I AIRD ED\1|0N,
A Crank In Church.

According to the usual custom, Rev.
W. l. S. Murray, before commencing
his Sunday discourse yesterday morn
ing at Asbury Nj. Z. Church, gave an
invitation for persons to join the,church
from some other charge. 4 man and
his wife responded, and Mr.. Murray
preached his sermon. Father Taylor
followed with closing prayer, at the
end of which genfeely dressed man.
apparently some thirty years oid, OF
medium slze and pleasant address, sot
up and came forward, stating that ne
wished to join the church on proDa-
, ton.
MI. Murray took his name, which
was John Myers. He stated that ne
was now residing in this city. As
Mr.. Murray was about entering MS
name in little memorandum book,
Myers asked if he could speak word
to the congregation, and consent being
given he faced the congregation with
his back to the minister, and COM
menced saying: 81 come here to
defend Mr.. Barkley's cause. There is
man in this congregation who called
me John the Baptist"
Mr.. Murray being convinced that the
man was demented, gently laid his
hand upon his shoulder, telling him
that he could not join that church and
asked him to take his seat.
He has got to prove what he says or
I'll burn every house in the city, con-
tinued Myers, as he started down the
aisle as Murray thought to his seat. but
it seemed he passed on out OF the door.
He was heard to say, however, as he
passed down: "I'll kill that preacher. y
The affair caused considerable excite
ment in the congregation which was al
lay Il by Mr.. Murryay, taking his place
in ina pulpit and stating that the man
,rs evidently laboring under a mental
az ration of the mind and was entitled
in - great measure to the syrnpathies
anu prayers of the congregation. Bar
kley & Bro. knew nothing about the
man, but member of Asbury church,
who seems to know something about
him, says he has been living alternately
in Baltimore and Wilmington for sew
eral years past; that he was barber by
occupation, and that he was subject to
such spells of mental alteration.

How careful market peo-

They don't want a knotty,
hard, scurvey apple, nor a
half rotten premature peach,
but they want the best, because
they know that the best are

much difference in flour as in

prehend it. Bread is the

Her marriage, she said, was to take
place Oh Wednesday next with we'll
known Knight Tenplar Of Wilmington.
After spending the day In making the
round OF the dry goods establishments,
she started for the Wilmington boat,
having bought return ticket by that
route.
She reached the wharf just as the
steamer cast off. She then turned up
Market street, not knowing what to do
AZ she was without money. After
strolling aimlessly about for several
hours, trying to recollect the address OF
an acquaintance in this city, she was
approached, while standing on the cor
ner of Eighth audArch streets, about II
O'Clock, BY John Cullen, respectable
looking young man, wearing his left
arm In a sling. She told him her story
and accepted his proffer of a lodging at
his home.
Cullen led her to William A. Duff's
livery stable, at $40 Cherry street, say
ing his folks were out and he could not
get into his house, which, he said, was
near by. She remained seated in a
chair for some time, talking, and final
ly expressed wish for something to
eat Cullen went 10 restaurant on
Eighth street for some fried oysters.
During his absence, Miss Sunderland
SAYS, several men crawled ont from
under the vehicles stored in the stable,
seized and threw her into wagon and
attempted violence. They also tried
to rob her ofa gold watch and chain
which she wore. Her screams so
frightened the villains that they let her
90 and made their escape. No police
man appeared upon the scene.
Mrs. Susan Thompson, of 2 Hal'on
place, situated across the street from
the stable, a wakened by the outcries,
opened her door and gave the woman
shelter until yesterday morning, when
she accompanied her to the eaRly Will
mington boat.
Mrs. Thompson, in describing the
young woman last night, said she was
about twenty-five years of age, fair
complexioned and wore eyeglasses.
She was fashionably dressed, wore a
Gainsborough hat with black Gathers,
gold bracelets aud watch, the chain
of which was broken in the struggle
with her assailants. Miss Sunderland

A TIMELY DIECOVERY.
A Serious Con migration Averted
Through the Efforts OF Some

Boys.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
several boys in the neighborhood OF
Third and Pine streets saw smoke issu
ing from the sheds of the p. W. & B..
railroad freight station, in that vicinity
and peeping through the cracks of the
fence discovered fire blrning on The
platform. They immediately notified a
member of the Reliance Fire Com
pany, who started at once for the engine
house.
In the meantime an effort was made
to strike an alarm from the signal box,
a short distance away, but no key could
be found, and the alarm being spread
among persons residing in the vicinity,
a bucket brigade was soon formed, and
the fire extinguished by this method
TheReliance hose carriage soon arrived,
however, and laid line of hose, but no
water was put on by them, as the fire
was about out when they arrived.
The Delaware truck was also On hand.
Upon investigation it was shown that
the fire originated in a pile OF doors,
which were unloadtd Saturday after
noon for the Delaware Lumter COmpa
ny. Near the doors was a lot of win
dow sash and other inflammable mate
rial, and had it not been for the timely
discovery. a serious confagration would
no doubt have been the result.
1t il supposed that the place was set
on fire, but by whom it is not positive
ly known, and an investigation of the
affair will be made. This morning a
strange young man presented himself
at the Office of theCompany and claimed
a reward for, as he asserts, giving the
warning and averting the fire. His &C.
tions are looked upon with suspicion as
he had been talking rather " loud"
since the fire. The damage done to the
doors belonging to the Delaware Lun'
Der Company, as well as to the platform
of the Railroad Company,w probably
reach 500.

Prince Charles, the festivities in honor of
the silver wedding of the crown prince,
Frederick William, have been abandoned
The theaters will be kept closed until after
the funeral Prince Charles had been
indisposed for some time, and became
seriously i'll yesterday. His symp-
toms, which assumed an aggrava-
ted character towards evening,
abated somewhat this morning,
but after noon he sank rapidly until short
ly before 3, when he expired. The
emperor remained sometime in the fore
noon with the prince, who was also visited
by the empress. Prince Frederick Will
liam and other princes, the emperor and
empress, partook of the sacrament with
the dying man at 100. The last
words of Prince Charles were ''Long live
the emperor Princess Marie, wife of
Prince Frederick Charles, son of deceased,
is i'll and confined to bed.
The death of Prince Charles cast a
gloom over the city. Flags everywhere
are at half mast. The emperor is very
much affected. Considerable anxiety is
felt in regard to his health.
