TUGS ON 4 CREEK's BANK.
The Peculiar PredicaInent In Which Two
Boats Got While Seeking Harbor.

The dredging machine L. v. White
owned by the Atlas Dredging Co. of
this city, completed few days ago the
work Of digging out the Philadelphia
tug boats Majestic and Startle, which
went ashore in Cohansey creek, N. j.,
opposite Ship John Light, during the
recent severe storm.
The tugs had gone to the creek in
search of harbor, rs had also an oyster
fleet. The oyster boats were anchored
about milo up the creek Soon after
entering the stream the tugs had to pro-
coed by guess work. The tide was full
and four feet higher than usual. The
meadows along the creek were sub
merged and the water extended inland
a distance of nearly two miles. Seeing
the oyster boats at anchor the captains
of the tugs naturally supposed they
were in the channel and in seeking
places of safety the captains were gov
erned by the position of the oyster feet.
The latter, however, had drifted over to
the eastern shore and Immediately after
crossing the bow of tho first oyster boat
the tugs went into the meadows, their
sterns resting on the creek bank. Efforts
were made at once to haul the tugs off
but they were unsuccessful. In the en-.
deavor five-inch MANILA rope wa:
| broken.
Further attempts to float the tugs
were not made until several days later
and then considerable time and labol
were required. The boats had TO be dug
out. The work of releasing the Majestic
was begun first. A channel 100 fee
long had to be dug back of her, afte
which there had to be made on her star
board side cut in which to float tht
dredging machine and subsequently ,
cut 8 feet wide and 16 feet deep, int
which she was dropped, had to be made
Less digging was required to float tn,
Startle. The dredging machine expe
rienced no trouble in getting up to tn
tugs stern, when another channel 8 fee
wide and 16 feet deep was dug and int
this the craft was tumbled. The ser
vices OF both the Majestic and the dredg
ing machine were required to pull til
Startle of. Neither tug was damaged

A Lively War on Appoquinimink Circuit

Lively War on Appoquinimink Circuit
"a Pla. of Settlement.
Special Correspondeuce of Gazette ana journal
SMYRNA, April 81 For the first time
in gears Appoquinimink circuit is suf-
fering with contention. This circuit,
now in charge of the Rev. u. II. Hyn-
son, consists of three charges-Union,
Friendship and Smyrna Landing. Union
for many years was considered one of
the big churches, but the rivalry of
Townsend, few miles away, church
which is making steady gains, caused a
petty jealousy to arise among the mem
bers of Union, and hence a struggle for
supremacy ensued. The pastor has en-
deavored to do everything he could to
restore peace and order, but tho more he
eXhorted them the more stubborn they
became, finally refusing to help the
other two churches out on parsonage
rent, pastors salary, benevolent collec-
tons, &c. -.b,
This contention necessitated change,
and at the last conference Union was
placed on the Townsend charge, leaving
Friendship and Smyrna Landing t.
complete the APPOINTMENTS circuit.
Yesterday afternoon delegation from
Union and Friendship met at the par
sonage on Mt. Vernon street, Smyrna,
to make a proper disposal of the par
sonage property. A contested debate
was the outcome of the meeting of these
two factions. The matter was finally
settled by Friendship buying Unions
share of the parsonage furniture. This
tits thought, will settle matters Alright
