GRANDMOTHER'S FACE
TARGET FOR COFFEE.
Fifteen Year Old Arthur Mackey

and All, He Claims. Be-
cause She Refused to
Give Him Milk.
Angered by the refusal of his aged
grandmother TO give him milk, Arthur
Mackey, a 15-year-old white boy, dash
ed a cup of coffee into her face and
then pushed her to the floor.
The trouble occurred early yesterday
afternoon at the Mackey home, No. 2e1
Jefferson street, and Patrolman Cam
eron, on duty in that precinct, was
sent for. He made the boy a prisoner
and escorted him to the police station
house, where charges We're formally
lodged against him.
Mrs. E. Mackey, the old lady who
suffered the indignity of having the
coffee dashed into her face, and who
was then rudely thrown to the floor,
is entered on the police blotter as
prosecutrix. She is under subpoena to
appear before Recorder Myrick IN Po-
lice Court this morning and give teSti-
mony against her wayward grandson.
In his cell at the station house the
lad blandly admitted his guilt and de-
clared that he was in d rage when he
acted as he did. He is not only
charged with throwing the coffee into
Mrs. Mackeys face, but with assault
ing and striking her as well. He de-
mics that the coffee was hot or that
he hurt his grandmother when he
threw her down. The trouble occa-
stoned considerable excitement in the
neighbOrhood in which it occurred.

WANT RIGHT OF WAY
FOR ROAD TO RANGE

The announcement in the Morning
News that petition was being circu-
lated for a road to Avondale range,
via the Golf and Gun clubs, was read
with considerable interest, and was the
topic of discussion among the mem
bers of the several organizations yes
terday. Many who had not been APP
preached expressed a desire to sign the
petition. saying that the road was a
crying need.
AS the matter now stands the only
obstacle in the way is the procuring
of the right of way for the thorough
fare. The County Commissioners have
expressed themselves as willing TO con-
slider the matter if the petitioners will
incorporate i'm their petition that they
have procured the necessary right of
way. This matter is being Investigate
ed. and II is probable that the promot-
ers of the plan will succeed in securing
the necessary right of way.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
ENGINEERS FINED
Cost Two of Them $40 Each for MOI
Having Up Steam.

For not getting steam up in their en-
gines promptly Engineer Joseph Nc
earthly of Station No. 8 and Engineer
J. E. Harper of Station No. were
each fined $40 by Mayor Myers yester-
day
The failure of these engineers to get
up steam promptly, at the West Broad
street fire early Thursday morning,
caused some delay in getting water on
the fire. This fact was developed aft
er a thorough investigation made by
Mayor Myers.
In this investigation the fact was
brought out that there was plenty of
water, and that the fault was with the
engineers of the first two engines that
reached the scene. The engines that
answered the second alarm got streams
to work in a hurry, and the fire was
well handled then.
