SMOKING IL BARNS.

The Massachusetts Ploughman very sen
sibly says - NO smoking ought to be
posted i'll every barn. There is not much
difference in having a horse thief around a
stable and man cleaning off horses with
pipe or cigar in his mouth and there is
no man much meaner than the one who.
when his employer comes around. slips
his pipe into his pocket or puts his hand
over it. All such fellows should be paid
off and started off. As for the proprietor
himself going into his barn with his pipe
in his mouth, no complaint can be made
nobody should cry unless it be his wife or
children. Lightning, incendiaries and
Spontaneous combustion combined do not
cause As many barns to be burned as the
pipe. and, generally, at least one good

ACCUSED OF CRAVE CRIMES.

AN IMPORTANT ARREST N COURT
A SPECTATOR AT THE HOPE TRIAL MADE PRISONER
AND TAKEN TO THE FIFTEENTH PRECINCT STA
TION.
There was, among the spectators in the General
Sessions Courtroom yesterday afternoon, while
the trial Of John Hope. the Manhattan Bank
burglar, was in progress, large and powerfully
built man who seemed to take deep interest In the
proceedings. While his attention was directed
closely upon the witness who was tesifying, Police
Sergeant Meecham, Of the Central Station, and De-
tective Dolan of the Fourteenth Precinct, both
Of whom have been working with Captain Byrnes,
of the Fifteenth Precinct, for some days past ap-
preached the spectator quietly one on each side,
and before he realized their purpose he was Sc
curely handcuffed. The capture was made so
quickly that only those in the immediate vicinity
knew anything about 1t.
The prisoner made cutlery and attempted no
resistance He was taken to the Fifteenth Precinct
Station and thence to jefferson Market Police Court,
where. after a whispered conversation with Captain
ByTnes, Justice Murray remanded the prisoner
back to the custody of Captain Byrnes and he was
confined in = cell at the Fifteenth Precinct Station.
The proceedings We're conducted with the same
secrecy which has characterized Captain Byrnes's
operations frequently when publicity would endan-
ger the Of his plans. II is believed that by
this afternoon the network of evidence which
CAPTAIN Byrues and his detectives are collecting
Will be complete, when "a ghly-sensatlonal chap
ter In the criminal records of the city viii be made
public Ii is believed that II would defeat the ends
of Justice TO publish either the name OF the
prisoner or the crime with which he is supposed to
be connected at the present time.
