Morning News.


Chief Hawkins stated last evening to re-
porter of the Morning Ne,os, in reference to
the charges of ex-Sergeant Decker, that he
had paid over to the men all the money re-
oeived by him for clothing. The order was
drawn by City Council In favor of Mayor
Wales for the semi-annual appropriation of
$25 for each officers clothing. In the case
of Decker and Officer Magee, who was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy caused by his re-
tirement, the Chief says he consulted the
Mayor and Samuel Speakman, Chairman Of
the Police Committee of City Council, and
1t was agreed that 1t would be an equitable
division to give each of them one-half, or
$l2.50. The reason for this determination
was that when the spring uniforms were
ordered for tine force Decker only got pair
of pants, costing him S., while Magee got a
whole suit, costing him SIG, in addition to a
hat, costing 81. In regard to the time
Decker claims to have served the Chief says
that he was suspended without pay on the
morning OF May 8 on charge of blackmail
by james Parker, and that he resigned May
IA in preference to the humiliation of being
reduced to the ranks as a patrolman, and
that his pay ended May 9: As to the threat
| that he will "make it hot" for the Chiei
| the latter says that he is not troubled on thai
| score.

Sad Picture of Moral Depravity-A Fallen

tRev. G. M. Pegg in Conference Worker.l
GEORGETOWN, CONN, June 25.-North-
erners are sometimes wont to reflect on the
corruptions of Southern life. But can a
deeper, blacker picture of social depravity
be furnished by any section of our land
than the one of which know as presented
in one of the most intelligent and religious
townships IN this State Under one roof
have dwelt for some time, brother and
sister who are father and mother of the same
children. Another of the same family has
for his wife a mulatto girl, while a third has
as his partner the wife of a miserable
drunkard living in the neighborhood. What
wonder such revolving scenes occur when
christian legislators sanction license laws,
free and easy divorce statutes and the desc
Grafton of the day cf God.
SO far as the Sabbath is concerned, be-
lieve under God that Methodist preachers
despite all their pretenses OF sanctity will
have answer to make for much of this hellish-
, ness SO prevalent and which disastrously
baulks the work of the church OF God.
We have not only encouraged Sabbath rail
roading and unseemly traffic at camp meet
Jugs, but have often made the trumpet Civ e
| a very faint or uncertain sound with respect
to questions relating to both private and
pub ic morality.

stood certain Lee with company of trav-

being seated few minutes stout, mus

across the platform to turn on the gas, when

Lee. DIR. Clark, of the First NJ. e. Church,
made a speech and urged the procurement
of $500 tent for summer temperance
campaign under Lee and his fiddlers. The
meeting having closed Nelson pushed down

i might be thorn in his godly enterprise,
revealed in a manner to my surprise the
adultery and hypocrisy in which he lived in
all his sojourn in Wilmington. He told me he
had kept saloon since l saw him in Della
ware, but he processes to be all right now.
