DEEPER IN THE TOLLS.

More Robberies Unearihed by Detectives
Legless Man - Another Information
Against HIm-Arrest of an AccompIice.
New cases have been developed with
which Andrew Gangwisch, the legless man.
is connected. Since his arrest on the charge
of robbing Thomas Dugan's house on Lib
erty street, the police have hunted down
other robberies. Recently the house of Mrs.
Virginia Partridge, at 1880 Penn avenue,
was entered and valuables, including gold
watch, were stolen.
Detectives Fitzgerald, Robinson and
Shore have been working on the matter,
and yesterday they succeeded in solving the
mysteries of the robberies and placing the
blame where it properly belongs. The de-
tectives visited Gallinger's pawnshop, and
the proprietor, after hearing some of the
particulars, recalled the fact that watch
had been found at his place some time ago.
This watch was produced and found to be
the one stolen from Mrs. Partridge.
Mr.. Gallinger informed the officers that
young man named D. J. Townsend had
pawned the watch. The officers soon found
d. j. Townsend and landed him in the
Central station. The prisoner when ques-
toned stated that he got the watch from
Andrew Gangwisch, and at the same time he
informed the officers that lot of jewelry
was hidden in stable in Spring alley, near
Twelfth street.
The detectives visited the place and sue
ceeded in finding number of gold rings,
also fine pair Of opera glasses which were
stolen from the house Of Mr.. Dugan. The
result of this was that second information
for burglary was lodged against Gsngwisch,
and also against Townsend for receiving
stolen goods.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.I
COLUMBUS, August 23.-There were SEN
sational developments to-day in the case of
Isaac Smith, the Pike county murderer,
confined In the penitentiary annex and one
of the four men to be executed next Thurs
day night.
For some time it has been known he was
carrying on correspondence with woman
outside, supposed to be his cousin. The
letters recently have grown affectionate and
loving. The officials set about to discover
the identity of the woman, and found her to
be Mrs. Amelia Baeder, the wife OF Ger
man saloon keeper. She had been coming
to the penitentisry, for the past three
months, in company with Mrs. Leuth,
mother of Otto Leuth, the Cleveland boy
murderer, who is to be executed Thursday
next
Mrs. Baeder became smitten with Smith.
Since she was refused admission q few days
since a number of the letters have been in
tercepted. In one of them she unfolds q
conspiracy to secure the release of Smith,
when they would get rid of her husband and
she would install Smith in the management
of her business. 1t is known she has given
500 or more to aid in securing commuta-
tion of sentence for Smith, though she
claims to only have contributed $40.
Smith has been recommended by the
Board of Pardons for commutation, but the
Governor has taken no action in his case.
1t is conceded the developments of to-day
will result in no action in his case, and he
will hang with the other four.

II. P. Palmer, q son of Arthur Palmer,
the scenic artist, is young man who is
probably a natural born electrician. He is
now about 20 years old and has been work
ing with electricity from childhood. He
has invented, he thinks, a plan to do away
with the overhead wires in electric street
railroads. Superintendent Morris Mead
and Mr.. Clark, of the Duquesne Traction
road, have examined his drawings, and he
states that they can give no reason why his
scheme should not work.
Part of the plan consists Of series Of
boxes that are arranged along the street and
are made level with the roadway These
boxes will be about 1S inches long, and will
be made of material that won't cost much.
Fastened to the bottom of the ear, either
on the axles or truck, is bar rod the length
of the car. The front of this rod has
movable point about two feet long and
hinged to the rod. To this point is attached
a lever which extends to the end of the rod.
Buried in the ground with their tops
exposed are boxes the length of the car
apart, which will be about 80 feet. All along
the track the tops of these boxes have an arm
or lever in the shape of an L, which is
hinged to the top of the box. Fastened to
this hinge and extending into the box is
strip which moves over and presses into con-
tact strips fastened inside Of the boxes.
When the boxes are not in use, that is so to
speak, when the car is not passing over them,
the strip is not in contact with the strip
to which the cable is fastened, but when the
car passes over the boxes tine point is low
cred by the end of the lever running along
the bar. The result of this action is that
the lever is raised into an inclined posi-
ton, and this pushes the strips fastened to
it into the contact points arranged in the
box.
Associated with young Palmer is j. r.
Conner. The boys have applied for
patent. and are having made a model of
their ideas.

Trngic Fate Of the Father of Once Famous
Actress.


Actress.
rBY DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.1
VIENNA, August 23.-Ten years ago all
Vienna was raving over young and gifted
actress named Josephine Wesseley who, al
though only daughter of a tradesmau, had
made her way to fame in leading Shake
spearian parts and was one of the orna-
meuts of the Imperial Theater. She led
modest and retired life, devoting herself to
her family, enabling her father to establish
two large places of business. She died at
the age Of q, universally regretted, and her
portrait still hangs in the Burg Theater,
There was a great commotion to-day in the
city when it was noised about that her faith
er had died most awful death. Last night
he was busy in his cellar with q servant
moving cask which contained sulphur.
The servant held a candle too near the cask
and an explosion took place, the clothes of
both men caught fire in an instant, and the
cellar was filled with dense smoke. The
servant managed to find his way to the
door, but Wessely, in maddening torture,
lost his way, and when the neighbors rushed
in he was found in dark corner screaming
in agony. and terribly burned. He was
taken to the hospital and placed in cold
water bath and the pain was relieved. Dur
ing the night the children came and Wes-
sely, with the help of the doctors. wrote his
will on porcelain slate under water and
then died.

BRIGANDs IN SOCIETY.
An American Consul Threatened for Stating
Unpleasant Truths.

An American Consul Threatened for Stating
Unpleasant Truths.
.rBr CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.1
LONDON, August 23.-The storm caused
at Palermo by Consul Carroll's warning to
American tourists against the psrils Of
travel in Sicily has not yet subsidized. The
Consul has been the object of the grossest
abuse and has been threatened and de-
nounced with such violence that it is a
wonder his life has not been attempted, es-
pecially as agents of the brigands swarm in
Palermo and other towns. Yet, Mr.. Carroll
could furnish abundant evidence from the
columns of the very newspapers which have
villifed him in proof of his statements.
Outside the towns no well-to-do traveller
is safe from the brigands. At the present
moment several persons are held for ransom,
and the prison at Palermo holds a score or
more of men ARRESTED on suspicion of COM
plicity with the malefactors. Many patriotic
Sicilians hold the belief that the only eff
cient way to remedy the present deplorable
state of things is to establish martial law in
the island and to have it administered for a
term of years by officers of nerve and discre-
ton.
