ARREST OF ONE OF THE WEST PHILADELPHIA
RoBBERs.-Ye Yesterday, shortly after the notice
of robbery and safe-blowiug at the Office of s.
D. Hall Il Co., at Fifty fifth street and Lancaster
avenue, which occurred on Tuesday night,
Detectives Fletcher and Gorden arrested man
named Warren Emanuel at his residence in this
city. On him was found $3.50 in money some
of which has been identified by the Messrs. Hall
as their property. On him was also recovered
lot of iron pins which used for the purpose
of giving greater leverage to crowbars These
articles exactly fitted the crowbar now in the
possession of the detectives, and which was left
behind by the thieves. In addition, the clothing
which he had worn on that night was wet,
showing that he had ran through the oat field
mentioned by Mr.. Hunter, neighoor OF the
Halls, who gave chase to the robbers. He is
also believed to have been one of the party from
the fact that during the chase one of the thieves
turned on Mr.. Hunter and fired two shots, and
on Emanuel was found revolver with two bar
rels empty. He will have a hearing at the
Central Station this afternoon.
SHARP's IMPROVED PROPELLER WHEEL
new propeller wheel, invented by Colonel &.
Sharp, of Sharp's rifle fame, has just been
tested with success on the Colonels yacht Alio
This propeller is peculiarly suited to the naviga-
tion OF canals shallow rivers, and sounds
although it is equally well adapted for large
ships. The old submerged propeller wheel is
liable to be continually clogged and disabled by
sea-weeds, grass, or by a rope or hawser becom-
ing jammed between it and the stern-post. The
new propeller invented by Colonel Sharp is eX-
empt from any such mishaps. The shaft and
hub are above water, and are always accessible
In the same manner as side wheels. There are
a number of novel features in the construction
OF the propeller, which add greatly to its eff
ciency and its many superiorities over the old
submerged wheels have been amply demon
strated by the experiments on board the Alio,
and there scarcely be doubt that it will
eventually supersede them entirely.
