WE are indebted to Rev. J. B. Quigg
for large sized map or chart of the
Methodist churches within the bounds
of Wilmington Conference. To do
this it requires the outlines of not only
Delaware but the Eastern Shores of
Maryland and Virginia with the water
lines and numerous islands of the
Chesapeake Bay. The name and loca-
tiOn of each church in town or county
is given. This is another evidence of
Rev. Mr.. Quigg's industry in the line
of church enterprise in thus delineating
the OutpOsts of ministerial work.

Monday morning Bishop Coleman
laid the cornerstone of what is to be
known as Trinity Chapel, at Clayton.
He was assisted in the services by the
Rev. G. w. Dame Of Smyrna, and the
Rev. L. w. Gibson, OF Dover. There
were a number of persons present and
much interest was manifested in
the interesting proceedings. The
music was well rendered by the regu-
lar choir, reinforced by few voices
from Smyrna. After the ceremony
Bishop Coleman and the other clergy
visitors were Hospitality entertained by
Mr.. and Mrs. 1. N. Mills. It is hoped
that the church will be ready for con
secration by the beginning OF the new
year. .
The chapel Is to be neat structure
ON stone foundation, with seating
capacity of about 100.

ABOUT year ago we gave an ac-
count OF the excitement caused among
certain farmers in ThOrOughfare Neck
by maddOg that went there from
Clayton and bit several of their cattle.
two or three of whi ch in a short time
took the hpdrophobia and had to be
shot. Among the farmers thus visi-
ted was David Severson. One of his
cows went mad last week, exhibiting
all signs of hydrophobia the others had
done, and had to be killed, and as
there has been no dog known to have
the rabies in that vicinity since. it ia
fair to presume that the animal had
been carrying the virus in its blood all
these months.
Potato ROT.-Ata a recent meetino
of the County Board of Agriculture
Salem County N. j., Prof. Smith. the
State EntOmologist, gave quite a
lengthy talk on the rot in potatoes.
He said It was not caused altogether
by the rot in the stems, as some sun
posed it came from the leaves, too,
and where the leaves dropped on the
ground the potatoes were sure to be
affected. He said that he did not look
for the disease to be lOng.lived--that
another season might find it gone alto,
Sether. He advised early gathering
of the potatoes, which would save the
crop. Prof. Smith also talked of the
"yellows" in peaches. He said the
trees hereabouts were not affected with
true yellOws. The trouble was caused
by lice on the roots of the trees, and h'
exhibited specimens of the lice. HI
advised the liberal use Of kainit as /
remedy.

The Sunday Star of Wilmington has
shown a marked journalistic progress
the past week, by changing from a To-
lilo to quartO sheet, thus giving it
more room where it has been cramped
for space, while the Office has been
further equipped for work by the ad-
ditiOn of new Webb Perfecting Press
The Star shines as an independent ra-
ther than a party paper, and has a
strong hold on the people of Whining
ton as one of their established enter
prises.
Ice is selling at a dollar q ton in
Maine, and a good deal can be had
at that price. 1t is said there is plenty
yet stored there, and that the famine
so often spoken of last season was not
so much of famine as a speculation
after all. Somebody has been bitten,
and doubtless wish they had sooner,
when a good price could have been re-
allied. The establishment of machines
this year almost precludes the possibil-
ity Of another shortage, and prices
doubtless will be lower next year.

The deficiency Appropriation.

WASHINGTON CRY, July l9.--The House
committee on appropriations today re-
ported the deficiency bill. 1t contains sew
eral items of interest to the Northwest, but
the amounts are generally small.
Representative Wilson tried to have in
cluded in the bill appropriations to reim-
burse the state of Washington for expenses
incurred in holding the constitutional con-
vention, but the committee held that it was
improper legislation to general appropri-
alton bill, and did not pass upon the merits
of the claims. The following are items in
the bill: For protecting the salmon fish,
cries of Alaska, 81 500; also 500 for adyer-
tising the proposed lease of the salmon in
dustries in Alaska; to refund to B. A. Sea-
brie, president of the Ilwacco Packing Com
pany, part of fine collected from the COM
pany for a violation of the revenue laws,
SIS; for pay Tor transportation. services
and supplies of Oregon and Washington
volunteers in 1856 and 1856, $225 $50.
Henderson, from the committee on ap-
propriations, today reported to the House
the general deficiency bill. the last of the
regular appropriation bills.

WAsHINGToN CITY, July 19.-The House
judiciary committee listened to an aIgu-
ment by Judge James A. Broadhead, OF
ST. Louis. in opposition to the Senate
bill providing for the application of the
forfeited Mormon church funds to the sup
port of common schools. Judge Broad
heads contention was that the bill was in
violation of the general law respecting the
charities, inasmuch as 1t proposed to divert
from its legitimate purposes moneys SUBJ
scribed in aid of charities connected di-
recily with specific denomination. He
held that although certain of these chari-
ties have been declared illegal. there were
others among those specified, such as the
support of Mormon schools. which could
legally receive funds as property in the
hands OF the receiver. He held that the
passage of the bill WIS unnecessary and
would prejudice the final decision of the

SroKAYE FALLS, July ia shooting
affray occurred in the business office of the
Morning Spokesman at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, in which Patsy MuIligan. of Tacoma,
and Jack Smith, of Australia, were both
shot by Billy Lynn. All the participants
in the affair are pugilists. Muiligan came
to this city two weeks ago, accompanied by
Smith. who is his trainer, to arrange fight
with Jimmy Casey, the well-known local
bantam-weight.
Lastnight Muliigan posted 500 at the Office
OF the Spokesman. Casey covered the money,
and this morning the two principals, with
their trainers, met at the Spokesman office
to arrange the fight. Lynn, who is a mid
dle-weight, was present without invitation,
and in an ugly mood. Hehad been talking
about arranging fight with Mulligan, and
said If there was going TO be any fighting
he wanted some of it. While the pre-
liminaries were being discussed, Lynn, who
was standing behind Mulligan's chair,
said:
''If you fellows are looking for fight.
why don't you fight me?"
Mulligan made some commonplace re-
mark not calculated to offend his ques-
toner. Then Lynn struck him, without
waiting to allow him to defend himself
Mulligan sprang out of the chair, and
drawing his revolver, struck Lynn over the
head with the butt of the weapon.
Lynn was then elected from the room
and it was supposed he had gone away
but he went around the building and
entered by the back door so quietly that no
one in the room noticed him until he lifted
pistol at Mulligan and shot him in the
back. A second shot passed through
Smiths right hand and lodged in
nis knee. Lynn then fed. but was soon
overtaken and captured, and lodged in Jail.
Smith and MulIigan were taken to the
hospital. The ball entered Mulligan's body
through the left shoulder-blade and lodged
in the right lung. His recovery is con-
sidered impossible. Smiths wounds are
not serious.
Patsy Mulligan's real name is Andy
Stripger, and he was raised in Walla Walla.
where his parents now reside. He has en-
gagged in seventeen ring contests, and never
lost battle. He is about 21 years old and
well known in the Sound cities and San
Francisco. Hisguiet, gentlemanly manner
has made him many friends since he came
here, and his pupils are among the wealth.
lest young men in the city.
Jack Smith is an Australian light middle
weight, well known in San Francisco.
Billy Lynn is about SO of age, is an old
time prize-fghter and tough. well known in
Montana, Idaho and Western Washing
ton. He has engaged in many ring
fights, most of which he lost. He came to
this city first last spring, looking for a
match with Jack Dempsey, variety per-
former, and got 1t. Dempsey put him to
sleep in the third round
Lynn had preliminary hearing this
evening, and was committed to jail with
out bonds.

WINDOW CALLS FOR BONDS.
A Large Surplus ON Hand With Which
to Make Purchases.

A Large Surplus ON Hand With Which
to Make Purchases.
WASHINGTON CITY, July 19.-Secretary
Window issued circular this afternoon
stating that on Thursday, July "a, propo-
sails will be received in the Office of the
secretary of the treasury for the sale to
the government of United States bonds of
the acts of July IA, 1870, and January 20.
1871, for the purpose of supplying in part
the requirements of the sinking fund for
the current fiscal year. The circular of
April IL, 1888, under which the daily pur-
chase of bonds has heretofore been made
is rescinded.
In explanation Secretary Window said:
Owing to the recent light offerings of bonds
the surplus had rapidly accumulated until now
there is in round numbers $50, 000 900, exclusive
of $23, coo 600 of fractional silver coin The re-
cent act of congress transferring SIS 600 from
the fund for redemption of national bank notes
makes Q large portion of this fund also avail
able for redemption of bonds. The department
is therefore in posItiont to reach considerable
amount OF the intarestbearing obligations of
the government, ana the advertisement issued
today is simply intended to invite bondholders
to name the price at which they are willing to
sell to the government. The amount taken will
depend upon the price at which they are offered.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Debate on Original Package Law-yhe
Union Pacific Debate.

WASHINGTON CRY, July BIN the
House McCrae of Arkansas introduced a
JOINT resolution directing the secretary of
the interior 10 suspend the issue of patents
for lands to the Union Pacific until the adj
justment of the debt due the United States
from said company. and authorizing the
attorney general to institute such legal pro-
ceedings as may be, in his opinion, neces-
sary to subject the land granted to and
held by said company to payment of the
debt due the United States; referred to the
committee on public lands.
The House resumed consideration of the
original package bill. Thompson of Ohio
said it was contended that the bill would
violate the constitutions, and was an at
tempt to delegate TO a state the same power
conferred upon congress. He did not so
understand it. He regarded it as a simple
regulation of commerce, an exercise OF the
power OF congress to regulate commerce
among the states, and not q delegation of
that power. 1t did not interfere with the
interstate commerce law. but provided that
an article imported into the state, when
offered for sale, should become subject to
the laws of that state.
Lehlbach of New Jersey said that intem-
perance had never been rooted out by leg
islation. From his observations he was
satisfied that intemperance was on the de-
cline. This was largely due to the use of
the milder beverage. beer. and not to pro-
hibitionists and fanatics. However this
was. he believed the substitute proposed
by Adams would meet the requirements.
There was one sure way in which Kansas
and Iowa could get rid of the original pack
age stores, and that was not to patronize
them.
Hayes of Iowa opposed the legislation,
preferring a little liberty to good deal of
sentiment He contended that the pro-
hibitory law of Iowa was not enforced, and
he denied, from observations made on
recent visit to his state, that there were
any original package saloons in Iowa. At
least, he had not seen one nor heard of any
until he returned to Washington City.
Perkins of Kansas believed in the con-
stitutionaiity and propriety of the proposed
legislation. This was not a question of
prohibition or of high or 1ow license. It
was question whether the people in their
state organizations had the right to pro-
tect their homes and families from the un-
licensed, unrestrained and unrestricted
liquor traffic. At present the original
package decision might affect the prohibit
ton states alone, but in time all the states
would be infested by lawless characters,
who kept original package stores. and
license and local option laws would be vio-
lated. There ought not to be vote cast
against the proposed amendment.
After the debate the House took recess,
the evening session to be for debate only.
At the evening session number of brief
addresses were made, and the House at
1890 adjourned.
