GATHERED IN THE NET.

Tho Cocoon Burst and Five Butterflies
Wore Captured-The Southside Police
Raid a WelI-Known Gang Who Have
Boon Annoying Pedestrians.
William Daily, John Burns, William
Nots, David Duffy and Patrick Fleming
were arrested yesterday on South Twelfth
street by Officer Smith on charge of vio-
lating city ordinance. The men comprise
portion of gang known as ''The Butter
fies," who make the Southside market
house their headquartera Although the
major portion of them have good trades, yet
they do not work, but spend their time
loafng about and striking friends for odd
nickels and making themselves generally
obnoxious. Complaints have been SO fre-
quent of late of their actions that instruc-
tions were given to the officers to run them
in, and as q result the five mentioned above
were captured.
Market Clerk Mcdonald said that the en-
tire gang was nuisance and none OF them
were allowed in the market house. "Why,"
said he, II have seen q certain member of
the gang stand on one side of the street and
call across the street to persons passing by,
and if the one addressed failed to approach
would walk leisurely up and request the
loan of nickel and at the same time sing
song of woe that would turn the heart of a
stone. have seen one of the men actually
too lazy to cross the street when person
hailed did not show any desire to be ac-
costed."
Inspector Kelly said last night that 1t was
his intention to break up the gang, and
every one that could be caught would re-
celve the full extent of the law.

arrested at the Point yesterday, and was
locked up charged with highway robbery.
McDonough with an associate named Couf-
field were drinking whisky from bottle

was requested to buy another bottle, but he
refused to do so, when the two men grabbed
him. While one Of them held him the
other took from him his pocketbook con-
tanning SIG. Duggon made vicious fight,
but to no avail When he attempted to
make en- GU; cry, one of the others drew a
revolver. and, covering him with it, COM
PEELED him to walk away from them with
his hands in the air. When he disappeared
around Fort street his assailants disappeared
around Water street
Duggon went direct to police headquar-
ters and reported the robbery. He after
ward went before Alderman McKenna and
made information against the men. Couf-
field has not yet been apprehended. The
money was found in McDonough's possess
sion after his arrest.

THE WALLS YARDS OPENED.

They WIN Be tho Largest and Finest in 1lhe
Worad-Much Work Formerly Done ut
Altoona and P1ttsburg Will Be Done
There.
The immense yards Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad at Walls station wore opened
yesterday, and great revolution In tho
transfer Of freights resulted. A scene Of
mighty activity Is displayed about Walls
and Walurbs. At tho frs. start over !, 800
men have been employed in the yards there
alone, while the new shops arc bsins peopled
daily with constantly increasing force of
men. This force will increase until several
thousand will note the number of men to
be employed in the yards and shops there
All freight trains that have heretofore
run from Altoona and the East will be
transferred and switched at Walls instead
of Pittsburg. Instead of trains running
through Pittsburg to Altoona and the East,
they will stop at Walls station, where ali
transfers will be made. All through PAN
handle trains will be run direct to Walls
over the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston
bridge at Port Perry, as will also the return
trains be sent ont from Walls All trains
over the Ft Wayne that now shift in the
Pittsburg yards will be handled at Walls.
When these yards are finished they will
be the largest and finest in the world.
Miles and miles of track have been built,
and the company has spent nearly 81, ,000,-
900 on the yards, engine houses, shops,
etc. Before the work is completed half as
much more money will be spent

TROUBLESOME GREENE COUNTY.
Another County Convention II Called ol
the Congregational Conference.

Another County Convention II Called on
the Congressional Conference.
The trouble among the Republicans of
the Twenty-fourth Congressional district
will not down and each day some fresh
grievance comes sailing in from the fertile
hills Of Greene county. AT recent con-
vention Of the Greene county Republicans
it was decided that unless that county
would be given equal representation with
the other counties of the district they
would not go into conference to nominate
Congressman for the district. Conse-
quently, Greene county was not represented
in the recent Congressional conference held
in this city, at which E. F. Acheson was
nominated. For refusing to go with the
conference Postmaster Teagarden and
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector Rine-
hart were both notified that their removal
from Office would certainly follow their
offensive conduct. 1t was also charged
against them that they had packed the con-
conference. Yesterday word was sent to
Mr.. Acheson that he could have the two
Federal officials removed whenever he
pleased, and to prove that the convention
was not packed County Chairman A. G.
Dickey, of Waynesburg, issued a call for
another convention, at which the question
of going into the Congressional conference
will alone be considered. Chairman Dickey's
call invites every township in the county to
send representative to the convention,
and the call states the only subject to be
considered by the convention.
"We would like to have every Republican
in Greene county present at the conven-
tion," Greene county Republican said
yesterday. 'sWe merely want to show these
people that our people as a whole are op-
posed to going into conference where we
have absolutely no show or getting anything
and where we do not even have the same
show as the other counties in the district"

DUPED THE RAILROADS
A Clever Englishman Said to Be Doing tho
States on Passes.

A Clever Enslishman Said to Be Doing tho
States on Passes.
A story came from Chicago yesterday of
one G. H. Cook, clever Englishman, who
has been seeing the States at the expense of
the railroads. He had letters of introduce
tion showing that he was the assistant
superintendent and civil engineer of
the London and Northwestern Rail-
road, the leading road of Eng
land. On the strength of this claim
he hoodwinked Chauncey Depew and Pres
ident Roberts, of the Pennsylvania, who
wined and dined him, and finally gave him
passes over their roads, As the story goes,
Cook was shown through the Altoona shops
by officials whose time was worth $500 per
day. In Pittsburg it is reported he was
feasted by iron kings, and then was sent on
his way rejoicing In q special car to Chi
cago. In the West he met with the same
success, and is now said to be travelling on
the Pacific coast in private car furnished
by the Southern Pacific road. G. A. Barra-
toni, the New York agent Of the London
and Northwestern road, now comes forward
and says Cook is an impostor
It may be true that Cook duped President
Roberts and Chauncey Depew, but SO far as
his Pittsburg success is concerned nobody
knows anything about it here A number
of railroad and iron men who were asked
about Cook said they had never heard of
him.

NEW TRACTION IDEAS.

The Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester
to Have n Signal Service Similar to the
Fire Alarm System-How Baseball
Travel Is to Be Accommodated.
The Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester
Traction Company has made more advance
in the way of systematizing the operating
of its road than any rapid transit company
in the country. 1t has just completed its
new workshop, and in a few days every
thing will be in excellent running order.
The new shops are fitted with everything
needed to repair or even build car. A
large force of men is constantly Kept at
work repairing and building in the new
shops the running gear of the road. In
erecting the new addition to its plant, the
company has put into working order several
new ideas. Principal among these inven-
tions is an electric signal service and emer-
gency wagon. The system is not in active
operation yet, but will be in few days.
When it is it will be worked much like the
fire alarm system. A wagon fitted
like the Pittsburg police patrol
is quartered at the car sheds
This will be operated exactly the same
as the patrol wagons The horses are thor
oughly trained, and the instant an alarm is
sent in they run to their places. The
"oSoh SfSi fehihS uSCoCo w
any damages, and the men who operate it
are quartered in the shed. The signals
which will be put in are similar to those
used by the Fire Bureau, different num-
Der of taps meaning different causes. The
following grievances can be reported: Fire,
car off track, wires down, car disabled,
broken wagon on track, man injured, broken
axle, power of. damage to track or road
way. The alarm boxes will be distributed
all along the line, and the wagon can get to
any point within ten minutes.
The company has the whole Of the travel
to the ball grounds, and this summer it is
prepared to accommodate the
patronizers of the game. 1t has fitted up
number of the Rebecca street cars with 90
horse power motors and attached the trailers
to each car, to be used Us smokers. These
cars will only run between the city and E1-
position Park. They started yesterday.
These improvements were all brought
about under the management Of General
Manager G. f. Greenwood, and he is justly
proud of them.

I. AND O. CRAPS.

The Story Reported to tho Police by . visi-
tor to Headquarters.
Inspector McKelvey was yesterday noti-
fed that an exciting game of craps was in
progress at the headquarters of the Law
and Order Society at Sixth avenue and
Grant street. An officer was detailed to
investigate the report, but the game had
been suspended before the policeman en-
tered. The three dice with which the
Law and Order detectives had been playing
were found on the mantel and were taken
away.
The gentleman who reported to the police
said: "When entered the Law and Order
headquarters three of the detectives were
sitting on the floor shooting craps. They
were all very much absorbed in the game
and none of them paid attention to my
entering. After mySpresence was discov-
cred. however, the game was suddenly sus-
pended"

INSURANCE MEN DISTRESSED.
Colonel Patterson Says an Epidemic of
Fires Is Annoying the Companies-No
Advance in Rates Is Contemplated.

NoiO4el Iasterson says an Epluem1c Ol
Fires Is Annoying the Companies-No
Advance in Rates Is Contemplated.
Colonel Patterson, Inspector of Rifle
Practice of the State militia, who is an 1n-
surance man, was at the Duquesne Hotel
last night
CHOW is the insurance business?" was
asked the genial Colonel.
The insurance business is simply dis
tressed this season." he answered "Ill
tel you the insurance people of this coun-
try are just now passing through a very try
Ing period. In my ten years experience 1
have never known SO many losses as we
have experienced since the LIST OF January.
The old-timers tell me that they have had
more losses since January 1 this year than
they had in the same period for so years. 1
tell you, it's simply awful
How do you explain the trouble?''
We'll, there seems to have been a gen.
eral destruction of property this year. In
fact, there has been an epidemic of small
Ires all over our territory. Our company
is not alone in its suffering. One can hear
complaints from every insurance company
and insurance agent in the land. They all
seem to be singing the same doleful song,
and ! guess the distress is about equally
divided between the various insurance or
ganizations.
why not apply some remedy?" was sug-
gested.
''There is no remedy. Our business is to
insure property against loss and to paw for
all losses that may occur. The only possible
remedy would be to raise the rate Of insur-
ance."
''Do you contemplate such a move?"
Not that l know of We are hopeful
that the epidemic Of distress will soon pass
of, and that our companies will be able to
get some benefit from their risks and get a
rest from losses AS / say, there seems to
be no remedy for the ailment troubling us

POOR FARMS THAT SELL CHEAP.

A Real Estate Man Snys That Land Can Be
Had for $50 an Acre.
c. L. Straub, a real estate dealer, said
yesterday in speaking of Chief Elliot's
interview on the prices the contemplated
poor farms have been sold for, that it
was nonsense to talk of coal lands being
worth 81 900 an acre. although such men as
Walton, Stone and Fawcett put that value
upon it.
Mr.. Straub said he had recently sold the
Hoffman farm, near the Alexander farm, for
$50 an acre. He declares this farm better
than the one offered to the city.
City Attorney Moreland ruled yesterday
that the old poor farm ordinance for the
purchase of the Alexander farm died with
the old Councils aud will now have to be
presented again.
