ance had been transacted, the meeting
adjourned about o'clock after n six
hours session in which the supply COM
mittee faction of the board was hauled

An Eridemlc Among Fi.h.

A number of dead fish observed floating
upon the surface of the different streams
in this section, notably the Brandywine
and Christiana, has given rise to consider
able inquiry as to the cause of their
death. The dying off is said to be due to
an epidemic attributed to parasite called
by scientists saprolegnia. They attack
the fish, propagating ON them and killing
them by thousands. The saprolegnia are
colorless parasites found attached to
animal or vegetable organisms in water.
They are found especially on dead in
sects, frequently forming dense radiating
tufts. They arise originally from decom-
posing matter, especially animal organism.
They throw off spores in great quantities,
and these are carried about in the cur
rents and attach themselves to the fish,
where they germinate and send of more
spores. They eat into the fish, absorbing
the animal matter of its body.

opponents of the new system of awarding
supplies in the board, and it was known
that some very lavish expenditures OF
money lad been made by member of the

or agreement with any other members of
the committee, very strict calling to
account of the supply committee man
was expected. Trustee Williams Mt the
head Of the committee on accounts, in
spected the bills, and asked for frequent
explanations concerning them, much to
the discontinue of one or two of the
members.
j. Z. Chandler the new member to sue
coed the late Adolphus Husbands was in
attendance upon the meeting and took
part in the proceedings, placing himself
upon record by one or two votes, as an
advocate of much needed reform and
economy in the general policy of the
management of the institution.
The superintendent reported 231 in
mates in the institution, 155 in almshouse
and rs in insane department. During
the quarter 9S were admitted, GS dis

NEW CASTLE, Aug. 1.-About 2.3O
O'Clock yesterday afternoon fire was dis
covered among the straw stacks on the
Model, one of the Commons farms. An
alarm was given, but the FIRE had gained
such headway that the stacks were soon
in blaze In few minutes the flames
were communicated to the barn and
stables and they were soon blazing
liercely. Strong efforts were made to
save the carriage house and the grnnary,
i'm which about 900 bushels of grain
were stored. These buildings were fired
several times by sparks from the barn,
bnt the flames each time were extin-
guished.
At 3.15 o'clock the flames had gained
such headway that it was impossible to
save any of the outbuildings and they
were all soon mass of blazing ruins.
The dwelling house was the only building
ON the place that WINS saved from the
flames. No live stock was lost and all
the wagons, carriages and farm imple-
mi nts were removed to n place of safety.
James Il. Morrison, the tenant of the
farm, loses about 900 bushels of oats, 225
bushels of wheat and his entire hay and
straw crops. The loss Of the buildings
to the Commons Trust is roughly esti-
mated at from 50, 900 to So 800.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but it is supposed by some that n tramp
who had been begging at the house n
short time before the fire was discovered

RnItimore & Ohio Moves.

A Baltimore IL Ohio railroad officer
said Thursday, so the Philadelphia Rec0,d
reports, that surveyors had been set at
work out in Pennsylvania between Phila-
delphia and the Jersey line and in New
Jersey looking for q direct route to New
York. Their looking has thus far been
all that they have accomplished, and
even with the line laid out the problem OF
terminal facilities at Jersey City will be
still unsolved. The Baltimore d Ohio
officers, it is understood, are afraid to
trust to an alliance with the Jersey unless
they have controlling interest in the
stock, and their actions indicate that they
have not yet obtained this.
