gagged by Schah to prosecute the case,

who had hold Of him al the time he
was knocked down and robbed, but as

in the saloon before he went out and at
the time be exposed the money. He
also stated that he tried to resist when

A BAD BENwOOD GANG.
A Nest Of Young Thieves Unearthed by
Marshal Cooke.

A Nest Of Young Thieves Unearthed by
MARSHAL Cooke.
From time to time the REGISTER has
made known the fact the Benwood was
infested with thieves. 1t has now been
made public who the thieves are.
Monday Marshal Louis Cooke, Of the
Benwood police force, searched two
tunnels on the hillside, 10 a portion OF
the town known as Kentucky
Heights" aud in these caves were
stored silverware, towels, clothing, etc,
which the gang had stolen. The tun-
mel were occupied by about a dozen Of
the boys of Benwood, averaging in age
about thirteen yeaes. 10 one OF them
was q cooking stove, and all the outfit
OF "dime novel; gang. In a con-
spjcuOds place in the cave was hung a
portrait of Wheeling Republican poll
ticians. The marshal took the plumber,
which made nearly wagon load, to the
City building, and called for the per-
sons who had been robbed recently to
call and identify their property Many
called and identified their goods.
Some time ago two boys of Bynwood,
a bundle OF keys. They were suspected,
aud were arrested, and taken TO Ben
wood, but as there was 40 direct evil
dence against them, they were dismiss
ed. This incident gave the clue to the
searching OF the tunnel Monday, and
the arrest of the ringleaders. Marshall
Cooke found sufficient evidence for the
arrest Of Lawrence Pearl and Charles
Kouch, boys aged not over thirteen,
who proved TO be the leaders of the
thieves. They were taken TO the Ben
wood lookup where they are yet con-
fined. It is probable that they will be
released as those stolen from do not
seem anxious 70 prosecute the boys

A history Of the robberies the gang
b Committed within the last six weeks
would FIJI a column. II was their game
70 get into q house, and on leaving
would take the door key. This &C
counts for the large bundle Of keys
found. They stole four dozen towels
from SAN Smith, the barber; they en-
tered Frank Porterfeld's kitchen, aud
took valuable silverware. Michael
Dolan's grocery was robbed OF large
amount Of provisions. John Bernhardt's
residence was robbed, with several
others. The gang is also credited with
having robbed a large number OF
chicken roosts recently. The articles
found were nearly valueless, being
rusted and damaged.
II is probable that more OF the gang
will be located, and there stalk Of
sending the boys TO the Reform school,
The entrance to the tunnel was so
small that il was necessary for the
marshal 70 get down on his hands and
knees 10 enter. but when once In good
sized rooms we're found.

months considering the general oepres-
Sion.
As the REGISTER stated yesterday
morning, there was meeting held yes
terday afternoon st the lower Benwood
mill, between President Russell Hub
bard and the puddlers, with view Of
arranging matters to put the mill IN
operation. Judging from the result OF
the conference. the pudding depart
ment of the mill is to remain idle inde-
fnitely. A more anxious lot OF men to
go to work than they were could not
we'll be imagined. The conference was
called for o'clock in the afternoon,
and early in the morning the idle men
began to gather az the works. When
the president arrived, there were fully
200 persons there. A delegation
from the Workmen was sent 70 the Mill
office TO meet Mr.. Hubbard. DE Of
fered them 81 a ton for pudding. The
committee inquired II the work would
be permanent. As steady work could
not be assured, the men decided to
stand for the Amalgamaled price,
which is 81. IS ton for pudding. The
conference then ended. Out Of tho
sixty puddlers present, hut four were
In favor Of going to work for 81 ton.
Finally Mr.. Hubbard stated that II
within the next thirty days the men
wished to confer with him, they would
be given a hearing. TIE mill has not
run since last Christmas, and the pres
ent outlook for an early resumption is
gloomy. The mill employs ESQ persons
when on in full.

A special telegram TO the REGISTER
from Marietta states that Capt. j. Nj.
Gamble yesterday sold the steamer Sun
shine to the White Collar line. Consider
alton private. Capt. CANDLES reason for
selling the boat was that she was too
large for the Wheeling and Parkers-
burg trade. Ever since the boat was

| Trajectory rumors haVe Oeeu duoht Ie-
garding the intentions OF her owner.
The latest rumor was that Capt. Muhle-
man and Capt. Gamble would place
the packet In the Cincinnati and Pitts
burg trade, 10 competition with the
regular packet line. The steamer was
too large, and Capt. CANDLES invest
ment too heavy to justify him In con-

new, spendldly equipped, and one OF
