Discussion was resumed upon the re-
port of the ''law's delay" prepared by
David Dudley Field and Judge Dillon.
There was some opposition to the report
by Courtlandt Parker of New Jersey. He
opposed il on the ground that it recon-
mended the codifcation of the lawa, and
that it might supersede or supplant
the common law practice. Henry
w. Goonatt of Washington, james
Beedin of Pennsylvania, George II.
Bates Of Delaware, and others placed
themselves in opposition 10 the adoption
of the report. Hon. David Dudley Field
and Judge Dillon defended the report at
great length, declaring that the laws of
this country should be reduced to such q
shape that people may understand and
comprehend them. The report was also
sustained by Mr.. Butler, b. A. Willis. w.
Fl. II. Russell and r.. A. Pryor of New
York; f. j. Semmes of New Orleans /;
O. @. BoDney of Chicago and others. By
a vote of GA to 10 the report was adopted

law itself should be reduced as fur us
possible TO the form of statute"
The association concluded its session
tonight by collation. followed by re-
ception at the Grand Union Hotel.

well for awhile, but about o'clock yes

ALMsHoUsE INTEsTIGATIoN.
The Plan Of Procedure Proposed
The Examination 10 be ThOrOugh.

Ahe examination to be Thorough.
The greatest interest centres upon the
prospective investigation of existing
abuses in the Board of Trustees of the
Poor, and the action the levy court has
taken with view of assisting in the work
meets with approval ON all sides.
The best plan to proceed with the in
vestigation is being discussed and talked
over by all Interested taxpayers. A
member of the board who has assisted in
the work of bringing the investigation
thinks probably that il could be best con-
Quoted by joint committee composed of
members of the levy court and of the
board.
The anti-ring trustees have majority
of one, which is sufficient to secure a
committee fully in harmony with the iden
of making careful and thorough iuyesti-
gntion and placing the blame where il
belongs irrespective of who is affected.
The same can be said of the levy court
and there is every reason to hope for a
perfectly satisfactory result. 1t is pro-
posed to have available all the books, &C.
counts, &C., of the board, and TO give the
committee power to summon the witnesses
required, and have their testimony taken
under oath
The investigation will be conducted
with open doors, and the proceedings
made public through the daily papers. IL
is stated that there is great deal of
uneasiness manifested by some of the
trustees, who are beginning to realize
that the days of the rings triumphs are
numbered.

The residents of the vicinity of Twelfth
and King streets are inpatient to have
the dog pound removed from its present
location. The baying of the captured
animals confined there while awaiting
execution is very annoying, and the more
so when the dispatching OF the unclaimed
brutes is going on. The succession of
pistol shots with the piteous howl of the
dogs, when occasionally the bullet fails to
perform its deadly mission instantly. is
described MS unbearable, and MANY
women residing near by are forced to
close up their house and vacate it While
the work of execution is going on. Many
of those who were within hcnring of the
pistol reports and walls of the dogs on
killing days, have suffered severe nervous
shocks. The unanimous call is for n re-
moval of the pound to some less thickly
populated part of the city or the country.

HIoKM4N,s BRIDGE sonEME.
His Action Condemned ON All Sides
Special Court Session Probable.

The disclosure of the scheme of Levy
Courtman Hickman and his committee 10
build new bridge across the Christiana,
in defiance of the levy courts action, is
the topic of conversation on all sides.
When the job was first disclosed yester-
day week there was disposition to ques-
tion It's authenticity, but the statement of
MIR. Hickman set at rest all doubt ON that
score. Last evening week the matter was
very fully discussed by taxpayers
| of both parties and those in
terested in the bridge question and
not an argument was adduced in mitiga-
tion or justification of the stand the three
members bad taken. The project of it.
self shows perfectly plain that Mr.. Hick-
man has set about to have the bridge at
Third street and there it can go. The in
quiIy was made in various quarters if
nothing could be done TO cbeckmate the
scheme and very many things were sug-
gested probably none of them practicable.
The only possible remedy, it is believed,
will be through the levy court, and there
is feeling that special meeting of the
members should be convened at once and
some action taken TO induce this potent
committee of three to await the action of
the court upon the important matter.
Among other things comingup for con-
demnatiOn was the system OF making ap-
propriations for eaGh hundred in advance
of its expenditure. 1t is argued that no
member can tell what his expenditures
will be. Other reforms are also suggested
in order that the court may not in the
future be 30 completely captured us it has
been by Hickman and his fellow COM
mitteemen, Messrs. Toy and Haman.
The nomination of MIR Hickman as a |
levy courtman il also receiving some con- |
sideration from those who ARE discussing |
the matter, and the statement that he |
owes his place to the potency of the poor |
house ring is freely made. prominent |
Democrat stated last night mo one knows |
the strength of the poor house ring until |
they have met it in factional contest" |
Inquiries are being made by members |
of the levy court, if there is any way to
thwart the Hickman bridge scheme, aud if |
it can be done the project will be killed. If |
possible court will probably take some
action at an early date, if not there is
likelihood of an application being made
for IN injunction if the matter can
be squelched by this means.
There is feeling, however, that
Hickman's arbitrary action cannot be
successfully coped with by the court, and |
it is likely that the Wilmington member
and his two committee men will |
prove themselves "bigger" than the other
eight members.

Some Telegraph Dots.


For corporation which the veracious
Gould declares is losing $50, 1000 n month
the Baltimore q Ohio Telegraph Com.
pany displays exceeding hardihood and
temerity. II is extending its system as
rapidly as possible, probably with the in.
tention OF increasing its losses. The con.
tract for stretching its wires to Little
Rock and the Hot Springs, in Arkansas,
was entered into yesterday. When Con-
gress meets. the monopoly of advantage
which Mr.. Gould's western roads have in
violation of law extended to Mr.. Gould's
telegraph company will doubtless be
brought to an end by the compulsory ex-
tension of like privileges to competing
companies. The Baltimore company will
then doubtless push forward its lines to
the Pacific coast.

A strange cn,,le Disease.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 2O.-A strange
malady has broken out among cattle, par
ticularly milch COWS, in the neighborhood
Just north of the Union stock yards and
extending to the Bridgeport slaughter
houses in the southwestern part of the
city. The disease appears to be in all
cases fatal. It is thought the afflicted
cattle show symptoms of Texas fever.
When the spleen is examined after death
it is found swollen to three times its
natural size. The disease is supposed to
have been communicated by passing
herds of Texas cattle.

Yesterday was the last day OF this
memorable feast of tabernacles. The
crowds present ut each service were neprlv
equal to those of Sunday. The eariv
morning prayer service was led bv DrS
John Simms. The 8 o'clock meeting wis
conducted by Asbury Burke Of Whining
ton. AT 10 o'clock the Rev. B. II. Price
Of Madeley Chapel delivered an able ssr
mon on future punishment His text
was Matthew XIV, 46: "And these shah
go away into everlasting punishment. buf
the righteous into life eternal p, Mr..
Murray followed in an earnest and forci-
bic exhortation.
The children's service was varied and
interesting. Addresses were made by
Mrs. Taggart, W. W. Sharp, A. Dolbow
and others, closing with q children's
expenence meeting
The afternoon sermon was preached by
the Rev. William Rink of Mt Hope,
Philadelphia Conference. His text was
Acts, VII, 30; "Then Philip opened his
mouth and began to preach unto him
Jesus" Mr.. Prettyman followed in Mn
exhortation.
The $50 O'Clock meeting was general
experience meeting, led by MIR. Murray.
Numerous testimonials, short, l,ithy and
pointed, were given in quick successions.
The vast SEA of upturned faces last
night was an inspiring sight. Every
available space in the large auditorium
and throughout the entire circle was occu-
pied to hear the Rev. f. l.. Hubbard of
Brandywine preach. He took for his
text the words found in the book of Num-
hp1 ~ Al. ..a4 \
go back to Egypt" This was one of the
prayer service which followed was
freighted with wonderful baptisms from
the Most High, and it was near midnight
when the last cadences of earthly song
were hushed to sweet repose.
The closing services were held this
morning at $50 o'clock. Prayers, songs
of praise and testimonies formed the pro
gramme. There was no marching around
Before o'clock this morning many had
struck their tents and had gone. To-day
all is hustle and confusion, and by to-
night the city in the woods will be en-
tirely deserted. Thus closes the first de-
cade in the history of Brandywine Sum
init camp meeting, and the second year
under its present management. Great
credit is due every member of the board
of managers and trustees for nobly stand
ing at their post of duty and providing
for the necessities of the people.
NOTES.
Some new features will be added by
another year.
Some who have been attending various
camp meetings for nearly so years past,
do not hesitate to say this was the best
camp they ever attended.
There were in all over so conversions
during the continuance of the camp.

Appalling Impudonce.
Wilmln Utoniuu

Since the day this city of Wilmington
received its charter as municipal body,
there has not appeared revelation of
such unique assurance, high handedness,
or appalling impudence in the career of
any official as revealed in the incident of
Levy Courtman Hickman giving out con-
tracts looking to the construction of a
$60,000 bridge! OF course his resigna-
tion must be Immediately called for But
that is n minor matter. The whole city
is struck dumb with the audacity of the
man. The story comes upon us with
cyclonic effect.
