In the Atlantic states train of
twenty cars is called a long one. BY
actual count there were 1853 cars on
one of the trains hauled over theOma-

While the municipal court was in
session few days ago, two men came
in, without taking off their hats
or removing cigars from their mouths
out of respect for the court. They
were, however, kindly but firmly in

unless they at once obeyed the rules
they would be brought before the
Judge and fined for contempt.

record was being made. Not until a
professional brother drew his atten-
tion did he realize the state of affairs.
During the rest of the trial his face
was the color of a crimson rose.

yolved in anyof these cases. Nor does 1t
seem to me that they are cases in which,
II the law were found to be invalid in
that particular, it would necessarily be
invalid under the decisions Of this
court in its entirety. My understand.
ing Is that the decisions not only Of
this court, but generally hold that
whore number OF acts are designated
in the State as constituting particular
crime and to some such acts the legis-
lation is unauthorized, the courts can
not be required TO select out such acts
as are within the authority Of the legis-
lature and enforce the law as to them,
rejecting 1t as to the others.
~ think no decision will be found
which holds that il an act defines differ
ent oGenses and provides for their pun
ishment the fact that as to one OF the
oAenses the legislation was unauthor-
ized, renders the entire legislation in
valid. And SO, il the act defined and
prescribes q punishment for an ofFense,
the fact that it also independently Of
such provision imposes duties on ofli-
GERS which here authorized by the con-
stitution is immaterial. II / am correct
in this discrimination, when the pro-
vision for the punishment Of mailing
unmailable matter is in no way depend.

postoftice officials in relation to such
matters, but each may stand or fall in

Boys who have been Stealing Things for n
Long Time now.
Yesterday Chief of Police Delbrugge
had q conversation with August Hush
rod, who was arrested the day before,
in which Hushrod made quite a con
fession. He said that four months ago
a boy named Henry Peck, and known
as liner, told him that he had broken
into car on the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati
& st. Louis switch, between Seventh
and Eighth streets, and stole lot OF
cakes and caddy OF tobacco. Later
liner opened the tobacco and offered
Hushrod some OF it, which he refused
to take.
On September 10, Hurshrod was upat
Lucy Cotts's near Fifth street, where he
met liner. liner had lot Of copper
wire and some brass which he said he
had gotten at Dunlevy's box factory at
the foot OF Fourth street. He said
Harrison Dunlevy had given him lot
OF brass and copper that was in the
shop. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon
tley went to the box factory together to
look at the stuff, and they took thirteen
pounds OF lead pipe which they sold for
thirty cents at NV. .Beck's foundry. The
stuff was sold.to a young man who did
not ask any questions about where it
came from. They went back at night
and got the remainder OF the junk to
sell in the morning. Just as they were
taking out the last piece, Samuel Vogt,
the watchmen, saw them and caught
Hurshrod, liner making his escape by
running,
On the night OF September l6 liner
broke the seal of car on the track be-
low Eighth street. He wanted Hush.
rod to enter and take some Of the Mail
Pouch tobacco it contained, but he re-
fused. They then boarded the train
and rode TO Golfers, and came back next
Some time ago Joseph Dorgan and
Joseph Cots took two kegs OF beer out
OF car loaded by the schmulbach brew
cry from Panhandle switch and the
next day, with Hushrod and Patsy Cain
and Harry Bennett, they drank the
beer in Mrs. Cotts's shed. Cots claim
ed to know nothing about the theft,
Dub remembered uelpluS W uEAuh heB
OF beer at Mrs. Cottss.
Hushrod said further, that about n
year ago, boy named Henry McCam-
mick and Noah Cots broke the seal on
a car Of machinery ON the Pittsburgh,
Wheeling & Kentucky track and entered
1t. 1t was loaded with machinery and
they took the brass bearings and valves
and oil cups of and hid them, selling
them In small lots till 1t was all gone.
Yesterday McCammiek was taken be-
fore Justice Arkle and committed to
fall charged with stealing lead pipe,
wire and brass from the old box fac
tory, now owned by the West Virginia
China Company. On the examination
Ed Cots said he saw liner take the sack
Of brass from the car as mentioned by
Hushrod.

Avinsgar Salesman locked up as the Fugl-
two from Pittsbureh.


two from Pittsburgh.
Yesterday about noon, Officer Joseph
Conrad saw man on an Island car who,
to Conrad's eye, resembled Fitzsim-
mons, the murderer who made his es-
cape from the county Jail at Pittsburgh,
on Monday. Conrad was so impressed
by what he imagined was a resemblance
between the man and the description of
Fitzsimmons that he boarded the car
and rode over to Wheeling with him.
On the way, Conrad piled him with
questions, all OF which he answered
civilly.
When the man went to leave the car
at Twelfth street, Conrad arrested him
and took him to the public building,
where he was locked up in cell No. l.
A telegram was sent to Pittsburgh ask:
ing that someone come down who could
identity Fitzsimmons. Detective Shore
came down on the 1880 B. & o. train
and went at once to the lookup. The
celldoor was opened and Shore went in:
side and after looking at the man, said
he was not the person wanted.
An INTELLIGENCBR reporter was at the
Jail when Shore arrived. When he
came out he said, shaking his head:
"That's not Fitzsimmons," and putting
one foot in front Of the other, said,
Ellis foot's as long as that. He wears
an eleven shoe. He's got the biggest
foot for a man OF his size in Pennsyl-
vania."
The prisoner says his name is Henry
J. Harris. He is travelling salesman
for the Louisville Cider and Vinegar
Works, OF No. 1921 to 1879 High street,
Louisville, Ky. When he was arrested
he was on his way back from Bridge
port, where he had sold a bill Of goods
to wholesale concern. He has bills
for collection on q number of Wheeling
firms, and has q letter postmarked at
Louisville, September u, which was
sent to him here in care OF s. Baers
Sons. He has none Of the characteris-
tics described in the Fitzsimmons circu-
lar except the size. Fitzsimmons has
small restless eyes, sharp and bright,
while Harris's are large and dull. He
wears No. 81 or Z shoe while Fitzsim-
mons has abnormally large feet. Fitz-
simmons's hair is sprinkled with grey
and he looks older than thirty-tiye,
while Harris has a splendid head OF
black curly hair and no one would take
him TO be thirty years old.
After Shore had looked him over and
decided that he was not the man wanted
the chief was asked what he would do
with Harris, and replied that he'd keep
him and take a look at him in the
