Thero was a ineoting yesterday after
uoon of the recently and preliminarily
organized citizens' committee which
proposes to continue Sunday observ
ance prosecutiocs abandoned by Kv.
V. A. Dony ami to also deal with
grosser violations of the Sunday laws.
J. L. Stello, the preliminary chair
man, early yestorday afternoon told a
Trwiunk reporter that a meeting of tho
committee would, according to previ
ous announcements, be held at the
Young Men's Christian association
building ut 4 o'clock. t lie said it was
the purpose of the committee to con
duct tiie meetings secretly and refrain
for obvious reasons from divulging the
proceedings.

: uin'ii asliel for information, replied,
; "We decided that no meeting was
held." Further than this he would not
discuss tlw matter beyond admittins
that a number of the committeemen
gathered iu the afternoon and that he
could divulge no particulars for publi
cation or otiior purposes. Colonel Boies
ulsodeclhied to stale whether or not a

fected or to name the present person

From other sources it ban been
learned that the real work of Uia com
mittee will not begin until the latter
part of August and possibly later, and
ilui'-, the methods of proueedure will be
entirely at variance with those followed
by Mr. Dony. A member of the
committee admitted to the re
porter that particular attention would
nu given to licensed saloons doing. busi
ness in violation of the law and that
unlicensed places would also be partic
ularly looked after. The plans of the
committee includes the hiring of de

GRADE CnwS STREET.
Plans That Will Co Presented by
City Engineer to the Com
the
mittee Tonight.
The joint strnets and bridgis commit
ton of council!, which meets toni;;!-,!
will probably come to soma delink
conclusion in regard to the grade of
bwetlund street, which, rs an" ip
proach to the Linden street bridge, has
during the pist few months been quit
bone of contention.
rronerty owners nnv allege I that a
decrease of tl.e established grade would
occasion (laning by filling botweeu
Seventh and Nimh streets, or by a via
duct from the Swetlaud street bridJ
to Ssvouth street.
In accordance with a resolution of
couucils.the city engineer has prepared
and will submit to the committee
meeting a drawing snowing the es
tablished and proposed 7 or 0 per cout.
grades. The present established grade
from Sixth to Seventh street is on a
decliue ot li.lG per cnt. At Wright
court it inclines at 8.U per cent, to
Eighth street and Ninth street.
One of the new proposed grades is at
an incline of 1 5 per cent, to beventn
street wher the grade will have to be
raised several feet. At Eighth street
a bridge is proposed where a 7 per cent,
grade will begin and continue to the
Swetlan.4 street bridge at Ninth stroet.
The 86 ond propose! grade starts
from a poi.it lower than tbe established
grade at beventn street ana wouiu con
tiuue at au incline of 7 per cent, to
Eighth street. From this point to
Ninth street the grade would be 0 per
cent. The proposed grades from bwet
land street to North Main aveuuo va
ne from 7.2 to 10 41 per cent.

ASPHALT OR VITRIFIED BRICK?
That Is the Question Which Is Now
Agitating the Property Owners
on Washington Avenue.
Tbe meeting of the paving commit
tee of select council this evening will
be attended, probably, by a large num
ber of property owners wno are con
tending among themselves on the su
periority of sheet asphalt or vitrified
brick as a pave lor t ranuiin avenue le-
tween Spruce and Vine streets.
The ordinance providing for nn as
phalt pave was referred to a committee
from select council June 21. The
measure stipulates that the cost is not
to exceed more than $ ' 05 p r suuure
vard, assessed by ttie foot-front rule.
Undoubtedly the ordinauce would have
been favorably reported two weeks ago
and be on its passage now, but for a
counter petition signed by a large num
ber of property owners, who pray that
vitrified brick be the material used,
the cost to be not more than $2.45 per
square ynrd. .
The petition lor a uricit pave was in
troduced in common council July Vi.
in the form of a concurrent resolution
directing the city clerk to publish the
petition with the names of tbe signers.
Select council has not yet concurred in
the resolution.
Among the asphalt constituency are:
W. C. Connell, the Dickson Manufact
uring company, the Delaware and Hud
son Caual company and Mrs. Maria
Zeidler. Those who favor vitrified
brick are: John M. Kiu merer, A. E.
Bittenbender, U T. Hlack, Dr. John
Burnett, Senator M. E. McDonald and
Dr. B H.Throop and others. Nearly all
who now favor brick hud previously
petitioned for the asphalt pave.

yl'ESTlON OF I.NCORPOHATIOX.
It had bseu the iutentlou at Inst
night's meeting to take sora prelimin
ary action toward an incorporation of
tho board. The idea bss been ad
vanced principally to give the board a
legal status lu the prosecution of cases
for the ubuee or misuse of children.
r Thomas, as attorney for the
com J r "vised that inasmuch as the
board bud no home for the caring of
children thore was uo good reason, for
an incorporation, particularly so bo
cause any individual or member of tho
board has the right to uppear as proe
cuter. In such oases the court can
commit the little ones to incorporated
Protestant or Catholio institutions ac
cording to the religion of the father or
mother. It is also the privilege of the
court to indenture orphans ou the pe
tition of individuals.
In answer to an inquiry by the chair
it was stated that the mayor has in
structed tbe chief of police to dotail a
police officer to assist the agent or mem
ber of the board at any time.
A summary of the report submitted
bv Mrs. W. B. Duggan, is as follows:
30 cases investigated, 20 worthy, 1!) un
worthy, ii re-visitd, 10 re-visited for
work; total, 57; found work for 14, 1
child sent to the Home of the friend

Friends of Medal a Figure in a Case
Before Alderman Fitzsimmons.
Held to Appear at Court.
The cold-blooded mnrder of Euaauuel
Loro at Old Forge was recalled yester
day by a mixed no case tried before
Aldorinan Fit.-iiiiiraoiiS. The defend
ants, Louis Marmo, sr , and Louis
Marmo, jr., cousins by relation, belong
to the faction that offered no obstacle
to the escap-t of Medala. but ttie charge
is not clearly shown thut ineeo sym
pithizers abetted in the escape. The
bondmau who qualified in the sum of
$1,800 for both, was Joseph Saloi, who
ran u rival barber shop to the murdered
Loro in Old Forge.
Tbe facts connected with the case
reflect less credit upon tho prosecution
than upon the defendant. Bridget
Radick and her busbund live iu Keyser
valley. They went to Barbertown ou
Monday night to visit friends and were
received in royal style, hverybody
became drunk and the natural rtsnlt,
a free fight, ended tho festivities. The
Radicks and the folks on whom they
called are Polanders and the defendants
are Italians. The latter are aceusod of
having committod simple and aggra
vated assault on Mrs Radick and, win
subjecting her to this treatment, tul
ing tho liberty of stealing her flO gold
watch. They furnished bail, us above
stated.
Then the Marnios brought a eoutiter-
suit against the Radicks for assault and
battery aud bail was furnished by them
to appear at court. During the hearing
a friend of the Radicks weut through a
military drill in describing the nssaiilt
of the Italians, ou Mrs. Radick. She
had n satchel with ber containing
bloody garments which she said became
incarnadined with her life iiuid on the
night of tho light.
Dr, John O'Malley, who attended
Mrs. Rodick, stutes that the woman
was roughly handled, as she had sev
eral cuts and a number of contusions
about her body.
The woman told the doctor that one
of her assailants wanted her to come
and live with him and his chum agreed
to shoot her btnbaud so that his frieud
might not be troubled with his protes
tations against her leaving his bed und
board, bho would dot consent to this
plan and as u consequence she was
thrashed.
