Dover, May 16.-The Local Preachers
Association of the Wilmington Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church met here
on Friday afternoon, but owing to the fact
of there being no quorum no business was
transacted.
In the evening, however, the usual sermon
was preached by Rev. William IL. VanHorn
of Wilmington, the president of the associa-
ton. The sermon, which was a very able
and interesting one, wrs followed by an
appropriate address by Rev. Charles +. Dun
ming Of Concord, Pa.
The Saturday morning session, was, on
account of the continuing bad weather, very
slimly attended, and no business of import
ance was transacted.
At the annual election of officers of the
Dover M. f. Sunday school the following
were elected Superintendent, Charles Z.

Secretary, W. Lee Cannon ! Librarian, Mrs.

The rains of the last week have reduced
our streets to the condition they were in last
winter, and a scow is now needed to navi-
gate Loockerman street and some parts OF
State street. The Council have had some
propositions before them for paving the
streets, but having some debt and very little
money the problem will probably be too
hard for them to solve. Our people may
thank themselves for this, however, for they
have limited the expenditures of the Coun-
ell to 81, 800, and that will barely pay for
street lamps and keeping in repair such
| streets as we have.
The water works ofthe town are approach
ing completion. The boilers were finished,
| the connection with the mains and reservoir
made and the engines nearly completed last
week. There is about a mile of main pipe
to be laid vet however, but the contractors
hope to have the works ready for trial by the
LIST of June. IN !fa.-
Torbert Post No. 8, Grand Army of the
Republic, are making strenuous efforts to
have a grand celebration here on Decoration
Day. The second battalion of the First
Delaware Regiment has been invited and
will in all probability act as escort to the
post on Decoration Day, and a number OF
posts from other towns are expected to be
present They expect in addition to be able
to make grand floral display and be assisted
by the children of the public schools.

WRECK OF THE PLINY.
How the Women and Children We're
I Brought Ashore by the Surf Line.

A special dispatch to the New York Sun
from Long Branch gives the following addi-
tional particulars of the stranding of the
steamship Pliny
The passengers, consisting of three women,
IL men and 10 children, were safely landed
In the breeches buoy, clad only In their
night clothes. The life line was 800 feet
long and led to the top of the bluff.
A woman was the first to enter the buoy,
and when 1t had been drawn back empty
from the bluff a baby was wrapped up and
laid into the rude basket. Seven of the 10
children on board belonging to Mrs. James
Smidt, whose youngest child II was that was
safely transported on the second trip of the
buoy. 1t was seen to cry Justify on its trip,
but no sound from its little mouth could be
heard in the roar of the surf Two of the
other three children belonged 70 Mrs.
Anthony Eaten, and the third was that OF
Mrs. Fredericka Nagel. When these three
women and their children had all been
safely landed Mrs. Sarah Girdlestone was
sent ashore. tt.t4 U.fs
The crew, consisting of 35 men, landed In
the lifebOat. 1t was with great persuasion
that the captain, Robert Mitchell, was in
duced to leave his ship, and not until after
he was convinced that his leaving her, ac-
cording to the laws OF the State of New
Jersey, would not be abandonment. He
brought with him the ships papers and
other valuables belonging to the. vessel.
The passengers were taken to the residence
of Samuel H. Hendrickson, where they
were well cared for. Provisions and cloth
ing were furnished by the neighbors. The
crew were taken in charge by the crews OF
stations 8 and who prepared a hearty meal
for them.
Captain Mitchell said that his vessel LOADED
with coffee and hides, and consigned to
Busk IL Jevons, agents, No. Al Wall street
when but short time out from Rio Janerio
encountered heavy gale, and was hove to
OFF Arago island, but afterward had fair
weather until she struck storm off Hatteras
on Wednesday. Nevertheless she withstood
the gale until she struck.

MISS pENNY,s LITTLE PRToL..
An Insane AuthOress Attempts to ShOO
Two Kentucky Lawyers. Ir1

An insane AuLDOreSS AIUemptB 10 6nOOC
Two Kentucky Lawyers. 4
LOUISVILLE, May 14.-Miss Virginia G.
Penny, the authoress, created sensation
yesterday by attempting to shoot Colonel
Thomas w. Bullitt and Abner @. Smith,
prominent attorneys at the Louisville bar.
1t appears that Miss Penny has an unfortu-
nate brother, Henry C. Penny, who for years
has been an inmate of the Pennsylvania and
Kentucky Asylums for the Insane, and that
she had another brother, who some years
since killed himself while suffering from
mental depressions, a line of which evidently
runs through the entire family In conse-
quence of II, g. Penny's condition several
committees have been appointed to watch
his interests, and Colonel Bullitt was at one
time the committee, and Mr.. Smith did the
same duties at another. ta -4.
Yesterday afternoon she called at the
office of Col. Bullitt, and after brief con-
versation she drew from her pocket twenty
| calibre seven-shot Smith q Wesson pistol of
old style and attempted TO shoot the Colonel.
He managed to detect her object in time to
make his escape from window, leaving her
alone as master of the situation. She then
left the premises and proceeded to hunt up
Mr. Abner j. Smith, and after short search
found him at the real estate Office of Charles
w. Urdman, in the Saratoga building, at
Fifth and Jefferson streets, and here
similar scene occurred, she present
ing the same weapon at Mr.. Smiths
head, but he quickly caught hold of and
wrenched it from her hand, then seizing her
held on until Officer Harding arrested her.
Meantime Colonel Bullitt had sworn out
warrant and she was Immediately taken
before jury in Judge Jackson's Court,
where she was tried on writ of inqtiressdo
de ,l,tndtico. The scene in the court room
during the trial was one that will not soon
been forgotten, and the woman's history, as
related by her, in which she spoke of her
troubles, was sad indeed, Proof of her in
sanity prevailed to an alarming extent, and
showed that she should have been tried long
ago. The trial ended in her being found Of
unsound mind, and she will be sent to the
Anchorage. Mise Penny is well known
from the fact that many years ago her pro-
ductions were acceptable to the press, and
she did considerable literary work for several
publications in the East. t'i#ah !,
