Lamb Jones in Jail for Obtaining Goods
UAder Faise Representations
Sheriff Franzheim arrived in the
city yesterday with Lamb Jones, OF
Patton. Cambria county, Pa, charged
with obtaining about $500 worth Of
beer from the Reymann Brewing Com
pany, of this city.
Jones appears to have been sys-
tematically working the large brewer
les all over the country, ordering a car
load or more of the beverage at a time
and selling it for what he could get for
il throughout Cambria and other cOun-
ties. neglecting to settle Tor the con-
signments.
lie came to Wheeling about a month
ago and represented that he was the
only man in Cambria county who had
a license. that he had a big trade, ana
would be a large and permanent Gus
toner of the local firm. His represen-
tations were such and his story so
plausible that a car OF beer was ship
ped to him. He was to have RENTED
at once. but instead of doing so, found
some fault with the freight bill, for the
purpose of gaining time, and finally
did not pay at all. A warrant was IS
sued Tor him. an indictment procured
at the last session of the grand jury,
and requisition papers secured. Sher-
if FrauZheim made trip to Harris
burg after his man last week, but he
was not at home, and q second journey
was necessary.

New Way 10 Light Fires.

to come the new women will be called
upon to subscribe the money that will
in enduring bronze commemorate the
virtues of the man who removed from
their husbands lives the great bug
bear of making fire in the cold range
or the chilly or draughty CRATE, says
the New York Journal. The new fire.
lighting fan does away with the
treachel GUS kindling that gayly burns
out and leaves no impression upon the
stubborn coal.
1t is simple mechanical contriy-
ance this "fan," shaped as its name.
1t fits close to the stove front or the
CRATE. Within its sheet-iron walls is
a main spring and clock wheels to
work it. 1t is wound up by turning a
handle at the side and set going or
stopped by lever.
When the apparatus is to be used a
small quantity of paraffine oil is
poured into cavity in the blow pipe,
which is filed with asbestos fiber.
When the fiber is thoroughly soaked q
light is applied, and the fan set to
going, thus forcing from the outlet
into the CRATE an oxidizing flame
which quickly spreads through aud
thoroughly ignites the coal with which
the CRATE has already been filed. lhe
machine is also used for blowing up a
dead fire, the spring being wound up,
and the fan set in motion for from
three to ten minutes.
