WATER Low IN RIVER.
French Bark Strands on Edge OF

Not for many years has the water been
so low in the Delaware river ms it was
yesterday morning, and it was owing to
the brisk northwest gale that was blow
ing. II opened at s II. IN. along the river
front at a fifteen-mile clip, while down
at the Breakwater it was blowing at the
rate Of thirty-fve miles an hour. At the

NO REWARDS
FOR POLICE
Commission so Decides Under
Rules Of Department.
CANNOT RECEIVE MONEY
Action OF the Board the Subject of
Much Comment; the Opinion
Being Expressed That
1t is Unjust.
CANNOT RECEIVE MONEY

The Board Of Police Commissioners
ing the Police Department no member
of the force can receive any money ex-
cept his salary for any service in con-
nection with the performance of his duty.
Under this ruling poncemen cannot re-
ceived rewards offered for the appre-
hension Of criminals.
The question was brought before the
board by Patrolmen Hefron and Dutton,
who recently arrested Horace y. Dunlap,
a dpserter from the United States army,
asked permission to receive the reward OF
$50. which is paid for the arrest of de-
serters, claiming that by making the
arrest they were entitled to the reward.
The commissioners considered the mat
ter fully and decided that they could
not grant the request, as the law gov
erning the. Police Department prohibits
any member of the force from receiving
any money except his salary for any
service in connection with the perform
ance Of his duty.
Dunlap was arrested here on Noyem-
brr 10th and delivered to the authorities
| in Washington on the 10Th. 1t is hnely
| tnat the government will send the re-
ward TO the Police Board, and it is the
intention Of that body, if it is received.
TO turn it over to the city, just the same
as in the case OF fines.
OP4.,IONS ON THE NATTER.
| According to this decision, as in the
case Of the desprter, Captain Kane may
not be permitted TO receive the reward
of $3.50 offered for the arrest of John +.
Hayden, the New York embezzler, whom
thu captain arrested on Tuesday.
There was considerable discussion
about the matter yesterday 1t seemed
to he the general opinion that in cases
of the arrest of citizen of Wilmington
or of the State policemen should not be
permitted to receive a reward. But the
opinion was expressed that in the case
of a criminal from another State. when
an arrest Is made, the policemen are
Justly entitled to such reward as is
offered for the capture of the criminal.
In such cases no neglect of duty is in
volved as such circumstance is in the ma
ture Of criminal coming the way of the
policemen and they pick him UP. Often
times the policemen work on such cases
when off duty and while they are still
in the service of the Police Department
they receive no extra pay, and there
seems to he no question that they should
receive rewards offered by business firms
or others for the apprehension of Grim
inals.

MANY MARRIAGE LICENSES.
UnususI Demand Made Upon Clerk OF

Clerks in the office Of Clerk of the
Peace Quigley notice that there is an

Thanksgiving Day as the time for hav-
ing the nuptial knot tied. If this con-
clusion be true, and it is a fact that an
unusually large number of marriage IL
censes have been issued this week, there

Ten marriage Licenses were issued yes
