PRELIMINARY MEETING LAST EVENING AT THE
BOARD OF TRADE ROOM.

BOARD OF TRADE ROOM.
A preliminary meeting Of the Delaware
Prison RefOrTs. Association was held in the
Board of Trade Room fast evening" ct 8 SeIoek;
Mr. George c. MAris, Rev, Fielder IsaGelsS 5)Es
II. +. AsEew, Dr. L=P. Bush,Of the eoFporaIoss
present. .~G..s -Ss,-.'ar
DIR. Askew read letter from Judge Caleb s.
LsytOn.of Sussex county, stating his inability to
attend the meeting AID wishing the cause sue
Gers.
DIR. Bush spoke of the difficulty Of holding
meetings; that everybody seems 10 be busy and
few took any interest in the object. Ifthe Quaker
friends, who generally feel interested in the
matter, should come forward, something might
be done.
Rev. Mr.. Israel thought the association was
not generally known. y-'t
DIR. Bush thought good impression could be
made 1t one or two members went into the lower
counties and cOOpeTated with interested parties,
People don't generally see the demand for such
an associations action. The necessity for the
Organizations labor has TO be created and then
that idea has TO be maintained. Members can.
not 60 into the lower counties to further their
objects, unless invited, as each county wants to
DO ITS oHn work and The people are moi willing
10 be interfered With.
Rev. Nj. Israel said the Legislature gave all
the power necessary in this respect. Members
could go 10 the other counties and get parties
there 10 examine jails and almshouses, and then
report 10 the association. .[ts
DR.. Bush thought all prisons should be fur
nlshed with reading matter Of moral end reliR.
ious character. Annual reports from each county
could Be made as regards prisons.
MI MaTis, the Secretary, said he had sent a
notice TO each Of the county managers.
Dr. Bush moved that The Secretary notify all
managers and members Of the next meeting,
which was agreed 10.
AT the meeting, to be held at three o'clock
next Thursday aslernOon, at the Board Of Trade
kcom, an election Of officers will be made. A
public meeting should also be called, most
Probabiy in the early part Of May.
Hon. Joseph Z. Chandler, Of Philadelphia,
was spoken Of as being a very desirable party 10
have present at the May meeting.
A ticket OF u managers, from each Counly
ln..the State WAS formed, 90 as 70 be ready for

The blockade is in the neighbOrhO0d Of Isa-

distance of three miles, and some Of the
drifts are twelve feet high. A freight train
is lying in cut there, and some Of the house
cars are completely covered with snow. The
snow is so light that as fast as it is shoVeled
out it blows in again. The wind is so high
and the cold so intense that very little can be
done until the weather mOderates. There are
two freight and two passenger trains blOcka-
ded, and the crews and passengers are making
themselves as comfortable as possible under
the circumstances at houses in the neighbor-
hood. The crew Of The puSber at BirdsbOrO
was ordered out on Monday night, at 10 o.
block, TO the relief of the blockaded trains,

getting further than Springfield. They re-
