A WINDOW WORKER CAUGHT.
Policemen Saw His Ladder and
Went After Him.

About o'clock Sunday morning Police
men Van Horn and Curlews were passing
the residence of Mr. BARLEY Thornton,
No. 1880 Twenty-third Street, and they no.
ticed a ladder placed against the side of
the house leading to second story win
dow They decided to investigate, and
on entering the house found William Pc
ters, a cOlored man twenty-three years
old, standing in a room on the second
floor with bed Stat in one hand and a
knife in the other ready to give battle.
He was overpowered. however and taken
to No. station.
The negro entered the house in the ear
Iy part of the evening and concealed him.
self under one of the beds to wait till the
family retired for the night. when he
would come forth from his hiding place
and after gathering up what he could
would escape down the ladder. When
Mr.. Thornton went to bed his wife told
, him she thought she heard some one un-
der the bed and the two waited TO see If
the noise continued. The sounds Mrs.
Thornton had heard were repeated and
her husband got out OF the bed and on
perceiving the burly form of the negro
sprawled out on the floor he slipped on
some clothing and went to No. station
and reported It, The patrol wagon was at
once gotten in readiness and a squad OF
policemen sent to the house. Whey they
arrived they found that Van Horn and
Curlews had been there before them and
captured the prisoner. Peters was put In

Fascinaticns of the Fire Engine.

NEIOH the NeW 1OTA SUM-
There is something fascinating al
ways" said Mr.. Goslington, about a
steam fire engine. 1 could stand and
watch one by the hour, and find plenty
of people who feel just the same way
about it, and we, that is to say, the peo-
pie that love the fire engine, can do that
II 1t isn't doing a blessed thing but just
standing in the street. What L mean is
this:
Il happened yesterday to see a fire that
was over in a minute; men put it out
without throwing a stream on it, But this
engine that I speak of hooked on to a
hydrant and was ready to throw water if
1t was needed. 1t wasn't, and they took
off the suction, put it back in place on
the engine, and drew the fire, and then
stood there just waiting to be ordered
home; driver up and everything all ready
But the people looking on didn't go.
From the time the engine had halted at
the hydrant they had been standing
around on the sidewalk, a crescent-shaped
fringe of men and boys; and they remain
ed immovable now, myself among them
when it was all over but the going home
The engine was fascinating still, with its
three powerful horses, with it's FURNISHED
smokestack and fittings. and its kissing
steam, and its suggestion of power every
where, and we just stood there and looked
at it and waited, FIVE minutes, I guess,
maybe ten, just to hear the bell clang and
see the driver gather up the reins and
turn the great team and start off on the
way back to the house"
