Unique Somnambu lism

One Of the most singular cases of
somnabulism that has for several days
mystified the police of Allegheny City
has been cleared. One night, about a
week ago, a number of wagons disap-
peared from the stables of the O'Neil
company. From three to eight We
hicles would disappear at time, and
Eugene Spelch, driver, who slept in
the barn, was nearly distracted to
know how the vehicles could be re-
moved every night and he not catch
the intruder. The police were inter
ested in the matter, and the other
night two express wagons were found
standing block or two away, and an
other vehicle farther down the street.
Then there was seen coming a United
States mail wagon, drawn by Spelch.
Patrolman Shaw caught the half-ex-
hausted man and struggle ensued.
Spelch finally relaxed his hold on the
policeman's throat, and, arising, said;
els that you, Shaw Where am +? I
was sleeping" Spelch's words
cleared the mystery Philadelphia

BOSS OF CHICKEN THIEVES,
Owns up to Having Stolen l.
900 Since the Beginning Of
Spring

The prize chicken thief, after
four months immunity from arrest,
has been caught in this city and
turned over to the authorities oil
Rockingham county, wherein most
of his depredations were committed.
He is 81 years old and his name is
Albert c. Smith. He says he never
stole chickens before this spring,
but according to his confession he
has done little else since. Assisted
by his brother, Albert dressed the
stolen fowls at their place at
Bunker Hill, in the town of Auburn,
and marketed them in this city.
Albert says he would take only the
choicest selections in a henhouse.
Like some noted highwaymen.
Smith disdained to rob the poor and
confined his depreciation to the hen
roosts of the well-to-do. He and
his brother did not respect the
cloth, however, for among their vic
tins are clergvmen, deacons and
schoolmasters. They never robbed,
except after long intervals, in the
same place. When arrested Albert
told Deputy Chief Cassidy that if he
would let him go he would give him
$500. The deputy was not trading.
Smith had money with him. He
also had wagon load of fowls
which he was marketing, and the
low prices asked led the marketmen
to suspect him and call the police.
Inspector Hildreth did the trick of
fooling Albert into making a con-
or, as the police believe, a |
partial confession, of what he had
done in stealing poultry. The
roosts which he robbed are scat |
tered over the towns of London
derry, Raymond, Derry, Auburn,
Chester, Gambia and Brentwood. |
The victims number about forty |
farmers or villagers and the num-
Der of chickens stolen and sold by |
Smith and his brother foot up 1000, |
a couple tons of poultry. |
All these they have killed, dressed
and distributed among the markets
d Manchester.
Smith kept book telling where
be obtained the poultry and where
he disposed of it, and was other
wise methodical in his methods.
How the precious pair managed to
make wholesale raids on flocks as
noisy as hens without disturbing
the owners and how they travelled |
long distances in the country with
put exciting suspicion are mysteries
which Albert declined to explain.

! received al offer Of SIS for the pair
but prefers to keep the chickens
His attention was called to them
first when he saw two bills trying
to break out through the shell. The
egg containing the twins was car.
ried into the house, the shell was
carefully removed, and the two in.
FAINT chickens were given their first
sight of the world. They were
wrapped up in cotton batting and
were placed in the oven of the kitchen
stove, and kept there for some time.
For the first three weeks they
were not allowed to go out of doors,
and were fed on matted milk and
brandy served to them from a
medicine dropper. The little fell
lows are now strong and able to
look after themselves, and run about
in a large yard with hundred or
more of their relatives.
One popularity about the chickens
which by the way, are of the varie-
ty known as Buff Brahmas, is their
extreme exclusiveness. They have
nothing whatever TO do with the
others. and are constantly together.
Where one is seen, the other is sure
to be within foot or two of it. If
one of them is picked up, or separat-
ed from the other, both start in call
ing to each other, and keep this up
until the one which has been taken
up is placed on the ground. Then
they Immediately 'join forces and
start off on foraging trip
The owner of this remarkable
pair of chickens says that he has
written to the publishers of two
poultry magazines, and has receiv-
ed word that he has been particu-
Iarly fortunate in keeping these
twins alive as long as he has. In
stances of two chickens from one
egg have been reported before, but
It has never been proved, so it is
said, that they lived more than
seven or eight days.-Boston

HINT TO FRUGAL WIVES.
How Their Savings May Be Taken by
Their Husbands Creditors.

Economics effected by wives out of
. THEW housekeeping money" are not
: such common incidents of domestic
life that we can see them discouraged
by judicial decision without a pang.
We could have wished, therefore, that
Commissioner Kerr had seen his way
to protect the savings of Mrs. Gillett,
the wife of a defendant who appeared
before him, from the sweep of that
mysteriously potent instrument OF
the acquistive creditor which is
known in the practice of the city Of
london court as "garnishee order"
A firm of auctioneerS having obtained
"a judgment against Mr.. Gillett,
sought to attach" certain moneys
standing in his name in the books Of
the London, City, and Midland bank
in satisfaction of their claim. The
bank officials admitted that they had
$50 in their hands belonging to the
defendant, but the latter contended
that the sum in question was not his,
but his wife's, who had managed, by
the exercise Of much frugality, to save
1T out of the housekeeping money,
and, not having anything else to do
with it, had asked her husband to
"mind it for her"
It was while he was thus "minding
it" that the creditors above named OBJ
tanned their judgment against him,
and applied for its assignment to
them in liquidation of the debt. The
learned commissioner ruled that the
money was the husbands, and there
fore the garnishee proceedings must
succeed, which, of course, meant
judgment for the plaintiffs, With
costs. This decision, however cor
rect in law, is fraught, we fear, with
peril to the prosperity, if not the
peace, of the home. Either it will
deter wives from practicing the
virtue of frugality in the man
agement of their households, or
it will determine them never in future
to make their husbands their bankers
and neither of these results is to be
welcomed. Or, what is, perhaps, a
still more probable consequence, it
will inspire the economical housewife
with heroic resolve not to bank her
savings at all, 1t is only too likely to
occur to her that if there is this dan
ger Of her economics being brought
within the clutch of a garnishee or
der, the garnishing had better begin
nearer home. She will feel that the
contents of newly stocked wardrobe
will, at any rate, be safe from her hus-
bands creditors, and her savings, in
stead of "fructifying" in the marital
pocket, will be sunk in unproductive
expenditure upon hats and frocks.-

BOARD OF GUARDIANS,
Opinion Respecting It's Power With
Respect to Waits.

In an opinion rendered relative to a COM
plaint made to the District Commissioners
by DR.. Il. T. Sewers, president of the
Washington Asylum for Foundlings the
attorney for the District has decided that
the board of childrens guardians has no
power to direct where foundlings shall be
taken. Dr. Sewers complained that notices
had been placed by the board in the police
stations suggesting he Washington Found
ling Asylum as an institution to, which the
foundlings might be taken by the police
The superintendent of charities explained
that the board has never assumed to direct
what the police shall do with infants found
by them, but requested them to take them
to such places might be prepared by the
board for their reception, believing that
the interests of the little waits are best
promoted by placing them in charge Of the
board.
The attorney says the board of children's
guardians is the legal guardian of all chill
dren committed TO it by the courts, and
may also receive them temporarily, and
may care for them after receiving them as
provided for in the act of Congress of July
26, 1892. The attorney also suggests trat
the police department should be Instructed
that they may take white foundHngs to
the Washington Asylum for Foundlings.
