CARS FOR MAINE.
jackson & Sharp Company Complete
Two Combination Cars for One
of the Eastern States.

VI Oll0 EaSIcrn SCAleS.
Two cars of a rather unusual type have
just been completed at the car shops of
the Jackson & Sharp Company. They
are intended for the Washington County
Railroad of far away Maine.
The cars are painted slightly brighter
shade of carmine than the Pennsylvania
Railroad passenger cars and are about
the same length. They are q unique
combination Of caboose and passenger
car. The caboose portion OF the car oc.
cupies about the centre and there is a
small watch tower on the roof allowing
the brakemen to get front and rear
view OF the track.
The passenger portion is at one end
and is neatly fitted up. The remainder
of the car can be used for baggage or
other purposes. These cars are run on
freight trains in Maine and take the
place Of the regular cabooses. At some
places the country is sparsely settled and
it does not pay to run many passenger
trains, SO the few passengers are ac-
comodated on these combination cars.
Poor people prefer these cars to the regu-
lar passenger cars, as the fare is about
one-half OF the regular rates. The cars
are nicely furnished and all the work
manshIp first class.

TWO YOUNG MEN ARRESTED

Charged With Entering a

SECURED MONEY AND PISTOL
Committed to Jail in Default of 5000
Bail Each for Court--Solomon
Lewis Fined for Using

guage.

Charged with larceny of $40 and re
volver two youthful thieves have beer
committed to Jail in default of 5000 bal
each by Magistrate Kelley.
The two young boys were arrested yes
terday morning by Constable Green on {
warrant sworn out by William Derrick
son, OF Brandywine hundred.
They were Albert Weston and Isaat
Sisco, both about 16 years of age, anG
the former had prior to the crime liveo
with Mr.. Derrickson for three years.
During the taking of the testimony
Mr.. Derrickson said that Weston had
left his employ about two weeks age
after he stated that he was going to ioin
his-father in Maryland.
On Sunday morning during the ab
sence Of himself and family at church,
thieves had entered his place and taken
$40 in money and thirty-two calibre
revolver.
They had effected an entrance by
forcing the cellar door by means OF an
auger and every indication showed that
the theft was the work of amateurs in
the business.
knowing that weston was still IN the
vicinity and also that he was thoroughly
acquainted with the premises, Mr..
Derrickson became suspicious and hear.
ing that he was spending money freely,
he made an investigation and finally be
coming convinced Of his guilt he had
him arrested.
Sisco has been in young Weston's COM
pany ever since the theft and his arrest
was caused by few words that ne had
let drop about the robbery.
About three months ago and while
Weston was still in his employ Mr..
Derrickson stated that his place had
been entered in a similar manner and
the thieves succeeded in getting away
with about SIS in money.
Suspicion at that tire he said pointed
to Weston and Sisco, but owing to the
fact that the former had been living
with him for such long time he de-
cided not to prosecute.
Both boys protested their innocence,
but the evidence against then was SO
strong that they were remanded to Jail
as stated for court.
