Police on Wolf. Americans.

As an indication of the truth of
their claims of superiority, R. H.
Wolff & Co., Limited. Of New
York city, point with pride to the
fact that the force of cycle police
men in the metropolis ride Wolff.
American bicycles, furnished by
the department. Police Commits
sioner Andrews, under whose
supervision are the cycle police of
New York city, has purchased suf-
fcient MATHEMATICIAN wheels to
supply all the men who use the
bicycle while on duty. He did
this in order to effectually end the
evils which cropped out while the
policemen were permitted to ride
any wheel they chose. Commits
sioner Andrews selected the Wolff.
American BICYCLES solely because
of their merit. r. II. Wolff &
Co., not wishing to make use of
the fact for advertising purposes
without the permission of the
Police Commissioner, communi-
Gated with him, asking him
whether he would object to their
doing so. His reply, which fol-
lows, is a valuable testimonial for
the Wolff-American High Art

can bicycles are used by tho cycle police

petition. do not see how there osn be any
objection upon the part OF the department.
TO make any legitimate use OF the fact that

CARS ROBBED ON THE FLY
Unique Method of Gang of Rail-
road Bandits.
Used Rope Ladders and TGmhIed
Goods From Trains as They Ran.
Booty Went to Peddlers.

Wnliamsport, Pa, May 13.-For nearly
two years through freight cars of the Fall
Brook Railroad have been mysterioUsIy
and, as disclosures prove, uniquely, robbed
while en- route up the wild and sparsely
settled Pine Greek Valley.
In a little squatter settlement along the
abandoned Coudersport pike, about six
miles from Waterville, tins county, detect
ives have at last found nearly q wagon
lead OF the goods that had been stolen
from the cars, and as result of their dir
covery five men are now in jail, and W ar
rants are out for four more members of
what is known among the officers of Ly-
coming Potter ana TiOga counties as the
button gang"
Three OF the prisoners were brought to
jail here, and two We're taken to WelIsbOro.
The men In Jail here are Leonard Barton
seventy years Of age, and Darwin Z and
Willis Button, father and son. The Wells
boro prisoners were Thomas and William
Button, nephews OF Darwin Button.
The evidence before Alderman Moorhead
yesterday showed that the TobDeIieg from
the cars had been carried on with the aid
of rope ladders These Were suspended
over the sides OF the cars while the train
was ia motion, and in this way men on the
ladders could force the car doors and tuIn-
bIe out the goods atPine Bottom, an isolated
point on tie Fan Brook,
Two weeks ago detective visited the
rendezvous OF the Baton gang" in the
guise Of a lumber comp pedder. He was
shown great stacks of goods that they
offered to sell him, the buttons declaring
that it was their business 60 fit out pack
peddlers Several houses were searched
Ivy the officers, and iii nearly all OF them
stolen goods were found.
The prisoners are a queer looking set.
They wearther hair Ting; have odd shaped
caps and are decidedly uncouth. A large
amount of stolen goods sold by the But
tons was located in the store OF a lumber
camp on Pine Bottom Run.

CAUGHT BYApLUCKY WOMAN
Mrs. Barnett Captures the Alleged
Murderer Of Three Girls.
Saw Him Passing in the Street and
Promptly Seized Him-Sure of
Her Prisoner.

New York. May 10 Capt O'Brien and
Detective Sergeants Reedy and Reilly be-
live they have found the murderer of Annie
Brock, Minnie Weldt and FIessie Murphy In
the man who tried TO strange Mrs. Pauline
Barnett fifteen months ago
This man, according TO Mrs. Barnett's as
sertio2, is Jacob Take, who says he is from
Philadelphia. He was caught by Mrs Bar
nett in Central Park and turned over to the
police.
Mrs Barnett, sitting in the park with her
husband and brother, saw among others
who passed a man with brown mustache
and peculiar stoop. She ran at him, grab
bed him and tried 10 tear his face with her
hands, swearing he was the man who tried
to murder her AT the station she renewed
her attack, only being held back by the po-
lice
Detectives were set TO investigating the
circumstances. Take was brought to head
quarters and put through the third de-
gree, then marched to Yorkville court, and
there formally arraigned on a charge OF at
tempted murder and remanded for further
hearing.
mis- Dtiutbb BfdItu db us ne
stepped up to the bar. Asked by the
magistrate whether she was positive as
To his identity, she replied: THAT is the
man who tried to murder me-"
II am as sure as can be Of anything
in the world that this is the man who
tried to stTangle me, and who, believe,
killed Annie Brock" said Mrs Barnett
later to reporter. II should have known
him again among 10000 Snen. His clothes
are different; the name he gave to the
police is not his own; but he is the same
The man who introduced him to me is q
man who called on Annie Brock
In the pockets of the prisoners were found
S6T 30 and many papers With the aid
of these papers, the detective started out
on a search for the jewelry stolen from
Mrs. Barnett, and with the view, if posi-
blc, to tface that which was owned by
Annie Brock and Flossie Murphy.

and brought him down. That settled the
fight. OF course, Fitz was ready to put
in another blow II necessary. The pictures
may show that Fits glove was close TO
Corbett's face, but that won't prove that
a blow was struck.
Mysterious Billy Smth-AsI saw it Fitz-
simmons landed left-hand swing on Cor
belts cheek just as Jim was falling after
getting the Ieft-hander in the stomach. It
seemed to me the punch in the stomach
caused the knockout I dOn't think I
should declare a foul on such a blow It
was, in my opinion, a technical foul
james J. COrbett-I decline to talk on the
matter. The pictures will tell the story.
Charles White, Corbett's trainer-Fitz.
simmons delivered u IefI-hand punch on
the jaw while Corbett was on his knees.
II was the last blow of the fight The left
hand blow in the stomach was, in my Opin-
ion, too low, and foul also. When the bout
closed l went to Referee SileT and claimed
foul. He answered in these words: mo
material damage done" insist thatthere
was damage done.
Harry Peppers, cOlOred middIeweight
champion of the Pacific cOast-I saw FitZ-
simmons deliver a punch on Corbett's Jaw
when the latter was on his knees. II fol
lowed the eft-handeT on the body, and was
q short right-hander on the jaw l think
the left IN the stomach did the business,
and the last blow did no damage.
Jim McYey, one OF COTbett's seconds
did not see Firzsimn.Ons strike COTbett
while Jim was on his knees. But then

leader of the younger set
The name of the prisoner is put down on
the police blotJer as John Smith" but the
detectives admit that his real name is very
different from that. All efforts to Learn
mis- identity nave failed, but one Of the
detectives volunteered the information tnat
he comes from a good family and has occu.
pied as high a social position as Cunnin =

The detective added: 1t is not true that
We expect To unearth a large band of or

we have discovered unmistakable evidences

held revolvcrs in his face and ordered him
10 hold up his hands" Instead of obey

them and put them to flight He was
sure he had wounded one OF them
Shortly after midnight, Frederick
Cunningham, well-known socially in this
