OAHRITx AND THE CHURCHES
The Duties of Deacons Discussed
Revival Spirit Among the
MethOdists.


The regular weekly meeting Of mill
listers yesterday did not result in any
thing Of special moment to the public.
At the meeting of Presbyterian clergy
the Rev. A. L. Harsha read a paper on
the duties of deacons, and incidentally
he reported valuable information re-
garding the charity work of the church.
A discussion followed IN which it was
agreed that the deacons of the various
churches should be called upon ia take
active part in the work of charity made
necessary at this time, and their SerV-
ices be called into use oftener in future
than heretofore.
Before the Baptist ministers Rev.
Wayland Hoyt read a paper on the
apostle Peter. claiming that he only
acted as tigurehead for the words of
Christ, which were intended to reach
the entire unregenerate world, and that
it was upon this and not on Peter alone
that he founded his church.
The Methodist preachers discussed
the prevailing revival spirit and the
coming Week of Prayer"

Trouble May Result From the
Reduction in Wages.
The recent cut in wages applied to
the barrel coopers of Minneapolis has
created great dissatisfaction among the
members of the craft, and at meeting
of the coopers' union held Sunday it
was decided TO go out on strike
It's claimed that a reduction has been
made from 45 TO 30 cents on eighth
barrels. which has given rise to all the
trouble. AT the meeting referred TO it
was decided to confer with the brewers
with the view of inducing them to use
homemade casks. In the event that
the latter are favorable to the home pro.
dnctlon. it IS thought that serious
trouble will be ayerted.

Tyler, of Onancock, Va.
The groom's father, Rev. I. SNOW

emony, assisted by Rev. DIR. jacob
Todd, pastor of Trinity NJ. E. Church,
and Rev. Louis E. Barrett, Presiding
Elder of Wilmington District, Will

Floral decorations in admirable

Death of Mrs. Jos. B. Benson.

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Benson, or
Lizzie as she was familiarly known,
wife of Joseph b. Benson, died sudden
ly at her home at the Light House,
Bombay Hook, about noon on Sunday,
in the 6lst year of her age But very
few knew of her death until the fune-
raj notice was read in church at the
evening service, and the shock was
therefore the greater. She had been
indispOsed or rather feeble, and the
doctor had visited her nearly a week
before, leaving prescription to build
up her strength, there being no disease
to fight. On the morning of her death
she had another of the weak or sinking
spells, and it was thought advisable to
send for the doctor again. On inquir-
ing after his arrival at the house he
was told she was much better, and
while sitting at the fire talking to Mr..
Benson, warming his hands prepara-
tory to going up to her room, call
came from her attendant ITO come
quick" They both hurried up stairs,
but the death struggle was over in
minute or two after they got there.
The deceased had been known in
this community from her youth. Her
maiden name was Crockett, and her
father dying in her infancy, the most
of her life thereafter until her marriage
was spent with her aunt, Mrs. Sabra
HOffeCker, wife of Joseph HOfecker,
from whose house in 1852, Mr.. Benson
led her to the marriage altar, the GER
emOny being sOlemnized in the NJ. e.
Church Of this town, theirs being the
Hpet rrNn nrspla
formed in the church.
How faithfully she fulfilled every
obligation of wife and mother is known
to all who are familiar with her life
these forty one years. She was tender
affeetiOnate and true in her own home,
warmhearted with her friends, aud
possessed a gentleness that was attrac-
tive even to the passing stranger.
Life was not without it's isOlatiOns.
cares and deprivatiOns, but behind her
native gsutieness there vas 1. will,
coupled with q commendable pride and
purpose to keep along with those sur
rounded with more advantageous cir.
cumstances, that made her wonder
aud study to many, "at what frail,
little woman could accomplish"
Twelve children were the result of
the qniQn, nine boys and three girls,
all of whom are living but the oldest
daughter, Annie. who married Chas.
Osborne, a gentleman in Philadelphia,
and died some six years since; the boys
with one exception, being grown and
off bravely fighting life's battles, one
being a preacher in the Kentucky
Conference. How much they owe to
a mothers hand who Insisted on neat.
ness, good department and making the
best use Of their opportunities, they
may never know.
She embraced religion and united
with the church in early life, and
though unObtrusive and retiring, the
divine light given her then never lost
its lustre. but ever shone out in her
works Her life, il might Ee said, was
consecrated to two things-the faith
which she espOused and the children
that were committed TO her keeping.
The funeral will take place to-mor-
