CRIDDLE'S APOLOGY.
Mr.. r. E. Criddle wishes TO correct the
impression that Chester Criddie VINO
created a disturbance in Clopton-Street
Baptist church, feared prosecution by
Commemorative Attorney Wells. In re-
gard to such Mr.. Criddle said:
Chester wished to assert that such was
untrue. He did not fear being prosecut-
ed: if he had he would have apologlzed
long ago. His accusers have had anp:e
time to prosecute. He desired to place
himself on high plane by apologizing
for language used in the house OF COO.
It matters not how true such language
may have been. the truth OF the whole
business is. there were several boys who
laughed about a flower taken (sood
naturedlyl from young lady and Tor
some cause Rev w. w. Sisk singled
Young Criddle out and reproved him by
name: when he did so the boy responded
in betting language had it not been in
the house of God. He. therefore. apollo
gized for the language used in the house
of God
SIX EXTRA POLICEMEN.

for the employment of six extra policemen
during the holidays will be considered at
the meeting of the Finance Committee to-

He wants one man for each Oh the iour
wards of the city.
Judging from the present indications.
the six extra policemen can be kept at
work. as there are many persons who are
constantly violating the law in Manches-
ter.
