Ii MAS THE INTENTION
To Prosecute the Base Ball Bat
terles for Sunday Desecaation,
But the Job Appeared Interminsble and
twas Decided 10 take Further Time
To Think IL over.

The great moral upheaval that
emanated N the secret sessions OF the
pastors conference, and struck terror
TO the hearts of evil doors on last sun
day, seems likely 10 fall As limp and
harmless a cold pancake.
lt was rumOred yesterday that the
conference had sent u committee 10 the
Sunday ball game At the Lake, and had
m this way secured the names OF 200
spectators and all the players. and that
the prosecuting attorney had gwen an
order for an arinful OF warrants. IN
the afternoon, while the conference
held another session, the transgressors
OF the law We're lnqulrlng the prices OF
railroad tickets or taking 10 the woods.
Revs. c. l.. Preston and ". Denman
We're deputlZed, much against their
wills. 10 sign the complaints and take
out the warrants IN Justice WestfalPs
Office. When the reverend gentlemen
came 10 toe the scratch they seemed
20 lose their nerve, and held a
consultation IN husky whispers
with Justice Westfall, while the report
ers hung around in anxious eXpecta-
ton. They then retired TO the back
room and held 4 long eSslOn III the
presence of the coal box, until the
press retired and his honor was again
alone. Mr. Preston then propounded
questions 10 the justice, while his COM
pan.ou kept an eve on the sklrmisherS.
He inquired, if ne should sign the COM
plant and prosecute the offenders this
time, If the myrmIdOns of the law would
take the cue and make the necessary
complaints against the Sabbath break
ers "a the future.
HIS Honor thoughtnot, but intimated
that some one outside the sheriff IS force
must make the complaints right along,
and look after the prosecution OF the
trausgrc~sOrs.
lie would always be ready to fill out
the warrants, and the officers would
cheeriu.lv make the arrests, but none
of them were in the habit OF lnsttutlng
proceedings for petty mistemeanOrs.
This seemed 70 be poser, and after
a good deal of argument, and the ex-
preston OF regrets that { was necessary
for citizen TO step IN between the law
and the officers, IN order 20 put the ie-
gal machine IN motion, Mr.. Preston
concluded that they had better sleepon
the matter and let 1t rest until this
morning.
The two clcrgymen retired from the
halls of Justice at 8 O'Clock, apparently
wishing that some one else had been
delegated 10 the task of making com.
plants: and Justice Wcstfall lit his pipe
and went home 10 supper.
Il was the intention of the prOsecu-
tors 10 make complaints against the
batteries OF both clubs, and prosecute
them as an example for those who
might come after them.

A STATEMENT
From III. VI. Atwood, Agent of the War
ren-Scharf Paving Company.


To the mayor and Honorable Board
of COuncIlmen, Street Committee and
aldermen of the Third ward, and the
public generally. | wish to here state
that | came here in the interest Of the
Warren-Scharf Asphalt Paving Com
pany by request, IN order, If possible, TO
work up a sentiment in favor of our
pavement-the Trinidad asphalt sheet
pavement, and no other, such as we
have laId IN the following cities: Gin
clnnatl, Chattanooga, Columbus, De
troit, Syracuse, Montreal. Toronto,
Toledo, st. Paul, Uuca, Rochester,
Savannah, etc. Wewere also requested
to bring a sample Of our pavement here
for your people In Grand Rapids TO see
and inspect, and which many of you,
no doubt, inspected at that time at
your city hall. We could not bring a
whole street, but brought as much of
one as We could afford, VIZ: a section
of street, say 3 feet long by p wide,
with top and foundation, taken out Of
the center of Race-st. IN Cincinnati, o.,
that had been IN actual service for
three years and nine months and stood
test of 204 tons per foot
Of width per day, as competed
by the city surveyor in SAID city,
in that time; also another price taken
from PennSylvania-ave., Washington,
that was LAID in 1876, each showing
very little wear, as you all could see Tor
yourselves. II has been said At one OF
our street Committee meetings, also in
slnuated at the council meeting last
evening, that the representative OF the
above named company has mlsrepres-
entcd MS wares to property owners on
SucldOn-st. IN order to get them TO gn
lis petition for his WaTcs-or pavement
by stating that it would cost them
$40 Der front foot on SAID SheldOn-St.
simply deny every, any ana al such
erroneous assertions. am not IN the
Misrepresentation business; not en-
ploved nor paid 10 do tnat business,
neither would be upheld by nay firm
for sucn action. All / ask IS tor
3uOtncrs. Look at the pet-
/ chose Sue.dOu-st. because u was a
graveied street, and I thought needed
I paving. and the property owners are
ahunddutly able 10 stand the expense.
/ When those blocks were paved, ] was
/ confident that the balance of the street.
20 Wealthy-avC., would petition Tor it-
We are taking mp reTllar pavcments
and laying down ours Il many cities,
and laying on all sorts of foundation.
] chose Csnal-st. also. How s that
/ foundation, It's not only unfair. but
unbecOc ug. 10 accuse another OF m 70

clearly tated in nay petition.
