While street ear No. It, driven by lan- Lynch, waa coining down Market street, th driver attempted to atop th car at Fourth street, but th rail had be eom very slippery and the ear slid ns atalnst the horse.

Th latter became frit hteued and started to ran down th steep grade at a terrlOo rat of speed. Th driver lost all power to check animals after Third street had been passed, and all he could do waa to keep them in th track and glv warning to teams and people ahead of aim. Tb ear thundered down to Front street and everybody expected that th driver would round th curve there, but exercised great presence ot mind and pulled the horses off the track. A nors belonging to Jacob Davis, who lives beyond Third street bridge, waa being driven up th street, attached to a light wagon. The driver, seeing th car coming, became excited and palled over to th east aid of th street, before he had reached ther.

however, the horses attached to th ear dashed into Davis's horse, knocked It down and th ear ran into th enrb, where It cam to a sudden top. Davis' horse was instantly killed. All the teeth In lta right jaw were knokd out, Its Jaw waa brokau and a deep bole was made in lta bead, from wmcn in brain oosed. Th horse was worth about 100. The ear was slightly damaged, but none ot its Inmates were hurt.

Miss Ida Lewis was the only passenger, and she very wisely clung to th straps until the car stopped. bhe was badly jarred and frlghteued, bnt soon re covered. Superintendent Harry H. Archer of the Wilmington City Passenger Railway Company called at tne b-VRSiNO jourxal office this morning and aaid, expiana tion, that th boslueis men living below Fourth street on Market, will persist in throwing water, through small hose, on the rails, until they became so slippery that the wheels would slid along as it th the rails had been slushed with tal low. He also atated that th driver de served great credit for his presence of mind.

Farra, president of City Council, made a brief pech, in which he gave the visitors the freedom of th oltr and wished them a most hearty welcome. Uovernor Beuiamin T. Biggs made an address of welcome In behalf the state. ...11 I. a.

I i mlltee tndT BUrpo8e( by of my position, I have been called upon to bid you welcome to this state.

Massey of Dover belnir lntrodueed, gave a very good address, in hich be said that the engineers could be placed against any other body of men in tbe world for devotion to duty, and on possessing those qualities which make true manhood. He congratulated Chief Engineer Arthur on the wonderful in' crease of the society.

Hyatt's Military Band then gave a very good selection, entitled, "Ulen Island Waltz," after which General J. Parke Postles made a short address, In which he said that the engineers have the trust of the commu nity, and such an organization must be founded on principles ot equity, lustlce and truth. He hoped that it might ever continue in the same course it la now pursuing. C. B.

Rhoada sang a solo entitled, Infelice," and was heartily encored ana a oouquet oi cut nowers was pre sented to nun. a very Humorous speech was made by Patrick Fennel, better known under the nom de plume of "Shandy He said that as the other speakers had been praising the engineers he wonld have to act as a wet blanket on their feelings, lest they should become filled with egotism and think themselves the lords of creation. Because it is a strong organization they must not think that they are the only persons who have any rights, and that everything they wish must be conceded to. At the eonclnsion of his speech he was tbe recipient of a basket of hand some flowers from the wives of the mem bers of the reception committee. "The Mill in the Forest waa then played by tne Dana.

Grand Chief Engineer P. M. Aulton of Cleveland, Ohio, then made the principal aaaress or the evening on the subject Tbe Objects and Principles ot the Order." He said that he had labored for years to bring about closer relations between employer and employe. He wished to disabuse ths minds of the people who think the first is above the other. He then gave a brief history of the nnion, About twenty-seven years ago, in Detroit, the first division of this great nnion was formed, its members num berlng twelve.

(This was then called the Brotherhood of the Foot Board, and was founded on the principles, sobriety, train, justice ana morality, which are still the leading characteristics of the union. The Brotherhood now has 442 divisions and over 57,000 men. This organization has elevated th standing of engineers, cared for the widows and children of brothers who are killed, and has protected th labor of lta members. At a convention in 1880 it was decided to publish a paper devoted to engineers alone, and this has been In circulation ever since. The Brotherhood has strikes bnt its policy is to exhaust every means to bring abont a settlement of any trouble before striking.

He said that uo officer on any railroad should obieot to his employe belonging to an association, an of whose objects tend to raise the standard of labor and to make employes more faith ful and better workmen. Miss Kate Bisselle, W. R. Walters and 0. B.

Rhoads sang a trio. "Th Magle Wove Scarf," very after which the band gave a selection, called Hun Rise." The stage was set as a drawing room with a foreground of ferns and potted plants, with a minature locomotive in tbe centre.
