Peninsula Methodist. November 2ld.
In our issue of September 2lst we
noted IAN interesting incident, that
had occurred the previous month in
connection with Sunday morning
service in Wesley M. Il. Church,
Dover, when the Hon. Nathaniel b.
Smithers of that city stood before the
church altar, asking for admission to
membership on probation. We are sure
ii will be a matter of similar interest
to our readers, to learn that our
esteemed brother DIR. w. L. S. Muir
rays ministry in the State capital has
recently been signalized with another
accession of probationary member, of
somewhat similar prominence in the
social and political world.
A correspondent writes us: Sunday,
November Sd, was good day in Wes-
ley. There were three aecessions--a
young miss of IL years, boy of 10,
and well-known gentleman, DIR. Will
liam Salisbury, editor OF The Dola-
warean.
Dr. Murray preached from the words
Restore unto me the Joy of Thy
salvation; and uphold me with Thy
free Spirit. Then will teach trans
gressors Thy ways; and sinners shall
be converted unto Thee, Psalms Ii,
u, 10; and after showing the necessity
of seeking to recover former JOY, he
emphasized the way in which the
psalmist taught transgressors the way,
when he said 81 acknowledge my sin
unto Thee;'' II said will confess my
transgressions unto the Lord;' 81
waited patiently for the Lord and He
inclined unto me and heard my cry.
He brought me up also out of an hor-
rihle pit, out of the miry clay, and set
my feet upon a rock;" adding Christie
declaration, whatsoever therefore shall
confess me before men, him will / con.
fess also before my Father which is in
Heaven"
1t was half past IL o'clocS, the ser
mon being about 30 minutes long ano
as he closed he gave tine invitation Il
confess Christ then and there: where
upon Mr.. Salisbury came forward anc
knelt at the altar. After prayer b,
arose and gave his name to the church.
Our people were profoundly stirred.
In the mems meeting at 3. 10 p. m.
he spoke few words to the young
men who were present from tn,
Academy, of which he ia a trustee
and also in our revival services thu
next evening, he was with US at the
front.

WILL IMPROTE THE STOCK.
A New Move Among Horse breeders of
Mill Creek Hundred.


Many Of the farmers in Mill Creek
hundred are considering tho advisa-
bility of improving the quality of their
stock. Recently horse breeder who
halls from Ohio visited Mill Creek
hundred and impressed upon the farm
ers the necessity of such a step. He
has in his possession French coach
horse stallion, which is of remarkably
fine breed. 1t was recently imported
from France, and tho owner desires
to sell it for breeding purposes for
$1,000. The proposition has been the
talk among the farmers OF the hundred
during the last few days and on Friday
night last meeting was held in Union
School House to consider the formation
Of an association.
1t was proposed that there be 30
stockholders, each to contribute 500.
The proposition was discussed at length
and met with favor 1t was generally
conceded that it would be an excellent
idea, in fact it appeared to be i'm.
perative to get hold OF imported stock,
as the general tendency of the talk
was to the effect that ordinary horses
now are worth very little, as far as
selling them is concerned. No decisive
action was taken, but it is probable
another meeting will be held in the
near future, when a company will be
! organized and first class breeding
horse will be decided upon.

Mexico City, Mex. Nov. %. Great
crowds went to Pachuca yesterday to-
witness the fight between Smith, the
champion of Texas and Clark, negro,
Smith whipped Clark in four we'll,
fought rounds. There was an exciting
disturbance at the bull fight here 10
the afternoon, the spectators being en-
ragged at the tameness of the bulls,
which would not fight and the general
bad character of the performance.
Planks were hurled into the ring and
the roof was smashed. Many people
were injured. The mob insulted the
police but were finally quelled by
troops threatening to fire on the crowd.

ing the Delaware railroad tracks Just
above Porter's station on Saturday
afternoon, John I. Davidson, wife and
daughter were run down by the PENN
sula express. They were driving two
horses 10 Dayton wagon, and one of
the animals was injured 80 badly that
it will probably die, while the othor
escaped with few cuts and bruises.
The wagon was torn to splinters, and
the occupants, with their wraps and
blankets, were dumped off the side Of
the track out of the way of the passing
train. Mr.. Davidson had slight
bruise on the forehead which did n t
even break the skin, tho daughter was
not hurt in the least, and whilO the
wife suffered several bruises her in
jurics arc not at all serious. Taken all
in all theirs was probably the most
miraculous escape in an accident of
this kind which has occurred on the
Delaware road for many years The
train was nearing the station and while
not going at full speed was moving
quite fast
DIR. r. 3. McKoe, the railroad physi-
clan at Middletowp, went to the scene
of the accident on the next train north
and found Mr.. Davidson and his
family about to drive ON to their home,
near Elkton. The physician found
their injuries of slight character,
as stated, but considers their escape
miraculous.

The ordinance relating to ohstruct-
ing the streets and sidewalks went
into eifect-or, rather, its enforcement
began-at midnight Saturday night
The enforcement of the law will affect
business in various ways Some of the
liverymen are complaining that it will
hinder them very materially on ac
count of being prohibited from occu
pying the streets with their wagons
They don't like the law, and will en-
deavor to have an exception made ir
their case
Many persons who have been doing
business along the curb for years are
also complaining The curb in the
future cannot be occupied by butchers
or other merchants 1t will be reserved
for farmers The butchers who have
been doing business on the curb will
either have TO get inside the buildings
or within four feet of the building
line. Many expressions were heard
from them Saturday Many say the
enforcement will drive them out Of the
business, which will undoubtedly be
the case. The buildings, both inside
and out, along the market streets, are
pretty we'll occupied at present, and
those who are driven from the curb
will have no refuge, unless they do
business in buildings and at stands on
other streets or in market houses.
The market house butchers are
iubilant. They think the enforC ement
of the ordinance will be of great bene-
fit to them. \ man doing business in
Second street market, expressed him
self as follows TO reporter of The
Gazette on Saturday; NOW we will
e I5-N
You cannot imagine to what extent
this curbstone evil has hurt us. Yes,
and il has hurt the peoele of Will
mington, indirectly. These butchers
who have been doing business along
the curb have become so numerous of
late that they have driven away many
farmers and in that way we're on fair
way to ruin the farmers market We
could not 60 out on the curb and do
business. We would be arrested at
once and punished for violating the
law, and now il is gratifying to know
that the authorities have awakened to
the fact that these fellows are violating
the law also
This curbstone business has almost
ruined our business. The market houses
used TO be the mecca for buyers OF
meats, and We could make good
living, but since there are so many on
the curb in the same business there
are hundreds of people who used to
deal in the market houses altogether
that have not been inside market
house for some time. So it is very
plain how the business has been hurt
But now that the law will be enforced
we have hopes that the business will
return to u.s.

Baker in the onaissr cry Was shaken Up

by Last Wednesdays Earthquake.
The Philadelphia Record on Sunday
said: The miniature earthquake
which struck Delaware State last We'd
nesday morning seems to have made it's
presence felt in at least one section of
this city. A young iourneyman en-
ployed in a North Twelfth street bak-
cry lay down on bench in the bakery
for few minutes rest, shortly before
8. 80 O'Clock. Wednesday morning He
had scarcely stretched himself out on
the bench when the latter began to
vibrate in peculiar way, and con-
tinued to do so for 40 seconds. The
vibration was very slight, but it was
different from anything Of the sort he
had ever felt before. He concluded
that it must haye been due t. an ex-
plosion, but when be told his story to
some friends later in the day they only
laughed at him. His companion in
tho bakehouse, who had. been resting
at the same time, only upon bench
nearer to the floor. felt no extraor-
binary vibration, and he, too, was in
clined TO laugh at the other. The young
journeyman, however, insists that it
was an earthquake no felt. "

Church street wharf was the scene of
lively row Sunday afternoon. The
wharf is frequented by lot of idlers
and on Sunday several of them took
refuge in an old building there. A fire
in the stove inside was smoking at a
great rate, and some men on tho out
side conceived tho idea Of fastening
the door and making things miserable
for those inside. The door was conse-
quently barred and the men inside
came very near choking 10 death be-
fore they succeeded in gaining their
liberty. The gang on the outside was
in high glee, while those inside were
suffering.
