BODY GRAPPLERs.
Some of the Difficulties In Recovering
Drowned Persons.

Drowned Persons.
Graphing for dead bodies is ~ difficult
and laborious task In seaport cities whcro
harbor police force is maintained the
work of looking for people supposed to
have been drowned is allotted to them. In
other places the regular police force gcncr-
ally carries ON the work, though it is not
1nfrcquent for private parties to graphic on
their own account, with tho hope OF obtain
ing tho standing reward offered by the
state for tho recovery of drowned bodies.
In Massachusetts the amount of the re-
ward Is So, and 1t is paid to the persons
who take the body from the water
IL requires three men to operate one
grapplcr. Two are tho oarsmcn of the boat
and the third is tho man who controls the
graphing iron. a grapplcr is o straight
bar of iron, upon which is fixed about a
dozen iron hooks. The hooks arc placed on
two sides of tho bar, and there is long
iron handle In the center of the bar to
which tho rope held by the man in tho
boat Is attached. In addition to the big
hooks there arc about dozen Goldfish
hooks attached all along tho iron bar by
little pieces of cod limo. The grapplcr Is
dropped To tho bottom and dragged along
behind the boat
The moment tho hooks como in contact
with anything on tho bottom tho man
with tho rope in his hand can tell 1t in
much the same way that fisherman
knows when he gets "bitc." 1t requires
no great strength to haul u body from tho
bottom to the surface. 1t is then towcd to
tho shore and landed, and then tho med
ical examiner is sent for to inspect 1t. 1t
must not be moved before
or course it is often more luck than any
thing IN finding person supposed to bo
drowned In still water, such as lakes and
ponds, and whom tho spot where tho per
son sank can DC pointed out with q reason
able degree of accuracy, tho success Of tho
scarchcrs is an easy matter. But in rivers
and harbors especially, where there is IA
good deal of tide, not one body in ten can
bo recovered even when tho drowned person
was seen to sink and tho spot is pointed
out.-Boston Journal.

SUED FOR HER PARE
Mrs. Hafnes Awarded Twenty-four
Cents by a Mount Holly Jury.


MOUNT HOLLY, April 80. 1S95.-The
case of Mrs. Martin L. Haines VS.. the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company was
Yesterday when the plaintiff recovered
the amount sued for, which was "a cents
and costs. Mrs. Haines was represented
by her husband. Captain NJ. l.. Haines:
Martin v. Grey Of Camden appeared for
the railroad ompany.
On the 9th of March the plaintiff,
who lives at VincentoWn, purchased an
excursion ticket to Philadelphia, for
which she paid SLIT. Upon her return
she left the city Or the 4.3o P. M. train.
She offered the remaining half of Isi
ticket to the conductor. who refused 81
accept it for a ride to Vincentown or
the ground that his train did not con
meet at Mount Holly for VincentoWn.
He told her she must get off or surrender
her ticket. Shit did the latter and paid
her fare from Mount Holly to Vincen-
town, the sum Of "a cents, which she
brought suit to have returned.
Clarence H. Polhemus was the only
witness for the defence. He is employed
in the auditing department of the Penn
s%ylvania Railroad Company and part Of
his duties are to instruct conductors.
He said Conductor johnson did right in
taking uo Mrs. Haines' ticket, and that

what the railroad rules are respecting
excursion tickets.
.1s there any rule" asked Captain
Haines, (which instructs or allows a
conductor to confiscate the property Of

Mr.. Grey objected to this question. but
finally allowed the witness to answer,
Justice Gibson promptly awarded dam
ages as above. The case will be appealed.

SIX DECKER FALLS
A New York Rajlding of
-nusual Strength" Sits
Down on the
Sidewalk.
OVERLOADED WITH GROCERIES
No Lives Lost = Explosion and
Fire Complete the Disaster
Loss s26O,OOO.

NEW YORK, April 80, 1S95.-The big
six-story brick building, Nos. 3S and 40
North Moore street, collapsed at one
O'Clock this morning. The entire front
wall fell inward with a crash. carrying
with it the roof and every floor. Mixed
in the debris was the entire stock of ].
H. Mohlman & Co., wholesale grocers,
who moved into the building last Friday.
The rear portion of the six-story build
ing, No. 1855 FRANKLIN street. also oceu-
pied by Mohlman & Co.. was carried
down with the wreck. The two rear walls
abutted
Immediately after the collapse fire
started in the ruins, and it was daylight
when it was put out. The cause of the
fire is not known.
The building had been recently renaod-
elled to accommodate Mohlman & Co.
The plumbers were engaged in laying
steam pipes yesterday. Most of the
heavy goods of the grocery firm had
been placed in the basement and first
floors. The second floor was used for
Offices and salesrooms. On the third floor
were piled canned goods in boxes. 1t
is supposed that the weight on this
floor caused the wreck. The fourth and
fifth floors were used for cereals and
like goods They were not so heavily
weighted as the third floor.
Assistant Treasurer for Mohlman &
Co. estimated the loss on stock at $780,
600. The loss on the building VIII reach
$4,000. The structures were both owned
by D. O. Archer, of Tarrytown, N. Y.
The grocery firm had moved its stock
into the building only last Friday. Some
fifty hands were employed, n had the
collapse occurred during the day all would
assuredly have been killed. As it was,
no one was hurt. The structure was
deemed of unusual strength. and the
cave-in was entirely unexpected.
Shortly after the collapse of the build
ing there was an explosion which shook
the buildings in the neighborhood and
threw the fallen debris of the Mohlman
building into the streets. 1t is believed
that the explosion also started the fire.
