Henry \. Freeman Convicted of Illegal
Voting In the Tenth Ward.

totthK III hdfus
The case of Henry x. Freeman was
continued at yesterday afternoon weeks
session of the United States court Dis.
trict Attorney Alexander B. Cooper in
his address to the jury referred to the
necessity the community is under of a
pure and fair election. The govern
ment has guaranteed this and the Off
cials are bound to protect the ballot.
Referring TO the defendants plea of
drunkenness the public prosecutor in
sisted that it is no excuse for crime.
The ballot must be protected and the
illegal voter punished in every instance.
In reply Frank d. Carpenter, Esq,
based his plea on the direct evidence
given as 10 young Freeman's intox-
icated condition, stating that he was the
tool of others and was unconscious of
what he is charged with.
Henry G. Turner, Esq, made the
closing address for the defence. His
argument was on similar line to that
of his colleague. File claimed that the
rightful occupant of the dock was the
man who put the ballot in the drunken
youths hands.
Mr.. Cooper closed the argument, ask
ing the Jury for verdict according to
the law and facts.
In giving his charge Judge Wales
made n thorough review If The testi-
mony. He referred 10 the seriousness
of the charge, and that the defence was
simply of drunkenness. The Jury had
hut 10 consider the testimony az to Free
mans condition. He closed in remind
ing the iury that counsel on both sides
had referred to the importance Of honest
elections,

clads were disabled In much the same
way. The rest of the fleet now coming
up, the fire became very hot SO the rams
backed off up the river having received
no damage. They were not followed.
This cast damper on the Italians; but
they resolved to land their troops and
take the city by storm. But by this
time 10000 rifiemen had assembled at
New Orleans and soon after
landing the Italians were com.
pletely routed, and with diff

It is likely that the next day they would
have retired, But now the fire RATS

rams and another protected boat. They
arrived about midnight in the vicinity
OF the fleet and at the proper time were
fired. The Italians at once opened fire
upon them, but they could not be sunk,
and they only succeeded in exploding
the petroleum barrels which only added
fuel to the flames The remaining iron
clad was caught by the flames and her
crew completely driven ont of her The
rest of the fleet tried to escape, but now
thousands of riflemen from both banks
Of the river, using the levees as breast
work, poured in IL storm of bullets that
swept everybody off the decks and the
ships became confusedly entangled and
fell an easy prey to the flames; all but
six or eight which managed to escape to
sea and made their way back to Sunny
Italy. The four iron -clads which had
been disabled had drifted ashore under
the influence of the west wind
Now, as all of the treasure which
had been taken out of the vaults at
Washington, and from the sub-treasury
at New York, and the ransom money
for New York city, had all been placed
upon the iron.clads it was all recovered.

like a fat goose by a third-rate European

historical sermon by DR.. Marks.

In Hanover Church Sunday morn
ing the Rev. DIR. Lafayette Marks gave
an interesting review of the Female
Harmony Society. The organization
he said, was the offspring of the Female
Praise Society, which was organized in
1914. Its membership was composed Of
the best women of that time. Their
meetings were held at their homes,
where they assembled to read the scrip
lures and sing psalms, and their sessions
were productive of much good, they
proving to be the foundation of churches
and schools. On October 14th, 1914, the
society established at Sixth and King
streets its first Sunday-school The
efforts of the society at that time We're
more commendable because the country
was involved in war. During April of
the next year the school was formally
opened, and during that year the name
of the society was changed to Female
Harmony Society, which organization
still exists. Soon after changing the
name of the society the Legislature was
applied to for an act of incorporation,
which was granted, as well as
pecuniary aid, which is still
granted to the Sunday-schools of each
county through the levy court. The
appropriation to each Sunday school
was made according to the number of
pupils enrolled. In 1878 the Sunday
school work had grown SO large that
the number of scholars who attended
the schools had TO be provided for by
other means. Subsequently a school
house was built at cost of about $500,
and when it was opened il was free
from incumbrance. This was stepping
stone to educational advancement and it
was soon learned that more school
houses were needed to meet the demand
and money was required to encourage
education. Children of the upper
classes could be educated at their homes
while the poorer classes were compelled
to go uneducated. The schools were
inaugurated to fit the latter class and
heirusefulness cannot be overestimated.
The work was not strictly confined TO
the education Of the white people, but
provision was made for the enllghten-
ment of the colored children. the
records of the society do not contain
the names of the original members.

the confusion the names of the parties
attacked were not obtained.

colored Jubilee at Hazel Dell Park.

The colored people of this city and
State are arranging to hold a grand
jubilee, festival and reunion at Hazel
Dell Park, near this city. 1t was origin
ally intended to hold it on the Delaware
State Fair grounds, Fairview Park,
Dover, but the report having been cir
eulated that the affair was grand col

let the grounds for the occasion. II was
given out that the idea was to hold the
jubilee for the purpose Of attracting
here negroes from Pennsylvania, Mary
land and other nearby states, and then
inducing them to remain, so that they
could be assessed and voted at the gen.
eral election next year. Failing to Sc
cure the grounds at Dover, the manage
ment came to Wilmington and rented
the grounds at Hazel Dell Park. The
jubilee will be held from June 18th to
goth, inclusive, and will consist of music,
singing, games, athletic contests and
other like amusementS.

The Conservation of the Episcopal
Sanctuary Mt Clayton.

i NahCtHHrN hN 1itftbHs
| One of the most interesting and impres.
| sive events which have occurred at Clay
ton during recent years was the consecra.
ton of the new and unique Episcopal
chapel, which ceremony was performed
| Thursday afternoon. At o'clock, the
hour set for beginning the service, the
building was filled by an enthusiastic and
devout throng, which included Superin-
tendent Holiday of the Delaware railroad,
Dover, A. q. Cummins ID. j. Cummins
and Robert Fl. Hill of Smyrna and citi-
zens of neighboring towns, Wilmington
and Philadelphia
A few minutes later a procession of
clergy composed of Bishop Coleman, with
staff in hand, and the Revs. &. w. Dame,
I: w, Gibson, George Beers, I. Gardiner
Littell, ID. D., Kensey ]. Hammond, IL.
Ashton Henry, w. H. Powers and II. l..
G. Braddon, the last named serving as
chaplain to the bishop left the residence
of Mr.. Mills and approached the chapel.
At the door, which was closed, the bishop
halted and knocked thrice, whereupon IL
voice from the inside inquired "Who
comes, here p to which the bishop an
swered ''the Bishop of Delaware in the
name of the Lord" The voice inside said
Enter in the name of the Lord and the
door being opened the bishop and clergy
entered, repeating the psalm for the occa-
sion.
The request for conservation was read
by one of the provisional vestry, DIR. w. Is.
Reynolds, and the letter of conservation
by Mr.. Dame. The sermon, which was
very appropriate one, was delivered by Mr..
Powers. The bishop followed in few CON
gratulatory remarks expressive of his
grateful appreciation of all that had been
done and given for what he aptly called
the railroad church." and concluding
with his earnest prayers for Gods blessing
upon the undertaking. The music was
admirably sung by well-trained choir of
good voices
The chapel, besides being unique, is I'M
usually pretty and has seating capacity
of about 200. Nearly 90 carpenters con
nected with the Delaware railroad gave
days labor, and some more, while the
building was being erected, and some
painters did likewise. Owing to the inter
est which railroad officials and employees
have taken in the movement the sanctuary
most probably will receive the name "0nr
Railroad Church" Mr. Dame, rector at
smyrna, will have charge of the chapel
The altar is a gift from the Sunday-school
of the Church of the Nativity, Philadel-
phia, Of which the Rev. Dir. .Iefferis, for
merry of this city, is rector. William
Taylor Of Middletown donated the pews
and considerable money. MIR. Mills gave
the lot and John Il. Book greatly aided the
movement financially
Messrs. Mills and Book kept open house
Thursday, The rite of confirmation will
be administered in the new chapel during
the afternoon of May 3lst

The Two-story Brick stable Owned by
william f. Seeds Catches Fire.

The two story brick stable of William
+. Seeds, contractor and builder, near
Seventh and Van Buren, streets, caught
fire at $50 Thursday night. The salarm
was struck from box No. 3, Fifth and
Adams streets. The firemen arrived on
good time considering the big hill that had
to be climbed. Smoke was found issuing
from the second-story windows and from
beneath the roof. The fire was evidently
in the second story and the flames had
not yet reached the first floor. The horses
and carriages were quickly rescued from
the stable and the department then gave
its attention to vigorous battle with the
flames in order to prevent them spreading
toa row of contiguous houses on Seventh
street.
The fire had probably broken ont in the
hay loft. Several drenching streams soon
thoroughly saturated the hay but it took
incessant work to extinguish the flames
which appeared along the roof caves and
window sashes. When the flames had
been gotten under control II was found
that the roof had been burst through in
two places and considerable part of the
woodwork of the second story destroyed
The first floor which comprises the stable
was entirely uniniured except from water.
The stable is all apparently new building,
5Ox20 feet One end of the upper story
was occupied by eolored family named
Scott. A part of the upper story was also
used as a carpenter shop. The sum of
$1,000 will cover the loss. There is full in
surance on the building,
