substantiated. Howard Fisher was found
lying IN half foot of water unconscious

The fire broke out in the livery stable of
J. H Schriver & Son, and it is believed
that it was ignited through the careless
ness of several intoxicated men who were
at the stable shortly before the ere was
discovered. The flames spread With re-

PoIicen,en,s Eyes.

WILMINGTON. Del. Aug. 13.-The trou-
be between the rival factions of st. He'd
wigs Polish Catholic Church reached a
climax yesterday morning in a serious
fight between members of the congrega-
ton, during which policemen stormed the
church and were met with a voIIey of red
pepper in the hands of a number of infu-
rated women. The vestibule of the church
after the combat was covered with red
pepper, while the discounted officers
were standing around picking it from their
eyes and ears
The Prussian Poles. who are regarded as
the opponents of Rev. John GIucz. held
meeting Friday night and declared the
priest could not hold services in the build
ing yesterday. Father GIucZ called upon
the police for protection. and Sergeant
James B. Tucker and three patroimen were
detailed as a bodyguaTd for the priest
When the priest and the officers arrived
ct the church there were 1000 persons
around it. The Prussian Poles. as on the
previous Sunday. held the yestibule and
they put their women in front to meet any
attack by the opposing force. Sergeant
Tucker formed his men into a football
flying wedge" with the priest in the
centre. and started for the door. The wo-
men hurled defiance at Tucker and dared
him to come On AS the flying wedge"
attempted to get up stairs il was tackled
on all sides by the Infatuated women and
there was the livelest sort of a serImmage
until Tucker and his men forced a pas
sage way and the priest was able to GO
up the steps and escape the crowd.
The women were greatly enraged when
they saw the priest had escaped and be-
fore any of the officers knew what was
happening the room was filed with red
pepper. Volley after volley of the stuff
was hurled at the policemen, the women
shouting like demons all the time. The
men finally took a hand in the combat and
began to use their fists on the policemen,
who were trying 10 clear the place of the
mob. The arrival of an additional squad
of police caused the men to retire and
leave the women to fight it out. The wo-
men set upon Policeman Ford and badly
beat him. The. officers finally cleared the
church and the priest celebrated both
morning masses.

fore sending the men out, he said: II am
authorized to say that you can hereafter
appear without coats until the weather

reason why they should be uniform in color

Every man il the line shed his coat

order was read to the relief squads and
for the first time in its history Camden
sets the pace for the world.
Chief Foster said that Mayor Hatch was
thoroughly sincere in advocating rational
dress for men during the hea1ed term, and
that he would not int1ict flannel coats on
his police and wear silk shirts himself.
The order was received with grateful ap-
probation by the patrolmen.
