he understood that Judge Gray was
willing TO go on the bond of Cornell IL
the Magistrate had decided to hold him.
When Judge Gray was asked about
the matter yesterday he said:

Militia MoboIized.

As a precaution to protect the thousands
Of rounds of ammunition and thousands of
rifles stored in the building a detail Of 100
members Of the First Delaware Infantry
was mobilized last night in the State
armory at Twelfth and Orange streets,
fully prepared to cope with any emerg-
ency.
Not to uuen any uprising Of a frenzied
populace were the troops assembled, for
wilmington enjoyed more peaceful night
since Miss Bishop was murdered, just
eleven days ago. nor were the troops in
readiness for immediate action through
any official orders from Governor Hum.
They we're simply armed and equipped
with rifles and bali cartridges by COM
mand of Adiutant General I Pusey
Wicilersham to protect the States build
ing and its munitions OF war from any
excitable throng that might have attempt
ed 10 conhscate or destroy the property
Troops Assemble Quickly.
So quietly did Adjutant General Wick
ersham perfect his arrangements that the
presence of the troops in the armory build
ing became known only to the police and a
few citizens. The guardsmen assembled at
the brilliantly lighted armory in response
to the summons from the Adjutant Cen
eral and were put under the active COM
mand Of Major Simon p. Doherty, ranking
officer of the Wilmington battalions.
The militiamen we're selected from COM
panies A, c, d, and F. Of this city.

sentries were posted at the entrance 20
the building with positive orders to per-
nit nobody to enter, and the glistening
brass Calling gun was run out into the
corridor and into a position commanding
the entrance to the armory, while squad
stood ready to man it the entire night.
Not a civilian was allowed access to the
building. The troops will remain in readi.
ness to do service until General Wicker.

Peace seems TO have settled over Will
minSton. The police will not relax their
vigilance, however. and tonight will find
the whole police force still on duty. A de-
tachment of the National Guards will still
remain at the armory TO protect the State
supplies there until the riOtious feelings
have calmed down and people begin to
reason and think clearly. Tonight there
will be a big crowd on the street, but the
authorities expect no trouble. They will
be on the alert however.
Saloons Closed.
AS result Of an order issued yesterday
afternoon by the Police Commission All
saloons were tightly closed last night and
1t is possibly due to this precaution that
the iioting Of Thursday night was not re-
-peated. The following was the order sent
out and the saloon keepers obeyed it with
out murmur:
wilmington, Del, June 26, 1908.
BY direction of the Police Commission
of the city of Wilmington, I hereby or
der all saloons and bars where intoxi-
eating liquors are sold in this city to be
closed at o'clock p. m. and to remain
closed all night
GEORGE BLACK,
Chief of Police.
All pool and billiard rooms were also
closed and the police prevented the forma-
ton Of crowds, keeping everybody on the
move. The Wilmington Institute Free
Library was closed at O'Clock in order
10 prevent large gathering OF people
\ about that building.
All the police were again on duty and de-
spite their already long virgil, remained
on the streets during the greater part OF
the night. Small crowds Of negro men and
boys oongregated on corners at intervals
but were not allowed to remain long.
Move on" was the order and everybody
moved.
