Among the Churches.


st. Peters had a larger congrega-
tion than usual and the sermon of Rev.
Henry Thomas, as it presented the
causes for thankfulness, was highly
enjoyed by his audience. A marked
feature was the large number of con-
tributions for the st. Michael's Day
Nursery, in Wilmington, of which
Mrs. Geo. H. Raymond and Mrs. NJ.
X. D. Eldridge, of this Parish, are
directors.
The Presbyterian and Methodist
congregations held union services at
the latter church. The sermon was
preached by the Rev. J. L. Estlin, pas
tor of the first named church, assisted
in the services by Rev. Chas. A. HILL
w. F. Corkran and Rev. T. H. Haynes,
Rev. Mr.. EstliD was at his best, aai
had warm Endorsement by the united
audience. not only for his terseness o
thought, but his aggressiveness il
dealing with the political and ecclesi
astical questions of the day. 1t was {
discourse crowded with suggestlv,
thought.
The secondary business in connec
ton with the Thanksgiving services
was the action of the joint committe
appointed to protest against the seat
ing in Congress of Brigham H. Roberts
the Mormon from Utah. This com
mittee was: Geo. w. Taylor, Mrs. f
F. Evans, and Mrs. S. J. Reynolds
appointed by the pastor of the Pres
byterian church, and Mrs. Josep
Smithers, Mrs. John H. Hoffecker an
Mrs. J. P. Hudson appointed by tn
pastor of the Methodist church. Thos
who had not signed the petition t
our congressman before, affixed thei
names in passing through the vest
bule in the exit.

An Exciti ng Football Game.

The day was not without its usual
interest in sport. Many made it day
of outing, and early in the morning
cunning parties were on the move with
gun and dogs to skirt the country DER
in search of game. There was also some
little interest in the blue rock shooting
match at "Spruance City," but it
proved to be more of a contest of in
dividual Workmanship than match.
It was conducted by Alfred Thigh
man.
The center of attraction in the after
noon was the football game on our
home grounds between the Smyrna
eleven and the Park Athletic Associa-
tion eleven of Wilmington, at which
neither side scored. The day being a
holiday, together with the announce
ment that it was to be the last
game of the season, the crowd was
much larger than was anticipated, and
the spectators gathered there to the
number of 400 or more, with a full
quota of ladies. The game was called
at o'clock, and from start to finish,
both halves afforded the people the
best contest of the season. Smyrna
played a strong game. The "Cork-
screw trick" played by the visiting
team was the hardest to overcome, anC
the only thing by which they could
make any gains. Smyrna's ends ant
tackles were decidedly in the game
and the center being the weakest, thu
Park A. A. massed their strength ther'
for steady gains. The playing OF Mer
edith, Tunis, Anthony, Riggs and ID
Jones excelled.
Just before the close of the first hall
the visiting team were near the Smyrn
goal line for a touchdown, and ha'
they played fast game at that me
ment, every chance was in their favo
Of making a score. Instead of this tn
precious time was taken up in wrane
ling, and before they could accom-
plish it, the referees whistle called tn
first half to a close. The Wilmingto
papers gave the score Q to 0, in favor
the Park A. A., but it is not officia
1t was hard fought game in whic
neither side scored.

County Commissioners John Demuth,
Giles Roberts and S. W. Roberts yes
tcrday took an appeal to the court or
common pleas of this county from the
report of the county auditors surchars-
ing them with St6.5OO53 which the au-
ditors believe was unnecessarily eN-
pended in the rebuilding of the court
house. The commissioners are rep
resented by cX-Judge L. y. WIZARD
and Major Everett Warren.
The commissioners will make an et-
fort to have the case disposed OF as
promptly as possible. When court
meets in August steps will be taken 10
have an issue framed so that the case
will be i'm shape to go on the rrial list.
In case Of such great public import
ance as this the commissioners believe
the court ought to make an order ad-
Vancing it on the list so that it can
BE- tried promptly.
They have no fear, they say, of their
ability to convince any twelve falr
minded men of this county that there
was no unnecessary expenditure of the
public money in connection with the
reconstruction Of the court house.
Asked for More Time.
Attorneys NJ. f, Mcdonald and c. G..
Donovan, representing County Treas
mcr NJ. j. Kelly yesterday made a
formal application before the three
Judges in Judge Archbald's chamber
for an extension of time in which to
present Mr.. Kelly's side of the election
contest. The time allowed by the court
Nt-aa-
sented to the court that it Will not he
possible to hear all of the witnesses by
that time. An extension of time OF
ninety days was asked.
This was opposed by Attorneys II. IL.
liolgate and ]. j. II. Hamilton, counsel
for w. :. Langstaff, who brought the
contest. They alleged that the respon-
dent had not shown proper diligence
in the matter of Offering testimony;
that on many days the examiners did
not sit at all because there was nothing
for them to do and that usually when
witnesses were examined only few
were brought forward each day.
After listening to the arguments pro
and con the Judges decided to allow
an extension Of time of thirty days. \
formal order was not made.
Carbondale Poor Directors.
An order signed by the three judges
was handed down yesterday appointing
A. w. Daley poor director for the First
ward of Carbondale; Henry Carter for
the Fifth ward and Edward Robbins
for the Sixth ward. They will save
until April ), 1900.
The act of the legislature which
created the poor district of Carbondale
provided that one director should be
elected from each of the four wards of
the city which existed at that time.
Since then the First ward of :he
city has grown to such proportions that
the Fifth and Sixth wards We're cary
ed out of it. This left these three wards
with only one representative on the
poor board and to cure this inequality
of representation an act was passed
by the last Legislature which gives each
ward of the city a representative on the
poor board.
Under this act yesterdays appoint
mcnts We're made. Mr.. Robbins was
the member elected from the old First
ward and as he is a resident of the
Sixth ward he was yesterday named to
represent that ward on the board. Mr..
Daley. of the First ward, and Mir. Car
ter, of the Fifth ward, are the new
members.
