Bishop M Monaghan Assures Father Donaghy
That He Is Not TO he Transferred.

Bishop Monaghan Assures Father Donaghy
That He Is Not TO he Transferred.
1t was reported Saturday that the
Rev. Peter Donaghy, who has been the
priest at ST. AIMS Church for some
time, was to be moved by Bishop
Monaghan and that tho Rev. James
Quigley, assistant priest at st. Paul's
Church was to take his PLACE. Rumor
did not give the information as to
where Father Donaghy was to go, and
some OF his friends were very much
interested to know, as they feared he
would be transferred to a parish soine-
where outside of Wilmington. The
report resulted in many people making
inquiry of the parties interested this
morning.
When a reporter called at Bishop
Monaghan,s residence, which Is at ST.
Psul's parochial house, Third and
jackson streets, he could not be in
terviewed about the report, the mes
senger stating that he was SO engrossed
with business that he could not be
seen. Others at the parochial resi-
dence could give no information con-
corning the matter, but Father Donaghy
who was seen at the parochial residence
of st. Mary's Church, where he had
gone TO call on the Rev. George J. Kelly,
said there was no truth in the report.
II am not to be transferred from St.
AIMS Church," he said. II saw the
bishop about the matter this morning
and he gave me assurance that l would
stay where I am"
When asked what gave rise to the re-
port, Father Donaghy said he under
stood that Bishop Monaghan had
intended to transfer Father Quigley
from st. Paul's to ST.. Ann's as as
sistant priest, in place of the Rev.
Peter Hughes. who was to be trans
ferred somewhere else, but report has
1T that Father Quigley did not care tc
make the change, and SO far as Father
Donaghy knows. will not be sent to
st. AIMS, for the present at least.
1t is said that some changes among
the Catholic clergy are looked for dur.
ing the next few weeks, but nothing
could be learned that would indicate
what is to be done.

When Adlutant George B. Rodney
returned with detachment of the
First Delaware Regiment from the
South few months ago he was
selected as officer of the day at the
temporary armory at No. 800 Shipley
street, whore two Of the battalions had
been provided with quarters. Through
an oversight, he had left his arms at
his home in New Castle, and as arms
were necessary for the performance Of
his duties as chief officer, he borrowed
Lieut.. L. R. Springer's side arms. He
had occasion to take them off for few
minutes. He left them on box and
when he picked them up again the re-
yolver was missing, He is all the more
sorry, as the weapon is not his, being
the property of Lieut.. Springer.
The matter was reported to the police
at the time, but they have been unable
to land the thief.

ADDICKSITES ARE CHAGRlNED
They Attempted to Punish the
Rev. j. S. Willis
FOR RENOUNClNG THEIR IDOL
But the President Made Them
Ridiculous.


Smyrna, July 1.-The Rev j. s.
Willis was endorsed for census super
visor for Delaware by Congressman
Hotfecler, State Senator Alice, DR..
George W. Marshall, Dr.. Caleb r.
Layton and other prominent Union Re.
publicans. Soon after the last general
election, the Addicks leaders saw that
the preacher politician was getting very
restless; and, unless he was given a
good Office, they feared he might jump
into the camp of the Regulars. Not
wishing to lose his influence in the on
suing campaigns--he was the only
orator they had in Kent and Sussex
they held conference, and decided
that they would go to Washington, in
company with Congressman TIof-
fecker, and urge the appointment of
Mr.. Willis to some lucrative position.
They went to the national capital and
saw the President; they made an
earnest appeal in behalf of the former
Congressman, reminding the President
that he and Mr.. Willis had been mem
bers of the same Congress, that the
latter had always been loyal Republi-
can. and that during the preceding
campaign he had done all he could for
wv odSSDoo u tAp ihNpubiSnb par W
The President told them that he had
not forgotten Mr.. Willis, and intimated
that he might appoint him census
supervisor for Delaware. The delega-
tion returned home elated, and boosted
of what they had done.
The senatorial contest was waged,
and at its conclusion Mr.. Willis threw
a bomb into the Addicks camp by re,
nouncing Addickism. When they re.
covered from their surprise, the Union
Republicans determined to bring Out
another candidate for census super.
visor. Headed by Congressman Hof-
feoker, the delegation again went tc
Washington, this time, however, in
behalf of Representative Satterfield,
but the President informed them that
they all had endorsed Mr.. Willis ano
he would appoint him.
Now, the chagrined Addicks leaders
are saying that II Mr.. Willis had moi
renounced Addickism the President
would have turned him down.
