AForeman Honored.

An agreeable surprise was given by
the workmen in the truck department of
the Pullman Palace Car Company to
their foreman, Walter Chevans, last
evening, in the shape Of a handsome
silver pitcher, stand and goblets. Mr.
Chevans has been connected with the
Pullman Palace Car Company for a num-
ber Of years in various towns, and lately
in Wilmington. While here he found a
good opportunity to start in the
saloon business. He then bought
the saloon at the corner Eleventh and
Pine streets. FINDING his business large
ly on the increase he decided to resign his
position with the Pullman Company
The following is engraved on the lid of
the pitcher: Presented to W. Chevans
by his fellow workman in the truck de-
partment of the Pullman Palace Car
Co. g shop as a token Of their esteem
for gentlemanly and courteous behavior
while their foreman, November 10, 1885,
About forty to fifty of his former en-
ployes were present. The presentation
speech was made by William Ryan and
it was a model. After the presentation

THE alibi theory Of the defence in the
Cronin case lid not work advantageously
80 the defence. Mr.. Stiff, an intelligent
witness, put up for the benefit of that
jury aggregation, which the sheriff spent
two months to collect, testified that he
knew where Coughlin was on the night
of May 4th. He had taken drink with
him and fgbalen when asked how that
fact was impressed on his conversient
and ready memory, he said:
Because when got back I found an
order Oh the spindle for inquiries to be
made at all the livery stables regarding e
white horse such as was said to have
been driven by the man who decoyed Dr..
Cronin away.
Unfortunate Stiff That order was
given out sunday, May 8, because the
fact Of DR.. Cronin's disappearance was
not given to the police until Sunday
afternoon. Therefore Stiff and Whalen
drank with Coughlin the night Of May 8
and not the night Of May 4, and the alibi
proves nothing. Such a lying witness
would not be tolerat ID before a respecta
bic judge, but such testimony answers
quite well before jury.

King street saver Again.

The King street sewer, between Second
and Third streets, is again causing
trouble A few weeks ago water from It
flooded the cellar Of the Capelle Hardware
Company, which besides damaging lot
$500 that the city may have to pay for.
Night before last water from the sewer
flooded the cellar of U. l.. Jenney,
who keeps a dyeing establishment
at 210King street. Mr.. Jenney also is an
importer Of foreign cheese, Eve barrels Of
which he has also stored in his cellar.
The press boards used in Mr.. Jenney's
dyeing business were all spoiled and he
thinks that the cheese is also badly
damaged. The sewer is evidently too
small to carry off the sewerage in time Of
a heavy rain and should be looked after.

IT is obvious that President Harrison
does not worry at sll concerning elections
in those states where there is possible
presidential candidate for 1892. The
policy Of breaking into the Solid South is
simply policy Of securing the delegates
TO the national convention pledged to
Harrison II is the result Of a bargain
for mutual help. Foraker was not
assisted because he was a presidential
candidate in prospect. II he had carried
Ohio he would have been IN the race fol
the nomination for 1892. The President
carefully refrsined from assisting
Foraker. It is just the same with Ali
sons race for Senatorship in Iowa. Ali
son and Ingalls, are both in trouble, but
the President does not believe in inter
fering in state elections-that is. som,
state elections. The President is already
in the race for denomination.

THE meeting Of the knights Of Labor
at Atlanta gives the worl1iugmen an OPP
portunity to study some Of the questions
Of political economy from their own
stand point. Grand Master Powderly, 1t
seems, has studied the question of the
tariff to some effect He told the work
ingmen that the wages which percolated
through the pockets Of the generous and
noble manufacturers to them were not
affected by the tariff He told them that
an employer like Mr.. Carnegie is willing
TO give fair wage when he can take a
thousand day ont Of his concern but
when he feels poor and can only extract
five hundred day from his business he
deducts ten per cent. from the wages Of
his worklngmen.

The fourth mass meeting OF the Balti-

sion Society OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church was held at Grace Methodist
Episcopal Church, corner of Carrollton
avenue and Lanvale street, Baltimore :.
last night The principal address was
by Rev Jacob Todd. d. d., Of this city.
Among other things the speaker said .
1--WE do not need to go to distant lands
to find tine heather. Idolators, Moham-
medans, infdels and others worship or
refuse to worship according TO their re-
spective beliefs right under the shadow
Of our churches. The good and the evil,
the vice and the virture, the wealth aud
and the poverty, which are elsewhere
diffused' are here concentrated and iostle
each other at every street corner. Life
is vastly more intense in large cities than
elsewhere. The good become better and
the bad become worse by concentration.
In great cities trusts and monopolies
are formed for the advantage of the rich,
and here the proletariat matches com
munism, socialism and anarchy. On the
one hand we find here great charities and
elemosynary institutions, and on the
other dens Of wee and haunts of crime
like sores upon the body polite. If the
church does not conquer the world the
world win overcome the church. Even
il the church were willing to consent to
n cessation of hostilities the world will
not lay down its arms nor cease its en-
eroachments. The church mnst invade
every section Of the city and evangelize
every square, or the unconqured forces Of
evil will gather head and abslish our
Sabbath, drive the Bible from our public
schools, overthrow all law an order, and
spread anarchy and atheism over all the
land -

PORT wARDENs MEET.
The Speed at Which Steamboats, Shall
Sail the Christiana Determined.

The Speed at which Steamboats, Shall
Sail the Christiana Determined.
The Board Of Port Wardens and repre-
sentatives of the steamboat companies
plying on the Christiana held meeting
last evening at the rooms of Hoffecker
and Hoffecher. The object Of the meeting
was to settle about the rate of speed at
which steamboats, will be allowed to run
on the Christiana.
The Wilmington Steamboat Company
and the II. A. Haber already have suit
before the court for over running the
speed prescribed by law. which is four
miles per hour for ell boats except the
Haber, she on account of her small size,
being allowed to run FIVE miles an hour.
The first difficulty is that the current
in the Christiana runs Al miles per hour.
Captain Blake and Lieutenant Butt of
the United States revenue cutter
Hamilton, we're present and made tests
Of the steamboats, of the companies men
toned above, and their decision was that
10 run at a rate OF four miles per hour
was impracticable, and in many cases
impossible. The test made of the
City of Chester showed that the
lowest speed at which she could be run
was 6a miles per hour and the Brandy
wine at ~ per hour, while the Haber
could make steerage way at six miles per
hour The matter was settled by the
presentatives Of the steamboat com
panies agreeing to run above the P, w.
& B. railroad bridge below the mouth of
the Brandywine creek at the rate Of from
Ga to "a miles per hour.
