A Trio of Youthful Offenders Caught
Red Handed by Policemen Shields and
Mclaughlin.
A trio Of youthful offenders were in
municipal court on Monday to answer
the charge of entering the Chinese laundry
of Hop Wah, Taylor and Kirkwood
streets, in the night time with burglarious
intent. Patrolmen James G. Shields and
John Mclaughlin appeared as the prose-
cutting witnesses in the case. They were
patroling their district about SIS O'clock
sunday evening when their attention was
attracted by noise which came from the
interior of the laundry. Shields made an
Investigation and found the window of
the laundry lie crawled through the
window and almost stumbled against
Burnham and Lewis, who were imme-
diately placed under arrest
Meantime, Mclaughlin, who was guard
ing the rear of the entrance, came to the
window and Shields assisted the burglars
to get out, The policemen then marched
them off TO the patrol booth from which
place they were sent to the City Hall.
They were examined by Captain Kane,
Detective Witsil and Police Sergeant
WEIGH.
In municipal court Monday morning the
prisoners were given hearing. Hop Wah
testified that he was informed of the rob-
pSAD Suiidnf bifits LAO " as obODpsAE az ALlC
house of Hop Lee, and when informed of
the depreciation, he went at once to his
laundry. He says he has been robbed of
$52 in money. He declares the greenbacks
We're in the house when he left at noon
Sunday, but he is unable to find the
money now and thinks it has been stolen.
The policemen who searched the would
be burglars say that no money was found
on their clothing.
After City Solicitor Elliott had put in
his case Monday morning, Hill called his
mother, Mrs. Susan Hill, to the stand, who
testified that he came home about S.35
o'clock Sunday evening, and was not out of
the house after that. According to the
evidence of the policemen the burglary
was committed prior to that time. Hill
finally admitted that he was the man who
stood on the ontside while his companions
were ransacking the laundry. He said that
all three of them planned the robbery at
8 o'clock Sunday morning. and that he
agreed to keep watch while the deprcda-
ton was being committed.
There was nothing left for Judge Ball to
do but hold the prisoners for the upper
court Bail in the sum of 81, 900 was asked.

TALK ABOUT PEACHES.
The Outlook 80 Far is Said To be Very
Encouraging for IA Good Yield of That
FruIf.

The Outlnuk so Far is Said To be Very
Encouraging for n Good Yield of That
Fruit.
Special Correspondence of Gazette and journal
FELTON,, Feb. 2l.--'rhe cold weather of
the past few weeks has caused the farmers
and fruit growers of this neighborhood to
entertain strong hopes of crop of peaches
and other fruits this season, and the sub.
ject Is being discussed among those inter-
ested to very considerable extent Just
now. The outlook is, without a doubt,
very encouraging, and those who are in a
position to know from observations as we'll
as experience i'll yeaB past. agree that the
prospects for good yield are better than
for several seasons.
One of the best.known farmers in the
neighborhood, and one who has had ex-
perience in peach culture, told the writer
to-day that he fully expected good crop
of that fruit if the late frosts do not injure
the buds: and this is not probable, as the
buds have not begun to swell yet, and
will not so long as the nights remain cold.
OF late years the weather has been warm
enough before the middle of February to
swell the buds, and they have almost in
variably succumbed 10 frosts and snow
which come later on. In 1891, by the 10th of
February the peach buds were almost
ready to burst open, but their fate was
sealed by snow and frost which came after
that time, and the experience in seasons
before and since that year have taught us
that when the buds are opened by the
warm weather Of the second month they
have very bare chance of maturing.
There are thousands Of young trees in
the neighborhood of Felton, which are in
n perfectly healthy condition, and which
are now just about the best age to bear
good crops; and their owners are anxiously
hoping that kind providence will permit
them to harvest a big crop OF peaches this
year at paying price. Wherever the yell
lows disease has shown itself the owners
have been very careful to have the bad
trees removed, and most of the orchards
are in fairly healthy condition. 1t is q
singular fact that in some orchards the
trees have suffered considerably from this
apparently incurable disease, while in
others scarcely mile distant the trees
have never shown any signs OF being
diseased, and are all in healthy state.
From now on the people of the lower part
OF the State, and particularly of this
neighborhood, will pay strict attention to
the weather, and hope that 1T may be
favorable to q good peach CROP
