Camden Yesterday.

Camden Yesterday.
Especial correspondence of the Gazette.]
CAMDEN, May 0.-The Delaware Baptist
Union met in the Baptist Church here this
afternoon. number of the members
missed the train and did not get down in
time for the meeting, consequently the
number of members present was rather
small. A number of other members arrived
on the afternoon train.
Rev. A. G. Thomas, pastor of the First
Baptist Church of Chester, moderator of the
Union presided and conducted the opening
services.
The SECRETARY being absent Rev. E. j..
McKeever was appointed temporary secre-
tary.

the Committee ON Arrangements which was
adopted.

submitted report. A number of addresses
were made in regard to the report. Rev.

pressed himself very hopefully of the pros

A HARD ROW TO HOE.
SENATOR RAYARD TO OPPOSE
M'MuLLEN's RETURN.
SOME LOCAL NEWS OF INTEREST
The Attitude of Senator Bayard with
Reference to Major SwIggett and Marshal
fMcAIullen--HaFhl on Harrington.

A Washington special to the Baltimore
Day this morning says:
Major William Y. Swiggett was recently,
through Stalwart influence, represented
here In part by the notorious "DIck IIar-
rington" and by a rough-looking customer,
said to be /. N. Mills, Superintendent of the
Delaware railroad, In place Of William NJ
Pyle, postmaster ut Wilmington, Del
AS about all that is left Of senatorial
courtesy" is the privilege Of an absolute veto
by any senator Of an appointment for post
master at the office at which he gets his mail i,
II was entirely within the power Of Senator
Bayard to reject this appointuIsst, and as he
was much disguised with the whole move,
and particularly annoyed by the presence
of Harrington and Mills at Washington to
influence a Wilmington appointment, it was
at first very probable that Swiggett's nomi-
nation would be rejected. ~
Swiggctt has since called on Mr.. Bayard
and strong effort on his behalf has been
made by his friends, and It now seems likely
the Senator will interpose no objections and
permit him to be, confirmed. ..
His action with reference to the renomina-
ton of II. II. McMullen as United States
marshal for Delaware is not so certain
McMullen broke'a solemn promise he had
made to Mr.. Bayard and others during the
last Presidential campaign, and he may
have Il hard road to hoe before he gets his
Office again.

A PAIR OF THIEVES.

A House ON the South Side Completely
Searched and RObbed-The Robbers
Caught and the Stolen Property Found.
William A. Taylor, living on Heald street,
between Christiana avenue and Peach street,
ON the South side, is a spike maker employed
at the Diamond State rolling mill and is en-
gagged at night work. His wife moi desiring
to remain alone in the house during her hus-
bands absence, sleeps at the home of a
relative. This morning Taylor ON going
home found his house in confusion worse
confounded. Everything was turned topsy-
turvy, the kitchen door was broken, and
over the bed clothing red fluid of some
kind had been thrown, badly injuring the
linen. Bureau drawers were ransacked
closets opened and every nook and Granny
had been explored.
In the bedroom was found large club
which had evidently been taken UP stairs
with the intention of inHcting bodily injury
had any one been present to interrupt the
thieves work. Entrance was obtained by
opening sliding window in an out kitchen
and then breaking opena door with bar
Taylor, who had an idea who the thieves
were, was told by friend that man had
been seen around the house during the even
ing, and gave IA slight description of him. 1t
agreed with his suspicious, and officers Hart
and Ryan were notified and a search for the
parties was commenced ut once. One of
the first places visited was the Wilkesbarre
House, place of very unsayory record.
There the suspected parties were discovered
in bed, and promptly arrested. They were
taken to the City Hall and examined A
gold watch and chain, lady's gold neck
lace and awhite shirt and stud We're found
in their possession, Taylor does not know
how much else was stolen, not taking time
to make thorough examination before
notifying the police
In their haste the thieves overlooked a roll
of money in a bureau drawer, turning it out
on the floor where it was found under a
towel this morning by Taylor.
The prisoners-John Sonders and Harry
Thomason-are well known both to the
police and Taylor. Thomson had been
employed by Taylor at the spike works, but
was discharged few days since and another
man put in his place. Last evening about
s. o'clock both he and Sonders visited the
shop and looked through the windows at
Taylor, no doubt to see If he was ut work,
and volunteered the information that they
had ''come to see how the new man made
out" They then disappeard, and it is
supposed the ROBBERY was committed between
the hours of IL and 2o'clock The prisoners
will be given hearing this evening at Z
o'clock.
