CAMP BREAhS.
Concluding Service Last Friday--Inci-
dents of the Last Hours.

Special Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
BRANDYwINE SUMMIT, Aug. a.
Tenters arose early this morning and
the work of dismantling tents began i'm
mediately and progressed rapidly. Dur
ing the entire forenoon large quantities
of furniture were heaped in all the ave-
nues. Everybody was busily engaged
in preparing for departure. Many cart
loads of goods were removed, but owing
to a scarcity of teams the work of re-
moval will be prolonged until night.
The closing service began at $50
o'clock and continued upwards of an
hour. A large congregation was in at
tendance. Following the opening hymn,
90 For a Thousand Tongues prayer
was offered by Louis Todd. Next the
Rev. l.. E. Barrett read the 18th chapter
of st. John, after which there were adj
dresses by Mr.. Barrett, the Revs. j. Il.
Van Burkalow, W; E. Tomkinson, A.
p. Prettymen, George E. Wood,
Presiding Elder Murray, Father"
Hance, William ii. Foulk, Arthur
Powell and two others, the sentiment
of which was that the camp season was
q success spiritually and socially and
that while the manifest good accom-
plished did not reach expectation many
Christians were strengthened and a
greater manifestation might be had
later.
The addresses were interspersed with
singing, and at their conclusion, a pro-
cession, extending three-fourths around
the "circle," was formed and the gather
ing marched in couples around the
auditorium twice, singing as it went
I've Anchored My Soul in the Haven
of Rest" and "We're Marching to Zion. ;"
The procession was led by George w.
Booker and the Rev. Mark d. Bowman.
When the march was completed the
ministers proceeded to the platform
steps and shook hands with the multi
tude, after which there was general
handshaking and exchange of adieus.
This required considerable time, and
while it was in progress the gathering
sang "There's Land of Pure Delight" !"
"I'll be There, "In the Sweet Bye and
Bye" and "Blest be the Tie That Binds" "
Among the participants there were faces
wet with tears and wreathed with
smiles.
After pronouncing the benediction
Mr., Barrett declared the camp meeting
of this season to be ended, following
which the throng sang "God be with
you till we meet again" When the
gathering dispersed those who desired
to depart Immediately, and there were
many of them, rushed for hacks about
to start for Wilmington and Granogue
Those who remained and were at leisure
promenaded the avenues or assembled al
the confectionery store, where the antics
of colored man, who was eating ice
cream and surrounded by swarm OF
bees, amused many lookers-on. Much
amusement was also obtained by watch
ing throng clamoring for soft drinks
while an attendant was endeavoring tc
persuade the crowd to buy the remain
ing stock Of sweetmeats at an extremely
low price.
The conversions during the camp sea
son numbered 10.
At noon large quantity of lumber
was sold at auction by William j. Lank

RAILROAD SUITS.
A Move to Compel Subscribers to Stock to
Make Their Subscriptions Good.

CAMBRIDGE, MD, Aug. 13.-The Bal.
timore & Eastern Shore Railroad Com
pany, by Graham & Stanford of Sails
bury, its attorneys, on Wednesday en-
tered separate suits in the Dorchester
circuit court against each of the follow
ing citizens of Dorchester county W..
j. Woolen, Albert Webb, Isaiah Reed,
Otis p. Thompson, John Corkran, Allen
Il. Bradley, DIR. S. S. Ewell, A. j. Reed,
j. w. Smith, NJ. ]. T. Smith, Judge
George a. Thompson, Thomas A. Noble,
G. L. Ralph, Arthur Hitch and Thomas
Higgins & Sons. The suits are by fittings
only and no declarations have yet been
filed, but attorneys of some of the de-
PENDANTS say that they are brought TO
recover the subscriptions of the above
named parties to the stock of the rail-
road company before it was built.
The defence in most of the suits will
be that the stock was taken with the un-
derstanding and promise on the part Of
the promoters of the enterprise that the
road should run through certain sections
and touch certain places, but that after
the stock was taken the roads course
was changed. As the road is now in the
hands of receiver it will be quite a
hardship if the citizens named are COM
PEELED to pay the amount of their sub
scriptions in full. They are all farmers
and land owners.

THE cHlNooTEaG UE PONIES.
What the Wilmingtonians Saw at tht
Pony-penning Yesterday.

Recorder Shallcross, Sheriff Simmons
and Clerk of the Peace Biggs returned
Thursday night from their excursion to
the annual pony -penning festival on the
islands of Chincoteague and Assateague.
There was an unusually large incursion
of visitors to the islands.
The pen at Chincoteague contained 20
ponies and the Assateague roundup to-
tailed 200. Prices ranged ridiculously
high, as much as 5000 being asked for a
good Assateague pony.
In the afternoon the Wilmingtonians
took yacht ride twenty miles to sea.
Recorder Shallcross says that the clerk
of the peace is a miserably poor sailor
and worse fisherman, but that Sheriff
Simmons is the best company that any
boating or fishing party ever had.

The whole function did not take over
half an hour in operation.
1t was understood the cremation
would be completed in about an hour.

While Frank Cardwell, a brass
moulder at the brass foundry of j. D.
Coster & Co, No. 615 East Third street,
was lifting pot of molten brass from
furnace Thursday afternoon the pot
tilted, letting the hot metal out on the
floor, causing sound not unlike an ex-
plosion. Cardwell's left forearm was
burned by the metal.

The wooden barge, Lohring Monroe,
which was sunk in the Brandywine, in
front of Seidel & Hastings Company, on
Saturday evening last, loaded with scrap
iron and forgings, was raised Thursday
and the iron unloaded. The empty
barge was tied to the wharf with ropes.
During the night the barge broke loose
from its moorings and drifted down the
railroad bridge, where it again sunk to
the bottom Of the stream.

SOME COOP TRoTTING.
Matinee Races Given by the wawaset
Driving Park Association, Thursday Al
terunnp.

ternoon.
Thursdays matinee races given by
the members of the Wawaset Driving
Park Association, at Wawaset Park,
were thoroughly enjoyed by the 500 or
900 spectators.
The races, with few heat exceptions,
were spirited and the time made was
considered good. The only thing TO
mar the interest of the visitor was the
long delay in getting the different races
started. The small boys were there in
all their glory and seemed to own the
track, driver horses and all persons
there, from the way they ran over the
track to the detriment of the starts and
the risks to their necbs by being run
over. They caused several horses to
make very bad breaks at just critical
time that came near losing the heat for
them and were continually running on
the track when the horses were scoring.
1t is hoped that the boys will be kept
in their proper places at the races which
the association proposes to give in the
near future.
The most interesting feature of the
afternoons sport was the exhibition
race given by James B. Green's stallion,
Salhuln. AIter Gettlng lne morse WhIlneu
up by several rather quick trips around
| the track the word was given and the
mile was done in 2.34t. During a wait
between heats in the 2.45 class Saladin
was again brought out and this time
paced the mile in 2.26. He made bad
break on the home stretch in the last
half mile, caused by the crowd rushing
on the track. 1t was claimed by horse
men present that he would have made
the mile in 2.20 hut for this, as he had
made the first half mile in Ill.
The $3.50 was very well-contestec
race and was won by Chapman In two
heats, by neck in the second heat.
The 2.45 class was also very pretty
race and was won by Sanburn.
There was special pacing race II
which the owners of the horses coult
not be learned. The horses were goot
and evenly matched and it was necl
and neck from start to finish.
The starting Judge was j. W. Reeve
with Michael Devine and Joseph David
son as associates. The summary:
