Annual Meeting of the Owners Yes

The annual meeting of the Cherry
Island Marsh Company was held at the
Lafayette Hotel corner Ninth and Shipley
streets, Monday afternoon, where the
members partook of an excellent dinner
which did great credit to Mr.. Pyle the
proprietor.
They elected the following directors
Isaac 5. Elliott, Eli Garrett, Charles w.
Tallcy, Thomas $. Robinson and Eli
Mendenhall.
IL. c. Mahatfy was elected collector and
treasurer.
During the meeting members visited
the property aud made a thorough in
spection of the marsh banks, on which a
large expenditure has been made tor

were found ia excellent condition, and
the taxes due for putting them in such
condition were promptly paid in full to

which constitute the Cherry Island Marsh
Company, comprises 9l4 acres of marsh
land, lying between the Brandywne and
the Delaware river, which is the marsh

particularly well adapted to such extern

which is less depth than it is necessary

A FORMER WILMINGTON MINISTER
Sad Death of the Rev. AbieI silver
by Drowning at ROxbufy, Mass

dispatch published in Mondays
EVERY EVENING stated that the body of the
Rev. Abiel Silver, well-known Sweden
borgian minister of Roxbury, Mass, was
found floating in the st. Charles river on
Sunday night.
The Rev. Mr.. Silver was well known in
this city, having been the first pastor of
the New Jerusalem Church here. He was
called to the charge of this
church in February 1858, his acceptance
being dated on March 4th following. He
remained as pastor of the church until
1860, when he accepted a call to New
York, but returned after some years alb
sence, occupying the pastorate until 1866.
He then again resigned and was sue
ceeded by the Rev. Willard Hall
Hinckley, of Baltimore, who in turn gave
place to Mr.. Seward
While here Mr.. Silver was much liked
both by his congregation and by the
people generally, impressing everyone as
gentleman of singular power and
earnestness in the cause he had espoused.
lie was native of New Hampshire and
was at the time of his death nearly if not
quite 81 years of age. He was formerly
an Episcopal clergyman, but about 30
years ago lie was ordained as Il preacher
of the Swedenborgian faith. He lived for
some time in Michigan and northern
Indiana, where he was known as Judge
Silver. While there he met with an
accident that rendered necessary the
amputation of his left arm. In
his lifetime Mr.. Silver supplied many
pulpits at many places, and before and
after his engagements in Wilmington he
Travelled extensively throughout the
Northwest and the East, becoming very
widely known. For the past ten years
his engagements have been principally
in the New England states. At the time
of his death he was pastor of the Boston
Highlands Society of the New Jerusalem.
He has written many books and pamph-
let's on religious topics. Among these
were books entitled "rhe Holy Word in
its Own Defense" "rhe Syinbolical
Character Of the Holy Scriptures" and
"rhe Philosophy Of the Christian Re-
ligion." In personal character he was
quiet and transformations but industrious
worker, and did a great deal of good with
out display, He was remarkably strong
and rugged for one OF such advanced age
and took vigorous exercise daily, nearly
always preterring to walk rather than
ride in the horse cars. lie leaves

A later account OF his death says that
his body was discovered about 9 O'Clock
sunday evening by Nathaniel Z. Strong,
the drawtender ut Prison Point bridge.

Immediately taken up and identified by
papers and letters found upon it. 1t
appears that Mr.. Silver left Boston OH
Saturday to preach in Salem Sunday, and
this is the last information his friends
have had of his movements. 1t is sup
posed that on his return he left the train
at Prison Point, with the intention of
walking in from there. to his home, and
there met with the accident which re-
suited in his death.

A BAND OF BURGLARS.
Their Leader Captured and Killed
In Attempting TO Escape.

AhSoCldltu ITtSS Jlsptlcutss
MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 30.-The
band of burglars who have been operat-
ing in this city for several months past
was effectually broken up yesterday by
the capture of the leader, who has been
passing under the name of Sutton, and
claimed to be gambler, but whose real
name is Chastine.
He admitted that he was an escaped
convict from Missouri.
After his arrest he attempted to escape,
when he was shot at by Officers Martin
and Jones who had him in charge. Both
shots took effect in his back and he died
at o'clock this morning.
Nothing could be got out of him con-
corning his confederates, he maintaining
that he did the work alone.
A young man calling himself Bailey is
now under arrest on suspicion. Six
others, who are supposed to have be-
longed to the gang, have left the city.
A good many articles belonging to citi-

found in Chastine's valise, together with

RAILROAD GOSSIP.
The Meeting OF the New Board Of the
Delaware Western President
Hinckley TO Retire-Tbe Changes
I'm the P,. w. a II.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Delaware Western railroad directors was
held at the Office, in this city, Tuesday
afternoon. Present at the meeting were a
number of representatives of the b. x o.
railroad, including Robert Garrett, John
w. Davis, Osborn Latrobe and John X.
Cowan. The main object of the meeting
was to complete the reorganization of the
board. AS to the new road nothing def
mite was said or done. j. w. Davis was
temporary president of the meeting.
Osbor nLatrobe was elected director.
As was announced in our last edition
yesterday the only business transacted at
the first meeting of the new board of the
Delaware Western railroad yesterday was
the election of Mr.. Osman Latrobe as a
director and other matters having relation
to the new control not made public.
The Philadelphia Times of this morn
ing has a report of an interview with
President Hinckley, of the p, W. x b.
road, in which he is represented as say
ing that he expects to retire from the
Presidency of the road, as soon as the
Board of Directors is changed. There
will be no occasion for separate Presi-
dent, he says, as the same men can act
as Ulcers Of both companies. Mr..
lIinckley also said he did not anticipate
the building of railroad by the Balti-
more & Ohio, thinking it would he con-
tent to depend ON the facilities offered it
by the Pennsylvania for reaching New
York. This is Mr., Hinckleys own idea
and is opposed by the positive declara-
tions of the Baltimore & Ohio's own
people. ....... .-.......
The Baltimore american contains con-
siderable speculation to-day concerning
the results of the coming change in the
control of the p, W. Il b. road, the only
interesting part of which is as follows:
Mr., II. Il. Kenney, the present super
intendent of the Philadelphia, Whining
ton & Baltimore, will, it is said, have his
authority extended over the Baltimore &
Potomac and Alexandria X Fredericks-
burg branches of the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN after next Monday, while Mr.. G. c.
wilkins, the present Superintendent of
the Northern Central and Baltimore X
Potomac, will be continued in charge of
the Northern Central only. Already
officials of the Pennsylvania road distrib-
uted along the line of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington & Baltimore are familiari2mg
themselves with the details of the bust
ness of the road, in orderlto assist in the
work of recognizing it. 1t is not prob
able that there will be many changes
among the rank and file of the employers:
indeed, well-known railroad man in
this city stated yesterday that there
would not be any"
We give the above for what it may be
worth merely remarking that we are not
for the present disposed to accept it as
''oiicial."

NEW CASTLE ELECTION.
Preparations for the Contest Next
Month-Two Tickets for Council

mem
The New Castle city election takes place
on April 18th and though there will be
no political issue there will probably be
two tickets in the field for members of
City Council.
4 meeting was recently held in which
some % people participated which, it is
alleged, was designed to antagonize Mr.
William Herbert 1t is understood that
those concerned agreed on the following
ticket:
For Mayor-Samucl IL. Black. ...
For RECOMMENDATION F. Lane.
For Assrssor--Israel Rulings.
For Council--Jamcs NJ. Wise, Jr.,
Walter i. Wolfkill and either Jacob
Saunders or Gardiner l.. Jemison.
This is called the independent ticket.
Mr.. Herbert had not intended TO be can
lidate for Council. but as u direct fight
has been gratuitously made, he will yield
to the demand of his friends and he a
candidate. and what is known as the
regular ticket will he run with the candi-
dates above named for mayor, treasurer
and assessor, but with William Herbert,
Hiram Boric and James Toner as candi-
dates for Council.
A representative of EVERY EVENING met
Mr. Herbert yesterday and laughingly
asked him il he thought he could be
elected. Mr.. Herbert said he did not
know lie had had no thought of run
ming until an utterly uncalled-for attack
was made upon him, after which he con
cluded to yield to the solicitation of his
friends and test the question whether OF
not the people of New Castle are tired OF
| his services.
