ON THE WATER FRONT
New Piledriver at Work Landing
Wharf Piles.

The pilodriver known as "Rowell's
pet" is now thing of the past. II
has been supplanted by a much
more snbst antial machine, one guar
anteed not to capsize. "Rowell's
pet" has had a record OF four cap
sizes, during its career in the gov.
ernment service About a week ago
it was taken to the Pacific Mail
wharf, where il was relieved of the
two hundred pound hammer, engine
and ladder. The scow was taken to
Pearl harbor by a steam launch
from the L. S. S. Philadelphia, to he
used by the surveying party. A
scow belonging to the q. II. n l..
Go. has been secured aud the engine
aud piledriving apparatus put on it.
1t is now being utilized in driving
piles at the extension to the wharves
near the Fishmarket.
The liveliest place in town to-day
was presumably the city front near
the Fishmarket. There was q crowd
in the vicinity all the forenoon.

piledriver. There was another at.

Black.
1t is only within the last few years
that it has been possible for AN neXperi-
enCed person to dye a black that would
not crock, fade or wash out. Even mill
dyed black goods were rarely absolutely
fast.
The advent of three diamond dye fast
blacks, for wool, for cotton, and for
silk ana feathers, has changed all this.
Now. with IA ten cent package of one of
these dyes, the first trial gives perfect
success. The directions on the packages
are SO plain and simple that even a child
can get better results than the eX-
perienced dyer could a few years ago.
The prevailing fashion for black stock
ings, feathers, gowns, and cloaks, and
the fact that anything can be colored
with diamond dyes black that will not
crock or fade, explains their almost uni
verSal use.
The peculiar way in which the diamond
dye fast blacks are made gives them
great superiority oyer all other methods
of home dveing
There are some forty other COlorS of
diamond dyes, each of which is thorough
ly reliable, and as superior to limitations
as sunlight is to moonlight.

POST OFFICE BURGLARS CAPTURED AT.
TER TRYING TO KILL THE OFFICERS.
a gang Of four professional post-ofllce
robbers and crooks was captured last
week Thursday midway between ROch-
ester and West Rochester. in fierce
fight in which % shots were exchanged
aud two Of the gang and two officers
were seriously though not fatally
wounded The fight was one of the hot
test in Vermont in recent wears. and the
capture, everything considered. notable
one, as it is thought the burglars are part
of gang that has been operating in this
section several months.
Early Thursday morning the pOstmas-
/ ter at Ticonderoga. y. y, teegraphpd
to Deputy Sheriff Fletcher at Brandon
that the post Office there had been robbed
during the night and that the robbers,
four in number. had crossed the lake at
Larabee's Point and were evidently going
east.
About 9 o'clock four suspicious look
ing men arrived at the Brandon depot,
and the station agent at once sent word
to Sheriff Fletcher. but the men left the
station before Sheriff Fletcher arrived
and ran down the railroad track towards
Pitts ford. Sheriff Fletcher with some
men started after them and went as far
as Plttsford without getting any clue to
them.
Constable Hall was sent to Forcstdalc,
where he found that four men answering
the description of the robbers had hired
LiverNman George Slavery to take them
to Rochester. Constable Tinkham Of
Rochester was telcphoned to look out
for the gang. and he at once started OUT
kifl 81.
about half way between Rochester aud
West Rochester they met The team with
the robbers and stopped it. No sooner
had they done SO. however. than the
gang began firing on the officers with re-
volvers. and Il general fight followed
over % shots were exchanged and the
robbers gave the officers terrible fight
When ordered to surrender. one of the
gang stood up in the carriage. fired seven
shots at the officers, then jumped and
ran. but was brought down by a rifle
bullet in The arm and the whole gang
was secured.
sheriff Tinkham was injured by being
struck in the face with the butt of re-
VOlVer, and one Of the robbers was shot
twice in the ankle. Forty-iive dollars i'm
cash was found on each of three of the
men, besides large quantity of postage
stamps. Three of them are between 20
and 30 years old. Only one of them
would give his name, and that was
Frank w. Taylor, aged y years: no resi-
dcnce. DR.. Huntington OF Rochester
was called to attend the wounded men.
Officer Tinkham evidently had mar
row escape. as bullet dropped out of
his coat when he removed it in the eve
ming.
The gang came as far as Leicester
Junction Thursday morning on hand
car and then walked to Brandon. and
about Il mile south left the track and
took the road to Forestdale. They shot
five times at the night operator at ricon-
deroga. but did not hit him
The gang are now IN the house of cor
rectiou at Rutland 1t has not been de-
cidcd Where they will be tried.
