The same thing may be said of Officer
Joseph, who did his best to arrest the
thieves. But he, as we'll as Fitzgerald,
is hardly in a position to identity the
prisoners as the men who committed the
robbery. as they at no time got much
more than rear, an imperfect view In the
darkness, of the retreating bandits.
The police are strong in their belief tnat
Patrick WEIGH, the man with the red
mustache, is the leader OF the robbers.
The fellow is not favored with pacific
looks and he has the tough way of q har-
dened case. He claims to be able to prove
an abb, and, in his own way of showing
it before number of detectives yesterday,
he tossed out half-dollar piece, saying:
"There you are; go pay for the telegram
and III prove to you ducks I've got an
alibi."
He went no further, however, when
questioned at that time, receding into his
shell as a snail might, realizing there was
danger ahead.
In their drag-net system the police
gathered in fourth man named Johnson,
but yesterday he was fully able to estab-
lish his whereabouts at the time Of the
robbery. He, as well as number Of
others, was turned loose
At low tide yesterday Detectives Gibson
and Cody patrolled and searched the beach
for the Winchester rifles which the rob-
bers carried, and which it is believed they
cast into the beach after using them to
intimiuate and wound their victims.

Found a Remarkable Fossil.

One of the most curious carboniferous
fossils ever found in that part of the an
thracite coal fields was discovered in the
Dodge mine, of Scranton, the other day
by John B. Davis, miner living on Belle
vue street. 1t was the head and neck of a
woman's figure, the features being regular
and clearly defined. The fossil weighs
sixty-6ve pounds and is composed of fire
clay. 1t is twenty-four inches high, four
teen inches from the tip Of the nose to the
back of the head, and the neck is nine
inches in diameter. The convolutions on
the top of the head resemble curls of hair,
and they end in knot such as is worn at
present in arranging the hair, the miner
found it embedded in solid piece of fire
clay, and it dropped out entire when the
chunk was broken.-Philadelp Press.

A Rheumatic,s Museum.

A Fifteenth Ward man, who has been q
lifelong sufferer from rheumatism, has a
queer collection of alleged "cures" ar
ranged in a neat cabinet. One shelf is de-
voted to series of small, wrinkled objects,
which look and feel like large pebbles.
They are not pebbles, however, but pota-
toes which have become almost petrified
thro ugh being carried long time in the
pocket of the rheumatic gentleman. Each
potato is marked with a small label bear
ing some such inscription as this: Carried
from November II, 1878, to May Is. 1880.
Very efficacious.' The collector claims
that the potato carried in the trousers
pocket has proved to be the best of many
remedies he has ever tried. He carries one
potato until the return of his rheumatic
twinges seem to testify to the decline OF
the tuber's curative properties. Then he
takes a new potato and locks the old one
up in his cabinet. On the other shelves
of the cabinet are several shriveled horse
chestnuts, string of am Der beads, dried
up rabbits foot, the right foot of an EAST
Sho' Crow numb er of iron finger rings,
few horseshoe nails and several other
odds and ends. -'All these things seem to
have given more or less relief" says the
collector.-Philadelph Record.

WERE MARRIED IN HASTE,
James Nolan Makes Pretty Miss
Pauline Foster His
Bride.
A Priest Would Not Perfo the Gore.
mony so a Justice of the Peace
Was Called On.

James Nolan, the 23-year-old son of P.
T. Nolan. the shoe-dealer. was married by
Justice of the Peace Kerrigan yesterday to
Miss Pauline Foster, the handsome 49,
year-old ward of Captain Madison.
The young couple were known to be
very fond of each other, but slight differ
ence in religious belief and their youth
made those most interested in their
welfare frown somewhat upon the idea of
a marriage for some years to come, and
for some time the young people apparently
needed the advice given them.
Recently, however, young Nolan became
impatient at the delay, and, as his lady
love was of legal age and willing, decided
to take the matter in his own hands and
marry before obstacles could be thrown in
the way. He therefore procured mar
rage license in the regular way and called
at the home of the priest of Western
Addition parish and asked that the cere-
m ony be performed without delay.
The difference in belief stood in the way,
however, and the priest told him that he
must first obtain a special dispensaiion
from Archbishop Riordan. This would
take time, however, and not desiring to
risk being separated from his prospective
bride, a Justice marriage was decided on.
Justice Kerrigan soon tied the knot AID
the newly married ones breathed sim ul-
taneous sigh of relief as the words 81 pro-
nounce You man and wife" were uttered.
After sending messages to the guardian
of the young lady and to the parents of the
groom, telling of the course they had
taken, marriage feast was partaken OF at
fashionable restaurant and a theater
party for the evening arranged. Mrs. Nolan
has been known on the streets of this City
for some time as one of the most fashionabiy
dressed ladies who appear on pleasant
afternoons, and has been admired by all for
her handsome face and graceful carriage.
The groom has been employed in his
fathers establishment for several years
past. Parental forgiven ess is expected.

THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT OF THEIR Gull 7,

The story they tell corroborates, to a very
great extent what Gardiner told the cap
tain yesterday.
1t is to the effect that Middlemiss and
WEIGH told Gardiner to inquire from the
conductor at what time the last car would
O'Clock then, and the conductor answered
that the last car would not leave before
1890 o'clock that night.
That's fine," spoke out Gardiner in a
loud-toned voice; 1--WE can have all the
time we want to sit in the sand and wait"
The other two men punched Gardiner in
the ribs to make him quit his prattle. but
he continued talking in maudlin way,
and no more attention was paid to him by
the conductor.
These employees of the railroad have been
down to see and have identified the three
men in the Jail as the ones on their car.
now it remains to be seen whether the
conductor and driver OF the car that was
held up will be able TO do likewise.
For some reason or other the two last
mentioned car company men have not been
able to see the prisoners. They dropped
in at the New City Hall once, but Captain
Lees was out at the time looking up the
case, and it was probably deemed advisable
by his subordinates before subjecting the
prisoners to the test. To-day, however,
the parties will be brought together.
1t is out of the question to bring Cashier
Clark and the prisoners to meeting.
Clark is in a very bad way. The opera
ton performed on his foot, following the
severe wounding and the SCATTERING of the
bone, has caused a terrible shock and a
general breaking up.
As the thing stands now the man who
showed the most grit and who, after being
so painfully wounded, directed his asso-
ciates to save the coin bag, is as helpless
and as weak as babe.

A Night Raid by Deputy Fish
Commissioners in Rus.
sian River.
RECEIVED WITH RIFLE SHOTS
During Their Trip They Captured
Number of Nets Loaded
, With Fish.

Last week three fishers went sailing
after fishermen. They were Deputy Fish
Commissioners AL Wilson and Manuel
Cross and CALL reporter. who went
along to see how the official fishers OF men
round in their catch.
The scene of their angling was Russian
River, between Duncans Mills and the
sea, and the time was night so moonless
and starless that the darkness OF it had a
specific gravity and was so "thick" that it
sgot stuck in your windpipe and strangled
you." The quotation is from an observa-
ton made by Wilson, who is an authority
on fish raids and black nights.
A gang of railroad hands and lumber
men had just cut the big sandDar at the
mouth of the stream and let the backed-up
waters of the Russian out into the ocean.
But they let in from the sea thousands
and thousands of steelheads who had
been waiting out in the breakers for a
fresh-water excursion.
II tell you," said Deputy Cross, as they
were preparing to push off in their boat,
when the steelhead wants to go anywhere
his desire is equal to a whole page OF
CALL wants. The harder the travelling is
the more anxious he is to be on the road.
and he will strike out, though he knows a
dozen nets are hung across the stream for
an especial occasion, and he is that occa-
sion. You should have seen those salmon
out in the ocean waiting for the men TO
dig out that sandbar. They houndered
and fought in the shallow water to get
close to the breach when it would be
made, and often the little waves would
wash them up on the beach. Wilson had
to stand with a broom for three hours
sweeping them back in the water to save
their lives. And when the imprisoned
! river began to to rush out through the cut
that crowd of steelheads came up that
swift current just like drove of cattle.
'sThev walked all over each other in
their eagerness to get into the still water
and now the river near the ocean is
jammed with fish. But we are not after
the fish this bleak night
The deputies know well that the fact OF
the lower river being full of steelheads
was not unknown to the fishermen who
love nothing on earth so well as catching
fish out of season when the sun has gone
down, and consequently the illicit nets
would be quietly and darkly immeshing
the fnny wards of the State.
The three men took their places In the
boat and began to feel their way down the
river. The great dusky hills on the banks
threw their shadows-if anything could
make shadow in that blacklist of nights
down on the water and every object pres
ent was lost in obscurity as palpable as a
block of carbon. Wilson took the oars.
Gross sat in the bow as lookout. Per-
haps it is a mockery to call him "look-
out, for nothing but visual inspiration or
occult power could pierce the gloom that
closed in about them. So Gross simply
sat in the bow and amused himself push
ing the boat off the sandbanks, logs and
other distractions which they ran into
ever on an average of twice per minute the
| whole night long. He had rude hook

cause the matter OF naturalization was ex-
clusively within Federal control. Judge
Morrow's language was: persons of the
Monaghan race under American law could
at no time become naturalized. This was
the view held by Judge SAWYER in the case
of All Yup. Congress intended to exclude
Mongolians."
Judge Sawyer contended that the ex-
clusion act meant to deprive them of the
privilege of citizenship; In fact, Congress
has gone far enough to expressly state in
the act of 1882 that no State court or court
of the United States shall admit Chinese
to citizenship. at is therefore, said
Judge Morrow, son this ground that the
New jersey court had no right to natural
ize Gee Hop and that his certificate of
citizenship is void on the face of il"
AS to the passport. the court remarked
that it was not evidence that the plaintiff
was a citizen of this country. Judge
Thompson of the Supreme Court has
already decided upon this point. 1t is
understood, as a matter of practice, that
some evidence of citizenship is required
passport, says the learned Judge. This,
however, is discretionary with him. There
is no law of the United States governing
passports anyway.
This decision will not only cover Chi
nese, but Japanese as we'll. ''All Mongo-
llans" is the language OF the opinion.
The Gee Hop case is one of three which
have been engaging Judge Morrow's at
tention for some time. 1t was not the
most important, but was important
enough. The particular case upon which
the Department of Justice at Washington,
several local attorneys and a large num-
Der of politicians have concentrated their
attention is that of Wong Kim AK. In
this case the question to be decided is
whether Chinese born in this country is
a citizen or not.
Attorney George d. Collins caused this
question to be raised, and test case was
made at the instance of United States
Attorney-General Harmon. Judge Nor
row decided on Thursday in the case of
Ching Too that the McCreary act could not
be made to apply to felon who had been
born in this country. AS is well known
the McCreary act provides for the depor-
taton of Chinese felons. The court held
that Ching Too. having been born in this
country, could not be deported. This may
be taken as some indication of what Judge
Morrow's decision in the Wang Kim Ak
case may be. It can be looked for now
almost any day.

why Pigs SqueaI.

The true wild boars and the feral hogs,
which have escaped from captivity in
various parts OF the world, 60 about in
herds for mutual protection. and when one
is attacked the others stand by him and
defend him. This affords an explanation
of the original use of the shrill voice of the
pig and OF his readiness to exercise it
whenever he is in trouble. In fact, when
ever you hear pig squealing you hear a
testimony to the intrepid deeds of his race
in the past as eloquent and emphatic as a
Fourth of July grafton. In the wild state
it was his appeal for help, to which he
knew his brethren, one and all. would
respond with splendid loyalty and courage.
Many hunter has had to climb tree to
save his life after wounding one of herd
of peccaries. Now the hog would not expend
his breath in ear-splitting squeals unless
he felt pretty sure of getting some benefit
from so doing. His squealing, therefore,
amounts to lively expression of faith in
the noble moral qualities of his brethren.
1t conveys precisely the same sentiment as
do the words of stump orator when he
says: Gentlemen, l well know your con-
stancy and your courage! You have
proved many times i'll the past that you
are no mugwumps who go to roost on a
fence when the party is in danger! l con-
fdentIy look to you, therefore, to stand by
