Mr.. Walter DamrOsch, the distin-
guished musician and composer. of
New York, says Of the women's clubs
OF the west: 1.-THE especially interest
ing features Of the artistic life in
western towns are the women's clubs,
and in these the culture and intellec-
tual life seems to be centered. They
have a tremendous influence. and 1t Is
through their efforts that fine concerts
are given and that the artists are per-
suaded to come there. We know very
little in New York OF what happens in
other cities OF the country. but II
would surprise New Workers to see the
activity with which the club wome1

Jerry sops in the National League.

jerry Nops made his debut in the
National League Monday, pitching
fine game against Chicago. Catcher
Boyle assisted him materially by en-
couraging coaching, but the same thing
cannot be said of snost OF the other
members on the team. Concerning the
game the Philadelphia Record says:
GERRY Nops, the crack loft-handed
pitcher of the Wilmington Club, made
his National League debut yesterday
in Philadelphia uniform and came
out victorious over the hard hitting
Chicago team by the score of 10 to 5.
Nops pitched in good form. notwith-
standing the discouraglng support given
him. Fly balls which should have
been easy outs dropped safe between
the fielders and wero credited as doubles
and singles. Nops kent the hits we'll
scattered throughout the seven innings
Chicago should have had but two runs,
onesin the fifth, which was earned, and
one in the seventh, which was scored
on a base on balls and two singles. "
Jerry was trifle weak at the bat.

nctifioationists KILLED.

The Seaford Nows is authority for
the following: "over 100 sanctitica-
tionists from, the Eastern Shore, Vir-
ginia, went to Montrose, Chowau county,
N. c., several weeks ago, and with
their new doctrines havo almost broken
up some of the churches in that county.
The believers in the new faith are prin-
cipally young men. These believers in
sanctiiicatioh have four arks which are
on barges in the Chowan river, and
they go round through the country
preaching their doctrines. The people
of Chowan county have been aroused
on account Of the conduct of this sane
titled band. Yesterday large body
of citizens met at Montrose, on Chowan
river, and had it not been for the re-
cent converts to the new theory of this
sect. the sanctificationists would have
been killed or badly beaten, and their
arks destroyed. Tho new converts of
the county insisted on giving them a
show. The sanctitlcationists were
given short time to get on their arks
and leave that section. After they had
boarded the arks, and we're moving up
the ChoWan, the crowd began TO fire
and killed several of them. They were
told to leave on Thursday morning at
10 o'clock, or more would be killed,
and their arks and barges destroyed.

ing championship of the world and
S2, 500 in addition to the Sportsman's Is
Cup, defeating james Ii. Stansbury
OF Australia, who recently defeated
"Wag" Harding for the championship
of the world. The course was the
usual championship course, four miles
straight away from Putney to Mortlake.
Gaudaur won by 20 lengths.
Gaudaur has held the professional
championship Of America since 1893
and twice before, in 1856 and 1887, he
held the same honors Gaudaur and
Stanshury had met before. The con-
test took place at the regatta at Aus
tin, Tex, 1893, when Stansbury was
not in good form. Since that time
Gaudaur has defeated Edward Hanlon,
George Bubear, Rogers, Hackett and
other professionals at the Halifax re-
gatta. He also stroked the -four"
which beat Bubear's Enpiish combina-
tion. The new champion has made
two previous visits to England. In
1888 he was over here with George
Hosmer, Edward Hanlon and Wallace
Ross, but he had to suecumb to Han
Ion and koss despite his clever style,
Which was much admired by English
experts. In 1886 Gaudaur rowed
Beach. an Australian, for the cham
pionship from Putney to Mortlake.
Stansbury won the Australian cham
pionship in 1891, when he defeated
John Mclean on the Param,tta river.
Gaudaur weighed about It's pounds.
He is feet high while Stansbury is
about Z pounds heavier and an inch
taller.
After IL false starts both men took
the water together. sitansbury had a
slight lead at Craven Steps, but soon
afterwards Gaudaur pulled up, took
the lead and maintained yit to the Grab
Tree, where foul occurred. STAINS.
bury thereupon stopped and appealed
to the referee. The latter, however,
would not allow the foul and Gaudaur
finished 20 lengths ahead in 23.0l.

De,aw.r. pilots, Relief society.

A meeting of Delaware pilots was
recently held at Lewes when PROPOSE
tion was introduced to organize a
beneficiary society to be known as the
delaware Pilots Relief Society,""
which shall give aid and relief to the
pilots Of the Delaware and their fami-
lies as occasion may require. Member
ship fees and monthly dues are re-
CURED to be paid to the treasurer and
he with the President is entrusted to
invest it in the name of the Delaware
Pilots Relief Society. At the age of
80 a member will be retired from active
duty rs a pilot and be pensioned by the
organization. In case of death the
widow of the deceased will receive a
monthly allowance during life. The
orphans of deceased members will also
receive the care of the Organization.
In Boston successful relief society is
maintained and by good Investments
the financial condition OF the treasury
is such that liberal pensions are granted
to disabled pilots and at death the
widow and orphans are bountifully
cared for. The SUCCESS of this move
ment to organize Delaware Relief So
ciety largely depends upon the number
of those who consider that it ia in tho
days of strength and vigor that prepar-
alton should be made for the disabili-
ties of old age. ...s.s

Baltimore Sun special

Report Inat IL VIII De u Feeder tD the
Psnnsyivania system Not Credited.
BALTIMORE Sun special.
Denton, Md, Sept. THE engineers
of the Queen Anne railroad spent a
portion of the past week at Lewes,
Del, making surveys in the interest of
the company. The grading to Green
wood, Del, is practically finished,
which is aa far as contracts have been
made. The next section is between
Greenwood and Ellendale, the survey
of which has been made. No definite
arrangements have been made further
than Elendsle, where the Delaware,
Maryland & Virginia railroad is crossed.
The rumor has been current In some
quarters that as the new road was not
being pushed beyond Greenwood, where
it intersects the Pennsylvania line,
that it was possible there was an un-
Outstanding not to go beyond and allow
the new road to be a feeder for the
Philadelphia, Wilmington Il Baltimore
railroad. 1t is claimed that passenger
coaches from Baltimore for Rehoboth
could be taken to Harrington, dis
tance of eight miles. and thence
go to Rehoboth. This, however, is not
accepted, as the Queen Anne Go. has
purchased property in Lewes and has
solicited, through their attorney, Mr..
Wilmer Emory, the right of way from
Ellendale to Lewes Aside from this,
Lewes and Rehoboth are two objective
points important to any railroad enter
prise. Lewes can certainly be made
coaling station and Western Maryland
coal can be freighted there by the new
road at cheap rates and quick time.
Who knows but that it would be feasI-
BILE to start line of steamships again
from Lewes to New York and have the
same as an extension of the new rail-
roads projects? To fruit growers this
idea is fascinating, because it would
give them quick route to the great
metropolis for their fruit. and would
afford opposition for the railroad, which
charges enormous freights on fruit.
In the absence Of competing line our
farmers have had no redress from such
exorbitant rates. Rehoboth as a sum-
mer resort has all the natural adyan-
tages to make it popular with Balti-
more and Washington.

William Virgins Was Victim of the Eb-
eDeezer Camp Riot.
Special alCorrespondeuceo OF Gazette and Journal
Middletown, Sept. 3. THE decom-
posed body found near Ebeneezer camp
ground yesterday morning proved to be
the body of William Virgins of this
town, who was involved in free fight
at the camp on Sunday week ago.
There was a bullet wound in the
mouth, the ball having struck him in
the lip just under the nose, and another
in the breast.
Virgins has been a fugitive from
Justice for nearly year, warrants
being in the officers hands, and it was
fear of arrest that prevented him from
going to his home after being injured.
The charge for which he was wanted
was shooting at Officer Dixon in this
town, while the officer was erdeavoring
to arrest him for disorderly conduct.
His alleged assailant, Lall Dembey, lives
at Odessa and is equally as notorious as
the victim. Eye witnesses of the
affair claim that the shooting was cold
blooded in the extreme.

THE sroRM ON THE RlyER.
Saturday Nights High Wind Damages Sew
eral Ships,


The storm OF Saturday night proved
most severe one on the Delaware river
and bay, where for time the rain
came down in torrents and the wind
blew gale from the southeast. Such
vivid lightning was never seen before
by the oldest steamboat men, and a
number of the oil laden ships narrowly
ecaped the destruction which would
have followed their being struck.
The excursion steamship Havana,
bound to the fishing banks, had to
come to an anchor. Several vessels
dragged their anchors, and at Chester
the schooner Walter W. Rasin and bark
Nellie M. Slade fouled each other. The
Rasin lost her jibboom, but the bark
sustained no apparent injury. The
wind blew with such velocity as to
carry down the wires connecting this
city with the Maritime Exchange Sta
tion at Reedy Island. and no news from
this locality could be had Sunday.

cargo of bones, old rags, &C.. is re-
