 Praise the Lord ID shouted Dinah S. John son in the police office last evening as she was released from the lookup. and that senti- ment was echoed by the others The eveu- ing had been a very exciting one for the members of the Salvation Army and their supply of religious emotion had been enor- mously increased by the proceedings in which they took an active part. After dili gently praying through the long watches of Monday night orders had come for the Sal vation Army to defy the orders of Mayor Lewis and go forth in battle array against the opposing forces, consisting of Chief of Police Webster, Detectives Reilly and Brew CT and their assistants. The Salvation Army issued from their hall at the usual time bear ing their battle flag. Their band was left behind. They proceeded quietly and cau- tiously up Chapel street. The crowd did not make any open demonstration. but fol- lowed the advancing host. The army took up it's position on the State House steps and opened fire upon the enemy. The opposing forces reconoitred for 8 short time, but finally boldly advanced and storm ed the breastworks The Salvation Army was worsted in the encounter and Chief Web ster led the blushing captain of toward the police station in triumph. The rest of them followed in the clutches of Detectives Brew CT and Reilly, Sergeant Bishop, Officers Sul. tion, the arrested parties gave their names as follows: Henry J. Allen, Wilhelm Weiss, Thomas Beckworth, Herbert w. Clark, Albert E. Ellis, William Cornell Charles D. Brown, Joseph Berry, Dinsh s. Johnson, Jennie McWaters, Abby J. Inniss The charge against them was violating city ordinance. There was crowd in and about the office and when the last hesitating mem- Der of the Army was inside the iron door and Doorman Moore had securely fastened it a subdued smile broke out on the faces of the bystanders. Inside the Army were not idle. They sang and prayed in 8 very much sub- dued manner. In short time the chief of police released them on their own recogniz- ance and the little band marched proudly forth from their prison. One of the young men on seeing the reporters said: ''Now, fellows don't say word to these newspaper men, not 8 word. Don't give them any chance at us at alI," at which they all closed their mouths firmly and marched out of the police station.
 When the Army reached the barracks on Union street after their liberation from pris on there was good sized audience waiting to receive them. The services were begun immediately. Several new converts were on the stage. Several women were in the audi ence. one of them colored woman, who was screaming at the top of her voice and clap ping her hands wildly keeping time with the song The whole band was infused with tumultuous spirit that broke out in loud amens and hallelujahs and wild gesticulations. They thanked the Lord in their prayers that he had delivered them from the prison bars and said that though the police might secure their bodies they could not get their souls. The meeting was one of great earnestness and was prolonged until late hour. The members who were arrested will be tried in the City court this morning.
