IN a morning paper to-day, charging
Leicester Smith with endeavoring TO
swindle persons by a plea of raising
funds for the Sunday school Of st. An
drew's Church. Mr.. Smith called at the

denial.
He says that he has been secretary
and Librarian of the Sunday school for
two years. That the library had deter
iorated to a great extent, and that after
making several appeals to proper per-
sons to assist in building it up, he took
it upon himself to fix it up. But two
persons responded to his appeals, and
he did not receive $40 from either Mr.
Smith says that while he had no au-
thority from the church officials his
subscription book was signed by an old
member of the church. showing him to
be as he represented. He adds that he
has an honest way of making a living,
and does not have to resort to swind-
ling. He never has done so and never
expects to.

SUBMARINE MAINS
In THE CHRISTIANA

Good progress is being made by the
Water Department in laying the new
and larger water main across the
Christiana river at Orange street.
Divers and a steam-diver's outfit have
been operating for several days. A
trench was first dug by a dredge, and
the pipe, when laid, will be twenty-five
feet below low water mark. The pipe
is twelve inches, with flexible ball
joints, and replaces the eight-inch
main broken last Fall by the dredging
machine.
AS soon as the work at the foot of
Orange street is finished the twenty
inch main crossing the Christiana river
at Third street bridge, will be taken up
and relaid again at a depth of twenty
nve feet, to accommodate the proposed
new channel of the river.
The pipe is the main water supply
for South Wilmington, and the work
on it will be pushed rapidly.

" BUNNIE +" HAD
PICK OF THE PILE
William Harris Charged
With Larceny Before
Judge Ball

William, alias "Bunnie" Harris, had
q close call from being held on a
charge of larceny by Judge Ball in City
Court this morning.
Harris was charged by Benjamin d.
Jester. who conducts a commission
business at No. 113 East Fourth street,
with the larceny of six crates OF straw
berries. Mr.. Jester testified that yes
terday Harris purchased six crates OF
berries each containing thirty-two
quarts, and paid him at the rate Of so
cents a crate. The berries were piled
upon the street in front of his store,
and Harris was given the pick Of the
pile.
Mr.. Jester claimed that Harris, in
stead of taking six crates, containing
thirty-two quarts each, took six boxes
each of which held forty-eight quarts
which were piled up nearby. When he
demonstrated Harris said he had
bought and paid for the berries, and in
tended to take them.
James J.. JacOby, who made the sale
testified when Harris bought the straw
berries there was no mention made OF
how many quarts each box should con-
tain. but he intended to sell the crates
containing thirty-two boxes. These
boxes were in a separate pile, although
the forty-eight quart boxes were piled
close by, a small space separating the
two piles.
Harris, in his own defense. claimed
that the thirty-two and forty-eighi
quart crates were all together, and h'
simply took his pick, according to bar
gain. Judge Ball dismissed the case.
The case of Frank A. Taylor ant
Fannie B. Wood, charged with disor
derly conduct, was continued until Fri
day
Charles Washington, a colOred boy
was committed to the Ferris Industria
School by the court.
The following drunks were disposed
Of: George Greenwood, Edwar'
Butcher. John ]. Callahan and Benja
min Thompson, were each fined 81 ant
costs; Frank Howard was dismissed ol
