JUDGE SPRUANCE
AND THE COMMISSIONS
------ H..#
What He Said and Did in Relation to
the Condemnation Of the Thlr-
teen Deterrent Streets.
MADE NO SUGGESTION AS TO PAY
Only as to Separate Commits
sion in Each Case.
nnhaAII0oInhF HIitt TkUE nhI OF
MADE NO SUGGESTION AS TO PAY
COMMISSIONERS WILL TAKE ONLY sc

Sundays Star makes the following
statement in reference to tine lees re-
Gently paid to the commissioners serving
on 13 commissions for opening certain
city streets:
When the commission completed its work
the matter OF settlement was left in the
hands of City Solicitor Reinhardt, who con-
fsrrea with Judge Spruance on the matter.
The latter decided that each member of the
commission was entitled to $6 for each con-
damnation made, and as during their SER
vice they condemned thirteen streets and
were on thirteen commissions, the amount
due each one was $50. Acting upon this
suggestion Mr.. ReinhaIdt caused five checks
for $39 each to be ed by the Street and
Sewer DepartnIent, which through its secTe-
tary were forwarded to the proper parties.
The Gazette is authorized to say
that this statement, so far as relates to
the action Of Judge bpruance, is not
true.
Before the commissions were issued
the judge informed the city solicitor
that there should be q separate com.
mission for each street, hut he did moi
then, or at any time afterwards, make
any suggestion or decision as to the
compensation to be allowed to the com
missioners.
1t has never been the practice for the
| Judge to lax the costs in such cases.
ard he did not do SO in this case. IL.
| did not, In fact. know how long tht
commissioners were engaged in the
| work. or what compensation they vert
| allowed, until he read The article or
the subject in Saturdays Every Even
ing.
IL will thus be seen that whether th'
payments to the commissioners wer,
right or wrong, Judge Snruanoe hat
nothing to do with the matter.

THE PASTOR AND THE "GANG."

Philadelphia Times, October 18th.
Saturday night the Rev. J. Wesley
Sullivan OF the Calvary Baptist Church
stood on platform erected in the Third
Regiment Armory, held his head high,
smiled approvingly, and waited, as
chairman Of the meeting, while ten
hundred voices shouted
HALL hail! the gang's all here,
What the he'll do we care,
What the hell do we care,
Hail! hail! the gangs all here.
What the hell do we care now.
Many members OF DR.. Sullivan's q con-
gregation were impressed yesterday by
their PASTORS appearance and demeanor
on the two occasions. Some OF the men
who wersbipped in Calvary Church ut
the morning service had witnessed the
spectacle Saturday night
Naturally enough the sentiment Of
"Hail! hall the gang's all here!o was
not the only unseemly incident which
came under the Rev. mr.. Sullivan Is
observation as chairman of the Repub.
lican mass meeting on Saturday night,
ard which he did not at least rebuke.
Directly in front of the platform or
which he stood number of drunken
men, for period of not less than 81
minutes, performed series OF couchee
Couchee dances and poses which woult
disgust half the patrons of Philadel
nh ia g aIeak. easies. The fact that tn,
performers were men and not women O
the class which they tried to initiate
rendered the spectacle the more disgust
ing.
Though it lay within the chair
mans mower and province to stop suct
a suectacle, the Rev. Mr.. Sullivan mad
no effort in that direction, and it wa
left to Joseph 2. Rogers, the frs
speaker of the evening, to restore I
semhlapoe of order.

OYSTER PIRATES AT WORK.

Suspicious Graft Detected in the Mispillion
River-The Attorney General Notified.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
Milford, Oct. ID. The oystermen of
Miapillion River have been considerably
excited for the past day or two over
the oyster piracy that it is alleged has
been gong ON in their preserves Some
time back it was reported that an un-
known sloop had slipped In at night
and secured a big load of planters
bivalves, = and there was war of words
then.
Saturday night the keeper of Mis-
pilion light, Walter Graham, saw q
two mast sloop and cat rigged pungy
enter the mouth of the river, directly
in the wake of the steamer Reis, and
he at once suspected their mission to
he piracy. Neither craft bore light,
and, when later the keeper approached
them in his yawl he discovered that the
names OF their boats had been covered
by stretched canvas. At distance Mr..
Graham watched their man9uVres and
found that they put out their dredges
and, aided by stiff breeze, began to
rake the bottom of the river of their
treasures.
The keeper returned to his duty at
the lighthouse, unable to find any clue
as to who the pirates we're, except the
fact that the word Little Creek" ap-
peared on one of the boats. He sent
word to Milford, but ro one here went
down, aud the boats succeeded In carry
ing off tso Mr. Graham said yesterday
to Every Evenings correspondent at
least /, 800 bushels of oysters.
X. Z. Small, in the interest OF the
oystermen, on Sunday tslegrsphed At
| torney General Ward about the matter
and Mr.. Ward promised to send de.
tective to look into it, Yesterday ex-
cited groups of oystermen were talking
about the robbery, and License taker
| Albert Archer Was beseiged by them to
do something looking to the arrest OF
the pirates.
