Mo fln«k»t«n on the streets and All the Corner Stand* Hot Three Closed To day. According to notice served by Clerk of the Markets Hickey the produce dealers on King and Fourth streets closed out their stock of produce on Saturday night as close as possible and this morning not one of their stands could be seen. They have quietly obeyed tho order given, although one and all declaring that the en forcement of the old ordinance after laying dormant rince 1852, is, to say the least, un fair and unjust, One representative street dealer said this morning, when asked if the hucksters and produce men, as a class, in tended to take any action in the matter,said they were not. They knew they were acting against the law and felt there was no redress creep by repealing the old ordinance and making a new one to cover the situation. For his part, und he thought he could speak tor the others, he would ten times rather be Indoors than standing in the street. He was not at all anxious to be ex|>osed to all kinds of weather, but if the offending dealers were compelled to go to the murket houses they might as well shut up buisness,being unable to compete with the farmers who paid llceuse lor obstructing both the street and the sidewalk. He favored, and wan sure the rest did, the city providing market houses and doing away with the present system. It would be better for all, aud the city would also derive mi income. Anothei man. and one of the very largest dealers in the locality said he would just put his goods in Ills cellar m ar by and in three days he would como out the same as liefere, as a new ordinance upon the subject of selling in the streets would be intro duced before Council next Thursday. When reminded that such an ordinance could not be passed for at least two weeks lie said that made no difference, for as soon as It was presented the hucksters would be back at their old places. Several owners of stands havo secured stalls In the Third street mouth's rent in advance. One of those who have done so says It will cost him at the rate of $1.85 per week, but very little over the expense of his present place in the open air. It now costs, he said, 60 cents a •ek lor a wutchmau and 80 cents to the city, while some other dealers paid as high as 50 cents to the Clerk ol the Market on Wednesdays ami Saturdays. In the market house he could lock up Ills goods where they would lie protected and safe from the •athcr,while under existiugclreumstances. notwithstanding the watchman, there was a certain araou it of anxiety lor their wares at night. They are only resting upon their oars, so to speak, and Council is exi ecte 1 to have a lively time before the vexed question is sat isfactorily settled. The new ordinance to be presented by Mr. Baugh at the next meeting of Council is anxiously awaited, and a strong fight is no doubt to be made to have the present obnox ious ordinance wiped out of existence. Some of the business men haviug stores de clare that they mean to push against the use of the streets by dealers who pay a very slight, if any sum, for the privilege, while at tho expense of renting ket, paying a the objectors storehouses. THE l'RUIT AND PEANUT VENDERS. Clerk Hickey also told the owners of the pcuuut and fruit stands at the corners of the streets, on .Saturday, that to-day they would be compelled to stop operation?. Accordingly this morning the only ones who opened were those of Sixth and Market and the southwest cjroer of Fourth and Market, both of whom have paid the city for a |K*rmit to allow them to sell to a certain date. The stand at Ninth and Market streets, which is off irom the pavement line, ithout a roof, does d Is virtually a store ithiu the meaning of the ordi not come bailee. The stands at the intersection of Market Btreet ut Eighth, Fifth and Third streets are closed and forsaken. The on»* along the side ol Robinson's banking house is closed, so far as sales are com meut is fi led up as a store, parties running the »Land was uoticcd this morning puiting his trays of peanuts on a frame work over the area way. Whtn asked if he had uot beep ordered to stop selling or tho sidewalk, he replied that be He added that "Me put the raw •erned, but the base* One of the bad. p anut on outside, but sell the roasted one down," pointing to the cellar. "Me no sell him out hear." Clerk Hickey called upon Mayor Wales this morning and asked the latter if he would back him up In any complaints that might be brought before Ills Honor. The Mayor said he would, and Informed Hickey, when asked, that the action of Council oil the 15th Inst, annulled all permits granted to peanut stand keepers. Mr. Hickey left the room and in a few minutes returned with David Lemon and had a warrant issuing for the arrest of Lawrence Cavcnder, who stands at Sixth and Market streets. A gentleman who can speak Italian and hail aided the offender it» purchasing his stand and transacting other business for him,asked His Honor how it was that the man was in terfered with. He stated that Cavcnder had paid a license or received a special per mit from Council ff°od i|ut|l nejft April, and had also paid $210 for the stand. The explained that the of Council did away Wiillc the gentleman vas reso with Mayor liitinn the permit. , „ . , talking David Lemon continually inter rupted him, and asked what business he had to take up for the Italian ns against the business men ot the city. Mild he w»b merely espUinipc to the Mayor how the case stood, and had no further lu tere&t In the matter, and then turned hie Mr. Lemon kept on at. intervale, mueh to t k e annoyanee of those present, Ineludlmr the Mayor and chief. His Honor informed the ^epilpman tirhp represented the Italian that lie had acted perfectly proper, and did what he should have done under the circumstances. While the warrant was l>cln<r filled up Lemon turned to Hickey and told him to gu to Fourth and Market and have the woman there arrested, whercupou the clerk replied sharply, "Mr. Lemon, I know my business aud will attend to It. The warrant was served ar.d Ihe case will most likely be heard tn-nlftht. Tlie niau arrest d has just flnlshed paying Lewis Frank tlie $210 for tho 6tand, besides which he al6o rents a cellar under the tea store on Sixth street, wbero lie scU* his fruits and other etoep, The 'gentleman back n« the J this year.

The man was warned by "Slim Jim" that the offle r was watching him. Soon Jim came out, and endeavored to get Officer McCullough to go up the 8treet with him. Knowing the man would not cotne out until be had gone the officer consented. Jim then went into the [dace presumably to tell the man to come and leave as soon as the count wus clear, and came out agaiu to go with Officer McCullough. Meantime Officer Vickers had come along and McCullough, telling him to watch for Curtis, went away for a short time with "Slim Jim." Curtis saw officers Vickers and still afraid to leave Dugan's,and finally win n officer McCullough had returned Inft the saloon by the back way and came down the alley in the rear of the Green House ready to cut and run. "ilim Jim" tiled to cover bis flight but officer McCullough caught him and started with him to the ball. At Second and King streets he met Scrgeaut McConnell, and as he (McCullough) was in citizen's clothes he handed him over to that officer. At police court yeßterday morning Curtis was held for court in the sum of $200. The watch was recovered. Curtis Is a Philadel phia thief, and a pal of "Slim Jim."

Paul'sM. £. Chareh —The Improvements und the Servteee Tester day. ftt. Paul's M. E. Church was reopenod yesterday morning with religious services, after having been closed for several months during wiiich extensive alterations aud re pairs have been made. The improvements arc very marked. The front doorway is slightly changed by being arched and the doors placed on a to swing outwardlv, and making two neat outer vestibules. The ceiling of the lower vestibule luside his been elevated eight feet, taking In a part of the front windows nnd constituting at the same time a floor for a low gallery In the audience room. Double doors art! placed at the landing ol each side stairway making entrances at the corners of the room, instead of centre as before The pews are arranged in three blocks, mak ing two center and two wall aisles. The pews are resin)|M'U and upholstered and art as comfortable pulpit platform and altar rail ure rebuilt at proper height, and a small, rich, black, walnut pulpit is placed on one corner of the platform, and a reading desk on the other, leaving the center of the platform open and the minister unobstructed from the view of the congregation. The old side and front galleries are all removed. The side wall between gallery and floor windows have been eut out and new, full-length frames, bash and stained glass windows have been put In, having rich and mellow effect. New matting covers the vestibu'e floor and stairways, and new ingrain carpet of rare flgur» in green, black and crimson colors, made to order, covers the audience room floor and «gallery.

It is a combination of Greek, Egyptian and Ea6t lake work, agreeable to the architecture of the building, and blending its soft, rich colors that the lovers of simplicity and elaborateness can admire It alike. The hanging chandeliers are removed from the celling, so that those seated in the gal lery have easy view of the Rpeaker.

The sermon was a masterly review af the grand plan of salva tion, and the importance of persuading others to become Christians, and the need of regeneration as an adjunct to purity of heart were dwelt upon at length. In warm terms of praise the parson. Rev. M. A. Richards, spoke of the work which had been done by the people o.f tho church in securing the beautilql changes which ha»l been made to the church edifice.

TBK STATK DEBT. Its Rapid B«d«iO|>Uwu~ i Is Not Mif 1 aid a Little Too Rapidly t [Sunday Star. 3 The public announcement of the State Treasurer that he will, during the first week of January, redeem Delaware State bonds to the amount of $90,000, give* rise to the question whether we are not extinguishing our State debt at a rate somewhat too rapid to serve the best interests of the present generation. Financially, the State of la ware 1$ exceedingly well ftsatjL Her debt Is not large, and le offset by the poe securities that reduce the session of actual indebtedness to a very trifling figure, while her revenues are so ample and so readily collected as to easily provide for the prompt meeting of every obligation, thus placing the credit of the State at a point not surpassed by that of any other Bute iu the Union. Under the existing financial arrangements the State debt can bo entirely extinguished lu a very few years, but a great many people are of the oplnlou that It would be the better plan to reduce the rate of taxatiou and postpone the total pavmentof the debt for a few* years longer. As our tax laws are now framed tho upon the manufacturing interests, aud any legislation that tends to free these interests from financial embarrassments is just much help to the good work of developing our resources atid adding to the material wealth of the State. For instance, If the present basis of taxation will meet all cur rent expeuses and leave a surplus sufficient to wipe out the State debt in seven or eight years, would It not be letter to relieve the people by a reduction of the revenues, and '-xtend the final settlement of the debt for a longer period. We do not hold that "a national debt is a national blearing" but we can reudily per ceive how the existence of a small debt, the Interest upon which does not burden the people, can be viewed as a beuefit Instead of h disadvantage. If its continuance lightens the burden of taxation (as it certainly will) here is one great point, and another is that as long as the debt exists the Legiriature will ./e reluctant to increase its extent for real or faucied needs. An entire freedom from debt might lead to extravagances that would seriously oppress the people, while the existence of a considerable obligation would form a sufficient pretext for keeping strictly iu the path of economy and wise government. The question Is worthy of serious consid eration, and It would be well for the Legis biture, at the approachiug session, to give it careful attention, and see whether the State is not rich enough to reduce Its debt very -lowly lor a few years and put the mon y thus saved into the pockets of the people. burden ol taxation falls AN OFFICER'S GRIEVANCE. He Writes a Piece for the Papers About Himself. The following furnished us by one of Mayor Wales officers may possibly explain tself, although of no particular interest to reader* : Officer Bowers says that the statement was made before 'Squire O'Neill that the order that was given to arrest Ryan must have been giveu fu a very low tone or that Hickmau was iu a great measurse the cause of the excite meut at the poll6 himself, by refitting to take Mr. Ely's vote, when It was offered, by shutting down the window several times; also by refusing to take Mr. McKay's vote, a man who has paid taxes for the last 25 years In this city. Officer Bowers had Hickmau arrested for disorderly con duct af the election, November 7, which dis orderly conduct consisted in abusing the whole police force in general and making threats. He way truly a great man on that day—a man of muscle, to hear him talk. The questiou arises : Why did uot Hick man have officer Bowers arrested some time ago. This charge, which he brings, he says happened the 3d of October. It looks very spite action. He says there was a warrant swore out then, but It was not served for some reason. Now what can ne the reason. Perhaps he was not himself exactly. uch like Charles T. Bowers. -a Official Figures.
