Meeting of Methodist Ministers.

The weekly meeting of Wilmington
NJ. L. Preachers Association was held
Monday morning. Rev. John France
presided, the Rev. j. B. Quigg con-
Quoted the opening devotions and the
Rev. g. L. Hardesty served as critic.

The Board of Water Commissioners
held their regular meeting Tuesday even
ing. The weekly payroll amounted to
S369.60. The balance in bank was found
to be sl06,755.05. The ACCESSIBILITY of
dividing the funds Of the department in
the various banks in the city or have
one repository for all the moneys in use
by the department was discussed at
some length by the members. MIR. Porter
was rather inclined to favor ono reposi
tory, as was the case heretofore, but
still he expressed no particular ohiec-
tons to the division the board finally
made Of the funds. The board then
pissed resolution to the effect that the
Central, First National, National Bank
Of Wilmington and Brandywine and
National Bank Of Delaware each receive
$4,000 of the 100000 now on deposit
to the credit Of the water department,
and that the remaining $4,000 be
placed in the Union National Bank,
which is the repository of the depart
ment at present, this bank to be CON
sldcred the dsbursing bank. The board
agreed that the Union Bank was entitled
to the lions share of the funds and it
was also agreed that when the depart
ment's money in this bank got below
$40, 900 the board was to draw upon the
other banks to make upthe deficiency.
In this manner the board proposes that
the disbursing bank shall never have
less than $4,000 of the departments
money on deposit.

PHILADELPHIA THIEVES "a UaHr.
Attempting to Secure Money ut tho Post
office Here Last Saturday.


Edward Meyers and James Kelley,
two Philadelphia tramps, were brought
before United States Commissioner s.
Redmond Smith Monday charged
with being implicated in an attempt on
Saturday last to get letter of advices
from the post-oilicc here, which was adj
dressed TO Harry L. Mallory, No. 1412
p street, Washington, d. @. District
attorney Beniah Watson informed the
commissioner that his chief witness
tMahlony) had left town, and therefore
he would ask for postponement of the
hearing until this morning. The
defendants.also needed their witnesses,
who could not be found on Monday.
Commissioner Smith made an order in
conformity with the district-attorney's
request.
The story of the case is that o'clock
Saturday afternoon last Chief Blackburn
received the following telegram:
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6, 1892 Chief Of
Police, Wilmington: Letter Of advice was
stolen from Harry L. Mahlony. He ex-
poets letter containing money at general
delivery in your city. Retain parties who
apply for il unless he has letter from me
and wire me. L. j. LINDEN,
Superintendent of Police.
The post office officials were notified
simultaneously. Mahlony called at the
general delivery window at 4 o'clock.
The man was detained talking, and
quickly Officer Massey appeared and
took him over to the police station.
Mahlony showed his letter of identified
ton to Chief Blackburn who thereupon
dismissed him.
Meanwhile two men appeared in the
post-oillce, one of whom went UP to the
window and asked for the Mahlony
letter. He was detained for few mo-
ments, when Captain Francis and Officer
Floyd came in and arrested them and
took them across to the police station.
| There they were Immediately identified
by Mallory, who added that one OF
them had robbed him of an oyercoat al
the Lancaster House, Philadelphia
Thursday night. The coat contained, il
is supposed, letters and information Of
which Kelley and Meyers made use.

presented to the supre.he commander a

In response to the toast "The Church
and Secret Societies" James II. Appleby
showed how the secret beneficial socie-
ties are acting in unison with the
church. The former is doing what the
church neglects to o certain extent; the
church is attending TO the spiritual want
and the societies to the bodily want.
Mr.. Laing pleasantly responded to
the toast "The Ladies'"
Joseph Pyle, who was TO have re-
spondcd to the toast "Fraternal Organi-
zations," could not be present and John
]. Habecker, who was to hav. responded
to the toast "Our Future" had to leave
early.
Bouquets were presented to the
speakers and the pianist. The festivi-
ties continued about two hours and q
half.

New YORK, Feb. 9.-When the fire.
men and laborers will finish their grew
some task among the charred timbers
that mark where stood the Hotel Royal
is still matter of pure guessing. As
the search among the ruins goes on more
bodies, or parts of what was once living
humanity, are brought to light.
Before daylight this morning four
more bodies had been taken out. The
list before day dawned had been swelled
to Is, and yet what it Is supposed will
prove the most fruitful spot for the
searchers had not yet had pick stuck
into it. That part is where the elevator
shaft was. A heap of bricks, twisted
iron and half charred rubbish marks the
spot, and beneath the little mound of
ruins the firemen expect to find close to
u dozen bodies.
At 1.55 o'clock the seventeenth body
was discovered wedged in among the
debris under what had been the hotel
office. One of the workmen stated that
| ii was the body of a woman. All the
| bodies taken out this morning were
| found i'll the cellar of the old building
on the corner, and about under where
| the restaurant had been.
| Unless the bodies lying in the morgue
are identified within very short time
it will be impossible to do SO. They are
already beginning to decompose. The
contents Of box No. were identified as
| A. A Townsend of III Church street,
New Haven, by Mr.. r.. d. Baldwin last
evening. The contents of box No.
were identified as Mary Begley by DIR.
Edward Pagan of 362 Sixth avenue,
who had put in the false set of upper
teeth worn by her.
This morning, at 10 o'clock, two
women dressed in mourning and two
men told Keeper White that they were
looking for Sarah Blake, aged so years,
who occupied room on the fourth
floor in the front. Miss Nellie Kendall
Of Plainville, Mass, was one of the
women. She said that Mrs Blake was
her aunt and that she worked in hat
factory in Stamford, Conn. Her home
was in Sheldonville, Mass. She came
to the city on Saturday afternoon and
accompanied Mr.. Glassford, who was
expecting her, to the theatre. After the
performance he took her to the hotel
and procured q room former. That was
about midnight. She has not been seen
since. Charles Blake, one OF the party
the brother of Sarah, identified the con.
entts of box No. as his sister by gold
chased ring which was found on the
third finger on the left hand, and the
false teeth. They then left to make ar
engagements for the removal of the body
The remains of II. ]. Levy were re-
moved yesterday. Samuel Charles, {
hall boy at the Hotel Royal, called yes
terday afternoon and thought that tn,
! woman in box No. was Mrs. Lewis
who had room SO and is missing, anc
the man il box No he thought wa
her husband, who is bookmaker a
Gutenberg. He could not positivel,
identify them, however. AS was showl
later he was mistaken. Photographs Of
the bodies in boxes Nos. Q and 4 wer
taken by Keeper Finnegan.

nothing more than dilapidated grand
piano, which had crashed down from
the second floor.
At o'clock the entire force was put
to work In the cellar, under what was
the drawing room and near the elevator
shaft and stair case.
THE THIRTEENTH BODY.
An hour and a quarter later body,
the thirteenth, was unearthed. 1t was
that of woman with dark hair, badly
burned, and utterly devoid of clothing
or jewelry by which Identification
would be possible.
THE FOURTEENTH WAS A MAN.

milton, was taken out from the same
place and put in coffin No. IA.

may be identified 1t was that of an
extremely well-formed woman, with

ders. The arms were burnt to crisp,
the legs were in a similar condition,
while the face and neck were badly
scorched. The body was putin box No.15.
HANDS AND LEGS BURNED OFF.
1t took about half an hour from the
time No. 16 was discovered to remove
the heavy timbers, but the body was
finally taken out at Bis a. m. 1t was
that of a woman badly charred and en-
tirely naked, with hands missing and
legs below the knees gone. The head
was small and the features, as near as
could be judged, were regular and
handsome.
The worlsmen were kept at the center
of the building until 6 o'clock when a
change of force was made apd the fresh
day men put on the side entrance on
Fortieth street. 1t is expected that
| THE BULK OF THE BODIES
will be found here and at the foot of the
| elevator shaft, for in passing through
both of these places distinct odor of
burnt and decomposing flesh manifested
itself. At $50 o'clock the crowd of
spectators began to reasonable and kept
increasing until 730.

between the cafe and office.

ANOTHER WOMAN VICTIM.

ANOTHER WOMAN VICTIM.
AT 11.30 o'clock the eighth body was
found, about 10 feet from the spot
where the seventh body had been dis
covered. II was that of a woman with
out clothing, about 25 years old, and five
feet two inches in heighth. Beneath the
body were found black cambria skirt,
bunch of keys, small bottle Of cologne
in case, aud a check book, on which
was written the name &c. A. Ruffy,
Philadelphia Nearby were new
pair OF ladies' shoes, a leather trunk and
valise.
HOW 1T MAY HAVE ORIGINATED.
Victor Follerin, waiter who worked
in the hotel some time ago, gave in an
interview this morning some interesting
facts that may throw some light on the
origin of the fire. He said that while
he was working there it was the habit
for rubbish to accumulate in one corner
of the kitchen. This pile of rubbish on
three different occasions caught fire but
was quickly eytinguished by pals OF
water. Nothing was thought Of il al
the the time, but Follerin now believes
that it was here that the fire originated.
This morning it is also learned, on
good authority, that Herbert Harding
the fireman Of the hotel, who first dis
covered the fire, fought the flames fol
10 minutes before he sounded an alarm
This was the general belief among people
who saw the nature and swiftness of thu
fire, but Harding denied it. II is now
said that he has confessed the fact to
friend and by the friends indiscretior
some Of Inspector Byrnes' men have
learned the TACT and are investigating.
At 3 o'clock the ninth body, that Of
woman, was found.
