PAID FOR THEIR OWN ARREST.
Hertiic Ride of Two Criminals In Company
With Policeman.

Herdic Ride of Two Criminals in Company
With Policeman.
Boston Herald.]
Station 2 is one of the police stations not
provided with patrol wagon, but some Of
the officers at the house think there isn't
much need of one, after all. The criminals
are furnishing their own transportation
now.
There is building on Long wharf used
as depot for stores awaiting transporta-
tion to the Government stations down the
harbor.
A few nights ago two thieves gained an
entrance to the place. and after securing
such booty as they desired, one of them
went in quest of some means of conveying it
to their quarters.
Just then patrolman of Division 2 came
along, and. noting their suspicious actions,
concealed himself in doorway and awaited
developments.
The second man soon returned with .
herdic, and getting inside with their spoils
the two drove directly past the doorway in
which the officer was concealed.
They were naturally little surprised
when a tall form in policeman's uniform
sprang into the herdic, and voice called to
the driver:
"We have changed our minds Drive to
station 2. please"
Of course it was useless to resist, but the
two thieves thought it was 'crowding the
mourners" to make them pay the officers
herdic fare, as well as their own.

BURIED UNDER THE ICE

A Missing Woman Found After Moro
Than a Months Absence.
WILKEsBARRE, PA, March 15.-This
afternoon, as Thomas Hutchins, boy IA
years of age was crossing the marsh near
the Terra Gotta Works at Wyoming, he saw
something that appeared to be a human
shoulder protruding through the ice. To
make sure he dug away with the heel of his
boot until he had made good-sized hole
and there he found human body.
He at once ran to ward the town and noti-
fed number of men who went to the spot
and dug the remains out A half hour
later, it was discovered that the body was
that of woman about 60 years old. She
was identified as Mrs Clark, who had left
her home in Pittston over . month ago to
visit relatives in Schuylkill county.

RUINED By INTOLERANCE

st. Petersburg's Great Hebrew Banker
Finally Forced to tho Wall.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 15.-The liza
biIities of j. E. GuenEburg, the Hebrew
banker, whose suspension was announced
to-day, amount to 6,000, 900 roubles. A
majority of the creditors are in London and
Paris
Further particulars regarding the failure
show that it is attributed partly to Govern
ment animosity, which has hampered the
financial business of the house. Since M.
Guenzburg, as the leading Hebrew banker
in Russia, aroused the Gar 8 wrath by try
ing to buy the influence of the Minister of
the Interior with view to bringing about
an abatement in the prosecutions Of the
Hebrews, his affairs have gone badly. His
intimate relations with German Hebrew
bankers have lately been q source of weak
ness, as finances in St. Petersburg are now
allied with those Of Paris. It is expected
that the creditors of NJ. Guenzburg will
ultimately be paid in full

The Pickpocket Takes Advantage of Cen
eraI Fracas at Monte Carlo.
MONTE CARLO, March 15.-An exciting
row occurred to-day in the gambling saloon
of the Casino here. A man had in some
way offended a woman, and the latter re-
taliated by boxing his ears. The affair, of
course, drew everybody's attention, and
some of the friends of the man and the
woman took hand in the affair. A general
row resulted, which was only quelled by
the appearance of the police, who arrested
everyone who had engaged in the fracas.
Among those who were in the saloon at
the time the row began was Lady Randolph
Churchill. Some enterprising pickpocket
during the excitement sidled up to Lady
Randolph Churchill and relieved her of her
purse, which contained rather large sum
of gold number of valuable coins struck
off during Queen Victoria's jubilee

After consultation with the members of
the family, during which he instructed them
that at his next visit they were to do pre-
cisely as he told them, and that without
question, Dr.. Blaisden left. The following
day he returned and found Mrs. Marcus
still gasping In manner that suggested q
locomotive attempting to draw heavy
train up steep grade. The physician has
q voice which would be heard to advantage
it on this occasion with even sterner ring
than 1t possesses naturally.
Now, madam" he said, .''stop that
breathing"
81 can't" gasped the patient
ST will give you exactly two minutes to
do so," answered the physician, producing
his watch and seating himself on the edge
of the bed. The two minutes passed and
still Mrs Marcus gave NO evidence Of being
better.
He Frightened Her With q Poker.
Then the physician rose to his feet, and,
in ringing voice, asked for poker. The
implement was brought to him and he
ordered the patients sister to put it in the
fire
"w-h-a-t are you going to d-o?"
asked the sufferer between breaths
"What am going to do, madam" said
DR.. Blaisdell, with his eyes flashing, 'I am
going to cauterize you from the nape OF the
neck to your waist on both sides of your
spine"
Don't hurt me-" pleaded the woman,
with difficulty.
'I must do my duty" said the doctor,
'tand this is the one thing left The opera
tion is painful, but necessary. In the event
of your submitting to it, we'll and good. If
otherwise, shall use force" Then turning
to the other woman, he asked: "Is the poker
cherry red?"
"It is, was the reply.
Then prepare for the operation" he
said to the patient, and dexterously turn
ing her on her face, he drew down the bed
clothes and told the sister to hand him the
poker before it got cold.
Believing him to be in earnest, Mrs Mar
cus's fright got the better of her hysteria,
and in a perfectly natural voice, accom-
panied by normal breathing, she begged the
doctor not burn her.
DR.. Blaisdell didn't relent so easily, how
ever, and it was not until after so many
tears and prayers on the part of the pa
tient that he consented to put away the
poker.
I warn you, however," he said, ''that if
I hear of the return of this nonsense of
yours I shall cauterize you at all haz-
ards. You can check that breathing if you
see fit am in earnest"
Mrs. Marcus has had no return of the
malady since DIR. Blaisdell probably
thinks that the red-hot poker can discount
relics in cases Of this type.

POWDERfY Is SARCASTIC.
IT MAY BE BEST TO LET THE READ
ING DEAL GO In PEACE.

Twill Raise the Price OF Coal and Call
Attention to the Lameness OF the State
Constitution-He Comments ON . Peti-
tion in q Railroad Once.
SCRANTON, March 16-General Master
Workman Powderly published in Truth OF
this evening an article of column and
half oh the Reading deal. Among other
things MI. Powderly said:
Public opinion is undergoing q most won
derful change, or else the people are quietly
surrendering their right to mold public sem
timent. Last week saw petition intended
for presentation to Governor Pattison,
favoring the perpetuatton OF the great Coal
Trust, in one of the offices of the Reading
Company. The employees informed me that
they were given to understand that their
positions depended on their signing this
paper. 1 requested permission to make pub
lie the fact, ana give names and locations,
but they would not consent for fear OF dis
charge and blacklisting.
Those who seek to intimidate me by hint
ing that was working in unison with captt-
alists are mistaken in their estimate of the
subject OR the man. do not care who or
what work with. SO long as 1t Is In the
right direction, In the right time and for
own modes. Mine are in the direction of
preserving inviolate the great charter of
the State. and, in case that cannot be done,
10 WOTk SuCIf CuduScS III Vic uOCuLlOhe %
will make it so plain that it may be under
stood by the simple minded, everyday man,
who has no time to read up on the laws.
i'll were Governor of Pennsylvania (par-
don me now for presuming to say what
think should be done), a notice would be
served on every company interested in this
deal that If they persisted In their work
their charter would be forfeited and q de-
mand would be made that they be placed in
the hands OF receivers until they made
amends for their attempted violation Of che
Constitution. Heretofore the fear that one
company might kick over the traces and
give the men q few more days in the month,
or the people of the cities q few more tons Of
coal, caused the mines to work q portion of
the time. With this combination in sue
cessful operation no such fear will be felt.
In the meantime it is no small satisfaction
to know that those who protested last year
that our Constitution was good enough"
admirable" wonderful" fall sufficient"
and that those who advocated a change
were all wrong, are now either finding fault
with the Governor for not enforcing it, as
they see it, OF excusing him for not knowing
what it means. What does it mean, anyway
On the whole do not know but that it is
best to allow this deal to go on. 1t will grow
bolder it will grow more arrogant, 1t will
raise the price Of coal, no matter what they
say just now. 1t will become SO insolent
that it will cause all rightminded men to
see the danger which faces them, in allowing
this octopus to grow and spread.

Not Without Resources, Even If Knocked

PHILADELPHIA, March 15.-The dis
patches from Harrisburg, announcing the
filing of bill in equity by Attorney Gen
eral Hensel in the matter of the Reading
combine, caused no surprise, as such action
was generally expected. The prevailing
opinion is that in case the combination is
declared illegal, the parties behind 1t will
attempt to put it through in another form.
The New Jersey Legislature having
passed bill legalizing the combination,
the authorities Of this State can do nothing
except by declaring the leasing of the Lee
high by the Reading illegal, and in case the
courts sustain them It is understood that
new corporation will be formed in New
Jersey, and that. it will control the Legigh
Valley, which will be operated in harmony
with the Reading. By this means the COM
bination would go into effect, although tho
Lehigh would not be leased by the Read

Police CAPTAIN Reeds Anniversary.

Police Captain Reed, of Central station,
passed another anniversary as police
officer yesterday-the forty-sixth in con-
tiuuous service as patrolman, sergeant. and
captain. Naturally he has seen many
changes in the police department of the
city in all that time, and can readily recall
the systems practiced from year to year and
the methods put into use causing the evolu-
tion that has resolved the force into its pres
ent superb department:
He is apparently as hale and hearty as he
was ten years ago, and bids fair to continue
in service for some years to come.

hibitors at the Chicago Worlds Fair would
be charged by the British committee for

Such charge is necessary because the funds

cient to defray all the expenses.
Patrick O'Brien (Parnellite) introduced
a bill to amend the Catholic relief act in
order to remove the disabilities of Catholics
in England and ireland imposed by the act.
Mr.. O'Brien said that he thought that as
the House had repealed the laws in regard
to Eastbourne, so as to enable the Salvation
Army there to hold its professions, equal
laws should obtain for Catholics. The
measure passed its first reading by an over
whelming majority by show Of hands.
