NEW YORK, December 8.-PoliCt
Commiss ioneTer Jourdan, of Brooklyn,
to day called all the police captains be-
fore him aud instructed them, when
enforcing the penal code next Sunday,
not to interfere with BARRIERS, except in
the sale of cigars, nor with bootblacks.
Newsd dealers are not to be interfered
with except they hawk newspapers
through the streets. He told them no
manuel labor was to be performed, and
stores could be open for the sale of but
ter, meat, fish, bread and milk until 9
O'CLOCK in the morning. Drag stores
could sell drugs but not cigars, Con-
tecUioners must close. Public travel
was not to To interfered with, ard
Jews were to close their stores the same
as Gentiles.
In the cases of Victor Helby, mana
ger of the Atlantic Garden, aud Harry
Hill, who were arrested for conducting
"sacred concerts" on Sunday last, the
Court to day held that sacred concerts
were not forbidden by the new penal
code, and dismissed the complaints.
A number of Israelite merchants in
Avenue B, this city, have obtained in
the Superior Court temporary injunc-
ton restraining the Police Commis-
sioners from interfering with them in
their Sunday trade. A Christian baker
joins with them, claiming that his bus
ness is q necessity. Israelites are ex-
empted from the operation of the code
where they prove shat they have kept
"holy" another day than Sunday. The
cases will be argued on the 18th inst.

There was not crack in either the door
or shutter through which the shot could

ing Chas. Nugert was arraigned on the
charge of vagrancy and was sentenced
to 60 days.
Frank Jackson, the colored man who
vas arrested two or three days ago with

The House Committee at Washing.
ton in preparing fer tho next year es-
| Inmates for improvements of Rivers and

eighteen miles, ana diSohNrging int
The Delaware bay about the same dis
tance north-north-west from Cape Hen
lopen, MispilIion is one Of tho more i'm
portant of tie Delaware streams by
reason of its considerable ship building
industries and the high reputs Of it's
native white oak tim Der.
GAS is the case with nearly all the
streams tributary to Della ware bay, the
most serious distractions to navigation
are found at Ghe entrance. For the
maintenance Of channel entrance Of
any desired depth, it is necessary not
only to prevent the intrusion OF SAdd
ut the mouth, but the transporting and
distributing action Of the waves and
tidal currents of the 0ay rs well.
For these purposes a iatty should be
built, starting from the north side Of
the entrance, w.rh reliable shore con-
neCtiun, and eXtruding out into the bay
TO at least the deUh desired. Along
this jetty the ch ,nno may be dredgOI
to such depth and width ~ shall make
it available for the vessels which are to
use it. Th5 low water navigation of
the MisniiIlOn is about six feet, and,
under ordinary circumstances, it would
be desiraDe to continue this depth into
the bay, but the rise Of the tide in the
bay is ABOUT four and half feet, while
at Milford the rise does not exceed two
and a half feet. The entrance dep h,
therefore, might be reduced to four feet
at low water without serious disadvan-
tage and with larger taving in tie
cost of the necessary works.
The cost of a four-foot low water
channel will be SOD, 900, and for three.
foot channel, $4,000.

Abou. The DuPOn, Family.

|
The Government having agreed tt
pay SlO, 600 for the base of statue Of
Admiral DUPONT, to be erected in the
square opposite Mr.. Blain's house and
Castle Stewart, 1t is incumbent on tht
admirers of the Admiral to collect the
money to pay for the statue itself, and
Mr.. Bayard, of Wilmington, is said to
have the matter in charge. The Du.
Pont family has much better origin
In France than many more vaunted
families. M. Theirs says in the first
chapter of History Uf the French
Revolution:"
The opposition was secretly directed
by DUPONT, q young man gifted with a
capacious mind and possessed of greay
tirmness and perseverance,, who alone
perhaps amidst the present troubles
mad future in view and designed to
lead his class, the Court and the Nation
to an end very different from a parlia-
mentary aristocracy." This was Just
before the calling of the National AS.
sembly. As the Revolution progressed
the sons of this Du Pont became alarmed
and started to the United States to en-
gage in the manufacture of gun pow
der, in which they had much skill.
They bought tract of land between
the Brandywine Creek and the Deia-
ware river, in the vicinity of the ris-
ing town of Wilmington, and when
they were we'll established their father
came out and lived with them some
years, or from 1895 to 1902, when he re-
turned 10 France and took a position in
the Government, but finding that Ma
pOleOn had again landed in the King
dom, he resolved never to live in his
native country again, and came over to
Delaware and there he died about 1917,
at the age of seventy-nine. This Du-
Pont was called De Nemours to diStin.
guish him from DUPONT DeLeure. He
was an assistant of Turgot, the great
eonsel vative genius of France,i in states
manship, and tits said drew the draft
OF the treaty by which England recog.
niZed the Independence OF America.
The DuPonts, generally maintaining
superior soci al self-esteem to their
plain Quaker manufacturing neighbors,
have yet made marriages among the
respectable people OF Delaware, and
have now and then contributed a scion
to the Army and Navy. They have
generally been Wings or Republicans,
and when John M. Clayton left the
Cabinet he wrote to his successor,
Crittenden, warm appeal to put Dn-
Pont in foreign position. Whining
ton attracted through this family many
distinguished French exiles, such as
Marshal GrOuohy and Wolfe Tone, who
held a French military commission,
also lived there. During the yellow
fever in Philadelphia at the close of the
last century, Wilmington was full of
Government officials, and some real
mobiles of the old regime had to engage
in school teaching in that peighborhood
