during the afternoon and occupied the
pulpit in the evening.
Everything was quiet here, as also ut

to be friendly, yet all honorable means
were used to make votes for the respective
candidates. But one mans vote was
questioned and that needlessly.
Cliildren's day services in Forest Pres

large congregations. The handsome ediiice
was made more beautiful and attractive
by flowers. The music was excellent
throughout the day, and the little ones
won much praise for the fulflment OF
their part of the programme. The pastor,
superintendent and teachers may well be
proud of their school.

In speaking Of the probability of Lewes
being made port Of entry, the Philadel.
phia Ledger says This is right not
for the reason that it is all in Difference to
the claims of the consequential Delaware
pilots, but because United States quar-
antine station has been established there,
and it might happen that cargoes may
have to be landed in that vicinity" The
Ledger strangely misses the main argu-
ment. What the Delaware pilots have 10
do With the matter is not very clear, but
what the Ledger should have known is
that, under a recent order from the Urea
sury Department, vessels cannot lie, MS
heretofore, for an indefinite period
ut the Breakwater awaiting orders
without having first Toyaged NJ
the river as far as THU
city and paid the port dues specified by
law. Under the United States statute
which until quite recently was held il
allegiance so far as the Breakwater wa
concerned, incoming vessels are required
TO report at some port of entry within o
hours and TO pay entry dues within Al
hours. This obliges vessels coming Il
the Breakwater for orders to go to tn
trouble and expense of making trip Il

New WESTMINSTER, Il. O., June TO-
Parties arriving from Vancouver state
that at $50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
the wind rose TO gale and caused fires
which were burning on the Canadian
Pacific railway reserve to spread towarh
the city.
The city of Vancouver, situated at the
Pacific end of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way is in ashes. Not half dozen houses
remain out of 500 and worst Of all there
is large loss of life. Ten bodies have
thus far been recovered and q number of
persons are missing and are supposed to
have persisted. One short hour did the
whole work. The property saved is in
significant. A ''clean sweep" defines the
situation. A thousand men are at work
cleaning up debris for the railroad COM
pany. Twenty contracts for rebuilding
have already been let. Many men lost
their all, but are determined TO start
in again. The property loss falls directly
on the pioneer element of the new city.
Hundreds of people are camped out.
| There are meagre facilities for the relief
of the sufferers, but the people of this
city are especially open handed in their
efforts to relie'e the distress. Prompt aid
from the Canadian Pacific railway is ex-
pected. Families were compelled To
abandon their homes at moments warn
ing and flee for their lives. Business men
in search of valuableB were forced to rush
through flames and smoke or perish.
The whole populace were panic.
stricken. A number of persons sought
refuge in the water. One man was found
in we'll, where he had lowered himself
to escape the flames. Few of the people
have more than the clothes they stand in
Of the ten bodies recovered, only thre,
have been identified. Most of the burned

NEWARK, June "a rather serious
stabbing ARRAY occurred here last evening
on New London avenue, upon which
street lives the colored contingent of the
towns population. II was between two
colored youths named 'Beny" Potter and
Sam Backus, the latter of whom now lar-
cuisines in New Castle Jail as a result of
his brutal act. The two were quarreling
over the ownership of brass ring and
young Potter who was the rightful owner
held II in the his possession. The fight
was fierce but was soon stopped by the
belligerent's mother who drove him igno-
miniously into the house. The young
scamp quickly concealed razor on his
person and ran up behind his opponent
without warning and began to slash re-
gardlessly. But one blow took effect and
that one nearly severed his right arm when
the bystanders quickly separated
them, thereby probably prevented muir.
der by their timely interference. The
assailant, who is about Is years of age
was brought before Justice Vallandighan
and remanded to Jail in default of $500
bail to answer to the charge of assault
with intent to kill, and carrying deadly
weapons. Young Potter is doing well al
present, and the doctors say that witt
| good care he will recover, although the
cut is a very deep and painful one.

Thereport of the New Jersey Fish Com
missioners appeared on Saturday. A large
portion of the book is devoted to shad
fisheries, reviewing the work of the two
years and approximating the catch.
The catch Of 1884 is placed
1,909,9 and that of 1885, at
sos, 1868, a decrease of 100000 fish,
which was accounted for by the fact
that the latter season was very late and
the report of one district was wanting.
The season of 1885 was remarkable for
two things, its lateness and the unusual
size of its shad. Active fishing was de-
layed three weeks longer than usual, and
yet the fishermen closed the season with
better balance in their favor than they
did the previous year.
