A BURGLAR AT SIXTEEN,
kntfe Desmond Confssses to n Long List O
.s'ls Petty Crimos.

Kntfe Desmond Confssses to n Long List Of
H5. Petty Crimos.
BosroS, May e5.-A lG.ycar old girl
named Katie Desmond, with half a
dozen aliases, has confessed to long
list OF burslaries in Boston, Cambridge,
Chelsea and somerville. For six months
the police Of these places have been
mysti6ed by numerous petty house
breaking jobs, but they were unable to
get any trace Of the criminal. The ar
ticles stolen were never very valuable,
and it looked as though the thief, after
entering house, snatched the first
thing that was in reach. To-day, Miss
Desmond was detected in the act OF en-
tering private house in Chelsea, and
was caught after long chase. She con-
fessed to Il astartling career OF crime.
Her mother has thought she was
working for R. II. White x Co. for the
past six months, and this belief was
strengthened by the fact that every Sat-
urday night Katie gave her So so,
which she claimed was her wages, but
instead Of working the girl devoted her
time to housebreaking. She took what
ever she thought could be pawned
easily, and did not try to ranaaci the
houses. She said she had received
81 900 in all for goods she had stolen
and pawncd. The police have received
II gold watches, % gold rings and big
number Of silver and gold bangles. She
stole pocketbooks by the score, and
threw them away after rilling them. .

CHICAGO, May 25.-An officer Friday

In the massacre OF May 4, 1886, whatap
pcared to be pieco Of rope, which was
in reality fuse leading to a can which
the astonished officer found lying against
the monument. The eau was about
twelve inches long and four inches Ia
diameter, Tho vessel was evidently full
OF some substance and weighed about
ten pounds. In the top OF the can was a
small hole about three eighths ofan inch
in size, from which he pulled the rope.
Beside the can lay several pieces Of the
string, which crumbled beneath the
touch. 1t was the fuse. The powder
within had burned out, leaving the ont.
er covering intact, but very brittle. The
faae was In dozen pieces and had been
soaked with kerosene. 4fi... ". 4
On the step approaching the base OF
tho statue was found an unlichted piece

tried with fire flashed readily. The cap
on the uplighted piece Of fuse is PIE.
cisely like the one that Lingg used in
taking his own life. The charge OF
dynamite. according 10 the police, was
enough to blow up several blocks. The
machine was probably placed there
early this morning, and the rain ex.iu-
guished tho burning fuse. An explo.
sion would have made terrible havoc.
With street cars frequently passing 80
close, too, the loss OF life would have
been great. The can with its dreaded
contents and pieces Of burned fuse were
turned over to Central officers, who
took 1t to the Etna Powder Colupany's
office, where an expert made an eaami.

fifty per cent Of which was nitro.

The fuse was Of the kind ordinarily

detailed to find out the authors OF the

Dresses Taken In by the Police.
NEw YonK, May 25.-The police last
night captured en- individual who had
gained for himself the title Of "Jack, the
ink.sliuger." His mania has been to
throw ink on the dresses Of ladies as
they walked along the streets. He has
been operating both in this city and
Brooklyn, and during the past few
months has ruined many valuable
dresses. What he gained by his strange
actions is not apparent, aud the pre-.
sumption Is that the man is a mono
maniac. A.quanity Of ink was found in
his pockets, and he was arrested as he
was evidently preparing TO throw the
fluid over the dress OF a lady whom he
was following. He gave his name as
John Connors, OF No. 443 West Fifty.

a Market OPENED for Oleou,arearin,
Through the Original Package scl,erlc.
CHICAGO, May %. - The "origina
package" question is nronsing Srea
interest among tho produce men o.
this city and tho country at large
owing TO the effect lis settlement
will have upon dairy interests. It Is
claimed by the dairymen that olcomar.
garine manufacturers can take advan.
tnge OF the decision and ship their imi.
tatlon butter into Now York and other
States in defiance OF existing lawe,
which, with certain conditions, prohibit
It's sale, thus injuring greatly the pro.
dueers OF the genuine product. The
dairymen, 1t is claimed, do business on
so slender margin US to make competi.
ton with oleomurgarine manufacturers
impossible. Six months' application Of
the original package decision TO the
oleomargarine Trade would, 1t is asserted,
ruin two.thirds Of tho dairymen now
doing business in the State OF New York,
ana the same interest in other States
would suffer equally. 1.,I
Such being the case, the National
Dairymen'a Association has determined
to take the matter in hand make iipht
against "original packages" Of ali kinds.
Accordingly, the Legislative Committee
OF the association has arranged to hold a
meeting early in June, when plans for
an ac1iVe campaign will be arranged. :

Proposition to Issue Fifteen Millions More
Common In Order to Acquire Addit,onnl
Terminal Facilities. -.
New York, May 25.-The recent, ru
mors about sale OF a controlling interest
in the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad have
been verified. A person intimately con.
nected with the company said to-day
that they had arisen probably from the
fact that new issue Of Sl5,OO0,O 900 com.
mon stock was contemplated. He said
that efforts had recently been made Ia
form syndicate for the purpose OF this
issue, and that they were the only basis
for the other rumors. va
' The new stock will be Issued ior the
purpose OF paying the floating debt OF
the company and acquiring additional
terminal facilities at different points on
the line. The Improvements are e1.
pected to cost about $4,000, 900, and the
Directors are discussing the advisabiIity
OF issuing common stock. 1t was ex.
pected at one time that small issue ol
terminal bonds, with the net earnings,
would be sufficient to meet the expense,
but the present plan is now considered
the better one. The opposition OF the
Garrett interests to m increase in the
share capital has been withdrawn, it il
said, and favorable action on the pro.
posed plan, when it is completed, is
regarded as certain. W.

Kemrnler's Fate Is Certain, but It Can bo
Postponed on TcchuIcalitics.
WAsulSaToN, D. G., May 25.-Al-
though the Supreme Court decided
against Kemmler on all constitutional
questions which it is thought can be
raised in his case, tits not absolutely
certain that the court has heard the last
of the case. 1t is the general opinion
that the decision would finally settle the
matter, and all that would remain to be
done would be the pro forma vacation
of the order Of Judge Wallace and the
resentencing OF kemmler. 4
It may be that counsel will stop here
and not further prolong what, in view
Of the decision, must be regarded as a
hopeless case so far as the Supreme
Court is concerned. But it is still posi-
bio to delay the day Of execution until
next autumn, at least, by bringing an-
other appeal to the Supreme Court. RI
