When the application of P. J. Con

He called attention to the evidence
which had been heard on the lemon
stranco and said that It had been rath
er strong, but that Mr. Conway had
swore that It any liquor had been sold
to minors or on Sunday that he had
not been aware of It.
When Judge Edwards bad finished,

TEN BOYS IN THE TOILS.
Five Moie Weie Ariested Yesteiday
for Complicity in the Brass
Thefts Another Junkman
Suspected of Implication.
Five moie boys have been arrested
for complicity In the wholesale bras3
thieving that has been going on for
the last month or two and another
Junk dealer Is In a fair way to get
Into bother
James J. Walsh, 'Albert Schenilns'kl,
Joseph Gaughan, Robeit Sellno and
Ernest Sellno, the latter two bi others,
compose tho quartette arrested yes
terday. Gaughan and Walsh are be
ing held for further Questioning. Tho
Sellne boys were committed by Alder
man Millar in default of 300 ball. The
Schemlnskl lad, who has been befoio
the alderman a number of times for
aiIous petty offenses, was lemanded
for a further healing. The alderman
will try to have him sent to a reforma
tory. Walsh and Gaughan, It appears, were
associated with the gang that was ar
iested ptevlously. The other three had
a gang of their own and din uuslnes .
with a junkman named Green on
Scranton flats.
This latter gang Is charged particu
larly with breaking Into a barn In tho
i ear of Jonas Long's Sons' store and
stealing the brass attachments of th?
old Wyoming house machinery that
was stored there.
Hairy Wessel, one of the five hoys
pievlously arrested, was Implicated In
the work of the South Side ging.
SPECIAL LEVY NECESSARY.
Nearly 100,000 Has to Be Raised for
New Sewers.
City Engineer Joseph P. Phillips yes
teiday eerved notice upon Dunn Bros
to begin wor on the South Side sewer
ou April 1. The ordinance under which
tho contract was cei tided prescribe!
that the woik shall begin when the city
engineer shall elect.
The sewer will cost $33 000, of which
the city cortrlbutcs two-thirds There
Is no appropriation to meet this ex
pense but as the work was directed to
proceed by order of court, the control
ler could certify tho contract with lia
bility to himself. The expense will be
made up by special levy, if provision
cannot be made for It in the lodgments
and Incidentals fund next yeai.
In addition to thin, the city will have
to make provision this year for Its
share of other sewers as follows; Phllo
street, $17,290, Scranton street, IC7J.S0;
Sections B, C and D of the Fifth sower
district, Piovldencc, JU.300.75.
There Is nljo $47,C',O.JO to be provided
for the Nineteenth dlstilct sower, nnd
$S63.77 frr the Seventeenth waid sewer,
on which viewers are now nt work and
which will probably bo ready for con
struction before tho year Is out.
This makes n total of TS5.4S7 93 that
the city must meet and for which thero
Isn't a cent nvallabK A special levy
will doubtlessly bo tho tesult.

Among the applicants for relief was
Mrs. Ann Dryer, of Gibson stieet. Sho

thirty. An infant was clasped at her
breast.
"Are you a widow ?" asked Secretary
Gillespie, beginning' the usual line of
luesMonincr.
"Yes, sir."
"How long have you been a widow?"
"Seventeen years, sir."
"No, you don't understand," Inter
rupted Chairman Brooks, "How long
haB your husband been dead?"
"Seventeen years, sir."
The metnbers looked from ono to tho
other and then at the woman. She per
ceived the dlmoulty and dropping her
head lemarked.
"This Is my daughter's baby."
"Oh," said tho board In subdued cho
rus It de eloped that the child's father
went away with the Thirteenth regi
ment and Its mother went away In
borne other direction, leaving tho child
to be cared for by its grandmother.
Tho case was refeired to Director Ful
ler. The number of relief applicants was
unusually small.
A new rule was adopted fixing the
office hours of the secretary from 9 to

afternoon. Heretofore there were no
houis fixed In which the secretary was
required to bo in his office.
