TURNPIKE COMPANY OBJECTS.
Will Oppose Laying of Tracks on
West Market Street.


More turnpike bother is in the hori-
zon. II. e. Paine, president, and Hon.
w. w. Watson, secretary of the Prov
idence and Arlington Turnpike and
Plank Road company, presented them
selves before the railway committee
of select council last night and gave
the city formal notice that If the Trac-
tion company attempts to go on West
Market street there will be bother
The committee was considering the
ordinance granting this franchise. but
owing to this new development, decid-
ed not to take definite action for the
present, but adjourned to future date
and in the meantime see what can be
done in the way of bringing about
some agreement in the matter.
Mr.. Watson, to a Tribune reporter,
after the meeting, stated that his COM
pany is willing that the Traction COM
pany should build road on West Mar
ket street under certain conditions. One
of these conditions is that it pave the
street from curb to curb as far as its
tracks shall extend. Another is that
the tracks shall be laid in such a
manner that they will in no wise inter-
fere with vehicular traffic. Still an
other is that the thoroughfare shall
be kept open during the track lying and
paving operations.
The two companies have had confer
ences regarding the matter, but no
definite proposition has as yet bsen
considered.
1t is not at all unlikely that the city,
the Turnpike company and the Trac-
tion company may get together and
arrive at some agreement whereby this
bothersome stretch of street shall be
permanently improved and made free
from further litigation.

DID NOT FEAR A SMITE.
Boeckenkomp Wanted IL 10 Begin
Right Away.


John w. Boeckenkamp, a waiter had
a pair OF trousers which he took TO
Endelsohn, a Penn avenue tailor to
have pressed. When Boeckenkamp went
to get his own yesterday the tailor,
1t is alleged, would not surrender the
trousers, saying that he would hold
them until Boackenkamp paid one dol
lar as a deposit on a vest which the
waiter ordered.
Boeckenkamp went before Alderman
Howe and swore out a warrant of
Endelsohn's arrest, charging him with
retaining the trousers, "and convert
ing them to his own use"
Endelsohn was arrested and given a
hearing In the afternoon. Attorney NJ.
A. MCKINLEY was his counsel. Endel-
sohn's defense was that he held the
pants because Boeckenkamp would not
pay the sum Of one dollar for the press
ing process. you're a liar" said
Boeckenkamp time after time to the
tailor.
After one of these kind epithets At
torney Mckinley looked severely at the
aroused waiter and said
"Sir, do you know that my client
might arise and smite your"
Boeckenkamp remarked that he
would like the shifting" business to
begin right away.
Alderman Howe held Endelsohn in
800 bail to appear at court.

The annual meeting Of the Young
Womens Christian association was
held last night. The attendance was
not large, but the number present was
as large as could have been expected
in such unfavorable weather. Reports
were made by the board and associa-
tion officers and by representatives Of
nearly all the committees and the Of
hccrs Of last year were reelected.
Mrs. E. H. Ripple presided. The
meeting opened with the singing of
"All Hail the Power OF Jesus Name"
q prayer by Rev. DR.. c. f. Robinson
and the repeating of the Twenty-tlird
psalm. Mrs. Ripple addressed the
gathering briefly. While the associa-
ton had been splendidly blessed in its
work and had received commendable
support from every quarter where help
had been sought, 1t was to be deplored,
she said, that for the first time in the
associations history there was q treas
ury deficit at the time an annual meet
ing was being held-there would be
such deficit if outstanding bills were
paid.
Tho outlook, Mrs. Ripple remarked,
wds bright and there was no sign of
discouragement; in fact, the accom-
plishments of the past and the possi-
bilities of the future should offer every
encouragement to officers, members
and friends. A good sign, she said,
was the pronounced harmonious zeal
among all who were directly respon-
sible for the associations welfare.
Mrs. c. B. Derman, the recording Sec
retary, read her report, which indi-
Gated a satisfactory progress along all
lines of work.

ELEVEN CHURCHES REPRE-
SENTED


The gathering included representa-
tives from eleven different Protestant
| churches in this city and as was noted
the persons present are among the
leaders in the several Sunday schools.
L. +. Bower, who is instrumental in
| organizing the county, presided over
last nights meeting. Officers for the
district were elected as follows: B. B.
Hicks, president; l.. T. Mates, vice.
| president; George Haldeman, secre-
tary; f. e. Evans, treasurer; supcrin-
tendent of hoem department, Miss
Krigbaum. The executive committee
| consists of w. w. Lathrope, II. H.
McKean and Rev. Foster u. Gift.
The elections as made represent near
| ly every denomination in the city. ].
H. Kays was temporary secretary of
| the meeting. After the organization an
| hour was profitably spent in discussing
| subjects of interest to Sunday school
| workers.
| Mr.. N. f. Nettleton first read a paper
on THE Home Department" Mr.. Net
tleton is interested in the forming of
two departments of home study as an
nexes to the Sunday school. He said
that the idea probably originated in the
1
steady, spiritual growth in the home.
The paper was generally discussed.
Later in the meeting Rev. DR.. Nc
Leod said that "he didn't thing much
Of Mr.. Nettleton's idea" He feared the
| Home department would place pre-
MUM upon absence from the Sunday
schools" Mr.. Nettleton stated that
statistics show an increase not de-
4 crease.
MISS EVANS PAPER.
The next paper was read by Miss Del
la p. Evans on the subject of the "Pri-
| mary Union" Her first alluslon was
in the form of a strong arguing in ef-
feet that the cookies" OF the gospel
should be placed on the lower shelves
so that the children can reach them
| Miss Evans talk on the dearest
weakest and purest part of humanity
showed a wonderful sympathy with
child life" There are now 127 primary
unions in Pennsylvania. said Mis-:
Evans. The tend to develop the teach.
er by active practice not only for the
Sunday school room are they fitted bu
also for more public work. A unior
has been in existence in Lackawannf
county but the attendance is so small
that 1t can hardly be called q success
H. NJ. Streeter talked of the Norma
class in the Sunday school room. Mr.
Streeters remarks We're full of merit
He described the lack or competent
teachers. The material and talent i:
plentiful enough, he said, but develop
ment is needed. The church and Sun
day school are too far apart. They
can by good management and efficient
organization be Joined in a still fur
ther effort for good. The forming of 6
normal class in the Sunday school
said Mr.. Streeter, is commendabl'
thing.
Miss Tillie Hawley followed with 6
discussion OF How to Secure Mort
Scholars" The rest of the time wa!
spent in discussing the proper timt
for the holding of Sunday school. TIL,
next meeting will be held at the cal
of President Hicks.
