A Detectives Clever Ruse.

SwEDEsBoRo, Pa., Oct. 6.-Joseph Heeley of this place. was committed to the county jail by Justice Carter, of odbury yesterday, for further hearing Monday, charged with stealing a bicycle from Harry McCollister, valued at $125. Heeley left town shortly after the bicycle was missed, and Detective Garri son soon located the wheel in Philadelphia, where it had been pawned for SIS. On Friday "Garry" located Heeley on a farm in Fallsington, Pa., opr osite Trenton, and, knowing that he would perhaps have to secure requisition papers to bring Heeley into this state, he attempted several ways to get him on Jersey soil, until he finally ran across the farmer for whom Heeley worked. ''Garry" in- formed him that Heeley was wanted by the authorities, but the farmer was at first reluctant about giving Heeley up. After a time "Garry" handed the farmer some money and told him to send Heeley over to Trenton to purchase some feed, and during the afternoon "Garry" was rewarded by seeing Heeley drive up to feed store. and he was soon taken into custody.

POLICE COURT.
A Refinement of Cruelty in Louis
 Johnson's Punishment.

A Refinement of Cruelty in Louis
 Johnson's Punishment.
 The most prominent figure in police court yesterday morning was Louis Johnson, German, born In France. He had been arrested on sus- picion of hoboism. Recorder Schwartz, with purely fraternal regard, re- fused to fully entertain the charge, but he unwittingly inflicted a penalty more painful to Johnson than any other within the range of human ingenuity. Johnson was the dirtiest and raggedest specimen with which the municipality has had to deal this season.
 The recorder condemned him to leave town and with refinement of cruelty presented him piece of soap and in- structions to bathe himself at the first ditch.
 Jesusa Montijo was another prisoner. She was charged simply with drunken ness and disturbance of the peace, but was given fifty days. Behind this nominal ofense was the much more serious one of attempted arson. She had set fire to Mexican dwelling in the southwestern part of the city and the building was saved with great diff ficulty. There was no apparent motive for the crime; the woman was crazy drunk.

 Grain Ruined. It Is Fit Only for Hog and

 Now Total Loss.
By the Associated Press.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6.-An evening paper states that weevils are playing havoc with stored wheat in this part of the country, and if something is not done soon there will be no grain left with which to load the disengaged ships now in port.
 Some days ago it was publicly stated that 6,700 tons of wheat at Port Costa was weevily. and now it is announced Il ,0O0 tons at the Nevada dock and 4, 400 tons more at Port Costa are infected and will have to be removed. That makes 22, 200 tons unfit for shipment and will have to be used for pig or chicken feed.
 If the wheat had been shipped at low rates of freight in existence q few months ago small profit might have been made. Now it will be almost total lose.

Whera.to Buy aLot.

A man or woman desiring to purchase a lot either for building or speculation should consider carefully three things; convenience to the city, prospect of in- crease in value and desirability of neighborhood. All these requisites are possessed in marked degree by the Simms' Addition. It is but a few minutes walk out Center street. It is so beautifully planned and situated that as an investment it can not be
 equaled; it IS so ably and strictly man. aged that none but the best class of people will be found residing within it's precincts.
