Capt. R. r. Devries, Of this city, Super
intendent of the Baltimore & 0hio's
Trans-O Ohio division, arrived here yester'
day morning from Cincinnati in his pri'
vate car Newark" and spent the day
here with his family. Since the recent
severe injury to Coz. w. w. Peabody,
the General Manager of all the Baltimore
& Ohio's lines west of the river, Capt.
Deyries has been Acting General Man
ager, the duties OF which position
coupled with those as Superintendent OF
the Trans.O Ohio division, have kept him
pretty busy, but his well known execu-
tive ability has enabled him to discharge
these dodble duties in manner every
way satisfactory. The Captain is very
anxious to see Wheeling offer the Balti-
more & Ohio a practical right OF way
through here, so that allEthrough trains
can be put through here and the city
made the important railroad point that
it was the original intention OF the pro-
iectors OF the road to make OF her. Once
n right OF way is granted, n handsome
new depot, extensive shops and yards
and a northern approach to the Bellaire
bridge will follow in short order.

This evening at the Grand Miss Edith
Sinclair and her dramatic company will
open an engagement OF three nights and
a matinee in the familiar play, "a Box
of Cash." The company and the piece
have been seen several times at the
Grand, and it is not necessary to speak
at length OF them. The story OF the
play is interesting, il trite, and Miss Sin
clair has won many plaudits in her role.

Rev. William Ulfert, one of the judges
to whom was left the decision Of the
points in dispute between: Rev, NJ. +.
Dryden and Rev. Father McElligott as
to the quotations made by the former
from the writings of Justin, has rem
dered his decision, which is as follows:
"In one case, the translationgiven by
Rev. Dryden was not correct. The orig
inal Greek did not warrant Mr.. Dryden's
rendering. In another instance, when
protesting to give Justin's teaching in
regard to the Eucharist, gave IN incom-
plete quotation, stopping just at the
words OF Justin, which taught the doc
trine Of the Catholic Church, The trans
lation of the incomplete quotation which
Mr.. Dryden cited, was accurate"

SEARCHING FOR TIE CROOKS.

A telegram was sent here little be-
fore II o'clock Saturday night, detailing
the robbery, and asking the police to
search all incoming trains here, us the
robbers were believed to be Wheeling
crooks and were known to have come in
this direction. Four or five members Of
the city police force went to the B. & 0.
depot, yards and other points where it
would be possible for crook to alight,
at all the night trains, but no trace could
be found OF the men. The police also
visited the haunts OF the well known
crooks who make their headquarters
here, but without result.
Yesterday two Washington county
officials came here in reference to the
case, and remained here over night, but
it is not probable that their visit had or
will have any result. Further than n
general description OF the parties who
composed the gang, which tallies with
that OF every similar exploit on record
in the vicinity in the past few years,
there is no clue to work from, and if the
gang is ever brought to justice it will
probably be rs a result OF their own
growing boldness. Their recklessness
has been several times illustrated lately,
and never more strongly than in this
case. The masks they used to take the
precaution to wear have been dis
Carded.

mon HANDED CONDUCT.


Yesterday morning, at an early hour
three men, doubtless these robbers
boarded the second section OF Baltimore
& Ohio freight train No. 90, and be
haved in an utterly reckless and despe'
rate manner.
Just where they got on is not known
The train consisted OF seven heavily
loaded cars. 1t stopped at the east END
OF the West Alexander tunnel short
time, and then ran carefully to the sta
ton, where stop was made to receive
orders and to take water. The train was
in charge OF Conductor Corners. AZ
the train started downed a grade be
tween West Alexander and Point Mills
the front brakeman went back to set the
brakes on the cars. Ho climbed ovel
the first car, gondola heavily loaded
with coal, and was about to grasp the
brake-wheel, when three rough
looking but fairly well dressed
men confronted him and asked:
"What do you want here, you?
II want to set this brake" he replied
The men, who were riding on the pro
jecting end of the car floor, evidently
thought the idea was to stop the train.
"YOu don't set no -- brakeF
said one Of them.
"But l haven't done nothing to you,
and l got to set the brake to save us
going down this grade"
All three OF the men drew revolvers
and covered the brakeman, saying
"Gitw
He got, and seeing the middle brake,
man coming forward, told him to 80
back too. The former then told the en-
gineer what was up, and the train was
backed to West Alexander. There q
search OF the train was made aud coun.
ty constable and village officer aroused,
but the men had disappeared.
The delay OF the train made her con-
siderably late in her arrival here. She
is due at $500 n. m, but did not arrive
until 1926.
TIME TO sTGP IT.
The conductor told his story here, and
from the description given by his brake
man, 1t is evident that they were the
same men who robbed Miller. 1t Is
supposed that they jumped off the train
Just us It left the trestle on which it was
when the engineer began to back, and
that they lay in the ditch beside the
road until the train passed, then escap-
ing under cover Of darkness.
1t is time some efficient means were
taken to apprehend and punish this
gang. They have now pursued their
reckless course for four years or so, in
that time perpetrating numerous out
RACES, the very boldness of which takes
away ones breath. Doors have been
battered open with heavy timbers in the
night in thickly settled neighhorhoods,
enough noise being made to wake
the dead, almost. Mysterious hints
are heard now and then us to the
identity OF the gang, yet they go on per-
petrating new robberies and sliving
nicely off the proceeds. There was a
time when members of the gang had
money in bank. One, at least, is fugi.
tive from justice with reward standing
for his recapture, and there are in all
several thousands Of dollars for the man
who finally aPpEehends the members OF
the party.

A robbery was perpetrated Saturday
evening in the country not fur from
West Alexander, Pa, and about four
teen miles east of Wheeling, which in
its details recalls the ever memorable
Workenauer robbery, and that OF Elijah
Marling and others which followed. 1t
has been apparent fora long time that q
majority OF the robberies committed in
this vicinity were the work OF one gang,
The similar brutal methods employed,
the likeness in the descriptions OF the
parties engaged in the work, and other
circumstances connected with each rob
berry, point Enthusiastically to this con
clusion. Therobbery of the Workenauel
family, in Manchester, on Christmas eve
'si, by masked men who by mair
strength broke into the house and aftel
slight struggle overpowered the ole
man, his wife and young son, was the
first OF series, apparently still running
several OF them in this city, one in thu
country n few miles from town, one a

others in the country over in Ohio.

The latest of this series was the rob-
berry OF Christ Miller, a farmer living
about two miles from West Alexander,
Saturday night. Three men entered
his house, while a fourth kept watch
outside. The house was not yet closed
for the night, il being between Z and. IS
o'clock, and the men had no difficulty in
getting in. They covered Mr.. Miller
and bis wife with revolvers, gagged and
bound him and tied her to a bed post,
and proceeded leisurely to ransack the
house. They found in Que place $3.50,
and in another $35, making S2S5 in all,
which theystole. They also carried otfa
rifle and shotgun probably not because
OF consideration Tor their value, but to
prevent their being OF use il Miller
should get loose quickly after their de-
parture. The guns could be OF no useto
the men, as their possession would not
only cucumber them, but betray them
to everybody who heard of the robbery.
They were, doubtless, thrown away as
soon as the men were at safe distance
from the house. Some other small arti-
cles were taken, and the men left the
house shortly after eight o'clock, leaving
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller bound as described.
The family managed to get loose and
raise the alarm.
