Henry R. Rogers, and Rebecca, his wife,
who lived at 66 Stuyvesant avenue, Brook
lyn, took passage last fall in the City of
Waco, for Galveston, where Mr.. Rogers in
tended to 60 into the cattle trade. On the
night of Nov. s heavy storm accompanied
by thunder and lightning, prevented the
steamer from entering the harbor, and she
took fire and was burned to the waters
edge. All on board persisted. Mr.. and
Mrs. Rogers left no children. Charles W.
Rogers, brother, applied to Surrogate
Veeder for letters of administration on the
personal property, consisting of $4,000 left
in the Williamsburg Savings Bank in the
name of Mrs. Rogers. He demands this as
his brothers heir, on the grounds that the
presumption of law is that the husband,
being the stronger, would survive longer
than his wife, and that, therefore, he in
herited her property. The claim of the
brother is contested by Mrs. Bates, a sister
of Mrs. Rogers, residing in London, Eng
land.

FISHERS LAST OUTRAGE.

The article in yesterdays Commereid, and
which we republish to day relating to the
Fisher Nolen matter, is sufficient to make
every Delawarean draw sigh Of relief at
the narrow escape we have made from the
infiction Of such disruptable character
upon us as Judge Fisher, in high govern
ment position. The HERALD has not
handled the case Of Fisher in a gingerly
way, because it knew the man
to be exactly what he is, a
social outcast, and proven in yesterdays
Commercial to be dishonest. In this way
he swung into power, and in this way he
maintained it, until the Administration
disowned him for its own protection. 1t
is now more than plain why he wished the
appointment, to shield those whom he
made his servants, as he would do in the
cases of his son and Harrington;
removed to this District the charges
would be wiped out by his political tactics,
which are transcendent over the law. We
have had enough to convince us that he is
not deserving of the love of the Good
Samaritans down the State, who declare
his confirmation would be wise one.
Spare us from any such physic as this.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.

The meeting of Boards of Trade is of
saIutary influence in promoting trade and'
commerce. In all the larger cities they
occur annually, and by the bringing to-
gether Of prominent tradesmen and mer-
chants; ideas are exchanged, experiences
related and suggestions made which are
always wholesome, and offer lessons of
p.otit. In New York these meetings call
together the educated and practical in
friendly discussion. 1t enables them to
ascertain the exact standing of trade, and
if possible, what improvements can be made
to correct stagnating influences. We think
that if our Wilmington Board of Trade
were to hold meetings of this kind every
year, at which there would be represen-
tation of business men from other places
lo-exehange ideas and opinions with the
merchants Of Wilmington, it could be
n .de of the same profit that it does to the
merchants of larger cities in which they
are held. We publish in another column
the speech of Mr.. Low, a prominent mer-
chant of New York, given at a meeting Of
the National Board of Tradein New York,
on American Commerce, which is well
worthy careful reading. In speaking OF
these meetings the New York Herald
says:
The coming together of the business men
of this country for the purpose ofdiscussing
the conditions and prospects of our COM
mercial relations cannot but have a happy
influence. From the speech Of Mr.. Low,
who may be regarded as in some sort the
official spokesman of the assembled mer.
cnants, we judge that our business men
look with confidence to the future. The
partial distress existing in business is at
tributed by them to its true cause.-the
overproduction which has taken place
throughout the civilized world during
the last decade, aggravated by
the sudden return offorty-Hve mi
lion people to economic habits
But the merchants believe in The
return wave of prosperity which mus
como as reaction from natural causes
I'd which will leave the business of the
'ntry on better and sounder basis thar
before occupied.

itself in the convention, in the election it
wall be dropped altogether. Mr.. Kelly
announced from the platform Of the con-
vention that although he had opposed the
nomination Of Mr.. Tilden for very geod
reasons, he wsuld give him his earnest
