dred and fifty persons were present and
shook hands with the pastor and his
family. 1t would be supertluous and
unnecessary to say that there was a
glad and jovia commingling of spir-
its when such congenial souls as the
two Pickels, (J. G. and Zach.) Todd,
Pyle, Cannon, Baynard and others led
the van Everybody was happy, and be-
tween the music and the social conver-
satlon, ice cream, that held out like the
Widows cruise Of oil, ecake and fruit
were plentifully sandwiched. The

INSULTING LADIES.
The Offenders Captured but Escape
From the Police.

For the past two or three days two
men have been in the habit Of standing
at the gate leading into the Swift, Court.
ney Il I'eecher Company's Match Facto-
ry, in this city, and insulting the lady
employees as they passed in and out.
They even went so far as to grab their
shawlS and hats.
Yesterday ex policeman Robert w.
Chambers, who is employed at the
works, laid in wait for the men, and
when they appeared he suddenly caught
them, and at once had word telephoned
to the police station for officers. He de-
tained them until the officers arrived.
when he turned his prisoners over to
their custody. While on the way to the
hall, the men escaped from the officers,
who gave chase but without effect.
Who the men were is unknown, but
should they be caught in the act again,
a good cowhiding would be a good
chastisement.

General Prevalence or Pneumonia.

Pneumonia has been more prevalent
in New York within the week or ten
days past than at any previous season
at This time, and, what is worse, the
proportion of fatal cases to the total il
unusually large. The prevalence of
northwest winds, it is belived, has
something to do with it. The departures
for Atlantic City, Fortress Monroe,
Florida, Bermuda, Nassau and other
places southward, whore a supposed ref
llge from the prevailing harsh tenlpera-
ture is to be had, are quite numerous,

ton of several houses on this street, bnt
have been unable to complete them ow-
ing to the fact that Mr.. Garrett, Chair
man Of the Opening Streets Committee,
has taken the contractor into the Ninth
Ward to have Market street graded,
and allows Harrison street to remain in
stntu quo. We are compelled to pay
taxes on Our street-Harrison-as well
as the property owners do on Market
street, and we are just AZ we'll entitled
to have our street graded as they are.
| think it is about time that Council
should look into this matter, see that
Justice is done us, and that Harrison
street be graded at once. Mr.. keogh,
the contractor, has not complied with
the conditions of his contract, az the
grading of the street was to be compile
