BIsHOP BEoKER'S pIsIT ABR0AD.
A RumOr That He is 10 he Created
an Archbishop.

A press dispatch from Baltimore says
it is generally understood in Catholic
circles in Baltimore that when Bishop
Becker of this city reaches Rome he will
have been elected to the ecclesias tical
rank of an archbishop, and will take
part in the deliberations of the confer
encs called by the Pope.
Father Fallon told representative of
the JOURNAL Monday morning that he had
not heard of Bishop Becker being created
an archbishop before he read the dis
patch, and he did not think the
Bishop knew anything about
it. While abroad Bishop Becker
will visit Germany and Rome on strictly
private business, not at sll pertaining to
tie church.
1t is true that an archbishop of phila-
delphia and several other arch bishops
are to be appointed, but who will receive
the appointments will probably be not
made known before the first Of January
next. 1t is not known who will receive
the bishopricy of this dioceae iii the
event of Bishop Becker being made an
archbishop. 1t may be some person from
this vicinity or it may be some one from
another section of the country.

Dover, Sept. IA new enterprise is
on toot % bnild large tug to ply be-
tween Draper's Landing, this place, and
Philadelphia. Subscriptions are now out
soliciting shares, and already sc, 900
have been subscribed. The stock per
share is 800. The amount to be raised
before the subscription books will be
closed will be between $4,000 and
$4,000. The whole amount will soon be
raised. The moneyd men all along the
creek are taking hold of the enterprise,
believing that in few years 1t will be a
paying institution. The tug Is to be
built by Captain Deputy, and will have a
length of los feet in keel ani beam of
% feet.
When bni!t she will be used for carry
ing passengers and freight to and from
Philadelphia. She will stop to all the
principal wharves along the route, and as
the creek runs through wheat growing
sectit n she will slways go we'll loaded to
the city. She will be ready for use by

psny to have several OF the points along
the cfesk cut off thus shortening the
distance to the mouth by several miles.
and the channel wherever needed deep
ened and widened.
Captain Draper, who is the father of
the enterprise, will make considerable
improvement around his wharf. He will
cut an extra channel on the east side OF
the wharf about 200 feet long for the
new vessel to lie in while she is being
loaded. Improvements, however, are
constantly going on at the landing The
york Of building will soon be begun.
Captain Deputy, the builder, has already

Reed Btrds-.t Broken Leg.
Special e correspondence of state journal.
ELKToN, Mn., Sept. 1.-The Delaware
City and Elkton base ball clubs played
yesterday afternoon on the grounds OF
the latter. As the score b4low shows the
hlktor nine took the lead at the begin
jug, the Delaware boys being unable to
tge, on to- McCullough's pitching. The
game unhappily was broken up at the
h. inning OF the eight inning, when the
Elkton nine was at the bat. The itcher
of the Delaware City club made balk,
which WAS the cause of Mccullough g
getting caught at second. The umpire
refused to cali balk and decided the
runner out. The captain of the Elkton
nine strongly objected to the decision and
refused to go on with the game. The
members of the nine with the exception
of the captain wished to continue on
with the game, being in the lead with n
strong chance of winning. George N.
Wright of Delaware City umpired the
game.
The following was the score by innings:
Elkton ............ / . 0 9 1 0 3-12
Delaware City ,.... 0 0 o 3 l.

rail birds expired yesterday. The sport

BURGLARS AT CEAYWONT.
Thieves Refuse to Steal Trade Dol
lars and Take Punched Coin.

The house OF Robert Casey, Jr., at
Claymont was entered by burglars be.
tween 5 and 7.30 Sunday evening and
about 300 in old and punched coin and
shinplasters taken. The family were abb
sent from home between the hours in
which the burglary was committed.
The thieves climbed to an outshed
kitchen and broke through second
story window. Gaining entrance to the
house and store they ransacked through
everything. From the store they took
quantity of cigars, and from the hon
the money. About so trade dollars which
were kept near the money that was taken
were not disturbed,
1t is evident that the family rsturned
home before the burglars had expected,
and fled without taking along the goods
they had collected with presumably that
purpose in view.
