HooDLUMs ON ERIE TRACKS.
Detective Guinan Determined to
Break Up a Dangerous Gang.

Despite the fact that Detective Guinan
of the Erie Railroad has made repeated
raids on a gang of boys who loiter about
the railroad tracks, in Hoboken, they
still continue to infest that neighbor-
hood. The boys are a very bad set and
the fact tina several of their companions
nave been captured and sent to jail
seems to have no terrorizing effect.
The suffers greatly at the
hands of these young hoodlums. Not con-
tent with stealing coal from the cars,
they take the oiled waste out of the axle
boxes. This is very dangerous, as the
axles of the cars are liable to become
dry when in action and set fire to the
axle boxes.
Detective Guinan is hot after them and
intends landing every one of the gang
in Jail before he stops. Recorder Stan
ton threatens to deal hard with any of
the boys.

SUICIDE IN PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE
Man Who Registered as Edward
Doyle Takes Carbo1ic Acid.

A man who registered as Edward Doyle,
committed slicide last night in a room in
the Pennsylvania House, Greene and
Montgomery streets, Jersey City. He
hired a room yesterday morning and was
not seen again until late last night, when,
on failing to gain any response to re-
peated knocks employees broke open the
door and found his dead body lying on the
floor. On the table was a small bottle
labelled "carbolic acid"
The suicide was about twenty-five years
old and five feet. eight inches tall. He
had a smooth face and dark hair. He
wore a dark overcoat. coat and waist
coat and gray trousers. lace shoes and a
black derby hat. In his pockets We're a
gold filled watch and chain and ~. There
were no papers or anything to lead to his
Identification.

replied that the petition. which was at
first defective, had been corrected, and
the matter was now in the hands of the
Chief Engineer.
President Hoehl briefly reviewed the
work accomplished by the association IN
the past year. He complimented Com
missioner Nolan for having aided the as
ISOLATION and referred to several street
improvements in the section which n
official had brought about.
In answer to questions by Secretary
Bugasch. Mr.. Nolan said that complaints
about sidewalks sent to the inspector
would be attended to, but took time, as
the Board was obliged to wait a stipulated
time for the owner to do the work before
the city would undertake it.
Congressman McEwan suggested that 1t
would be a good idea to have different
speakers attend at least four meetings a
year. The association then adjourned
until February 8.

MP WISE AND GEN LEE.

The genial and gifted Mr.. John s. Wise
thinks We have not treated him kindly
I'm our criticism OF his detailed account OF
his interview with General Robert J..
Lee on the retreat from Petersburg lie
thinks we have not been courteous. Wei
Mr.. Wise is the only person we nave
heard of who takes that view OF our
article. and It was certainly our intention
TO be as courteous as possible.
If Mr.. Wise should say that be wrote
that interview down soon after Its oc-
ourrence. and while it was fresh in his
memory. that would end all question
about his accuracy, but TO write it after
thirtv-four years had elapsed certainly
makes il the subject Of fair and courteous
criticism as Judged by the facts OF his
tory as they have 50 long been estab-
llshed.
Mr. Wise's article was evidently written
.crrrente calamo." and It was not In
rrobable that he could not remember pre-
cisely all that was said under such e&-
citing circumstances.
I, was not TO offend Mr.. Wise, but to
defend General Lee that our article was
written. and we thought we had succeed
od. Il seems. however. that in one respect
at least we faned-and We are very sorry

TnE METHODIST CENTENNIAL

The celebration Of the one hundredth
anniversary OF the foundation Of Metho-
dism IN Richmond is an event Of no little
moment and interest
u is celebration in which not only ihe
Methodsts. but the people OF this entire
community arc interested. for the Metno-
dist church is an institution in the com
muuity which has had a most whole
some influence for good.
The Methodist church fills a place which
the Lord God designed that IT should mn.
and nobly has 1t done its part TO spread
the gospel and TO convert the people TO
the religion OF the Bible.
