Dry Goods.

New York, Dec. 1S.-The "war scare" ap- pears to be confined to the speculative mar goods market, although the discussion of President Cleveland's message helped to make interesting and otherwise very dull day Business was of the late ordinary character, buyers in staple cotton and in seasonable fancies confning their attention to small pressing requirements, whilst specialties and high novelties in both print ed and woven patterned cotton fabrics, and quiet for regular lines. Business in wooden goods continued indifferent. The general tone of the market is unaltered.

Magistrate Kelley's court was honored
this afternoon by the presence OF q no.
torious criminal In the person OF Bob
Allen.
For the last twenty years Allen has fig.
ured prominently In the criminal onlen.
dars OF the State. His broLher-in law and
cnum. Harry Reason.is now serving ten
years sentence In the jail at Dover.
Allen has been IN jail on different ocoa.
sions and when he wanted to get out he
would not ask tho sheriff TO open the
door. He has broke jail twice at New
Castle. Dover. Chestertown. Centrevllle
and Georgetown.
Years ago. when Allen first, began his
career his practice was to use team and
rob farm houses and torres. He has been
the cleyerest crook that ever stood In the
dock. as by some little technicality he has
on different occasions gotten out OF bad
scrapes.
Some weeks ago Thomas MalIn report.
ed to the police department that q quun.
tlty OF harness had been stolen from him.
Oiilcer John Welsh was put on tho case
and the matter came to head yeste rday
when no arrested Allen.
Tho harness was found in the possession
OF Manuel Black, "a second hand deal -
who stated to the officer that he bong It
the same from Allen Allen eliminated Reu-
BEN johnson. whose record on the police
docket does not speak very flatteringly
for Reuben.
Last evening Detective Money vas tak.
Ing look through the cell door at John
son ana he felt that the description OF the
coat he wore tailed with one that had
been reported as having been taken from
tho house Uf John Webster who lives ad Z.
joining Mulin at Shelipot.
On examining tho coat 1t tailed exactly;
as 1t had burned hole at one VI the
pockets,
Webster was notified, and when he
came to the city hall he linn ediately re-
oognlzed the coat as the one which was
stolen from his house.
Ii Officer Welsh had boon fined for be.
Ing little late recently with his report 1t
appears that he has been olng good work
and the hasty and uncalled for action Of
lining good man for being a few MIN
utes late on one occasion tends to rld!.
cule the mmlsaion. There are times
that an officer has q chance to follow q
Clue and he IL prevented from doing so by
the threat os fine OF suspension.
The hearing before Magistrate Kelley
was lengthy one and Allen and johnson
Will be Obliged to explain to q jury sever.
| al little things connected about the for.
chile entry into different places.
The police have notified the store keep.
ers In the surt rounding districts whose
stores have been robbed, of the arrest Of
| Allen aud Johnson.
Officer Ford will come In this afternoon
to look at Allen to seeif he is the ma n
who gave him the grand clip.

William II. Burnite, lgte State Treasur-
or, In his biennial report OF the finances
of the Stste, says: During his incnmbency
In the office Of State Treasurer the office
expenditures have largely Increased. both
from regular and special appropriations.
Included In the latter might mention
appropriations to the Worlds Columbian
Exposition, the State College for Colored
Students, Delaware College, Troop b As.
ISOLATION, and Special Constables for tho
City OF Wilmington aggregating over
SS7, 600.
10 the regular appropriations have beeh
added registration expenses aggregatiDR
about SIS. 900 and expense coDnected With
the Delaware State Hospital at Farnhurst.
agRregatlng. including special appropria.
tlons for Improvement Fund. el5j.000.
The result OF the payments OF these large
sums OF money has been 10 deplete the
general fund to an extent that makes 1t
absolutely necessary for our revenue to
be increased. / haye been enabled to
meet the demands made upon the general
fund during the past two years by bor-
rowing temporarily from the School Fund
in accordance with the authority given
me by Joint resolution OF the last General
Assembly, but this is an expedlent that
we should not be compelled to reeOrt to.
1t can be avoided only by increasing our
bonded indebtedness or providing for
larger income. Tho latter method II
SCENE to Inc should only bs considered,
especially In. view OF the fact that we
should gr aduully he accufn ulatinR fund
to meet the bonds OF the state, falling
due within a few years.
Upon the basis OF our present sources OF
revenue ! estimate thai the expenditures
during the coming year will to o consid.
eIaple extent exceed the receipts: and this
estimate is based upon the presumption
that no large appropriation, other than
those expected, Will he made by the pres
sent General Assembly.
Tho main reason for this condition of
affairs Ia the expenditures connected with
the State Hospital. fhe appropriations
for this institution began at time when
we had quite surplus In the Treasury,
and no provisions was made for the con.
tlnued outlay. Whist every one recog-
nIzes the value of the institution, and Its
Wise and economical management lie
uni yersaliy conceded. II 10 unfortunate
that the mistake was made of not provid.
ing means for it's support. The only In.
crease of revenue during my term OF
office has come from the tax on banks
amountin u to about 50 900 annually. The
ONT resolution relating to the Baltimore
and Philadelphia Railroad Company was
re-adopted by the last General Assembly,
| and the agreement to receive S25, 200 an.
| nually In view of all Stste taxes, will
| shortly expire. There has been expended
fer The burial of old soldiers since 1889.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
An excellent presentation was given at
the Grand Opera House, lust evening of
that great realistic comedy drama THE
Pay Train" by the versatile sOubrette
Miss Florence Bindley, and a clover sup.
porting company, with marvellous scenic
effects. Miss Blndley can be elassed
among the leading soubrettes: she has q
good voice and portrays each character
with suoh naturalness and vivaciousness
as to com mand the attention of her au-
dierce. Tbs Test was very clever. The
Incidents brought out were most unique
and In some oases very thrilling.
The comedy introduced throughout
could not have been better, most of which
wus very laughable. The whole perfor-
nance was highly enjoyed by the audi.
once present.
