About 1.So O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, while Captain Kersey and Officer
Buck were standing at Twelfth and
French streets, they saw William II.
Faulkner, a noted chicken thief, CON-
ing along with bag on his shoulder.
They watched him for few minutes
and then called for him to stop. In
and threw the bag in an alley.
The officers gave no attention to this
but pursued the fugitive, who lodged
through a number of alleys, until fin
ally he was stopped by bullet in the
back of his head. He was taken to
police station, and when the officers
asked him what was In the bag he had
thrown away, he said 1t contained his
overcoat.
They went to the place, and instead
OF an overcoat, found six fine chickens,
five OF which are Plymouth Rocks with
their necks twisted. Upon being con-
fronted with this evidence he gave the
same old chestnut, that he had bought
them from a man that he did not
know.
The bullet In his head was extracted
by Police Surgeon Baird, and he APP
peared in the dock this morning with
his head envel oped In bandageS. AZ
the State was not ready to proceed,
he was committed. in default of 5000
bail. for further hearing tomorrow
morning.
Faulkner is one OF the most noted
chicken thieves In this city, and al
though he has Rugged the posta num-
Der times for this oifense, 1t does not
seem to have any effect upon him.
Some years ago he was connected
with band of chicken thieves In this
city, who became SO bold that they
brought the chickens into King street
market and offered them for sale. Tho
gang was broken up but Faulkner Is
''5till carrying on business at tho old
stand" He has recently been released
from jail, but the punishment does
not seem to have had any effect upon
him.
He lives at Twelfth and Elizabeth
streets, and was on his way home when
noticed by the officers. The chickena
are now at police station waiting iden.
tilication, and any one who has lost
chickens will do well to call. Captain
Kersey and Officer Buck are deserving
OF the greatest credit for making tho
arrest. and putting this noted thief out
of the way Of committing further dep
relations.

Rev. Jas. T. yanBurkalow filled the
morning and evening, and Rev. John
White Of this city, preached at Mt.
Lebanon NJ. L. Church in his absence,
to a fair sized congregation. He read

on which he based his sermon, which
was a plain and practical one, and
was listened to attentively through,

the past week, and will be continued
every night this week except Monday
and Saturday. Thus far there have
been but one or two conversions, but
others have doubtless been nearly per
suaded to become christians.

When four Of the detectives first came
to the Clayton House to board. the
suspicious OF Mr.. Pyle, the proprietor,
were aroused In regard to the m. Their
mysterious actions led him to believe
that they were Crooks He went to
his clerk and told him he had better
collect the first weeks board from
them as they had very little baggage
along and might play them the slip.
The clerk advised Mr.. Pyle to hold
on day or 80, and In the meantime
one Of the men came In and paid for
all. They remained for sometime
afterwards and from the immense
number of letters they received he
supposed them to be concerned in
some great lottery scheme. Though
everything is apparently quiet on the
surface now, there is no knowing how
soon something exciting may turn up.
The detectives are here and they are
not hanging around for nothing.

The coroner'e inquest In the case OF
Charles ID. Henry met at the coroners
oiflce on Saturday evening at z O'Clock.
The body Of the deceased had been
found floating with the tide down the
Christlana on Saturday morning, and
was rescued and brought ashore by
George Sullivan and Thomas q. Wash
When Coroner Sparks took the body
to the morgue, 1t was fully identified
by Loughlln and Joseph McLain as
that OF Charles d. Henry. their half
brother. all three of whom were work
ers In the Old Ferry Rolling Mills and
boarded at Mulrine's at Church and
Lord streets. All the brothers came
from Providence, Rhode Island, the
deceased only some ten days before he
was missing.
Mr.. Henry disappeared early on the
morning Of the 18th day OF October
the day after the great flremen's pa
rade. His turn In the rolling mill
came OH at 4 O'Clock in the morning.
About 20 minutes before that hour a
number of working men were GO
ing over to work at the Old Ferry Mill
| but finding the draw Off the Third
street bridge to let vessel through,
the men stopped some distance from
the bridge until the draw was put In
place.
AT each end of the draw are gates to
close when the draw is off to prevent
persons or horses from. going over
board before the bridge came back to
its place. Amongst those going to
work on that morning was Charles d.
Henry, the deceased. He WAS strang-
er in the city and not acquainted with
bridge draws. His brother Joseph
doubted II he ever saw one before OIL
knew what they were for.
Henry pushed on past the Other
workmen towards the draw, and
though nobody saw him step over
board he was never seen since that
time until his body was recovered OF
Saturday morning floating down the
Chrlstlana. The vessel passing through
at the time prevented hearing the
splash OF Mr.. Henry as he fell into thu
water. All the witnesses who crossed
the bridge that morning testified that
the gates were not closed, and that II
was no unusual thing for the gates tc
be open when the draw was of.
The deceased was about 81 years o.
age, bore an excellent character and
the strongest affection seemed to exis
between him and his half brothers
After hearing the evidence In the cas'
the jury returned the following yer
dict:
Resolved, That Charles d. Henri,
came to his death, according to the
, best of our belief, by accidental drown
} ing in the Chrlstlana creek, on the
morning of October Is.
} Immediately after the rendering o
the verdict the jury unanimously
} passed. the following resolutions:
: WHEREAS, 1t is the belief OF this iur.
that Charles d. Henry came to hi
3 death on the morning OF October Is
by walking overheard at Third stree
bridge, while the draw was off and tn
gates not closed; therefore be IL
Resolved, That this Inquest petition
the Levy Court to hereafter make al
rangements to have these gates closet
: at all times when the draw is Off.
:; The resolution will be presented t,
the Levy Court, at It's next regula
meeting, the first Tuesday of Novem
Der, and II Is hoped that prompt actio
will be taken In the matter.

Samuel II. Baynard, who now has
charge OF the clock in Inc tower OF the
City Hall, has made thorough examl-
nation OF the works. and finds that
they are almost worn out. The strik-
er is also In bad order, aud will have to
be replaced with new one, conse-
quently the hours will not be struck
until a new striker is put in place. 1t
would perhaps be just as well to tear
the old clock out altogether, and re-
place it with new one. This clock
originally did service on nobleman's
stable in Dublin, and after being
brought TO this country came into the
possession of one of the Shipley fami
~, who, when the hull was built In
IDS, presented 1t to the city. Since
then it has rendered excellent service

appeal was taken from the decision of
the New Castle Presbytery, to depose
Rev. j. II. Campbell from the ministry,
