Wilmington Conference Academy

MEETING OF THE TRUSTEES AT DOVER
ARRANGEMENTS. /. FOR REBUILDING THE
ACADEMY.
Tho Trustees of the Whining tom Con-
ference Academy met at Dover, on Tues
day, at . o. clock, p. M, and continued in
session until ] o'clock yesterday after
noon. The meeting was held mainly for
the purpose OF making arrangements for
the reDuilding.of burned Conference
Academy.
The greatest difficulty that tine Trus-
tees labored under was the attachment
or the insurance of the building by Caleb
Pennewill, of Dover, who represented the
builders of the Academy. The latter
proposed, as a. basis OF settlement, that
the trustees should pay them $4,000 in
cash, $500 in bonds, and the balance OF
the Indebtedness in one and two years.
These terms were accepted at the meet
ing.
the Academy bonds, which will reduce
the bonded debt of the institution to
$4,000, and leave $40. 600 of theinsurance
money to be applied to the rebuilding of
the Academy. To this may be added
$4,000 now in the Treasury, and reliable
subscriptions amounting to $4,000
which will increase the building fund to
1000, an amount deemed ample and
sufficient for all purposes.
The President of the Board, Hon. Cove
salisbury, the Secretary, Chas III b Day,
and the Treasurer, John w Cullen, were
appointed a committee to advertise for
proposals for the erection OF the build
ing.
The Trustees, residents of Dover and
Rev M Williams, Principal of the Acad-
emy, were authorized to determine what
alteration, if any, from the plan of the
original building were necessary, and to
have the same made.
Revs J H Caldwell, b Quigg and r
w Todd were appointed a committee to
solicit relief for Rev NJ Williams, who
lost nearly 81 900 in furniture and per-
sonal property, by the burning of the
Academy.
The arrangements for the erection of
the Academy will be at once carried out,
unless the Insurance Companies serious
ly consider the salvage question, and
erect the building themselves, in lieu of
paying the insurance. This action
| would, at least, secure the speedy erec-
tlon OF the Academy, and effectually set
tie all difference among the Trustees as
to the proper distribution of the insur-
anee money. The committee on propos-
MS, however, Will at once advertise foI
bids, and as they were so authorized by
the meeting, will award the contract to
the lowest and best bidder. The next
meeting OF the Trustees will not be held
until June, by which time, it is expected,
the new building will be under way.
The Academy for present, is being con.
Quoted in an old school building in Dover
and the pupils are boarding at the resi-
dences of Rev j Nj Williams and Pro
Skinner. This arrangement, however,
occasions serious Inconvlence, and the
completion of the new Academy is anx
iously awaited by all concerned.

being called on each side. and there il
no doubt that tho contest will culmi-
nate in II bitter fight at the polls on
the day of the delegate elections, The
ring mea are confident of success, and
make no secret of their high expecta-

GROWTH OF sIIAD FISHING - EXCEL
LENCE OF DELAWARE sHAD,
The fisheries in the waters of the
Delaware river, Its bay and tributaries
have grown with remarkable rapidity
within "a decade OF years, and give
good promise for still further develop
ment in the future. Twelve years ago
there was not busiaess enough done
in this trade in the city of Philadel-
phie to keep employed the attendants
of two ordinary stands; yet such has
been the sudden and continuing de-
mand of more recent years that the
industry has reached almost gigantic
proportions, and is recognized as one
of the most important industries on the
river front, The particularly great
demand occasioned by the Lenten sea-
son, which is now progressing, has
been greater this year than ever before
and it has been with difficulty that the
dealers have continued to meet it,
This scarcity in the supply has it's ORR
gin in the lateness of settled spring,
| the Icy GOODNESS of the river waters
keeping the more desirable fish away
The better class of Delaware shad, for
example, have not yet appeared in the
market, Notwithstanding the several eff
forts that have been made by those
who go fishing Tin an amateur way to
catch them. The gill net fishing, how
ever, was begun in Delaware bay sew
eral days ago, and yesterday three
thousand pretty fair shad were
brought to the city, 1t is not until
much later in the year-in the latter
part Of May, sometimes-tha the
waters of the Delaware are of the pro.
per warmth to entice the shad North,
aud it is the proper course to allow
them to remain in the river several
days before spreading the nets.
The reason for this is that the great
quantities of coal oil which float upon
the surface of the river in the neigh
berhood of League Island and the gas
works have similar attraction for
shad, as has been proven in cases
where they have been placed upon the
table. When this Objectionable fluid
is passed, the fish. driven by an instinct
to provide a pure place of deposit fol
their spawn, travel much further
northward. and are not only soon
cleansed of their impurities, but grow
very fat, and attain a flavor which Is
peculiar to the Delaware river alone
The connoisseur can always detect 6
Delaware shad when he is searching
for savoy dish by the wiggllng of it

clings to lite after all the ether specie.
have succumbed. The male shad
though smaller, are much the fattel
and far richer in flavor than the fe
male. They are curious, toe, ana no
SO apt to run their noses into the ne
when once they have witnessed the re
{ suit of such indiscretion. The shat
that come from the South are not re
commended for us here. Packing ant
shipping them any distance destroy
the peculiar flavor for which they ar,
famed, while the delicate structure o.
the fish itself renders it liable, through
lengthy exposure, to decomposition
On the other hand, Delaware shad cal
be had for use within a few minute
of their capture. In about weel
from new, these fish will be plentiful
and it is thought that the quality will
be better than ever.

retiring Tux Collector for this Hundred,
is, we regret to say delinquent in his ac-
counts to the amount of about S2,90c,
which will have to be made good to the
county by his surities. 1t is hoped that
at least half of the amount can be col
lected from delinquent tax payers, who
goodly number, here in town, who had
paid ! i''in trade but had taken no re-
ceipt, will now lave to pay the securities

lowed up in this double collection, nearly
