at the hands of Infatuated men and
women last night. Through the eff
forts of the police. who guarded the
entrance to the priests domicfle, the
storming of the house was prevented.
The trouble was started by a mem
Der of the church making the allega-
ton that the pastors fees for of1ciat-

funerals We're exorbitant. This the
priest denied, adding that the trustees
used the funds of the church to pay
themselves for services rendered. The
priests statement caused the indiq~

violence. The priest broke for the

About TOO men and women pursued

The members threaten that they will

TOWN PLOTTERS
WANT TO COME IN

1t was said to-day that the Town
plot school district will soon make a
move towards coming under the full
jurisdiction of the department of edr-
cation, thus doing away with the
ancient custom of dealing with a dis
trict committee. One Of the property
owners said to-day that it was COM
ing to that and that no trouble would
be experienced to-day in securing the
number necessary to make it incumb-
ent upon the aldermen 10 call for a
vote of the electors of the district on
the question, and he felt confident
that the advocates of abolishing the
antiquated plan would win out He
knew the outside districts were some
what mfstrustful OF the board Of edu-
cation on account Of the way South
Brooklyn people were treated, but
added that Town plot has an excel
lent school and consequently it had
no reason to believe that they would
make any mistake in making the
change.

PUSH CARTS AND
AUTOMORII ES

The fellow behind the push cart
does not appear to have as much OF
pull with the present administTa-
ton as the gentleman who Rushes
through the streets in the automobile
or some other vehicle of that sort.
The former has been pronounced a
nuisance and from now on every per-
son who wants to drive push cart
ahead Of him will have to get a IL
cense from the department of public
works. To be sure the owner of the
automobile receives a license from
the state, but even so take the auto
mobile and the push cart and you will
not have to think the matter over
long before you will be convinced
that the little cart is not in it as a
mischief maker with the laundering
auto that rarely ever goes out and re-
turns without being responsible for a
whole lot of trouble. 1t may be well
enough to have men who do peddiing
with push buggies to take out a liz
cense and pay something for it, but it
Is a question if anybody would be
able to prove that these vehicles con-
stitute public nuisance. There are
so many idlers about town who are
seem that as many citizens as are in
clined to matntatnthem and their
families by honest endeavor should be
encouraged instead Of having obsta-
cles thrown in their way which may
tend to drive them into something
worse. 1t is true that the feeling is
pretty general in favor Of charging
everybody something for the prAvi-
lege of conducting any kind OF busi-
ness on the public streets and those
who take that ground can furnish ex-
cellent reasons for their position.
People who rent stores and pay hand
somely for them don't like the idea of
seeing some fellow back up a wagon
in front of their doors and commence
to do business at prices less than they
can afford to dispose of their goods.
If this were the point of objection
raised against the man who makes a
beast Of burden of himself pushing an
ice cream wagon from one place to
another the powers that be would ap-
pear in much better light than they
do by proclaiming the thing a public
nuisance. The push cart is by no
means as great nuisance as the
hand organ, the gutter band, rag pick
er, and various other things, that
come around from time to time, all
very annoying to some folks, but a
God-send to others. Ask the mer-
chants what reduces their revenue
most and see how quickly they will
call attention to the vendors Of farm
produce and household ware and can
down vengeance upon the heads Of the
lawmakers who allow people to com
pete with them without paying cent
for the privilege. And they are right,
when you Look at it from their stand
point

''HORSY" OFFICE BOY
MISSING WITH $50

New York, July 9.--The police have
been looking since Wednesday for ID
year-old Alfred Reginald Price, who
has $3.50 of his employers money and
great liking for horse races. They
have secured the race tracks, but they
have found no trace of the boy. They
tell the following story:
Young Price was employed in the law
offices of Edwin O. Dusenbury, at No
149 Broadway, where he mixed the
study of racing charts with his work as
office boy. He was an infallible author
ity on the condition of '.the lid" so far
as the pool rooms were concerned, and
continually talked 'horse.''
On Wednesday afternoon the boy
was sent to deposit $3.50 in cash, 81 900
in checks and three fire insurance poll
cfes. carrying risks Of $4,000 That was
the last seen of him by his employers
They telephoned to the bank and
found he had not deposited the money
or checks, and Captain Burns Of the
Church street police station was in
formed. A general alarm was sent out
for the sshorsy'' Office boy.
Mr. Dusenbury received the checks
and pass-books on the Mercantile Trust
Go In an envelope next day. They had
been mailed from Brooklyn at 2:3O
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon. The in
surance policies were also sent by mail
to Ferguson & Van Name, No 81 Pine
street, to whom they were consigned.
The boys father is an accountant,
living at No 70 West 1O5th street. He
is overcome by his sons act, and is
aiding the police in trying to find him.
''He had the dope books on the races
down to a science" said member of
the law firm in talking of the boy last
night. "He told me he had a system
that would beat the bookies. Two or
three days ago he borrowed soon his
salary and said he was going to plunge
on Hermis and make a fortune.
The boy is described as five feet five
inches in height, with blond complex
ion and blue eyes, and wearing a blue
serge suit, negligee shirt, patent leather
Oxford ties and straight brimmed
straw hat.

REPUBLICANS HELD
ANNUAL BANQUET

The republican district and town
committees held their annual mutual
admiration meeting last evening in
Odd Fellows hall banquet room. It
was full meeting and it was early
this morning when 1t broke up, and
each member. went home with yard
Of crepe around his heart. For the
farSfghtedness of the chairman, John
P. Kellogg, had a wireless telegraph
connection with the democratic con-
vention hall in ST Louis established
early in the evening and ne was the
first man in the City to hear OF the
nomination of Judge Parker for the
presidency.
The meeting was great success
All Of the nabobs of the party were
there. some in their summer vests,
some in their shirt sleeves, some i'm
their diamonds and snuff boxes. It
was distinguished by the absence of
Attorney Durant. whom 1T was said
had prepared pretty thing which he
called "An Imitation of The Heart
Bowed Down" Proceedings opened
with speech by Chairman kellogg
on the virtues of the republican party,
which SO shocked Congressman LlIey
that he was obliged to seek solace in
the corncob pipe with which, it WAS
said. he won the labor vote.
Attorney Mcmahon. representing the
first ward, spoke @ piece which might
be called How We Did It Last Fall"
Judge Peasley, from the third. deliv-
cred his great GRAFTON. 'Brotherly
Love, or How to Get the Best of
Charlie Bauby." Attorney Mefgs,
from the second ward. hadn't very
much to say. He is a modest man,
anyway, and much was not expected
from him in the way Of oratory. But
Alderman Blakes1ee whooped 'em up
for fair and TyrreiI from the fourth
did a buck and wing dance. Martin
Parkinson from the fifth said he re-
GREETED the absence of his side wheeR
er. Matthew Carolin, who could do
more stunts on corncob than any
man present, he said.
Sheriff Gillette todd how an exile
from the second manages to live in
the fifth, and after Alderman Pilling
and Walter Holmes gave their expert
ence in politics. Chairman Kellogg got
his wireless telegram from st Louis
announcing the nomination of Judge
Parker. This put a damper ON any
thoughts of further festivity. Even
Br'er Perkinson's remark, LET him
come, wen do him." failed TO arouse
any enthusiasm. Congressman IiIley
attempted little diversion, but It had
no cheering effect on the dark feelings
Of the assembled republicans and
Chairman Kellogg decided it was time
TO scoot home and try to forget it.

SWlNDLERS CAUGHT.
Men Who Have Worked New Haven
Banks are Awaiting Trial.

New Haven, July 9-The two men
VINO operated in this city to the loss of
the First National bank have now been
arrested. One,~ William ]. FieE1Sa was
arrested some time ago, and the other.
]. w. Fielding, was arrested in New
York on Wednesday and identified
there Thursday by Sergeant Dennehy
of the New Haven detective force
The pair were, known here as the
Rsler brothers and did business in
West Haven. Their scheme was to
send boy to store to purchase some
goods and give him the money to pay
for them. Part of the purchase would
then be returned and the storekeeper
requested to send them by mail a check
for the returned goods. In that way
they learned the name Of the bank
with which the dealer did business,
and, as we'll, had sample signature.
The forged check would then be sent
to the bank by different messenger.
Fielding, when arrested, gave the name
Of Walcott o. Bucktin.

" Some Stray Leaves From q Reporters
Note Book.

It is expected that the aldermen will
tad1e action relative to the blowing of
the o'clock whistle at the meeting to
be held next Monday night, and that
the vote to have it started up will be
unanimous. 1t looks now as If 1t was
a mistake to have referred the matter
to q committee for investigation anu
HepOrt. This action delayed the matter
nearly two months and many say that
there has been considerable worry on
the part of people who felt that the
gcreech of the gong would neyefmore
reach their ears. Be patient, We sur
ferers; only a few days more and then
the world will be as bright and cheer
fIll as ever.
1t occurred on the Watertown road
on the night Of July a. A woman IN
an automobile was viewing the exhibit
: ton of fireworks which had been ar
ranged by committee appointed Dy
the waterbury Business Mems assocla-
ton. One of the many supernumerary
policemen who were doing duty on the
grounds was patrolling up and down
the road. AS he passed by the auto
mobile the woman asked him ii there
were any set pieces. She could not re-
frain from smiling when he replied!
~Yes, many of them. Don't YOU see
them all along the banks and in the
Nots," and he pointed to where num-
Der of women and children were SIT
ting.
The taking off of the 80 p. "a. train
on the Cheshire loop was great blow
to the public, especially on saturday,
when large numbers of people Woul
like to take advantage of it. An, EFFORT
Is being made to get it put on again,
but it is not likely to amount to mucn.
Mayor Elton tried that and others fol
lowed him with a petition, but all
proved of no avail. The railroad mag
mates found that it didn't pay, and SO
long as it didn't the question of 1ncon-
venience to the public was not sui
fcient reason to keep it running. rms
Is the way all around SO that the Con,
solidated road is no exception. NO
body wants to do business unless It
pays. But what matter about the
Cheshire loop anyway In the near III
ture the trolley cars will be running
through that district and then folks
viii have no use for the steam cars.
The members of Company V anu
other Waterbury people who have been
at the st Louis exposition can syInpa-
thize with the delegates from the east
eYn states to the democratic national
convention who have been complaining
much about the amount of silver which
one receives in st Louis when he pre-
SCENTS So or $40 bill or one of larger
denomination in payment for anything.

In return, a greenback Is never re-
ceived in the change. 1t was all silver.
Silver everywhere. People in the east.
don't know anything about silver until
they go west. Then they see so much
Of it that they become sick of 1t. A
member Of the New York delegation,
SO correspondent writes, went into a
barber shop and on being shaved pre-
sented $50 bill in payment Imagine
his disgust when he received nineteen
silver dollars In change. st Louis peo-
Pile say silver is easier to handle, but
the people In the east prefer the
good old greenbacks.

FAILUREOF IDENTIFICATION
Too Late to Prove That Dead D. @ R. C..

Glenwood Spring, Colo, July 16.-The body of the Rio Grande train robber, who committed suicide after be ng " funded by one of the posse, which was pursuing him, waS exhumed to- day to permit an inspection by L.. Spence, who represents a leading de- tective agency. Spence, who had much to do with the conviction of Harvey Logan, the noted bandit, at his trial at Knoxville, Tenn, for participation in the Great Northern train robbery, iden- tified the train robber as Logan, from pictures that had been taken before his burial here.
 Spence was unable to complete his Identification today for the reason that the body was in such an advanced state of decomposition. Nevertheless, he still maintains that Harvey Logan and fthe
