E. II. JORDAN'S BARN.
It Has Given ki.so toon Interesting Law
Suit.
' Undertaker E. H. Jordnji. of tho
South Side, who purchased recently
two lota of ground on ProHpcct avenue
and the corner of Cherry street, was
restrained by a permanent Injunction
on Saturday In court from proceeding
any further with the building of a barn
on the property, for the reason, as
alleged, that ho made use of the 10-foot
privilege.
Mr. Jordan bought the lots from Pat
rick Hannon, who purchased them from
the Fisher estate In the plot known as
the Cottuge City tract. In the deed of
every Jliit of ground sold Is speellled
that "no building Bhavll be erected on
said lot within 10 feef of the street."
Mr. Jordan's, bnrn was being built on
the rear of the lots and on the 10-foot
privilege on Cherry street. The lot ad
Joining on the upper side Is owned by
John O'Donnell. The barn was almost
completed when O'Donnell began pro
ceedings to stop Jordan going any fur
ther with the work of construction, j
City Solicitor Torrey took the case In !
hand und tiled an equity suit. Judge I
llunster handed down a preliminary In- i
Junction, und the hearing to strike off
the rule came up Satui duy before Judge
Archlmld.
Attorney I. II. Hums and M. J. Dono
hae represented Jordan and City Solici
tor Torrey argues the plaintiff's side of
the case. Testimony was offered Sat
urday to prove that the deeds of the
lots Jordan owns specify that the 10
foot privilege must be reserved. Tin
ease was argued by both sides and
Judge Archliald In an opinion deliv
ered verbally handed down an order
milking the preliminary injunction per
manent. The defendants maintained that pro

Instead of Injunction steps taken. Court
held that the plaintiffs inw acting In
accord with the right of law and de
cided In their favor. The case will
later come up for final hearing.

SATURDAY NIGHT'S PLAYS.

was produced before an audience that
overtaxed the capacity of the house.
At tho Academy of Muslo n crowded

Sisters," a phiy written to teach a great
mnrul lesson. It Is doubtful If It accom

ing If not absorbing drama with a nlronir
sustaining thread running ithrough It. A
fairly good company Interpreted the va
rious roles. John Hnrker Introduced a
specialty with tho bones that called forth
hearty applause. Tho vocal efforts of
Miss Llda Wells were ulso received with
much fervor.
"Uurry Owen" was produced before a
good sized nudlem at the Frothlngham
Sutunluy night with .no well known Irish
comedian, "Tony Farrell," In the title role.
Mr. Farrell Is a good singer and a fairly
good actor und he was surrounded by a
very competent cast. There Is musk-, Jol
lity nnd tragedy In the drama, which, on
tlto whole. Is rather better than the
average Hlngo production labelled "a
drama, of reul Irish Lire." The villain
In "Garry Owen" Is red, but does not wear
"Galways" or carry a Hhllloliili, wh'ch Is
something to be thankful for. The chapel

iiHin on destitution.
THE DUTY pi' ALL EVIL-DOERS
Touches on tho Liquor Question and tho
Subject of License Granting-Wunts
to Know How Liccnso Holders Arc
Going to Muke Restitution,
Rev. James McLeod, D. D., of the
First I'resbyteriun church, preached a
sermon last night In which lie warmly
condemned certain evils which he
enumerated. The sermon was pre
eminent for the direct method In-which
the reverend gentleman expressed his
wholesome opinions upon the questions
discussed.
Haalng his theme on the words, "He
hold, there wus amnu named Zaccheus,
which was the chief among tho publi
cans, nnd he was rich." These words,
he said, would be read by millions that
day. und their moaning explained.
They embodied the doctrine of "restitu
tion," and the duty and necessity of
restitution was an Important, though
not a prominent, topic. How ninny
sermons had they heard from the pul
pits of the day on this doctrine'.' Not
many. It wus hinted at frequently,
but taking It us a topic they rarely
heard u sermon upon the doctrine of
restitution. Many people avowed that
It was not a palatable subject, but
nevertheless It was a truth of the first
Importance, far-reaching In Its effects,
touching many people and many inter
ests, and It was one which It was well
to think over, discuss and apply. Home
phases of the question was the work of
casuistry, but it was not Intended In
that pulpit to devote the precious time
to questions of casuistry, but father to
treat of the question of restitution In
Its practical bearings.
luity to Make Kestitutlon.
As his first remark, he would say
that it was the duty of those conscious
of wrong doing to make restitution,
and he appealed to each one In the
congregation not to leave that evening
with the Impression that It did not
touch them, as he assured one und all
that tb- question affected each one
Individually. All who knew that they
had done wrong or Injured a neighbor
were bound to tuuke restitution, and
conscience, reason und the Rlble point
ed this as the right and correct rule of
conduct. The leurned preacher then
quoted from the Old und New Testa
ments In support of his argument.
After referring to the wrong doings
of Zaccheus, us stated In the text, of
oppressing the poor and acquiring prop
erty lllegully and In a wrong way, he
said that the question resolved Itself
Into "What should they do? Make
restitution? und replied "Certainly, no
doubt of It."
Dr. McLeod then said there was a
conspicuous Instance ot national im
portance which strengthened his nrgu
ment. He had in mind the land of his
birth, the land of St. Patrick. This
question of restitution had agitated
Great Britain for many years in con
nection with the tenantry of Ireland
where the unrighteous system nt land
lordism prevailed. No Roman tax
gatherer ever trented the poor more
cruelly than the British landlords who
crushed and trod upon the Irish tenants.
Were these landlords anxious to make
restitution? No. They were too proud
to bend their haughty necks. It in
volved self-interest nnd they would be
come poorer, If the rack-rents were not
wrung and crushed out of the tenants.
Pointed an Lxamplc.
A reference was then made to Guln
noss, the great 'Dublin brewer, who
gave $000,000 for beautifying St. Pat
rick's cathedral nnd wus knighted by
the queen for his generosity. Guinness
had made many homes sad nnd deso
late and could not distribute his wealth
among all tin? houses directly, and
made restitution by the best way possi
ble under the circumstances. Restitu
tion, however, ho remarked, ought
where possible to be made definitely to
the party Injured. In an Impressive
manner the reverend gentleman said:
"There are people who say 'We have
done very wrong but we cannot bring
ourselves to confess to the one we In
jured, but we will content ourselves be
hind the Cross, trusting In Jesus Christ
and hope in Him, for eternal life.'
Never! Ten thousand times I say
'never.' If I am to believe this Bible.
The doctrine Is satanic and the Blblo
was never intended to protect liars, for
nicators and thieves. Restltulton with
out confession is literally no salva
tion." Taking up another phase of the ques
tion ho remarked that he was deeply In
terested In reading In a paper on the
previous evening thnt In the twenty
one wards In the city 234 hotels were
granted licenses, most of them hotels
without accommodation for man or
beast, and he had made a little calcula
tion, which was a very moderate one,
by which he estimated that each of the
licensed places received $10 a day on an
average, which meant $2,340 a day, and
as nine-tenths of the hotels did not
particularly observe the Sunday law,
It meant that In the twenty-one wards,
tho r.ur.i of $7."4,100 would be spent this
year In the sale of Intoxocatlng drinks
and yet they heard the cry of hard
times. The charitable associations
were busy at work, und as fast ns they
relieved one, the "liquor factory"
turned out another.
The "evil gods" were grinding con
tinually and were never Idle. It took
$7fl,100 to take care of the Indirect re
sults of the wrong doing, in paying for
prisons, the poorhoiisi.-s, police, etc.,
and he was amazed to see a man ap
pointed by the peopl usk the court to
grant licenses to some of the people;
but he presumed that he received a fee
for so doing.
Culled tho Ice a 111 ihe.
Each saloon paid a bribe' of $'.00 a
year, and this went toward paying the
bill of $7M.100. He wan no Prohibition
ist and was not going to butt his head
against a stone fence if he knew It, but
It was no use of attempting to secure
Prohibition In such cities ns New York
and Chicago by the votes of the people
and on that point he would prefer to
be excused from taking any stock in
the movement, but, at the same time,
he condemned the misuse of power
which he hnd witnessed nt the cnuyt
house during the past week, when
those Intrusted In authority had
granted 200 licenses, where 100 would
have been sufficient, thereby 'making
100 mistakes.
It was a beautiful sight that ho saw
at the court house, when people were
given a license to enter homes and rob
them-of comfort and bow broadcast the
BHuds of sorrow and shame; a license to
'rob their tons of honor and their
daughters of womanhood, to supply the
almshouses -with -paupers and to muke
their wives worse than widows; a li
cense to kill a thousand persons In this
city every year and be buried In the
drunkard's grave. Why were they
granted? Because the beer licensees
had the power at the polls and were
courted, petted and flattered for their
political Influence nnd for no other rea
son. How were they to make restitu
tion? Let them tell him the wrong
that had been done to members ot that
church and of other churches In the
city. Perhaps they were In the saloons
that moment. God pity them. "Oh,
where Is my wandering boy tonight."
He was in the saloon.
The argument might be turned on
him that If he wus opposing in portion
he was opposing the granting of all
licenses, but for one who was patriotic,
a Christian and pastor of that church,
he was confident In what he had said.
Tho question then was, "What restitu
tion can the license holders give?" If
disposed to give any, he would say,
"Get out of the business and not ayk u
cent from them. Let them live so as to
undo the evil they had done." Tho
value of restitution was greatly en
hanced by promptness. Zaecheus spoke
In the present tense and said, "Behold,
Lord, the half of my goods I give to
the poor."
The reverend gentleman In his pero
ration Impressed his congregation that
restitution to the wronged ones was
the duty of all, without exception, as
they were all guilty of wrong doing.
To attempt to make restitution to Al
mighty God was utterly futile, for the
Son of Man had made restitution
which was full complete und entire.

They Mado the LitthAdca Fleece the I n-wary-Two
Houses of Bad Rcputa
Raided and lilt; lit Inmates and
Five Men Caught.
One of the newest and most novel of
"sure thing" sambllns apparatus was
brought to light Saturday night in u
raid mudo by the police on two houses
of 111 fume and a dice throwing estab
lishment which has been operated os
tensibly as a, cigar stund on Franklin
avenue. The places raided were those
of "Nellie lily," In Huymond court;
"Jack" Jones and F.mma Hrown, ufi'.a
Lackawanna avenue, and Hlley Kd
wards, 110 Franklin avenue.
The raid on Kdwnrds' place was made
upon a warrant Issued by Alderman
Fuller on complaint of Frank Cobb,
the horseman, who cluitned to have lost
$47 at dice. Chief Simpson und County
Detective Leyshon visited the place
during the evening and arrested Hlley
Kd wards, the proprietor, und II. F.
YVukctuun und "Mike " Duffy, whose
duty It wus to seek out lambs and
bring them In to be lleeced. Duffy Is
a brother of the notorious "Paddy,"
whose resort Is opposite the old Dela
ware und Hudson station, on lirldge
street.
A lot of wire, electric butteries and
hidden levers were found in the cellar
of the Franklin avenue cigar store, or
attached to the tuble above where the
dice were thrown. Hy turning on the
current, the dice, which were mugnet
Ized, could be made to Hop "sixes" or
"aces' or come to a standstill with
some of the lower numbers uppermost.
The result Is obvious. Kach of the
men wulved a hearing before Alderman
Fuller In police court yesterday morn
ing und wus held In $r,O0 bull for the
June sessions of court.
The Women Arrested.
. Five young women and four men
were corralled In "Nellie lily's" Hay
mond court house by Cuptuln Kdwards
und squad. It Is a coincidence that In
this case the warrant was Issued for
Hlley Kdwards as the proprietor, the
same who conducted the dice throwing
game. It developed after the hearing
in police court that Kdwards had re
cently sold the business to the "Illy"
woman, and the lines of $2f Imposed on
each of the five Inmates was reduced to
$10.
The girls gave their names and birth
places as Olive Kills, Klmira; Maud
