A Clever Criminal.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15-As an incen-
diary and a shrewd plotter against
right and order Joseph l.. Harris ranks
at the head of remarkable list.
From the time that the first suspi-
cious fire occurred in an establishment
with which he was connected to the
day Of his fiig'a from this country he
was the center of a firebug plot that
involved millions.
Not only did the plot embrace the
burning Of establishments in this city
and the destruction of thousands of
dollars worth of property, to say moth
ing of the risk to human life, but 1t ex-
tended to other cities, to Europe per-
haps, and millions were to be the stake
for which the game was played.
An epidemic of incendiarism broke
out just before Harris flight on July
15 1895, and thousands of dollars were
paid by unsuspecting insurance COM
panies.
Plot after plot was brought to wicked
success, and 1t is said that many great
buildings were marked for the kerosene
soaked rags and the torch.
1t was after many payments had been
made by the insurance companies that
suspicion was aroused. Fires had been
so complete. everything in a building
had been wiped out in so short a time,
and the list of stock had been so in
commensurate with the wet piles OF
black ashes. Kerosene, too, was notic-
ed and in some cases explained away by
the statement that lamp must have
exploded.
So Harris and the band prospered for
a time. They had $1,O0O,OO0 or more.
There were a half dozen in the band,
and Harris was worth at least 5000, 900
when he went off to Europe to escape
| the law.
The band developed into a knot of
scientific incendiaries, who knew the
best way in which to place a fire, an
overshoe, for instance. filled with kero-
sene or benzine. with a candle left to
sputter near 1t.
There were millions of dollars await
ing the band If all went WELL Part Of
1t did go well, and the insurance com
panies paid their dollars to the crimi-
nails.
But investigation came tramping
along, and then the plot for millions was
upset. Arrests and convictions came.
too. and Harris fled with his $20O,0
Human life was held at naught by
Harris and his aids in their great
schemes Of arson. The magnitude Of
these may be measured by the result OF
fire in Siede & Co.'s fur store ct Il
West Fourteenth street.
The specific charge against Joseph L.
Harris is that he set this fire. An UNI
pire awarded $191, ,270.e2 to siede & Co.
for this fire after Harris. who was IN
the Arm. had offered to settle for s1lo,-

THE JOAN OF ARC IN JAIL.
Emma Haas and Three Other Women Ar
rested by Deputies at Plum Creek.


PITTSBURG. Sept. 14.-Emma Haas,
the miners Joan of Arc, and three Other
women We're arrested for marching at
Plum Creek by sheriff's deputies.
The attempt to make the arrests pre-
ciOitated an incipient riot, in which the
deputies Jared badly.
No one was seriously hurt. but scarce
ly a deputy escaped a clubbing and
Superintendent Sam De Armitt was cut
on the hand. Two of the women ar
rested carried babies
The riot was the result of a carefully
planned attempt to prevent the men at
work at Plum Creek from entering the
mines. There were 25 women and
about so strikers concerned in it.
About daylight the party started out,
headed by Emma Haas. Many had
pick handle or club of some sort.
On the Murrayville road they encoun-
tered a posse of deputies and were or
dered back to the camp. No attention
was paid to the order, and the party
tried to force its way through the line
of deputies.
A scuffie followed, and Emma Haas
and three other women who. were in the
lead were arrested.
A scene of wild excitement ensued
The moment deputy laid hands on
woman he was surrounded by others,
waving clubs in the air and using them
on the head of deputy when the op-
portunity offered.
Deputy Walker was severely clubbed
and S. c. De Armitt was cut on the
hand. He says he was attacked by a
woman with knife.
The names of the women arrested
were Emma Haas. Mrs. John Kosar
Mrs. Frank Haas and Mrs. Eisner
Mrs. Kosar and Mrs. Eisner had their
babies with them.
After the removal of the prisoners
from Plum Creek the excitement sub
sided, and the women and strikers re-
turned to camp.
The reason more of the women were
not arrested was that four or five depu-
ties were required to hold one of them,
and the force was not large enough to
take charge of the crowd.

ent. The authorities expect any other
cases that appear to be sporadic and il
they are all as widely separated from
each other as are the present cases the
health officers do not believe there will!
be any alarm in the situation.
The board of health has announced
five additional suspected cases.
Reports from Ocean Springs say there
have been four new cases. Surgeon
Wasdin, who is i'll, is doing well.
