a MAN WITH a HISTORY.
Wilbur IL Bates, the Detective Re-
porter, Now a Prsss Agent.

Wilbur II. Bates, the Detective Re-
porter, Now a Press Agent.
Wnbur NJ. Bates, press agent Of the
New DEVILS Auction combination, Is in
the city. Although comparatively young
man, Mr.. Bates hos had an exciting and in
teresting career that has given him a repu-
tation. He is an ex-newspaper man, aud IL
known in all the large cities as the detect
i've reporter. en- account Of the many sensa-
tional criminal mysteries be has unraveled
after officers have given up the cases as i'm
possibilities.
His greatest piece OF work was his detec.
ton of the murder Of Station Master Way
at Stoney Greek, Conn, several years ago,
which was known as the "Stoney Gregg
mystery. The man was found mangled on
the track one morning and as there were no
marks OF violence on his body except these
inflicted by the train it was supposed at
first that the be had been the victim of an
accident, but Mr.. Bates. after Investigating
the affair for the New York World, came to
the conclusion that 1t was a case Of foul
play, and decided TO unravel it.
He had himself appointed stationmaster
and worked at this occupation three months
at Stoney creek, until he had secured strong
circumstantial evidence pointing to a quar-
ryman named Coffee as the man who had
killed Way. When he had Coffee arrested
the fellow laughed at the idea of his being
looked upon as a murderer, and claimed he
could prove an abb. However, when the
trial took place, Mr. Bates chain of ciroum-
stantial evidence was too compactly riveted
together to be broken and consumed nine
days In presentation. He proved that
Coffee had smOthered Way to death with a
piece of oveTGlls and after wards placed him
on the railroad track.
The jury sent Coffee to the penitentiary
FOR life, aud when the convict was on his
death-bed q year later he confessed that he
had killed Way in the exact manner in
which Mr.. Bates circumstantial evidence
indicated.
Mr.. Dates is the man who disguised
himself as an immigrant and proved what
the newspapers of New York had long
been suspec6ing that the railroads were
carrying Immigrants out alright on freight
trains. His expose broke up the illegal
traffic.
His latest achievement was the uu-
ravelin2 Of tho Eill murder mystery in
Maryland for the Philadelphia Press
about eight months ago. His
work resulted in unsarthiuG a con-
splracy, duplicating sixteen negroes, all of
whom were arrested. He secured seven
confessions and the trials are 20 begin Oct
8. His record in other cases of lees in
portauce would fill book. Mr. Bates ls a
bright and interesting raiker ana his reui-
nlscences as a reporter would make a reada-
BILE book. He carries unique card, en-
graved. Having tried chasing murdorers

tonight. The NcUs and Courier says of
Saturdays performance in Charleston:
The play travels around with a police
patrol wagon as its piece de resistance. Il
is well to say in the outset that kid
mapped" as a dramatic production is SO far
above the average melodramas that are
constructed to surround the special features
which give them popularity that the Black
Maria could very well be left out Of it and a
good, clean. Wholesome, rather lurld, but
altogether clever play would be LETT. The
Black Maria Is only an accessory, and not
the motif of the story, as ia the case with
most of the dramas Of this class. It's at
thor, Mr.. Higgins, who, by the way, per
soEates the deus ex Hachina OF the story, G
Dutch dude, is to be- congratulated upon
his work, both with the pen and upon the
stage"
Mr. Higgins, the author Of the play, first
came into prominence by writing and pro-
ducing Burr Oaks" at the Grand opera
house, Chicago, in 1884 The piece has since
been played throughout the country with
great success. His next play, the "Plunger, ="
was purchased by Oliver Doud Byron as
soon as 1t was completed, aid has made the
most decided aud financial success of the
present season. He is the originator of the
effect of the police patrol. Mr. Higgins is
q young man, not yet 30 years of age, who
has certainly a bright future.

| the president reported that patents had
Oeen obtained for seven inventions that will
be used by the road and among them wero
one Tor an electric locomotive and others for
bicycle passenger and palace ooaohes. A

the year with a capital stock OF So OOO. 900
under che control of the bicycle company
and with the same officers The object OF
this company is to furnish this system of
road with electricity as a motive mower
The report further showed that during the
year several companies had obtained char
ters to operate roads Of this character in
different parts of che country. The presi-
dent assured the stockholders of the ulti-
mate success of the principle of Iocomotion
which this company IS endeavoring to in
troduce. One of the roads referred to is be-
tween Brooklyn and Bellport, l., l., aud TIE
other is between Aurora, H., and Chicago.
