Stuffed Dummy Dressed in Sol- dier RegaIia Hanging
 to a Post.

At 2:SO o'clock this morning Fleming Miller. well known young man, came rushing down Third avenue to Twentieth street and in an excited manner reported to Officer Bodeker that a woman was hanging to a telephone post on the corner of Third avenue and Twenty-frst street. He was greatly agitat ted and stated that another woman was standing on the side walk under the pole.
 The officer thought the man was drink Ing and tried to persuade him that it was an illusion.
 Mi''-r ',1 not stop to argue the question, Hu- sontnled up Twentieth street.
 atasr Bodeker decided to investigate, al- fna. did not put any credence in the Ieu.a# N len he reached the corner Of = tue telephone post on the southeast corner of the street. The figure was that of man, and was hanging about twelve or fifteen inches from the ground.
 A ladder was secured and, with the as- sstance of Officer Langston, the figure was cut down. It represented man dressed in the uniform of a soldier, and bore large placard on which was printed:
 DIR. WEAR,
 FIFTH U. S. IMMUNE VOLUNTEERS. The figure was taken to police headquar- ters and when it was brought in produced a small-sized sensation as it was thought that it was a dead man.
 Officer Bodeker passed that point on his beat at 12:15 o'clock and saw nothing of the figure.
 A negro ws.sa%sS " was stationed at the Gaa aNley and Twenty- first stree. .ed that about o'clock he noticed several men proving around the corner and it is supposed that they did the work.

ABOUT THE CLUBS,

Despite an announcement to that ef-
feet in a contemporary, the idea Of
union of the two Republican clubs,
viz, the West Side Republican league
and the West Side Central Republican
club, has not been either settled or
abandoned.
The idea of such a union was
broached some time ago and for OBJ
vious reasons. Two clubs Of the same
political faith in one section were very
apt to clash and thus affect the party's
position. Also membership and finances
were matters of Importance. The very
best workers for the party are to be
found either in one or the other of the
two clubs, but no office holder or
prominent politician on this side cared
to ally himself to one or the other for
fear of exciting comment, etc.
These facts, becoming more and more
evident as time went by suggested the
union. The Central club being the old
er made overtures and the league met

That Rev. ]. w. williams, u. D.. of
Swansea, Wales. will never again be
pastor OF the First Welsh Baptist
church IL now a settled fact. His posi-
tive expression in the form OF a letter
OF non acceptance was read 10 the con-
grsgation last evening by Benjamin
Hughes, chairman of the official board.
1t will be remembered that a call was
rendered him over a month ago, short
ly after his return home from busi-
ness trip here. During his presence in
this city he was the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. Evan j. Davies, of South Main
avenue, and occupied the pulpit of his
former church the four Sundays in
August.
At that time the old enthusiasm Of
the congregation which had grown
somewhat cold during the six years or
more. intervening between departure
and return of the reverend gentleman,
revived. The revival of that dormant
feeling brought out desire to recall
DIR. Williams to the church. Meetings
were held and majority vote for a
CALL though not a unanimous one, was
sent him.
In his answer of non-acceptance DR..
Williams states IN substance that ne
felt that his present congregation has
the greatest claim upon him. inasmuch
as the work there was but well begun
and he did not care to leave II only
half completed. His work here with
this church was thoroughly complete
when he left it. That all the church
now needed was a good pastor to sus-
tain the church work. He rendered his
deep appreciation of their desire to
have him return and sent Christian
greeting. He also stated that he had
been ill ever since reaching Swansea
on his return and that an operation
had become necessary.
