Company..P Police Affairs.

Some time ago James quinn, so tne
police say. took strong dislike to manual
labor and 10 the extent that he could not
pay his rent, and this resulted in call
from a deputy sheriff who was sent TO
his house on grosvenor avenue.
At this stage OF the game Quinn allowed
his wife and two little ones TO SHIFT for
themselves while he went TO the home or
his sister on Howard street Yesterday
Mrs. Quinn called upon Overseer or the
Poor Cummings for assistance. Mr..
Cummings notified Capt. Rowe who sent
a patrolman after Quinn who was arrest
cd at II 80 yesterday forenoon, and from
that time until this morning he was
locked up at the Chaffee street station
This morning he was arraigned before
Judge Sweetland on the charge OF non
support

Charles " Thurber, agent for the So
clety for the Prevention Of Cruelty TO
Children. called at the home OF Thomas
Cummings on Marvin street yesterday. He
found that the house was neat and clean
and that so far as good clothing and gen
eral care was concerned the children had
no cause for complaint
II will be remembered that a day or so
ago Cummings had house full OF COM
pany and TO make room for them sent
