A CLEVER CAPTURE.
Fish-Hooks Used as a Trap for Londc

Ffsh-Hooks Used as a Trap for London
Pickpocket.
IL know" said detective who had been
to Europe and passed some time in the So
ciety Of London detectives, "how a pick
pocket was once arrested without his cap
tor seeing his prisoners face before he got
to the lookup, and without any one putting
hand on him. 1t happened this way: A
detective who was detailed to gatherings,
weddings, the Houses of Parliament, West
minister Abbey and other public places,
often ran across & why little man who, he
discovered, had no business where he was
seen. and did nothing for living.
Coincdental with the mans visit to
crowded places were complaints of lar
cenies of articles that were carried in the
pockets Of tails OF cOats, and especially silk
handkerchiets. The detectives suspected
the little wlry man, but he evidently had
more than one confederate to pass what
was stolen so as to be clean for the
officer who was watching him, and who was
nettled at reproof from his superior officers
for negligence in not discovering the pick
pocket, had him arrested twice by other
officers and shaken down without finding
any stolen goods in his possession.
Strange officers were used to make the
arrests in order that the suspected man
might not become familiar with the princi-
pal detectives face, as he determined to
get him by hook or by crook. Now,
don't mean this for pun, but it came out
that way The detective belonged 10 one
of the many fishing clubs that abound in
London, and was familiar with tackle.
''Procuring four dozen unsneled hooks of
the size and strength used here for black
fish, some flax thread and needle, he
passed an afternoon in turning the tail
pockets of an 0ld-faShioned frock-coat into
thef-trap. The hooks were ringed and
with the needle were sewed bent out just
inside the pocket, permitting q hand to
enter, but preventing its withdrawal He
knew of book sale that would be largely
attended at the east end of the Strand, and
made up carefully for 1t, so that when he
left home he was a pleasant-faced old gobe-
mouche.
AT the book sale he took care to be as
vacuous and unmindfu of his surroundings
as possible, but noted the presence of the
suspect and waited calmly for a bite. 1t
came. There was tug at his coat and
bitter oath, and he knew that his mans
hand was seized by the hooks, and that he
would not venture to risk the agony that
tearing away forcibly would infict. So he
said quietly: If you follow me our surgeon
will relieve vou,' and attempted to walk to
Scotland Yard, half mile away, the
trapped thief following with his hand in
the detectives pocket.
But such large crowd gathered that the
detective had to take cab, and he landed
the man safely in the detectives office. BE
was held by four of the hooks, and the barbS
had to be cut off before they were extracted.
The thief confessed and went to prison for a
short term, but the Scotland Yard authori-
ties frowned on the detectives method, and
prohibited any further experiments of the
sort for fear the newspapers would de-
nounce the expedient as cruel. But dead
ler trap could not be baited for ely
faker IN. Y. Times.

sent for his chief telegraph operator, Robert
Steward explained to him the English bluck
system of signaling which was used extern

him to experiment, with the view OF adopt
ing a system of signals by which trains
could be notified that the track to a certain
point ahead was clear.
After some experiments Mr.. Steward put
a system of signals in operation between
Trenton and KensingtOn. Pa, distance of
twenty-five miles, ana this was the first
block system introduced in the United
States. The distance between the two points
mentioned was divided into seven block
stations, and record of the trains was kept
on board punctured with holes, by insert
ing pin in the hole representing the section
which the train had entered, and upon word
being received from the next station that
the train had passed the pin was withdrawn.
The operators along the line used the
regular Morse instrument, and called up the
next station in the direction in which the
train was "in," meaning that such train was
