John M Beck was charged before jus

to 4 horse. Beck is carter who carries

half starved animals and his brutal
treatment Of them. Some time ago he
was fined in the Municipal Court for bru-
tally beating a small boy, and this was

The POKER GAMBLERS.
A Further Continuance of the Cases until
Saturday Evening Next.


This morning City Solicitor Ball called
the cases Of Charles Ramsberger and
Charles Reynolds in the Municipal Court,
charged with keeping poker room at
No. Fast Third street. Mr.. Ball stated
that subpenas had been issued for SIX
witnesses and thus far the police had
only been able to secure two of them.
Three of the remaining four had left the
city for the purpose Of placing them
selves beyond the process Of the court.
He thought that there seemed to be
preconcerted effort to defeat the ends OF
Justice He therefore asked the court TO
continue the cases until another time IN
relation to the other witnesses he would
ask that they be continued until proper
time under bail He knew that II was
unfortunate for them but the ends OF
justice demanded their detention as wit
nesses at least
Judge Turner said that the witnesses
had been in confinement for several days
unable to procure bail and with fair
ness to both sides he thought that he
could reduce the bail bonds TO $500 or
$3.50. and thus better enable them TO
procure bail. The city solicitor inter
posed no objection. He said the men
/ who were the witnesses. were the ones
really suffering The principals in these
eases are always able to procure bail
The court then continued the bail Of
Ramsberrer and Reynolds at 81 600, ant
held L. Stroud John Kyle, Evan d. Nor
rison Robert r. Jefleris. Obed Ontten
Walter f.. Woodrow, and j. Pussy Smitl
in $3.50 bail for their appearance on Sat

PRISON REFORM.
DIR. Cook breaches AN Interesting Sermon
on the Subject.

Sunday was what was called Prison sun
day the day appointed by the Boston Prison
Congress for Christian ministers through
out the country to present TO their con
gregations the subject OF prison reform
and kindred topics and especially to diff
fuse information on penology, TO create
an interest in the treatment and reform
alton of the criminals, and to secure due
regard on the part of the citizens to these
great problems in this country's civiliza-
ton.
The day was observed ut the Second
Baptist Church of this city and the
pastor, Rev. K. b. Cook, ID. D., preached
at night upon the subject, taking for his
text To proclaim liberty to the captives
and the opening Of the prison TO them
that are bound He said that If the
churches Of Jesus Christ were not inter
ested in this subject he did not know
where to 50 to speak OF obligation to the
offenders against the laws Of society,
/ PEOPLE thought that when person was
/ behind prison bars that there was
an end Of hope. but there was yet time to
do great work Of reformation and a
/ greater one of prevention.
Christ applies ia Luke 4. these words
10 himself That Christ did not come u
abolish the prison while evil doors existed
was plain in his own words: Render
unto Cesar the things that are Caesars,
and from Paul 10 the Romans tl3th chap
ter and Peter first epistle. second chan
terl both Of whom are expounders Of TIL
gospel Some have been uniustly i'm
prisoned, such as Joseph Jeremiah, Jesus
Paul. Peter Bunyan Reach, Waller an
Holmes, These were for conscience SAX
and Christ never sanctioned such.
Christ does teach the duty Of lesseninl
the horrors Of prisons, Of making I'M
name Che iailor. Of reforming the crimi
nal and Of preventing crime
What we can do for Christ's sake Is
visit the offenders in prison and TO hel
them when they come out. II was l
