The death of this gentleman will not
only be loss to Newcastle county, but to
the entire State. He was stricken down on
Tuesday last with appoplexy and died yes
terday at his residence betweenthis city and

of the best farmers on the Peninsula. He
contributed number of article upon agri-
cultural subjects to the Milford and Will

AMUSEM ENTS.

The large and intelligent audience which
assembled at the Opera House last evening
would certainly be taken by Carneross &
Dixey's Minstrel Troupe as an evidence of
its popularity among Wilmington people.
From the acting 1t is safe to say that every
member of the troupe did the best possible,
and J. L. Carcross, although his singing is
always superb, seemed last evening to cx-
ceed any Of his previous efforts. The grand
est feature Of the evenings entertainment
was the Centennial Tableau, which was
simply grand, and the audience testified
their appreciation by repeated stamping
and clapping. Every piece was well re-
ceived, and all the performers received
hearty sneores.

Profession and Reception at the Church
Ofthe Sacred Heart.
On Tuesday morning last, three ladies
were received into the order Of the Sisters
of St. Benedict, two of whom, Sisters
Agatha and Stanislaus made their perpet-
ual VOWS, and the other, Sister Francis,
took the first veil as novice. Solemn high
mass was celebrated at 9 A. M, and the
Rev. Father Mayer delivered very i'm
pressive sermon on the occasion, taking for
his subject, that part of chapter xix of St.
Mathews gospel, where ''Our Lord speaks
to Peter, telling him to leave father, home,
friends and everything, to follow him, and
in the end he would receive life everlast-
ing" The speaker said the Protestants
held the bible as their rule of faith, but
where, except among Catholics was the
above fully practiced. Catholic priests,
nuns and brothers, left home, friends and
all to serve Christ. They take vows OF
"poverty, chastity and obedience"
The ceremony was witnessed by great
numbers of people.

On Wednesday, the City of Houston,
which has been running between the city OF
New York and Galveston, Texas, arrived
at the yards of the Harlan & Hollingsworth,
and will 60 into the dry docks Immediately
for important alterations. The ship Is

She is TO be heightened fifty feet at the
bows, this alteration being necessary on
account of difficulty In sailing in her
present condition. The work will be pushed
forward with dispatch.
Workmen are now engaged upon the U.
8. iron-clad monitor, which is being built
at the H. & H. yards, and her deck will
soon be completed, but there 10 no prospect
of the early completion Of the boat on ae-
count of the absence of funds for the pur4

Another launch Of an iron steamship, the
Morgan City, takes place tomorrow 1t Har-
Ian & Hollingsworth's yards. The exact time
of the launch has not been determined upon,
a. yet, but will depend upor the state Of
the tide. The Morgan City, % our readers
know, 10 the second of the Morgan steam-
ers, commenced last fall, and is nearly .
counterpart of the Algiers, already COM
pleted, the dimensions Of which We have
given several times.
The Morgan City machinery consists Of
an inverted, direct acting, surface conden-
sing propeller engine; A inches diameter Of
cylinder and 66 inches stroke, and carrying
go pounds Of steam; No. 5 Woodward
crank wheel steam pump; two return tu-
bular boilers. about 12}1 feet in length and
liz feet in diameter, containing about 1000
square feet of heating surface and carrying
go pounds working pressure per square inch.
Two dre pumps (deuble acting compost
tion) are used, forward and AFT, and Will be
furnished with pipes and valves connecting
with the skin Of the hull below the water
line. The ship will be furnished withtwo
anchors, $500 and $500 pounds, and an
iron and wooden life boat, each 22 feet
lOu&, duu klk IL le0t AoAk'
She will have two water-tight compart-
ments, for carrying water ballast, with sr-
rangements for filling them from the ses
and pumping out by the engine. The main
and spar decks, are of yellow pine, the &C.
commodations for the officers and kcrew
being on the latter deck. The water tanks
hold 1900 gallons and the coal bunkers
about $50 tons.
The vessel will be completed 40 soon %
possible, after the launch, and sent to the
Morgan company at New York. The
launch will in all probability, take place
in the afternoon, as the tide will be more
likely to be favorable at that time.

TEE RECENT FIGHT.
Why tho Growssd was Chosen

VWv tSS0 VvVW1SsS sVOS ~ssVSV"
Yesterday morning representative OF
The MORNING HERALD, while in Phila-
delphia came across one of the sporting
men who witnessed the fight near Newark
the day previous. At the time he was con-
vsrsing with Sam Collyer, and when he had
concluded, he placed himself at the service
ofthe reporter, to answer any questions that
might be asked him. The first asked, wai
why the fighters chose the particular To-
cality that they did. For the simple reason
answered the sporting man, that it is one Of
the safest in the country. 1t IL naturally Sc.
lected by the ring men of Philadelphia
as Canada Is selected by tho ring men Of
New York. It is one of the very safest
places, he went on to state, that I know Of
in these whole United States or outside ol
them.
You see sir, down there we have the ex-
cellent advantage, Of being able to occupy
three States, and It would have been
impossible to prevent the fight, unless
there had been three Sheriffs present, one
from some county in each State. The ring
was pitched in such manner that It ex-
tended over the line of the three States. II
sheriff from Delaware had appeared, all
that it would have been necessary to do to
AVOID him, would be to retreat to another
corner of the ring and the fighters would
then have been In Pennsylvania, if by
chance there had been sheriff there, they
could have easily skedaddled to another
corner and been in Maryland. Thus you
see the fight could not have been prevented
unless as said before, there we're three
sheriffs upon the ground.
There was fight there once before be.
tween Sam Collyer and man named Kel.
ly, and 1t was Collyer who suggested this
particular locality as the best one to
choose, as he knows more about 1t thar
any of the others. In answer to the
question whether it would be used again
he answered that 1t was not very likely that
1t would in q short while, for those sher-
iffs whose counties border just about that
locality will watch it with care that will
not make 1t safe for anyone else to 20 there
to engage in prize fight, and woe be to the
man who is caught, for he will have to
suffer more than any stakes will amount
to. The laws against it have gotten to be
as bad as they are about duelling, and it IL
an aw full risk to run. And If another fight
comes off down there it will be after tho ex-
citement has died out, and the keenness Of
sherifs is blunted.
In answer to the question, which 10 the
wered, WheedoR, but stated that he aBdIhit
friends were overawed by the majority O.
the opposing force.
