"I want a watchl'
The speaker was well-dressed lady. The
scene was the pawnbroking establishment
of S. A. Sampson, on Ohio street, Allie
gheny. Time, last evening.
''What kind?" asked the attendant
"Show me your gold Ones"
A tray containing varied assortment of
gold time-keepers was shown her.
"No, don't want that kind" said the
woman. Haven't you any with bird on
the case, and a ring around it?'
"No," replied the clerk, I'VE haven't any
of that kind"
The woman turned away. As she passed
out the door, Mr.. Sampson looked after her
and remarked to a DISPATCH reporter:
"There goes woman who is trying to be her
own detective We meet a great many Of
that class of people. They come here, pretend
thew want to buy something, and ask to see
the goods, expectinglthat they will find the
article that has been stolen from them or is
missing.
MAKE A MISTAKE.
"Thev practice deception, and there they
make a mistake. 1t would he much better
if they came right out with a straightior-
ward statement that they had lost certain
article, and W would like to see If we had it
in the store. We would gladly inform
them if the article was handled by us. It
is that class who hold the loan Offices in bad
repute, and seem to think that we are not
doing legitimate business"
Chow is trade now?"
''Our custom has fallen off somewhat since
gam bling has been on the decrease in this
community. Sports patronize pawn brokers
more freely than anyone else. Milestones
are unsociable things, because you never
find two of them together, but gamblers are
generally as far removed from money as the
east is from the west. Easy come, easy 60,
you know.
USED TO BE DIFFERENT.
81 recollect the time in Pittsburg when
sports would pledge the same watch or ring
half-a-dozen times a day. II seems almost
incredible, but that used to be a common
circumstance. Now all that has stopped. 1
used to transact business with wealty Pitts
burger who is well known in that city. He
was a spendthrift. He Kept a standing ac-
count with large jewelry establishment,
and when he wanted to make a raise be
would purchase jewels on trust,
and then take them around the
corner to pawn them. Theatrical people
and sporting men who have business trans
actions with us are, as a rule, the most
superstitious characters on the face of the
globe. They will come in and ask for a
certain clerk to wait on them. because they
were favored by some particular luck when

other party. Then there is the man who o.

the gambling element has almost entirely

Beggs & Son, of Allegheny, VIII Continue
With Their Present Men.
Frederick Killmann, agent of the Granite
Cutters National Union, said last night
that Messrs. Beggs & Son, of Allegheny,
who had been reported as willing to make
their shop a union establishment, had
changed their minds and would continue to
work non-union. The work of the firm,
says Mr.. Killmann, is chiefly monumental
and cemetery, and is not handled by
union granite settlers, as it would be were
they preparing building work. The men
employed in the shop are mostly Italians or
other foreigners. The shop, he says, is the
only one in the trade in Pennsylvania en-
ploying non-union hands.
Mr.. Killman remarked that there was $50
worth OF prepared granite work imported
to the city for the $40 worth wrought here.
Contractors have admitted to him that work
finished after being placed in the building
cost about 40 per cent more than if it had
been previously prepared in the shop.

Charles F. Degelman escaped from Nor
ganza yesterday. He lives at 361 Cedar
avenue, Bloomfield, and is big, muscular
boy. The police were notified and Detec-

They searched high and low, far and near,
but never trace of the boy could they find.
Detective Bendel walked in and found
the boy asleep in an clubhouse. The boy had

tectiyes walking all over h i'm while looking
for him, and warmly welcomed the man from
the regular force The boy is in the Central

The Pawnbrokers Render Valuable Assist
ance to the Police.
The pawnbrokers and the police work
hand in hand in the detection of crime.
The places are connected with the police
headquarters, and it is not many minutes
after suspicious looking man tries to raise
some money on a valuable article until q
couple of detectives are at his side. When
a house is robbed list Of the articles stolen
are printed and sent to the pawnbrokers,
and when any of them are presented as
pledges, the police are at once notified.
Many stolen articles are recovered through
the pawnbrokers. A few days ago a man
in Springfield, ILL.,, wrote to Inspector Nc
Aleese, describing valuable watch he had
lost. Last night the Inspector expressed
the timepiece to its owner. 1t had been re-
covered at a pawnshop.

W. B. Chambers, late Deputy United
States Marshal, now candidate for County
Treasurer in Washington county on the
Democratic ticket, was in the city yesterday.
In speaking of political affairs in his county
Mr.. Chambers said: "Our party is thor
-oughly united, while our friends of the
opposition have bitter war on hands. The
Wallace Democrats are all for Pattison and
were from the moment of his nomination.
Washington county is large and wealthy
agricultural county, you know, and many
of the Republican farmers will vote for
Pattison. Then the large influx of voters
interested in the oil development are unani-
mously opposed to Delamater on account OF
his Standard Oil Company affiliations and
his record in opposition to the Billingsly
bill.
every Democrat in the county and many
Republicans will vote for Pattison. and II
the same work is done throughout the State
Pattison is sure to be elected"

Humane Agent Dean exhibited heavy

"This is the chain that the eolored boy,
Swayne, wore locked about his neck, placed
there by his mother, with the other end

boy any other way, but at the hearing to-

"I took charge of the boy. and took him
to Tom Druitt's Newsboys' Home, where he

soon find something for him to do. You

ism that we have here"

changed was this.
"a cranky old lawyer got on a crowded
train at Altoona. He at once started an
auction, and bought in the seat OF the lowest
bidder. He paid the money and took re-
ceipt. When he got to Philadelphia he laid
down his receipt at the company's Office and
demanded the money. He said that was
what he had to pay for sitting down. The
officers did not dispute the matter, but all
the tickets were changed to read good for

Good for 1900 Majority.
Prothonotary John A. Scott, Indiana
county's leading Republican, was in Pitts
burg yesterday visiting his brother, DR..
William M. Scott of the East End. He
predicts a good majority for Delamater in
his county despite the bitter fight there. In
speaking of the situation he said:
1--WE always have Republican majority
of 2, 700 in Indiana county, and this year
we can count on at least 1000 of majority
for Delamster. The people who conducted
the fight there against Delamater are not
doing anything now. 1 don't believe much
in the talk of Republicans voting for Patti
son. The Farmers League may oppose the
Republican nominee, but I don't believe
when it comes to voting they will put in a
Democratic ballot"
