West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1897-02-11

There actually was an arrest
made In Klngwood this week, but
it didn't count after all, as the
party was given chance to furnish
leg bail, and promptly availed him
self of the opportunity. The indl-
vidual was Harry Bishop, and he
hadn't looked long enough on the
liquor while it was red, but had
promptly hid more eff it than he
could carry conveniently, so that
when he met the Town Sergeant,
the latter invited him to call on the
Mayor. The latter was not at home,
however, and as the Sergeant didn't
want to take his man TO durance
vile, he gave HIM chance to
change his latitude and longitude,
while he went to hunt HIS Honor.
OF course Mr.. Jagletts has net
been seen since.

III anyone can or will tell us the
reason the street lamps in this town
were not lighted OIL last Friday
night, the favor will DO gratefully
received. 1t seems that rule has
been adopted thai whenever the
almanac calls for q new moon, the
lamps are abandoned until the al
manac Indicates that tho moon has
disappeared. 1t does not seem to
make much difference whether the
moon sh mes or not. Friday night
was the darkest and most disagree
able night we have had for years.
Walking was dangerous, and the
taxpayers who foot the bills would
have been glad to have had the
"carbons" turned on.

Detective John Moir, of the city po-
lice department, is making an effort
to have the State Detectives associa-
tion hold its first meeting in this
city. The organization has so far
progressed that every detective, city
and county, in the state has been re-
quested to become a member and mat
ters are in such shape now that a date
and a place of meeting to elect OFF,
GERS and further perfect the organiza-
tion are all that remains to be done.
Detective Moir sent a letter yester-
day to Detective Taylor, of Harrisburg,
asking him for the addresses of all the
officials who have consented to Join
and secure other information. Upon
receipt of the response a personal let
ter will be sent to every detective in
the state soliciting his favor for Scran-
ton as a convention place.
The organization will represent every
town which has a police force in the
state. At least 250 members are ex-
pected by the promoters. Philadel-
phia atone will have twenty, We MEM
bers. The purpose of the or imitation
are to perfect a detective syst n which
will facilitate the co-operatio, of the
several city and town departn >nts in
police work. This is the principal aim
of the organization. 1t is proposed to
employ a secretary who will act as
a mediator in the work. The duties
of this secretary will be similar to the
Associated Press association or any
other organization which receives it's
information at a certain centre and
then in turn distributes it among the
patrons. For instance: Shaffer, the
burglar, escapes from Hazleton. In
stead of sending messages to every
placa where Shaffer would likely be To-
Gated, the Hazleton department would
address a communication to the secre-
tary of the state association. He in
turn would send a message to every
department represented in the associa-
tion.
Another aim of the organization will
be to create a personal acquaintance
among the detectives of the state so
| that tha mutual work will be of more
| interest.
The representatives from this city
| will be Detective Moir and County De-
| tective Leyshon. If the effort to have
the first meeting held here is not sue
| cessful the local representatives will
| strive to secure the convention in 1898.

PROPERTY OWNERS OBJECT
Do Not Want MiffIin Avenue Used as a
Market...Have Filed Their Pro.
test with Mayor.

Mifflin avenue property owners have
protested against the use of that thor
oughfare for public open air market
and have appealed by petition to
Mayor Bailey to have what they term
a nuisance abated. Their petition, as
follows, was received by the mayor
yesterday:
Scranton, Pa, Sept. 49, 1897.
To the Honorable James c. Bailey,
Mayor of the City of Scranton.
Whereas, The hucksters and peddlers
assemble every week day on Miflin ave-
nue. to sell their goods and produce
thereby causing annoyance almost un-
bearable to the residents on said avenue
by leaving decayed produce on said ave-
nue. and sidewalk; also allowing their
horses to stand along the avenue caus-
ing a great amount of filth every day, in
addition to the insulting remarks and
profane language INDUCED in by these
parties,
Therefore, we, the undersigned resi-
dents and property holders on Minln
avenue, respectfully petition your honor
that they be removed: II. S. Keller S w,
Keller, J.. w. Keller, C. Keller, w. T..
Gilhool, w. ]. Shiffer. C. A. Keller, A.

Julia Askerman, Mrs. NJ. Askerman,
Isaac Askerman, J. o. Askerman, p. O.
Knight, lsedor Levin, r. r. Black, Miss
Burknett, b. l.. Dunan.
Some time ago the hucksters, farm
ers and peddlers were driven from
their accustomed early-morning stamp
ing grounds on lower Lackawanna
avenue and for the same reasons as
are given for their removal from Mif-
film avenue. Mayor Bailey says he con-
siders them a necessary evil but is at
loss to know where to give them a
location. He will confer today with
Street Commissioner Dunning relative
to the matter.

CONVERTS BY THE HUNDRED

A Religious Awakening in Southern
New Jersey Towns.
A dispatch from Woodbury., N. j., says
A religious wave of wonderful power is
sweeping over all south Jersey, and it
has been many years since a similar scene
has been witnessed. This is accounted
for in a measure by the fact that pastors
have been assisted greatly by evangelists,
whose engagements for a week or 10 days
have been heightened into weeks. These
workers go out through the day, invite
the townspeople to the evening services,
and in many instances the churches will
not accommodate the crowds which seek
admittance, and overflow meetings are
held. Short services at the factories and
warehouses are daily held at the noon
hour, and much good is being accomplish
ed in this way
Pastor Childrey, of the First Baptist
church, in this city, will continue his ser
vices during the coming week. Several
converts were baptised last evening. The
result of Evangelist Hyde's labors in
Swedesboro is the addition of many to the
churches in that little town. Clayton,
Williamstown, Glassboro and Paulsboro
have each had a spiritual awakening that
has resulted in hundreds being united to
the churches.
Evangelist Dalbow has aroused the en-
tire community about Pennville, Salem
county, and people flock to the church
two hours before the time for beginning
the services, so that they may get seats.
Over a hundred names have been added
to the church roll, so being taken yester-
day.
