TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED
A Negro and q White nan Who Hay Prove
to Be HouseDreakers

Two arrests were made yesterday Of
suspects supposed to have been implica-
ted in the recent robbery of the house Of
a man named Fletcher, near the Sol
diers' home. Clerk Hentsley and Cap
tain Roberts, acting under orders from
Chief Glass, went to the Buena Vista
house on New High street, where they
corraled negro and a tough looking
white hobo.
The pair were brought to the station
and locked up, telephone message
being sent down to have Mr.. Fletcher
come up and see If he could identify the
prisoners as the men who robbed him
and threatened to burn his house over
his head. Detectives are hard at work on
the case and even though the men now in
Jail prove not to be the right ones, hope
soon to have the culprits safe behind the
bars. The names of the prisoners could
not be learned and will not be made
public until the proof of their guilt or
innocence has been obtained.

Lightning Kills a Lover.

The one shall be taken and the 9th
er left, finds an illustration in the
work of stroke of lightning on Sun
day, June 81, in an orchard at Thib
bets Brook lane, Kingbridge, N. Y,
in which a young man and woman
who were lovers were struck by
lightning. He was killed and she
was severely injured. The mans
name was Charles Fennelly aged SO;
The woman's name was Louisa Cas-
telloaged %. They had quarreled,
but that Sunday morning met at
church and made up the quarrel and
walked to the above named orchard
and sat down under a cherry tree.
and having a great deal to say to each
other, neither noticed the flight Of
time nor the dark bank of clouds,
which had gathered in the western
sky.
There was finally lnuttering of
distant thunder, and when a few
drops of rain fell the lovers started
up and walked out of the orchard, in
tending to go home. Louisa took off
her hat and Fennelly threw his coat
over her head. When they reached
the road the rain began to fall heavi-
ly, and the lovers, thinking that the
storm would soon blow over, determ-
ined to return to the shelter of the
cherry tree.
Fennelly helped the girl to the top
of the old stone wall that surrounds
the orchard, and, jumping over, he
held out his arms for her. With q
frightened laugh Louisa jumped, and
Fennelly caught her. At that in
slant there was binding fash of
lightning and both fell to the ground.
The bolt struck Fennelly on the left
shoulder, tearing the sleeve of his
shirt into ribbons and killing him in
stantly, after which it glanced off and
struck the girl on the right shoulder.
The sleeve of her light shirt waist
was burned through, and lightning
left its impress in the form of hugh
black mark upon her skin.
Fifteen minutes later when the
rain had abated, Policeman Volto
discovered the lovers. Fennelly was
dead. His sweetheart was taken to
Fordham hospital. Her left side
was found to D paralyzed from the
shoulder down, but she will recover.
When Fennelly's body was strip
ped lived mark in the shape of the
letter ''S' was found upon the right
side of his breast. The formation of
the letter which was three inches
long and half an inch across, was al
most perfect. The lines We're three

mark stood out in bold relief from
his white skin as though it had been
branded there with a red-hot iron.

COSTLY sELcsAN GUN BARRELS


They Are lGade By Hand and By . Com.
plicated Process.
The United States consul in Liege de-
scril1s, in u recent report, the manufac-
ture of and trade I'm Damascus gun bar
rels, wholly handmade, in the valley OF
the Vesdre. in Liege province. These
barrels are for sporting guns. and the
industry is many years old. the work
men in the villages in the valley being
almost all gun barrel makers and the
trade descending from father to son.
The best barrels are u combination OF
tho best primary substances, welded
and forged by the martelage 9 froid
process. The steel comes from West
phalia; the iron is manufactured at
Couvin, in Belgium; the coal, which Ii
specially suited for the work, from the
Herve highlands. in Belgium, while the
motive power Of the factories is obtain
ed from the river Vesdre. The industry
has increased greatly in recent years.
These armes de luxe, as they are called.
are made by men working in pairs. each
pair in its own little factory, quite in
dependent Of all others. They are paid
BY the piece. the wages being good, and
about 1000 men are engaged on the
work in the valley. Medium quality
barrels are made Of coke iron and steel,
while the superior quality, which are
produced in the Vesdre valley, are made
of charcoal iron and steel An ingenious
marriage" Of these metals gives COM
position which, when manufactured,
guarantees the required solidity and re-
sistance
The improvement in these damascus
barrels dates from the introduction Ct
PERCUSSION caps in place Of the old flint
lcck. Formerly iron barrels alone were
produced Now. to manufacture the
curled damascus, the ingot is composed
of 80 sheets Of iron and steel, each hay
ing thickness of four millimeters,
which are enveloped in 4 sheet iron box,
placed in an oven and welded together
at the lowest possible temperature. Each
barrel receives 100 welding beats while
being forged. and if single one of these
is unsuccessful the barrel may be q fail
ure, either by alteration Of the damas-
ccned work or an imperfcction in the
welding.
There is no official test of these armes
de luxe, but they are thoroughly tested
by the manufacturers before delivery.
The annual production of damascus bar
rels i'll the Vesdrc valley is a5out 3OO.-
600 pairs. Ct value Of about 5, 800, coo
francs. Of this the wages alone-for all
the guns are handmade-amount to
about 2. 0C0,0 600 francs. The principal
markets are Great Britain and the
United States About half the barrels
made in the Vesdre valley are sold to
manufacturers of arms in LicSc to be
