WORKED THE SHELL GAME.
New Enough to Get Mr.. Thomas Money
at pcckviiic.

On March II d. p. Thomas. of South
Main avenue was imposed upon by
several fakirs of this city, among them
Paul f.. Martin. The alleged cheat oc-
cured at Peckvllle. Mr.. Thomas had
descended from street car and as he
had leisure time he looked on at shell
game manipulated by Martin. One
man who was betting heavily, and los
ing with just as much weight. who is
supposed to be NJ. ID. Barrett. of this
city, turned to Mr. Thomas and asked
for the loan Of $40.
He wanted the money to make "a
sure bet" as he called It, The shells
were In position and Barrett pointed to
the one which covered the pea. Mr..
Thomas, plying the fellow. advanced
the sum as a loan. The shell was lift
ed, but the pea had skunk under an
other covering. The money was lost.
Mr.. Thomas demanded a repayment OF
the sum, but Barrett laughed at him.
Martin magnanimously presented the
unfortunate Thomas with 81, as the lat
ter was stranded in strange city with
out the wherewthal to pay street car
fare.
Detective Leyshon has been on the
case since that time and Saturday was
successful in finding Barrett Alderman
Moses, of the Fifteenth wayd, Is the
father-in-law of Mr. Thomas, and to
his office Barrett was taken Saturday
evening. Bail to the amount of 5000
was furnished by Barrett. Martin has
not been captured, though Detective
Leyshon is after him.

TESTING THE NEW BRIDGE.
Gives Every Indication Of Being Strong.
Substantial Structure.

Mayor w. l.. Connell. City Controller
f. J. Widmayer and City Engineer Jo-
seph p. Phillips rode upon the new Lin
den street bridge Saturday morning in
barouche, but they did not cross IT..
The asphalt on 1t was finished Friday
at noon, and the visit of the three city
officials was to make an inspection, be
right, so that they may be ready to ac-
cept 1t from the Edge Moor Bridge
company in a day or two.
The Crystals team and fire engine
were driven upon the structure at a
high rate of speed. and so satisfactory
and substantial has the workmanship
been, together with the first-class quail
lty of material used, that not a quiver
was discernible in any of the long rods
that make up the spans. The steamer
weighs $500 pounds and the team 5000.

tai house, Foreman Harvey Long and
three others rode on the engine. max

Messrs. Horn and Zizelman, two

springs bend. But, although both
teams and engines with their respective
loads were driven across at full speed.
scarcely a vibration was noticeable in
any of the spans.
THE papers of acceptance will be
made out In few days. perhaps to-
morrow, and J. +. Scheedy, foreman for
the bridge company, will turn the struc-
ture over to the city. The next ques-
tion is. How will the other side of the
bridge be reached? The resolution let
ting the contract to King & Cleary, of

Mayor Connell. The contractors will
set men to work right away filling up

receives formal notice from Mr. Phillips
of the acceptance oi'the bridge he will

ANOTHER CHURCH WAR.
This Time 1t Is the Lithuanians of provi
dcncc Who Cannot Agree.

uence W no cannot Agree.
The priest of the Lithuanian Catholic
church, located on North Main avenue,
read mass yesterday morning under
the protection of squad of police
officers in charge of Lieutenant SPELL
man. In the squad were Officers Dug
gan. May. Hawks and Sanitary Officer
Burke. 1t was expected that violent
measures would be taken to prevent
the priest from reading mass. but the
appearance of the police prepared to
quell the slightest symptom of dlsor-
der. prevented an outbreak of any
kind.
Last spring the basement for q
church was erected by the Lithuanians
on the plot of the Electric City Land
company The building Is to front on
North Main avenue, and when COM
ple;ed 1t Is expected that 1t will be an
imposing structure. The members of
the congregation had not enough Of
money last spring to complete the
church, and contented themselves with
roofing over the basement and using
that as temporary place of worship.
Within a week there has been
trouble between the priest and congre-
cation about money matters, and Sat-
urday he was arrested and arraigned
before Alderman Fidler. of the First
ward. He was released by the alder
man and in the evening a number of
the members of the congregation went
to the church with hammers and locks.
intending to nail up the windows and
fasten the doors so that the priest
could not enter.
Complaint was made to Lieutenant
Spellman and he placed eight men.
who We're trespassing on the church
property, under arrest and locked
them in the North End station house
for the night. Yesterday morning their
attorney, c. w. Dawson. had them en-
ter bail to appear at a hearing in
Alderman Fidler's office this evening at
8 o'clock.
While in the station house several of
the prisoners said there would surely
be blood shed If the priest attempted
to say mass in the church yesterday
morning. To nip any demonstration
In the bud sufficient force of officers
was on hand yesterday morning to
preserve the peace.
