THE RECENT lynching of negro
ravisher in Delaware seems to have rem
dered some colored preachers frantic,
and the vaporings of few in various
parts of the country last Sunday night
are amusing. 1t afforded many of nat
urally obscure walks in life an oppor-
tunity of getting their names in the
newspapers, and few were not slow in
availing themselves Of the chance for
transient and cheap notoriety. This is
the substance of what one African
preacher in Washington RECALLED his con-
gregation with Sunday night;

CONDITIONS IN WILMINGToN.-U
easiness has been caused in Wilmington,
DEL, because of a movement growing
out of the sensational sermon preached
by Rev. NJ. w. Thornton, OF the First
African Methodist Episcopal Church,
Sunday night, in which he urged the
negroes to arm for their protection and
to hold an Indignation meeting in Odd
Fellows Temple last night. Chief OF
Police Black yesterday went among
leading colored men and advised them
not to hold the meeting. They told
him that the meeting was not for the
purpose of discussing the lynching Of
George White, but to consider the general
interest of the negroes. The Chief told
them that even meeting for this purpose
would be misconstrued at this time and
they promised TO use their efforts to have
it abandoned. The proposed meeting
was not held. A small crowd gathered
in the vicinity of the place where it was
to have taken place, but the police
quickly dispersed it. After that no one
was permitted to loiter near the hall.

NEWSPAPER MEN IN WRECK. -
Newspaper men who have been guests OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at
Cape May for the past three days, were
in an unpleasant wreck near Whining
ION, Del, yesterday afternoon while re-
turning homeward. Although seriously
Jared and olted from their seats by their
train suddenly bringing up against some
freight cars, none of the newspaper party
was seriously hurt. Frank Paris, the
engineer, and James Begley, the fireman,
we're injured, Paris having his left leg
sprained and Begley being cut about the
head. The newspaper party's train was
running as a special, following the
Washington express, and consisted OF a
baggage car, three day coaches and two
Pullmans, and all we're comfortably
iilled with the railroad company's guests.
While running through Tedds Cut,
about O'Clock, the train dashed from
The main track through an open switch
and into two freight cars that were
standing on a siding The cars we're
crushed, and the locomotive of the news
paper train careened over on a hillside.
Fireman Begley leaped to the ground,
but Engineer Paris was pinioned in the
caboose of his engine and could not
move. Dozens of laborers we're sum-
moned, and by prying up the engine
they were enabled to extricate Paris.
After recovering from the severe shaking
up they received, the passengers were
transferred to two coaches and were
taken to Wilmington, after which they
we're sent to Baltimore and Washington
on another train.

To TEST PILoTAGE LAWS. The com
pulsory pilotage laws ofVirginia will be
tested in the United State Supreme
Court. The Virginia Pilots Associa-
ton is a rich organization. Pilots have
the right, under its charter, to collect
pilotage fees from vessels entering and
leaving the Norfolk harbor5 whether
they render a pilots service or not.
They have sued several vessels recently
whose masters refused the services of the
association pilot, and came and went on
their own knowledge of the harbor. In
the Court of Law and Chancery in Nor
folk Judge Martin decided that the fees
were illegal. He declined to require
vessels to pay pilots for services their
masters do not need and which pilots do
not render. On appeal the State Court
of Appeals reversed that decision. so
that the pilots, having the State decision,
withdrew yesterday two libels against
vessels for pilots fees, pending in the
United States District Court The at
torneys for the vessels assert that they
will test the compulsory pilotage law in
the United States Supreme Court. They
deny the power of the State to grant such
privileges to pilots.

CONSIDERING CAR RULES.

The State Corporation Commission in
Richmond yesterday began the consid-
Grafton of the storage, demurrage and
car-service charges for the railroad and
steamboat companies of the State, as
we'll as rules for the operation OF all
common carriers doing business under
the laws of Virginia. The work OF
hearing witnesses, considering the
amendments and listening to arguments
will likely last at least week, and then
the commission will take the matter
under advisemeDt before rendering its
decision. Several stenographers are en-
gagged in reporting the evidence. Some
of the rules already formulated are not
Objectionable to the railroads, while
Others are distinctly injurious, accord
ing to their contentious. One of the
amendments proposed is to require all
persons when ordering cars to make a
deposit of $2when the car is ordered and
to REQUIRE the cars to be loaded alta certain
time. Another is to give four days in
which to furnish the car after it is order
ed, instead of three, as at present re-
quired. There was big array of wit
nesses, lawyers and shippers on hand.
Nearly all the railroads are represented.
Witnesses are being examined by coun-
sci. Allen r. Watts. Of the Norfolk and
Western, is conducting the case as chief
counsel for all the railroads. This is
done to facilitate matters, but every law
yer in the room is free to ask any ques-
ton he may see fit to PROFOUND to any
witness. r. A. Taylor, manager of the
Virginia Car Service Association, com
posed of all the lines doing business in
this State, was on thestand for hours to-
day and was examined on each of the
rules, seriatim. The commission does
not pass upon any Of the amendments
proposed, but will reserve its decision.

MRS. sCHAEFER REMOVED;
SON is STILL HELD.
Wife of Poisoned Soup Victim Sent
to Hospfta1-Coroner May Finish
Examination Tomorrow.

Mrs. Conrad Schaefer, suffering from
the effects of poisoned soup, was removed
yesterday afternoon. from her home in
Easton Avenue Heights to the Deaconess'
Hospital. Doctor c. D. Potts, her ply
sician. said that while her condition was
serious. he thought she would recover.
The removal to the hospital was on his
advice. as her nursing at home depended
entirely on the charity of neighbors Mrs.
Schaefer has had six children, but the
only remaining member of her family,
George Schaefer, is held in the Clayton
Jail pending investigation into the cir
cumstances surrounding his fathers
death.
Doctor Potts said there was no doubt
that Mrs. Schaefer had been poisoned in
the same manner as her husband He has
not attempted to ascertain the nature of
the poison, and is depending upon the
analytical examination that is being made
by Coroner Koch.
The. Coroner has Schaefer's stomach,
and said yesterday that he would prob
ably be able to announce the result of
his investigation tomorrow.
Doctor Koch went to Clayton in re-
Spouse to telephone message from Pros

with the murder of his father. The Cor
oner decided, however, not to swear to
the warrant until after he had finished his
examination.

Wednesday. will also be concluded to-
morrow.
