WORKED SUCCESSFULLY.
HOW A GANG OF THIEVES PIL-
FERED FROM CARS.
A Slick Scheme, But the Detectives
Slipped Up On it and Now
They're jagged

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. S.-Detectiya
agents of the Chicago and NOrthwes-
tern railway have arrested the mem.
bers and stopped the operations of the
most skillful as well as successful
gang of freight car pilferers with
whom the detectives of Chicago have
had to deal with in many years. 1t
is known thus far that five railroads
the Northwestern, Burlington and
Quincy, Great Western, Wisconsin
Central, and Rock Island have suffer
ed through the operations of the gang
and it is believed not less than $780,
600 worth of property has been stol-
en- within the last six months. w.
Z. Johnson, G.. w. Parks, j. w. Mill
Ter, charged with conspiracy and rob.
berry; and G. Hamburger, charged
with receiving stolen property, have
been arrested in connection with the
case.
The thieves planned their work so
that one member of the gang was
shipped by freight in a huge box
marked household goods" R!gur
holes bored in the box, provided fofS
air for the occupant, and food, water
and candles were also supplied him
before the start. When the train in
which the car was taken out had pro-
ceeded fifty or seventy-five miles from
the city, the thief in the box,who was
also supplied with tools, released him
self, broke open the boxes containing
merchandise, repacked it in the box
he had vacated, nailed up the rified
cases and saving a hole in the floor
of the car escaped in the darkness
when the train was at a station at
some small country place. His com
panions would telegraph ahead to the
consignee of the box of stolen proper
ty to re-ship it to Chicago, where tt De,
would receive it and get possession
its contents.

unsafe that if His Majesty insist

sign. This dispatch also says:
Nine. Faure's anomalous posi-

ficulties which would have been
greater still but for the good feel
there is a well credited rumOr
which would not have arizen if
the czarina, being ignorant of
these bitches, had not insisted on
accompanying her husband"
The morning Post has a dis
patch from Paris which says that
there is a well credited rumOr

The Republican iapel5 are now
trying to incit- the MrXicans, Huns,
and SiciIiau-ItalIans against Bryan,
because some Year. ago in his Jews
paper he denounced this class of inn
migration to America as undesirable.
We do not ,h!uk that ten Republic
can newspapers in the United States
can prove that they did not d%enounce
the same class of Immigration owe
and over again, in probably stronger
terms than employed by Bryan.
The Italian citizens Of. America re-
gard the Sicilian-Italians with some
thing akin to horror. and the ITALIAN
newspapers and Italian writer's have
painted this class Of people over aud
over again, as robbers, asSaSsinS fol-
hire and members of the infamous
Malta Associations, which are banded

and blackmail-rs. If Bryan, years
