A Number of Market Street Bushes,

Few DAYS,

A Number of Market street Business
Places Cracked by Burglars the Past
Few Days.
Craftsmen have been industriously at
work in this city the past few days and
despite the hard times burglars have kept
right on with their depredations without
interference. The robbery of the Gem
jewelry store on Friday night was the big
gest haul made by the craftsmen, but since
that time there seems to have been a series
OF depredations in town.
Saturday morning a plate glass window
in the clothing store of Aaron Harris d
Co., No. 2lS Market street, was broken and
Sl2 worth of clothing taken from the win
dow. When seen on Monday MIR. Harris
complained of lack of protection for the
merchants in his locality. He said: I'VE
have no protection from the robbers who
ply their trade here. and this is the second
time We have been visited. There are
special watchmen on Market street, but
that is all, The police 90 not prevent the
robberies."
An attempt was made to rob the store of
]. Hamburger & Sons, but the efforts of
the robbers were unsuccessful in cutting
the plate.Glass window and they made
their escape after disfiguring the show
window. An unsuccessful attempt was
made to break into the hardware store of
Duncan Brothers.
A short time ago thieves forced an
entrance to Wolthers clothing store at the
| southwest corner of Second and Market
streets and stole several dollars worth OF
clothing. AT the Kent Iron and Hard
| ware store q window was broken anc
cutlery to the value of several dollars wa.
stolen. Property owners are wondering
where the depredations will strike next.

URsULIXE PUPILS' ExHIBIr.


Exhibition of Glass Work by the Academy
Pupils in Literature, Art and Needie-
work.
A large number of the friends and
parents of the pupils gathered at the
Ursuline Academy Monday afternoon
to examine the exhibition of school
work arranged by the nuns as an ex-
hibit of the scholastic efforts of their
pupils. This included not alone ex-
amples of mental progress but also some
very fine specimens of lace and needle
work, china painting, drawing, and
painting. Papers were shown from all
the classes, the elementary, junior, and
senior grades.
The kindergarten exhibit from the
small folks was extremely interesting,
showing the ability of the Juveniles in
clay modelling and needlework. In the
senior grades each of the higher studies
of the school curriculum in classics, Ian
guages, and science papers, had its
exhibit.
Everything was attractively arranged
around the reception rooms, which were
decorated with flowers and also with
the national flag and French and Ger
man Bunting.
The exhibit showed high grade of
school attainment. What was particu-
larry admired was the exhibit of china
painting and also very superior grade
of lace work,

Standing on the upper side of Ninth
street between Market and Shipley,
about the middle of the block, one sees
to the right the great mass of blue
GRANTEES of which the new postofiice is
built To the left is q mass of gray
granite, the Wilmington Savings Fund
building. Right in front is another
distinct and staple article with which
modern houses are constructed, the
pressed red brick. Behind the inyesti-
gator is an example of buff brick, the
big Equitable building.
In these instances are shown four of
the modern staple articles used by the
builder, and each instance fine ex-
ample in architectural work. The in.
vestigator need only step to the Market
street corner and with his eye on the
Masonic Temple he will see an immense
facade built up entirely of iron and
glass. There is no stone NOR brick in
the whole face of the great structure.
Looking in the other direction, up street
one catches the view Of still another
variety of building material, serpentine
granite, of which the county court house
is built, 1t was obtained from Brinton's
quarry, near West Chester, Pa.
The blue granite of the new postoffice
is Brandywine granite while the gray
material of which the Savings Fund
was built is from Fox Island, Maine.
1t is sandstone granite and differs from
our Brandywine granite, being u sand.

blue granite is susceptible Of the fines

at the street Department..
From 7.45 Saturday morning until
close to noon Secretary Wiley of the
street department and two assistants
were employed registering and passing
out tickets to applicants for city work.
A representative of EVERY EVENING
called at 10 o'clock and ascertained that
of the 100 men who at that hour had
obtained tickets for work this week all
were laborers but two. OF these one is
a stone mason and the other is boiler
maker.
All those applying brought recon-
mendations from councilmen. Street
Commissioner McCloskey thinks that if
the department had work for 100 more
men in addition to 1877 hired Saturday
it would meet all the floating demand
of the unemployed OF the city. t
The registering Of the names and adj
dresses Of the applicants develop some
interesting details to the looker-on.
What is wonderful is the large number
of colored residents in certain houses.
For instance, No. 1924 East Sixteenth,
sometimes called Sixteenth and Clay
mont, must be regular beehive of col
ored residents, The letters of recon
mendation written on the Council cham
Der letter-heads, have more frequently
the name of the councilman in other
writing than his own. Itpiainly enough
indicates what the ward workers are
doing.

The Ancient Ceremony of the Cherr
Island Marsh Owners.

Island Marsh owners.
Under the charter of the Cherry Island
Marsh Company, it is the rigid ordinance
that the directors must walk the marsh"
the'last Monday of March of each year,
1t is a requirement of the charter which IL
not performed inyaidates the charter
rights. 1t must be done rain or shine and
ekep If there Is tornado blowing the big
waves from the Delaware. 1t has been
done every year since the granting of the
charter BY the Legislature 100 years ago.
The peculiar requirement is explained in
the following manner Long ago the
owners were in great trep'dation over the
frequent foundations of the river. They
demanded that whoever took charge of the
banks be strong, stout sample of rugged
humanity with no fear of storms and must
! be endowed with Drawn and muscle
necessary to put his hands personally to
the work OF repairing any sudden breach
in the river banks. The owners were
determined that no decrepit old man. no
mattcr how rich and representative u
pgTsonage he may be- should be on the
jump out of their beds at the first notiiica
ton of break and to fly to the work of
repair and rescue of cattle and property.
This was the reason of the embOdying in
the charter OF the Cherry Island Marsh
Company this rigid requirement.
Every step OF the river bank must be
stepped over. Those who are acquainted
with the locality will perceive that this is
no weak, decrepit mans task. When the
marsh is properly, walked substantial
dinner is served, which is of such proper
tions, more in the extensive line of the
meal of an Eskimo than of feast of
Luoullus, and this meal is the second test
of the capabllity of the official to serve as
a Cherry Island marsh director.

The Reckless Assertions of Rabld McKin-
leyitc Disproved by Facts.

Editor Gazette Dc Journal; Following
extract was taken from the Milford
Chronicle, published this morning:
Eggs are down to ~ cents per dozen in
New York, and the market weak at that
price. This means 10 cents per dozen for
eggs in Milford. This time last years eggs
brought from 20 to "a cents per dozen. and
the prices of this year shows to what state
the threatened passage of the Wilson
Tariff bill has brought the country.
After reading the above called upon
the largest dealer in eggs in Milford.
An examination of his books showed
that March 21st and 23d, 1893, lie paid
ON account of the cold spring, 15and 16
cents per dozen and from March 21st to
30th, 1892, in the midst of the operations
of the Mckinley tariff he paid 10 cents,
the same they are now worth in Milford
though they have been IA cents. Com
ment is unnecessary, though one cannot
help rejecting on the utterance of the
members of the party OF "great moral
ideas" of which the above is a type as
to truthfulness on questions relating to
the tariff. OBSERVER.
