There Is said to be a split in the rail

Schroeder and Robinson, the other
members of the committee, went Into

To the reporters they stated that
they had not framed any report and
would have another meeting- tonight,
Just prior to the council meeting, when
It Is expected Mr. Ross will be present,
and a conclusion arrived at. It may be
possible that the committee will hang

HAS NOT YET ACCEPTED THE CALL
Says That oa His Betara to Asbary

Drterssinatioa with Reference to
the Baptist CoagregatioaHis Re
marks at the Meeting.
Rev. Joseph K. Dixon, D. D., of Phila
delphia, who has been extended a call
to the oastorate of tse Penn Avenue
Baptist church came to Scranton yes
terday. He is accompanied by Mrs.
Dixon and last night conducted the
weekly prayer meeting In the church
where he iwelved a Mattering reception
by a congregation that filled the large
auditorium.
Dr. Dixon has not intimated that hv
will accept or decline the call nor will
ho do so during his present visit which
will last until tomorrow. He and Mrs.
Dixon are being entertained at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Hallstead on
Mlfllln avenue, where after last night's
service they received socially the offi
cers of the church and their wives.
At the conclusion of the prayer meet
ing Dr. Dixon referred briefly to his
presence here. He said: "A minister's
son was asked If his father had accept
ed the call to a ivTtalu church. The
boy replied, 'No; pa's praying for light,
but the trunks are packed. ' " Dr. Dixon
remarked that the story Illustrated his
case us far as the praying was concern
ed but he had not reached the point
where It was necessary to pack the
trunks.
To a Tribune reporter he suld his re
ply to -the call would not be made until
after his return to Asbury Park whore
he and his family have lately been so
journing. He liked Scranton and Its air
of New York hustle: he liked to see
things whirl and curry on his religious
work In the midst of It.
Whllo Dr. Dixon has not intimated
what will be his-decision the officers of
the church feel sanguine that the ar
dent -and unanimous feature of the call
will have Its effect and that Scranton
will secure a young and progressive
preacher whose characteristics are fully
In touch with th nature of the city.

The Wilmots Made u Thieving Tour
Before Leaving Hallstead.
It would appear from yesterday's de
velopments that the Hallstead bicycle
thieves, the Wllmot brothers, decided
ti take along about as much of their
neighbor's property as they could con
veniently carry when they made their
midnight exit Tuesday night.
A constable from Hullsteud came
here yesterday In response to Chief
Robliug's telegram and upon going to
the station house found among the ar
ticles taken from the Wilmots, a re
volver, box of cartridges and sack coat
which hud been stolen from two dif
ferent places Tuesday night. Other
places were entered, It Is supposed, by
the brothers, but If they got anything
they succeeded In disposing of It before
reaching this city.
The two prisoners, the bicycles and
the rest of the stolen property were
taken back to Hallstead yesterday af
ternoon. TWO UNPROVOKED ASSAULTS.

Come in and get these Pillow Sham
Holders we are now offering for 19c
each, and then you'll have lots of time
to congratulate 3'ourself. They are as
good as those sold for 30c or 40c.
We lose money, of course, but then
Have you one of those little folding
work tables? They are always ready

not a whit stronger, but just a little
bit finer.
