President Joseph L. Carpenter, Jr., F. of tho attorneys for the company, Mr. Brewington of Bal timore and several directors w hand. They had with them a copy of a set nf resolutions, which they in tended to submit to the board for adop tion. It transpired, however, that the gentlemen had obtained from City So licitor Harman a draft of something which the Stroet and Sower Directors had intended to consider, and the pany's resolutions were taken from the paper which was obtained from City Solicitor Harman and which some thought tho department bad adopted. as these facts became known, which was before the gentlemen had time to make any request for action from tho board, Mr. Pratt expressed ■prise. He said ho was not aware that anything had been drawn up by tbo bourd, and if it had the board had or seen the drnft and consequently . He asked H. Hoffecker, A s did not know what it the gentlemen present hoiv they came by such a paper. President Carpenter of tho company said one of their attorneys hud got the paper and when he (Mr. Carpenter) saiv it he understood it was what the Street and Sewer Department intended to adopt and was of the opinion that permission had been given to see the draft in advance. As informed that such a draft bad been obtained he called a meeting of tho di rectors of the company for tho purpose of considering the supposed resolu tions. Accordingly tbo meeting w held Tuesday afternoon and a resolu tion. somewhat different from the paper they had obtained from Mr. Harman * drawn up, with the intention of asking the board to adopt it in place of the original. Mr. Pratt said he know nothing at all ubout the r not aware kind was in existence. Mr. Simmons made an explanation. He said that a few points had been jotted down and submitted to the city solicitor with instructions to prepare n form of resolution. The wholo thing It of tho meeting last Sat bo was supposed resolutions; he e that anything of tho urday afternoon. City Solicitor Harman stated that J. H. Hoffecker of counsel for tho now company, nnd Mr. Broivington, ivho is also interested,culled on him and stated that they had authority from one of tho directors of tho department to got from him a copy of tbo draft, and pursuant to this information ho furnished one. Each of tho Street and Sen tors denied having given such author ity, but President Chambers said Mr. Hoffecker had spoken to him about tho mutter and he simply told him that the draft was in course of preparation by Mr. Harman. He did not under stand Mr. Hoffecker to ask for a copy. J. H. Hoffecker, the gentleman forred to was absent, but F. H. Hof fecker, the other member of the law firm interested in tho business of tho now company, stated that bis partner understood that he had permission to obtain a copy of tbo draft before ho made application to the city solicitor for it. He also stutod that nobody but tho directors of tb^ company know what tho paper contained, that uo in formation whatever had been given out, whereupon Mr. Pratt replied that when the proposition of tho Street and Sower Department was in shape and bad been acted on it would be given to tho reporters for publication. There was evideutlv a misunderstand ing, and, as the members of tho depart ment staled that they were not, ready to act, tho representatives of tho tele phone company staled that they would willingly withdraw and await the ac tion of tho board. President Chambers informed tho gentlemen boforn tlfey loft, thill they would bo informed when the board was ready for them. They then took thoir departure, but left n draft of tho reso lution which thev bad intended to ask tho members of tbo board to adopt. On account of a pressure of other business the matter was not brought up at ail, but it was learned that it will be taken up aud acted upon in tho future. There is no question but that there was a misundeiBinding and that J. H. Hoffecker acted as ho thought ho had boon given permission to act when ho asked City Solicitor Harman for tho draft. Tl Mr. Harman, either, as ho thought ho going according to instructions a member of tho board. Every - evidently acted eon tho matter, and tho itiomoii present expressed regret at ng placed in an awkward position through a misunderstanding.

London, Dec. 7.—The Dally News to day publishes a letter from au American missionary at Marsovao, which gi details of the recent massacre there. Among other statements, the writer says : •'The storm broke ovor Marsovan at noon on the 15th, on the alarm that the Mosque had been attacked by Ar menians. Tho Turks at once made onslaught, on the market. There they seem to bave slaughtered the Arraeni right and left, wbilo others attack ed and looted private bouses. This bloody work began near our promises. Wo could hear the storm of yells and shrieks, mingled with pistol and mus ket shots and tho fierce battering at doors, and especially on tho side nearest tbo girls' boarding school. "The pandemonium reigned until it had spent itself there, and then it surged to tbo richer fields nearer the markets. The bullets came humming und struck the girls' school. Finally tho firing grew more distant. "We had two Circassians on tho premises who did good them to communicate to the Caimakan, whom they found patrolling the city and checking the bloodshed. He said he hud already sent soldiers to surround our premises. They were soon perceived in squadB outside the walla and allowed raid on our grounds. Towards night, tho Caimakan himself came and brought U9 a guard of 25 men, who re mained on the premises all night long. Their assurances were very fair, and God grant they may remain faithful and that tho mass of helpless boys and' girls, pupils in tho schools, huddled together in our housos. may be spared. "Aside from the fear of which might happen on our premises, the feeling of helplessness to do anything to check such horrid work is most distressing. One poor woman lay in the street where struck down from noon until night, just a few yards from the postern gato of our grounds. Wo could see her through the cracks, but were unable to roach or to aid her. " Turl lug rice. We sent IVO MAX S VFFRAOK. A Call for a AIhh* .11 «•«ting on December 17th and 18tli, to Organize a Delaware A State maBsmeetinp is hereby called by the National American Woman Suf frage Association, to bo held in Wil mington at the Unitarian Church, West street above Eighth, for the pur pose of organizing a Delaware State Suffrago Association on the afternoons and evenings of December 17th and 18th. The question of woman suffrage is aggressively before the people of the whole nation. Tho glorious example of Wyoming, where women have voted upon every question that men havo for 30 years, has answered every objection of the opponent. She has demonstrated that none of the fancied ills that theo rists declared must follow the enfran chisement of women, have proved true in the actual experiment. Wyoming unanswerable argument for the advantages of a government that knbws no sex. Thero remain but two States without an organization tc push the work for tho onfranchisemen i iff women. Delaware is one of these. The progressive spirit of the State will longer permit her to lag behind her ighbors in this line of inarch. The time to act is now. Wo earnestly request all the friends of the cause to bo present at this meeting nnd participate in its delibera tions.
