K Since the Austro-Germans in their drive through Galicia in May and June threw the Russians back upon & the line of the Dneister and the Zlota “Lipa and Gnila Lipa rivers late in June, there has been comparative in- ctivity along this front so far as the ial reports hve indicated.

Rutherford After s Building Inspector Rutherford was angry this afternoon for a time, when it v called to his attention that a protguding iron girder which is an alléged menace at the corner of East Main and Main streets, where exca- vation is being done at the Hotel Bronson, has not heen removed de- spite his orders of ten days ago to do 80. \ When Mr. Rutherford called at the hotel this afternoon he asked to see P. S. McMahon, the proprietor and was informed that he was in Berlin. He then examined the premises and found them as were explained to him a short time previous, he says. He at once served notice on C. I. Wooding, who is in charge of the work, that unless the obstruction is removed be- fore night, he would have the pro- prietor in court Monday morning. According to Mr. Rutherford a re- port of a woman being injured by the girder was received by him a few days ago. He investigated, and found conditions such as to warrant the ordering of its removal, he says. This order was not complied with, and it is his intention to enforce the law if ‘his instuctions are not obeyed now, he states. FAND AGAINST STRIKE.

Who ars a part of his parish, were contemplating building a church Reports have come to his ears, the pastor said, that this faction in his church was to commence the build- ing of a house of worship for them- selves. He declared that he had even heard that they had purchased three - or four lots on the street for the purpose, IFather Bojnowski said he ap- proached severai of the leaders of the faction concerning the rumor hui all were reticent. Rev.

Father Bojownski stated that there are about 260 members of this faction in his congregation. Aboul a year ago they entrusted their bank book to him nand had saved up near ly $1,000 Last September Fath Grohol was transferred to this city from Milford. The little faction seem- ed to be inspired at once with a new spark of life as soon as he ar- rived here. The bank book was taken away from Father Bojnowski and since then he has not been kept in- | formed on any of their doings. “They are trving to Kkeep it a se- cret,” he said.
