Baker, on the 21st of last June
Davis was not one of the original
gang, but was admitted after the first
breaking up of the outfit by the ar
rest and Imprisonment of several men,
beTs. His qualities of toughness and
his experiences in all kinds of crime
led Bob Curry and Doc Lee, two of
the men who had escaped incarceration
for long periods. to pick him up. They
were operating through Ohio. and one
night tried to rob the pOstofiice at
North Baltimore. They were discov-
cred by Officer Baker. and killed him in
attempting to escape. The three were
taken to the Toledo. o., Jail, from
whence Lee and Curry were sent last
December to the Ohio penitentiary for
life, but Davis had previously bribed
two of the guards, and was allowed TO
escape. He escaped on the morning of
Nov IL, and took a train out of that
town for Cincinnati, where he was
joined by his brother Gus, and the
two went down through the southern
states, through Tennessee. Alabama
and into Texas. from where thew
crossed over into Mexico, then back
into Arkansas and no into Colorado.
The brothers arrived here last Mon
day, and engaged a room on ArapahOe
street, near Twentieth, and have lived
there since.
Yesterday afternoon Gus, who is a
mere lad of 20. quarreled with Harry,
and, fearing violence at the hands OF
Harry, decided to betray him to the

office detectives on informatio wired
to them from Boston that he was an

Derieux, was arraigned in the Center
Street court today.
When IaSigi was arraigned, Lawyer
Richards of the firm of Coudert Bros
moved Magistrate Cornell that Iasigi
be discharged from custody on the
ground that the complainant was not
in court to prosecute the charge. Mag
istrate Cornell promptly denied tn.
motion. Lawyer Richards then made
another motion for the discharge of
his client on the ground that he, be-
ing a foreign consul, was exempt from
arrest.
Il have nothing to do with that"
said Magistrate Cornell. as I am only
a committing magistrate. If this ar
rest was made Illegally you have your
remedy in a higher court on habeas
corpus proceedings. 1 accordingly
deny your motion"
Lawyer Richards, after searching
the code, made a third motion for the
discharge of his client on the ground
that the affidavit on which he was ar
raigned was made through Informal
ton and belief"
Magistrate Cornell denied this mo-
ton also.
Then Lawyer Richards asked that
bail be made as light as possible. Mag
istrate Cornell said that the charge
was so serious that a heavy bail would
have to be fixed, and he accordingly
held Iasigi in $4,000 bail for examina-
ton Monday afternoon.
Everybody connected with the case
refused to talk, saying they preferred
to wait until tomorrow. when Mr..
DerieuX would be present.

Rhine Wine Is Poor This Year.

Washington, Feb 14-"Quantity
large, quality poor" is the description
of the Rhine wine vintage of 1896. sent
to the state department by Consul
Bartholow, at Mayence. In many dis
tricts. though. the growers had great
difficulty in getting casks enough to
hold the product, but the desirable
characteristic of the wine is decidedly
inferior to that of other years. The
1896 wine. it is predicted, will be very
light and very cheap and a great deal
of sugar will have to be used to make
it palatable. A general estimate of the
Rhine wine crop in recent years, in
millions of gallons. is as follows: 1896,
100: 1895. 80: 1894. "A. and 1895. 100

received here giving details of the de-
tention AT Gambia of a Turkish vessel

vessel fired two shots across the Fuad.S

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT.

Is this city always to remain behind
the times in public improvements? This
is Il question which needs serious con
sideration. What have we to boast of
in our public schools? Excellent
teachers, willing pupils, but as mean
school houses as can be found any
where Education should elevate en-
tighten, and progress should follow.
What have we to boast of i'll public
halls? Nothing that any citizen can
feel proud of. Managers wonder why
the citizens of Lambertville do not
appreciate good entertainment.
They do, but they cannot enjoy such
a pleasure md er existing circum-
stances
What have We to boast of in parks
or pleasure grounds? Only such as
nature affords.
What in the way of reading rooms,
gymnasiums, and such pleasure for the
young? A glance Mt night on the
streets will answer the question.
What in II sanitary light for encourag-
ing strangers to settle with us? OF
course it will cost money, but every
cent expended for the improvement of
our city will be doubled by the comfort
and convenience it affords
Money expended iudieiously for the
city as for the individual will tell in a
number of ways. Let us have boom

CHURCH MUSIC

II isyery evident TINT our Presby-
terrain friends have greatly deterio-
rated iii singing II may not he mp
parent 10 the young, rs they are
educated by example to lac satisfied
with almost any kind of singing, If
new and fashionable, but with older
ones II is II grief and mn aggrayntion
II is soulless and has lost its power to
interest and attract the common
people. 1t is not the fault of the sing
ers, but of the tunes. There is as much
musical talent in the church as ever
but the singers ARE impelled by novelty
and fashion to sing those wrctched
tunes, and their musical taste is per
verted thereby. II would be better to
burn the hymn book with tunes set and
let the choir make their own choice.
There are plenty of good tunes to
select from, suitable for religious wor-
ship, which will never wear out or be-
come old if sung i'll the spirit of the old
folks at home, with their solid, sensible
and soul stirring tunes. which willawak-
en- more religions enthusiasm tllan the
whole batch of these new tangled tunes,
even if sung by an angel. The hymns
of Watts, Wesley and others, which
contain more real gospel thnn whole
sermons that we sometimes hear, it is
now the practice to bruise and mnngle
by singing them to such barbarous
tunes. Well, to keep up with the
times, AS said, ! suppose that we
Methodists must follow pattern, 80 MS
not to appear odd or out of fashion. 1t
is much easier to copy others faults
than to initiate their virtues. 1t is
very rare to hear the singing IN the
churches commended by those with
ont, ms in former days.
Much of the singing ut the present
day is but poor imitation of the opera,
sound without sense. When people
of the world want to hear opera sing
ing they go to the opera, where they
can hear it in its purity, without any
mixture of religion. Deprayed MS
human nature is, ii hates Sham. The
time seems to have come when the
music murderers should be electro
cuted and cremated or banished.

TAX EVADER RS.

II is evident TINT there are n large
number of fireman upon the company
rolls, according to the last report of
the Chief Engineer, who are ON these
only for the express purpose of getting
rid of paying poll tax and receiving
the exemption upon five hundred
dollars worth of property. This is
perhaps II severe charge to make, but
mon talk Mt and after every fire or nm
alarm that SO and 40 is not about, but
he will be around time enoughto answer
to his name, when the roll is called,
and then the chewing" commences,
not among the outsider but among
the various fire organizations them
selves.
1t is time the city authorities took
hold of this matter The tax payers do
not begrudge the small amount TINT
the active fireman receives for his
dangerous and laborious work, but
they do kick when they see some men
who are in the department and who
own property, frisking around ON the
sidewalk with umbrellas over THEN
heads while the poll tax fellows are
dragging the heavy machines through
the mud The fremen themselves
ought to see to it that none but fire
men are allowed the exemption.
They are the ones Interested and re
ceiye the Odium cast upon the com
panies all the time on account Of these
tax evaders
Tbe chief engineer should he re
quired by Council to have list Of
the firemen published, so that there
could be chance for everyday to gee
who are and who are not the men en-
titled TO pay for service rendered.
There are some men on the roll who
have served as active firemen for many
years. They should not be classed as
trying to eyade the payment of taxes.
No doubt they have earned all they
moyIrcceive byTexemption. These
same men, Notwithstanding their age in
the service, set wholesome example,
as they are always willing to do what
they can when duty-called.
