Traced by u Pool of Blood.

Abe Warner, of Hobbie, who is known
by many in Freeland, ives arrested on
Friday. The passenger depot of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company at Berwick was en-
tered on Wednesday night, but aside
from severly battering the ticket cases
and desk the thief secured nothing.
A very tangible clue was left, however,
in the shape of several pools of blood,
the robber having severely cut himself
in entering the window.
On Friday Detective Holland traced
the clue and arrested Warner, who had
badly cut arm, having gashed the
main artery. He was held in bail for
court. Warner has a bad record.

Alderman Leonard, of Williamsport,
has imposed fine of S4 and costs each
on fifteen Philadelphia and Reading re-
pair shop men who were arrested on in
formation of Andrew Anderson, for vio-
lating the law of 1894 by working on
Sunday. Anderson, it will be remem-
bered, started the crusade couple of
weeks ago, he having been discharged
for refusing to assist in repairing cars on
Sunday. The Reading Railroad authori-
ties have taken hold of the matter, the
men arrested having been represented
at the hearing by John G. Reading, legal
representative of the company in that
city.
Mr. Reading declares that an appeal
will be taken, and that the company will
carry the cases to the supreme court if
necessary. The Newberry junction
yards are almost constantly blocked by
cars, and the number requiring repairs
makes Sunday work necessity. And
erson says that he will cause the arrest
of every man whom he finds at work on
Sunday.

SHREWO SWINDLERS.
Patent Attorneys Who Defraud 1nven-
tors by False Promises.

A Mahanoy City inventor who recent.
ly had useful household appliance
patented, not long ago was the recipient
of letter from Washington firm who
styled themselves ''patent attorneys"
saying that they had examined the
patent and found that it was really a
splendid thing. If the young inventor
would send the small sum of $25 at once
they would arrange to organize a COM
pany to manufacture the article and in
troduce it.
This is scheme which is being work
ed by number of swinders in Wash
ington and elsewhere. They watch the
patent records and when they think
that anything has been patented by a
person of small means they will write
him in the tone of the letter which the
Mahanoy City man received.
A poor inventor grasps at the chance
and sends the money. Then he is bled
for more until he will no longer be fool
ed, and then he is uncermoniously

The Railroad Strike.

Lehigh Valley Railroad employees began
yesterday with but very little change
and with the end apparently as far off
as ever. The men have held cut more
firmly than the company or their leaders
expected, and their perfect discipline
and orderly conduct has won for them
the sympathy of the general public.
The tie-up is the most systematic ever
tried on any railroad in this country,
and Notwithstanding the fact that thous-
ands of men are idle in all the eastern
cities the company cannot run its road
in anything like its proper condition.
The new men continue to desert as rap
idly almost as they can be hired, and
those who do remain prove themselves
generally incompetent and unskilled.
Nearly dozen fatal accidents have
strike. On Saturday alone three of the
new men were killed by explosions and
wrecks-two at Geneva, N. Y, and one
at Pennington, N. ]. Yesterday an en-
gineer was crushed to death between
cars at Perth Amboy. Besides these an
official of the road at Easton acknowl-
edges that nine engines have been burn
ed out, the loss from these alone being
estimated at $4,000.
Accidents and wrecks, however, are
kept from the newspapers as much as
possible by the company, but the travel
ing people show their fear of the green
hands by taking another road wherever
possible. The postal authorities last
week refused to send the mails via the
Lehigh Valley to any places except
those which cannot be reached by other
lines. This will be continued until the
Valley can guarantee that its trains will
be run on schedule time-something
they are yet unable to do On Friday it
took Freeland merchant nine hours
and twenty minutes to come here from
Philadelphia.
A small trip of coal cars was taken to
each of the collieries hereabouts on the
Valley on Saturday, and work was re-
sumed this morning. 1t is thought they
can run for another day or two, when
the supply will again give out.
The Wyoming coal operators last week
endeavored to bring about settlement
of the differences, but their efforts were
repulsed by President Wilbur and his
son, the general superintendent. This
action of the officials has brought upon
them the condemnation of the business
men and coal operators along the road,
and movement is now under way
among the stockholders, who are the
principal sufferers, to oust this pair of
autocrats.
The reports made at the brotherhood
meetings yesterday show that there is a
fund of one and one-half million dollars
at the disposal of the strikers. The
organizations will pay about $50 month
to the men who are out.

John Was Tired of Life.

Shortly after dinner on Friday, John
Shonda, Hungarian at Sandy Run, cut
his throat about half way from ear to
ear. He used keen-edged razor in
doing the act, and would have complet,
ed the job only that he lost heart when
he saw his life-blood flowing from the
cash. He said he was tired of life and
would like to be dead.
Johns wound was bandaged and he
was brought to Freeland by some of his
countrymen, who placed him on train
here and sent him over to the hospital
The physicians there have hopes of saw
ing the mans life.

Charles Albert Killed.

Charles Albert, aged about 20 years, a
resident of East Side, Carbon county,
was walking on the Lehigh Valley
tracks at Coalport on Thursday morning
when he was struck by locomotive No
1856, and instantly killed. His body was
picked up and taken to Mauch Chunk
by the crew of the same engine, where
the remains were identified. 1t appears
that Albert was walking towards Mauch
Chunk when he became confused by the
near approach of the train and was
struck

DIED FOR HER CHILD.
Mrs. Patrick Madden Rushes Into Burn
ing Building for Her Babe.

Fire broke out on Friday afternoon in
the house occupied by Patrick Madden,
at Pittston, and rapidly spread. While
the fremen were fighting the flames
Mrs. Madden suddenly cried out that
her baby was asleep in an upstairs room
and attempted to rush in the burning
building but was held back by the police.
The fremen then made an effort to
reach the room but were driven back by
the flames.
Meanwhile Mrs. Madden, who had
been vainly struggling with the police
men, became quiet and when they releas-
ed their hold she tore away and be-
fore anybody could catch her she rushed
into the burning building and up the
stairs which were mass of seething
flames.
The firemen, despite the almost GER
tain death which awaited them, made
desperate efforts to reach the woman
and drag her back, but they were driven
back by the fierce flames, though not
before two were severely bnrned.
The woman managed to reach the up
stairs room and after period of horrible
suspense, during which her husband
and eldest son were prevented from fol-
lowing her only by force, she appeared
at the bedroom window, shouted some
thing, shook her head and then fell
back into the flames. Her body was
found afterward burned to a crisp.
1t appears the baby escaped safely,
being carried to neighbours house
when the fire was first discovered.

THE TRUNK SEWER.

After all, the calling in of the health
committee of the general assembly TO
investigate the needs Of the Naugatuck
valley in general, and Waterbury in
particular, with regard to sewage dis
poSal may have been a needless expense.
The Ansonia Sentinel has solved the
problem to its own satisfaction and
fnds that Waterbury can dispose of its
sewage at a first cost not exceeding
$500, 900 and small annual OUTLAY. We
Grave pardon of our badly frightened
contemporary, but must have proof that
the plan it proposes is feasible before
believing that it can be dene.
Waterbury did not jump hastily at
the trunk sewer scheme. The plan was
first proposed in the DEMOCRAT two
years ago, and the Olty engineer and
special committee of the common coun-
Gil endorsed it after careful survey OF
the surroundings and investigation of
the filtration and chemical precipita-
tion systems Of sewage disposal. To
begin with, there is no place between
Waterbury and Naugatuck where suffi.
Gent area can be obtained, remote from
habitation, to carry out either of the
last named plans. Again, The expert
encs Of other cities has proven that
these methods at their best are expen.
sive to maintain, the cost in every case
increasing with the city's growth, and
give only temporary relief at best.
Worcester, Mass, where the precipitation
system was given a fair trial, has practi.
cauy nothing to show for an expert
ence representing nearly half a million
dollars, and is looking toward the ocean
forty miles away as the only relief at
hand.
Waterbury does not do things by
halves and in this matter is DESTROYS OF
settling question involving the health
Of the people of the Naugatuck valley,
for all time to come. 1t is willing to
assume large share Of the financial re.
sponsibility, and asks the other towns
interested to pay only in proportion to
the benefits they will derive. There is
no disposition on the part of the people
Of this city to attempt to railroad this
matter through the legislature. We
court a most searching investigation
II the Anronia Sentinel can show 8
better or less expensive way of re-
moving the filth from the Naugatuck
valley, that's what we are after. But re-
lief must come. If Waterbury ceases
using the Naugatuck river as dump
ing ground, every town on the rive,
must do lfkewIse.
