Long Looked For Robbers Caught by Detect

Several detectives of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad made clever capture Satur-
day night of three young men who are thought
to have had hand in number of burglaries
| in Frederick county.
A. X. Williams is the B. & o. station
agent at Evansville. He runs a general store
in conjunction with the station. Saturday
morning when Williams went to his place of
business he found his store had been opened
and robbed during the night. About fifty dol
lars worth of notions were stolen. The case
containing the railroad tickets had also been
opened, but whether any of the tickets were
taken is not yet known.
Williams went to Baltimore and notified
Chief Detective Grammar, who sent several
men to the scene Of the robbery. After a
search the goods were found in corn shock
near Watersvile.
The detectives lay in wait until it was dark.
Three men about o'clock we're surprised by
the officers while taking the goods away.
They proved to be George, Oliver and Moses
Chipley, of Baltimore, ranging from 10 to %
years of age. A visit was paid the house of
Joseph Chipley, father of Oliver and Moses,
and uncle of George Chipley, by the officers,
who hoped to find him in, but he had flown.
The prisoners were taken to Camden Sta
ton Sunday morning, when George Chipley
made confession to Chief Detective Gran
man, He said that Saturday morning, short
ly after midnight, Joe Chipley and himself
went to Williams store, and, while he kept
lookout from neighboring freight car, his I'M
Gle opened the place with keys and rifled it of
a part of its contents. Chipley did not impli-
cate his two cousins in the affair.
For some time past places at Evansville,
Woodbine, Hoods Mills and Watersville have
been Systematically robbed. In every in
stance keys have been used to open the dwell
ings or stores and no violence attempted.
The work was done neatly and with de-
spatch, and no clue could be gotten to the rob
bers. AS keys were used in this instance, it
is the opinion of the officers that this family
gang have been committing all the depreda
tons in the vicinity.
The Watersvlle postoffice was robbed last
summer and valuble articles taken, but even
United States secret service men could not
run down the thieves.
The prisoners were taken to Frederick Sun
day afternoon.

Big Prices for Chickens.

Poultrymen declare that the big show in
the Madison Square Garden, New York has
been an unqualified success, and say there is
no doubt that another exhibition will be held
in the same place next year.
To one who is not professional chicken
faneier the prices at which some of the birds
in the Garden have changed hands will seem
almost incredible. Forinstanee, Adams, Par.
due & Young, of East Orange, N. j., have
sold to G. NJ. Griffin, of Shelter Island, l.. l.,
two buff Cochins and pullet for $3.50. Thos.

For the Democratic Advocate.
Bad Kind of Fellows.

There is a gang of toughs in the vicinity of
Snydersburg who consider themselves brave
young men, but from the manner in which
they conduct themselves their manhood is
considered very small by the people in our
village, where they have been engaged in
battering in doors and windows of unoccupied
houses and unlocking gates from their fasten-
ings at night and carrying them away. They
have not respect enough for their teacher at
school to be governed by him, and none for
themselves, consequently they go where they
please and destroy what they can. But they
had better take heed, for if they are caught in
such acts again they will be governed strictly
by the law. to their sorrow.

It shows the sale Of o young girl for
monetary consideration to "a aeed
lover. Emma Mellick il the plain
tiff. Her maiden name Is Emma
Keitler, and her father wai . canal-
boat captain, living at PhilliHburg.
Emma was the prettiest girl il tosn.
Henry M. Mellick was sixty-fye years
old and well-to-do. He saw Emma
and fell in love with her. The 18-
year-old girl accepted his attentions
and presents and laughed at her
suitor. Her parents, it appears, look
ed at the matter more seriously and,
according to Emma's story, they ap-
proved Of an offer that Emma should
become Mellick's wife when she was
nineteen, in consideration Of mort
gage for s.. 900 on some property, .,
house and lot at New Yillsge, and
$500 in cash. The wedding d6} was

a minister married them. The couple
went to live at New Village. In
August the mortgage wanted to pay
interest on the mortgage. Emma was
asked to produce the bond to have
the interest indorsed on L and she de.
clined. Finally she accompanied her
husband to the mortgagee's house
and the receipt was written or The
bond. Then, she charges, her hus--
band turned his back on her. slipped
the bond 10 his pocket and handed
her an old cancelled bond. She de-
manded her bond and Mallick walked
out Of the house. The wife then
made inquiry and found that two
weeks before the marriage he had
turned over to his son, Howard, the
property be had apparently conveyed

EYes Of pirsrent People.

Eyes have always been regarded as
sure tribal Characteristic. Tacitus.
for example, describes the Germans as
g fierce, with blue eyes and red hair"
The Celts are mentioned a. being
swarthy-skinned and black-eyed the
Gauls are red-haired and iight-eyed,
while the Nubians, the Turks, the
Egyptians and the Italians have al
ways been spoken of as the dark
eyed races" These peculiarities have
not changed. Even to-day the peo-
pie of the temperate zones generally
have light-colored eyes, while those
of the torrid and the frigid zones are
usually dark, or even black. OF the
races in particular, the only one that
can be said to be /" light-eyed Is the
Caucasian, and even in tLis race the
eyes are by no means uniform in
point of color.
The whole period of human history
goes to prove that the light-haired,
blue eyes races are capable of the
highest degree Of civilization, but it
does not by any means follow that
the highest degree Of civilization is
confined to the people Of blonde COM
plexion. Three was time when q
blue-eyed person was rarely seen. and
to day seven.eighths Of the worlds in
habitants have dark eyes. Lavater.

in national physiognomy. gave the
following as the results of his obser-

The Italians have small eyes ;

The odds Against Him.

other day in one Of the courts, and
those who saw it have not yet done
laughing over it. It appears that one
of the old settlers of st. Paul. weary
ing of calling and dunning for a bill,
brought suit to enforce its collection.
When the day of trial came on, the
old settler. who is as jolly an Irish
man as ever wore shamrock, was a
little late showing up and the jury
had been impanelled and sworn. He
entered, sat behind the attorney and
ran his eye over the jury. When he
reached the last man he sprang to bis
feet and, regardless Of court etiquette
and decorum, called out j:
