A Trio of Crooks Arrested on suspicion
Yesterday.
In passing along East Seventh street
near Broadway, about II o'clock yesterday
morning, Detective Tom Kenally ran across
the familiar visage of VIM. Cummings,
an old safe blowSr and
burglar, who was accompanied by
two other suspicious characters
All three of the men wore tired and
played out appearance, as though, for in
stance, they had just returned from an IN
successful raid, and with the view of giving
them rest they were invited to take a
walk to the cooler.
On reaching city hall the pals Of Cum
mings gave the names of Pat Foley and
John CLARK, the latter being scarcely more
than what is known in police vernacular
than a "kid." On the person of Cummings
was found several dollars in change, while
Clark had about $50 in his roll. Foley
carried a partially burned candle, several
bullets and a lot of matches. Immediate
~ on being locked ap they went
to sleep, bearing out the theory
that they had just returned from long
siege. It has been intimated that they
may have been concerned in the recent
safe blowing iobs, and again that they
may have had some connection with the
recent fires. They were detained until
this morning in the hopes of finding some
information that might lead to their "lay."

HOUSED FOR THE WINTER.

The Venerable Margaret Bradley Goes
Out for Ninety Days by Order of Judge
Burr-Failins to Report Scarlet Fever
Cases.
$50 you want to go out to the Shepherds
again, do your" said hizzoner, as the
portly and venerable form of Margaret
Bradley doomed up at the session again
yesterday morning. Poor old Margaret
has been before the court many end many
time, and the day was when
she was young and defiant, and nothing
had the effsct 10 tie her rattling tongue or
awe her. Yesterday she WAS quite sub
dued, and it seems that at last this old
creature has almost got to the end of her
string. She was charged with va
grancy, and she looked cold, hungry and
her ragged garments afforded but meagre
shelter against the icy blasts of winter.
Thursday night she came into the city hall
and asked to be sent up, saying that if
her desire was not granted she would
throw stone through the window and
then they would have to arrest her. Yes
terday she was very well behaved and when
her case was called she sought the ear of
Judge Burr and said that she would like
to have little Christmas money to put in
her stocking, and then she whispered some
thing about being out of clothes, and the
good Judge took up collection of money
with which she was to buy tobacco to
solace her solitary life and list was also
taken of what clothing she wanted, which
the court promised to sent out to her.
Then she was sentenced for ninety days
and she left the room with courtsey and
GOD bless your Worship" quite happy.
The docket was very light, and after
VIM. Alley had loosened to the extent of
S. for having been drunk the court took
a recess.
In the afternoon DR.. G. G. Higbie was
before the court on the charge of failing
to report case of scarlet fever, alleged to
have been in his care at house on Broad
way street, on the S0th of October. The
complaint was made by DR.. Hoyt, of the
board of health, and DR.. Higbie was de-
Tended by Mr.. Louis Kelly who made
test case OF it, citing at length number
of authorities, and making very able and
eloquent defense.

per cent. profit, having no competition, and on
which the agent is protected in the exclusive
sale by deed given for each and every county
he may secure from US. With all these advan-
tages TO on. agents, and the fact that it is an
article that can be sold to every houseowner, it
might not be necessary to make an "Ertraor-
binary Ofer' to secure G cd agents at once,

only our confidence in the merits of our inven-
ton, but in its Suitability by
any agent that will handle it

making FROM S15G to 5000 month clear, and
this fact makes it safe for to make this offer
to all who are out of employment. Any agent
that will give our business thirty days. trial

all expenses, can return all goods unsold to and

of agents ever dared to make such offers, nor
would we if we did not know that we have
agents now making more than double the
amount we guaranteed, and that but two sales
day would give profit of over Sl25 month,
and that one of agents took eighteen
orders in one day. Our large desert ptive circu-

THE FIJ.E-BUGs, ROSK.
Three Stable Fires Yesterday, Ala I

Three Stable Fires Yesterday, ALI I'm
doubleday the Work of In cendiarfes.
Yesterday morning between o'clock
and daybreak, was rather a frisky morning
for fires. During the brief period named
there we're three fires, and the peculiar
character of the building together with the
location IN which they ell took
place fully confirms the theory that they
were the work of the fire bug or incendia-
~.
The FIRST and most extensive blaze was
discovered at 2:s2 O'clock, being located
in the People Ice compaRy's barn, owned
by Deiel & Hardy, in the rear of No. 202
Oak street.
A very completesaccoEnto of this fire was
given in yesterdays issue of the GLOBE
An alarm was turned in from box No. IL
which brought out the department., and
tie latter did some very prompt and
creditabIe work. A number of horses in
the barn were gotten out and the building
was only partially damaged. It contained
about 700 bushels of oats and about eigh-
teen tons of hay, which were, of course
badly damaged, The total loss is in the
neighborhood of $500, and this
is covered by an insurance of $500 on the
barn and an equal amount on the contents
The policies are in the Hartford insur-
ance companies. The owners have nc
doubt but that the place was set on fire
as there was neither light nor fire in
the barn Thursday night. During the ex-
citement of rescuing the horses both Mr..
Defel and Mr.. Hardy were kicked by
horses and slightly injured. Mr.. Hardy
was kicked in the breast and Mr.. Dsfel
in the nip. They were both doing vel
yesterday.
ANOTHER BARN FIRED.
While the above fire was in progress
Police Officer STATE, on the Seven corners
beat, discovered smoke issuing from the
barn formerly owned by O'Donnell and
situated on Fourth street, east of the Wins
low house.
The side of the barn was found to be or
fire and the incipient blaze was put out by
Officers STATE and Babe. The odor of pc
troleum was very strong about the premis
es, and the place is supposed to have been
fired. The damage was slight.
ANOTHER FIRE BUG.
At 5:07 O'Clock the barn in the rear OF
No. 1875 West Sixth street, owned by N
Burnheim, was discovered to be on fire. Ar
alarm vas turned in from box No. 16, and
when the department reached the scene G
lively blaze was in progress. After little
vigorous work the fire was put out, and the
damage was comparatively slight. Wher
the fire started there were in the barn five
COWS, horse and calf
all of which were rescued
The fire started in the hay loft and it il
supposed to have been the work of an in
cendiary. The total loss is not more thar
500 and the building and contents were
insured for $4,000.

A recent dispatch from New York hiss
the following about the fellows who went
in to squeeze Willard and how they came
out:
A prominent Wall street operator, speak
ing to-day of Mr.. Willard and the Oregon
&, Transoontinental deal, said; "Do you
want te know who the losers were? Find
out Wko have touched the stocks and you
will have the answer. Their name is
LEGION, es somebody remarked. Woer-
ishof er and Willard are about the only men
who have had anything to do with them
who are not losers. Wosrishoffer has made
half a million bearing them. Oar firm hss
lost big money. We have a customer on
our books who bought 4, 900 shares ct 94s 3.
He has it yet. His loss is quarter of q
million. His home is mortgaged and his
house must go. l dare not tell you his
name, for ruin is staring him in the Eace
and publicity would precipitate it. He
still believes in Mr.. Willard and his prom
ises, and has refused to act on our advice.
Massachusetts is especially full OF victims.
Many retired manufacturer in the little
cities has had the larger part OF his in
come swept away, and hnds himself IN his
old age poor man. The Boston capital
lists have sunk $15,000,00O in the
Willard schemes. It is currently
reported that Frederick Billings, Mr.. En-
dicott and George Pullman have lost be-
tween ST. 100000 and 100000 apiece.
Every one of them can stand it and hard
ly feel it, It is a small part of'their for
tune. Mr.. Endioott made nearly all he
lost out of the Railway q Navigation COM
pany when it was organized. Gen. Porter
is reported to have lost 100000, but if he
has it will not trouble him. Horace White
is said to have dropped a quarter of a
million, and j. G. Mills good deal. It's
too bad. know for fact that Mr.. Viii
lard's own clerks and secretaries lost heav
lily on his points. One of them WAS cleaned
out entirely, He lost $4,000. You hear
of them all over the country. Only last
week D. NJ. & e. G. Halbert, the big dry
goods men of Binghampton, failed BECAUSE
they had dropped 100000 in o. T."
A private dispatch from London
fnancier says that the origin of Mr.. Hen
ry Willard wealth consisted OF some
100000 which the brother OF Sir Wilfried
Lawson intrusted to him for Investment il
solid American securities. MIR. Willard
upon becoming the agent for the sale OF
Wisconsin Central securities, is said tc
have nut the money in them at about par
and when they subsequently went down to
nothing the whole money was lost and a
lawsuit was instituted against him. II
was only recently that the suit was settled

Last Monday night an ordinance was
smuggled through the Chicago city eoun-
Gil authorizing the Chicago & Evanston
Railroad company to run its track through
certain streets in the city and to bridge
the river. The people of Chicago appear
to be very strongly opposed to this, and
The attorney general of the state accord
ingly has fled bill in the superior court
OF Cook county in the name OF the people
of the state of Illinois asking Cor an in
junction against the company.
The bill sets out first the original char
ter Of the Chicago & Evanston Railroad
company granted by an act of the leglsla-
ture in force February 16, 1861, which
charter it is claimed was repealed and
made null and void by the adoption of
the constitution of 1870, providing for the
lapse of charters, grants, privileges, etc.,
to organizations which we're not IL opera
ton within ten days from the time of the
constitution taking effect, because. rs is
alleged, that the Chicago i Evanston Rail-
road company was not in operation in
any way or manner within ten days of the
going into effect of the constitution of
1870.
The bill then relates the condition Of
the North branch of the Chicago river at
the point whore the defendant railroad
com pauiss are about to construct an addi-
tioual railroad bridge, and shows by plat
how navigation would be impeded and
maze impossible by the building of such
bridge. An exhibit is made OF the traffic
through and over the bridges now in ex-
istence to show its enormity, and it is
then averred that the Chicago & Evanston
road, which means TO seriously hgrass this
important traffic, is in reality only in
tended to be twelve miles long, AID only q
blind for the Chicago, Milwaukee s. st
Paul Railroad company, which intends to
use this new short-line as southern ter
minus for its northern business, almost
equal in volume to that done
by the Northwestern railroad, whose traffic
would be vastly impeded by the building
short distance from its bridge.
It is claimed on these grounds that the
erection of the proposed bridge, becsus,
hindrance to the navigation of the north
branch, is al unWarrentable enoroschment
upon the people of Illinois, and that the
people are entitled to have the same re-
strained by injunction. 1t is further
claimed that the charter of this road gives
it power to operate horse railway only,
and that in 1876 the council repealed all
franchises and privileges the road had to
run road IN Chicago. The case is to be
argued on the 18th of January, and moth
inv is to be done before that day.
