The Planter.

Captain Thomas of the British bark
Norfolk Island. which arrived at San
Francisco from Newcastle, Australia,
on the 18th instant reports that when
four miles west of Point Reyes January
10Th he saw a short spar and some
wTeckage floating on the sea. A few
hours later the schooner Grace Dollar
repeated to the Merchants Exchange
that she had passed a sugar-laden
Darkentine with her royal mast carried
away off Point MOntara. Ii is beliey-
ed that the wreckage and spar seen
by captain Thomas was from the
Uarkentine. The skipper of the Dol
lar could not make out the d.smantled
barkentine, but it is thought that she
must be the Planter, now out sixteen
days from Honolulu and the only sugar
pacHet of any rig now due at San Fran
cisco.

Cruise of the Adams.
Ship Struck by Lightning.

The ship Tillie e. Starbuck was
struck by a thunderbolt during a
severe storm off the Horn on her last
voyage out from Philadelphia. 1t
Clipped a piece out of the fOre-topgal-
liant mast as neatly as if the indenture
had been made with an ak. but did no
serious harm. Young Curtis, the cap
tain's son, who came out as a sailor
before the mast, had just left the fore
skysail yard when the lightning struck
the mast. He was blinded by the
bright light, but felt no shock. In fact
no one knew that the ship had been
struck until the following day, when
a sailor alOft noticed the damage.

$50 When taken together it shows a
gain of 81 per cent in nine years. The
Catholics have gain of SO per cent
and the Protestants 20. The large Eu-
ropean immigration keeps up the
growth OF Catholicism. Now, leaving
out the negro churches and the Luther
an, which Is drawing large numbers of
european immigrants, the average Pro-
testant body has gained about % per
cent during the nine years, if we omit
the Disciples Of Christ. There are two
remarkable things in regard to the Dis
clples or Christian churches. First, they
nave gained more than any one except
the Catholics, the net gain being an
S45. Second, their per cent of gain is
nearly three times as large as the av
estant body has gained about 90 per
cent, while the average gain of the larg-
er Protestant bodies is only about 90
per cent.

Communicated -
j. q. Shivler, who has been put upon.
the pension list by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Co., entered the employ of
the p, w. q b, Railroad Co. as agent
at Newark, Del, in 1862, thus holding
this position 80 years. SILL
The .'old depot" as ii was known
after the removal to the new site, was
house similar to those now occupied
at Newport and Stanton, and had con-
siderable ground attached. Upon this
ground, Mr.. Shivler, in 1866, erected
small greenhouse, and raised num-
her OF plants and flowers; and, in the
spring of 1867, he conceived the idea of
identifying the grounds around the
station, which idea he carried out to
such an extent that it was the ad'niIa-
tion of all who Travelled that way, and
for many years Newark had the unique
distinction Of not only being the first
but the only station in the country to
be beautified in this way. and the rail
road COMPANY, seeing his efforts in this
direction, approved them, sending him
| flowers and trailing plants. Nj. Shivler
received many lettersI from travellers,
eulogizipg his work, and making in
| qunic' ioBoidfH5 Piunoo ohoo moic Low
to them, and requesting cuttings and
seeds. In 1876, the company built a
new station its present site), and
again Mr.. Shivler put up a greenhouse,
this time very large one, in which
he had number of tropical plants
tn rad been sent him from Florida
al louisiana, all Of which attracted
"a 6 attention. About 1880, the com,
pany concluded to beautify all Of III
stations. and it formed floral depart
ment, with headquarters at Newark
purchasing from Mr.. Shivler his green
houses, and adding to it by erecting
many others, and assigning David @.
Rose, Jr., of Newark, to take charge o
the same, and this business has grow
| into tho large and important position
it now holds upon every railroad IN tn
country, and all the credit of it belong
to Mr.. Shivlee, the originator ant
fnther Of it, who planted the first sect
and put it into practical use back il

A RECEPTION TO MEMBERS
Board of Trade to Entertain on
Washington's Birthday.
SUGGESTION MADE BY c. W. SMITH
That Board Have a Building
: of Its Own.
IL 10 Desired to HRvs as Delegates TO the
National Board OF Trade Men Who Can
Work in rho interest OF Larger Appro-
priation for the Harpor Of Wilmington.

The Board Of Trade at its monthly
meeting Thursday decided to give a
reception to, its members on Washing.
toms Birthday. This decision followed
q suggestion made by Angus Almond,
who had been connected with the
Commercial Club OF Louisville, which
dent William Lawton will name CON-
mittee of five to make arrangements for
the boards reception.
Another suggestion made at the
meeting was by q. W. Smith, new
member, mud that was that the board
should have a building of its own. He
declared that ut would BIO worth while
to erect an Office building on borrowed
money, and that the money could easily
BIO secured from one of the life in
suranoe companies. Such building,
he believed, would be self supporting.
This matter will be discussed later.
Secretary Daniel W. Taylor had pre-
viously recommended the building of a
structure by the board.
John s. Rossell announced that City
Council is we'll inclined on the subject
of q new city charter, and that after q
fcommittee is appointed on behalf OF
the board, he hoped that Council would
| take similar action, and thought they
might have the pleasure of seeing both
committees working on the subject of
| d new charter.
| As for the boards committee, Mr.
Rossell suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of
having men on it who have not pre-
yiously been active in the charter mat
Ter, and President Lawton thought the
suggestion a good one. He may name
the committee Oh Saturday.
The board adopted resolution in
favor of the Nicaraugua canal and
asking Delaware's representatives in
| Congress- to use their best efforts to
/ Eass bill in behalf OF its construction.
President La pton has the naming oil
two members to repi esent the board of
the meeting of the National Board in
Washington. this month. In the dis
cussion il was held to be unfortunate
that the delegates would have to pay
their own expenses, and mention was
made of the failure of numerous mem
bers Of the board to pay their dues. A
collector may be engaged to try te
secure the money outstanding.
Mr.. Lawton desires to have delegates
to the national board who can work II
the interest of "A large appropriation
for the Wilmington harbor SO that the
channel may be kept clear. One of thu
delegates will be W. Dew. Dimmock
With the large returns to the Stat,
treasury from the Corporation act il
mind. Mr.. Lawton mentioned the fac
of the opposition to the manufacturer
tax, and hoped something might b,
done with regard to it. 49,
