oueer Camp nfeetInr.

Some coiored people Of this city are
holding camp meeting in the woods
below Lancaster avenue on Union street.
These meetings instead OF being OF
religious character are grossly
immoral While some Of the people are
no doubt interested in the meeting solely
for its religious benefit, most Of them who
congregate there are colored "chippiesH
and young men. These do not 60 TO
the camp until about 0 o'clock at night
and they then proceed to their enjoys
ments. They sing all sorts Of songs
which are not found In hymn books and
commit acts Of the grossest immortality.
The older people, who are attending to
the religious part OF the meeting, know
nothing OF these orgies which
are being committed around them,
The parties which 20 there, do not re-
turt soYntiiInes until the early morning
and they then amuse themselves i5y sing,
ing at the top OF their voices, thus
allowing no sleep to those persons W hose
houses they pass.

A TERRIFIC STORM.
Atlantic City Excnrsionists Frigh tened
by Wind and Rain.

Atlantic City Excursionists Frigh tened
by Wind and Rain.
Yesterday morning brought no relief
TO the victims of the oppressive heat in
this city. The thermometer stood S5 de.
grees at o'clock a. m, and rose steadily
to 92 degrees at noon. People on all
sides were heard exclaiming ut is hot, .
Eyes, it is hot Those who were never
known TO agree with their neighbors
on any subject, admitted that it was hot.
Not breath Of air could be had to give
relief to suffering humanity, and the
sweltering masses believed their bodies
would never return to normal condi-
tion.
Last evening clouds began to collect
IN the West and there was evry appear.
ance OF heavy rains People grew glad
they would almost welcome an earth
quake, did it relieve them from the heat.
The air was charged with electricity and
at 7 o'clock flashes began to shoot
across the heavens, the thunder pealed
and the rain came down in torrents. This
had the effect of cooling the atmosphere
and people went to bed expecting to rest
quietly for the night
Clouds to day hoat along the sky, and
a brisk wind has brought relief from the
uncomfortable heat of the past few days.
The storm which drove away the heat
was very violent Many Wilmingtonians
we're spending the day at Pennsgrove on
the excursion of the Sunday school of
The Church of the Redeemer. Most of
these wished to return on the boat which
left Pennsgrove at 80 o'clock.
There were about 500 people there
who wished to crowd aboard the boat,
but Captain Bloomsbury showed his
good sense by pushing of from the
wharf when 375 persons had got on.
The women on board were even then
very much scared and thought the boat
would sink until their fears were calmed.
The wind was very high and the river
was rough, but the Christina brought the
excursionists safely TO this city. The
next boat load became very wet, but ar
rived safely.
The Phil Sheridan Post excursionists
from this CITY to Atlantic City were
caught in the storm when about ten
miles below Pennsgrove. N ]. The rain
was so violent that it beat through the
car windows and the ventilators.
People had to put up their umbrellas to
keep themselves from becoming wet
Many of them were frightened by the
terrifying lightning flashes and the
swaying of the cars, which threatened
every moment to be derailed through
the force Of the wind To make the
fright worse the lights in the cars were
extinguished oy the wind and the dark
ness was intense except when broken by
the vivid flashes Of lightning
Another source Of danger lay In the
fact that the high wind had blown down
the telegraph poles all along the road,
and the train had 10 ,nove slowly To
avoid being derailed by them.
The storm was a terrific one. but it
lasted but a short time, and was not felt
much in this city.

The indications are that the offer OF
Thomas N. Ogle to give lot in South
Wilmington for an old mems home, will
not be accepted. A man who is inter
ested in the establishment Of such an in
stitution said this morning. 1T was
very kind in Mr.. Ogle to offer the lot.
and understand that it was the largest
he had TO give. To establish an old

require plot containing several acres,
30 that there would be room for exercise.
a building and ground for such bene-
fetal institution would cost $50, 600.

The money is for the support Of a

screamed and the man caught hold of

good his escape through the win

window opens upon an adjoining one
story building and access was easy. The
family was much alarmed and Miss Har.
