OFFICER HARKINS' GOOD WORK.


Frustrated an Apparent Attempt at Rob-
bery on West Front Street.
The timely presence of Patrol Officer
Harkins at Front and Shipley streets
shortly after o'clock yesterdaymorning
probably prevented robbery at the
store OF Louis Sklutt, No. lis West
Front street. Frank Green and Isaac
Mars, colored, meat handlers, who were
ON the street in the performance Of
their duties, saw two men pry the
screen from the window Of Sklutt's
store, and message was sent to the
patrol station. Officer Harkins imme-
diately responded and for short time
watched the store, having concealed
himself in the vicinity. He had not
been there long, when man giving
his name as William Ryan, appeared,
and as his presence there was suspici-
GUS the officer arrested him and locked
him up on suspicion. lie was ar
raigDed in the City Court this morn
ing, but as he had not been seen to
enter the store the charge of attempted
robbery was not preferred against him.
As he was identified by Green and
Mars as one of the men who tore off
the screen, it is likely that he would
have beep accused of attempting to
commit robbery had it not been for the
fact that there is no law imposing
punishment for attempts unless tho
accused Ia found inside building
which he has entered with intent to
commit felony. Therefore, the only
thing to do was to charge him with
disorderly conduct. When the case was
called Officer Hsrlsins said he had been
informed by colored man that two
men had pulled a screen from win
dow at No. lis West Front street. He
watched for while and In short
time Ryan appeared- as il he had come
out of an alley and the colored man
who was with the officer said Ryan
was one OF the men who had been at
| the window and the officer placed him
under arrest. Frank Green, colored,
| identified Ryan as one of the men who
had been at the window and from his
attitude Green thought he was about
to break in the store. A smaller man
was, with Ryan, but escaped. Mars
| gave similar testimony.
Ryan said he was not guilty. OF
wrong doing. He alleged that he had
been working in the f1shhouses at
Lewes and came here and became in
toxioated and was in that condition
when arrested.
The court imposed fine of $40 for
disorderly conduct, as no other charge
could be preferred under the law.

CLEARS THE WAY FOR PEACE.
Comment on ohamberiain's Last Dispatch
TO miner.

TO miner.
London, Eng, Sept. 26. The gen.
eral feeling, including that OF the Pro-
Beers, as indicated by articles in the
afternoon newspapers today, is that
the published dispatch of the Secretary
of State for the Colonies, Mr.. Cham
her lain, to the British High Commits
sioner in South Africa, Sir Alfred Mil
ner, clears tho way for peace, If the
Beers desire it. In any event, it is
pointed out, it affords further delay,
which, in the case Of Great Britain, is
certainly advantageous, as it gives
time for the reinforcement of the gar
risons at the Cape. The papers gsner-
ally, however, express the hope that
President Kruger will now see his way
to meet Great Britain's views.
The dispatch of troops to South
Africa proceeds uninterruptedly.
Three field batteries arrived at Birk-
enhead today, and will embark for
Durham, Natal.
A cablegram from Cape Town says
"Quantities of stores and ammunition
are leaving here daily. The movement
of troops to Natal is merely precau-
tionary measure, to secure the coal
mines, and il nowise in the nature OF
menace. There are no imperial
troops on the immediate border.
Rumors Of collisions should be received
with Caution

Legal Action to be- Taken by the City
Against the New York Brokers.
City Solicitor Conrad received a
letter yesterday from G. H. White
Il Co., New York brokers. informing
him that the company's representative
who had promised that he would visit
this city not later than Tuesday was
unavoidably prevented from coming on
account of press Of other business,
but would go to Philadelphia on Thurs
day and would probably" come on to
Wilmington to see Mr.. Conrad. Last
week letter was received from the
company stating that their representa-
tive would be here either Monday or
I tuesday, and on the receipt Of that
letter 1t was decided to give the com
Of the information desired about the
s24, 900 worth bf bonds for which the
company was the highest bidder at the
recent sale, and tie city officials W DO
have the matter in hand were alta loss
to know why the promise had NOT been
kept and the letter received this morn
ing was far frVm satisfactory.
The letter which arrived today con-
tanned an opinion of the compsny's at
torney to the effect that he did not con-
slider the $4,000 worth of Sinking
Fund bonds which had been awarded
to the company legal issue. One Of
the city officials, in speaking of the
matter, said he considered the opinion
exceedingly weak and he could not un-
derstand how the attorney arrived at
such an opinion, as the bonds were is
sued under an act Of the General AS
sembly of Delaware, passed in January,
1897, which act in unreasonable terms
authorized the issuing of the identical
bonds for which White s. Co. were the
highest bidders.
Shortly after the letter had been re-
ceived City Solicitor Conrad. City
Treasurer Hamann and Secretary Ros-
sell of the Sinking Fund Commission
held conference, at which IL was de-
cided to institute suit at once against
White & Co., the suit to be based upon
the firms contract with the city, under
which the firm obligated itself to pay
for the bonds by noon on September
LIST.
The city officials having the matter
in charge and who have been in corre-
spondence with White q Go. are much
ohagrined over the attitude shown by
| the firm and their lack of appreciation
of tho courtesy shown them. There
will be no further correspondence ith
White a. Co.
The Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund and the finance committee of City
| Council will hold meeting tonight,
when full report will be submitted.

London, Eng, Sept. 81. The Trans
vaal situation remains unchanged,
though, if anything, the feeling Of
gloom has deepeued. Cablegrams from
Pretoria and Cape Town show that the
general impression prevails there that
the Beers will not reoede from their
position, less that the feeling Of unrest
at Pretoria has been intensified. A
dispatch today says that the Trans
vaal government has begun to appoint
officers to go to the front in case OF
hostlities.
Tho Executive Council of the Trans
vaal had prolonged sitting yesterday,
and has been in constant telegraphic
communication with the Orange Free
State. No decision, it is now said. re-
garding the attitude of the Orange
Free State has yet been reached.
Tho Transvaa's reply to the dispatch
Of the Secretary of State for the Col
onies, Mr. Chamberlain. will be drafted
today and submitted to the Rad in
secret session. The members appear
convinced that Great Britain is deter
mined on war Being anxious not to
force Great Britain's hand, the Beers
will not take any definite stops until
the draft of their reply is considered
but notice has been issued to the
BurRhers to be in readiness for com
Wandering, which commences shortly.
A quantity of arms, chiefly Martini
rifles, have been distributed.
The Orange Free State Rad con-
tinues in secret session.

miral Dewey's premature arrival at
New York.
The st. James Gazette says: "Ad-
miral Dewey must have heard rumors

very probably drew his own conclusions
as to their appropriateness. Whatever
the nation, which is totally unaccus-
toned to naval victories over an alien
race, may think Of the battle Of Manila,
the Admiral, who directed those very
businesslike and thorough operations,
can have no illusions as TO the oalibre
of the foe which was unable to prevent
him from taking an overwhelming adj

BRIDGE PROJECT HELD UP.
Levy Court Hasn't the Money on Hand (
20 Ahead With Seventh Street Bridge

Levy Court hasn't the money on mana TO
20 Ahead With Seventh Street Bridge.
In spite of the fact that the bridge
committee of the Levy Court decided
two or three months ago to award the
contract for building new bridge
across the Brandywine at Seventh
street to Patrick Fshey for s25, 900, the
bridge is not yet under way. The
reason for this is that the financial
condition of the county now is not such
as to permit the carrying on of such
an undertaking.
At the last meeting of the Levy
Court the county had possibly less
than $4,000 available, and current
bills we're to be met. As the recent
months have been poor collection
months, the county has been unable to
get large balance in the treasury.
So the bridge project is held up for
the present.
