Two EXPERT LITTLE BURGLARS
sarah Mann, Ten Years Old. Her BOY Pal,
and Their Many Crinics,

Sarah Mann. aged 10 yonrs. is n rosy oh eek ed
burglar. thief. and forger. whose large dark
eyes and heavy black hair make her curl
osity to visitors at tho Hnckensack mil. Many
persons have COMO to the prison during the
last week to SEQ this infant criminal.
As related briefly In The Sun OF Fob. 10.
Sarah and her supposed cousin Arthur were
arrested ut New Milford. on tho New Jersey
and New York Railroad. for stealing from the
stations Mt New Milford. River Edge. Etna. and
Oradell. Subsequent Investigations by De-
tcctive D. A. Bloomer tend to prove beyond
doubt that Sarah not only committed the acts.
but that she has displayed n wisdom beyond
her years and simply remarkable nerve.
Detective Bloomer and Superintendent
Drake OF tho railroad ut first doubted the
child story when she said that slic gained NC
cess to the ticket Office in tho River Edge sta
ton by pushing bnck tho dcad-ln;ch bolt with
n poker. but when thoy took Sarah to the stu
ton she performed the feat in less than half
minute For the sake Of economy in fuel an
iron barred opening is Loft in the partition
separating the ticket onlcc from the waiting
room. Through this opening tho heat nhsscs

Gross. said be was from New Mexico,
and had been boarding in Syracuse for
some time. He admitted that he was the
man who had attempted the train robbery.
He is believed to be the much wanted
Oliver Curtis Perry, who robbed Express
Messenger Moore near Utica last fall.
THE FIGHT WITH THE MESSENGER
The story of the attempt at robbery as far
as can be gathered is this: The express
messenger. be it understood, will not talk.
Cross boarded the train when it pulled out
Of Syracuse and climbed on top OF the ex-
press car. He was provided with hooked
rope. Fastening the hook in a slight cor
nice OF the roof on one side of the car be
let himself down onto the other and resting
lis toes on the ledge that runs along the car
he looked In the glass of the side door and
saw the express messenger in front Of one of
the safes which was open, making
up bis bills9 He smashed the
glass with his revolver, covered the
messenger and shouted to him to hold up
his hands Instead of doing this Messenger
Mclnerney reached for the signal cord with
one hand, and for his revolver with the
other. bullet smashed the hand on the
bell cord, but not before it had given the
signal that aroused the conductor. Then
Messenger Mclnerney fired on the robber
and put bullet through his coat.
THE MESSENGER SHOT TWICE.
Then the robber shot the messenger twice,
once in the right leg and once in the left
temple. He climbed into the car and
desperate struggle took place, which did
not end until the train was stopped for
the first time, near Weedsport.
1t is evident that the robber
had climbed out on top OF the cars and re-
mained there through the stop at Port By
ron until the train reached Lyons. SO far
as can be learned the robber secured abso-
lutely nothing, for which the company can
thank the readiness of Conductor Laass and
the pluck of Messenger McInerney.
It Is learned that the robber was formerly
a cowboy and later worked as railway
brakeman.

A Combine in ENGLAND to Fight tn

A Combine in England to Fight the
Employees to Finish.
LONDON. Feb. 21.-A movement is on foot
among shipping men which will probably
have highly important results A COM
mittee Of the shipping federation. which
aims to break up the seamen's and other
allied unions, is on the point Of completing
a gigantic, long projected scheme for the
absorption Of all the industries connected
with shipping. The committees overtures
have met with marked success. They have
found that numerous employers Of labor in
different branches of the shipping industry
are anxious to be rid OF the present irksome
conditions owing to which they find them
selves greatly under the mems thumbs.
CHAFING UNDER THE STRIKES.
The TYne-siie aud Waer-side ship-build-
ers are chatting under the continual strikes
going on among the workmen they employ,
on account OF which, In many cases, they
have been obliged to refuse long contracts
for fear they would be forced to break them
"a state Of affairs threatening ultimate re-
moval of the trade elsewhere. These
apprehensive ship-builders are. giving the
committee their fullest snpport~ Negosia-
tions which are also proceeding With firms
on the south and west coasts, promise to be
speedily brought to satisfactory conclu-
sion.
WAR FOR SUPREMACY.
1t Is tacitly understood that when the de-
tails of the desired cooperation are finally
settled the shipping federation will throw
off the mask and declare a war which shall
decide the question OF supremacy between
the unions and the employers. Nearly all the
employing firms engaged in the Thames-side
shipping trades, have applied for admit
tance to the organization, while the feder-
atoms committee has just gained the
adhesion of the Tyne-side engineers,
Messrs. Armstrong & Mitchell, one Of tho
richest firms In the country, and the South
eastern and Chatham and Dover Railroad
companies, owning the channel steamboats,
and docks at Southampton.

PERSONALITIES IN The PULPIT.
Rev. Wadsworth breaches Another
Sensational Sermon.

AUGUSTA, GA, Feb. 81. - Mr.. wads-
worth preached another Of his series Of sen.
sational and personal sermons in St.
Johns Methodist church tonight His
text was: "Christ as a sensational preacher
vs.. the secular press" He was very personal
In his remai ks to Charles J. Bayne menl-
Der Of the Chronicle staff, whom he sought
to ridicule as the poet religious editor Of the
tracts from Mr.. BAyne's writings
and criticised them. The basis OF this was
an editorial In the Chronicle two Sundays
ago entitled "a Lay Sermon" and the text
OF which was Christian charity. II con-
tained no reference to Mr.. Wadsworth, but
was generally accepted as drawing con-
trast with the sensational and abusive
character OF the sermons being preached by
him.
PERSONALITIES IN THE PULPIT.
Having aScertained that Mr.. Bayne
wrote the LAY Sermon" Mr.. Wadsworth
devoted a large portion of his sermon to-
night to belttling Mr.. Bayne as the young
poet-religious editor. at times provoking
laughter at his expense. At the conclusion
or the sermon, however, the sensation
reached It's climax when Mr.. BaYne arose
from his seat in the large congregation and
announced that "if the ladies' aud gentle
men OF ene audience would call at the
Chronicle office tomorrow afternoon, he
would have poem ready for distribution
which he thought would be OF interest,""
ABURsT OF APPLAUSE.
This unexpected announcement was
greeted with applause aud was followed by
q statement from Mr.. Wadsworth "that he
was glad he had been able TO furnish so
large an audience for the poet to deliver
himself before, and he hoped the promised
poem would be more sublime than its
predecessors" This retort was In Its turn
greeted by applause. whereupon Mr.. Wads-
worth remembered himself and the oo-
casion and declared that they were In
the house of the Lord, where such
demonstrations were very unseemly. The
incident created great sensation. Com
ments upon 1t are OF course diverse, but
there is no denying that there is the liveliest
curiosity TO see Mr. Baynes pro missed poem,
in which it is understood he means 20 handle
the preacher without reserve.

A TRAINS MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

The Engine Plun9es Into Ravlne, But
the Cars Keep the Track.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 21.-The Wheeling
express on the Wheeling division of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, with 100 pas
sengers on board, had a narrow escape
from an awful accident near Whitehall,
twelve miles south of this city, last night.
Near Whitehall. and just around a steep
curve, is temporary trestle 800 feet long
and 40 feet high. The train was running at
the rate Of thirty-five miles ON hour and
when it rounded the curve the engine struck
a huge rock, which, loosened by frost, had
rolled from high embankment above to
the railroad. An awful crash followed.
PLUNGE OF THE ENGINE.
The engine broke from the tender and
left the track. The tender partly broke
from the train and the separate parts rushed
in a mad race for the trestle. When the en-
gine reached the trestle proper it seemed to
stop suddenly, and plunged down the em-
baukmenk The train grinding out
flashes of fire from the rails swept
by 1t safely, being stopped by the air
brakes at the other end of the trestle As
the engine toppled over Engineer Mahan
was thrown out. He was found some 40
feet away from the engine in deep ravine
He was unconscious and is fatally injured.
The engine was crushed into a mass Of
warped and shattered iron.
THE FIREMAN's ESCAPE.
When the engine stopped before its plunge
into the ravine it threw Fireman Lindsey
high In the air through the cab roof. He
alghted upon an embsnkment. His
shoulder was dislocated and he was other
wise injured. The tender left the track
when the train stopped on the
trestle and plunged into the chasm below
without taking any of the cars
with 1t, making the second miraculous
escape. The passengers were badly fright
ened, but beyond shaking up were unin-
jured. They were brought to the city at l
o'clock this morning. The accident is pro-
nounced by railroad men to be the most
marvellous ever known to them.
