Special to Tho Evening Journal
New Castle. Feb 11.-Catholics of this
city arc much agitatcd over the rumor
that the Rev. f. L. Brady, pastor Of st.
Peters r. c. church may be transferred
to st. Mary's Church. Wilmington to sue
ceed tho late Father Kelly.
Father Brady has had charge Of the
parish in this city for the past twenty
ive years and has endeared himself, not
only to members Of his church but TO the
people Of New Castle and his departure
from here would be much regretted. When
spoken 70 on the subject Bishop Mon
aghan said yesterday; "You must not be-
lieve all that you hear. Father Kelly has
scarcely been buried and have not con-
sidered so far. the appointment OF sue
cossor 70 him. Since his pastorato in New
Caetle II is said that on three occasions
the removal Of Father Brady to larger
parish was contemplated. but that such
strong pressure was brought to bear
through his congregation that the bishop
decided to allow him to remain In charge
OF ST. Peters.
It Is further said that In the event Of
Bishop Monaghan deciding 20 transfer
Father Brady 10 ST. Mary's that Father
Mcsweoney, OF ST. Paul's. Delaware City
may be placed in charge Of this parish.
This is scarcely possible. however, as
through the efforts Of Father McSweeney
a new church has recently been built IN
that parish and he would naturally desire
10 remain in charge until the church
debt Is cleared on

mc.ion TO revoke the franchise granted

Delaware Mater Improvement Company
win ask that the time for completing the
work of building the plant and putting
Il In operation be extended TO not later
than September l.
This the company viii contend is neces-
sary on account of the extreme cold
weather OF the past six weeks which has
made IL an impossibnity 20 open up
