The announcement that Rev. DR..
Robert Watt, OF Scott NJ K Church,

cause OF swearing the land mourneth.
and the theme was Profanity Mr..
Watt said that America contained the
most irreverent aud profane people on
the globe, aud Wilmington WAS al cad Of
every city he had ever been In, In this
regard. There had not been an hour
that he was on the street that he had not
heard horrible blaaphemy.
There exists law In Delaware, said
he, against this profanity, and the courts
had frequently punished vlolators, and
asked what could be expected of the
public when many Of the men who wear
blue coats and brass buttons and are
| officers OF the city are the worst swearers.
He said he had heard more oAtha used by
officers In the Municipal Court room
during the short time he was there than
he had for some time.
He arrAigned the habit AS unmanlY.
ungentlemanly, cowardly, ungrateful,
absolutely useless, dangerous. sinful and
Improbable. Its cure may be the arrest
of the offender, withdrawal from the
company Of the Bwearer or remonstrance.
He warned the young men against ths
habit
Dr. Watt announced that he would. in
the future, take up the other glarine
sins and preach on them. One OF hiI
sermons will be on gambling.

streams on. The men were badly handi
capped by the age aud condition Of tie
building and walls, and we're forced to do
much of their work from the sidewalk
There were about a dczsn horses, some
wagons, harness, etc In the place and
these were safely removed The fire was
extinguished at about II 10. The blszs
is believed to have been Of incendiary
origin as It was seen to break out in

past the building has been the head

around Front and West streets and make
life weary for the people there On
more than one occasion the police have

natural result Of their presence. The
loss will reach to about s., 500, on which
there Is ample insurance.
Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morn
