majority of the votes was declared
elected.
Next came the nomination for
sheriff, when somebody arose and
quietly named Il. NJ. Crolsan, the
present efficient incumbent, and
there was such cheerful feelings ex-
hiblted as foreshadowed the result.
Somebody moved 10 make the
nomination unanimously by ac-
clamation and the motion went
through with such a unanimous
yell as was terrible warning TO
any democratic asplrants who might
be present.
The same happy result was had
In the nomination of county clerk,
when Capt. +. j. Dabcock was
nominated In the widest enthusi-
asm, by acclamation.
Upon the question OF county re-
corder there was not such unanim-
ity, the call for nominations bring

NEw CASTLE, June 3.-Lieutenant James
L Booth OF Company II, besides being an
efficient military officer has proved himself
to be pugillstio exponent OF no mean
ability. Yesterday afternoon Booth In
company with several other gentlemen and
two ladies' were playing croquet on the
public green. There was number of
spectators, among them two prominent
young men from Wilmington. For some
unknown reason one of the young men W o
protessed TO ha Il general athlete, passed
some insulting remark about Booth. At
first the latter paid no attention 10 the
yonng mans remarks, thinking he WAS
under the infiusnce OF liquor; but 1t was
nftsrward learned that he WAS not. This
enrag II the Wilmington man aud he began
TO abuse Booth Ia most disgracefnl man
ner. The latter advised the young man
TINT L. would be best for him to cease his
talk Immediately. whereupon he challenged
Booth TO flght with the "bare knuckles."
| The two, accompanied by large crowd Of
mon and boys, proceeded to the Battery.
| The battle then began. and In a short time
/ tha Wilmington man was "dons up"
Booth threw him down flve,foot emhluk-
| ment, and when the balligerent left for
home he presented a pitiable sight.

most skilfully cultivated orchards, hardly
n peach can be found, down on the bay
shore, near Woodlan dBench, stands peach
orchard the tress in which are loaded down
with finely DEVELOPED fruit. Tho most
singular thing about this, IN the estima-

the best sheltered orchards, those sur
rounded entirely by woods, all the fruit
was destroyed by the March storms, the
fruit of this particular orchard, unsheltered
and In every way exposed, has lived and
thrived. The orchard contains trees OF

confined 10 a cell In tbs northeast corner

as shall be designated by tine governor IN

Although no steps have been taken. Yet 1t

have the sentence committed. The con.
demued man is completely overcome now
that he is brought face to IA ca with death,
and spends much OF his time In bewniliug

sing and pray over him. He expresses deep
oontrltion for his crime, and says hs did

byterIau DiStise ia Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, Nm, june 2.--Tne Rev. DR..
Joseph L. Smith, pastor of the Central
Presbyterian Church, gave to his congre-
cation report on the results OF the Gen.
eral Presby terv at Saratoga with interesting
comments. p". SmIth is, perhaps, tho most
prominent Presbyterian minister here; was
for long time moderator. and also pre-
sided over he International Presbyterian
Assembly L. England. After sketchlng the
work done IN reference to revision and the
committee work bearing upon church
union, DIR. Smith said:
"To the superficial observer there are no
two churches wider apart than the Presoy-
terrain and Episcopal. When you look below
all the Rspetities, aienstlons aud miss
understandings you will find that there are
no two SO nearly one In their fundamental
principles, We are of the same rncs and
lineage; the symbols OF faith are the same ;
the order and policy are the same in essen
tiai principles. These latter accommodations
that have gathered around the church do
not belong to 1t. They are more excres-
cences.
"Historically we know that Calvin and
Cramer were one. The office of bishop is so
limited by canons, committees and conven-
tions tnat he has little more power than our
own moderator or missionary superiaten-
tendent. There Is nothing to prevent
hearty, earnest and practical church unity.
A Visible uuion will surely come. II may be
| far In the distance but the preiudices and
denominations OF centuries viii! Oe In the
end swept away. The proposei confedera-
ton OF churches will come a. sure rs God Is
God, and Christ is his Chosen Que. The
| General Assembly has sanctioned IL.
"The Idea Is that ali caurehes retaining
the UNCONVENTIONAL differences shall b.
united in legislative federation on the
same plan as the states are represented IL
Congress. This soems destined TO decide
Individuals can be free but yet aaited."
Bishop Patet Oh thu Episcopal church,
said to-day: "Ihsre are no prospects u
any definite action In the direction OF the
union referred TO by DE-. Santa without
great delay. Much is yet tc ov und9rstoo,
and explained. Should the Presbyterian
and Episcopal churches unite there would
bn no organic action probable on the par
OF either and that the two, us an organized
body. will formally unite, nobodY dares I,
expect. The Pros l. 4 tetians have, 1t is true
given their entire assent TO the four thing
suggested by tho Episcopaiinns as beint
beyond comprehensive Integrity OF thu
Scripture, tho Nieeae Greed, the two aacra
ments, baptism and the Lords Supper, tn
Only point of divergence being the nistor.
