After considerable discussion the ap-
pended resolutions we're unanimously
adopted
Whereas, 1t is self-evident that the
Methodist Episcopal Church has been
and is a powerful agency for good in
all lands; and
Whereas, The influence obtained by
the church is largely due to the faith
full adherence by its leaders and law
makers to the plan of the Divine Mas
ter in calling his people together and
working in harmony for the good OF
humanity; and
Whereas, We believe that it is not
necessary or intended in this enlighten-
ed age that the church should invoke
state aid to prevent local self-govern-
ment in its temporal affairs; and
Whereas, Legislative enactment in
the State Of Delaware has deprived thS
Membership Of our churches Of the
right to control their own properties
and
Whereas, Believing that such legis'
lation is pernicious and that immediate
remedy should be applied, be it
| RESOLVED, That our presiding elder
our pastor. and the lay delegate of this
lchurch be requested to present the fore
going facts to the conferences that arr
about to assemble in our city, and en-
deavor to secure and present a me
mortal to the coming General Confer
ence praying that section 3O1, chapte
3, of the rules for church government
lbe amended so as to remdy the evil, ant
that the confidence and cOrdiality tina
has existed between the ministry ant
llaity be maintained"

TINE.


Robert McKinven. William Heal,
William Tucker, Fred Reed, Perry A.
DENLY, Fred Cooper and Harry Brown,
the latter four colored boys, were held
in 5000 bail each for upper court by
Magistrate Daley this morning on a
charge Of larceny Of brass from the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany.
Heal, Tucker and McKinven are each
about II years old and were taken in
custody yesterday afternoon by a neat
piece of work on the part Of Officers
Davidson and Lyons. For some time
past the officials of the Wilmington
and Northern Railroad Company, have
been annoyed by some unknown par
ties stealing brass journals from cars
which had been set out on the cutOffs
on the marshes. So great became the
annoyance which might have Occasioned
wreck when the cars were moved
had not the theft been discovered, that
the railroad detectives were placed on
the case The B. & o. and the p, w.
& B. railroads also reported similar
losses to their detectives.
OfflCEttO 1OOD WOhk.
The Police Department was also
notified of the theft, and yesterday at.
ternoon Officer Lyons noticed young
William Heal carrying some pieces of
brass to a Junk shop for sale. Sus-
pecting something wrong, Lyons took
Heal to the police station. where he
broke down and confessed the theft 10
his father, duplicating McKinven anil
Tucker They were later arrested by
Lyons and Davidson.
MODE OF OPERATION.
Heal also disclosed the hiding place
Of thirty-four stolen brass pieces val
ued at SO each. They were found bur
led in a spot in the marsh near the
cutoff A hidden jack was also dis
covered.
In removing the journal brasses the
boys would jack up the car until the
wheels were clear of the tracks, thus
loosening up the lower brass so IL
could be easily removed. When the
car was let down again the top brass
was readily taken out.
After removing the brass the boys
would kindle a bonfire and heat the
metal so that it could be broken with
coupling pin. thus destroying any
means Of Identification.
METAL IDENTIFIED.
Some of the metal, however. had
numbers on it which were not totally
destroyed and this morning several
employees of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad called at the police station
and placed together the broken brass
and identified it as the property os the
company.
Seventy pounds of brass were re-
moved yesterday at Lutzs junk shop
by Officers Lyons and Davidson, and
seventy-eight pounds more were To-
Gated there today by the same officers
