BAPTIST CHURCH PROTESTS

DOES NOT WANT RAILWAY
' TRACKS LAID ON WEST NINTH
STREET.
A congregational meeting of the
Second Baptist Church was held last
evening. The trustees were authorized
to protest to the Board Of Directors of
the Street and Sewer Department
against granting to the Wilmington
City Railway Company the right to lay
tracks on West Ninth street.
The church is situated at Ninth and
Franklin streets. It is felt by the
leaders of the congregation that the
running of cars would constitute a
noisy nuisance. AS a further reason
for not granting the franchise, it will
be urged that there is line on Eighth
street, just one square south, and that
it is ample for public convenience.

At night time the vessels can easily be

On Friday last a relative found some
powdered glass ON Mrs. Dulings bu-
reau, and the woman was asked if she
had taken any of it. She replied that
she had not. Nothing more was
thought of the matter until Mrs. Duling
began to complain Of severe pains in
the stomach, but refused to have medi-
cal attendance summoned. Yesterday
morning Mrs. Duling became much
worse, and Drs. Mullin and White were
Summoned, but before they arrived the
woman was dead.
