V THE SCBAJJTOJT TRIBtrSTE TtTESDAT UORNINtf. DECEMBER 29. 1S9R. Neute WEST SIDE EVENTS. Great Revival of Interest at the Jacksoa Street Baptist Church A Bras a Baad a Possibility. Rev. Thomaa DeOruohy. who recently ntekui the uastorate of the Jackson Street Baptist church, has attracted ' crowded houses since his advent. Mr. DeOruehy. as was said In The Trib une's report of the first sermon, threut- ens to stir West Side ministerial circles from center to circumference. He preaches very brief sermons in the evening and his words are not labored hut lieht, entertaining and attractive to the average man. In the second meeting, after the lirst service. Mr. De Gruchy throws aside his facile style and is the eloquently, appealing evan- gellst. He believes in a worldly re ligion; his platform and his defense are his words: "I think that we must come down to the sinner and not have him come to us." - The result of Mr. DeGruchy'a novel efforts thus fur hus been to Increase the attendance to the services and to revive interest In the church. This Is not all. Now Mr. lcOruchy has an nounced that he will have a brass bund, If possible, at the evening service, lie says: "You don't know how fine 'Nearer My God to Thee" sounds when a congre gation sings It to the accompaniment of a brass bund. Why can't we have a band, the other side have enough of them already." Mr. DeGruchy'a former church at "Wakefield. R. I., had its own brass band. Since the new minister cume to the Jackson Street church he has chnnged the seating place of the choir from a high gallery, over his head, and behind him. to a place on the pul pit where he stands, lie didn't like the lilt-n of a part of the congregation being so coldly distant from the com mon people. Mr. PeGruchy also In tends to have 100 more electric lights placed in the church auditorium. "J-sus was the Light of the World," he says In his enthusiastic way, "and places of worship should be bright und cheerful." At the church In Wakellcld Mr. Uefirui hy was president of a lil cycle club- organized among the mem 1ers of His congregation and as he was formerly a carpenter the reverend gen tleman taught a free school In the trade of carpentering in his church. This is Thomas Ih-Uriuhy. Ilia methods are novel, his style of preach ing novel, his manners pluin, his scr niiins can be understood by all and he has a deep spiritual sincerity. CANTATA WKLI. GIVEN. TTnder the leadership of T. Owen Charles, a cantata, "The Slory of the Star," was successfully given last even ing at St. David's Kpiscopal church, Corner Juckson street and Hromley ave nue. The singing was done by the reg ular church choir, assisted by a band of Sunday school children.

Third Ward Ke. publican Club Commute The King f Fills U 8 BEECHAH'g. a- THE TWO VIADUCT ROUTES. Jl It I II in ' ' SlfiTH -I V I v. : The above sketch shows the two proposed viaduct routes. The old route on the south side of West Lackawanna avenue, while much shorter than the one more recently proposed, would Involve a large expenditure of money for the con demning of land. That's what Its opponents say. The more recently forwarded route, from the junction of Lackawuuna avenue and the bridge, extends over the river and the tracks of the Jersey Central and lackawutina roads to Ninth street near Ms junction with Robinson street. Un this route no property would have to be purchased, except a very smull corner on Seventh street and a small strip at the Ninth street terminus. SHE DESERTED HER CHILD Youiif Woman Arrested at Pittstoa for the Inhuman Abandoning of aa In fan! on the Weit Mountain. ,A male Infant child was found near the Diumond reservoir on the West mountain on Thursday, August 20 last, by an Italian arid his wife who were out picking huckleberries. The babe had been abandoned by Its mother and was left there to die. Chief or Police Holding investigated the rase and found out that Elizabeth Wasslleff Bkie, a girl about 20 years old, disap peared from the West Side on the Mon day previous; and the chief obtained sultUient information to warrant the belief that she was the mother of the waif. She was arrested yesterday In Pitts ton, was given a hearing before Alder man Howe and committed to the coun ty jail, as the offense Is not bailable be fore an alderman. She admits the charge agulnst her and says that the father of the child wus killed In the mines. She thinks, but la not sure of it, that he was one of the victims of the Twin shaft disas ter. She Is a bright young womun and has been In this country from Polund since a year lust July. The child died at St. Joseph's Found ling home on September 10, and that makes the case ugalnst her more seri ous. AVhen the berryplckers discovered it they came to the West Side police station nnd notllled Patrolman Peters, who was on day duty. He got a wagon and went to the mountain with them. The child was wedged Into a hole un der the roots of the stump of a tree and the earth had to be dug away to get It out. It was wrapped up in a piece of Canton flannel and was In hor rible condition. Patrolman Peters brought it to the central police station and Chief Rob ling turned It over to Mrs. Duggan, who placed it in St. Joseph's Found ling home. It subsequently died in that Institution. Chief Holding swore out a warrant for the mother's arrest on August 28 before Alderman Howe and thought he hed her located in Plttston, but when he went down there she was gone. She waa next lucated In Kingston, and af ter a short stay there she went to Shlckshlnny. She returned a short while ago to Pittston and was em ployed as a domestic In the hotel kept by Andrew Walukas, a block south of the Junction. Officer Dyer was sent down after her by the chief and he made the arrest and brought her to town on the 12.60 Dela ware and Hudson train yesterday. She made no denial of the charge against her. At the hearing before Alderman Howe she made a clean breast of it, and except an occasional sob now and again she kept on steadily chewing a wad of gum. She la a good looking young woman and was well dressed. She is 20 years old. When she gave birth to the child she was employed aa a domestic In the family of a man named Cusick living in the 1S00 block on Washburn street. CAUCUS OF SELECTMEN. They Decided to Confirm the Appoint . inenl of Permanent Man Lowry. A caucus of the Republican members of Select council waa held last night In Wade M. Finn's ofllce In the Williams building, corner of Washington avenue and Linden street. All were present or accounted for. The meeting was called primarily to decide on a course of action in relation to the appointments of John Lowry to suceed William T. Sproats, permanent man at the Franklin engine house, but various other matters novr before coun cil waa billed to come up shortly were informally discussed." The Kinsley, matter waa one of these, but the opinions were so deverslfled that no attempt was made to come to a common understanding regarding It at present. The propriety of using the Re publican majority to secure just con cessions in the framing of the appro priation ordinance was also talked of and favored, By means of a combina tion It Is thought that much greatly needed legislation heretofore prevented by the lack of concerted action can be forced through. The only definite decision arrived at was to conform the appointment of Permanent Man Lowry when It comes from committee at the regular meeting tomorrow night. To Cure n Cold in One Day.
