After His Interview With Judge Ut
ley.
Harry Sarkovitch, about so years
old. a pedler, was arrested about 4
o'clock yesterday morning, charged
with larceny. Officer Reardon saw
Sarkovitch and q companion on Temple
street few minutes previous to the ar
rest. They acted suspiciously, and the
officer followed them. They were seen
to enter yard in the neighborhood.
and when they came out Sarkovitoh
had a bag over his shoulder. They
were met by the officer, who succeeded
in capturing Sarkoviteh although his
companion escaped. The bag con-
tanned a Plymouth Rock rooster. a pull
let of the same breed, and a Brahna
hen.
The rooster has piece of cloth bound
on one leg which may serve as a means
of identification.
Sarkovitch was arrested March 5,
1896, for stealing shoes, and sentenced
to six months in Jail. He was pardoned
later, on condition that he leave the
country.

that. OF itself. would contribute to the
interest In the chief event OF defeating
the cup challenger.
There has usually been an oppor-
tunity for rivalry for the honor of de-
Tending the cup or for testing the yacht
built for the purpose. In the earlier
contests 1t was not the fashion to build
yachts expressly for the defence of the
cup. but the defender was selected from
the available fleet TO meet the chal-
lengcr. In later years, however. our
British cousins have made extraordi-
nary endeavor 10 win back the trophy
which the schooner America won so
handily at the Queens jubilee races In
1851. and this has necessitated equal
enterprise and care I'm it's defence. Ac-
cordingly there was built the Puritan

flower to beat the Galatea in 1886. the
Volunteer to beat the Thistle In 1887,
the vigilant TO beat the valkyrie in 1898
and last and best OF all the Defender
to beat the Valkyrie III. Moreover, all
of these craft, except the Defender. had
imposing rivals OF the same class built
at the same time by competing design
ers which engaged in trial races for the
honor OF meeting the challenger, and,
while the superiority of Defender over
valkyrie III. without such preliminary
testing. was as great as that of any OF
its predecessors over the respective cup
challengers. there is little reason to
doubt that such preliminary racing was
distinctly advantageous.

fact that the best showing against her

doubtless had much to do with the con-
centration of all the yachting genius

event and the quite general conviction
that 1t is no use to build against Herre-

COAL STEALING ON RAILROADS.
The Device for Stopping II Invented
by rline Operator.

The stealing of coal on railroads is
very active industry. In districts
where railroad competition is brisk.
says the st. Louis Globe Democrat. the
roads find il worth their while to stand
the loss due to thefts OF coal from their
cars. In fact. I'm districts. where mines
are scarce and brand of coal is well
advertised, the dealers will stand the
loss. In other districts. again. as in
the state of Kentucky. where mines are
numerous and the competition IN heavy.
the onus of the thefts falls on the mine
operator. A large mine owner. who
had to bear losses of this kind until he
got heartily sick OF them. finally be-
thought him of a practical plan OF
stopping them. He built car. consist
ing OF an ordinary gondola car. covered
by a sectional roof. divided into -four
folding doors upon each side Of the car.
The doors are so equipped that they
can be turned back. one at a time. or
convenient for loading. When the car
ls loaded. the doors are locked and seal
ed by one operation. The car Is then
weighed and is sure of being delivered
and paid for mt minc weight. Protec-
tion IN also thus given the coal from
rain. ice and snow. and the train crew
are not under the necessity Of climbing
over an open loaded car OF coal I'm do
ing their work. The unloading In per-
fectly simple. The doors are thrown
back. each In turn. as the unloading
progresses. should the car be not fully
unloaded at night. the doors can be
closed and locked by paddock and N
can beleft on the track until daylight
without fear OF thieves. The question
OF stealage among coal dealers is being
largely agitated IN the different state
legislatures. and the time seems ncat
when railroads will be- compelled Tn
protect the Industry by furnishing safe
carriaee of coal from operators To deal =
ers. The new car. which can be euuipp-
ell at nominal cost. ls tho easiest and

mo act OF the anarchist has better
Illustrated the prevailing notion that
anarchy strikes at crowned heads only
for the desire OF laying low the wearer
OF the crown and spreading a terror of
its existence than the killing OF the
Empress Elizabeth OF Austria.
The world at large that depends upon
the newspapers to picture for 1t the
worlds ranking figures had little ac-
quaintance with the wife of the EN-
peror Of Austria. She was good and
beautiful woman, but her young train
ing and later choice OF a life free from
ceremonial. coupled with abundant
troubles. tended to dispose her to keep
herself removed from court life as pub
licly displayed. She travelled abroad
beyond the common boundaries that
hedge royalty about and always with a
very limited suite attracting TO herself
as little attention as possible. She was
admired and esteemed, but except that
she was sensational horsewoman. she
was free from the worlds attentions
and largely from the worlds interest.
Wanton and wicked was the act of
the anarchist that slew her. Not even
the cause of anarchy. 1t would seem,
could mud any semblance of satisfac-
tion in the violent removal of this ex-
emplary woman who for all her crown
seemed 30 far removed from what
makes crowns hateful to the anarchist.
she was woman. feeble, and with
her days numbered. in quiet pursuits
getting what enjoyment was possible
while yet life remained for her. No
murder was ever more horrible.
It is said that under the Geneva law
the greatest penalty that can be inn
posed upon the unspeakable creature
that took the life of Elizabeth of Aus
tria is imprisonment, the law being like
that OF Rhode Island.

DIAr1oNDs IN THE STREET.


Perhaps the most interesting fact in
connection with Kimberley, the Dia-
mond City. is the street washing"
which has been recognized industry
for some time past. With the exception
OF two or three principal thoroughfares.
all the streets have been subjected to
the washing process, and some of the
debris washers have done very well
The washing consists of overhauling
the earth for diamonds.
At nearly every meeting OF the bor-
ough council applications for permis.
sion TO wash streets. or portions OF
streets, are received. The would be
washer has TO obtain the consent os
persons resident I'm the street or road
to put the latter into sound repair again
and pay tithe To the municipality IN
the shape Of 10 per cent. on the gross
finds. Last year e960 was paid TO the
municipality In this way. a good pro-
portion OF which represented commits
sion on street finds.
In the early days of the diamond
fields the ground was washed in a very
primitive style, many diamonds being
thrown away in the debris. as IL is
called. This debris was subsequently
used for street making purposes. and
now. years after. with better machinery
at their disposal, people find IL pays to
wash the streets"
Many houses built on maiden de-
bris are removed in order TO wash the
latter. and stones OF comparatively
large size are frequently found by the
energetic debris washer, who literally
works from morn to night, from
sunrise till sunset.-Pearson's Weekly.
