A Church II ObbOd.

Some tins between Sunday the
9 the inst., and the following Thursday,
some robbers effected au entrance
through the window into the Clay
mont Methodist Chnrch and not being
bent upon any good purpose seized
the marble top communion table and
attempted to carry it off. This proving
too cumbersome and heavy they lett it,i
a class room and contented themselves
with ripping up and carrying off about
80 yards of good 'lgrain carpet which
had but a short time before been
laid. When the congregation gathered
on Thursday night to hold service they
were surprised to find their church
denuded stripped Of its carpeting by
robbers but they have no Clde whatever
as to who the guilty parties are.
On last Sabbath morning, after
preaching, the pastor Rev, D. Dodd,
made statement to the congregation
and suggested that the basket collection
be appropriated toward assisting in Sc
curing another carpet. When the bas-
ket had been passed through the con-
gregation, it was ascertainod that the
sum of SS6 had been raised for this pur.
pose.

TheTFue Version,
For the REPUBRICAN,


MESSRS. EDITORS:.-A A recent issue of
your paper contained communication
from Newport, signed by witness in
which ne stated that the game Of base
bail played on the 10th inst, between
Our Boys, Jr., of this city and the Red
Stockings of Newport, was misrepre-
sented in reference to the RedStoCkings
being composed Of men, which your
correspondent, who was evidently a
member of the club, emphatically
denies and says that there was only
one man in their nine while the visit
ing club also had one man. Your cor
respondent must have been an interest
ed party or else he had an object in
publishing such false statement, 70 E
it would be impossible for him to prove
his assertions. In the first place the
pitcher and catcher of the Red Stock
ings' were both men and members of
the Acme Club of Newport, TO whom is
due the victory achieved The rest of
the club, while they may not have at.
tanned to the age of manhood, are all
overgroWn boys and have the appear
anCe of men, but Notwithstanding that
fact, the Our Boys would have defeat
ed their opponents, at every point, ii
they had not secured the services ofthe
pitcher and catcher from the Acme
club, who did all the "skillful" ball
tossing. The two men alluded to will
testify TO the above and will also say,
AZ they have already stated to two wit.
nesses present, if it had not been for
them Our Boys would have come off
victorious. The man alluded to as
playing with Our Boys, was an over
grown boy and the poorest player in
the lot, while the men in the other club
were excellent players. 1t is to be
hoped that when the Newport nine
meets another club from this city they
will present their own team.
FAIR PLAY.
The aboveis substantially verified
by two of Wilmington's most promi-
nent and reliable business men who
witnessed the game and the character of
whom is irreproaChable. REPORTER.

Not 10 be StOped Dy Dea,h

Last Monday a marriage was cee.
brated in Madawaska, Me-, with much
festivity ard enjoyment, in spite of cir
cumstaDces which would have cast a
gloom over an ordinary wedding party.
The bridt groom was the son of Vetial
Du Peur, who for many years has been
terryman near Little Falls on the
Upper St. John. Late Sunday evening
he crossed over to the provinces to pro-
cure some liquor wherewith to enliven
the next days proceedings, and having
made his purchases shouted across the
river to his father to come and take
him back. The old man started in the
darkness, but failed to reach the other
side, and is supposed to have been
drowned. The son procured another
boat and search was made. but no
trace of the old ferryman was found.
The next day the wedding programme
was carried out with great enthusiasm,
to which the mystery of the previous
night seemed to give additional zest.

arises, why? Simply because they
study the peoples interests-iu the first

by close attention TO business, doing as
they promise and doing promptly what
they undertake; allowing no one to be
dissatisfied with any purchase made of
them and, in fact, they try to make
every sale in such manner as to make
it an advertisement for their House.

OPPRESSION.
Two CIR EAT STATES COMBINE
TO CIR USH D&LAWARE ON AZ
COUNT OF PME PILOT LAW.


The following notice has been pub
lished in circular form: n. a.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2l, 1882 -
This is to give notice that on and after
September 20, 1882, and in accordance
with the resolution of the Board of Port
Wardens Of Philadelphia, dated Sep
tember 20, 1882, no Delaware pilot will
be allowed to cruise on or to be taken
Oft from outward bound vessels by the
pilot beats, E. G. knight, John G.
Whilden, Thomas Howard, or Enoch
Turley; and the undersigned, on behalf
OF the New Jersey and Pennsylvania
ri lots licensed under the laws of Penn
sy lvania, formerly and publicly give
notice that they have dissolved all con
nection with the pilots licensed by the
State of Delaware and will hereafter
work entirely independent of them.
JACOB A. MARSHALL,
GEORGE H. CORNwELL,
For pilot boats Thomas Howard and
EuOch Turley.
j. j.. ELDBEDGE,
For pilot boats E. G. Knight and JoL n
G. Whilden.
The Philadelphia Ledger referring to
the alliance says locally:
The Pennsylvania and New Jersey
pilots have entered into an agreement
by which they will hereafter operate
under the Pennsylvania law of 1881,
and act Independently of the Delaware
Pilotage law and the pilots lisepCed
under it. By the new regulations
pilots bringing vessels into port are
entitled to pilot the same vessel to sea,
and are likewise prohibited from
charging more or receiving less than
the legal tee. The charge has been
made that the plots operating under
toe Delaware laws have persistently |
refused to enter into any agreement for |
better service, aud have repeatedly |
imreded and are continuing to impede |
the commerce OF this port by Offering
distractions Wheneye or possible.
The Philadelphia Record if possible |
still lmore bitter in the feelings against
the rights of DelawG . in referring to
the matter says:
The business community of this city,
as we'll as the pilots themselves, are to
be congratulated OF what promise to
be satisfactory settlement o. the pilot
age question. The pi OTIS of Pennsylva-
MIA and New Jersey have now agreed
to come in and work under the Penn.
sylvanta law Of June, 1881, that we
think it will not take long to convince
them and they have done the right
thing. y The substantial accord
between the Port Wardtns, the pilots
and the various bodies representing the
merchantie and maritime interests of
the States of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey is much to be commended. We
do not doubt that in good time the Della.
wara pilots will fall into line. They
cannot do better,

Stray Horse and Carriage.

About II O'Clock yesterday morning,
a horse attached to buggy came run.
ming down Front street and was stop.
ped by Mr.. William Pennell, Jr., at
King street. The team evidently be-
belonged to physician, as there was a
case of surgical instruments in the
buggy. The carriage had the letter X
on each side. Mr.. Pennell took charge
of it fer some time, and not being able
to ascertain who the owner was, turned
it over to Sergeant Decker who drove it
up to the hall. 1t was but short time
until word was sent to the Chief of
Police by DR.. Kittinger, notifying him
of the disappearance OF his team and
requesting that the officers be on the
lookout for it.
1t seems that DR.. was in a house at
tending to a patient and when he came
out the horse and carriage were gone
and he naturally supposed they were
stolen.
