sANDBAGs our OF VOGUE.
! The Modern Highwayman Considers
Them Too Anticipated for Use.
| rhicnnn Trihnns

"You hear a great deal about sand
bagging' just now" said a Central Sta
ton detective. THE sandbag is no
longer used by a professional criminal;
there are better ways Of roboing a man
than by knocking him over the head
with weapon which, il found on the
possessor, would make it pretty hard
for him to escape the rough hand Of the
law.
THE sandbag, anyhow, is an ancient
weapon. If the pounding into insensi-
bility OF victim is desired, billy is
far handler than a sandbag. Nowadays
the crooks carry as few evidences OF
their calling as possible. A vast num-
Der OF them go entirely unarmed. As
for the highwaymen, many of them have
neither revolver nor billy when per-
suing their peculiar business.
The old, old system of garroting is
the favorite method in vogue, and this
is invested with certain modern details.
The victim instead of being pounded
into insensibilty, and hurt so as TO be
permanently disabled, is left with a
temporary feeling Of distress, while the
safety of the highwayman is assured as
it was under the old plan. The modern
hiRhwaymen travel in twOS, threes or
fours. Usually they go in pairs. II is
late at night, we'll say. A street is al
most deserted. A pedestrian hurries
along. He sees ahead OF him two
men, walking slowly, almost side
bv side. Perhaps they stagger
little, as II intoxicated.
As the fellow in a hurry nearS them
they separate and let him pass between.
When you see tbs move you can gam
BILE the fellows are highwaymen. AS
our friend passes between them the
man nearest him throws ali arm deftly
under his chin, and the grip on his
throat prevents any outcry. The other
fellow punches him in the ead-basket.
You know how man feels when he's
hin in the stomach. In moment they
have rifled his pockets, have disappear
ed and the victim, dazed and distressed,
is lying on the ground recovering from
the shock.
with an occasional variation to suit
circumstances this is the favorite
method of the hjghwaymen. a few
try the plan Of holding revolver under
q mans nose. Some still use the billy
sneaking up to their victim from be-
hind. But they are burglars. III two
men are walking ahead OF you, or are
coming towards you, and separate TO let
YOU pass between them, don't pass.
Take the middle Of the street and be
prepared to run.

Lucky Strike Of Nanral Gas Near S.s1bsnyills
Notes Cleaned in the Busy Local

The week just closed has been a quiet
one in local industrial fields, with no
perceptible change in the gross tonnage
output, or the number OF men In en-
ployment in the different plants. The
fne weather has been taken advantage
Of by the operators. who have already
commenced work upon a number Of
houses, and the building season may be
said TO be fairly inaugurated.

The Royal Gas Company has been de-
velOping new territory recently which
is the richest In gas yield and pressure
yet struck by this particularly fortunate
company, one Of the wells showing a
''twO minute pressure" OF several hun
dred pounds upon a test few days ago.

benville line. two others are anchored,
and still another is nearly drilled 60 the

serve when the time comes. With
only twenty pounds pressure on
from the old wells, which
was the utmost limit, one of the new
wells was turned in few days since,
and in a few minutes the pressure
marked 90 pounds. Already the Royal
has begun serving the HUMPHREY Glass
Works, of Steubenville, and the River
side Glass Works, of WelSburg, and by
Saturday 10 is thought the Clinton Paper

the successful development of the new
territory, which is near Venice and eX-
