AFRAID OF DELAWARE JUSTICE.
Dominick McGlinchey, the Highwayman,
Shudders at the Post and Pillory.

Shudders at the Post and Pillory.
John, alias Dominick McGlinchey,
well-known to the police in Philadcl-
phia, and who, it is said, has served four
terms in the Eastern Penitentiary for
highway robbery, was again before
Magistrate Pole Tuesday upon the
charge of completely in the burglary at
the house of Sarah l.. Hills, No. 1000
King street, in this city, on Sunday
morning January 10th last. McGlinchey
did not want to come to Delaware to be
whipped and pilloried and managed to
prove an alibi which satisfactorily ac-
counted for his whereabouts on the
morning the burglary was perpetrated.
McGlinchey is the man who was
arrested by Officers Culp and Buchanan
the next morning after the burglary
while quaTreling on the street, in Phila-
delphia, with John J. Fahey, over the
division of spoils. The articles stolen
from the Hilles residence were found on
Fahey and were identified by William
S. Hilles, Esq. Detective Witsil went
to Philadelphia yesterday to see if he
could identify McGlinchey as the man
he saw in this city the night before the
burglary, but failed at recognition.
Magistrate Pole then discharged Nc
Glinchey, there being no evidence to
connect him with the Hilles robbery.
Fahey was held to await requisition
from the Delaware authorities. Both
men have expressed a dread of Della
ware justice.
1t is fact noted with much satisfac-
ton by many residents of this city that
the depredations of the gang of burglars
who operated here for several weeks
have apparently ceased since William
+. Seeds fired upon one of them through
the parlor window. 1t is thought the
burglars have begun to realize that the
statements made by number of citizens
that they were ready with loaded fire.
arms to receive the lntruders were not
merely a game of bluff but entirely
well-founded. At any rate the burglars
seem to have taken householders at
their word and since the Seeds bullet
the burglars have ceased.

A. s. Reed s. Brother the Successful
Contractors for the New Convent Build
ing.
The successful bidder for the building
of the Convent of the Visitation, at
Bayard and Gilpin avenues, is A. S.
Reed & Brother of this city. The figures
are $71 ,S44.

yesterday morning, taking with him all
the bids in order to have conference
with the architect, Adrian w. Smith.
Other bids were as follows; John b.
johnson, Wilmington, $72,397; John
Stack & Sons, Baltimore, $74 ,475; Phi
lemma Chandler, $75,334 for slate roof,
and $61, 410 for tile roof; John B. Reilly
& Co., Philadelphia, SIC, 1923; McClos-
key Brothers, SIS, 1881; William H. Foulk

builders have qualified and that the
weather clears work will be commenced.
Contractor A. S. Reed expects to have
the structure finished by January list,
1893. The block of ground on which
the convent is to be built, sur
rounded by Gilpin, Bayard, Shallcross
and Grant avenues cost $4,000. This
with the cost of building makes total
of $S5,S44. The building contract does

THE NEW BREAKW4TER.
Plans Prepared by Major Raymond and
Forwarded to Washington.

Forwarded to Washington.
The plans for the new harbor of
refuge, which it is proposed to construct
in Delaware bay, have been prepared by
the United States engineers in this city
under charge of Major Charles w.
Raymond, and forwarded to Washing
ton. The new breakwater, which will
form the outer boundary or protection
of the harbor, will be located two miles
north of and two miles out from the
present breakwater. The breakwater
proper will be one and half miles in
length, in addition to which number
of isolated piers will extend distance
of half mile. These will be built to
catch the ice coming from the Delaware
river and bay, and will serve the same
purpose as those at Marcus Hook and
New Castle.
The main pier will be composed of
stone and will be 90 feet wide on top,
sloping gradually to the sea and with a
much sleeper slope on the inside. This
breakwater will afford shelter for an
area of over 800 acres. The least depth
will be 80 feet. In this space will be
afforded a safe anchorage for from 600
to 500 ships OF the largest size. The
cost of this vast work is roughly esti-
mated at from $4,00o,000 to $5,000,00O.
The plans for the new harbor will be
first examined by the chief engineer Of
the war department, and then by the
secretary, after which, if favorably con-
sidered, they will be sent to Congress.
1t will then be necessary to have bill
passed appropriating sufficient sum to
begin the work.

LESS TALK OF WAR.
Indications of Ultimate PREPARATION
on the Part of Chill.

The Atmosphere Around the Navy De-
partInent at Washington is Now De-
cidctlly Peaceful--But Some Navy OH
GERS still Look for War.
Associated Press Di patch by Special Wires
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20,--There was n
decided diminution in the war talk
around tile navy department this morn
ing, and more peaceful feeling pre-
vailed. Secretary Tracy had a compare
lively quiet morning, though he found
plenty to occupy him. He had a con.
ference with Senators Cameron and
Mcpherson Of the Senate naval COM
mittee. 1t is understood that the secre-
tary received the assurances of the COM
mittee that he would be supported in
every proper and necessary expenditure
involved in his precautionary move
ments.
The dispatches from the CHILEAN gov
eminent referred to in Yesterdays Asso-
ciated Press report of the cabinet meet
ing are regarded as paving the way for
an ultimate act of reparation on the
part of Chilli. At all events, it Is GER
tain that the warlike tone recently man
Tested at the navy department has been
considerably modified No steps have
been taken, however, to undo all that
has been so hurriedly done by the de-
partment during the past few weeks, to
put this country on fighting basis.
There is no less activity in the nayiga-
ton bureau in the preparation and
translation of cypher dispatches and in
the transmission of intelligence over the
wires.
Though the peaceful rumors have a
very general effect, many naval officers
refuse to place entire credence in them,
alleging that Chill is merely making a
show of relenting in order to gain time
for her own preparation. 1t is quite ap-
] parent that Congress will not be en-
| lighted on the CHILEAN controversy for at
least two or three days, for the an
nouncement Is made at the state depart
ment that the correspondence will not
be sent in tomorrow. No date has been
fixed for the submission of the message
and the documents.
TALKING ABOUT THE MESSAGE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Although ii
was generally believed in the House this
morning that the President would not
send his Gillian message to Congress to.
day, the tenor of the forthcoming docu-
ment was speculated upon by the little
| groups of members who assembled
around the fire places at the rear of the
seats and INDUCED in conversation
while awaiting the hour of noon.

A ROYAL MARoH TO THE TOMB.

Funeral of the Duke of Clarence To-day
MANY Public Demonstrations of
Mourning.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special wireA
LONDON, Jan. 20.-At 1915 o'clock
the bell on the church began tolling and
as the solemn knell rung out upon the
wintry air, the Prince Of Wales and his
household accompanied by Sister Vic
toria, who had nursed the duke until
his death, entered the church. The
carriages in which the party had ridden
were followed by three others conveying
royal personages.
When all had entered the church and
taken the seats set apart for them the
funeral services were commenced.
These were very brief, and upon their
conclusion the coffin was lifted up on
the shoulders of number of the royal
employees and borne from the church.
1t was placed upon the gun carriage
and q procession was then formed.
The tenantry on the estates of the
Prince of Wales and the members of
his household acted as pall-bearers. Fol-
lowing directly behind the coffin came
the Prince of Wales and his son-in- law,
the Duke of Fife, on foot. Then came
the clergy and them the game-keepers,
marching six abreast Following them
carriages with the Princess of Wales
and other royal personages. The rear
Of the procession was brought up by
the peasantry.
The whole route from the church to
the station of the Gaeat Eastern railway
was lined with spectators, who had, as
the procession passed, Joined in the
rear. A guard of honor from the Nor
folk Volunteers, with guns reversed,
met the cortege at the station. The
whole scene was one of great solemnity.
All the government and many private
dwellings in London had their blinds
drawn and flags at half-mast In accord
ance with the request of the lord mayor,
that places of business be closed during
the afternoon, large number of fac
tories, shops, &C., did no business after
10 o'clock. The shops which remained
open displayed black shutters and
mourning emblems. All the policemen
wore mourning knd the bus drivers had

Pastoral Vacancies.

Wilmington NJ, Il. Conference, at its
next annual session, most likely will
have SIX pastoral vacancies to fill. Since
the last annual session three members
have died, the Revs. Il. Q. Ayres, T. Il.
Dreamer and S. j. Baker. The Rev. j..
d. Rigg has taken superannuated re-
lation and it is thought that at the next
annual session the Reys. j. II. Caldwell,
ID. ID, and Charles Hill will be given such
a relation. Mr..Hill, owing to illness, has
been obliged to stop preaching and dur
ing the ensuing two months his pulpit,
at Elkton, will be supplied by ministers
of Wilmington district. 1t is unlikely
that the Rev. r. Q. Jones will be able to
resume pastoral duty next conference
year.

Carey nor his clerks did not know when
witness was coming So far as he could
ascertain Mr.. Carey conducted his bust
ness lawfully.
This closed the testimony, and Mr..
Bird asked Judge Wales to rule that the
| defendant had not violated the law, and
cited authorities to show that princi-
pal is not responsible for the criminal
acts of his agents unless done by his
express authority, command, or under
| his orders.
Court took a recess until 2 o'clock.
Immediately after the reassembling of
the United States district court Tues
day afternoon District-attorney Watson
opposed the request made in the morn
ing by Levi c. Bird, Esq, the de-
PENDANTS counsel, that Judge Wales
rule that Robert p, Carey had not VIC
lated the oleomargarine law. Mr.. Bird
had made the request thinking that the
| case need not go to the jury and that
thus time would be saved. The district
attorney argued that the defendant had
violated the law by selling from glass
case Ia refrigerator with glass doors)
and claimed that showing that the de-
PENDANT had given orders to his clerks
to not violate the law was no defence.
He commended that Mr.. Garey's instruc-
tions were not given In good faith.
Mr.. Watson stated in conclusion that
he was done, and without giving either
side opportunity to address the jury
Judge Wales began delivering his charge.
He spoke briefly and his remarks were
favorable to the defendant. After citing
the two counts in the indictment he said
the Jury should decide whether the de-
PENDANT had knowingly violated the law
and whether sensible man would sell
oleomargarine as butter when he knew
conviction of such sale would take
his profits for year. He had never
known Of q conviction In 0 case of this
