the merest frac
ton Of fruit men, who inaugurate such meas
ures as they deem expedient, only to be
ridiculed by those who stay at home. During
the recent shipping season, when there was so
much of dissatisfaction and disappointment,
this Association came in for it's full share of
censure, and both tongue and pen selected it
out with much vindictiveness, if not clear per
ception, and one was led to infer that the
faul finders know just what should be done
Let such as have pointed out the failures Of the
past attend the meetings in the future and give
their ideas and help make the Association the
benefit it is designed to be, or else cease thei
complaining. There must be larger repre-
sentation of the growers if they would secur,
better plans of action for the future. The few
who do attend show good Intention, if the.
have not matured good plans Of action, bu
those who stay away and find fault show onl
a captious disposition.

The MoRMoNs are now the leading topic Of
discussion in the newspapers. The Govern
ment has resolved to put an end to polygamy,
aud although such law failed to pass Con-
gress last winter-failed to pass the Senate
the authorities of the Territory have decided
that they have sufficient law to suppress it in
existing statutes. and are accordingly creating
a terrible stir in the Mormon temple at Salt
Lake City. The Grand Jury of the Territory,
last week, found true bills of indictment
against Brigham Young and number Of hi,
saints, for immortality and the Chief Justice OF
the Territory issued an order for their arrest
To the surprise Of the Salt Lake people, Henry
W. Lawrence, one Of the leading dissenter.
from Brigham Youngs Church, was at the
same time arrested with George Q. Cannon
the editor of tn. Deseret Ne,1s, and the princi
pal spokesman for Brigham Young. The ar
rest of L4wr.... shows the determination 0
the 4.. ... f..h poyglmy in a spirit o
fairness. Mr.. Lawrence is only the HUSBAND
of two wives, and is proper person to be tn
first dealt with, as he has wealth that can Pre-
cure the best legal defence and test the const
nationality of the law. This movement is nc
against the Mormons as such, but again:
their unhOly doctrine Of polygamy. They al
in state of intense excitement. On Wedne
day last eight thousand Of them assembled
their immense new tabernacle, in Salt Lake
and violent speeches were made by numbC
of the leading high priests of the " Church
Jesus Christ OF the Latter Day Saints"
may be we'll to add that the indictments al
made under laws that the Mormons themselv,
helped to make.

AN EARTHQUAKE IN WILMINGTON The
city Of Wilmington was terribly startled
yesterday Tuesday morning about half past
nine o clock by rumhling noise and shaking
OF the earth, which produced the utmost con-
sternati IN among the people. The vibrations
were so strong that two climneys in East
Fourth street were shaken down, and some
window panes in Shiplay street were broken
out A man named West, c0nversng along
the street, was thrown fat Of his back The
chil1ren in the public schools were so badly
frightened that they had to be sent home
Women were terror stricken and wrung their
hands in anguish, while the sterner sex were
momentarily convulSed with fear Many
rushed impetuousy into tn. streets, and tor a
while the excitement was intense. Business
received temporary check. At first it was
supposed that the Du Pont powder mills had
| exploded, or some large boiler in the city,
but on learning that such was not the case the
CONSERVATION was only increased. The shock
was also very perceptable at Chester, Salem,
New Castle, Delaware City aud even as low
down as Middletown, but was not observed
here, or to a very limited extent.
Later information states that another shock
was felt about midnight last night but not SC
severe as the morning shock.
