There were about 1000 Delawareaps
Monday who surmised at odd intervals
that che cities, towns, villages aud corn
fields Of their nativity might be swelter-
ing and parohing under q very hot sun,
but who could mot be assured OF this by
their own feelings, for the heat was tenn.
pered TO them by brisk, salty breeze
which made them feel gla1 they were
living. These were those who took part
in Philip R. Clark's excursion to Cape
May and the Break water, and there has
never been 9 more thoroughly sooiable
and we'll. behaved crowd Of the size taken
down the bay. There was no unple ssant.
ness or disorder Of any kind every one
went In for day Of rational enjoyment
for himself and those around him, and
the utmost good feeling prevailed.
Among the exeursionista from this city
were the two shsrifalty candidates,
Thomas Ford and Frank C. StidhRm,
who, after greeting each other cordially
and with kind wishes for mutual defeat,
proceed each in his most winning way to
oajole the undecided voter to the best Of
his ability.
The Wilmington exoursionis.s were
estimated At from 900 to 700 in number.
They crowded eight cars, and pulled out
from the p, W. & b. depot as the Z
O'Clock whistles were blowing. They
found the steamer Republic waiting for
them at the river wharf, she having left
Philadelphia about q. m with some 100
early risers from that oity. At New
Castle and Delaware City between 300
and 400 more exoursionists were taken
ah au1 -
reached at IL 20. The larger part OF the
passengers disembarked here, some 300
remaining Aboard for the trip to the
Breakwater.
The run across TO the Breakwater and
back occupied II hours and was the most
exhilsratiug feature OF the day. The
water was aRitated by what seamen would
call gentle swell; It was Just pronounced
enough to make landsmen unsteady on
their pins and to treat those who thIonged
the rail on the upper fore deck to an
occasional drenohing with spray; yet 1t
proved too rough foI the stomRohs Of some
OF the party, who lay down here and
there around the boat ard said they
wanted TO 20 home. Most Of those aboard
however, were good enough sailors to en-
joy the slight pitching for all It was
worth, as . very agreeable episode Of the
days trip.
Returning to Cape May landing at 2.15
the rest Of the exoursionists dissmbarked
and enjoyed themselves ashore until
O'Clock, when the Republic started on her
return voyage. An unfsvorable tide
made the home journey slow and It was
about 9.16 wBen the Wilmingtonians
reached their wharf and 10 p. IN. when
the Wilmington & Northern cars landed
them at the station.
The trip was enlivened by excellent
music rendered by the First Regiment
Band,

MILLS SHUT DOWN.


| Ane WsAVefh nj hShuute'n BefuHo g
Work at tbo Reduced Rate-3OC
People Thrown out OF work.
james Riddle, Son & Compsny's large
cotton mills along the BrAndywine were
shut down for an indefinite y, riod Mon.
day morning owing to the refusal Of the
weavsrs TO return TO their looms, under
the reduced scale Of wages. Upon the
notification by the managers few days
since that a 10 per cent. reduction In
wages wonld 60 iuto effect after the first
OF September the weavers declined TO
work and left their looms. Some Of them,
however, retuyned and the mill was kept
in operation all last week.
On Saturday Mr.. Field, the manage r.,
gave notice that the mills would be put
in operation this morning, but II the
striking weavefs had not returned in
readiness to 90 to work, the mills would
be shut down. As arranged the mills
were started at the customary time this
morning, but as only about 80 OF the 20
weavers were in their places, the mills
were at once stopped, to remain closed
probably until there lie q change for the
better In the cotton market.
By the stopping Of the mills 800 EN-
ployes are thrown out Of work, many Of
whom will suffer considerably by being
deprived Of their means Of livelihood.
Upon learning that work was to be
stopped the employees filed peacefully
from the buildings to their homes, with
ont the least disorder. Some, however,
expressed themselves in rather unoom-
plimentary terms at the 40 weavers whose
refusal to aooede to the reduction had
thrown them all out Of employment.
Shortly alter the mills were closed up
the manager, William M. Field, was seen
by an STATE JOURNAL representative. He
expressed q very kind feeling for his en-
ployes and sorrow at being obliged to
close mp his mills, although, he stated, IL
would be to his peouniary advantage to
do so. The reduction Of 10 per cent in
the wages, he claimed was neoessitated
by the advance Of about Ia cents In the
price OF raw cotton, and deoline Of from
10 TO 10 per cent for made mp goods In
comparison with q corresponding period
Of last year. The mills, therefore, were
being run at heavy loss, but the man
ager rather than throw his operatives ont
Of employment would sustain some less.
Referring to the pay rolls of the mill
operatives Mr.. Field stated that the
wesvors got more pay than those in the
other departments, and consequently had
less occasion to strike. The others were
satisfied with their pay and willing to 20
on working. Upon examination, the pay
roll shows that the weavers received
great deal more wages for two weeks Of
last month that for a corresponding
period last year. The increase in some
instances is quite a sum and amounts to
II per cent upon the total sum paid to
the 20 weavers. On account Of better
class Of work, the weavers are able to
make more money this year than last.
