A GOOD RESOLVE.
Dervisch Pasha VIII Preserve Order, and
Pledges the Sultan's support.


LONDON, June 0.-The correspondent of
the Times at Constantinople telegraphs that
in consequence of the recent threats of the
military party against the Khedive, Lord
Dufferin, the British Ambassador, suggested
to Said Pasha, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
that Deryisch Pasha be instructed TO at once
take measures to secure the safety of the
KhediVe.
The Times correspondent at Cairo, COM
menting on the current surmises as to the
personal danger of the Khedive, saws
"Every day we hear of the disappearance of
the humber enemies of Arab Pasha and of
atrocities which recall the Inquisition.
Unless the Khedive can be induced to go to
Alexandria, Europe may have to deplore a
crime for which England and France will be
considered responsible"
A dispatch to the Central Nens from
Cairo says Dervisch Pasha has given the
khedive the strongest assurance of the Sui
tan's support. A peaceable adjustment is
consequently hoped for.
A dispatch from COnstantinople to Reuters
Telegraph Company says it is understood
that the Porte reailirms its objections TO Il
conference.
CAIRO, june 9.-Al the Consuls-General
separately visited Derysch Pasha to-day
except the representatives of England and
france, VINO called upon MIN together.
Deryseh Pasha said he hoped to succeed in
arranging the present difficulties. Deryisch
Pasha gave audience to-day to the President
of the Chamber of Notables and the greater
portion of that body also to Sultan Pasha.
He declared that he was resolved to restore
order, and that, if necessary to that end, he
would himself assume the Ministry of War
The military party attempted to establish
a sort of espionage over Dervisch Pasha, but
he has managed so as to prevent the carrying
out of their designs.

toms Chief Magistrates In the Past.
A valued correspondent writes
Since our recent election for the chief
officer Of our city 1t will no doubt be
pleasant and interesting TO all our citizens
to familiarize themselves with the names Of
those who were in bygone days our former
mayors, and their terms Of office, since the
incorporation of the borough into a city in
the year 1882.
1S32-Richard H. Bayard, Wing.
1S34-Nicholas G.. Williamson, Democrat.
1843-Dayid G. Wilson, Wing.
1S45-Alexander Porter, Democrat.
1849-William Huntingdon, Democrat.
All these were elected by the City Coun-
ell, their term of office being one year, and
the incumbents eligible to reelection, one OF
them, N. q. Williamson, was reelected for
eight successive years. In the year 1850 this
mode of election was changed and since
then the mayors have been elected by the
people, with the exception of John NJ.
Turner, who was chosen by the City Council
In 1853 TO serve for the unexplred term OF
Vincent G. Gilpin, who died in that year,
then follows:

THE CaRIsTIANA JETTY.
Work Commenced and Many Piles Driven
some of the Materials Required in the
Undertakings.

some of the Materials Required in the
Undertakings.
Work on the Christiana jetty, n full de-
scription of which appeared in the papers at
the tlmc it was decided upon, was com
menced on the lst of May by Isaac Neve-
ling 81 Son of Philadelphia Already n num-
ber of piles have been driven, and two steam
pile drivers are kept at work. About
dozen men are now employed, nearly all of
whom bunk in II frame building on buoy
wharf, near the light house, near which
place the jetty starts. The total length of
the jetty will be 40 feet, the width being
l3 feet 8 inches ior'G00 feet, IL feet 6 inches
the remainder of the distance. The first
600 feet from the shore will run out straight
from the starting point, when the remaining
$50 feet will make II slight curve toward the
south-the jetty being north of the mouth of
the Christiuna. The piling, which is to be
filled with stone ballast, will be four feet out
of water at low tide, and covered to the
depth of one foot eight inches at high tide.
At the river end of the jetty there will be
pier - feet square, 10 feet above low water
ON which light will be placed for a naviga-
tion signal.
The labor has been considerably delayed
by the unusual high tides and as soon as
| that difficulty ceases to exist the force of
workmen will be largely augmented. Some
| luGH bl VIC NOllIdcl, WHICH WAS lOT
| S33 900, can be estimated when it is known
| that 1900 hemlOck piles will be used, vary
| ing in length from 30 To 81 feet and about
| II inches in diameter. 1t will require 800
cross-ties to hold the piling together and go
galvanized iron tic rods viii be brought into
requisition, besides 2,229 one and a half inch
drive bolts, ,244 three quarter inch and SO
one inch bolts. Then nearly 600 spikes
eight inches long and great number of
other bolts, spikes, etc, win be necessary.
| Besides the articles mentioned 1l,374
cubic yards of stone ballast will be needed
to fill in between the pilings. Much Of the
broken stone, the contractors say, they eX-
pect to get from the House of Correction in
! Philadelphia, while some will be procured
| in this vicinity.
The work is no child's play, and the men
as they walk over the timbers just above the
waters edge, reminds one of large cats prac-
tsing gymnastics on back fences. The con-
tract calls for the job to be completed by
the first ofneXt October, but some doubts
exist as to whether 1t can be finished by that
| time.

From wilmington to Delaware city.

Notwithstanding the cool season the farm
lands in the lower end of the county never
looked brighter and greener than they do
now. The grain, grass and clover are grow
ing finely and large crops are promised,
while with few warm days the corn will
fairly jump, although it is not now more
than six inches out Of the ground. A drive
from Wilmington to Delaware City on one
of these delightful June mornings is treat
not to be had every day in the year, The
roads yesterday were in good condition, the
hedges ilourishing and well trimmed, the
grain waving gently, the birds singing
sweetly and fitting in great numbers by the
wayside. Nature seemed satisfied with her
self; the air was balmy and scented with
clover and honeysuckle, and the surround
ings tended to make one feel that living was
not such hardship after rall-notwithstand-
ing the fact that now and then mouthiul
of dust put an abrupt termination to an ami
mated conversation. But then every pleas
ure has its alloy.

ATTEMPT TO ROB.

A Door FOrceu Opeh III Ftne heitr OI u
Store.
When William McElwee was opening his
furniture store, 504 Tatnall street, this
morning, he found that a persistent but un=
successful attempt had been made to enter
and rob his store The cellar of the premises
is entered by doorway opening on an alley
leading into the vacant lot back of Donahoe' s
bottling establishment. There is double
door, which is locked and further braccd by
two wooden bars resting in iron staples. A
''jimmy" had been freely used on the right
hand door and the bars inside had fallen
down. A block on which the top hinge of
the left hand door was screwed was torn
from its place, and an opening was made
large enough to admit mans hand. No
other signs of the robbers work were found
and it is supposed they were frightened off
before efTecting their object. Noclue is had
as to who the raseals were. Some of the
neighbors say that about o'clock this
morning the dogs in the vicinity made a
great disturbance, and no doubt their bark
ing drove the intruders away.
