too small for a city of Butles pretensions.
II is not unlikely that this feeling will find

WITHOUT CEREMONY.
The Priest Took the Corner Stone
and Laid 1t all Alone by
Himself.

A large wooden cross standing on the
premises surrounding the Greek Church,
known as st. Peter and ST. Paul, on
Chestnut avenue and Henry street. was
draped in white yesterday morning in an
ticipation of the laying of the corner
stone. When the crowd gathered at two
O'Clock the cross had been stripped
of its covering, and there was
no sign of any preparation.
After the crowd had waited about thirty
minutes Mr.. Dippenberg, one of the con-
tractors erecting the building, arrived
and informed the assemblage that there
would be no laying of corner stone as
announced in the newspapers.
The priest had fixed it all by himself at
the conclusion of the morning services.
A reporter viewed the corner stone,
which is a common piece of
flag stone about eight in
ches square, covering a narrow hole
in the east wall, in which there
was yesterday afternoon an air-tight jar
containing a manuscript history of the
church, with the names of the members
and other details. No reason can be given
for the erratic course of the priest.
His residence could not be ascertained
yesterday, and none of the people could
give any reason for his course. The
church will be completed about the mid
die of November

three walters employed at the same
restaurant, were arrested on the charge
of receiving stolen goods. Frank Davis,
of NO. 39 Essex street, was also arrested
as an accomplice and charge of receiy-
ing stolen goods preferred against him.
For some time past, although the
restaurant has been doing a thriving
business, the management was amazed at
the manner in which the profits fell be-
hind. Assistant Superintendent William
Lendrum, who has been employed there
for the past sixteen years, suspected the
cause of the trouble, and reported to
Proprietor George W. Boutwell,.
On Wednesday detectives were put upon
the case. The waitors were watched as
they came from the restaurant each
night. Saturday night the search was re-
warded. Detectives Clos, kilcauiey
Dalton, Smith and Morris, each made an
found a bottle of hlgh-priced brandy or
whisky, and upon one of them a basket
with nine sandwiches. packages of cocoa
and other articles.
Cartwright, the storekeeper, was found
in the saloon at Hudson and Montgomery
streets. A basket rested on the floor near
him. Detective Smith, who, with Dalton,
was shadowing him, saw another man
pick up the basket and walk out. Dalton
had gone on ahead to watch the home of
Cartwright, where it was presumed some
of the missing goods would be found.
Davis was subsequently arrested by Dali
ton, and confessed that he had thrown
basket of wine overheard.
There are some thirty-odd walters en-
ployed at the restaurant. Others natur-
ally were supposed to be implicated d in a
general conspiracy TO rob the concern.
This morning three more of the walters
were arrested and arraigned with the
others before Justice Wanser, who, owing
to the absence by illness of Justice Still

Court. The three walters arrested this
morning were Gus HOmburger, No. 223
Fourth street; Alex. Dickerson, No. 234

guilty, but all the others, including Cart

EARLY MARRIAGE.
Thoughtful Sermon by the Rev.
David Mitchell at the Scotch
Church.

The Rev. David Mitchell preached a
sermon last evening in the Scotch Pres
bycerian Church on Mercer street upon
early Marriage" He based his re-
marks upon Proverbs, ", IS. and said
among other things
.'This subject lies at the foundation of
social well being. The marriage of the
first man was coeval with his birth, be-
cause he sprang into the full maturity of
his physical powers and mental faculties.
In the same way Eve is no sooner created
than she is presented to her husband, be-
cause she was then full grown and de-
veloped woman.
''Now, there is the principle of the mat
ter-the intention Of the Creator in form
ing man and woman as He did. The
patriarchs, especially considering their
lives of centuries duration, observed this
law. They married when they had fairly
reached mans estate. They regarded
children as blessing.
'sThe Book OF Job is manifestly in favor
of early marriages. When the patriarch
is first introduced he is as yet but a
young man, and one of his Affections con-
sisted in the wholesale destruction of his
children.
"Whosoever reads carefully the laws of
Moses in regard to marriage will see that
