BUILDINGS TO BE UNINSURED.
Mr.. Gibbons brought up the question
of complaint made by the Under
writer's association regarding the de.
feet in electrical wires in two OF the
new buildings, He moved that the
matter be ended by dropping the in
surancs on these buildings. He said
that they were supposed to be as near.
ly fire-proof as any structure could be,
and believed that it was waste OF
money to expend anything on them
for insurance. The motion was
adopted.

whose father has deserted him, was in
dentured to his brother, Henry Comp.

lieves there is ample latitude given tC

ARGUING THE SUNDAY Cases.
Court Listened to What the Attorneys
Had to Say, but Reserved
Its Decision.

Three appsals by defendants in cases
OF summary conviction for violation OF
the Sabbath law were heard yesterday
before the court in hanc.
Colonel T. L. Hitchcock appeared In
the interest of the Pastors union aud
Attorney A. D. Dean represented de-
fendant, Henry Henglsr, in the first
case called. Mr.. Hsngler was put upon
the stand His testimony was to the
effect that he is proprietor OF an eating
house near the corner of Washington
and Lackawanna avenuss; that he sup
plies meals, iuclu1ing tea, coffee and
soda water to his customers.
+. l.. Horns was put upon the stand
by the prosecution aud testified that
he saw worldly business being trans.
acted in Hengler's place on Sunday.
May 6, 1894
The case Of D. s. Ryan was the next
one called. Colonel Hitchcock repre-
sented the defense. Attorneys J. Ell
liot Ross and T. p. Hoban were in be-
half of Ryan. Charles A, Wylie, as
sistant secretary of the Young Mems
Christian association, swore that he
passed Ryan's drug store at noon on
Sunday. May 6, 1894 He saw four per-
sons enter the store, walk up to the
soda fountain, get three glasses OF
soda and pay for the same.
Mr. Dony's testimony was substan =
TALLY the same as Mr., Wylie's, except
that he could not swear that the clerk
at the soda fountain received pay for
the beverage he saw drank.
Attorneys Frank Fitz,immons and
Fred Il, Stark appeared for Cigar
Dealer E. Moses. Mr.. Moses admitted
that he deemed himself guilty OF vio-
lating the act Of 1894 and that was the
reason why he went before Alderman
Fitzsimmons and paid his fine, which
he thought was basis enough to cntitle
him to make plea Of prior conviction
Mr.. Moses denied with much empha.
sis the assumption that there was any
collusion between himself and Alder
man Fitzsimmons by which portion
of the fine reverted to him. Attorney
S. B. Price is i'll. and as he is counsel
for McGarrah & Thomas, the case
against them was not taken up.
Court gave no intimation Of what its
decision in the cases will be.

a BURGLAR lN TIE HILL.
Entered the Residence of r. 3. Williams,
on Clay Avenue

About 1 o'clock yesterday morning
an attempt was made to burglarize the
residence of Il B. Williams, ut $50
Clay avenue.
Mr.. Williams was out OF town on
Thursday, but was expected to return
late that night or early yesterday morn
ing, Thursday night when Mrs. Will
Jams and her daughter retired they
supposed they had locked all the doors
and windows; but the front door.
which has spring lock, did not catch.
About o'clock they were awakened
by foot steps in the hall just outside
their bedroom door, aud thinking it
was Mr.. Williams returning, Mrs.
Williams called to him. Tho intruder
beat nasty retreat. Mrs. Williams.
when she received no response, became
alarmed and went to the window to
summon aid. She saw a man run acroSs
the street and down Clay avenue. She
called to him to stop, but IL ouly caused
him to quicken his pace.
Watchman Miles Gibbons, who ia
doing special duty in that vicinity,
heard Mrs. Williams call, and with
her made o thorough search through
the house. Burned matches were
found scattered here and there through
the lower part Of the house.
A TRIBUNE reporter called ct the
Williams residence last evening and
learned from Mrs. Williams that moth.
ing had been stolen. The thief was
apparently looking for watches, dia.
monds or money, for he overlooked the
costly silverwars that was in the din
ing room.
Thursday afternoon a strange man
came to the back door and asked the
servant if Mr. Williams was at home
When told that he was not. he asked II
there were any small children in the
house, to which question he received
the same reply. and, seemingly con-
tented. walked away.
AT the residence last night no descrip
ton of the man could be given save
that he wore dark coat and u straw
hat, and Mrs. Williams says that the
man she saw running down Clay ave
nue. was dressed in the same way. Thil
is the first attempts at burglary tina. hai
been heard Of on the hill for som'
