James Franklin, ST., was arrested early yes
terday morning upon the charge of stealing
coal from the residence Of Mr.. C. p. Couger
After his arrest a warrant was sworn out for
the arrest of James Franklin, jr., upon the
same charge.
WHY HIS COAL BILL GREW.
During the month Of December the coal bill
of Mr.. c. P. Conger Was ga. which was q much
larger one than usual even for winter month,
and inquiry developed the fact that he was also
paying for fuel for another family. That was
the family Of his servant Hannah Franklin,
and the police were notified Of the theft. Yes
terday morning Officer Conlon watched the
house and arrested Hannah's husband He gave
his name as James Franklin and later in the
day his son Jim was also arrested. The latter

PROJECTING THE FISH.
Canada VIII Cooperate With New York
State.


State.
OTTAWA, ONr., Jan. 27.-Tbe fisheries depart
ment is advised that the commissioners Of fish
cries for the state Of New York have arranged q
plan to place in the waters Of Lake Ontario
next spring 10 600 600 white fish, 40Oo, 600 cscos
and from eight to ten million wall-eyed pike.
Canadian Superintendent of Fish Culture
Wilmott says that with proper laws and regula-
tons in the state of New York governing the
catch Of white fish, and these regulations rig
idly adhered to. the white fish industry
Of Lake Ontario would be in a far
better position than il is today. Canada
has had on her statute books for thirty years
laws protecting white fish in spawning time
and regulations regarding the mesh Of nets,
while the state of New York has absolutely done
nothing in this matter. The only trouble
Is that the Canadian people, knowing
New York has no regard FOR the fish
cries in their portion Of the lake, are
very unwilling to sdhere to the existing regu-
iations. Mr.. Wiimost feels satisfied that if
proper representations were made by the New
York state commissioners to the Canadian gov
eminent Canada would heartily cooperate in
joint scheme Of protection.

All Arc Taken Subject to Deiay-working to
Put the Wirea in Order.
ALI kilograms for Now York are still taken at
the telegraph Offices in this city subject to in
definite delay and there is no way of telling how
soon the damage done to the wires by the storm
Of Saturday night viii be entirely righted. The
condition OF affairs toward the west is somewhat
better and the Western Union is able to
get Pittsburg over the wires that run along the
pike roads. The railroad wires are still in sad
state Of confusion and nothing is going over
them today. All the company's energies are
being brought to bear upon the stretch be-
tween Wilmington and New York. where
the breaks now appear to be worse than was at
first thought. There is no saying when that
section will be in good running order again.
Nothing has been heard in this city as yet as to
the condition Of matters east of New York. but
It Is supposed that things are no better there
than they are on this side of the metropolis.
There is very good communication already
established with Philadelphia. Messages for
New York are taken here and sent that far
over the wires and then hurried along, not by
mail, but by special train messengers. In this
way all business at the local Office is being dis
posed Of and is not allowed to accumulate
beyond all reason.

NOT BINDING ON OUTSIDERS.

A New York Statute Restricting Requests to
Organizations.
BosroS, Mass, Jan. 26.-By q decision of the
full bench Of the supreme court the American
Missionary Association Of New York will
receive $40 900 and the American Bible Society
of that city $40, 900 under the will of Oliver
C. Healy of South Arlington. who left
an estate valued at about go, 900.
The will WAS contested on the ground that the
requests we're in violation of q statute of New
York, which provides that where person leaves
q husband wife. child parent. he shall not
leave to any benevolent, missionary or other
society more than one-hsf of his estate.
The testasor had a wife and the be-
quest TO the American Bible Society came
out of the remainder of the real estate. which
was less than one-half of his property. The
opinion of the court holds that the statute only
applios to inhabitants Of New York and there is
nothing in it to prevent New York corpora
tion from receiving any bequest made by an
inhabitant Of another state.
