AskIng for a Sew nreakwnter.

The Baltimore Board of Trade held a
special meeting last week TO consider
the memorial to Congress asking for a
breakwater at Lynn Haven Roads, as
suggested BY the Chamber of Commerce
Of Norfolk. The board adopted a re-
port stating that, in their opinion, such
a breakwater would prove very desir-
able, as it would enable vessels bound
in or out of Baltimore to reach safe
anchorage in stormy weather. 1t was
argued that breakwater so near the
capes would make Lynn Haven bay an
attractive port of call for orders for
Baltimore, Philadelphia or New York,
which could not fail TO benefit the ship
ping interests. The board concurs in
the petition of the Norfolk, Va, Cham
ber Of Commerce asking for an appro-
priation for this purpose, and requests
the Senator ard Representatives in Con-
gress to aid in securing it.

arraigned in the municipal court yester-
day week on a charge of assault and bat
terry upon Ollie Francis, colored The

near the left shoulder to depth of
about 3t inches. DR. N. b. Morrison
removed the blade with pair of plum
bers forceps. Ruth was discharged

connection with st. Mary's Church is
that of assistant pastor, but the superb
victory won for him by his people
shows the place he holds in their affec-
tiOns.
The story Of Father Flynn's thous-
ands and how 1T was obtained may be of
interest inasmuch as it is the largest sum
ever raised under like circumstances by
priest in this country. With the ex-
ception of $4,000 from friends in Phila-
delphia and former pupils and friends in
Louisville, Ky. Wilmingtonians con-
tributed the S13,28S.00 turned in by
Father Flynn. These donations were
not confined exclusively to the members
of the Catholic Church, though for the
most part the money came from people
of that religious sect. Since Sunday
last $S 900 were contributed to Father
Flynn's cause and Tuesdaylnight week
within an hour party of 10 or Is
men who called at the parochial
residence raised $1,000 and placed
the cash in the priests hand.
Several people, not of the Catholic
faith, sent checks TO the prelate, accom-
panying them by letters stating, in pur
port, that they desired by the enclosed
contribution to give endorsement to
Father Flynn's position upon certain
public matters. His campaign was so
quietly conducted that no one realized
the great amount of his collections, and
through his refraining from expressing
himself sanguinarily there was fear he
might suffer defeat and his friends raj
lied all the stronger TO his support.
1t is Father Flynn's intention to sail
for Europe about the middle of August,
to remain away three months. His four
ney may extend to Rome, in which
event he would doubtless be given a
personal audience with the pope,
Father Birmingham, though not the
winner, has earned the distinction of
being an active financial campaigner in
the cause. He labored with exceeding
zeal and his achievements make him
collector of the second largest fund ever
secured by priest under similar condi-
tions in this country. The yigor of his
canvass and the sum of his donations
give sufficient attcstation of his popular
ity and the esteem in which he is held
by the local Catholic community, If
Bishop Curtis would send him on some
pleasant mission abroad that would
afford him the delights of travel with a
vacation from duty, none would feel
but that he has well earned both.
CARD FROM FATHER FLYNN.
Editor Gazette'c6 JougRaL.. Permit me
through your colums to express to my
friends my heartfelt thanks for the grand
victory with which they have crowned
me. The amount of work and devotion
represented in a contest which has be-
come historic, attests a friendship for
me that has earned my lifelong graf
itude. With kindness to all, malice to
none, l am, very gratefully,

At the meeting Of the New Century
Club yesterday week, Mrs. McEvcry
state factory inspector of Eastern Penn
sylvania, spoke upon the topic of the
operation of the factory laws in Penn
sylvania, and Miss Grace III. Dodge ex-
planned the workings of the girls clubs
in New York city. By the provisions
of the Pennsylvania laws no child under
l2 years Of age can be lawfully employed
in any establishment where 10 or more
persons are at work. In Philadelphia
she discovered 200 children under 12
working each day of the week for 12
hours. 1t was thought proper by the
speakers that a factory law similar to the
Pennsylvania should be introduced in
this State. The meeting was under the
auspices of the philanthropy committee
of the New Century Club.

a Morocco Firm Entanrled.

A judgment for the sum of $4,000
has been recorded against the Pusey &
Scott Company, morocco manufacturers,
Third and Madison streets. A week or
so ago a meeting of the creditors of the
corporation was held, when full state
ment Of affairs was made and PROPOSE
tions offered as to an arrangement.
There is and has been for some time
general depression in the morocco bust
ness which has affected this city and
Philadelphia. The temporary difficult
ties have not affected the daily work of
the firm, and business is going on as
usual, with the full number of hands.

MILFORD, Feb. 13.-Charles Hollis OF
Houston, who was charged with felo-
nious assault and highway robbery by
George Smith, was arraigned be-
fore Justice Graham yesterday after
noon and easily proved that he was at
his home at the time Smith claims the
assault was made. 1t was plainly
brought out at the hearing that Smith
was very much under the influence of
strong drink and was not capable OF
taking care of himself at the time.
Hollis was discharged after his inno-
cence was proven, and Smith is still
mourning the loss of his money, $40 in
amount.

Unknown Man KilIed.

The Delaware division express train
due here at 9.42 a. m. struck and killed
an unknown man little north of Ches-
void Friday morning, The engineer saw
the man on the track only in time to
give three loud toots of his whistle. He
could not stop the train. The man was
struck and thrown into the air all in a
lump. The conclusion was so forcible
that the victims shoes were shot off
clear out into a field alongside. The
train was stopped and the remains
picked up and taken to Clayton. The
man was poorly dressed. He was about
80 years of age and evidently a tramp,
