Bangs became convinced that Maroney
had stolen both packages and was now
using the proceeds Of the ten-thousand-
dollar robbery, and was saving the
10000 for future use. After following
him for several weeks, Mr.. Bangs
thought il safe TO arrest him on civil
action to recover the money whichit was
alleged had been lost through his care
lcssncss, This was done in New York.
and he wa. lodged in the Ludlow street
jail. A month before detective was
also thrown into the prison on charge
Of debt. This officer soon ingratlated
himself in Maroneys favor, and in five
months succeeded in getting out OF him
the statement that he bad large sum OF
money. 1890
On n plea Of being able to assist him
% fortune through cotton speculatlons,
The detective obtained a note from him
to his wife, telling her to give him
"book," which Maroncy had previously
explained TO her meant the package Of
money. According TO the arrangements
the detective met Mrs. Mnroney on a
lonely country road at night, but the
wife had consulted with her uncle who
WIS acquainted with the theft, and re-
fused 10 give up the "book." The de-
tcctiye urged her 80 strongly, however,
that she concluded to ask the advice OF
her female friend. This advice it is
needless to add, secured the money to
the officer. Only $500 had been taken
from the parcel. Mlroney was subse-
qucntly taken to Montgomery and con.
ylcted. He did not know, however, OF
the evidence against him or the recovery
u the money until tho officer walked
into the court and took the witness chair.
The great Adams Express robbery at
Cos Cob bridge, on the New Haven road,
when $500, 600 was taken, was entirely
under the supervision Of Mr.. Bangs, who
recovered nearly the entire amount. He
also planned the workings OF the dis
covcry Of the Molie Mcguire plots and
it was through the fertility of his genius
that the perpetrators were brought to
tie gallows. His body will he buried
by the side OF Timothy Webster, his old
comrade, in the cemetery at Chicago.
They both died in the harness.

A Typc.Settlng Machine.

saw the inventor Of q new type-set-
ting machine recently, says newspaper
correspondent. ! did not see his ma
chine, but if what he claims for it is
true the day of the printer is drawing to
n close. 1t is one Of the maryels OF the
time. 1t will further help the cheapen'
ing of the price of newspapers. His
machine hasa capacity Of setting 10000
ems day. 1t works with iron-clad ac-
curacv. and avoids the fault OF the pres
EN-. type.setting machine in that it can
"mstIfy" the lines as II compCsitor can
now with the hand method. No type is
necessary with this machine, beyond q
few alphabcts Of the various kinds and

keys represent letters and punctuation
marks.
Playing on them imprcsscs these forms
into II paper matrix similar TO that now
employed in moulding the metal forms
employed upon the bullock press. In
stead Of setting up type by the old
method and taking marix from the

is made direct from the machine one
letter ut time, 50 that when the type
setting machine is through the matrix is
instantly ready for the moulding of the
cylindrical forms employed upon the
modern press. The value of this one
feature in the mere saving of time is
great, because the gain Of 'nc minute

ASKING THE WAY.
A Little Lesson In Travelling that Many
Have Experienced.

1t has been said many times that the |
most difficult thing for any man to do is
to direct stranger clearly and correctly
to distant street or building. There |
are two kinds Of men in the matter OF
showing the way, the city resident and
the countryman. The city man is always
perplexed and confused when asked
about the streets he is most familiar
with. He always stops short, wrinkles
his brow and says, "Let me see" But
tie countryman liz never pcrplexed He
knows the "hull kentry fur miles around"
and nothing plcascs him so much az to
pass half an hour in displaying his
knowledge. The following experience
Of II reporter will illustrate the typical
farmers method Of directing:
IL was in Worcester County, Mass,
and Tie reporter had undertaken TO drive
from country town alone, TO we'll
known farm several miles out from the
centre. Losing the way he stopped the
first farmer he met and inquired.

his restless horse. 1t was really restless,

A Jockeys Trick.

Nowadays a good Handicapped will
handicap horses so closely that an ounce
will tell at the finish; and it is an old
saying that a race horse could be so
handicapped that donkey could beat it.
Taking, however, TWO horses of equal
merit, and both fit and well ridden,
seven pounds will make about a length
difference. This has been tried and
demonstrated.
Well, seeing all this, the trick" was
worked in this way: The horse had been
beaten "A head the day before by horse

race, and the weights were very similar,

and then walked back to the winning
post. After the horses passed the post
the course took sweep right away to
the back of the stand. The horse in
question won, but evidently the animal
was full of running, or else the jockey
couldn't pull him up, as he swept round
as if he was going to run the race over
again. But the owner was waiting,
quite accidentally, of course, just where
he pulled up. The owner stepped up
and slipped weight into the Jockeys

start and quietly put it in his pocket and

DANGERS OF COAL GAS.
A Mother anI Child Lose their Lives
and Three Persons Rescued.

Henry Ha gedorn, "A young carpenter, living
in Cleveland Ohio, with his wife and three
children, retired to rest as usual the other
evening. The next morning neighbor
noticed that no one was heard stirring
about the house, but knowing Hage
dorm was out Of work she simply thought
they were takin a long sleep AT O'clock
she became worr ed and knocked at their
door, but received no response. She then
aroused the neighblrs, and after consulta-
ton they decided to force the lock. On
doing so a great draft of coil gas rushed
out almost compelling them to go back.
Seeing what the trouble was, one of the men
rushed into the bedroom and threw up the
windows, letting air in as fast as he could.
The five inmates lay mott nless in their
beds. The mother, baby and daughter in
one and the father and son in the other.
The mother and girl were dead; the baby was
still alive, but unconscious, and the father
and son We're in "A similar condition.
