| THE SYNDICATE CONTRACT.
The House committee on banking and
currency seem to think that something
improper can be made out of the last
contract with the syndicate by Secretary
Sherman. one member of the commit
tee says that the secretary "gives the
syndicate $750,000 as commissions,
which Is not only useless, but an illegal
act of favoritism toward certain class
of bankers who are Shermaus personal
friends. The committee more than a
week since called on The secretary for a
copy OF the contract made with the
syndicate but the secretary has not yet
responded. If he fails to respond with
IN reasonable lime resol ution will be
| offered compelling him to do so. The
! secretary has admitted privately that
| i Y
| shall take any bonds over ten millions.
There is a great deal of interest exhibit
ed in financial circles over this matter.
| The Serate finance committee, as stat
ed by member, were influenced in re-
porting the bill agreed on by them in the
| belief Lnat the secretary had made an ab-
solute contract with the syndicate for the
sale of fifty millions of d per cents in
gold, and that this vast sum would be
available in fuItheriDg specie resumption.
IL is now hunted that not only has the
syndicate the power TO refuse TO take
over ten millions, but that IL will have
the privilege of paving for large pro-
portion OF the bonds in greenbacks. II
these suspicious should be confirmed
severe censure would properly fall upon

THE EASTER SERVICES.
Obseryanecs Of the Day at the
Various Churches

TIE Leuten season closed on Saturday
evening, and yesterday Easter services
were held IN nearly all the city churches
notably the Episcopalan and Catholic.
In the churches of other denom uatious,
the services were conf ued To sermons de
scriptive OF the day and the events 10
commentaries, but in the Episcopal
churches the Easter anthems were sung,
while the COLLECT, the epislle aud the gos-
pei were appropriate to the occasion and
referred particularly to the resurrection
of Christ. In the Sunday schools Easter
| carols were sung, aud all the churches
| were handsomely decorated In honor of
! the festive occasion.
AT THE CATHOLIC cHuRoHEs, 81
yesterday, the faithful saluted tie day as
delivering them from their rigid pen
ance All St Peters church, and in fact
| at all the churches of that denomination,
| as previously stated in the GAZETTE, the
| services were of more than ordinary in
| terest, it being the greatest of all Chris
tian festivals. The sanctuaries in all the
churches--St. Peters, st. PauPs, the Sa-
cred Heart, st. Mary's and st. james,
We're profusely decorated with choice
| flowers, in commemoration of the resur-
| rection of Him, whom the world be-
lieves "was crucified, dead and buried
descended into hell, and on the third
day arose again and ascended into hea-
ven" in order to save sinful race of peo-
pie, for Christians everywhere hail the
day with the giving of thanks and the
chanting of praises. Pontifical High
NJ ass was said IN st. Peters Church, at
1890 a. m, by Rt. Rev. Bishop Becker,
who also preached powerful and elo-
quent sermon, suitable for the occasion
to an immense congregation. In the
evening the church was again filled to
| overtlowing to hear the learned gentle
| man in sermon applicable to the fes-
tivities. Nespers, an evening song was
| also chanted during the evening by the
| choir.
| AT st. Paul's NJ. E.Church in the even
ing, Rev. eX-,Judge Caldwell, pastor, de-
( livered to the members one of the ablest
and most polished sermons ever listened
| to in thai edifice, the point and argument
| of which was against visiting circuses
| and theatres by Methodists, in violation
OF the discipline of that denomination.
OUTSIDE THE CHURCHES,
the day received the usual acknowledge
/ ments in the way of eggs and egg-nog.
| The latter was obtainable at many of the
| saloons, and one of its results was q
street row at Second and Shpley, which
occaSione an alarm of fire.
| During the morning st. Mary's Pioneer
| Corps attended service ut st. Paul's Gath
| Ole Church
The well-known Easter custom of
| "picldng eggs" whichis greatly in vogue
in larger cities, was not much INDUCED
in by the boys of Wilmington, though
one nrchin ambled around Sixth and
Market streets with eleven eggs in his
possession, which he had won by the
"pieking" game.
The amount of dye stuffs disposed of
by the druggists indicated that quite a
large amount of chen fruit" received
ltheir coats of many colors, while "young
America" on nearly every corner could
be heard asking his chum, CHOW many
eggs did you ear for your breakfast this
morning."

the story aboutth discovery OF silver
near Lancaster is all hoax. The story
may have risen from the fact that far

unearthed pot containing about Sl1oO

to be some trouble however as to who

THE MEETING AT CHEsTER-A LARGE

A FAILURE,


TURN OUT BUT THE SPEAKING
FAILURE. I ..t'
The much talked of tariff meeting, at
Chester came off in that city on Saturday
afternoon. The houses mostly were
gaily decorated with bunting, and the
streets were crowded with people. In
order that the demonstration should be
as large as possible ali the mills and
workshops in Chester, and those in the
immediate vicinity closed up, and the
employees were obliged to loose half a
day, winch the majority could not afford
to do. The parade which was the main
feature of the whole business, was COM
posed of wagons filled mostly by chill
dren and number of ladies. Half of
those who walked were boys, and to look
at them one would naturally exclaim
what do they know about tariff? The
line OF parade was about anile in length,
and started promptly at 2 O'Clock, and af-
ter marching around some of the principal
streets dismissed upon vacant lot above
the railroad. Here q stand had been
erected for the speakers and after the
parade had been dismissed those who re-
manned were called to order and Hon.
James q. Blaine, the first speaker, was
introduced and spoke for about ten mi IL
utes. He was followed by Hon. john
Nj. Broomall, and others. The speakers
excited very little enthusiasm in fact it
was almost impossible to get any ap-
plause. In fact thre were very few
around the stand to listen to them, and
IL was prevailing opinion among those
present that the whole thing was a fail
ure.
