ST. PETERS RENOVATION
Brother Schroem's Unique and
Artis ic Decorations to
Cost So, 900.

The work of renovating ST. Peters
Church, Grand and Van Worst streets,
is moving along rapidly, and Brother
Schroen, who is in charge of the work,
expects to have it completed in about a
months time. The church is being re-
painted and reftted with electric lights,
and when finished will be one of the
handsomest edifces, intefiorally speak
ing, in the State.
The lighting facilities will be on an
extensive scale, over one thousand elee-
tfic bulbs being used. The scroll wQrk
that adorns the back of the main altar
will be removed and holy figures will be
worked out by Brother Schroen, not only
on the ceiling, but on the walls back
of the altar This work by Brother
Schroem is sort of novelty, and very
churches in the country are adorned in
a similar way, which is what may be
termed plaster chasing. The work is
done by secret preparation known only
to the Brother Schroem, an dit is done
by freehand producing the most beauti-
full effect when illuminated by electric
light. The expense of the repairs will
be borne by the parishioners, They will
be about $4,000. Rev. Father Fox, the
>rector, is much pleased with the ready
responses made by his flock to this call
to bear the expenses of the improvement,
and he says that, although st. Peters is
the poorest in the city, the MEMBERS 4of
it are always ready to help.

and although his sister Kate tried with
all her strength to quiet him, her efforts
were of no avail. He put on a pair of
trousers and pair of socks and grab
bing bronze figure from clock an
nounced that he would not stay where
he was going to be poisoned. He darted
from his apartments, which are located
on the second floor of four-story flat
house, and ascending ladder reached the
roof. Adjoining his home are four, other
flats of the same height, and crossing
/ over to the last one he lifted the skylight
from it and descended to the ground floor
where he darted to the back yard, scaled
fiye-foot fence, and finally ran ouu from
the second fiat nearest to his home to the
street, with the figure still in his hand.
He was feet of foot, and although a
number of the neighbors gave chase, he
was not caught until he reached Lairdfs

street, where he took refuge, and asked
the clerk in charge to save him as peo-

chase took place about o'clock in the
afternoon, and the appearance of the
man with only cocks and trousers on
running through this prominent thorough
fare, which is always full Of people es-
pecially women, created no end of excite

the cold and snow had no effect upon

LACKAWANNA's NEW CARS.

The increased suburban traffic on the
Lackawanna Railroad has necessitated
a larger equipment of modern passenger
coaches and the first consignment of ten
cars is now being received. Instead OF
the three steps usual in such suburban
carss the new rolling stock will have four
steps, and it is believed that this feature
will not only prove a great convenience
to those who travel on the Lackawanna
suburban lines, but will also facilitate
the rapid loading and unloading Of cars,
thereby saving ,time.
Another interesting feature Of their
construction is the introduction Of acety-
lene gas for lighting. This gas has been
found SO far superior as an illuminant
that it is probable that all suburban
coaches win be so equipped in future.
For commuters desiring to read their
papers on the way home good light is an
important factor. and il. deciding upon
acetylene gas officials of the company
believe they ara providing the best illum-
inant available. Exhaustive tests have
demonstrated the practicabiIity Of the
gas, and the tanks in which it is carried
are constructed in such way that it is
impossible for them to explode.

DEAD BODY EATEN
BY RATS.
James Hope Of Mercer Street
Found in His Home in a
Horrible Condition
LAST SEEN ON CHRISTMAS
Deceased Was 70 Years Old
a Whoever Without
Any Children.
LAST SEEN ON CHRISTMAS


With the right ear and hand gnawed
off by rats, the body of James Hope, a
vel known resident of the lower section
of the city. was found last night in his
home, No. 1915 Mercer street. Judging
from the decomposed condition of the
body, Hope had been dead several weeks.
He was last seen alive on Christmas day.
The ghostly discovery was made by Ser
geant Howell of the Gregory street po-
lice station, who, to get into the house
had to force a door, Hop, who was an
eccentric character, was over seventy
years old. and a widower without any
children.
For upwards of twenty years he had
lived the life of a recluse. OF reticent
disposition, his neighbors, although they
met him quite often, knew very little Of
his affairs 1t was known though that
! he owned the house in which he had his
home, three-story brick building, and
that he had other property. Because of
his pec1liarities and exacting methods,
the upper part of the building was sell
dom tenanted. That he had money in
bank was also known to his neighbors,
yet he was always complaining of hard
times, and was known to deprive himself
of the actual necessaries of life. He had
no visitors and invariably when at home
locked himself in his apartments.
That he was not missed by his neigh
bors though no one saw him alive after
Christmas. was due to the fact that he
often disappeared from view for weeks
at time. It was only By accident that
the search for asszn last night was made.
A woman house-hunting noticing the
apartments to Let sign on the house,
rang the door-bell without getting re-
sponse. Mrs. Mary Sorenson, of No. p
Mercer street, was on her stoop at the
time, and the woman made inquiries Of
her about the owner of the house. Dur
ing the conversation. Mrs. Sorenson re-
called that Hope had not been seen
around for an unusually long time, and
immediately the suspicion arose in her
mind that something might of happened
him, she communicated with the police,
with the result as already stated
When Sergeant Howell failed to get
a response to the repeated knocking on
windows and doors. he forced an en-
trance. The door leading to the kitchen
Of Hopes apartments was directly off
the street. Sergeant Howell had scarcely
entered the room when he fell over the
body. Il was face downward. Nearby
was an overturned chair, indicating that
Hope had fallen from it. The room was
in filthy condition and the odor from
the body was such that Sergeant Howell
could not remain. He notified Hughes's
morgue and the body was taken there.
The supposition is that Hope died
either of exposure or heart failure. This
viii be determined today when an au-
topsy will be held on the body BY County
Physician Converse. In the bureau
drawers and closets Of the apartments
the police found lot of papers, among
which were cancelled mortgages and
