BOYS ATTEMPTED
 TO SPINDLE LADY
TRIED TO SELL WORTHLESS GLASS AS $2oo DIAMoND-FINED AND SENTENCED TO WORK ON STREETS.

On charges of attempting to swindle Ed Dalton and Joe Carroll two white boys were yesterday sentenced by Judge Feagin to pay fine of $50 and sentenced to work thirty days on the street It was in evidence that the boys tried to sell piece of glass worth about 10 cents to a woman for $2OO, claiming that 1t was a diamond They were arrested by Po- licemen Walker and Murphy and when searched the fake diamond was found in one of the boys shoe. It was ex- amined by jeweler, who pronounced it worthless
 In court the boys admitted that they had been arrested in New Orleans on similar charge, and a clipping from one of the New Orleans papers bore out their statements.
 Pictures of the culprits have been taken and they were added to the rogues' gal lery. Their photos also adorn the gallery at New Orleans. The diamond imitation was very bad, and would hardly deceive any one who was at all familiar with precious stones. They will have to serve 1sO days on the streets, as neither had money with which to pay his fine.

GOSPEL SERVICE
 ID BEGIN TONIGHT
Meetings for Children at Cum- berIand Presbyterian Church
NOTED MAN TO CONDUCT
The Rev. Mir. Lewis to Reach Birming- ham This Afternoon-Great Chorus of Children Will
 Be Organized.

The young peoples gospel services so long and eagerly looked forward to by the pastor and congregation of the First Cumberland Presbyterian church, corner Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street. will begin tonight at o'clock.
 The noted reyivallst, the Rev. Richard ". Lewis, of Denver Colo, and Gospel Singer McClelland will reach the city this afternoon.
 They have recently held a number of successful meetings in the cities of the middle west, averaging something more than hundred conversions at each place. Everywhere they have been listened to by vast congregations.
 Beyond Denomlnatonal Bounds. In almost every city the meetings have quickly grown beyond denominationaI bounds, and all churches have been bene- fited. It is confidently expected by the promoters of the meetings in Birmingham that similar results will be attained here. Tonight's sermon on Gods Revival" will, 1t is believed, be heard by large
  work will be given in an interesting way. and Christian people will be admonished to be earnest and constant in prayer. The first chldren's meeting will be held tomorrow immediately after the close of the schools, and while the children who are dismissed from their studies at 1:3O and 2 o'clock are assembling, Prof. Me- Clelland will form and train a great chill dren's chorus.
 Described By Birmingham Man. A Birmingham man who has been through two of MT. Lewis meetings says of these childrens services: ITO see Mir. Lewis entertain and instruct a great con gregation of little folks is a revelation and a delight to lover of children.
 His face and his very being seems to glow with love for Gods little ones and soon this love is reflected back from scores of happy faces. As one listens to him one cannot help but love him, and love the God in whose services he is and whom he serves.
 Birmingham teachers in secular schools and Sabbath schools alike would do well to attend these meetings and study his methods. They would certainly profit thereby"
 At the close of the service tomorrow af- ternoon souvenir picture of the children will be taken.
 Those who have the success of the meeting at heart are greatly encour- aged with the outlook and confidently expect wonderful religious revival

VICTIMS cREMArEp.
Eight Persons Killed In Wreck on
Erie Railroad.


jamestown, N. Y. Apiil 21.-Eight
three of them seriously, as the result
or collision between passenger
train on the Erie railr DAD Monday near
Red House, N. Y.
or the dead only one Robert N.
HotchlNiss Of Mead,llle, brakeman,
has been identified. Seven bodies, ap-
parently those OF three men, three
women and a child, were burned be-
yond recognition in the fierce fire
which followed the wreck. The WON
en- are said to have boarded the train
ut Youngstown and to have come from
Pittsburg.
There is some dispute as to the
cause OF the wreck. Tie passenger
train was running east, and the freight
which was westbound, had orders to
go into the siding at Red House and
wait for the passenger trail to go by
The siding Is about a mile and a half
long and there is tower Of the block
system near the west emo The freight
was drawn by two engines. Some trou-
BILE was experienced in entering the
Diding and the foremost engine of the
freight was sent in along the siding
with fiagman to hold the express. 1t
is alleged that the operator in the
tower, Lawrence Vale, a boy II years
old, saw the light engine OF the freight
which was bringing up the flag, and
supposed the freight was on the siding
behind 1t. Vale then displayed a white
signal toward the passenger train, in
dicating to the engineer that he had a
clear track.
