difficulty in finding it without buoys.

MATTER OF DUES.
REPAIRS WILL BEGIN.
Not of Sufficient Extent to Satisfy the
Board of Trade.

Street Commissioner Dunning will at
once proceed to repair Lackawanna
and Washington avenues. The work
will be comparatively Insignificant
and will only afford temporary and in
complete relief as the department. has
but 1920 left for the purpose in the
1897 appropriation.
Mr. Dunning's purpose was not suG-
Gested by the recent action of the
board of trade. At daylight Monday
morning work was started at the de-
partment's asphalt mixing plant but
the operations had to be deferred on
account of rain. In making the re-
pairs all the holes will not be filled nor
will asphalt be wholly used.
Certain spots where the surface has
been entirely worn away and the con-
crete left in good condition win be filled
with asphalt. II nc concrete has been
disintegrated the use Of asphalt would
be money wasted. In such cases cen
yrete will be used. 1t will be pounded
and rolled even with the surface and
will at lease serve the purpose of fill
ing
Since the asphalt repair agitation as
sumed such pronounced form, city
officials and others have been notified
of many accidents TO vehicles, horses
and bicyclists. At the time of the
mishaps It probably never occurred to
the persons affected that they had re.
dress. The present stir and publicity,
however, tend to make legal action
against the city quite probable in the
future.

COMBINATION OF OFFENSES.
Causes Alderman Kelly TO Commit
JOaeph Smith.

Joseph Smith was committed to the
county Jail yesterday morning in de-
fault of bail TO answer a series of
charges comprising aggravated assault
and battery, larceny, and threats. Law
renee Denla, of Capouse avenue, is the
prosecutor.
This trouble grew out of other
trouble which arose between Smith
and boarder of Denla's. Not long ago
Smith went to Denla's boarding house
and seeking quarrel with the said
boarder, was soundly thrashed. The
boarder disappeared and Smith had
Denla, the boarding boss, arrested.
Denla was committed and after sew
eral days incarceration secured bail.
OF course, Denla sought redress and
had Smith arrested on the above
charges.
His feeling against Smith was in
creased by the fact that during his en-
forced stay at the county Jail his
(Denla's) household goods were levied
upon and sold for rent due.

MONDAY SERVICE.
1t Was Addressed by Rev. Father
HuntintOn.

Rev. Father Huntington briefly ad-
dressed the large congregation at the
noon service at st. Lukes church yes
terday. He began by saying that peo-
pies ideas differ widely as regards re-
hgion and every day affairs. They
want precision in science, exactness in
philosophy, attention to the ,ninutest
details in law and in the ordinary af-
fairs of life, but they want a theology
of vagueness and a religion of plati-
tudes. When we deal with the AL
mighty and our souls we need not
mysteries but realities. We know that
many are not in right relations with
'iod; we know many charming and
delightful characters who give scanty
recognition to religion. while others are
in state of antagonism against the
thirgs OF God.
Nothing but sin can separate the soul
from God. IT is sin that defeats the
divine purpose. Poverty is hard to
bear, sickness is hard. 1t is woful to
feel the growing inroads of disease and
to see morning come when 1t Is real
lied that one is prisoner within
four walls never to go from thence un-
Ill carried forth in II coffin. Calumny.
losses Of friends and property are hard
to bear, hut none of these separate
the soul from God. Nothing can do
this but sin.
There are two kinds of sin. venial
and mortal A venial sin, while an Of
fense, and therefore a wrong against
God, Is an unintentional offense. A
mortal sin Is one that would cast us
off from God, would separate us forever.
Today Father Huntington will more
clearly define mortal sin in his noon
tide talk. Last evening he spoke at
st. Marks of Love the Gift of God"

TRIED TO DRAW A GUN.
Man Who Is Supposed TO BE Crook
Arrested Last Night.

After he had showed himself ready to
use his revolver, q man thought to be
a high-grade crook was bagged by the
police last night and locked in the
central police station. The cause for

w. train. Has trunk; hold.
VIM. Bennett, Chief of Police.
The telegram arrived too late to meet
the train, but watch on the trunk
was arranged. Special officer Philip
Goerlitz was assigned that duty.
A man answering the foregoing de-
scription presented a check for the
trunk at $50 o'clock, but broke away
from Goerlitz and ran up the platform
when the latter attempted to make the
arrest. Patrolman John Haggerty was
at the end of the platform and made
burlington a prisoner.
Enroute to the central police station
Haggerty had hold of Burlington's
right arm. Burlington made several
suspicious moves with the engaged
arm which were finally construed by
the patrolman to mean the presence of
a concealed weapon. He grasped Bur-
lington more firmly and cautioned him
under penalty of clubbing to go along
quietly, the patrolman not caring to
risk searching the man in the crowded
streets.
At the station house Burlington
whirled quickly about as soon as he
entered the door and made q motion
toward his hip pocket. Haggerty was
too quick for him and succeeded in
extracting from the pocket a 3S-calibre
fiVe-shot revolver.
The prisoner was double locked in a
cell in the woman's ward pending the
arrival here of an officer from Brad
dock. A technical charge of carrying
concealed weapons was entered on the
police docket.
Burlington was nashily dressed and
acted i'll every particular the crook of
high degree. His readiness to make
use of his gun bore out this suspicion
When searched he was found to be well
supplied with money.
