Arrigned This Morning.
Last evenings TRIBUNE gave brief &C.
count of the escapade of four young West
Side chaps, who not only rifled a candy
: slot machine, but carried it away bodily
and hid it in a sand bank in the rear oi
: Conant's mill. 1t was located in front of 9
I, store owned and run by a Mrs. Rice or
Dexter street. Carrying 1t to the rear Of
Conant's mill, they broke it open and di-
vided up the spoils, hiding the box deer
, in the sand to avoid detection. Officer
Coombs got an inkling of the matter, and
in true vidoc style, ran the culprits to the
ground.
One of the boys was arrested early this
morning, and when questioned by Chiel
Goldsmith, made a clean breast OF thc
whole affair, giving the names of the
other parties concerned. When questioned
l , at the station three of the boys acknowl-
t edged that they did the deed, and swort
, that boy named Bardsley was implicated
also. The Bardsley boy stoutly main
tanned his innocence, but the preponder'
: ance of evidence was against him.
The boys were arraigned this morning
and each one pleaded not guilty. They
| were bound over i'm the sum of 800 fol
trial next Tuesday. Sergt. Louks and
t Officer Coombe visited the sand bank, but
were unable to locate the machine.

, held a very enjoyable smoke talk and
chowder last evening at Grand Army Hall
! Central street. Previous to the talk meet
ing of the Council was held, at which il

, st. Georges Hall. The rent of the present
, | hall has been raised to such an extent, that
3 | most of the societies are seeking new quar-
5 | ters. After the business meeting cigar:
were lighted, and g. i. A1corn, Grand Su-
| pervisor of Massachusetts was invited tc
speak. w. Pearce Arnold, Foreman of the
Council, introduced Mr.. Alcorn, who gave
short history of the order, and hoped
that each and every member would work
with might and main to increase the mem
bership.
The organization he said had paid out
since its organization over (S70,OOO, 600,
, seventy million dollars, and it was of great
assistance to many bereaved households
In conclusion he asked the members tC
work hard and build up the Council, but
to allow no one into the Council but re-
spectacle members of society.
, Frank F. Frost was introduced, and
called the attention of the members to the
fact that a steaming hot chowder was
