The Bank Walk.

The directors of the Cherry Island
Marsh Co., Chief Engineer Long of the
F., W. & b. Railroad Co., and f.
Staunton Gore Monday took the an
nual walk along the banks of the
Cherry Island marsh. They left Sixth
and Market about O'Clock in the
morning and went to Edge Moor.
From that place they followed the bank
to the Christiana, and along the latter
stream and up the Brandywine to tho
Pullman car works, distance of about
four miles. Everything was found to
bo in excellent shape. The bank was
in good condition, there being no
breaks and nothing TO indicate weak
ness anywhere. The directors wero
highly pleased when they found that
the rough winter weather had done no
damage whatever. The water which
flooded the marsh ON one or two occas-
ions, came from the Shellpot. Tho walk
was in accordance with the agreement
whereby the title is hold, and it is be-
lieved that on the last Monday in March
of each year since about 1748 the COM
pany or directors have made personal
investigation of the banks The most
pleasing feature of Mondays excur-
sion was the dinner, which was served
by Col. Ainscow, whom the weary trav-
elers returned.

seen denied any knowledge of it, and
one OF the officers of the Delaware Hos

Still another officer was not prepared
at the time to give out any informa-

Quarterly Conference Addresses by Bish
OPS Adams aud Coleman.


The quarterly conference of the Will
mington Assembly, Brotherhood of st.
Andrew, was held in Trinity parish
building Monday night, In the business
session Charles M. Curtis presided.
Seven chapters were represented. Re-
ports were received in regard TO the
hotel work, hospital services, relief
and missions. After the business ses-
sion Bishop Coleman took charge of
the devotional exercises. Addresses
were made by Bishop Adams of Easton,
Md, and by Bishop Coleman. Bishop
Adams spoke powerfully on the line of
personal influence. He took the parable
of little leaven leavening three
measures of meal, and made an appli-
cation of that process to religious life.
The spiritual influence comes from
without, it comes from God, and when
We have received it and only then. we
can impart it to others. The leaven
works quietly, without clamor, but per-
sistcntly.
Bishop Coleman, in his address, drew
attention to the fact that the devil
does not leave one alone; though
absent for time the devil will visit
one later on. The bishop laid emphasis
on the necessity for courage in Chris
tians, courage to speak against the
wrong deed, courage to speak the word
of faith, gently bur bravely. lie made
the point that there are many young
men in the city willing and anxious to
talk with sympathetic man concern
ing religion. He spoke Of the highness
of the calling OF God in Christ Jesus
and considered opportunities for SER
vice as privileges.

Fishermen prn,as,

A protest is being mado 10y the New
Jersey fishermen against the dumping
of mud in the middle drift of Hog Neck
channel, in the Delaware river, which
is opposite the shoals. Their nets are
four fathoms in depth and the middle
drift is filled with mud, leaving only
ono fathom of water, thus interfering
with their shad fishing. The govern
ment is dredging the channel and
dumps the mud on the best fishing
drift in this portion of tine river. The
fishermen are talking of taking action
in tho matter, and meeting may be
held and petition prepared and sent
to the government.
