IN THE POLICE COURT
Joseph Miller Held for Burglary as
 Blake & Johnson's.

It took the greater part of this morn ing's long session of the city court to ensnare Joseph Miller in the meshes of the law charging with burglarizing the premises of the Blake & Johnson company on East Main street We'd nesday morning, and taking therefrom certain tools, $5 in cash and S10 in stamps. Half a dozen witnesses were examined Miller seemed to the court to be desperate character for he made a daring dash for liberty from the police station yesterday Tn some way unknown to the police he succeed- ed in removing part of the hinges of the iron door In the cell corridor. The parts were not found at noon. The principal story of the burglary was told by Robert Lewis. secretary of the company and Albert Bitz. foreman for the company. It was evident from their testimony that Miller was em- ployed by the company for three years in BitZ's department. When he gor through last Labor day he promised trouble for BitZ. Bitz identified the tools. some of which were used by Miller in the Pin shop in Oakville where he got employment week ago, and some under the cushion of a Nor ris chair in his room.
 While Mir Lewis told of the progress of the burglar through the factory George Evans was the first one who found traces of him there. Mir Evans found his way barred by shovels and chairs. Upon looking around he saw window open. Mfr Lewis told of how the office was turned upside down, every drawer in the desks hav- ing been opened. The combination lock on the vault was tempered with and the ornaments on the safe hinges were taken off. Charles Bell testified that in August Miller asked him if a watchman was in the factory nights and Bell said. in joke, that if they could only rob the safe they would not have to work any more. This evi- dence was struck out After hearing the evidence of Detective KennaugIl the case was closed and Miller was bound over under bail of $500.

MEMORIAL SERVICES
Local Lodge of Elks Tenders Respect
 to the Deceased Brothers.

Local Lodge of Elks Tenders Respect
 to the Deceased Brothers.
 Perhaps one of the prettiest and most affecting memorial services ever given by Waterbury lodge of Elks was the one of last evening at Polls theater A program of unusual merit had been prepared and the arrange ments in other ways were most ade- Quate and beautiful The theater was filled with relatives and friends of the deceased members of Waterbury lodge and with invited guests, friends and well wishers of the lodge itself. The colors of the Elks, purple and white, were much in evidence, but 1t was not until the curtain rose that the pret- tiest sight was disclosed. Seated Tn tiers were hundreds of members of the lodge. In front sat the exalted ruler. secretary, treasurer. chaplain, esquire, tiler. trustees and past exalt- ed rulers. In the upper right and left boxes were the esteemed loyal knight and the esteemed lecturiHg knight. Fronting the stage in the first gallery were the esteemed leading knight and inner guard. The stage was beauti- fully decorated in blue and white and the effect was made more striking by an immense Elks' head suspended i'll the rear and the many colored electric lights which gave the scene brilliant appearance.
 The Philharmonic orchestra under the leadership of J. Albert Brown. rendered as an overture two selections from Cavalleria Rusticano. Exalted Ruler Johnston opened the ceremonies with the aid of the other officers of the lodge and the singing of the open ing ode by officers and members. Rev Farrell Martin. D. D.. the chaplain of the order, gave the invocation and the St Johns Musical association rendered 'sThe Lord is Great" This singing was most appropriate and each nunI- Der by the association was sweetiy rendered The association was repre- scented by the following: First tenors. ". Webster. H. F. Hyde. ]. W. Gea |. ing: second tenors. s. F. Quick. A. A. Pott. l.. Wilcox. c. R. Lewis. R. Han nigan: first basses. A. H. Langley. l.. Nodine l.. Stocking: second basses, R. R. Loomis. C. l.. Schiek, w. Hay ward: leader. W. Fl. Miner.
 Bryant's "Thantopsls" was rendered very effectively by Daniel F. LawIor. whose enunciation was clear and dis tinct One of the gems of the evening was the singing of Miss Avery Stra- kosch, late of the Carl Strakosch grand opera company. In each of her num- bers she sang with sweetness and q correct appreciation of her song. Her enunciation was as distinct as was her voice beautiful The auf ienee scarcely got sufficient in her two pret. ty songs. A cornet solo. sThe Holy City was well rendered by WIiltrm Phoenix. The eulogy by Rev C. Row land Hill. B. D.. rector of St Matthias eInrch. Philadelphia. and member of Trinidad. Colorado. lodge of Elks. was very appropriately and effectively giy- en.

From Pastorate of the Second Baptist
 Church.

Church.
 At the Second Baptist church yes terday morning the Rev Mir Brooks read his resignation as follows:
 The Second Baptist Church:
 +eAbodt TWO years ago in respenss to a call from you I became your pas.~ tor. then believed and now knog of no reason to disbelieve that your call was also the call from God. Realizing keenly the responsibilities of the of- flee and mindful of the many difficult ties which confronted us took up the work with you. It Is a great pleasure to record that our labors have been blessed to a large degree under any circumstances, but to a remarkable de gree under the peculiar circumstances Of our field. During this pastorate we have received thirty-two members, twenty-one of whom were by baptism,
 Tn every way the church has made progress as the months have gone by. We have surmounted the obstacles which confronted LIS and we have herofcally pushed forward. The time has now come when our paths must part feel sure that the same One who inclined my heart toward you two years ago now draws me from you and sends me to a new field. To obey what l deem to be the voice of God resign back into your hands the office I have held these months. Tn doing 90 1 am especially pleased I'm calling attention to the many tokens Of kindness and esteem you have shown to me and my family. Ton have most lovingly borne with my many weaknesses and charitably yelled my many mistakes and with sweet tenderness helped me In per forming my work
 'T did not know until the time cama for me to sever the sacred bonds that bound pastor and people that the cords of affeetionate love were SO strong. To It's very depth my heart is stirred and my soul is benumbed with the shock. My only consolation is in the fact that after all fhere is no seyer> ance. but that these bonds of friend. ship will last from time through tims but eternity: not only true that until the time when the death sweat rests upon my brow will remember you, but in the celestial kingdom win take up the bond and weave 1t into tha fabric of my being.
 "I feel certain there gre great thfngs in store for you here and will pray with you that another shepherd of spiritual mind may soon be sent td you and that as the years 70 by you may gather much fruit for the heaven. iy garner.
 If convenient 10 you request my resignation to take effect the last day of the present year. December sL 1905.
