FIRING HIS FURNACE

Is How q Puddler Thought He Was Engaged
When Arrested for Stealing Coal.
Thomas Mcclure is Soho puddler who
labored, and right valiantly, under curl
Gus hallucination yesterday morning-or SO,
anyway, he says. As officer Cox was
patroling near the railroad he saw Mcclure
hard at work at Baltimore and Ohio coal
car, and promptly arrested him on suspicion
of stealing the fuel.
At the hearing in the Fourteenth ward
station house Mcclure said he must have
been drunk, for he believed he was engaged,
when arrested, in shoveling coal into his
furnace. He had a cellar full of coal, and
his wife said he had no occasion to steal
any. As the defense was a novel one, and
never before set up, the case was held over
for further investigation.

DANGEROUS MUD HOLES.
A Colored Man Walks Into One on Shetland
Avenue and Is Unable to Free Himself

Dead When Discovered

Avenue and Is Unable to Free Himself
Exhausted, He Falls Down and Is Half
Dead When Discovered.
When Arthur Henney, colored man,
whose home Is at 223 Renfrew street, is able
to leave the Nineteenth ward station, he will
give mud holes very wide berth. He be-
came entangled in one on Shetland avenue
at O'Clock Yesterday morning, and being
unable to extricate himself, lay half buried
in the mire before assistance arrived.
Henney was employed on Saturday night
at cleaning out Gauster's saloon on Franks
town avenue, and when he had finished
made tracks for his home by way of Larimer
street and Shetland avenue. Reaching
Achilles street he began to pick his way
across the nice soft mud that rose above his
boot tops as he slowly made his way across
the avenue. The mud grew deeper and more
tenacious as he advanced, and when he
finally reached the center, he landed at q
short notice into hole which held him a
prisoner. He struggled to free himself, but
his efforts only tended to imbed him the
more firmly in the luscious ooze. At length
his struggles tired him out and he sank
down exhausted. Four or five hours later
the early passersby were attracted by the
barking of Newfoundland dog which was
tugging at something in the middle of the
road. Investigation revealed the body of
man and word was sent to the police.
The patrol wagon and three officers were
sent to the rescue, but the team was
swamped before it could reach Henney, and
then one of the horses stumbled and fell.
Then the wagon was temporarily abandoned,
and the officers, cautiously feeling their way
through the Quagmire, known at City Hall
as Shetland avenue, reached Henney, and
forming line holding each others hands,
the officer nearest the lost man succeeded in
catching an exposed arm. Then, with long
pull, and a strong pull, and a pull alto
gether, Henney was raised from his resting
place and carried on a shutter to the wagon.
At the station, DR.. Cathcart restored him to
Consciousness. but he was unable to return

on Account of a Woman.

with knife, at No. 50 Mulberry alley,
Saturday night, stabbing him in four places
in the thigh, back and side. Roch is not
mortally hurt but is suffering severely from
the assault. The quarrel grew out of an
alleged insult on the part of McCabe to one
of the women in the boarding house, which
Roch resented by attempting to put McCabe
out of the house. McCabe then drew the
knife, and after inficting four stabs ran
away. He returned later but was given his
baggage and told to 90.
The police were kept in ignorance of the
affair until last night Inspector McAleese
gave orders for McCabe's arrest, but at a
late hour he had not been found.
