CITY AND STATE.
LOCAL DRIFT IN WILMINGTON
AND FURTHER DOWN.
The Delaware city Case before
the ChancellOr-It IL to
be Referred.

The Delaware City church case finally
reached court yesterday ut 10 o'clock
The Chanccry Court met in Dover n
that time. John p. salisbury, Esq,
representing the defendant in the case
in other words the Rev, Mr.. Phillips
asked that the hearing be postponed in
order that he might have time to pre-.
pare answers and atiidavits. He stated
that he had not been retained in the
case until last Wednesday
Messrs. George II. Bates and Austin
Harrington, representing the Bishop
and vcstry of the church, opposed the
application. They We're present with
their witnesses, who had come n long
distance AZ no little Inconvenience, and
desired that the case 90 on.
The Chancellor stated that as the
question at issue was an important one
it would b" better to postpone the hear
ing to near day, that u decision in
the matter OF jurisdiction might be
arrived Mt more speedily. He also
stated that the court did not sit to re-
view the bishop determination with rc-
sprct TO the dissolution Of the pastoral
connection between Rev Mr.. Phillips
and the parish. The church, he observed,
had itself provided, most admirably,
means for determining differences be-
tween church and rcctUry with relation
to the dissolution of the pastoral conncr-
ton, and these means had been invoked
in the case. Rev. Mr.. Phillips was
therefore, ont of the case, except so far
as he was charged with being trcSs-
paSser, jointly with other defendants.
He consderedt The decision of the hiSh-
)p, acting aS he did by the counsel and
ldvice Of the standing committee of the
tiocese as final and conclusive, and not
subject to review in this or any court oil
aw. BY virtue of that decision Rev. |
Mr.. Phillips ceased to be rector of the
'hurCh, and there is no power to re- |
'ieW, unless there be some authority in |
he church with power to make such re-
REV. Holding the bishops decision as
binding and conclusive in this case, |
here can be no review Of it in the Court
If Chaneery.
1t was suggested by the chancellor
hat the counsel on both sides say
whether they could not arrange for the
eference of the question, "as to who is
he legal vestrv Of the church," (Which
uestion he thought the only one in dis
ute) to some Indifferent persons.
The suggestion was acCeded to by
iessrs. Bates and Harrington, who sub.
lifted list of names from which
rbitrators could be taken.
Mr.. Salisbury, counsel for the de.
refused to acquicsce until'he
Duld confer with parties in Delaware
ity.
Further consideration of the matter {
as postponed until next Friday. |
Bishop Lee, Rev DIR. Frost and others a
ere present. Much interest was man
eSted in the proceedings. $

TIIF SHAD SUPPLY,
How the Shad Fishers of the Della.
ware are Paaning Out-The Great
Increase of Shad in the Della.
ware.

The Philadelphia Ledger, referring To
the Delaware shad fisbn.f2S says The
catch OF shad in the Delaware river.
though not so large as in the early part
of the " eek, still continues exceptional
ly heavy. At high water haul at the
Gloucester fishery yesterday morninr
upwards of 300 shad We're caught. The
gill-net fishermen below pennsgroye
sent 10000 shad to Philadelphia market
last week, and it is anticipated that the
present week 5 catch will largely exceed
that. 1t is estimated that l2j, 900 shad
were caught in the Delaware river and
bay last week. The gilers who sent
their fish to market by the market boat
received about 50 per hundred net for
them Prices at Dock street wharf YES
terday were SIG per hundred, but earlier
in the week they Were down to $40 and
Sl2. BY n contract made with the les
sees of the Gloucester fishery the Deia-
ware and Potomac Fish PRESERVING
Company take the entire season = catch
large and small, at the rate of SO per
which will net u nice sum for
the fishery. The run of herring is now
very large, one of the hauis ut the GlOl-
cester fishery this week bringing in 7j.-
600 of these fish.
The reasons for the unusually large
run OF Shad this spring are yariously as
signed. The Fish Commissioner, of
New jersey attribute the increasing
yields Of shad in the Delaware river TO
their vigilance in preventing illegal
fishing, especially the rigid enforcement
Jf the Sunday fishing law. The com |
report that The catch Of shad
n the Delaware in 1879 was more than
200, 600 more than that Of the Dreccdr"
year, while in 1880 there WAS the same
Increase over that of 1879 1t is known
hat the catch of shad in tie South this
'pring was almost Il failure, attributed
o the long continued winter and CON
equent cold water, which prevented
he fish from leaving the sea. 1t is said
hat these fish are now entering the
reSh waters of the more northern
treams, hence the large yield. The
atch in the Susquehanna river and New
Iork bay and rivers is said to be fully
qual i'll proportion to that of the Della
ware. Again, old fishermen say that
heir experience has been that always
tter long and cold winter shad have
cen plenty. The shad caught in the
Delaware this year run much larger in
lZe than in previous seasons. The catch
lg Of shad by the shore net at Glouccs-
9r is a very interesting sight, and us
ally attracts u Large crowd Of people
ON this city.

Peril OF The Electric Light.

At a recent meeting of the New YorI;
Board Ut FIRE Insurance UnuerWrlterS
the danger arising from the Use of cleo
trlc lights came up for discussion The
matter had been investigated on account
OF an accident u short time ago in a
| Ijewelry store in Maiden lane. 4 tele-
phone is in this store, and the Otherday,
when man was on the roof runningan
electric night WlreacroSs, it came in con-
tact with the telephone wire, and flash
passeddown to the telephone box, melt
ing the annunciator and other metallic
parts and burning the box. The shock
loOSened a considerable extent of
plaster.
City Electrician Smith said that the
shock which demolished the telephone
in the jewellers store must, he thought,
have been very powerful, and had any
one been at the telephone h" might
have been killed; or if the flame had
passed near light goods, ,thercmight have
been COntagratiOn. The wires of the
electric light ought to be thoroughly
insulated.
superintendent Harrison, of the New
EO-k Board of Fire Insurance Under |
writers, said that the Board would ask
the proper authorities to see that the
electric wires were properly insulated
Owing to the rapid introduction Of the
electric light, and the many new wires
that Were being run over the city
houses, the danger he said, was con
stantly increasing, In the meantime
buildings using the electric light would
be rated as specially hazardous, unless
the insulation ofthe wires was approved.
"A. A. Hayes, Jr, of the Brush Eec-
tric Lighting Company, has Informed
the Board that the wires of that COM
pany were already insulated while the
matter was under discussion; and since
