A VICIOUS ATTACK.
Italian with a Revolver Murderously
Attacks Two Petersbarg Cltixens.
As Joseph Masters and Warren La
France, of Petersburg, were returning
from a visit to Little England yester
day afternoon they were set upon by a
drunken Italian named Victor Bleno,
who whipped out a revolver and at
tempted to shoot them.
Notwithstanding the suddenness of
the unprovoked attack, the two men
did not lose their presence of mind, but
sprang upon the murderous and drink
crazed Italian and after a hard struggle
overpowered and disarmed him. With
the assistance of the crowd which soon
collected they bound lilm with a rope
and carried him to the residence of
Patrolman Louis Uoerlltz, who took
him to the central police station.
The crowd which followed the two
men and their prisoner would have
treated the Italian pretty roughly if It
had half an opportunity, but the cap
tors and the more level-headed mem
bers of the crowd kept off those who
wanted to get a kick at him.
The fellow was locked up In cell No. 1
over night and will be given a hearing
at 5 o'clock this afternoon. To all ap
pearances he Is demented from exces
sive drinking.

DR. ROBINSON'S SERMON
"Christian's Duty to the Municipal
ity, or Righteousness in the City."
CITY1S OFFICIALS HINTED AT
The Doctor Adroitly Refrains from Men
tioning Names Ssys Witnosses
Were Maligned sad Their
Testimony Impeached.
Rev. Dr. Charles E. Robinson, of the
Second Presbyterian church, had his
innings last night. In a sermon, the
phraseology of which would be too
broad and too suggestive for publica
tion, It reported literally, he heaped a
vast amount of spltefulness upon
Mayor Connell, Chief of Police Simp
son, the rank and file of policemen, and.
In fact, everyone who had anything to
do with the recent charges made by him
in his pulpit on Thanksgiving Day. It
Is a curious fact, however, that Dr.
Robinson did not once mention the
names of the objacts of his dislike, nor
did he refer directly to them by title;
he couched his remarks In elegant die
tlon and spoke directly upon municipal
corruption of Biblical times, but his deft
explanatory phraseology left no doubt
as to who was really meant.
Dr. Robinson's time was wen chosen.
Following so closely upon the sensa
tional hearing In the mayor's office, It
was not surprising that all the avail
able space In the church auditorium
was filled. The congregation comprised
a slight majority of those present; the
balance was composed of non-church
goers and members of other congrega.
Hons, men predominating, who were
curious to know what was a "Chris
tian's Duty to Municipality, or Right
eousness in the City." That was to De
Dr. Robinson's topic according to the
published church notices, but the audi
ence was'oblfged to leave the church
without hearing the speaker's Ideas up
on his advertised theme.
He Used Plain Language.
Occasionally one hears a minister
quote from the scriptures "thieves,"
"robbers," "licentiousness" and more
suggestive, but less used words, which
do not look well In print. In his quota
tions last night Dr. Robinson did not
draw the line on the unwholesomeness
of his biblical words nor tn the number
of times he repeated them, but he was
adroitly artistic In applying them to
mayors, chiefs of police and policemen
of antiquity.
"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy
voice like a trumpet and show my peo
ple their transgressions, and the house
of Jacob their sins," from Isalan lvlll:l,
was the text announced by Dr. Robin
son and from which his auditory ex
pected to learn a "Christian's Duty to
th Municipality, or Righteousness In
the City."
God's one controversy with the world,
he said, is sin; according to God's
word the worst possible heresy is lack
of righteousness. When a man stands
in unrighteousness he stands against
the whole law of God who hates the
lying lip and false balances but delights
In an honest man.
The first intimation of a reference to
Dr. Robinson's recent police muddle
was made in his telling of Luther's
first visit to Rome, which city, Luther
said was full of liars and robbers.
Then the speaker In free quotations
from the scriptures called black "black
and white "white" In speaking of per
sonal unchastlty, degraded creatures
and licentiousness. The auditory was
then prepared for the statement that
princes of the old cities, such as Rome
and Jerusalem, and whose official posi
tions were the same as those of mayors
of to-day, were companions of thieves
and robbers. The watchmen of Jeru
salem, who, he said, would be called
policemen to-day, were as corrupt as
their superiors, dumb and blind to the
wickedness going on about them.
Jehovah doesn't witness that the
government of the princes was for any
other purpose than to uphold righteous
ness and so God charges the prophet
"to be faithful," "fear not," "cry
aloud."
World's Idea of the Church.
It Is a fact. Dr. Robinson remarked,
that the world's Idea of the church Is
often of its architecture, Its good sing
ing or its accommodations for backing
under sermons platonlc, of the past and
not fearless, truthful, independent ut
terances. These, may be, regret that the
pulpit or the church is ever used to
denounce rascals, or for anything but
quietness and peace. These surely do
not possess the sentiment recorded In
Amos v, 21: "I hate, I despise your
feast days, and I will not smell In your
solemn assemblies." The truth should
be spoken, wickedness in high places
should be throttled that justice and
righteousness might flow more like a
stream. Tet, It Is natural that the
church should shrink from such a com
mission; Elijah, the bold, shrank from
It.
That the complainant's witnesses In
the recent police Inquiry were maligned,
that their testimony was Impeached
in the headlines of a newspaper was a
deplorable fact. But wouldn't you, he
asked. If you were their pastor, stand
by them and honor them under circum
stances whereby they had been forced
tn reveal their misfortune and shame?
The Master has said that His faithful
servants would be hated of all men,
and, as for the speaker, he would rather
be the subject of their gibes. Jeers and
taunts rather than have them slap
him on the shoulder in hale-fellow-well-met
fashion because he might be use
ful to them In their political and other
machinations. Here Inference was
made that the hale and well-met ones
might be more congenial to persons
whose character the speaker's descrip
tion makes unfit for publication.
: tiood Need Hot fear.
Good and faithful policemen, aald Dr.
Robinson, need have no fear of accusa
tion. There were some good men, whom
he knew personally) on the police force.
"If you or your friends," he asked in
conclusion, "were browbeaten by those
In high place, or were th Object of
the, sneer and petty Joke from the
public press, would not you with the
leva ef God and pity for them lift your
face to the measure U Kght ana true?
If you would do this there will be no
smell of fire on your garments ' and
your soul will be full of peace and
honor."
In his opening prayer guidance was
asked by. Dr. Robinson for national,
state and local municipal authorities.
and a more earnest plea for divine help
to the mayor, heads of departments
and policemen was Invoked In the brief
prayer immediately following the ser
mon.

Attorney Joseph U. Brown made a
motion Saturday morning before Judge
Edwards for a rule to show cause why
a new trial should not be granted to
Crlzenzo Merolo.the murderer of Eman
uel Loro. The court decided to hear
the motion tomorrow and ordered that
the reasons for a new trial be filed.
Merolo still persists that he Is not the
right man and expects to bring his
father, brother, and three sisters from
Italy to corroborate his statement that
he Is Frank La Bracka. lie said he
would be able to prove his Identity conclusively-
If the court had allowed the
case to go until January.
The prisoner's manner has not changed
much since his conviction, except that
he talks more readily. He realises the
doom awaiting him, and does not want
to discuss It. He dues not believe in
crossing that bridge until ho comes to
It. On Saturday he requested Warden
Jay to get a barber to shave his whis
kers. He denounced the verdict which
has been recorded against him, but
talks hopefully about getting a second
trial, when he expects to be liberated.

EXTRAORDINARY VALUES.
Stylish Winter Garments Are Being Of
fared at Remarkably Low Prices at the
Great Sale of Francis Fltizibbon'a.
Very soon the carpenters and paint
ers must hold sway In this fashionable
headquarters of -women's outer wear,
and It Is imperative that the stock must
be greatly reduced to make room for
their operations. Values and prices no
longer cling together, but are very
widely apart, as an Inspection of the
ntock plainly shows for the prices
marked are not all commensurate with
the grand values offered. Jackets and
napes of the very best cloths and made
by the very best tnllors are offered for
what other houses charge for common
place goods. Furs, the like of which
i re not to be seen elsewhere In Seran
ton, are being sold for prices generally
t harped for second rate goods. Those
who have not supplied themselves with
winter garments do themselves a great
Injustice if they do not call and look
o-er the hundreds of styles at 132
N. Washington avenue. Only the very
b.st goods are ever offered by this
hiiune, and now is tho opportunity of
the season to get absolutely high-class
giDds at exceedingly low prices. Don't
b too late, but go at once and see for
yourselves what others are taking ad
vantage of, viz.: The offering of the
finest garments ever brought to Seran
ton at prices away below value.
