At about four O'Clock this morning the
attention of Policemen Guinan, who is
stationed at the Hoboken ferry, was at
tracted by the strange actions of a couple
of young fellows carrying some bundles
under their arms. They took circuitous
route to the ferry entrance and seemed
bent on escaping notice. The policeman
headed them off and questioned them.
Their answers did not satisfy him and he
placed them under arrest. When brought
to the station house they gave their
names as John Murray, an engraver, of
No. 400 Greenwich street, New YORK. and
George Kelley, of No. 304 East Fourteenth
street. Twelve pairs of shoes We're found
in their possession. Sergeant Edmond
ston rightly guessed that the fellows had

SIX STARVED LITTLE ONES.
Hoboken Mother Spends the City's
Charity Money for Rum.

A Hoboken Mother Spends the City's
Charity Money for Rum.
A sad case of desti. on owing to the
lax energy of the Poormaster, was I'M
earthed in Hoboken this morning.
Six little children, the eldest nine years
of age, were found starving in miser-
able novel at the corner of Adams and
Fifth streets. while their mother Law
in the corner of the room in
a beastly state of intoxication. She
hustled off to the station house Her
curses and rawlings were something fear
full to listen to. In an incoherent voice
she gave her name as Ann Cook, Il widow.
The poor little tots when some food was
procured ate more like famished wolves
than human beings. Their pinched faces
and meagre clothing would make any
humanitarian's hair stand on end.
The woman was brought before Re-
corder McDonough, but she was too
drunk to give any account of herself, and
was brought back to a cell. The Judge
rendered, however, that the woman had
been an habitual drunkard and had been
receiving aims from the city for some
time. When the Judge heard of the CON
dition of the six little children he imme-
diately started an investigation
1t did not take him long
to learn that the money which
the inhuman mother had received from
the Poormaster had been spent in rum,
and that the children were compelled to
beg. Councilman Timken, the only
member of the Poor Committee, was tele-
phoned for and when he arrived signed a
warrant committing the half starved
young ones to the Almshouse at Snake
Hill.

G. Frank Sutherland Appears at the
Union Meeting In Place OF Mr.. Scudder.
While Evangelist Mills was conducting
services at the Park Reformed Church
last evening union meeting of members
of Evangelical churches. south of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, was held at the
Scotch Presbyterian Church, Mercer
street
The large building was thronged by an
interested audience who took part in the
preliminary service of song in which
Coronation, !" What a Friend We Have
in Jesus" were rendered without insJru-
mental accompaniment
The pulpit was occupied by the Revs
David Mitchell, w. Il. Duryea, of the
Lafayette Reformed Church. and Thomas
Houston, the blind evangelist, and Mr.. G.
Frank Sutherland. The regular services,
conducted by Pastor Mitchell commenced
with the congregation singing "Old
Hundred" and the reading of the sixty
second chapter of Isaiah, and prayer by
the Rev. w. R. Duryea. The Rev. Mr..
Mitchell then read letter from the Rev.
j. e. Scudder, of the Tabernacle Church,
in which he said he felt compelled to at
tend the services at the Park Reformed
Church, but that he had sent acompetent,
worthy representative, recent convert,
A RECENT CONVERT.
Mr.. Sutherland being introduced said -
"a few days ago had any one told me
that at the close Of this beautiful Sabbath
day would be standing in this place to
proclaim the love of God and to urge sin
ners to repentance, l would have con-
cluded my informant to be a fit subject
for q lunatic asylum"
After referring to his wasted life of
forty years, in which he had trodden all
the paths of sin and worldly pleasure, and
expressing regret therefor, he said:--..It
is better for me to speak OF Gods love
and His plan for saving lost men than of
myself. l come before you in the strength
of the Master. relying on Him for grace,
to say few words in the hope that some
may be led like myself to lay hold upon
Christ and eternal life.n
He briefly recounted the story of Baal-
am, who in spite of himself testified seven
times for God and then exclaimed, 'sIet
me die the death OF the righteous, and let
my last days be like his" The latter was
the text for the remainder of his remarks.
which ended with an appeal to the i'm
penitent not to let another meeting pass
without determining that. .As for me
and my house, we will serve the Lord. y
A SINGING SERMON.
Evangelist Houston sang the solo and
the congregation joined in the chorus.
What Will You Do in that Wonderful
Day?n and delivered an earnest address.
in which he depicted the reward of the
believer and the punishment of the inn
penitent In eternal outer darkness. DUR
