Yesterday, while the family Of the
secretary of the Street and Sewer
Commission, Harvey J. Wiley, were
absent, his house at No. 1881 Washing
ton street was broken into and ran
sacked. The case was reported to the
police and from facts which came In
to their possession, they arrested Geo.
Thompson, 9-year'old boy last sven
ing as the offender. ....
Though Thomson Is young in years
this is not the first time he has been
arrested for house breaking. About
two weeks ago he was arrested by
Captain Kersey and Sergeant WiEEles-
worth for breaking into house on
Lombard street near Ninth and was
sent to the st. james Protectory at
Delaware City. He only staid there
one night and then escaped. The po-
lice have been looking for him ever
since he escaped. but he was as shrewd
rs an old offender.
He was arraigned before Judge Ball
this morning, and when asked how lie
got away nom the protectory said he
walked away. On account OF his ten
der years he was not held. but was
committed to the EerIls Reform
School Several other houses have
been robbed and Thompson is suppos
bd to be the guilty party.

The Baldwin Locomotive Works, OF
Philadelphia, have completed the con-
etruction OF ten additional locomotives
for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
The contract was given last May by
Mr.. Blngden Hnzlehurst, general SUI
perlntendent OF motive power. These
locomotives arc all Of the highest class
and are for passenger train service.
They are built according to designs
drawn in Mr.. Hazlehrrt's Office at Mt.
Glare. Several arrived in Baltimore
yesterday and will go into service 1T
once. This makes fifty new locOmo-
tiyes that the Baltimore and OHIO Rail
road has gotten since January /.
MIR. Hazlehurst states that tho life
OF locomotive is twenty years and 1t
takes fifty new ones each year, or five
per cent. OF the totsl in service, to
keep up the equipment, the deterlora-
tion being exactly five per cent. &C
cording to careful calculation. In
round numbers, fifty lie v locomotives
a year represents half million dol
lars. The baldwin Locomotive Works
are building one hundred tender
trucks for the passenger trains of the
Baltimore and Ohio. They are known
as high-speed trucks, having stael
tires and axles. The contract fol
them wns awarded in March.
