Return Of Rec. j, Ha{d,,tan.

At Delaware Avenue Baptist Church
on Sunday morning, after the sermon
by Rev. Alex. Macarthur, E. F. James
read long and interesting letter from
Rev. l N. Haldeman, detailing some
OF the incidents of his European
trip.
When he tinishedaMr. ID. f. Buck
ingham arose and said he had a YER
bal letter to read. He said that on
Saturday he received despatch stat
ing that the steamship Ohio would en-
ter the Delaware Capes at 8 O'Clock D.
m. He proceeded to Philadelphia on
the evening train, and on the arrival
of the steamship met Mr.. Haldeman at
the wharf, and gave him a warm
greeting, Mr.. Haldeman had returned
on the Ohio, instead of the Illinois, and
thus reached home sooner than he ex.
pected.
MIR. Buckingham stated MIR. Halde-
man looked exceedingly well, and had
had evidently derived much benefit
from his trip. He started Saturday
night for West Chester, his former
home, where he will remain for q
month.
He will appear in the Delaware
Avenue pulpit on the first Sunday in
September, and will be warmly well
coined by his congregation.

Rer. Father Reilley's Viers

he sTERNLY REPRovRs THOSE WHO TELL,
POOR MEN TO STEAL.
At st. Mary's Catholic Church, yester-
day, Rev. Father Reilley took occasion
to refer to the trouble and excitement
engendered by the recent meetings at the
City Hall, and lawless utterances made
by some Of the speakers. The Gospel Of
the day was the parable of The Unjust
Steward, and in connection with it the
Reverend gentleman said:
This Parable of "The Unjust Stew.
ard" read in the mass of this Sunday,
suggests few words of warning
against doctrine preached by some
of those assembled at the late City
Hall Meetings, in which some said
they would steal before they would
let their wives and children starve.--
One at least of those who preached
this doctrine is reported to have paid
lately out of his months wages eight
dollars for his whiskey bill. To drink
ones wages when he has work and to
he ready to steal to feed his fam lily
when he has no work is criminal, and
those who live up to this doctrine are
OF the class condemned by St. Paul in
IN his cpistle to the Philippians (ch.
80
Enemies of the cross of Christ:
whose end is destruction; whose God
is their belly; and whose glory is their
shame, who mind earthly things"
In a country like this there is no
justification for stealing for wife or
children. The sober, Industrious man
can always earn enough to support
himself and family. In prosperous
times ne can deposit enough in SAYS
ings' bank to carry him through dull
or panicky times. He can save enough
IN summer to support himself and
family In winter. And if sometime 8
his savings run out, and he known to
be an honest, sober, industrious man
can obtain on credit what he needs, if
sickness or other misfortune befalls
him, there are always many benevolent
neighbors or societies to relieve his
| wants.

A MAN sTABs HIS TWO STEP SONS FOR

About IL o'clock, Saturday night, a
cutting affray occurred onp Orange
street below Third. between a man
named James Hazard, and his step
sons, George and William Pierson.
Hazard, it appears has not been
very faithful to his wife and when she
demonstrated with him on his unman.
ly conduct he abused him, Saturday
night she followed him out to house
of questionable repuite, and prevailed
upon him to return home, but on their
arrival he began to beat her.
Her two sons, George and William
Pierson, came to her assistance, when
Hazard drew knife and cut wicked
ly at them both. George received a
serere cash in the left side, and Will
liam received q cut on the left wrist
and another on the shoulder. They
rushed their assailant out of the house,
and around the corner to Third street,
when his lusty yells brought Sergeant
Whalen to the scene, and he was ar
rested. On Sunday morning he had q
hearing before Mayor Whiteley, and
was held in $500 bail for appearance
at Court.
The wounded men were attended to
by DR.. West, and their injuries are not
