TRAIN WRECKED AT ALBUQUERQUE.
California Express Leaves the Track
Engineer Killed.


Engineer Killed.
ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, Sept. A bad
railroad wreck happened yesterday after
noon in the Atlantic & Pacific yards. The
passenger train from California was two
hours behind time. A switch engine was
moving some cars. and after leaving the
main line left the switch open. proceeding
up the siding several hundred yards. Just
then the passenger train whistled. and the
engineer of the switch engine responded
by whistling Down brakes"
1t was too late to prevent q collision.
The passenger engine passed into the sid
ing. The baggage coach jumped the track,
and the coaches, tourist sleeper and Pull
man followed. They were dragged along
the ties 400 yards, when the tender also
jumped the track.
Fred Kaufman, the engineer, attempted
to leap from his engine to fiat water-tank
car, but missed his footing and fell TO the
ground. being caught between the tender
and the iron rail. At this juncture the
locomotive came to a halt, and the I'M
fortunate man was extricatcd. He was
fatally crushed.
All of the coaches were badly damaged,
and an old lady had an arm broken. The
escape of Express Messenger Cohler ap-
pears miraculous. His car was badly
wrecked, and boxes and trunks few in all
directions, yet he avoided all of them.
Fireman Charles Keaggy remained on the
engine and was not hurt.

his duty, he receives the Inunifcent allow

docked for every day he is not able to per-
form the service demanded With city
containing more than million souls, COW
ering more than 129 square miles of terri
tory, with almost 1900 miles of public
streets and alleys to be patrolled and near
ly 80 miles of river front to be guarded,
the total number of men employed in the
bureau of police for patrol duty is ,425.
The present efficiency Of the police force
has been reached by gradual stages, the
first attempt to reduce the service to any
thing like system being begun in 1856.
Prior to the act of consolidation, as it is
popularity known, by which the whole
county of Philadelphia was included with
in the city limits, the territory was divided
into numerous towns and villages, each
with it's own rules and regulations and
each having its own independent constab-
ulary, whose powers were prescribed by
the limits of their particular BALL wick

area of two square miles and was bounded
by Vine street on the north, South street
on the south and the Delaware and Schuyl-
xiii rivers on the east and west respect
lively.
The only police protection afforded by
the authorities consisted of constables,
who in the city proper were appointed by
the mayor and councils, and in the dis
tricts by the boards of commissioners. In
the old city and districts night watchmen
were appointed whose duty it was to pa
troll the streets, see that the lamps were
lighted and to call the hour and the con-
diticn of the weather at the street corners.
Under these arrangements, by which an
officer could only arrest a person within
the boundaries Of his own particular vii
lage or district, the criminal classes be-
came turbulent and riots and robbery were
an every day occurrence.
On the 1st of January, 1858, remedy
was applied by the appointment of a state
police, under the direction of a marshal,
with the power to act in any portion of the
county. This was followed by the act of
consolidation, when the management and
control OF the police force was placed in

He made private settlement on her for

never gave birth.
Like a romance runs the story Of Maria
Martel D'Osorio, Countess OF Torres Cab
rara, Spain. This beautiful creature sud
denly Appeared in Paris in 1856, and in a
short time squandered over $4,000 in riot
Gus living. Her story was that her guard
ian stopped her remittances, as she was
not of age. Being forced to ozEtail her ex-
penses, she quilted the gay French capital
and went to London. Here In some way
she was admitted TO very good society, and
on one occasion visited in company with
some English ladies number of shops,
where she gave an immense order for silk
stockings, dainty hose and valuable laces,
directing that her coronet be embroidered
on each piece.
when the goods were delivered to her
she hypothetical them with her pawn
broker and then with her husband, a
young Spaniard whom she had met in Lon
don, fed to New York. She swindled him
soon, causing him to draw on his parents
for $4,000 by telling MIN she would have
vast sum Of money from her estates in
Spain on attaining her majority. While
in this city she swindled shopkeepers to
the tune of $4,000 and then suddenly left
for Mexico.
But the queen of all the confidence wo-
men is Mrs. Ellen Peck. Her schemes have
been on large scale, and have nearly al
ways Melted her lsrgesums OF money. She
has often been arrested, but has only once
been punished. She was released from the
penitentiary in February, 1889. One of her
favorite methods is to represent that she
has large tracts of timber lands in the
south, and that it is only the lack of ready
money that keeps her from working these
lands and realizing great fortune.
''She would advertise in the papers for
women with a capital of $1,000, stating
that the sum could be trebled in ninety
days by investing it in her southern lands.
She duped Samuel PinEer, a wealthy pill
manufacturer, to the amount of 81, 100; she
swindled firm Of dry goods dealers out of
goods valued at s., 800; she duped a wealthy
Cuban living mere TO the amount Of $12, 900;
she obtained 81, 900 worth of diamonds
from John D. Grady, diamond broker on
Broadway, and she got $4,000 from B. T.

pretense that she was detective and could
secure the return to BaIobitt of large sum
of money that was stolen from him. She

The Maine hens, according to a story that
comes from Lewiston, would seem to be
possessed of more than henlike generosity.
A little girl has number that she feeds

are timid. Lately one of the former ones,

where. under shelter of the other hens, the
timid one could eat her corn without fear,
and this has constantly been re-enacted.

the hands of the mayor. The first attempt
was then made toward the adoption of a
uniform, the police being required to wear
an oil cloth cover on their hats. Two years
later, however, full uniform was fixed
upon for street duty, and for the first time
the city was in possession of aforce equipped
for service.
From this time the service continued to
steadily improve, new rules and methods
being adopted from time to time until the
present standard of effectiveness was at
tanned. The bureau Is now subject to
civil service rules, and great care is exer-
cised in the selection of the men. To be-
come member OF the force the applicant
must make his application in writing, and
must have the Endorsement of two or
more reputable citizens as to his character.
He is then subjected TO a civil service eI-
animation, and if he reaches satisfactory
average he is appointed sub" He IS
then subject to duty whenever called upon
and his actions are closely watched. When
he is appointed be is furnished with a
manual containing a digest of the laws
relating to the duties Of policeman, and
before he is appointed regular" he is re-
quired TO pass critical examination upon
the matters contained in the little book
If this IS satisfactory and no complaints
have been entered against him he stands
a chance of promotion when vacancy
occurs.

A much needed Improvement which has
been receiving attention during the present
administration is securing better accom-
nodations for the men. The old station
houses are being gradually abandoned. and
new buildings with all modern conven-
fences are being erected in their stead as
rapidly as councils can be prevailed upon
to furnish the money. The new house

wisdom of his choice.
