Captain Kelso aud four others barely
escaped with their lives. The survivors,
who have just reached here, say that
their experience OF the nignt's storm will
long be remembered. The wind blew q
perfect gale, and the night was extremely
GOLD. After the vessel stranded the cap
tain and four of the crew jumped into the
water, and after batting with the
freezing pillows for sons lims, reached
the fats. One of the four who left the
wrecked boat, . German, was 60 badly
chilled from being in the water SO
long that he died soon after making the
shore. The only man who wen. down
with the vessel was a negro, who refused
to leave. His companions sntIeAted him
to leave the doomed craft and make al
effort TO gain the shore, but the negro
would not listen 10 these appeals. The

The horses were stalled on the ground

flames. A few Of the horses broke their
iastenings and rushed headlong into the
fiAmes. The rest, exhausted by their
struggles, lay down in their stalls and
were slowly roasted to death. None Of
the animals were rescued. There were
several valuable troiteTB IN the stables,
and their owners, attracted by the light
Of the fire, buried to the scene and tried
to save them. Their efforts were futile,
however, for the fire ragged so fsroely
that the men refused 10 enter the build,

zHE East Side kOAD.
The Baltimore q Ohio Not Ready 10
Give Up tho Project.

The recent visit Of President Garrett o
the Baltimore & Ohio road to Philsdslphi
has drawn attention TO the question how
the new road will enter Philsdelphia.
The ruling Of the master in the East Side
sohuylklll railroad case WAS suppos, d to
have ended all hopes Of securing an
entrance by that route. but work is still
being done upon It. Viewers have been
appraising property It was desired to OBJ
tain, and some filling has been done In
portions Of the line. II Is considered
probable, however, that no active work
will be done until the courts have passed
upon the matter.
Should the Baltimore & Ohio be barred
out In this direction engineers say there
are but two other routes practicable, both
roundabout. One is to make detour
outside the park and connect with the
main lire OF the Reading far ont Of town,
and the other is to build road through
the park and connect with II near Bel
mont. Either would be iDoonvenient,
and objections would likely be
made whichever was chosen. There
would certainly be opposition to another
line through the park. The route at
present desired ia considered to be the
most advantageous, and strong efforts
will probably be made to obtain II. En-
gineers say that the proposition to build
an elevated road over Grsy's Ferry road
and other ends Uf streets would increase
the cost so enormously ss to be praoti-
cally prohibitory.

CHICAGO, Jan. 28.-A dispatch from
Portland, Oregon, says "During the past

reported very heavy. Cattle and horses
perished by thousands from exposure and
want Of food. The loss Of sheep and
hogs, however, ia reported much greater.

Of loss is very large, but In Rlamoth
county just south, the loss is compare
lively light. The total money value 10

The latest reports from settled regions
esst Of the Cascades are that large num-
bers Of persons frozs to death during the
late cold and protraoted snow storm.
During the continuance Of the storm
persons are known TO have wandered of

persons have been recovered since the
snow disappeared. Very recent inquiries
among relatives and friends disclose the
fact that many persons are still missing

There can be no doubt As to the fate Of
these missing ones. The precise number
of the persons perishing will probably

fhuauelpnlh Leuger's new YORK Letter,
Bishop Lee Of Delaware, is ont in
to.dAy's Churchmdn with another open
letter to the assistant bishop (Potter)
OF this diocese, demonstrating against his
recent official recognition Of "monastic
vows aud orders'' In the case Of "oere.
monies OF the kind prEotiosd at the
profession OF the Rev. Mr.. Huntington"
He says, "the church has made no
provision for q ceremony Of thli kind,
which Is alien from her spirit and ways"
Again, "in the comments OF the public
press the assertion is not unfrequently
made thai, in an age like ours, busy money
getting, self-indulgent, there Is little
danger Of any large aooessions TO such
brotherhoOds, butt" says Bishop Lee, SIT
is not safe to make such predictions. AT
the present day we see strange and mex
pected things. And this opinion Ia not
borne ont by experience. Periods noted
for luxury and indulgence have not been
unfRvorRble for the growth Of monastic
institutions. Some OF the enthusiasts
who have been the most ardent founders
and members Of such orders were,
at an early day, men Of pleasure. Bx-
tremes meet. AsoetieiHm and lioentious-
nese are the outgrowths Of the same
unsound social conditions, and both
flourish in the degree that sober, CON-
sistent, practical Godliness Declines" No
doubt Bishop Potter will have reply 10
this with his usual promptitude, but the
literature Of the controversy, II Is quite
possible, may run into such action In the
next diocesan and general conventions aa
will ssriOusly agitats the church at large.

THE Third SIRE EFT BRIDGE BILL
MIR. Townsend Sets Forth aH1s Side OF
the Case.

Editor Gazeiee A. Journal In the Gdz tie
OF let week van published an article
in relation to the Third Street Bridge bill,
in which noticed go many macon, acies
(not 10 say misrepresentation tending
to convey a wrong Impression, that AK
8 small apsce In your paper to give few
facts concerning the same There seems
TO be an impression that the petitioners
for the chatter TO build Third street
bridge (oT, at least, those who were most
active In the enterprise,) went
to Dover and volunteered TO
build the bridge by private
subscription, free OF cost TO the county,
provided the Legislature would grant the
charter. Now neither the petitioners. ror
any portion OF them ever thought Of hsv
ing to build the bridge by private sub.
scriptiOn. There was q very large petit
tion In favor Of the bridge sent to Dover
in 1867 and at the same time 1t was
strongly opposed by all the large estAb
lishments on the ChristiauR 'front.' above
the bridge, such as Pusey, Jones & Co. the
Bushes, the Warmers, the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Company, J. Morton Poole
and others. It WAS hard but honorable
contest: they, the opponents OF the
bridge, did not fight II on account Of the
cost II would be to the county, but that,
as they contended, II would impede nAvi-
CATION and thus ipjure business above
the bridge, and further that Il was not
needed At that time. So strong WAS the
opposition, that the Legislature,
though they finally passed the bill
authorizing the bridge to be built,
4 AWN o IL IaN
the money should be raised by private
subscription This wss a great dis
appointment to the friends Of the bridge,
80 muoh so, that they thought at the
time, that the bill might as we'll have
been killed. The opponents Of the bridge,
have no doubt, thought about the same
thing. In fact the condition would have
killed the bill, had It not have been
understood on the part Of the
subscribsrs, that the money
would be refunded In case the
bridge should prove a public necessity,
which no one doubts II hiss been. The
opposition to reiundiDg the money cub
soribed, does not come from the partiei
who so strongly opposed the charter, bni
from q much smaller source they, ths
original opponents, with perhaps one Of
two exceptions, Admi. that the brids,
was needed, SSd have no doubt regre
that their opposition was the cause Of thu
Legislature making II . condition, thA
the bridge should be built by privAt,
subscription. No one, that have heard Of
says that those conditions should hav,
been imposed.
The Legislature being the body tina
placed the burden Of building brida
for public use, upon private individuals
is, we think, the body that should tax
the burden of, and we confidently lool
to II for relief in this matter.

This improvement has been bfnu5tt
about by intelligent action Of Ia. orrn

less time on q day when the roads are
bad than he could have done ten ysars
ago. But what we need ia TO have them
in condition every day in the year.
Bad roads are great tax to any com.
munity and the whole road tax OF this
hundred will not begin to pay for the
money lost TO the owners OF ieEms who
are compelled to use them, DC all are,
during our winter and spring months. A
two horse team on good road will do the
work Of q six.horse team on bad roads
and with little or no wear aud tear tn the
vehicle and harness. New Castle hua
dred loses thousands Of d0ilars every year
BY bad roads; and our roads
are naturally good, except when the
frost ia leaving the grUu d. The road
commissioners have been doing some good
work during the past year aud as result
several facts have been brought out
among them, that shells make the best
and cheapest road here when within say
two miles Of base Of supply by water,
and such base can be found to cover
almost all points in the hundred.
As there are perhaps 80 miles Of roads
in the hundred the %, 500 or 81, 900 avail
able for them ia barely sufficient to keep
the roads dfainsd and trunks renewed
and in good order. The road levy ia
about "a, 900. New Castle city gets nearly
81, 900 and with errors and commissions
of the whole amount, the commissioners
get barely the $4,000 fer all purposes re-

Of roads in order.

time driven 4 milk wagon for Thomas
LAwther, farmer near Greenville, W 8
killed Thursday afternoon about 4 30
near Seventh street aud the new B & p.

seems that the unfortunate man was
driving double team along Union street
and when near Seventh the horses
became frightened, turned into that
street and ran to the embankment,
falling with the wagon to the track
below, distance OF 45 feet.
A oolored man named William Dale,
living In the vicinity, came at onos to
police station and reported the accident.
Sergeant Blackburn procured dearborn
from Gawthrop & Brother and went to
the scene. He found the deceased lying
under the boay Of the wagon and with
the assistance Of Dale put him in the
deaTbor and brought him to the office Of
DR.. West, where he was examined by
that physician and pronounced dead.
His neck was broken by the fall.
Deceased was 40 years old and--was
