TRUE BILL AGAINST CLARK.

GRAND JURY REPORTS ITS FIND
ING AND is DISCHARGED UNTIL
MAY TO-
The grand jury yesterday returned a
true bill against Thomas S. Clark, one
OF the alleged looters OF the Dover
bank. He Is charged with stealing 49,
600. When the jury made its return
United States District Attorney Van
degrift asked that IL be discharged un-
I'll May 10. II was so ordered.
Among the witnesses appearing
against Clark were Senator Kenney, T..
E. Ross, Hugh Dunlap, Edward ID.
Page, II. A. Tichardson, John H. Bate
man, Ezekiel Cooper and Ernest II.
Ball.
Another delay was caused in the
Bcggs case this morning IN United
States Court when United States Dis
trict Attorney Vandegrift asked that
the case be postponed until Monday
next Levi G. Bird. attorney for ". T.
Cooper, objected. FINALLY, after a
great deal of discussion and parleying,
the case was put OF until Monday. The
petit jurors were discharged until that
time.
A point OF much Significance was
made by Judge Bradford. He said, with
great emphasis, that the case must be
one OF absolute fairness to both the
government and the defence. He also
said that as long as he was on the
bench trials coming before him would
be treated with justice.
Mr.. Vandegrift's main object in ask.
ing for a delay was that certain
books" which were in a certain New
YD'k court, must be secured before h'
could proceed with the case. JohI
Biggs, attorney for Clark, who hai
also been indicted, was In court, but hi
client was absent.
On motion OF ex-senator Higgins TIL
petition or w. A. Weinert, for a judg
ment In the Laurada case, and whic
had been fled with costs by the plain
tin, was withdrawn and the costs trans
mitted to Weinert.

guard was stationed at the Armory

guard was stationed at the Armory
door.
The work of packing the property Of
the Guard was completed and the bag
gage sent TO Camp Tunnel yesterday
afternoon, leaving only the personal
effects OF the soldiers and the officers
trunks to 90 to-day.
Many OF the soldiers did not go TO
bed at all, preferring to sit UP and talk
TO their friends. As the president has
called for a regiment from Delaware,
they left the city knowing they said,
that until the war is over, they might
not be in Wilmington again.
The call made by the president for a
whole regiment will likely make a great
difference in the present formation of
the militia. as 1t now only numbers zoo
men, and works under what is known
as the two battalion system. Each com
pany is only allowed sixty men. Should
the number be increased to 1900, the
required number for q full regiment
they will then have to work on a three
battalion system and many new officers
will be created Many of the soldiers
who are in the line OF promotion are
hoping for this change.
The ringing OF the bells announcing
the declaration of war seemed TO put
new life into the soldiers, as they re.
allied that they were looked TO play an
important part in the affairs between
Spain and the United States.
TROOP AT NEWARK.
A troop OF cavalry was organized a

MOORE 4 DELAWARE HAN
HE is A NEPHEW OF REGISTER IN
CHANCERY COLEN FERGUSON.

A dispatch from Washington says:
Secretary Sherman resigned as chief
of the State Department, to be sue
ceeded by Assistant Secretary Day, and
the latter by John b. Moore, of New
York, an acknowledged authority on
international law, and the War Depart
ment called on the several states for
their quota to the volunteer army OF
the United States. These make up the
important events of the day.
1t was not announced when Secretary
Sherman's resignation would take et-
feet, the secretary having yielded his
original idea of leaving at once, and
it is presumed that he will remain un-
til Judge Day qualities as his success
sor. The selection of Mr.. Moore, who
is now professor Of international law
at Columbia University, New York, to
succeed the latter, was warmly well
coined by all of the State Department
employees. Appointed originally from
Delaware in the State Department by
Mr.. Bayard when the latter was secre-
tary, Mr. Moore, by sheer merit and
ability worked his way up to the place
OF second assistant secretary, and in
that capacity he served under several
administrations without regard to pO-
litical changes. He resigned his place
in the State Department to accept the
chair OF international law at Columbia
University about three years ago and
it is believed that his present appoint
ment is only temporary, because OF HE
indisposition to permanently sever his
connections with Columbia. Mr.. Moore
is an authority on certain branches oi
| international law, and his selection will
do much to strengthen the State De-
partment in the present emergency.
Mr.. Moore is a native OF Delaware
and is a nephew Of Register in Chan
Gerry Colen Ferguson. He is known
TO nearly all the older members Of tht
New Castle bar.
