JAMES oARM1oHAEL APPOINTED
The New Water Commissioner
What Is said of the Appointment.

what Is said of the Appointment.
Every Evening Of yesterday.
Mayor Rhoads this morning appointed
James Carmichael member OF the Water
Commission, to succeed William q. Glib
bons, whose term of Office expired last
night. Mr.. Carmichael appeared before
his honor ut q o'clock this morning and
took the oath of Office.
The new appointee is a well. known
Democrat and has been in the employ of
the Harlan a. Hollingsworth Company as
foreman of its machine shop for over 20
years and is recommended by them as q
capable workman.
Mr.. Carmichael's appointment was a
surprise, to say the least, inasmuch as
Mr. Gibbons was regarded as a very
valuable member of the board, and his
reappointment, in view of his past record
as q commissioner, would have given
entire satisfaction. Regret is heard on
all sides this morning by leading business
men of both parties, that the city loses so
able a public servant, whose entire
familiarity with matters pertaining to
pumps and water machinery was OF
peculiar value to the commission.
The appointment of Mr.. Carmichael,
while there is no objection TO him per-
sonally, is regarded more in the light of
purely political move. Its effects cannot
be felt for two years at least, as it is said
both Mr.. Porter and Mr.. Febiger the hold
UNCOVER members are opposed to making
any changes. The positions in the gift
of the commission are Mt present about
equally divided between the two political
parties, excepting that the Republicans
hold the more desirable posts, after that
of the chief engineer.
Mayor Rhoads this morning stated that
he had appointed MIR. Carmichael after
due consideration of the recommends
tions and Endorsements both he and Mr..
Gibbons received from the leading bust
ness men, representatives of large estab-
lishments. The appointment, he stated.
was not due to any clique or faction of
the party, as he fully appreciated the fact
that he owed his election as chief execu-
tive of Wilmington to no set or clique of
men, but to the Democratic party aided
by a very respectable number of Republic
eau voters. He thought Mr.. Carmichael
fully capable of performing the duties OF
the office, as his long service as nachi-
mist in the Harlan q Hollingsworth Com
pany's employ would indicate. Mr.. Glib
bons, the mayor stated, was not an appli-
emit for reappointment and did not want
the place, but William 7. Porter of the
comm :ssion, had assured him that Mr..
ilb.uns would serve if the appointment
were rendered him. r..

MT. McGREaoR, N. Y, July be-
tween o'clock last night and 8 O'Clock
this morning, General Grant, according
to DIR. Douglas, slept about nine hours.
On the same authority the patient slept
profoundly after midnight and during the
curly morning hours. There was little
coughing or effort 20 clear the throat, and
the physician was scarcely called upon
to treat the affected parts during the
night. The minimum of morphine is
being given and that is divided as recently
stated. II the first half of the regular
nightly allowance not only centralizes the
pain, but induces sleep, the second half
is not given. Although five or six
drops of morphine have been given
the patient nightly for many weeks
he has not grown in the least to
crave it and he now regards the anodyne
OUT as means TO an end. In the early
pan of his severe illness General Grants
lowest ebb seemed to be reached nightly
between and o'clock while now if one
period of the "a hours is more depressing
than another it falls between l and 5
o'clock in the afternoon. Such periods
are marked by what the general desig-
mates as stuffy feeling of the
throat and afflicted parts. Last
evening, however, and again this morn
ing the patient remarked u lessened stiff
ness of the tongue. 1t seems more plant
and less heated and tense when efforts are
made to move or use it.
The morning opened cloudy with the
temDerature Mt SEE at the cottage and the
air damp and chilly. The sick man is
spending the morning at ease in his room
without being dressed.

SALISBURY, Nd, June 29.-The Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has given
notice to the shippers of Strawberries
along the line of the railroads in this sec
ton that they will pay IL cents per quart
for berries on the Boston train that were
in the wreck near Middletown, Del, on
June I'd, but will not pay for broken
crates or baskets. On that day heavy
shipment of berries was made from this
station, and on account of the wrecking
of the train those that were not damaged
did not arrive in Boston until the day
after they were due there, and were i'll
such bad condition TINT they sold very
low. Berries sold in Boston ON the day
these should have arrived at % cents.
The growers intended to bring suit to re-
cover damages, but it is thought they will
accept the II cents per quart, and thus
save the trouble and expense of litigation.

THE USUAL sUMMER VACATION.
The Last Sermon by DIR. Wilson
Until September.

The Last Sermon by DIR. Wilson
Until September.
The pulpit of the Unitarian Church
was more deliberately decorated with
flowers Sunday than usual, the occasion
being the last service before the regular
summer closing during the months of
July and August. DIR. Wilson preached
from the text "What Shall Cry?" The
answers to this question as given by the
prophets, by Christ, by Paul, by Luther,
by Wesley, by Charming and others were
clearly traced and contrasted, and Justice,
integrity and retribution shown TO be
common to oil of them. During the
course of his remarks, the speaker pre-
scented strong picture of the position and
influence of the stage, the press and the
pulpit in the civilization of the present
day. The sermon was an excellent expo
sition of the modern liberal thought. In
referring to the close of the church dur
ing the summer weather, and the worship
that should be the natural outcome of the
season, DIR. Wilson very appropriately
quoted
Meath cloistered boughs where every bell that
And tolls It's perfume on the passing air,
Makes Sabbalhs in the il,lds, and ever ringeth
A call TO prayer.
Not to those domes whose crumbling arch and
column
Attest the feebloness Of mort i hand,
But TO those flames most catholic and solemn
Which God has planned.
To that cathedral bOundless as our woF der,
Whose quenchless lamps the sun and moon
supply,
It's choir the wind and waves, Its organ thunder
Its dome the sky.
DR.. Wilson's plans for the summer are
not definitely fixed, but he may take 0
trip to Denver and the Yellowstone.
