Two sons of a Western Pennsylvania
farmer, aged respectfully fourteen and
thirteen years, ran away from their home
recently because their father thrashed
them soundly. They had been guilty of
the awful offence of buying a tame crow
with the contents of their savings bank
nothing more. They had not stolen a
cent of money. nor had they lied about
the use they made of it. The bird had
merely caught their childish fancies, and
they bought it honestly and openly.
More recently still another boy in an
other interior county jumped into the
river to save the life OF q comrade who
was drowning. His effort was successful.
and one home at least was spared the
grief arising from a premature death.
But it appears that he had been com
manded by his parents not to go in
swimming and when he returned TO his
home with water dripping from his cloth
ing the little fellow was rewarded with q
thrashing The act was one which 2
father should have praised and mention
ed with more than ordinary pride, but in
sted he proved himself the unworthy sire
Of q heroic son. and sent the latter to bed
minus his supper and smartfns with pain.

'HOBOKBN GAMBLING DEN
Detectives Raid Meyers Saloon

Eight Men Pro-
prietor Held.

The Hoboken police last night raided a
gambling den in q basement at No. Soo
River street and arrested eight persons.
including the proprietor. The place was
operated in the rear of a saloon kept by
John Meyer. II Was opened a short time
ago and became a notorious resort for
New York gamblers. For the past two
nights detectives have been watching the
house. but they found great difficulty in
gathering sufficient evidence to warrant a
raid. Only those who were acquainted
with the proprietor were SLOWED to enter.
The raid was planned by Chief Detective
Nelson. About ten o'clock last night Mel
son and Detectives Weinthai, kerrigan,
Fallon, Messenkopf and Policemen Leahy
and kruse surrounded the place. Three
of the detectives were stationed in the
rear while Nelson and the others kept
watch in front. AT a signal from Nelson
the posse closed in. Proprietor Meyer,
who was in the barroom, was the first
one arrested. When the gamblers heard
the detectives enter they grabbed their
money from the tables and made an effort
to escape through the rear entrance. Nell
son and his men Immediately drew their
revolvers and commanded them to stand.
Every one in the house obeyed. A patrol
wagon was driven up to the place 8 rev
minutes after the raid and the prisoners
were taken to Police Headquarters and
locked up. :.
The detectives confiscated a quantity of
poker chips. cards, a numbe of roulette
tables and several faro layouts.

new NO. rs FOUNDATION
Thousands Of Piles and Yards
Of Timber as Underpining
for the New School.

For the past week or SO Contractor
Patrick Connolly has had a force of men
and a huge pile driving machine busy at
work driving piles for the foundation OF
new No. l public school,. where old No. I
stood for many years, on York street be-
tween Washington and Warren streets.
Already over two hundred piles have been
driven and over a thousand more are to
be put down before a good substantial
foundation can be obtained on which TO
lay the stones and bricks. 1t win with
out a doubt, AXE over three weeks more
to complete the work Of driving the piles,
as only one machine as in operation.
The logs are from thirty to forty feet
in length and are driven down until they
are below the level of the ground. The
reason for so many piles being used and
being driven down so far is that the
ground is all ~quicksand. On each side of
the school property is a large three-story
brick house with only about two feet be-
tween them and the space where the
school walls will be erected. This space
is all quicksand and after the piles had
been driven several hundred feet OF lum-
Der was driven against the bank to sup
port the houses and TO prevent their
foundations from IdlllnE IN. OH III ioui
sides of the ground piles will be driven.
after which thousands of feet of lumber
will also be put down against the banks
as a safeguard against the q~uicksand.
When all the logs have been driven they
will be sawed off on a level with the
ground. Then the work of laying the
stone foundation will begin.
Contractor Michael Connolly with a
large force of men will start this work
Monday morning. The foundation to be
laid will be a very strong one, to prevent
the quicksand from doing any damage.
First, the ground will be dug to a depth
of about nine feet around the poles and
in a trench-like form. Into this about w
feet of the very best concrete will be
put, IN which the regular foundation
stone will be laid. On top of the stones
comes the red building brick, which will
indeed make a strong foundation. Crowds
gather around each day to watch this
very interesting work, which is progress
ing rapidly.
It has been stated that the new school
would be ready for occupancy by the nrst
of next September.
