Tense of our departed brother when he
most needed friendsl
No NEW ARREsTs.-There have been no
developments in the case of the Dupont
barn burners since Gibbons and Byrne were
committed to Jail as the principals of the
affair.
Persons who are we'll acquainted with
the detectives say that every detective has
left the city and that no more arrests will
be made
This idea is secuted by some as the burn
er of the third barn has not yet been
brought to justice. Some say, however,
that one of the two men arrested, fired two
of the barns.
The hosiery factory at Dover, will soon
be ready for operation. Tho greater part
of the machinery has been placed in posi-
ton. The work was done by mechanics
from Germany. The first delivery is to be
made on December 10. 1t will begin to
operate to-day with about twenty hands.
The Delaware Electric and Supply Com
pany, of Wilmington, has been awarded the
contract to furnish the electric light plant of
175 incandescent light power. Thirty
knitting machines and twenty sewing ma
chimes will constitute the capacity of the
factory at the opening.
PoLK-FLINN.-Ye sterday afternoon. at
clock, James A Polk and Miss May
b. Finn, both of Newport, were married
at the home of the brides parents at New
port. The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. Julius Dodd. 1t will be recalled
that on March eth, 1889, the bride and
groom-elect were badly injured in rail-
road accident which occurred at the New
port crossing of the Philadelphia, Will
mingtOn and Baltimore railroad. They
were so badly injured that it was thought
they would never recover. They did,
however, but the accident left Miss Finn
a cripple for life.
PREsBYTERY OF NEW CAsTLE.-The
Presbytery of New Castle Friday, received
the Rev. N. H. Miller, D. D., from the
| Presbytery of Huntingdon, Pa, and pre-
sented to him a call from the First Church
of Newark. He accepted the call, and
will be installed on November 9Th w. ].
FitzimmOns of the Presbytery of Philadel
| pha. was examined for ordination and
will become pastor of the Westminster
/ Church at Georgetown, Md. In regard to
/ the committee of the General Assembly,
| upon the revision of the confession of faith
the Presbytery disapproved of the use of
! phrase. six creative days" instead of six
| days" and deprecated the omission to dis
courage marriages between PrOtestants
and Roman Catholics.
The Philadelphia Record under the head
ing, "A Reporters Nosegsy-a bouquet of
local OdOr for the breakfast table" has the
/ following Bishop Leighton Coleman, of
the little Episcopal Diocese of Delaware,
is a High ChurchmAn and u 9trOng cham
pion of many of the forms and practices OF
the Church of England. He believes in
hedging about the diocesan ruler with all
possible dignity, and the Episcopal resi-
dence at Wilmington reminds one of the
ways Of old England. Not long ago the
Bishop was in this city and registered at
the Continental Hotel as the Bishop OF
Delaware. There is hardly another Bishop
/ in the country who thus exalts the ecces-
iastical title and sinks his own identity.
