1T MUST COME DOWN.
Mayor, So Asserts i'm Letter Con-
corning the Tabernacle.


corning the Tabernacle.
The Tabernacle still stands in the Park
Extension. but it must come down. That
is now insisted upon by the city. A
letter was addressed by Acting Mayor
James NJ. Dixon to Rev. w A. Nisbet,
president of the Ministers Association,
yesterday, directing his attention to the
fact that the time the association was
allowed to keep the Tabernacle standing
in the Park Extension has long since ex-
PRED
Unless the Tabernacle is removed by
next Tuesday the city will take it down.
That is an alternative that is set forth
in the Mayors letter to the president of
the Ministers Association. If the city
does the work, it will look to the minis
tiers for the cost.
Mr. j. G. Blaine representing the com
pany which owns the building, is still in
Charleston, where he went some time ago
to make trade for its disposal to the
Charleston Exposition. The government
is erecting buildings there, and Mr.. Blaine
thought that he could dispose of the Tab
ernacle. letter from him gives no Ie-
cided information a to just what he pur
poses doing with the building.
The Tabernacle would have been re-
ulONe0 sOHl6 DAYS ago, SdlO MT. NlSDel
yesterday, had it not been for a claim
upon it held by Capt. w. T. Gibson, who
had loaned Mr. Blaine $3.50. Mr.. Nisbet did
not like to see Capt. Gibson lose his
money. as he thought he assuredly would
were the Tabernacle torn down and the
lumber piled up to be disposed of when
ever a purchaser might appear. He went
with Capt. Gibson to call on the Mayor
and ask for further time. They did not
see Mayor Myers then, but the next day
Capt. Gibson saw him and secured an ex-
tension.
The Tabernacle will be taken down by
the Ministers Association. Mr.. Nisbet
spoke decidedly upon that question. He
said that the Association owns 200 of the
seats in the building, and that these can
readily be sold at 81 each. The $500 thus
realized will easily defray the cost of the
removal of the building to some vacant
lot, where the lumber can be stored un-
til a purchaser appears. Though he was
not ready to say just when the work of
demolition would begin. not having then
received the letter from the Mayor, it
was apparent from what Mr.. Nisbet said
that it would probably start on Monday.
He feels that the Ministers Association
has fulfilled it's agreement, as an extern
sion of the time was secured from the
Mayor.

HELD FOR MURDER.
killing of Rnnzias Mathews Was
without PrOvOcation.

A jury impaneled by Coroner Keller
held an Inquest in the Police Court room
last night over the body of Ranzias
| Mathews. and returned a verdict holding
| Joe Spann for murder. Mathews was shot
in the left breast on May 10. by Spann,
and died Wednesday night at his home,
No. 30 Lumber lane from the wound
Several witnesses were examined by
the coroner and it was shown that the
shooting was without any legal provoca-
ton, at any rate. One witness swore that
Mathews had cursed Spann, but the 9TH
ers had heard no words passed between
the two men. When arrested on the Louis
willie road, by Detectives Murphy and
WALL Spann stated that he had been
cursed in most offensive manner by
Mathews and that for that reason he had
shot him. The prisoner said then, and
has said since. that he would not permit
any man to use the words credited to
Mathews, and admitted that he had shot
to kill
With but one exception the witnesses
before the coroner's jury were negroes
who were not well acquainted with eth
er msA Ella Scott of No. 645 Sims street
was the only one who claimed to hear
Mathews use any obscene language. EN-
ma Smith, another witness lived in
the same house with Mathews, and was
standing in the door with him when
Spann fired the first shot. She testified
that she ran inside with the man and
that the other shots were fired through
and open window She could not see who
fired
william Vickery of No. 647 Sims street
testified that he saw Spann go into his
house and get his revolver. His atten-
ton had been first attracted by the negro
cursing, because his wife was not at
home. The witness saw Spann go to
Sims and Lumber street lane and from
that point fire one shot at Mathews, who
was standing on his stoop Mathews, and
a woman who had been with him, ran in
the house and the witness saw Spann go
to the window and fire three shots more.
One of these struck Mathews and Spann
ran in a westerly direction.
Detective Murphy told of the arrest of
the negro by himself and officer Wall,
and of the statement made by the pris-
oner. The jury did not consider any of
the lower grades of homicide, and Spann
will be committed to Jail on the coroner's
warrant this morning.

New A-aven, Conn, March 11.-Pub-
lie telephones on street corners. like
fire alarm boxes, will soon be erect
ed in New Haven. They will be in
cased in aluminium boxes, the height

telephone will be a blue bell, the
sign of the public telephone. The
boxes will be ordinarily locked. They
can be opened by dropping into slot

When the door has been so opened
the process of obtaining a telephone
connection will be precisely the same
as at any public pay station, a di-
