SLICK DOG-THIEVEs.
They Do a Thriving Business anG
Look Innocent.

Look Innocent.
Philadelphia Record.
"People who steal dogs are among the
smartest thieves in the country" said a
detective, as he listened yesterday to
the wall of a maid, whose lip trembled
as she told how her favOrite pug had
been spirited away. "That'S the tenth
complaint I've heard to-day" he con-
tinued. "Many otherwise respectable
people will steal a dog if they can get
the chance. Summer is the harvest
time of the dog-thief, because every
body in fashionable quarters, where the
most valuable dogs are to be found, is
away, and many of them leave their
dogs at home. There are many ways OF
stealing dogs, among which the hand
kerchief trick is regarded as the best.
You know how asaf9tlda Will attract a
pigeon. There is a chemical that-has
the same effect on dogs. The thief sat
urates a handkerchief with the drug,
and, with a companion, goes into a fash
ionable n~eighborhood, and watches for
pugs and other valuable pets. The
dogs will follow the handkerchief at
once. That's easy enough.
THE HANDKERCHIEF TRICK SUCCEEDS.
1.-THE handkerchief man walks on
while his companion follows and looks
after the dogs. When the pair of thieves
arrive at their headquarters the dogs
are gathered in. They are then sold to
that class of dealers who ask no CUES
tons as to where they came from or
how they were obtained. When the
owner of a valuable dog misses his pet
the first thing done is to complain at
police headquarters. They expect US to
find the dogs at once. Ii the dogs are
not sold the thieves wait to see an adj
vertisement in the papers. If the owner
doesn't advertise within a reasonable
time the thief sells. There are plenty
of mel in this city who make a good
living stealing dogs. They work in
pairs and have regular headquarters.
DOG-STEALING AS A BUSINESS.
''It's a business, and no one but an
experienced hand ought to try it. L
knew two postal clerks who picked up
two fine bred dogs the other day. The
clerks slept in the pOstoffice dormitory,
waiting for All early call to POttsville
and Bethlehem. Some ofatheir compan-
ions put up a job on them. They SUM
bered with the dogs tied to their wrists.
Two of their fellow clerks cut the
strings, and when the wicked clerks
awoke the dogs were nowhere to be
found.
There are more dogs in this city
than in any other big city in the coun-
try. That's why we have so many dog
thieves here. They appear to be a nat
ural product of Philadelphia. Com
plants have been pouring into head
quarters about the number of dogs
stolen this summer. In the section
bounded by Broad and Twentieth,
Chestnut and Spruce streets. the dog
thief has had a bonanza. Most of the
wealthy residents are Summermg.
There are a greatmany thousand dollars
in dog flesh in that section, and the dog
stealers have been getting in their work
there, and the police are unable to catch
them"

THE RAILROAD COLLISION.
The Responsibility 10 be Fixed by
au EnyehtiRatipu.

NA
The railroad accident near Claymont,
yesterday week was the chief source OF local
gossip afterward and all who read the &C.
count OF the accident expressed surprise
at the miraculous escape from instant
death of the men penned up In the caboose.
Like all other accidents on this road II Will
receive u searching investigation from
Superintendent Garter and the RESPONSE
bility placed. The railroad men themselves
seem Inclined to blame Engineer Legg
solely for the catastrophe although eye
witnesses differ as to the speed AZ which
the engine was moving.
There is no doubt that Engineer Legg
knew that the workmen's train was ahead
Of him, as he frankly admitted 1t imme.
diately after the accident. Caution signals
at Linwood and Claymont block signals
also Informed him Of that fact. Whether,
as he says, that the engine did not work
right when he tried to stop her, will be
ELECTED at the official Investigation. No
doubt the tracks were slippery, and It IL
possible that he did not discern the caboose
through the mist until II was too late 10
avert the impending catastrophe.
All OF the Injured are doing us we'll as
can be expected and no reports OF deaths
have yet been received. The disabled en-

PEACHES IN CONNECTICUT.
After 80 Years. Cessation the Fruit
FlOtrisles Again.


A New Haven dispatch says: The pecu-
liar conditions which for upward OF 80
years made 1t impossible to raise peaches
In Connecticut have vanished, and the
culture OF this fruit has again become a
large and important industry in Connecti-
cut. Scientists would give great deal to
know what those conditions were and what
led them to disappear. Fifty years ago the
peach was rs easily grown here as any
other fruit; the tree was as henlthy and
hardy as the apple or pear, and as unlver-
sal. The fruit was so plenty that 1t was fed
to the swine. But suddenly there came
reverse In peach growing and in few
years the fruit IN New England, and espe-
cially In Connecticut, became almost ex-
tinct, and the power OF reproduction was
lost. Experiment has exhausted all the
reasonable means OF solving the peach
problem and left II unsOlved. The mys-
terious scourge, whether In the soil or the
air, has spent its force and passed away,
leaving no definite clue to Its origin be.

The crop that is now being gathered In
Connecticut ia so large and fine that II
promises ample remuneration for the losses
among growers of the last 10 years. The
largest peach orchards now In the state are
not over five years old. They are ut Berlin,
Deep River ind South Glastonbury. Prob
ably $4,000 baskets OF line fruit arc being
harvested In Berlin alone. The orchards
lie along the track Of the Consolidated
road, and cars are left daily on a side tract
In anticipation of the enormous demand
for transportation. A train Is sent every
day to Boston. Three hundred teams are
at work In tho orchards where the fruit is
being picked. Six hundred and fifty
bushels of fruit were harvested In one day.
This IL without doubt the largest amount
of peaches ever picked In Connecticut In
one day, and shows Row important the
peach has again become among the fruits
