Captain Cox After the Tough Gang
at Marion.

For some weeks past complaints have
been pouring in to the Seventh precinct
police station about the gangs that infest
the Marion section every Sunday, and
not only raise a racket and violate the
Sunday law in numerous ways but also
threaten, insult and in some instances
assault passers-by. Captain Cox has de-
termined to abate the nuisance. The
gangs announced that they will do"
any policeman that interferes with them.
week ago yesterday Roundsman Sheri-
dan and Patrolman Tent interfered with
some of them and were set upon by
the gang They were roughly used, and
it was only through hard fighting, with
the assistance OF some law-abdlnS clti-
zens, that they escaped serious injury.
Yesterday afternoon Captain Cox went to
Marion himself and took nine policemen
with him The toughs, however, had
got wind of his plans, and everything
was quiet and peaceable. Captain Coz

BUNOOED MR.. WOOD.
He Loans a Stranger Money on BOG
Diamonds.

A man representing himself as ]. T..
Bailey, of Madison avenue, on Friday
night last swindled James H. Wood, of
Wood Bros, Crescent and Monticello
avenues, out of 80. He induced Mr..
Wood to believe that he was a customer
of his. He inquired the home address of
a pawn broker of the name of Meyer.
When Wood told him he knew of no
such man, the supposed Mr.. Bailey told
him a very plausible story and asked
him to lend him SO, for which he would
pay him Sc on the next day. He wanted
the money to get his brother out of a
scrape. He represented himself as a
bookmaker, probably to account for the
f1ashy diamonds he wore. He took off a
ring and stud and offered them as Sc
curity. He said they were genuine dia-
monds and worth $185.
Mr. Wood finally agreed to let him have
the money, but not until he had scratched
the glass with the diamonds to prove
them bona fide. He hasn't seen the man
since. The diamonds" are worth 35
cents. He describes the swindler as a
tall, thin, smooth faced individual. He
wore black overcoat, light trousers and
a light derby hat

ANARCHIsTIG SOLDIERS.
Details of the wholesale Arrests in
Berlin-Troops SulIen.

BERLIN, Oct. l, 1894.-Authentic de-
tails of the arrest of 1888 non-commission-
ed officers in the training school in the
Inyaliden Strasse on Saturday night
greatly modified the gravity of the affair.
According to this later information,
shortly after roll call Saturday night the
non-commissionedo officers were assembled
in the yard of the training school, when
Major Won Stettin, Director of the School,
surrounded by officers, proceeded to ad-
minister a severe reprimand to them for
their lampoonfng of certain officers and
institutions. While the Major was speak
ing a window in the school building
was thrown open and a pupil whom the
officer failed to identify shouted 'Lebe
Anarchie." Major Won Stettin demanded
the name of the culprit, but everyone in
the yard refused to betray his identity.
Subsequently the personal effects of
all the students We're examined, and a
quantity of socialistic. pamphlets and
other literature was found. A committee
of inquiry was Immediately formed and
summoned the chiefs of the political
police. The Adjutant Commander Gen
eral also communicated at once with the
Emperor, who is at Rominten, and all
the members of the school were ordered
to remain in their rooms pending the
receipt of orders as to the course to be
pursued. number of the pupils went
to bed at the usual hour, but many of
them decided not to retire until Informed
Of the disposition to be made of them.
Some time later a telegram was receiv-
ed from Emperor William, in which his
Majesty directed that summary meas
ures be adopted. In accordance with
these instructions, shortly before mid
night, battalion of the Guards each
man of which was supplied with fifteen
ball cartridges, was marched to the
school and surrounded the buildings. Ma
jor Won Stettin ordered that all the pupils
file into the school yard without wea-
pons. When all were assembled he ad-
dressed them saying:-"From this mo-
ment consider yourselves prisoners in
preventive custody Those of you who
attempt any resistance must be prepared
for the most serious consequences"
Then turning to the troops and speak
ing in a louder tone. he ordered them to
shoot down any of the prisoners who
attempted to escape. The men silently
submitted to their arrest and at once
took their departure for Magdeburg
under guard of the soldiers.
After they had gone it was found that
several of the pupils had been missing
from roll-call, but these were all arrested
later. During the course of Sunday
twenty soldiers belonging to the different
regiments were taken into custody on
suspicion of being connected with the
pupils, and they, too, were sent to Magde
burg.
1t is now learned that the first arrest
was made on Tuesday last, when a
Sergeant of the training school was
the school profess to believe that the
prisoners have no connection with any
revolutionary party. The remaining two
hundred and twenty pupils, who were
not arrested, have been sent back to their
respective regiments and the school has
been closed until the cases of the ar
rested pupils are tried.

with sneer on her face as though to
show her contempt for him. She told
her story in straightforward way and
with an English accent. She said
