pacing along over baking hot brick pave

But those who were SO fortunate as to leave
the city for protection from old Soils burn

West Haven shore. All day long CROWDS
kept pouring down to this favorite resort to
find the relief that was given by stin
breeze blowing in from the southeast. 1t
was refreshing, too, at times being, strange

that one old gentleman caught a cold in his
ear from which violent attack OF earaohe
was the result. Railroad grove was the
scene of great activity all day long, being
taxed at times to its utmost capacity. Hun

of old father Neptune. There were ovel
twenty guests that came yesterday to register
at the Sea View house from Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and other places.

Rev. Meryin j. Eckels Accepts Cali to
Bradford, Pa.

fA%AA~Aa4 &
Rev Merwin j. E ckels pastor of the
Wicomico Presby terian church, Salisbury,
Md, has accepted a call to the First
Presbyterian church of Bradford. Pa.
Mr.. Eckels is we'll known and very
popular in Wilmington, where he has
often preached and many will regret that
his removal to another presbytery will
prevent his voice being often heard in
Wilmington pulpits. He went to Sails
bury from Havre-de Grace, Md. In 1885
and under his pastorate the Wicomico
church has been usually prosperous. 1t
was rebuilt early last year Mr. Eckels
announced his decision TO his congrega-
tion last evening He is much loved and
respected in Salisbury and his removal
Is sincerely and universally regretted
In 1888 Mr.. Eckels was unanimously
called to the pulpit of Central Presbyte-
rian Church, this city. Although much
pressure was brought to bear upon him
to accept he declined, because he felt that
his work in Salisbury was not completed.
After the declination the work of rebuild
ing Salisbury church was commenced.
Bradford IS the metropolis of the oil
region and is growing city of about
49, 600 inhabitants. The First Presley
terrain Church is one Of the largest ia the
city and has prosperous and influential
congregation. Mr.. Eckels will receive a
salary of So, 500 year and a parsonage.
The call was almost unanimous and was
made so
Mr. Eckels win leave Salisbury about
February l. A special meeting OF Pres
bytery will be held in the interim, at
which Mr. Eckels win apply for dismissal
to the Bradford church.

THE FaoLIosoMg NoRTH wINo.


He Blows Down Fences, Makes High
Tide and Has q Merry Time Generally.
The wind came out Of the northwest
last night where he has been lingering,
and paid this city visit Just to remind
It's citizens, perhaps that he had not gone
out of business He brought with him
just enough frigidity to brace the people
up and conferred on them an uuesiimable
favor hY drying up the mirerabe Sop and
mud with which the streets have been
flooded for the past week.
He whirled off the hats Of pedestrians
last night and blew down a great number
of fences The guard posts on the south
side Of Third street bridge was blown
down and the post smashed the light at
that place in the fall seidel and Hast
ing's fence was overturned by the friaky
old fellow and the large bin board on
Fourth street, between jackson and
Adams streets completely covered the
sidewalk this morning
The most eccentric and perhaps excu-
sable freak of Old Boreas was the rough
WY in which he used the Christiana
creek. The old fellow was evidently
angry at seeing Third street bridge still
in an unfinished condition, and putting
his shoulders against the waters Of the
stream, seemed determined to push the
river ont of its bed and to make the bed
of the stream dry land. In this scheme
he was almost successful, as he brought
about the lowest tide that has been seen
in the Christiana for years.
The crew Of the steamer Wilmington
could only coal her by rigging a series Of
three scaffolds. and that a fun hour after
flood tide. Men Of years experience
along the river say it was the lowest tide
they have seen for years

mally opened last evening. Bishop Cole

Miss Currinder sang two solos, my Re-
deemer and My Lord" and Just as /
Am" The duet was "The King Of Love
My Shepherd Is.
The organ gave satisfaction, for al
though necessarily small its volume was
full and the tone pure. 1t responded
perfectly to the sympathetic touch OF
Mr.. Craig. The organ has two sets of
keys, and the pipes are Of wood and
metal. The case Is OF ash, in hard oil
finish. The various tones are well regu-
lated and speak well for Mr.. Browns
workmanship. Bishop Coleman made a
few remarks of congratulation and thanks
to the builder, and TO those who assisted
in the evenings exercises The collec.
tion was for the organ fund.
