PITTSTON.

The .Lehigh Valley ticket office seems
to be a favorite place for robbers to
attack. Wednesday evening train No.
20, east bound, due at the Junction at
9.45, was ten minutes late. Oscar CRU
yer. who acts as night agent, locked the
ticket office and went out to attend to
the baggage and mail. After putting
them in the upper Office, he came out
upon the platform again and saw man
standing at the door of the waiting
room on the lower platform Gruver's
suspicious were aroused and he went
down. AS he did so the fellow called
to his companions inside and three men
cane running out. Gruver seized one
of the fellows but one Of the others
felled him with blow in the ribs, caus-
ing him to let go his hold. The four
men then started off on a run, and by
the time Gruver got on his feet to call
for help they were out of sight. On
investigation 1t was found that the
door to the ticket-ofiice had been shat
tered by a heavy pick and the lock
broken: the thieves had taken the con-
tents of the money drawer amounting
to $500. A sealed envelope marked
valuable" excited their cupidity, but
hts contents were Of no value to them
as they consisted of redeemed time GER
tificates of employees, amounting in face
value to $S9.4O, and cancelled excess
checks worth 1870. Detective O'Brien
was at the scene late last night but no
trace of the thieves could be obtained
Three tramps were seen on freight
train that arrived at Fairview from
CoXton Thursday morning, and 1t is
surmised they were the ones who did
the job. A Lehigh Valley auditor was
going over the accounts at the station
yesterday morning Late yesterday
afternoon two of the robbers were cap
tured near Avoca by Detective O'Brien
and Constables Tigue and Rose, assist
ed by the Lehigh Valley shifting crew.
When the hobos were cornered on the
railroad track, a distance south of the
town, they showed fight and We're so
aggressive in the battle that the assist
ance of the shifting crew was neces-
sary in order that they might be cap
tured. They were given q hearing in
this city and were committed to Wilkes
Barre Jail. One of the tramps gave his
residence at Philadelphia, and the other
claimed to have at one time been q
citizen Of Albany, N. Y.
Some Explanatory Remarks.
We desire to correct an error which
occurred in our column yesterday
morning. We were misinformed. The
game of basket ball to he played by the
Wilkes-Barre and Pittston teams has
not been satisfactorily arranged. On
further investigation we learn that
neither the Scranton or Kingston teams
are now eligible to the banner under
any consideration, as they have been
defeated. The standing of the league

GREAT SEA MONSTER.

Skull Nearly Ten Feet Wide Found in the
Cherokee Strip Eye Sockets Four Feet
in Diameter.
Humboldt, Kan, May 1.-The fossil
skeleton Of what is supposed to be a
large extinct sea animal was recently
discovered by settler in the Chero-
kee strip while searching along the
banks Of the Arkansas river for drift
wood. The beak or bill was projecting
through the sand. On breaking, it was
found to be bone which aroused the
finders curiosity to the extent that he
set to work to exhume it. The beak
or Dill, the skull, O few verterbrae,
some ribs and propellers were in a fair
stateAS observation, but the remainder
crun! g soon as exposed to the air.
The Ntoverer stored his find in a
shed, and did not attach much import
ance to IT. BY chance Henry Patterson
heard Of 1T, made trip to the strip,
purchased it, and had a huge wagon
built with a large cushioned platform,
and covered for the safe transportation
of what is no doubt a relic of the ante
diluvian period, and Is now realizing a
bonanza on his investment, exhibiting
1t in the cities and towns in the new
petroleum ahd natural gas field of
southeast Ksnsas.
1t Certainly Is Whoppcr.
A descripti,n N of the bones remaining
was sent to ttie director of the National
museum at Washington, and the fol-
lowing reply has been received: 1.-THE
matter Is one of great interest from a
archaeological point of view and have
taken the Liberty of at once submitting
your letter 10 the secretary of the
Smithsonian Institute, asking him to
write you in regard to the matter and
send a qualifed paleontologist to in
vestigate the discovery. The skeleton
you speak Of is certainly larger than
any on record anywhere in the world,
and it is highly important that it be
preserved in the National museum"
1t has been named by local scientists
monoceros-ichthyosa and plesios-
aurrus. The eye sockets are four feet
in diameter, with a space of twenty
inches between them, making a skull
diameter Of feet and inches. 1t has
pointed beak or bill twelve feet long
and small train cavity comparatively.
The vertebrate measure twelve inches
each way, and the distance from tip
to tip of the transverse processes is
forty inches and resembles those of a
mammal rather than fish. The ostry-
odes is SS riches long; rib of 10 #. s
in. long, circumference 80 inches,
and two triangular-shaped bones, Sla
by II feet, the use Of which is conject-
ural, but supposed to be propellers or
fins. 1t has been variously estimated to
be from 60 to 300 feet long.

The commissioners appointed by the
governor to make a survey of the terri
tory to be embraced i'm the new county
OF Grow are pushing their work. Ac-
cording to the Shickshinny Democrat
the survey will be completed in about
two weeks, and the territory surveyed
will cover something more than the re-
quisite 400 square miles and also more
than 10000 inhabitants. If the report
of the commissioners shall show such
facts an election will have to be ordered
to ascertain whether or not a majority
of the voters desire the erection of the
new county.

THE REICK MURDER CASE.
Fohrth Day Of the Trial of Hendricks, One
of the Accused.

fOurth Day OF the lrinl OF ucnufickS, Onc
Of the Accused.
The fourth day Of the trial of Hen
bricks, one of the alleged murderers of
Barney Reick, was replete with interest
to the large crowd Of spectators, and
large number of witnesses were eX-
amined. The court decided to admit
the evidence Of the detectives, includ-
ing the confessions made to them by
Hendricks. Before Barney Reick died
he stated that he defended himself
against his assailants with a small
pocket knife and succeeded in stabbing
one of them in the legs and shoulders.
DR.. Kirwin, the prison physician. testi-
fed that he made a careful eXamina-
ton of the prisoner Hendricks and
found upon his person such scars as
might have been made by cuts with q
small knife. While this Is undoubtedly
important circumstant!al evidence,
nevertheless 1t is far from conclusive.
Unless the jury gives weight to the al
legged confessions made by Hendricks
to the detectives and to the woman,
Ray Boyer, 1t is difficult to see how
Hendricks can be convicted. Thus far
the evidence bears more conclusively
against Fisher, who is not now on trial,
than against the prisoner at the bar.
Counsel for the defense attack nearly
all the witnesses and evidently depend
largely on impeaching their character
to break down the case against Hen
bricks.
The detectives who worked up this
case seem to have depended largely on
securing confessions from the prisoners
as a means of convicting them. 1t was
an unusually difficult case to unravel,
and 1t is a question whether the jury
will attach the expected importance to
the alleged confessions made to the
detectives. 1t is evident that upon this
will hinge the verdict. If the detective
Keighron tells the truth, then Hen
bricks was an unusually ytalkative criIni
nal. Keighron played the role of crimi
nal himself, and in that way gained the
confidence of Hendricks. The latter
/ not only confessed the killing of Reick,
\according to the evidence of the detec-
live, but also admitted other crimes
81 the most revolving character; among
Sothers he revealed plan for robbing
Ihis own mother. The court, to the sur
prise of many, admitted all this as evil

Under the new apportionment two

AN UNLUCKY NUMBER.
The Luzcrue Congressional District to Be
the Thirteenth.

The congressional apportionment bill
now before the legislature changes the
number of both the Luzerne and the
Lackawanna districts. 1t would be
difficult to explain the necessity for
this change. Under the old apportion-
ment Luzerne was the Twelfth and
Laclcawanna the Eleventh. Now 1t is
proposed to make Lackawanna the
Twelfth and Luzerne the Thirteenth.
While this Is really of very little real
consequence or Importance, neverthe-
less changes In the numbers of districts
should not be made except when abso-
lutely unavoidable. The old numbers
Of either Luzerne or Lackawanna could
certainly have been retained, and prob

FAIR PLAY FOR OLEO.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Good oleomargarine cannot be differ
entiated from good butter either by the
sense of sight or smell or taste. Good oleo-
margarine Is as much better than poor
butter as good butter Is better than soap
grease These are facts which the legfs-
lature cannot repeal. 1t Is folly, and
worse than folly, to fight against new
chemical or mechanical discoveries which
enable men to improve and increase the
means of living and to turn waste SUBJ
stances to use and profit.
1t is right enough and proper enough.
to make regulations forbidding the sale Of
oleomargarine as butter. 1t Is not but
ter; and to sell 1t for butter Is fraud
Those who buy butter should get 1t. BHt
oleomargarlne is a wholesome and pal
atable substitute for butter, and 1t il an
