Robbed a Church with Fly Paper.



A new use for fly paper was discovered
by the Cottage Grove avenue police yes
terday when they arrested John Berger
at St. James Catholic church.
For some time Father Mcclure has no.
ticed that the poor boxes placed at the
church door were not yielding as much
money as formerly. On one occasion one
of the boxes was broken and its con-
tents taken, but the manner of the later
robberies was not discovered until yester-
day.
John Hogan and John Kenneally consti-
tuted themselves a committee to ferret
out the culprit. They kept strict watch
of the boxes yesterday, and when they
saw Berger lingering suspieiously near
one of them they notified the police sta
ton and officers were sent to the church.
The front door and rear entrances We're
guarded and an officer went inside to ar
rest Berger. The latter, when he saw the
officer, ran into the priests house, where
he was caught. He tried to throw away
a large piece of fly paper but was pre-
vented. In his pocket was SLIGO in small
change all the pieces of money being COW
cred with the sticky gum from the paper.
Berger's scheme to beat the box was to
insert a long narrow strip of the sticky
paper in the narrow slit in the box and
pull it out with several coins adhering
to the gum.

THE ENGINEERS STORY.
How Train Load of Passengers
Were Saved From AnnihiIatfon.

From the Washington Star
There was broad, red scar above his
temple that all the SCOT Of thousand
runs could never cover up. The edges of
it were ragged and angry looking. and
there were light streaks in the center that
showed the bone beneath was but skin
film covered. He raised a blackened and
brawny hand to his head when he saw a
reporter for the Star looking at it.
That was a crack from a mail crane d,
he said simply. 4 was running 7O7 that
night and there We're ten cars behind me.
Six Of EN- were coaches packed to the
DOORS"
He stopped for moment and looked over
toward the round house with something
like a shudder.
L hate to think of that night. Not on
account Of this crack" he added hastily:
of course, it was pretty bad but l got
over il all right, and it don't bother me
much except in bad weather. Then il aches
and jumps like-wel like itself: there's
nothing else to compare it with that I
know of. What l mean is" he continued
that / hate to think of that night be-
cause of the half a hairs breadth that
saved three HUNDRED souls from eternity

had been mix-up on the main division
between a freight and hand car. and a
couple OF rails had been knocked loose.

How the Ping yang gate Wa. Opened
From the Buffalo Enquirer.

An exhibition of courage was given by
an infantryman at the storming of the
Gemmun Gate at Ping-Gang. Here the
thick stone walls proved impervious to
japanese shot and shell, and after two
fruitless assaults it was decided to try
some other method. Lieut.. Mimura volun-
teered to open the gate single-handed, but
Private Harada stepped out and said he
would follow along and help. Both men
then ran for corner of the gateway Y.
while their comrades diverted the atten-
ton of the Chinese defenders by keeping
up a hot fusilade Mmura and Harada
clambered quickly up the face of the wall
by placing their hands and feet in the
chinks between the stones. They succeed
ed in reaching the top without being seen
by the Chinese, who were busy blazing
away al the main body of the enemy. and
then jumped down and rushed for the in
side gate. They had to cut their wav
through a horde of Cinnamon as soon
as they had gotten inside the town: bu,
they finally beat them off, and threw the
bolts of the heavy gates, that We're AZ
once showed in by the attacking force our.
side. Both Lieut.. Mimura and Private
Harada were promoted the next day.

AIR LOCOMOTIVES
Another New Competitor of the
Steam Locomotive and of Electric
From the Philadelphia. Press


From the Philadelphia Press.
Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. S.-Two pneumatic
locomotives were shipped from here last
Friday, one to Alaska and the other to
British Guiana, both to be used in gold
mines.
In appearance these machines are very
odd. They consist principally of two huge
cylinders, in which the compressed air
used for motive power is stored. pneu-
matte locomotive looks like a pair of i'm
mense cannon mounted on wheels. The
cylinders are seventeen feet long, mount
ed side by side. Those shipped Friday
have a capacity of 100 cubic feet, and are
provided with reducing valves which de-
liver the air to the cylinders at any pres
sure desired, from 100 to fourteen pounds
which can be varied instantly as desired
The engine is only five feet high and
weighs 1880 pounds.
The idea of utilizing compressed air for
such purposes is not a new one, but its
successful application is new, at least in
this country. The mines of the Susque-
hanna Coal Company, at Glen Lyon, in
Luzerne county have been fitted with the
pneumatic machines, and their work is at
tracing marked attention from large us.
ers of locomotive machinery
In mine working the compressed air To-
connective has distinct advantage over
one driven by steam. The use of the lat
ter is generally impossible on account
of the danger from fire and sparks and
the difficulty of getting rid of the smoke
The compressed air engine is not entirely
free from these objections, but really aids
ventilation to some extent, the exhaust
from the cylinders furnishing an appreci-
able addition to the supply of pure air in
the galleries.
But the use of the compressed air loco
motives is not TO be confined to mines.
1t is claimed that under many conditions
it is preferable to the electric motor or
the steam locomotives. 1t is soon to have
a trial in New Orleans. The Delta Com
pany of that city has placed an order
with a Pittsburg firm. They intend to
use the air locomtive in their yards ana
on the wharves for hauling bales of cot
ton, for which purpose the sparks of a
steam engine would furnish an element
of danger. If it proves successful there it
will materially widen its sphere of use
fulness. There is a broad field before if
and there seems no reason why il should
not be adapted to use on traction or pas
senger roads.
Its projectors, however, are very con-
sentative in their claims. They do not
think the new engine will at once reyo
lutionize existing traction systems. Il
needs a thorough trial. On heavy grades
for instance, its efficiency has net been
tested. The cost of operation in long
distance haulage, compared with other svs
TENS, has also not been fully determined

A GOOD BEGINNING.

Aside from the fact that Seattle is TO be
congratulated on having a distinguished
educator like President Jordan appear
here on the lecture platform. 1t is partic-
ularly gratifying 10 observe the very
worthy attempt OF the Young Natural
ist Society to inaugurate a series of lect-
ures. which. although on scientific topics
exclusively. will nevertheless prove 10 be
interesting. entertaining and abundantly
profitable 10 those who listen to them. 1t
is move which should have been made
long ago. In the midst of the struggles,
cares and worries OF making a living,
when our thoughts are perhaps turned
too much on material things, the ten
dency in a new country is to lose sight OF
the necessity OF keeping touch with the
advanced thought OF the day. Systematic
intellectual growth and development
should not. however. cease on leaving the
college or seminary door. Our interest in
history. art. biography. travel. literature
and science should not be entirely smoth-
cred by the more pressing exigencies OF
professional or business life.
There is. perhaps. no better means Of
maintaining a healthy, progressive intel
lectual movement than the popular lect-
ure. In certain sections of our country.

THE BRAVE YOUNG REsCrER.

Port Townsend. June s. 1896
To the Editor: While waiting here on
board the City of Topeka, bound for Ju-
neau, Alaska, for the arrival of the Mex
leo. / was fortunate enough TO get the
Seattle papers. each giving an account Of
the little girl falling IN the water from the
ocean dock, and the brave manner in
which the young man come TO the rescue.
Your account of the incident is substan-
TALLY correct. 1t was brave,' noble,
generous act and promptly carried out,
and while 1t should be made a burlesque
TO my disadvantage / can not compre-
bend. The account in the paper is as &C
cumstances. After the brave young gen.
tleman had brought the little girl safely
10 the dock and saw her placed in car
riage, / stepped up to him and we shook
hands. and | left s. bill in his hand.
which he refused with a blush, making
the remark that he did not wish pay for
what he had done, and l simply answered.
Take II, young man, not from fun
purse, but from a father. and If you ever
have to. do the same brave deed again.
He then accepted il and We again shook
hands and each went our way. May God
bless that young man and may Seattle con-
tain many more like him. have been
made by another paper to appear as a
bully and a brute. forcing a gift on him
under penalty of being thrown overheard
by me If he would not accept the money.
Such proceeding never happened and he
will bear me out in the statement.
