the Clayton House Tuesday afternoon.
DIR. L. M. Cloak of Smyrna was called
to the chair. The meeting was orig
inally called for the purpose
of raising n fund to supplement
the salary offered the president of
Delaware College by the board of trus-
tees, but since DIR. Caldwell was a candi-
date for the presidency and accepted the
position on the terms offered by the trus
tees no action was taken on the question.
The action of the trustees in selecting DIR.
Caldwell was warmly endorsed and the
hearty support of the association pledged
the new president.
The following was introduced as reso-
luton and after much discussion passed
We regret that the failure of the board Of
trustees of Delaware College to cooperate
heartily with this meeting has rendered II
null as regards its original purpose, and has
perhaps delayed the time when the college
shall receive substantial aid from its alumni
association. ..... .--..

MARY ID. SHAW DEAD.
Ono of the HnseparabIe Sisters Dies
i'm N Foreign Land.


News has been received in Wilmington
of the death, at Newport, Isle of Wight,
in the English Channel, on June 9th, of
Miss Mary Draper Shaw, one of the in
separable sisters who had been known to
residents of this city for many years as
''the Shaw girls They looked alike,
dressed alike and were always seen
together. They went abroad some months
ago for the benefit of Miss Mary's health.
The deceased was So years old. Report
says that her remains We're inferred where
she died.
The father of the Shaw sisters carried
on carpet weaving in Wilmington many
years ago. Originally there were three
sisters, but one of them died early in life.
The deceased and her surviving sister,
Miss Sadie d. Shaw, after their fathers
death, carried on tailoring, and being
excellent workwomen, got good prices
for their labor. By their thrift they sooI
began TO accumulate property and al
length, growing independent Of manual
labor, turned their attention to medicine
and were graduated in due course as ply
sicians, by the Hygeia- Therapeutic Col
lege of New York.
They resided at one time at No. GIG
Market street and afterwards on Sixth
street near Orange. Among the real
estate credited to them are three dwell
ings and a stable on the west side of
Orange street near Sixth.
In his childhood A. ii. Weld, who ran
for Congress on the Greenback ticket
some four years ago, was adopted by the
Misses Shaw as their brother. After his
marriage, about 1870, the sisters estab-
lished Mr.. Weld and his young bride on
farm in Brandywine hundred and made
their home there also for some time.
Years ago the Misses Shaw had tomb
stone erected in their burial lot, in the
Wilmington and Brandywine cemetery,
inscribed with their names, the dates of
their birth and blanks left for the dates of
their death, followed by the text "They
were lovely in their lives, and in their
death they were not divided"

A dispatch from Auburn, N. Y, on
Sunday, says: Douglass Beardsley, a
foppish young coal merchant, has for
over year been the devoted admirer of
Miss Mary Augusta Chedell, tall, slen-
der, graceful maiden of nineteen sum-
mers, and sos, 900 in her own right. This
money she inherited as her share of her
late fathers estate, and the possession of
that fortune aud her fair self by the inn
poverished but sentimental Beardsley
was strongly opposed by Charles Smith,
her mothers second husband.
Beardsley was forbidden the house but
the two met clandestinely until discovered
when the girl was locked up in her room
and dog brought to keep the lover off.
Mary, however, escaped through window
with the aid of a rope assisted by the
ardent Douglass who won the dog with a
pork chop.
The fugitives escaped to the house of
H. W. Beardsley, brother of Douglass,
where relatives of both the young people
were quickly gathered from neighboring
residences, and with the aid of an Episcopal
clergyman the hymeneal knot was on the
point of being tied.
Smith and Miss Chedells' brother APP
peared upon the scene, gained admission,
raised general fight, were whipped and
carried out when the ceremony was con-
tinued and the knot securely tied. The
Beardsley referred to as the brother is
presumably the late manager of the Viii
mington Roller Rink.

NEWARK, July 13-At meeting of the
board of trustees Of Newark Academy
held here last week the resignation of the
Principal, the Rev. ]. L. Polk, was
accepted and steps were taken to i'm
mediately fill the vacancy by the appoint
ment of special committee who are
authorized to solicit applications for the
principalship. The Rev. Mr.. Polk has
accepted a call to Fagg's Manor, Chester
county, Pa, to become the prstor OF the
Presbyterian Church at that place.
The trustees, il is understood, Will take
some decisive action toward the exclusion
hereafter OF Juveniles from the institution.
Under DIR. Folks administration the
school has necessarily deteriorated, owing
TO the regular admission of mere children.
The school formerly enjoyed unusual pros
perity, deriving its revenue from the
tuition of older and more advanced
students of both sexes, generally averag-
ING about IS years of age, but the average
ace of students has now fallen to about
The trustees have only recently recogn-
lied the incompatibility of the co-educa-
ton of Juveniles and young ladies and
gentlemen, and at their next meeting they
will rectify this little inconsistency by in
sorting in the laws an age limit which
will preclude the entrance OF pupils pre-
sumably under the age of IA years. This
proyiso will effectually remove the ex-
listing evil and eventually bring to the
oldest institution of learning in the State
we'll earned reward. Applications may
be addressed to George Kerr, Esq, New

Philip Ryan, who died at the almshouse
Monday, for many years was entrusted
with the care of the mems department of
the insane asylum. About two years ago
one of the inmates attacked Philip and
by quick movement knocked out one of
his eyes. Latterly the remaining eye has
been affected and Ryan nearly blind and
worn out with age and service was to
have been offered retirement and i'm
munity from service for the remainder of
his life at the almshouse. On Friday he
came to this city to have his eye treated,
when he fell in with some friends and
landed in the station house in an intoxi-
Gated condition. His debauch, it is said,
brought ON paralysis from which he died,
after he had been taken to the almshouse.

Work ON the SchuylkiII Bridge 10
Begin This Week.


Begin This Week.
The Philadelphia Times says: The
work of extending the tracks of the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad into the city is
progressing very slowly. Several hundred
men are at work grading the road in the
Neck, but no extensive operations have
been begun yet. The only contract
awarded so far has been for the construc'
ton of the bridge across the Schuylkill.
Work will be begun on the structure this
week and three vessels loaded with lumber
were discharging their cargoes below
Gray's Ferry bridge yesterday. The
lumber will be used in building the
caisson, for which 1900, 900 feet will be
required. The bridge will be of iron,
resting on granite piers and will be 25
feet above the water. .....5
"About the only work being done now
on the new road" said Joseph d. Ellis
yesterday, sis office work. About 40
men are employed at this work and we
are rapidly getting everything in shape
for active operations, which will be begun
within the next week or two. All of the
contracts for construction will probably
be given out this week. 1t is impossible
to estimate with any degree of accuracy
the number of men who will be employed
in the work of construction, but there
will be several thousand. F. A. Church
man, James G. Caulley and II. S. Hughes, as
owners of tug-boats, whose business, ii is
alleged, will be enterfered with by the
erection of the proposed railroad bridge
filed bill in equity in common pleas
court, No. 2, yesterday, asking for an in
junction to restrain the Baltimore Il Phil
adelphia and the Schuylkill River East
Side Railroad Companies from construct
ing the bridge across the Schuylkill. The
complainants aver that the ordinance OF
councils granting the right of way
through the city is Invalid, because it con
travenes the act of assembly which for
bids the passage by councils of any ordi
nance containing provisions which are
not expressed by its title.

Health. He is also urging the physicians
throughout the State to make returns to

ance of making returns, so thntn full and
complete report can be published of vital
statistics in this State.
