Steps Taken to Impeach the Magis-
trate of the Eighteenth Ward.
Charges That Are Made
Against Him.

Steps were taken Saturday to inn
peach Alderman John T. Kelly, of the
Eighteenth ward. A petition signed by
forty citizens, mostly residents of the
Eighteenth ward, was presented to
court by Attorney p. +. Loughran, ask
ing for Kelly's removal
The allegations contained in the petit
tion are sworn to by eX-Alderman g..
NJ. DeLong, of the Eighth ward. They
set forth that Alderman Kelly, since
his advent to office. in May, 1897. has
been guilty of all manner of malfeas-
anCc.
The principal charge is that of send
ing i'm fictitious cases and collecting
attention is directed to 120 transcripts
for larceny, all but two of which We're
ignored by the grand jury. Seventeen
of these and sixteen other cases, in
which highway robbery is charged,
are alleged to be fictitious. Illegally
accepting bail, failure to fill transcripts
of felonies within the required time,
setting cases irregularly and eXtort-
ing money from ltgants are other
crimes or misdemeanOrs laid at the
door of the alderman.
\ number of cases are given in de-
tail in which it is alleged that the
alderman received as high as $50 for
settlement

all untrue and prompted by malice and
hatred. The case will be heard next

MINER INSTANTLY KILLED.
julius Knopf's Life Crushed Out
and His Laborer Injured.

julius Knopf, of 1907 Eynon street,
was instantly killed, and Nicholas Fes-
ME, of Ninth street, was painfully in
iured by a fall of roof Saturday after
noon i'm the HYDE Park mines. The
former was the miner, the latter is a
laborer. Knopf leaves a wife and sew
en- children, and Fesnie also has a
large family.
The cause of the accident seems
clothed in mystery. The most general
ly accepted theory is that Knopf had
placed small charge for blasting out
a wedge of coal and that both men re-
treated to a place of safety. When
they came forward after the blast the
roof previously weakened by heavy
blast, fell upon the men without any
warning or indication of it's weakness
Both were standing near an empty
car. The laborer was just outside the
zone of danger and escaped with Rev-
eTal cuts and bad bruises from flying
chunks. The miner was literally
crushed to death and his head almost
severed from the body,
Fellow workmen went TO the assist
ance of the injured men, Fesnie with
a little assistance went to his home
The remains of Knopf were taken out
and removed to his home. Deceased
was about ~ years OF age and was

ALLEGED HORSE THIEF CAUGHT
Got Away from Patroiman Karius
and Later Ran Into His Arms.

Feter Sweeney of South Washington
avenue, was arrested at 1 o'clock yes
terday morning by Patrolman Karius
for something he is charged with hay
ing done n month or six weeks ago.
The allegation is that he stole a horse
and carriage from i'm front of the Union
Transfer Company's office on Franklin
avenue. A warrant was sworn ont
soon after that and placed with Chief
Gurrell.
Patrolman Karius took a walk back
toward Railroad alley yesterday morn
ing at the hour aforesaid and saw
Sweeney and another man having q
quiet confab at TIE rear OF the West
crn Union building. The officer told
Sweeney there was n warrant out for
his arrest. Sweeney proceeded to walk
out toward Lackawanna avenue with
him and when they got across the
street near the Coyne house he said:
Say, yer only stringin'. ain't that all?"
mo, indeed" said Karns, mo joke
about it, 1--WE been given orders to
arrest you on sight"
With that Sweeney made n dash
across the street and back again to the
alley. Karius chased him and fell
heels over head across a barrel he
| stumbled on in the dark. This gave
Sweeney a good, start, but the officer
| didn't wait to look whether he was
cut or dirty but resumed the hurdle
race across railroad tracks and be-
tween box cars in the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western yard. After
scouting about for fifteen minutes the
| persevering officer was rewarded by
| having his game run right into his
arms. Karius kept tight grip on him
until he landed him in the central
police station where he will be given
hearing this morning.

CHURCH WILL BIZ
FREE FROM DEBT
PENN AVENUE BAPTIST CON-
GREGATIoN RAISED $4,000.
Rev. Mr.. Pierce Preached n Sermon
on the Grace of Giving, After
Which Subscriptions Were Started
to Raise 81 900, But the Responses
Were So Liberal That the Entire
Debt Will Be Wiped out-Resolu-
tions on the Departure of Attorney
and Mrs, j, w. Browning.

At the conclusion OF the morning
service yesterday in Penn Avenue Bap-
tist church, the congregation took up
the project of raising $1,000 to pay for
repairs on the parsonage and apply
on the indebtedness of the church,
which in three years past had accum-
ulated to upwards of $4,000 The re-
suit was extremely gratifying to Rev.
Mr.. Pierce, the pastor; for not only
was the $1,000 raised, but also an
amount was pledged to liquidate the
entire sum.
His sermon at the service was on the
subject THE Grace of Giving" and he
regards the liberal response as an evil
dence of the good feeling of the con-
gregation toward him. It was thought
that the congregation would be doing
good to raise the amount in two years.
This will free the church from debt

resolutions expressing the sentiments
of the church toward Attorney and
Mrs. j. w. Browning. who will soon

Father McManus replied to Mr. Nc
Lean and administered rebuke. From
views of that kind, the speaker said,
those not members of the organization
are apt to Judge 1t. He does not be-
lieve that lawyers would be guilty of
joining the movement to make capital
out of it. The more learning and in

he is and less prone is he to project
himself irto the race for the offices,
