CHARGED WITH EmB ezzhBMESr
john @. Allen Accused of Misappropriat-
ing Funds of His Castle.


John g. Allen, an insurance agent
living at No 1918 Delaware avenue, was
arrested by Constable Charles Green,
Saturday night, charged by Robert
Printer with undertaking the sum of SAP
from John A. Logan Castle, No. 6.
Ancient Order of knights of Mystic
Chain, in the Highlands. Allen was
elected treasurer of the castle April Goth,
1891, and since that time, it is alleged,
he has misappropriated funds until the
amount taken reached the sum above
mentioned.
The defalcations were not discovered
until II few weeks ago, when the officers
OF the castle made an investigation of
finances and discovered shortage of
S4e. Nothing was said at the time,
and an opportunity was given Alien to
make good the amount of the deficiency.
lie did not do SO, and April I'd war
rant was issued for his arrest by Justice
Frank E. Smith.
Allen is engaged in business which
takes him out of the city during the
week, and an opportunity for his arrest
was only afforded last Saturday night
after his return to the city. Owing to
the illness of Justice Frank L. Smith,
the case was taken before Justice James
Monaghan, who held Allen in 5000 bail
for further hearing on Saturday, April
both, Adrien Hughes promptly becom-
ing his bondsman. 1t is thought Allen
did not purpose defrauding the castle
by his actions, but in a time of need
used the money and neglected to return
IT. His friends are endeavoring to raise
the amount, in order to prevent the case
taking the usual course. He has wife
and children.

WAR ON SPE1K-E4SIES.
Crusade Begun Against yioiators of the
Liquor Law.

For. the past months agents under the
direction of the chief of police and the
mayor have been at work collecting evil
dence against speak. easies existing in open
violation of the law in the city and IT is
quite likely that a general onslaught will
be made in the course of a few weeks.
The work has been very quietly done I'M
til recently when rumors of proposed
raid got upon the streets and the fact that
the authorities were working up the matter
became known.
William S. Prickett, counsel for the Law
and Order Society, stated Tuesday morning
that his society was furnishing the money
used in the work, but Just what progress
had been made or when general raid
was TO follow he could not say. The matter
was in the hands of the chief of police he
said, and the latter had not as yet apprised
him of any proposed arrests except those
already made. Just who the agents en-
ployed in obtaining the evidence against
the violatorS of the law were Mr.. Prickett
could not say, but his society was able to
aid the good work by liberal use Of money,
as is now the case.
Chief Blackburn was asked Tuesday morn
ing IN reference to the proposed raid lie
intimatcd that the crusade was in progress
but stated that no raid was contemplated
as yet. He said that Detectives Hawkins
and Hatton, who it is understood are also
working on the case, had made no
report to him and probably would not
do so until the proper time came.
When asked to give an estimate of the
number of speak-easies now existing in
the city Chief Blackburn stated that the
number would 10 doubt exceed twenty.
They were many of them among the
Italian residents of the city and these were
hardest TO reach, Especially was this the
case III Little Italy" where a number Of
Illicit places are said to exist. 1t is under
stood that the arrest of number of per-
sons engaged in keeping speak-easics will
soon follow

He Carries Everything and Beats Gray il
tho Lafter,s Own Hnrh. :.

INDIANAPOLIS, April lS-All the candi-
dates for state offices before the Demo-
cratic convention opened up headquarters
this afternoon, but they were all deserted
this evening. The primaries held in this
county tonight for the election of state
delegates absorbed the whole attention of
the few country delegates already on the
ground.
The contest was between the Gray and
Cleveland men, and the full Democratic
vote was polled. Cleveland carried every
ward and township. The Gray men held
rump meetings in two wards and will send
a contesting delegation. Gray was beaten
in his own ward by vote of l56 to 49, and
a resolution strongly indorsing Cleveland
was adopted.
All the wards instructed for Cleveland.
Gray will not have a single vote from his
own county. Col. J. H. Rice. Gray's mana
ger, was beaten for state delegate by vote
of 165 to IL.
The leaders of the Fort Wayne delega-
ton have arrived. and they say that they
will not stand by the Gray cleveland COM
promise. They will tight it out for
Cleveland instructions. All the large cities
will join in the move, and with the solid
vote of Marion it is probable that the
peace and harmony agreement may be set
aside Shanklin is away ahead for COVER
nor. This county will be almost solid for
him.

CHANG n or FAITH.
A Former Member of Wilmington Com

ference to Become an Episcopalian.
The Rev. J. NJ. Williams, ID. D., formerly
of this city, has announced bis intention
of withdrawing from the Methodist Epis-
copal church and uniting with the Protes.
tant Episcopal church. The difference in
church government is his chief reason for
making the change. In letter to one OF
his brothers, Jay Williams, a lawyer at
Salisbury, Md, hesays he has contemplated
the matter for seven years, but was not
thoroughly convinced of his duty until
recently. The Rev. Philips Brooks, d. d.,
who short time ago was elected bishop of
Massachusetts,, has, il is said, assisted him
in deciding upon this course. He has just
completed his third year as pastor of st.
Paul's NJ. Il. Church, Fall River Massa-
chusetts. He will Immediately connect
himself with the Protestant Episcopal de-
nomination., and has applied to Bishop
Brooks for confirmation. He will remain
at Fall River until July.
DR.. Williams has been minister of the
Methodist Episcopal Church for "A years,
and was member of Wilmington Con.
quaintances in this vicinity. For several
years he was president of Wesleyan
Female College, now the Central Hotel
property, on French street between Sixth
and Seventh, this city. While holding that
position he was u member of the quarterly
conference OF Grace Church. He also
served as principal of Wilmington Con-
ference Academy. at Dover. He left this
city for the East about II years ago. AS
an educator and preacher he ranks high.
Two weeks ago he was offered the pas.
torate Of Ebenezer NJ, Il. Church, Easton,
Md, made vacant by the transfer of the
Rev. J, A. i. Wilson, ID. D., to New York
Conference. The step he is now taking
will occasion much regret among his
numerous friends in Delaware and on the
Peninsula.
He was born and raised in Wicomico
county, and is a son of the late Luther NJ.
Williams, and brother of Alonzo l..
Williams.
