EX-SENATOR Kenney was on the witness
stand yesterday In the United States Court
b testify ON his behalf in tho Bogss case.
Vince the trial began the evidence has been
q such . nature that IL has not directly
mt his case In such light as supposed
tom the testimony given in the Cooper
md CLARK cRses The Senator denied en-
phaticaily thai he had any knowledge tn at
1oggs was defaulter after his frst inter
view with him. Tho District Attorney
"a his best to get Senator Kenney to ad-
nit that he knew Bogss wus short in his
acoounts by the severest Kind OF cross ex-
animation. but all bis efforts availeu moth
iAy. II the Senator 10 to b. convicted the
evidence should be more conclusive than
v has been in his trial. The men who re-
osiyed the funds of the First National
Auk should be made to suffer the penalty
u prescribed by the law. But there ha,
lot been single scintilia Of evidence thus
far introduced to prove that the Senator
was party to the looting Of the banks
land. He Is not indebted one dollar to the
hank and from observation Of his trial thus
far the government has had a very weak
case and the Senator's lawyers are to bs
congratulated for the manner in which
tAey conducted the defense.
& OWING to the large number of soldiers
who have been infesting our streets in a
4ruuken condition, coming here from Fort
1ott, Delaware City, Montchanin, Penn,
grove and 'Middletown, Chief Of Dolan has
issued rigid orders to preserve the peace of
Ne city. All saloons on the coast where
tAsse soldiers have been congregatinp
must be closed at midnight. Tho order
psrtains to other public houses. The Or
DR. Il . commendable one as the scenes
witnessed on our streets lately have been
shameful. These men who get and act
dlsorderly should be treated like any other
druhks They should be placed under
arrest and locked up in tho hall and in the
mording fined by Judge Ball. The null
sance should To stopped and the Chief is 10
b. commended for his action in the mat
ter. Lat these men keep sober Or place
them under arrest. II that don't answer
send them over to break stone.
To show how desirable Is the berth o
policeman, the Police Commission have
over fifty applications for the positions
made vacant by tho dismissal of Policemen
Quinn and Larrigan. No action was tax
on last evening but it is thought the lucky
men will be named for these two positions
ON Monday night. The force as now con-
stituted and managed makes good berths
for the men who receive them and bohavs
themselves afterwards They stand q
chance of promotion and serve on the force
IS long us they behave themselves The
commissioners have shown one thing and
that Is that the patrolmcn are expected to
behave themselves and attend ssrlctly to
duty when on their beats. The Whining
ton force Is a good one and every Whining.
tonian may we'll feel proud OF it as long as
1t kept up to its present efficiency.
PROSPERITY has at last begun to make
It's appearance in our city. The Harlan
end Hollingsworth Company have heon
the successful bidders in securing con.
srsct to build large steamship for the
Merchants and Miners Transportation
Company Of Baltimore. The new steam
ship. except as to length, will be similar to
tho Juniata, the Howard, the Fairfax, all
built by this well known firm of ship build
srs. This is good bows to the orkmen in
our icity and shows that lIallans have
awakened from their Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep. Other contracts i. is saia will fol-
low.
SwELTERlNG humanity who have the
price will leave this afternoon fo' th5 sea-
shore o spend tho Sabbath. II has become
quite fashionable now-a-aay, for those
who can afford it, aud those who think
they can afford it to nc to the sea,hore or
