A general discussion Is now going
on In Grand Army circles In reference
TO consolidating the several posts in
the city into one. Many are In favor
OF consolidation, and quite a large
number are opposed to it. Those in
favor of 1t argue that the ranks of the
Veterans are becoming thinned by
death, and there are but few eligible
TO recruit from. Then again, the ex-
penses are very great in keeping up a
largo number OF posts.
Those opposed to consolidation say
that there are too many jarring els-
nsents in the posts to think of CONSOLE
dation.
TX Department Commander Potter d.
Ayers is strongly in favor of consolida-
ton. He says that by uniting the
four posts, Smyth, DUPONT, Grant and
Sheridan, there would be one grand
strong post, which would promote
good fellowships. and bring the old
veterans closer together. The expense,
he says, must be reduced to one quar-.
tor what it now is, and this can only
be done by the posts consolidating
End meeting In ono hall.
70 the contrary are Colonel w. b..
Norton and Caleb Churehman, who say
that consolidation is impossible. They
say there ere from 1000 to 100 mem
beers in four posts In this city, and
nearly that number of old vets not
members to draw from. 1t Is evident,
however, that the time will soon come
when II will DO necessary to consoli
nase.

Although fruit is plenty and sugar
cheap, there is scarcity Of jars, which
has caused a great increase in the
price. Quart jars are now bringing
Sl.35 dozen, and it is probable that
within week they will be Sl.50. Very
few jars were made last year on ac-
count of the scarcity OF fruit, and as
none have been made this year, there
are but few to be had.
Quart jars are now selling in PhIla-
delphia at Sl.50 a dozen, and can
scarcely be obtained at that price, as
the demand, not only there, but also
in this city, is greater than the supply.
Whitney " Co, the largest dealers in
Philadelphia, who have perhaps, the
largest stock in tho country, have re-
fused S14 gross for a number of car
loads of jars,
The dealers In this city have been
fortunate in securing quite large
quantity, which they are prepared to
sell to their customers. Still, those
who wish jars had better secure them
this week as there is no doubt but the
price will be still higher than it now is.

MEssRs. EDrToRs:-Allow me space
In your valuable paper to ask whether
Detective MeVey is still hunting for
the negro, to make himself PROMINENT
On September LIST Inst. abont IL O'Clock
o. M, he called at Winchester Il Bros.
place, No. 1875 and l27 Buttonwood
street, South Wilmington, Del, pre-
tending to hunt evidence OF q watch
that had been stolen from Mrs. ID. Nj.
Lurge, on East Front street, between
Market and King. When he came to
Winchester Il Bros. place and there
finding some poor boys that were
working for Winchester Il Bro, and
Collins, he tried to make them ao-
knowledge buying stolen watch, and
went SO far as to say that they pur-
chased the watch, and after getting two
OF the boys on tho way, he said that Il
know you did not get the watch, but
l wanted you to prove it." II this Is
the way our county detectives have
to make themselves prominent by
hunting after our ignorant colored
people, they will have great deal to
learn yet before they can make them
selves acceptable before the intelli-
gent class of people. But he will say:
"Oh, IL only get the negro, that will
be the great game, and | will get there
by and by, after taking them before
the owner for identification. McNey
winked to the woman several times,
and she replied, 81 am not going to
lie about it. They are not the boys
that got the watch" How do you sup
pose he feels after trying to get the
poor woman to condemn innocent
boys by the wink of the eye? This Is
not sharp detective work.
