Remarkable Plot to Liberate Prisone
Revealed In Court.

Remarkable Plot to Liberate . Prisoner
Revealed In Court.
A middle aged man calling himself
Henry Bresiing went to Jefferson Mar
ket court and told Justice Koch that his
sister-in-law. Miss Emma de Fontane,
had been arrested and sent up for two
months. He asserted that she was a
good woman and that mistake had
been made. When asked for the date of
the arrest, he produced the following let
ter:
MY DEAR FRIEND am sorry to tell you
that have been arrested and was sentenced
to two months or 500 bail. I was arrested
with other women. The rest got six months.
/ now remind you that you often told me you
would help me. Get some one to go bail for
me. You know my bail is only straw bail, ~
and you could get any one to go on the bond
Ii you go to Judge Koch and tell him you are
my uncle, and that am hard working de-
cent woman, and give him good game Of
talk, you will have no trouble. One of the
women who got six months with me is out.
Her friend went to the alderman of the ward,
and he fixed it. Come with the discharge
yourself, and on the spot ! will give you the
price of q suit of clothes.
When the justice had read the letter,
he looked at the man and said indignant
ly, "If you are In this courtroom in 10
seconds, you will go to the island your
self" The fellow made quick time for
the door.-New York Press.

nIcyIahon's Simplicity,

The French cynics never knew just
what to make of Marshal McMahon's
simplicity and candor. Once while he
was president the council of ministers
were divided ON question in the affirm
ative side of which McMahon himself
felt the deepest interest. When they
came to vote on it, they found them
selves tied-fve voting "aye" and five
no" well, gentlemen" said the pres
ident, with a sigh, Il confess l am sor-
ry, but the motion is lost"
His five opponents exulted in their vic
tory. His five associates looked respect
fully astonished, but said nothing. After
the meeting one of the latter called the
president aside. IN. le president" he
whispered, "we were amazed at the re-
suit of that vote, but held our peace out
Of regard for you. We had supposed
that you were of the same mind with
ourselves"
$50 l am" answered MacMahon,
heartily"
'Then why did you not assert your
right and cast the decisive vote?"
Upon my faith," exclaimed the hon.

Her brown hair pencils it with ripples faint,
There is no shadow on l. and no light:
Her cheeks are pale. like lilies IL eclipse;
Hardly little redness on her lips
Paints the sad smile where al the rest is
white.
Tall is she and bent forward Ike reed
Which the wind toys With as she walks with
speed;
Girllike her limbs and virginal her waist:
OF the world wonders there is none so sweet
As is the summer lightning of her feet.
Speeding her onward like a fawn in haste.
What Is her secret? All the world has tried
To guess it. One knew in guessing died
And was no wiser for his mortal pain.
Each has turned sadder from the thankleSs
quest
And gone back silent, even if he guessed.
Knowing all answer would be counted vain.

Our eyes meet sometimes, but hers turn away
Quicker from mine than from the rest that

Her pale cheek Quivers, flush comes and

As in the presence of soul that knows,
And her hands tighten on her missal book
Men have done evil, yet have won TO heaven;
Lived in blood outlines, yet died forgiven.

Auntie's Ignorance.

Orders had been given to the police
man to arrest all mendicants whom they
found in the streets. In obedience to his
instructions Nineteenth district police
man took into custody an old colored
woman whom he found soliciting aims
at Eighth and Chestnut streets. When
she arrived at the station house. the SER
geant in charge looked at her over the
desk in surprise. She was old. and her
hair had faded to gray, but l-r eyes
shone brightly. She made queer little
bow and said, Good even, mas'r."
After ''auntie" had given her name,
the police official asked her age.
Laws sake, dom know. Been putty
long ago since my nanny tol me. l
clean gone fo'get." She SMILED, and so
did he.
"Are you married or single?"
81 dom know" came the answer. The
sergeant looked up dumfounded.
"You don't know" queried he.
"Umpum," said she, shaking her head.

! Hand Car Ran Away Down q Steep
Mountain. and Two Men Were Killed.
A thrilling ride down the mountain ON
|, ,runaway hand car, a broken axle, and
seven men were flung from the track at
q curve down ravine 30 feet deep. Two
were killed outright, and the other five
sustained serious injuries.
Early in the morning Frank Eek, track
foreman on the Lehigh Valley railroad,
Meadow for Halle Creek on hand car.
The road down the mountain has pitch
of 80 feet to the mile and is skirted by
deep ravines. There are numerous small
bridges that span torrent eaten abysses,
and sharp curves are plentiful.
Four stout men seized the handles that
work the machinery, aud the car started
down the road at keen pace. The air was
frosty, and The rails were slippery. The
momentum that the brawny arms at the
pumps gave the car, added TO the incline,
made the human freighted vehicle fairly
spin. When half way over the journey,
the brake block snapped asunder. Thlre
was now no way to check the flying cars
speed. On it rushed. and around curves
it sped. The men were alarmed and en-
deavored to slacken the speed, but they
could not accomplish much. They tried
to stop the wheels by holding the handles
of the pump machine, but that failed.
Suddenly they dashed around a short
curve where a high precipice yawns be-
low. They were in sight of th) Black
Creek station, and they thought { ne op-
orator might help them.
At that moment an axle, overburdened
by the terrific run. broke down and the

BURGLARS, TOOLS IN SECTIONS.
They Are Thus Made to Conceal Their
Real PURPOSES.

They Are Thus Made to Conceal Their
Real Purposes.
To the eye of an honest man no tool is
a burglars tool Were he TO find a most
approved kit, he would merely think
that a mechan had lost his stock In
trade. Drills. punches, bits and ordi-
nary jimmies have each almost a coun-
terpart in open daylight work, and only
to the sophisticated would it appear that
the bits of steel were implements of
crime To those who know, the two
distinctive burglars tools are the sec
tional jimmy and nippers, the first being
steel bar so arranged that it can be un-
screwed into several pieces for conven-
fence In carrying.
The other is like pair of curling
tongs, the clutching end being armed
with little teeth, and is used for turning
keys in doors from the outside. The
manufacture Of these tools is not, as has
been supposed, confined exclusively TO
any set of men. A burglar, desirous of
obtaining kit, will go to hardware
store and purchase drills, brace and bits,
punches and wedges, these latter being
in series, from those the thinness of a
knife blade to others the thickness of
ones hand. This assortment of seeming
ly innocent tools he takes to mechanic,
with instructions to temper them to q
certain hardness. To another black
smith he goes, and drawing diagram
has piece of iron made in accordance.
Still another makes him second part,
and finally the thief has drag" the
most powerful and perhaps the most
useful tool, from his standpoint, that can
be used in opening a safe. 1t consists of
q long screw, with simple iron braces to
be attached by link to the knob of the
door.
A hole is bored through the front of
the safe by means of bit, block is ad-
justed on the inside, and ON this is placed
the point of the screw. which is turned
by a crank. AS the screw revolves it
penetrates farther and farther until the
back is reached. Then, as the tremen-
dous pressure continues, something has
to give, the front generally being ripped
out.
This apparatus, in addition to its SIM
plicity and quick work, has the advan-
tage of being Observation-Disclosures
