General Discussion on the Streets.
Rev. A. NJ. Williams sermon at Wesley
Monumental church Sunday on "Our Moral
Quarantine" was a topic of general dis
cussion yesterday, many approving of the
bold stand taken by him in calling atten-

evils and the failure of the authorities TO
suppress these evils, while others were of
the opinion that little good was to be ac-
complished in this manner.
Mayor Meldrim was out of the city and
consequently could not be interviewed on
the subject. Several of the aldermen were
seen, but none of them seemed in a humor
to discuss the subject at length. II was
admitted that Sunday liquor selling and
gambling were doubtless carried on here
to 4 large extent, but the question they
said was as to where the responsibility
lay Some thought the police commission
should be held responsible for the non-en-
forcement of Sunday laws, and the preva-
lence Of gambling Others thought that
the courts should adopt different methods
in dealing with these violators of the law

George Scott, having been cut early in
the evening in Perry street lane by his
wife. 1t was ascertained after a time that
SCOTS injuries had not been very serious.

The officers were looking for the woman
after the report of the cutting was re-
ceived but they were not successful in
finding her.
The owner of the lady's bicycle, recently
stolen by a 14-year-old negro, Joseph
Lackey, and recovered by Detectives Shea
and Barrett, has been found and the lady
has already called at the barracks and
obtained the property. A description of
the wheel, which was a wine-colored
Centennial" was read by her in the
Morning News, together with the fact
that the lad stated that he had come from
the direction of the Louisville road, and
this was sufficient. she said. to convince
her that the bicycle belonged to her.
