4 Creditable Achievement.

u SACVaVWUAC ACWlCvCwC0US
The detective work done by one of the
mayors special police on Saturday in
the apprehension of Srimmer was very
creditable to his intelligence and zeal.
It shows what may be done by policemen
who have courage for their work and in
terest in it when they are furnished with
a fair degree of intelligence. 1t did not
take any extraordinary degree Of any of
these qualities to enable DIR. Fitzpatrick
to put into Jail one of the firebug gang
that infests the city. The crimes that
have already been' committed pointed
very clearly to the order of persons who
should he suspected and watched. There
are not many men of sound mind who
would take delight in profitless incen
diarism. For many years there has
been rowdy set, however, in this city,
which every now and then has dis
tinguished itself by an ou break of in
cendiary disposition. None of them
have been punished, We believe, as yet,
and their immunity has made them
bold. They have been politicians and
hangers.on Of certain of the old volur.
teer fire companies, and flatter them
selves that they possess influence enough
for their protection.
When DR.. Fitzpatrick-who probably
is doing his present work through the
incentive of the reward as well as be-
cause it is in itself interesting to him
saw one of this class of men coming
from the fire at the poorhouse barn
he quietly concluded that it would be
well to watch his further movements.
This was intelligent action, and it was
rewarded by the detection of one of the
probable incendiaries. No doubt there
is gang of them. One of the firebugs
being detected the others will be found
among his associates. Surveillance over
these probably will put stop to incen-
diarism. Such watch should be MAIN
tained by the police on all the suspicious
characters in the city. There are not
very many of them. Every necessary
power to act should he bestowed upon
the mayor il he does not already possess
them. No expense should be spared.
These incendiary fires must be put q
stop to at any cost. There is

Drunk and DlsOrdorly.

This morning Alderman McConomy
committed John Miller to the county
prison for ten days for drunken and dis
orderly conduct.
On Saturday and Sunday nights there
was great deal of drunken and disor-
derly conduct in different parts of the
city. Some roughs kicked up muss on
North Prince, near Walnut, and there
were a couple of family fights in other
parts of the town.

tinued reason to condemn.
In Maine Mr.. Blaine feels loss Of con-
sideration on account Of bis private sta

pushing themselves forward, and are
glad Of any opportunity to teach him that
there is no Office for him in or from the
state of Maine.
Mr.. DoRsEY's collection Of "frozen
facts" an additional installment Of which
is published elsewhere continues to have
an interest for the .,eueral public, not the
least phase Of which is the writer's inordi
nate desire 10 have Judge Folger in the
cabinet. As contributions to the literature
Of politics the Dorsey letters arc at least
unique.
BooKwALrER is booked to run tor Con-
gress against Keifer 10 the Eighth Ohio
district, and a correspondent of the New
York Times reports that while tho district
is ordinarily Republican by a comfortable
majority, with the distracting issues with
which the Republican find themselves con.
fronted, combined With General Koifer's
unfavorable record as speaker, the result
Of the coming election may be to give the
district to the Democrats.
Rev. J. NJ. p. OTIS, Presbyterian di-
vine, who has been heard in this city, and
now pastor of the Chambers Presbyterian
church in Philadelphia, says that heaven
is not a place to which good people 60
when they die, but state into which
they enter while they live aud hell a con
dition Of misery iuto which sin plunges
people in this life. Every man is now
rising to be an angel or sinking to be a
devil, and these who are driven away into
outer darkness in their own lives. On the
last great day the separation will be made
by natural selection.
ucation convention held at Ocean Grove,
N. j., last week, it was stated that 80
per cent. Of the voters in this country
were unable to read the ballots which they
cast. These figures, it is claimed, are
based on the forthcoming census report.
Three fOurths Of these illiterate voters, or
about 1900, 900 in round numbers, lived
in the o!d slave stat; s, and they constitute
the great bulk oc the Republican party in
those states to-day. Indeed, it may be
said that New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, whose combined vote iu the elec-
toral college is nearly half that necessary
to name president, would be unques-
tionably Democratic We're it not for the
illiterate negro vote that has drifted
ncrthwarl since the wal. These are cold
facts which the "party of great moral
ideas - should occasionally call to mind.

MURDERED FOR AN APPLE.

The Fatal snot of an Eccentric Farmer.
Jesse Mandville, an employe on the farm
of Mark Van Elton, near Port Jervis, N.
Y, was shot and fatally injured by an
eccentric old farmer named Philip Etting.
Mandville was walking past Etting's
orchard and jumped over the fence to
pick an apple from the ground. EttiDg
saw him and fired, hitting Vaudeville in
the back below tho region of the heart.
The doctors say that ho cannot live. He
is twenty three years Of age and is known
to be quiet and inoffensive young man.
Etting shot the hand off a tramp who was
trcspassing on his property about four
months ago, and some twelve months
since he locked himself up for three
months in garret to escape Judgment
Of 5000, although he is one of the
wcaithicst men thereabouts. Etting imme-
dia.ely disappeared after the shooting aud
an excited lot of people are anxiously
securing the woods for him. There is
strong talk of lynching.

alarmed Mr.. We eel when the fire started.
A number Ut witnesses were examined
i0 regard to the other fire. Adam Smith.
the driver Of hose cart No. 8, testified that
he was sitting in front Of the engine house
on Saturday Afternoon about 80 O'Clock.
when Brimmer came past drunk, and after
asking for Jacob Faust, the driver of tho
engine, said "We're going to have some
fun this afternoon" He then walked M
East King street. At the fire Brimmer
assisted witness to take the horse from
the cart.
Christian Cramer, . German, testified
that ON Saturday he had been out along
the creek gathering wood. When he came
up to near the poOrhOuse he saw tho barn
was on fire. Just at that time q man
dressed like Brimmer (ths prisoner had
ON dark coat and vest and light panta-
looms and black al0uch hat.-REP I ran
down along the fence away from the barn.
The man was the same size - Brimmor.
Other witnesses saw . man dressed like
the prisoner running along the fence from
the barn. He had his back toward them,
and they did not get to sec his face he
was about Brimmer's size. At the flro
Drummer was seen by different parties i'm.
mediately after the breaking out of it.
Ono man saw him have hold Of pig, res
cuing it.
The prisoner was asked if he had any
thing to say in regard to the affair. He
stated that on Saturday he had been with
a friend named McKeown nearly all day,
and was just going into Philip Ginder's
grocery when tho alarm sounded and he
went right to the p0OrhOuse. When he
told Smith there would be fun he meant
that he and McKeown were going to have
some fun with some girls with whom they
had made an engagement to 60 to the
creek. Tho prisoner was asked number
of questions and he became somewhat
tangled in his statement in regard to his
whereabouts at different times ON SatuT-
day. ISL. Is.
The alderman committed him to
Jail to answer at court both charges. He
was taken in charge by the chief Of police
and was quickly driven to prison by Chief
Engineer Howell.
Another Case Agaiust lsrimmer,
Another case has been brought against
Brimmer, in which he is charged with
having set fire to stable ON the property
Of Michael Trisslcr, deceased, several
weeks ago. It is said that there is strong
evidence against him.

great encouragement to hope that
this will be done, in the discovery
that there is on the police force one man
at least qualified for his place. There
has been such lamentable lack of eff
cheney on the force that there was cause
to apprehend that there would not be
any early detection Of the incendiaries.
We are glad to find that there has thus
early been afforded US an opportunity to
laud when we expected only to have con.
tinued reason to condemn.

but being fearful that his own property
might be burned, returned to the pike
through Mr.. Clark private grounds. DR..
Fitzpatrick returned with him and then
fastened down the pike, passing Clark's
residence, the public school house and
Ranck's residence and stationed himself
in the road running north from the pike
between Ranck' house and Rohrer's S green
house. Here he was joined by David NJ.
Bair, familiarly known as I" Grizzly" who
at the request of MIR. KOhlhaus had hur-
ried to Fitzpatrick's assistance. Imme.
diately after his arrival Brimmer was seen
running from Ranck's barn towards the
pike and in o moment afterwards the barn
was seen to be ON fire, and Fitzpatrick and
Bair simultaneously gave the alarm. Rrim-
mer jumped into Mr.. Gemperling's wagon
which was passing, and asked to be taken
to town but Fitzpatrick halted the team
and told Brimmer he "wanted him" for
firing the barn. He jumped from the
wagon, gave himselfup without resistance,
and was taken into custody by Fitzpat-
rick and Bair. Tho only remark he made
was "DoctOr, you arc marked man. "
He was turned over to Officer Burn,
taken to the station house. thence to
Alderman McConomy, by whom after u
brief hearing, he was committed to Jail to
answer at court for arson.
At q later hour chief Deichler made
