For some time King street wharf has
been leased aud used by the New Jersey
& Wilmington Ferry Co. The ferry
company was formerly owned by the
Wilmington & Northern Railroad 90.
and is now owned by the Philadelphia
& Reading. and the otiicials Of the
railroad company decided that it would
be advantageous to have the business
OF the railroad aud ryfcornpanies
concentrated, hence tho move that has
just been made. Fhs tracks will turn
off Water street at King and run direct
to the wharf, probably IN train shed,
Tho stationswill be fitted up with the
Usual improvements and will be made
as oomfoI table aud convenient Az POS
sible for passenRers. 1t was impossible
to learn what the dimensions of the
building would DO, but the statement
was made that the building would be
large and roomy. The boats win land
at the river end Of the station and the
ttains will enter aud depart at the
north end. 1t Is expected that the new
station will be ready for use next spring.
At present the New Jersey x VIII
mington Ferry Go. operates the steam
boat Ulrica, but it Is intimated that
other boats may also be placed in SER

Ulrica runs to Penp's Grove, but the
company may reach out to other Jersey
points.
The new station will be quite as con-
venient as this present one. 1t will be
only one square from Market street and
vnly about stones throw from half a
dozen street car lines, Toe King street
line OF the Peoples company Is now
built to Front and King streets. two
squares from the wharf, and it is likely
that when the r., WA b. tracks are

The Board of Trade held special
meeting Thursday night to consider the
city charter bill and, after it had been
read and explained by William r.
Bancroft, j. Harvey Whiteman and
others, it was adopted, and provision
made to have it presented to the Legis-
lature,
Mr.. Bancroft, in his explanatory re!
marks, pointed out the difference be-
tween the new bill and. its predecessor
as prepared by the Board Of Trade,
and also the changes nom the existing
regulations.
Andrew L. johnson inquired whether
it would not be we'll to stipulate that
the city solicitor should codiiy the law
without extra Compensation. but Mr..
Bancroft thought the. bill was explicit
enough on that point, remarking that
it would be necessary to depend largely
upon City Council for proper enforce
ment of the law. !,
Relative TO the matter of elections,
Mr.. Whiteman said that matter con
cerned politicians to such an, extent
that IL was thought wise to leave the
details to a statute. Two bills on the
subject OF elections were under con.
sideration In connection with the
charter bin. One Of them does away
with primary elections for city officers,
all candidates to be placed on the
ticket who are =, recommended by. d
or more citizens, with no politica
designation,
President Lawton said it had beer
intimated that under, the proposed plar
OF election the Republicans would hav,
the advantage, on account Of the dis
tricts, wbereupon Mr.. Whiteman sait
he thought politics should not ente
into q CITY election. The proposed
plan was q good one and he favored 1t
1t was finally decided to incorporate
the supplement concerning non-partisaI
elections, explained by Mr.. Whiteman
the bill, and ask for the passage 0
the bill as amended. = s5s..-,
The charter committee was dis
charged, with the thanks OF tn
board, and President Lawton wa
directed to appoint committee o

Matrimonial Ceremonies Among Peas

The daughter of a metayer named
Jean Marie lived with her. father. a
widower, her brother, Pelho, her sis

alike worked upon the land. AZ young

the ground that he was NOT a fIe,
enough fellow to take his fair share
in the farm work of the family. The
girl threatened to go into service, and
thereupon the match was allowed to
come off in due course. The fiance
found the money for an extensive
trousseau, which was made up at the
girls home, taking six hired women
and a sewing machine seven days TO
finish. AS they were to live in the
girls fathers house, no furniture was
required. Bridesmaids were as always
chosen from the girls living in the
next dwelling house in the direction
of the church. Two days before the
wedding two live sheep, we'll washed
and adorned with ribbons, was sent by
the bridegroom's father to the girls
house, 10 be killed for the feast. Next
day in the afternoon there was a lot
of gun firing on the part of Pelho, and
during IT'S continuance procession Of
girls arrived, each bearing on her head
a decorated basket containing gifts
of bread, chickens and wine from
neighbors. They went into the girls
house, were fed and danced all the
evening. The brides father contrib
uted 60 pounds os beef, and the broth
er skin of Spanish wine (Which sure
ly never paid duty, as their respective
offerings in aid of the wedding feast
Next day, at 8 a. M, in pouring
rain, the wedding procession marched
under umbrellas to the maire, where
the civic marriage took place, when a
paper was hanLed to the bridegroom
authorizing the religious marriage,
which was celebrated afterward. None
Of the girls would sign the register,
nor the husband, probably out Of
mock modesty. This, by the way,
shows how faulty educational statis-
tics, derived from the personal of reg
listers, are apt to be. The fee of the
cure was 6 francs so centimes and
bottle of Rancio wine. After the cere-
mony the wedding party adjourned to
the cafe nearest the church until mid
night, when the dinner took place at
Jean Marie's. lasting until o'clock,
at which no one except the bride, who
had once been in service. used knife
and fork. The cook and waiting
maids were cousins and aults of the
bride, and got the middle piece of the
splendid cake, which, like all the food.
did honor to Basque cooking. The old
men became merrier than did the
young ones, singing and smoking.
Then dancing began to the strains of a
hired fute-player.-Gentlemen's Mag

Fought Himself in His SIeep.

Lee Moser was an amazed young
man when he awoke from slumber one
morning recently. He was momenta-
riiy not altogether certain of his own
identity His head felt big. Blood
covered his face. One Of his teeth
was gone. What did it mean? Then
it dawned upon his mind that he had
been giving fellow severe thrash
ing in his dreams during the night.
Everything corresponded exactly ex-
cept his recollection of his opponent,
who, he had dreamed, was some one
else beside himself. But in reality he
had been fighting himself. His better
self must have fallen into conflict
with his worser self. 1t was a sort of
Mr.. Hyde and DR.. Jekyll case. He had
a vivid recollection of striking his op-
ponent (himself) some very severe
blows about the head and face. And
he remembered, too, that he had
knocked tooth out, but he thought it
was the other fellows tooth. He is
thinking seriously now of placing
bodyguard around his bed at night,
hereafter, as he does not wish to do
himself any more bodily harm.-Un-
,ortown (Penn.) Genius.
