SILKS, VELVETs AND LAcEs.

The Wife of q Trainman Does an Immense
Business in Stolen Goods.
. PHILADELPHIA, March 3.-Since last
June the wife of a Reading railroad
trainman has proba bly, sold more valu
able silks, laces and velvets than the
richest lady in the land has purchased
in the same time. She was the medium
through which an organized gang of
train robbers in the roads service dis
posed of their wholesale plumber. Part
of the gang are under arrest and will
have final hearing at Doyiestown to-
morrow.
For months past complaints had been
made to the officials of numerous thefts
of merchandise from freight cars and
claims presented to the company for the
loss of clothes, velvet, silks, hosiery,
ETC., lost in transit over the road. The
case was placed in the hands of Chief
John G. O'Brien of the Readings
special officers. The clews were traced
to the trains on the North Pennsy
branch and the thefts located as taking
place in Bucks county from trains be-
tween New York and Philadelphia.
Friday morning Lewis Hansen and
William Coyle and Abraham Kulp,
brakemen, were arrested and taken to
Doylestown and given a preliminary
hearing and bound over for further
hearing tomorrow. The value of the
goods taken viii amount to many
thousands of dollars.

THE celebration of Washington S
birthday by the students Of Knox col
lege, at Galesburg, ILL.,, began at mid
night when large band of ''preps''
gained the top of the college, barricaded
the doors behind them, fastened their
yellow banner to the cupola staff and
rang the bell. The freshmen charged,
and until long after daylight a noisy and
fierce demonstration prevailed. The
freshmen, by smashing in the doors
with sledge hammer, managed to get
past all of the barricades but the last
which effectually barred their way.
Five of the ''preps" were captured and
bound hand and foot.

New ORLEANS, March 3.-The testi-
mony elected in the Hennessy case on
yesterday seems to have been quite as
startling to the prisoners as it was to
theopublic. When the prisoners were
brought to the bar, Manuel Polletz, one
of the men who had been identified as
doing the actual shooting, was found to
be greatly excited. His face had yell
lowish hue and his black piercing eyes
were glittering like two sparks. He
talked in a loud tone of voice in his
native language and refused to take his
seat. He was finally forced into his
chair by two deputies. He arose again
and addressed the judge in rapid tones
He grew more excited in manner and
finally Matranga was requested by the
court to ask him what was the matter.
Polietz answered in Sicilian and said
that he wanted an interpreter, as he de.
sired to say something to the court.
This announcement created intense eX-
element, not only among the specta-
tors in the court room, but among the
prisoners, who under the steady gaze of
their lawyers refrained from visibly
showing whatever agitation they might
have felt. There being no interpreter
in the court one had to be sent for.
Meantime consultation between coun-
sci was held.
When the interpreter arrived Judge
Baker ordered Polietz to be taken into
his private office, and himself, the in
terpreter and counsel for both sides fol-
lowed, and whatever Polietz had to say
was said in private. When the party
re-entered the court room Polietz was
CHASTITY pale. He was evidently fright
ened, and whatever he had said evil
IDENTIFY affected him.
After his honor had taken his seat on
the bench Mr.. Semmes, of counsel for
the defense, announced that they could
no longer represent Polietz.
The court thereupon appointed coun-
sci to defend Polietz.
When the prisoners were remanded
back to the dock Polietz was afraid to
walk with them. He also did not want
to go into the same room with the
others, but he was assured by the sheriff
that no harm would befall him. He
went in very reluctantly, however.
Polietz is said to claim that he was
not present at the shooting, but knew
of the conspiracy and the causes that
led to it. The men who did the shooting
were only TOOLS, une real LEADERS anu III
stigators not appearing on the scene.
He did not give the names of the lead
ers, but is said to have implicated some
of the accused and some Italians not
yet arrested as participants. Last night
he was confined in a separate part of
the prison and in separate dock from
the others at his own request.
James Poole swore that he went out
Girod street half square behind the
chief and plainly saw the killing. He
could not identify the parties under the
shed, but he saw Marchesi jump into
the street and fire at Hennessy while
he saw Scaffedi at the corner also firing
in the same direction. He did not know
the men by name, but picked them out
from the accused and was positive in
