Yesterday the colored people of the city commenced out-door service in a tent on Heald street, between A and streets, South Wilmington. Last even ing, of the audience of about 300, two- thirds were white people, who crowded out the colored population. These stood in disaffected groups about the outside, unable to gain admission. The police were appealed to to clear the tent of the white brethren, but this was not done. The services are under the control of Rev.

Solomon T. Bantum and will continue about ten days. Calling Upon the City Clerk. In the absence of his wife, Esquire E. B.

Frazer is lonely. Yesterday afternoon the city officials and members of the press, to relieve the clerk's monotonous existence, called upon him at his home. Mr. Frazer received his visitors cordially. In the course of the afternoon he very generously spread his table, and soon the larder was emptied of at least two weeks supply of provisions.

The city officials took their leave in the evening. Attacked With the Mania. On Saturday night a man with the mania was caught traveling along the coast. When approached by Officer Chambers he was engaged in killing imaginary reptiles. After much trouble he was induced to go up King street.

On his way to the hall he kept continually calling the officers attention to "the things," and asserting that he was being swallowed. Helped Out of a Dilemma. A score of young Wilmingtonians together with several Philadelphians desire to thank Mr. John Berry, a farmer living on the road between this city and Bran-dywine Summit Camp, for his kindness in furnishing them a conveyance to Wilmington, yesterday evening. The Wilmingtonians were left in the lurch by a drunken hackman, and had started for home on foot, when Mr.

Berry came to their aid. an opportunity seldom offered to the citi zens of Wilmington. xhe price, mty cents, is phenomenally low. The Charlotte Vanderbilt will leave French street wharf at 6 a. and returning leave Cape May at 4.30 p.

HHE "DAILY NEWS" 1M JL portant news of the day, both foreign and do tncU. Prtos 1 oni M.M per SUNDAY IN CAMP. Scenes and Incidents at Btandywine Summit Yesterday. Special Correspondence the Eailt News. Brasdywise Summit, August 15.

Bi Sunday has come and gone. It has been well called, as there were, without doubt, from 10,000 to 1,2000 people here. From early -morning until late in the -evening conveyances of every description came pouring in, and it was a subject of wonder how so many vehicles became sandwiched in and out, accompanied by as little profanity and ill-will as was dis- -plaved by the occupants. In fact all did what they could to, secure room for themselves and one another. The woods were completely filled with carriages, and the adjoining fields were taken possession of.

There were hack loads of people who came all the way from Chester. Of course it was a great tax on the managers who provide for the inner man, to supply this immense assemblage of people, but they were equal to the emergency, and Mana ger Oliver, of Lnion; ise ana I'enneli, yl Asbury, and the Siloam folks fed all who came to their tables, and as for St. Paul's tables, Managers Zeble'y and Garrett allow no huugry man to escape, and Manager Simpson, assisted by George W. Todd, allow no fed man to escape without paying or getting his ticket punched. The religious services have been conducted with their usual camp meeting fervor, and are no doubt doing a great leal of gooil.

The Ke v. John A. Roach, of Brooklyn, preached from the 3d chapter of 1st Corinthians, 5th to Tth verse. Although many years have passed over Brother Koach's head, irl3 strong voice reached the outermost circle of the immense audience which congregated to hear him. He held the attention of his audience for a full hour, and the univer sal cotillon was that it was an hour of profit to his listeners.

While Dr. Koaeh was preaching. Dr. Keables, of your city, was summoned to intend a young man named John who had been seized with a congestive chill. The doctor arrived just in time to save the patient's life.

McCannon nmnliiFoH hv tit a ITrirlan fc Wollincrc- worth Company. Dr. J. II. Caldwell preached at the af ternoon service.

He took for his text the 16th to the ISth verses of the 53d Psalm, and it is almost-unnecessary to say that tiis hearers had a very profitable hour. His sermon was of unusual interest. The Rev. Charles Hill preached this evening. His text was the 2Gth verse of the 9th chapter of St.

John, "Whereas was once blind, 1 how see," making three excellent sermons for one day. Presiding Elder Paxson displays considerable tact in making his selections of leaders in every meeting. In fact he is the right man in the right place. lie sees that ex cellent order is maintained, going so far as to publicly rebuke persons to-day who were houghtlessly smoking during public service. He also took occasion, during the 8 o'clock prayer meeting, Saturday morning, to make a fe- well-timed re marks In reference to the spiritual sue cess of the meeting.

He said there were two dangers in the vay. One was the fact that a great many came here for the sole purpose of having a religious picnic, and sometimes even leaving on tne religious part, bucn peo ple lie thought "dead wood" at a camp meeting, and hoped that, unless they al tcred their purpose, that they would pack up and go home, as this camp meet ing was for the saving of souls. The other danger was in the fact that camp meetings, as they had been conducted. were for the purpose of making professing Christians happier. He thought this all very good, but he would not give much for a 'Jhnstian who was not happier at tne sight ol unredeemed souls converted and turned from the evil of their ways.

ims was happiness for him, and he thought that that was what camp meet ings were instituted it afforded an opportunity of reaching a certain class of peopla Avho never accepted other means of seeking salvation. He thought the Church afforded abundant opportunities for Christians to seek a higher life and a closer walk with God, in the class meetings, prayer and other meet ings. He wanted to get right down to solid work of gathering in sinners, and it appears that the good work had commenced in earnest. The Rev. T.

C. Harvey preached a 'very eloquent sermon on Saturday morning and the Rev Enoch Stubbs in the after-, noon. The latter was very earnest in his discourse. At the conclusion, when he gave an invitation for sinners to come for ward, three or four people came up. Among the rest was an old citizen of Brandy wine hundred, accompanied by his wife.

Before the day was over there were six profesced converts. Among the arrivals on Saturday was Dr. Thos. A. Keables of Wilmington, and he proved a ministering angel to a great many on the camp ground who, like your correspondent, had indulged their appetite at the expense of their digestion.

The doctor waskept busy to-day flitting hither and thither at the call of the needy, and he looks upon it as a duty he owes as one of the family of worshippers here and will accept of no compensation. The. ministerial arrivals since my last report are the Rev. T. J.

Prettyman, Fox and Rev. Geo. W. Lelbrant of the Philadelphia Conference, and McCombe a former presiding elder of this district. The father of the Rev.

Enoch Stubbs has made several interesting addresses in the various meetings. Two prominent Market street merchants, one a jeweler, the other a "chinaman," "Westonaded" all the way to camp, to-day, and started back in the same way. Peach Shipments. The number of car loadsofpeacb.es shipped over the Delaware Railroad Saturday were as follows: Jersey City Newark Scran ton Syracuse Boston Bartford New pringlM Bridgeport Philadelphia Wilmington Cheater.
