SDeciGt 10 the JeTstu CITY Neaps.
CAMDEN, Nov. 10. s9s.-Lawrence Ed
monds, % years old, giving his residence as
Jersey City, was locked up here last
night, pending the action of the Philadel-
phia authorities. who want him on two
charges of swindling. Edmonds secured S52
worth Of silverware from Strawbridge q
Clothier with a worthless check, and q pair
of diamond earrings, valued at 500, from T.
s.. Mitchell of No. Sc North Eighth street by
an old trick. Two bicycles, which it is
thought Edmonds procured in a similar man
ner, were recovered last night by the Cam
trunks at Mt. Holly and Millville, were also
found among his effects, and the police will
secure them to ascertain if Edmonds' swim
ding career has not been more extensive,
and in the hope of securing the missing sill
verware and diamonds.
Edmonds admits giving Strawbridge &
Clothier the worthless check for a dozen
silver spoons and a dozen silver forks,
valued at $50, and his arrest is due to the
fact that Detective Stephen Franklin met
him in Camden yesterday. When he pur-
chased the goods Edmonds wore glasses, a
black derby hat, dark clothes and had a
black mustache. When Detective Franklin
met him yesterday the young man had
changed his appearance completely. His
glasses and mustache were missing, and he
was aftired in a bicycle costume of light
color, but the detective recognized him and
caused his arrest.
7. S. Mitchell was then sent for and he
identified Edmonds as the man who secured
the earrings from his store. He said Ed
monds ordered them sent to No. 1907 North
Twelfth street. this city, and when the
jewelry was delivered the young man asked
to be allowed TO show it to the young lady
for whom it was purchased. The clerk
waited patiently, but the customer and the
earrings failed to return. 1t was after
wards learned that Edmonds had left the
house by a rear door. 85
The Camden police learned that Edmonds
had been stopping at first on First street,
above Federal, Camden. Afterwards he
boarded with a family named Wilson on
Hyde Park, below Kaighn avenue. At the
latter place they found q bicycle and the
trunk checks. A woman's wheel was re-
covered at a house on Second street, be-
tween Mount Vernon and Chestnut. Ed
monds had presented the wheel to a young
lady residing there. Both wheels, it is
thought, were either stolen or obtained by
nv frard

Experiments Being Made by Omcials
on Torpedo Roafs.

For about a year a Board Of Chief En-
gineers of the United States Navy has
been experimenting upon the use of oil
fuei for VESSELS. the tests being made
upon torpedo boa No. 2 belonging to
the Maine. and. according to their re-
port. its use was highly SUCCESSFUL The
Board reports favorably upon an inven-
ton by j. s. zerbe, chief engineer Of
the Consolidated Gas Company of New
York City.
The evaporation of the boiler was found
to be double with oil what it was with
coal. 1t is proposed to use the waste
space, now devoted to water ballast for a
petroleum bunker, to be reoceupied with
water as the oil is pumped out. In the
torpedo boat the oil was stored in fore
and aft tanks. A specially designed du-
one side Of which pumped sea water IN
to the bottom of the oil tanks. and the
other side of the pump was connected
with the top of these tanks for the pur-
pose of pumping oil from them to the
burners in the furnace. By this means
the tanks are always filled with liquid.
ing the further advantage of never
changing the submergence and trim OF
the vessel.
In the zerbe device the CRATE bars of
the ordinary furnace are utilized for the
purpose of forming thereon a brick bed.
Thfs bed is composed OF bricks, which
have. grooves partially across one face.
They are laid on the crate bars at an
angle of forty-five degrees. thereby form
ing air ducts over the entire surface of
the bed, and also making a corrugated
surface. Instead of injecting the roll
through round injectors, a fan-shaped
spray is distributed over the bed. For
Injecting the oil and breaking it up com
pressed air is utilized. The Board of
Naval Engineers consists of Chief En-
gineer H. S. Ross, of the Massachusetts,
and Chief Engineers Lewis J. Allen and
George Currie, Jr.-Engineering Record.

The Clio WheeImen rolled two games in

double victory. The wheelmen were OPP
inferior to their previous work and were
not at all troublesome. They had poor
control OF the ball, and 1t very frequently
went wide Of the head pin. They failed
to get near the average and were easy
victims in the first game, losing by a
score of ISL to 6ss. The Clos celebrated
their opening with a doubie victory, the
first of the season for them. Their work
was very agreeable to the large crowd
OF Clio rooters present. Teutonia did bet
