MORMONS IN NEW CASTLE.
Idaugurating IL Systematic Course of
Teaching With u View to Sc
curing PrOsely tes.

The city of New Castle on the Della
ware has four new inhabitants, in the
persons of four Mormon elders, with full
credentials and authority to cXpound the
doctrines of the Book VI Mormon. They
have announced their intention of hiring
hall in which to eXpound the peculiar
tcnets OF their religious belief with the
purpose of making converts, who il they
50 desire will be sent to join the favored
ones in Utah.
The town is in a fever Of excitement
over their advent and the female portion
thereof is anxiously awaiting the open
ing Of their place Of worship. The fact
II at the Il ale population Of New Castle
is considerably in the minority has in all
p"o ability Il great deal t. do with the
feminine interest in the matter. 1t is al
together likely that in tie near future
there will be several uf tie hc.lcS OF New
Castle. Dobbinsviilc and other adjacent
villages residing in I,HI, with some de-
v"Ut Mormon, raising crops and falnil., 8
on the shores Of the Great Sat fake.
4 reporter OF The ~tN interviewed one

.d intentions. and vas told Il at it was
their iEt,n ticn to secure Il all and svs =
tenn; ii 'ally hold meetings, and that slch

Their enterprise tie elder cited the case
III the Mormon misSi II in Phiudcl-
phia which started some years ago and
which in spite OF all attempts to suppress
them by legal and illegal means still
tlonrsl!cS, there being over twenty Nor
mon elders connected with the active
work Of the mission. The law will
not only hinder them but must if need
be protect them.
He stated that he thought the field OF
New Castle ripe and ready fer the ha .
vest, which, from all indications, W:
sure to be abundant.
The young men Of New Castle vow
that if their girls 60 totLc Mormon meet.
ings they will ''cut them dead,' while
others, it is said have banded together
in a sort Of secret order with the purpose
of mutual aid; their plan being, that il
the feminine object ofany members ador
alton succumbs, the whole order turns
to and rcscues her. On the other hand
varal benedicts have already been sus
pectcd Of laying plans to expose thcil
better halves to the prosclyting influence

Single Takers Vacatc,

The people Of Wilmington are deter
mined that the presentation services Of

British Troops Repulse Another Attack
Arrival of Re-enforcements


Slmla, July 31.-A dispatch from camr
Malakand reports another night at.
tack by the tribesmen The natives
fought desperately for several hours
but were repulsed at all points. Bon.
fires had been lighted around the
camp. and in the glare the. tribesmen
were easy targets for the English rifle
men. Many fell, and in the light Of the
flames the natives could be seen remov-
ing their dead. 1t is reported that the
mullah was badly wounded, and that
several Of his principal chiefs were dis
abled
The British lost 1 man and II wound
ed, among the latter being Lieutenant
Costello, who was wounded the second
time. He had received a slight wound
during the attack on Wednesday.
The losses of the enemy is believed 10
have been heavier than on any previous
occasion. The fact that the mullah was
wounded and his chief disciple killed
will dishearten the fanatics. The null
lah posed as divinely inspired and as
able to capture Malakand
The force of the mullah have been
augmented by a strong gathering OF
the natives on the hills to the right of
the British position. The theory is that
the Bonorwals have risen. The situa-
ton is now somewhat relieved by the
arrival Of re-enforcements under Colo
mel Reed from Nowshora.

but it advanced. The wheat market
seemed TO have met a reaction, but has
been moving upward as rapidly as be-
fore. Money markets have been made
more confident by declarations OF the
president and Secretary Gage
The most important event since the
passage OF the new tariff which was
generally anticipated a week ago, has
been the marked Increase IN foreign
demand and advance In price OF wheat,
which has risen 4is cents during the
week, with western receipts for the
first time exceeding last years.
The woolen manufacture answers
wholesomey and moderately TO new
tariff conditions. and while opening of

met very encouraging demand the
