ON TIE MARKET.
F,x.Mayor Hugh J. Grant said yesterday that the
Scotch Presbyterian Church. in West Fourteenth
ST which he bought for Nathan Straus, OF r. Fl.
Macy & Co.. was in the market for the first good
bidder He said that the deed would be transferred
to him on November |, at which time the first
payment of the purchase price would be paid. 1t
Is understood that the property brought $4,000,
and that $4,000 will be paid down upon the re-
ceipt Of the deed. and the balance in two years.
The church services will probably be held in the
building for a year at least when 1t will most
likely be torn down and office building erected
on the site. There have been erroneous reports
recently that the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian
Church had been sold. This Is not So nor Is there
any prospect of such sale being made.

A Granite Tablet Raised to His

Smith was the pastor of the Middletown
Church during the year 1871, '72 and '73,
and is held in loving remembrance by many
of the present members of the church.
Mr.. Smith came of a Presbyterian ancestry,
but in early life became a Methodist in
doctrine, and entered the ministry of that
church in 1910 For 43 years be was an
itinerant preacher. The prime of his man.
hood touched crisis in the history of our
country. He had heard the controversies,
In both church and state, which gradually
led to elimination, where the Bisest
statesmen stood dumbfounded in the face
OF problems in political economy, that no
human brain could solve, and could be
settled only by an appeal to the sword.
His strong convictions did not hold him in
doubt. All the ardor, and enthusiasm of
his soul was awakened. He prayed and
worked for the triumph of what he be
lieved to be the right.
He was close observer of passing events.

Peter Haggerty Clears Street Car
in Quick Time.
Peter Haggerty lives in Cecil county.
Md. Tuesday he decided to come to viii.
mington, says the EUery Eueming. and
driving to Middletown he boarded train
and arrived in this city about dusk. He
became somewhat inebriated on arriving
here, and in some way wandered down to
Ninth and Church streets, where he boarded
an electric car. When the conductor asked
him for his ticket Haggerty threw return
trip railroad ticket and a $40 bill on the
floor of the car, and threatened to blow the
conductor and his street car to atoms. His
threats caused CONSERVATION in the car and
led the passengers to believe a second
Norcross with Lis deadly dynamite was at
hand.
The conductor called Patrolman Floyd
to his assistance, and the unruly passenger
was given free ride in the patrol wagon
to the police station. He became as meek
as lamb when he saw iron bars staring
him in the face, and pleaded with the
house sergeant for permission to return to
his wife and five small children. He was
released Wednesday morning after promis-
ing to leave town.

PARTIAL programme for the Celebration
of Its Anniversary.
The interesting services of the Bi-cen-
tennial. celebration of st. PauPs Parish,
will be held on the oath and 25th of Nay

our readers detailed programme of the

this much is certain, that the opening ser
vice will be celebration of the Holy Com
munion at a. m. on Wednesday, the 25th,
followed by services at 1890 a. M, 8 D. M.
and possibly at p. m. These services will
be continued on Thursday. the 25th. This
2oOth anniversary of the foundation of st.
Pauls Parish is marked epoch in the mis-
tory of Kent county Md, and we conf
IDENTIFY predict joyous and happy keeping
of it. Rev. S. s. Hepbren, Rev. William
Munford, Rev. S. C. Roberts, Rev. George
G. Sutton and others will be present and
participate. Widespread interest is being
manifested in the comprehensive history of
the parish, which will be sold on the oc-
casion, and doubtless the book will meet
with most gratifying reception by the
general public. The author, Rev. G. T.
Denroche, rector of the parish, has done
his work of compilation in most through
and satisfactory manner. Orders left at
the TRANSCRIPT office for the book will be

the law provided that the collectors
should at the special meeting to-day
return the names of all persons on
the delinquent lists who had paid their
taxes, and those names were TO be restored

said about second delinquent list, because
when the names of those paying their taxes
had been striken from the collectors list
and restored to the delinquent lists what
names remained would constitute the de-

transpires that the collectors list was never

the members of the Levy Court, can be
