JUG on ITS ROUNDS.

4 Camden County Preacher Who Dealt
Out Spiritual Com fort from the Pulpit
! on Sunday and spirttuous Comfort
from Demiiohn on Week Days.
Joseph Delk, colored, according to his
own statement is the pastor OF little
/ flock in Camden county II Adam Cum
mmgs and Moses Hamilton are 10 be be-
/ lleyed the Rev. Delk dealt out spiritual
comfort 10 his parishiouers on sunday
from the pulpit, and during tue rest cfthe
week he dealt out spirtuOus comfort from
I a jug az 80 cents a half pint.
A any rate Cummings and Hamilton
sWOre positively before United
( states Commissioner Locke yesyer-
! day that they had bought
tnat delIrious iutoxicant known as corn
whisky from Delk 10 quantities OF half a
pint at a time. Cummings said that he
got soc. worth from Delk on "lasJ watch
night which was Dec. 81, 1891. There
was quite a crowd at the cOlored Baptist
church near OVENS Ferry. and the wit
ness testified that Delk, the defendant,
had 2-gallon jug al the house OF Que
Bayard Williams, who lived near the
church. Cummings further declared that
on The first sunday OF 1850, he Went TO
Williams house aud bought gills more
from DeIk.
Moses Hamilton's evidence was to the
effect that ne bought half a pint OF corn
whisky from the pastor, at Williams
house IN Nov, 1854, and q ginger ale bot
tleful at st. Nary's on the first day Of the
April term OF Superior Court for Camden
county 1885. Hamilton was very posi-
tive about dates aud circumstances, and
said that be paid SOC. for the bottle Of
whisky. This witness also remembered
seeing two or three others buy liquor of
Delk.
The solemnity of an oath and the penal
~ for perjury were explained to tue de-
iendanr when he was put on the stand
He fatty cOntradicted the evidence OF the
TWO witnesses for the government,
saying that he could prove BY the
members Of his congregation at Bellview,
hat be was there holding service on the
night OF Dec. 81, 1851 Belview is said
10 be 50 miles from Williams house.
Delk admitted that ne was in st. Mary's
during court in April last, but denied
that be sold whisky TO Hamilton, or any
one else. He explained his presence at
court by the statement that he was sum-
nOned there to answer an indictment tor
selling liquor without a license. Delk
also admitted that he has been before the
Camden county court three times, charged
with selling liquor without a license. The
cases were never pressed, Delk said, be-
cause the State could not get any wit
nesses.
The Commissioner thought Delk'9 case
was proper one to turn over to the Dis.
trict court, and the Rev. Joseph was com
United to Jail.
Delk boosted that he could sell liquor
IN one end of the court house while the
Judge was holding court IN the other.

The Police Set to Work by Fixed Up

Telegram.
Gen. L. II. Anderson, Chief OF Police.
received a telegram yesterday from the
Chief Of Police of Meriden, Conn, askin z
for information of Daniel T. Sachs. The
telegram read:
"Dauiel II, Sachs, Of our city. found IN sa-
has charge OF sachs. NipOn does not ex-
plain. We want to know what ails sachs and
Is cause. We believe foul play. Explain
fully"
Sergeant Owen Reilly took the case to
work up, but no clue could be obtained.
About night, YipOn, who had heard Of the
telegram, went TO the barracks and
stated that be knew nothing of Sachs, ex-
cept that he aud Sachs were passengers
on the same steamer coming to Savannah.
Nip0n is employed at Davis Bros.
lie is Of the opinion that
sachs sent a dispatch TO his friends at
home and signed II "Yip0n," either tor a
hoax or to deceive the authorities. Vipon
thinks that Sachs had TO leave New York,
and, wanting to get back 10 Connecticut,
sent iXed-up telegram.
The name ID. L. Saebs appears in the
passenger list of the Tallahassee, which
sailed for New York yesterday morning.
Saebs and Sachs are no doubt the same
person, and he has, as Vipon supposed,
returned to New York. No such party
was found insensible In this city by the
police.

bestowed upon New York would necessa-

Cardinal McCloskey was the first cardi-

The growth Of the Catholic Church In this

ever, that there is no doubt felt about the
continuance Of the cardinals hat in New

favor Will be shown Ii Catholics in this
country than that. ana that before the hat

given to Archbishop Corrigan, and there
will be two cardinals in America. The
cardinals elect the successor TO the Pope,

condition and influence .of the church Is
taken into consideration, and there ls no
