congregation was made up OF men repre-
senting many natioDalities. The majority
of them were arrayed in blue oyeralls and
flannel shirts. Very few wore coats OF sns-
penders. Some sat on rough benches:
on top OF furnaces, and Leaned
against posts. Others balanced them
selves on cranes, cross-beains. while
some twenty or more roasted lazily on
long steel girder, high above the head or
the preacher. The services were conducted
by Rev. Clarence Adams. of the First Bap-
list Church, of Franklin. Pa. who Is chap

money in aid of English labor candidates

were also delivered In German and other

WIFE. Beaten NABBED.
Thomas WASHINGTON in the Clutches of the
Law Second Time

Several weeks ago officers Hoefgins and
Corban arrested Thomas Washington, liv-
ing at 23l Orange street. for an assault and
battery upon his wife. Thomas however,
well knew Judge Buskirk's penchant of
"soakinR" wife-beateTs. and had no desire
to appear before him. He was an old man.
and it was not thought necessary to chain
HIM: he watched his chance. and when the
officer was off his guard, leaped from the
wagon. William Colbert who was in
charge of the wagon, leaped over the
side-rail in pursuit. and sprained his
ankle BY the leap. so that he
was unable to pursue Washington.
The officers had tried in vain since that
time to again secure the escaped WIFE
benter. Last night they succeeded. Wash
incton had drunk pretty freely during the
day. and was caught lying on the ground
between his house and the one adjoining.
He had two powders in his pocket which
he said he intended to use to prevent tho
officers arresting him. When put into the
wagon Colbert was particular to see that
he was securely chained. tie says he did
not strike bis wife. bnt simply took hold OF
her and pushed her into the house to pre-
vent her from going to- the honsa of q
neighbor whom he did not consider prop
or person for his wife to visit.
