The Wilmington shsd fishermen are
preparing to go down the bay on Monday
next. There are Is or 90 shad boats that
go from here and they will mostly go in a
body to the same destination, the mouth
of Smyrna creek, whence they will work
their way up with the advancing spring.
The mild open winter is expected to
make the shad more plentiful than for
several years past and the warm spring.
like weather has had the effect of bring
ing them up the bay about two weeks
earlier than usual Delaware shad was
caught in Salem Cove the other day. At
the present time the local market is being
supplied with North Carolina shad.
They are scarce and even though smaller
than the Delaware variety, they readily
bring from 40 to 10 cents for meits and as
high as 81 for roe shad.

Edward nncInaIi A bandons the Case
ARalnAt lats WIG.


Last SuudAy's Philadelphia Press says
Upon application of Counsellor Joseph
A. Bonham to Judges Finlettsr, Heed
and Gordon, the divorce suit of Mr.. Ed
ward McInall against his wife, Mrs. Laura
Ridgway McInall, began In March, 1886,
was discontinued.
The ground upon which the divorce
was asked for was that of desertion.
Although the libel for divorce was not
filed until 1885, Mr.. ard Mrs. McInall
have been separated for longer time.
The agreement OF separation was mutual,
snd among the articles was one by which
Mr.. MoIrall agreed to pay $3.50
per month for the support OF his wife
and child. Upon the death of his father
Mr.. MoInall inherited fortune variously
estimated at from S2O0, 900 to 1856, 600.
He removed to this city and entered upon
q career of speculation ON Third street,
which was stopped in time to save about
$4,000 of his fortune.
The suit for divorce lay dormant for
years and the payments of $3.50 per
month to Mrs. MoInaIl were kept up un-
til last May. When McInall then began
to push his divorce suit he stopped pay
ment OF money under the agreement. and
was ruled" into court TO pay alimony.
The smount OF alimony was fixed by the
court at $40 per week. This, too, re-
manned unpaid until Lawyer William q.
johnson, counsel for Mrs. McInAll, asked
for an attachment against the husband
tor contempt of court.
This application for an attapchment
was down for argument before the court
yesterday, when it was met by the ooun.
ter application of Mr.. Mcinall to be
allowed TO discontinue the suit. The dis
Continuance was allowed upon the pay
ment by Mr.. McInall OF all of the arrears
OF aliIlony.

gave hot pursuit, coming up with them
in the highway about half way between

and Portuguese, being desperadoes, threat
enad to fight. Captain Steelman then
forcibly took from them their luggage,
assisted by his smate. The sailors had
abandoned their boat and refused TO

them or take them back without wer-
rant. Captain steelman, leaving the
mate to hold the captured luggage, pro-
ceeded to st. Georges and calling Justice

some delay the necessary warrant, bnt

having fled. Vigorous search failed to

Atthe meeting of the stockholders Of
The Wilmington City Passenger Railway
company, Saturday afternoon, the di.
rectols were instructed to commence con.
struction Of the new Eighth street line.
The new line will extend from Market
street to Union with such extensions as
circumstances may permit. The cost OF
the work as present contemplated is
&3S,000. The books for subscription to
stock are now open at Heald & Company'a
Office.
The assertions published on Monday
In regard TO the City Passenger Railway
Company being opposed to the oonstruc-
tion Of the new road or being in antag-
onism with the new company which re.
Gently obtained charter for the same
undertaking is without any foundation.
The project of an Eighth street rail-
way was incepted by members of the City
Passenger Railway Company, and the
apparent hesitation OF that company in
the prosecution of the undertaking has
been due entirelyto the fact that progresa
In the matter could not be definitely
made until the practical feasibility OF
electric power as road motor had
been demonstrated to the satisfaction Of
the managers. II must be remem bered
that electric power ia the only motor
power available on the new road. The
suggestion Of cable road is absurd in
regard to the pecuniary expenditure which
would be necessary, and it has been
ahown that horse power would also be far
too expensive. l. is only within the last
month or two that the managers of the
City Passenger Railway Company have
been finally assured as TO the practiea.

action OF Saturday last is the outcome Of
It.
In addition there could be no hurried

construction involves q very large expen-
diture, as the company has heavy ex-
penses in visw this season in extensions
and alterations. 1t is we'll understood that

In reference TO the assertion thsS pro-

the answer is made that it would be im-

The expenditure would eneulph half the
