PUPILS AND ST. PATRICK'S DAY
Green Freely Worn and Numerous Franks
PLAYED

| st. Patrick Day. as usual, was celebrated
with great gusto by the high school pupils
throughout the city. Green neckties.
| green hatbands, emerald waists for the
| girls, ribbons encrcling coat sleeves, and
| comical pictures drawn upon the black
| boards with green chalk were the CT
| der of the day.
| The pupils found several stores where
| faring green neckties could be purchased
at very moderate cost, and by the time
the noon recess was over, boys had been
out and purchased the gaudy ties by the
wholesale and retaied them to their com
panions. SO that there were few pupils in
some of the schools. girls as well as boys.
who were not wearing some bit of green.

| School, particularly for the knights of
the Yellow Carter" an organiZa tion
whose members are required to wear a
ribbon about their left arms every day.
The prevailing color today was green. and
some of the members wore ribbons six
inches wide
boy in one of the schools entered his
class Yesterday morning, wearing patent
leather slippers laced with green ribbons,
and green socks. AS soon as the peda-
goSue beheld the young mans attire, he
i ordered him in no uncertain tones TO 'gc
home and get some decent clothes on"
And the boy went.
Another lad in some manner secured
green outing shirt with cuffs of the same
colcr. The shirt was displayed in most
ostentatious manner, much to the chagrin
OF the other male students, who were
almost bursting with curiosity to know
where he obtained it. There was n mys
terious look about the thing, however,
suggestive of daubs of water color paint,
that led some OF the boys TO venture the
assertion that the shirt mad been painted
for the occasion.
At the Western, the "Bizootcrs," an or

ciined male pupils, procured an Irish flag,

in the centre of plain green field, and
watched their chance to run the thing

place of the Stars and Stripes already
there. But greatly to their sorrow, the
| opportunity did not present itself, prob
ably because the janitor suspected that
something was going to happen"
So numerous were green hat bands that

of the fashion. Green waists, too, were

MAY SETTLE SWALLOW CASE
Methodists Trying to Restore Harmony
Before Conference Meets.

HARRISBURG, Pa. March i1.-There is
strong hope among the members of tho
Methodist denomination in this city thai
the troubles which have arisen from the
trial of the Rev DR.. Silas c. Swallow will
be settled before the meeting of the con
ference.
After an enquiry which lasted more
than week the ecclesiastical court, pre-
sided over by Presiding Elder E. II. Yo-
cum, found DR.. Swallow guilty of lying
and suspended him from preaching and
participation in any of the church SER
vices pending the action of the confer
ence which meets in BellefOnte next week.
1t is said the movement toward har
mony began in this city several weeks
ago, when three Methodist ciergymen met
and prayed earnestly one entire after
neon that a way might be opened to bring
peace into the fold. This meeting was
followed by another of nineteen clergy
men and laymen which was held at Sun
bury.
his committee appointed a commit
tee of five TO come to this city and en-
deayor to secure an adjustment of the
difficulties between certain members of
the denomination and DR.. Swallow, and
between DR.. Swallow and the Rev. J..
Wesley Hill, pastor of Grace Methodist
Church. and the Rev. C. V. Hartzell, of
the Vine Street Methodist Church. the
committee OF five, which met here this
afternoon, consisted of the Rev. DR.. E. J..
Gray. of Williamsport; DR.. w. w. Evans.
Presiding Elder of the Danville district;
the Rev. d. s. Monroe, Of Shamokin; the
Rev DR.. Poiegrove, of Hazleton. and the
Rev J. W. Buckley, of Centralia.
DR.. Swallow took the train for Phila-
delphia Immediately after the conference.

SIXTEENTH STREET EXTENSION.
Cause of Delay in Disposing of Award of
Condemnation Jury.

Tie newspapers. says City Solicitor Du-
vail, have been somewhat mixed in refer
eDce to the matter of the extension of
Sixteenth Street. 1t might be inferred
from some of the published statements
that the delay in disposing CT the award
of the condemnation jury is in some way
charSeaSle to the court. This is n mis-
take. for the matter has not been called
to the attention of the court By any OF the
parties in interest.
The situation is this: After the award
of the jury was filed exceptions were filed
by the Commissioners and by some OF the
property owners. No action would be
taken by the court upon these exceptions
until some motion was made to the court
respecting them by the parties in inter-
est. The parties refrained from making
such motion or calling the courts atten-
tion to the award of The jury; the court
has not in any wise had the award under
consideration. The Commissioners now
desire the matter to be called to the at
tention of the court for its action.
The early action therefore desired by
the Commissioners does not relate to the
disposition OF any matter already sub
mitted to the court but to n matter now
for the first time brought forward for the
courts consideration and action.

PASTOR WHO SCORED
ANARCHISTS BEATEN
WESTERN MARYLAND BIDS.
Opened in Baltimore by Committee, But
Not Acted On.

Not Acted On.
BALTIMORE, March 1.-THE opening
of the bids for the Western Maryland
Railroad took place this afternoon in the
second branch, city council chamber. The
committee adjourned subject to the call
of the chairman. without taking any ac-
tior.
Bids were received from numerous firms
Among them was the bid of McComas,
Gather, g. Greenbaum. They are believed
to represent the Gould interests. The!
most prominent member OF the party is
Col. Myron T. Herrick, of Cleveland. He
was instrumental in arranging the deal
which gave the Wheeling and Lake Erie
to the Gould interests. and was leading
spirit in financing the extension of that
road to Pittsburg taking the Wabash into
that city.
The whole Pennsylvania Railroad inter
ests fought the extension. but without
success. From Pittsburg to the seaboard
is the next move CT the Gould interests.
The West Virginia Central and Pittsburg
Railway syndicate has purchased the
Roaring Creek and Bellington and the
Roaring Creek and Charleston Railroads
to form part OF the connecting link with
the Wabash.
The Little Kanawha Is already under
the control of the latter. The purchase
includes over thirty miles Of track and
several thousand acres of coal. The ex-
tension to meet the Wabash is via Park
ersburg to GAINESVILLE, Ohio.

RESIDENTS PROTEST.
AGAINST WAGON STAND
Object to One on Nineteenth
Between K and L Streets.
Major Sylvester Recommends Its Re-
moval as 1t Would Prove an An
noyance in Summer.

Residents in the neighborhood Of Nine
teenth and K Streets northwest are
somewhat excited over the continued
presence on Nineteenth Street between X
and l. Streets OF wagon stand lately
moved to that point. The complainants
protest against the disagreeable odor from
the stand, the noise of the drivers and the
stamping of horses, as well as the draw
ing to the neighborhood of numberless
flies in the summer time.
Major Sylvester has instructed the in
spector of hacks, Mr.. A r. Lamb. to look
around further in the section referred 20
with view to finding some place to
which the objectionable stand could be re-
moved.
Second Protest Made.
This is the second protest against the
alleged nuisance Mr.. Lamb reported a
few days ago that he had found two loca-
tions to which these wagons might be re-
moved with the least probability of com
plant for the reason that adjacent proper
ty is not improved. He says that four
wagons may be located on Twenty sixth
Street, Immediately north of NJ Street.
and four more on E Street east OF Nine
teenth Street. on the north side of Raw
Inns Square He states that the only OBJ
lection to these locations seems to be the
possibility that they will not be as profit
able to the owners and drivers OF the
wagons as the present location on Nine
teenth Street.
Mr.. Lamb suggests the advisability of
To-
Nineteenth Street, Immediately south Of
L Street and OF locating another on the
east side of Nineteenth Street, just north
of L Street for the reason in the first in
stance that the abutting property is un-
improved and the nearest residence il
tenanted by an occupant of the stand, and
in the second place that the owner and
occupant of the abutting property he's
given his consent and has asked that 1t
be done. Also for the reason that it will
be 4 convenience to the public who have
for many years patronized this stand.
Lieut. r. b. Boyle, OF the Third pre-
cincet has reported that the locations
stated are the only available ones in that
neighborhood, where there would seem to
be no cause for complaint.
Major Sylvester's Recommendations.
Major Sylvester has reported to tn
ment house was erected at the northwest
corner of Nineteenth and K Streets and
the proximity of the wagon stand during
the summer would no doubt prove annoy
ing to the occupants of the same.
Major Sylvester recommends that the
stand now maintained be abolished. and
stand for four vehicles be established on
Twenty-sixth Street. north of NJ Street,
and another stand for four vehicles es-
tablished on E Street, north of Nineteenth
Street.
Major Sylvester was unable TO approve
the recommendation for the two wagons
to stand respectively on Nineteenth Street
north and south of l. Street in that ii
would be a discrimination in favor Of the
two wagons mentioned. On the other
hand Major Sylvester does not know of
any law prohibiting persons from stand
ing vehicle in front of their own prem
ises, II used in the conduct of their usual
business.

Clubbed and Stabbed By
Two Unknown
Men.
CLIMAX OF PERSECUTION
Death Msy Result From Injuries
Adopted Son Thought to Have Been
Made Way With by "Reds"-Attempt
Made to K.an.p Little Daughter.

NEW YORK, March 17.-An assault,
the Rev. Henry r. Houst, pastor OF the
German Lutheran Church. at ElizabethI
N. j.. on Sunday night. shortly after the
minister returned to his house from his
church.
Two men went to the house of the pas
tor. and after beating him over the back
of the head with club, made several ef-
forts to stab him. They finally succeeded
in infiicting a slight stab wound in the
left side. near the hip. but it is from the
injury to his head that the preacher is
in danger.
Climax of Annoy ances.
The assault was a elimination Of Sc
ries of annoyances to which the minister
/ has been subjected ever since he precched
sermon last September, in which he
made bitter attack on anarchy and
anarchists. First his adopted son, Ivan
George, lost his place in the Singer Sew
ing Machine Works because certain en-
ployes, who are said to be anarchists. re-
fused to work with him. The day he was
discharged the boy disappeared and hai
not teen seen since.
Several letters, all purportin-, to come
from anarchists. and most of them post
marked Paterson. have been received by
the minister. in which it was stated thas
the anarchists had made way with the
boy and that il would be useless to make
an effort to find him.
Attempt to Kidlap,
Several weeks ago two men tried to
kidnap Mr.. Houst's eldest daughter,
girl of eight years, and after that came
all sorts of threats unless he stopped at
tacking anarchy in his sermons.
Mr.. Houst did not stop; neither did he
give UP trying to find his adopted son. He
has impoverished himself travelling around
the country trying to find the boy, and
only last week he returned from Balti-
more, where he had gone because he
heard that a boy answering the deserip-
tion of his adopted son had been founD
there.
1t was a little after 10 o'clock last
night when Mr.. and Mrs. Houst, sitting in
their bedroom on the second floor Of the
house, heard footsteps on the rear porch.

Hurry down and see who it is. Maybe
Ivan has come home"
. Mr.. Houst went down stairs and stepped
out on the porch. He could see nobody
SO he walked to the end of the porch.
Suddenly he was struck from behind
He turned and saw that he had been
attacked by two men. One of them
grabbed him around the neck and threw
him down and the other. he says, put a
black cloth over his head. Then one of
the men stabbed him a number of times.
Chief of Police Tenny, OF Elizabeth. said
tonight that he scarcely believed the as
sault was the work of anarchists.
Mr.. Houst, his family and the members
of his congregation are all very sure that
anarchists were behind the attack.

ONLY MINOR REPAIRS NEEDED
Report on the Condition of the Tenley-
town Road

Miss Louselie Brooke has written to the
District Commissioners requesting the
pavement of Tenleytown Road from Wood
ley Street to Woodley Inn, and that the
road be drained and raised.
Mr.. Morris Hacker Superintendent Of
Roads. has reported that this is brick
pavement. and he docs not find it in as
bad condition as the writer's communica-
tion implied. He says it is by no means
impassable but on account OF clay sub
surface. does not afford in bad weather
hard and dry footway The condition
does not warrant anything but minor re-
pairs. and these will be made in few

MACADAMIzING III BROOKLAND.
Twelfth Street to Be Improved as Soon

Gently requested that Twelfth Street,
Brookland, be macadamized throughout
its length The Superintendent OF Roads
has reported that immediate attention
will he givnn 20 the street as soon as
weather conditions permit.
The writer. says Mr.. Hacker, does not
appreciate that the weather conditions
this season are extraordinary. lie is, in
consequence, the superintendent states,
unnecessarily alarmed as TO the efficiencJ
of gravel roads. The macadamiZing of
this thoroughfarc would undoubtedly bc Il
fine improvement, but is entirely imprac-
ticable of execution with any present
available funds. or any appropriation rec
