in trust by the archbishop. is subject to
taxation. AS it has been he custom

will be in danger of being reduced to a
mission charge.
AS soon as the parishes are incor-
porated and ready to receive the prop
erty it will be decided to them by the
archbishop and the title will hereafter
rest with the parish instead of the bis
he , of the diocese.

WALLS, BoDY FoUsD.
Remains of Drowned Man Recovered Near
the DelaMare PnIp Works.


James B. Stokes and John Saunders,
while walking in the vicinity of the
Delaware pulp works Sunday after
noon found the body of b. Frank Walls
lying along the bank of Mill Creek,
where it flows into the Christiana
River. 1t was badly decomposed, but
was identified by. relatives after having
been turned over to Deputy Coroner
Giles.
Walls left his residence, No. 901 Reed
street, on Saturday morning, january
14th, and was drowned in the Christi
ana River near Market street bridge
about 8 o'clock that night. Several
people heard him in the water and the
supposition is that he walked over
board at Orange street wharf. Al the
time it was not known who he was,
but his wife identified a cap found in
tho water as one which had been worn
by him. She also expressed the belief
that he had been pushed. overheard by
enemies.
Efforts were made to recover the body
on several occasions, but no traces of it
were found until yesterday, and it is
supposed that 1t was washed ashore by
the high tide of Saturday.
When the body was found the pockets
of his clothing contained So cents, q
knife, a rule and some papers.
The death of Walls leaves his wife
and young son in needy circumstances.
They have received some assistance
from relatives and friends. Mrs Walls
and her son are now living with rela-
tives at No. 203 Van Buren street.

which were recently temporarily sus-
pended, are to be resumed in the
United States District Court on Mon
day, March 9th, at IL o'clock, noon,
and District Attorney Lewis G. Vande-
grift has filed petition with Judge

will probably be made today and the
jury will be drawn, in all probability,
next waek,
What disposition will be made of the
case. against United States Senator
Kenpey is not known by the Federal
officials here, as Mr.. Vandegrift has
not yet learned the pleasure of the
government concerning it. He knows
nothing about the report that the case
has Been dropped, and, so far as he
knows, it has not been abandoned by
tho government.
In addition to the Kenney case, the
following, together with the amounts
named in the indictments, are on the
docket: j. Frank Alice, So, ,604. IS; j.
X. McGonigal, 81, 532. 62; William f..
Cotter, S1.014. %; Amos Cole, S741. %

Ford, S1l5
The indictments were found on june
7th last, and charge the defendant
with aiding and abetting William N.
Boggs to misapply the funds of the
First National Bank of Dover.
There Is every reason to believe that
when the trials are resumed, on March
9th, they will proceed without inter
ruption, until all are disposed of. II
is believed that in nearly all of the
cases only u short time will be required
and all may be cleared up before warm
