YOUNG BURGLARS SENTENCED.


John Burke and Frank Mccarthy, the
two youths who. with another one
younger than themselves, broke into Rose
Brothers saloon, at Erie and Ninth
streets, on August II, were called up for
sentence in the Special Sessions Court
yesterday afternoon. The prisoners had
effected an entrance to the cellar and
made their way to the saloon through a
trap door. After taking all the money
out of the cash register and packing up
some liquor and cigars to carry away
with them they returned to the cellar.
One of them pushed open the cellar door
and peered out cautiously to see if the
coast was clear before venturing out. A
policeman happened to be in the neigh
borhood and saw the cellar doore rise.
He summoned assistance and the three
burglars were caught in trap.
Burke and Mccarthy said yesterday
that they lived in New York State and
that they came here to seek employment.
Failing TO find any, they decided to try
their hand at burglary. Judge ZabrislSie
sentenced them TO six months in the PEN
itentiary, and they looked perfectly satie-
fled al getting off with such light pun-
isnment. Yo4ng Neil Campbell, the other
member of the trio, Is out on bail to
await the action of the Grand Jury.

yesterday afternoon and formed Marine
Firmen,s Union. These officers were elect
ed President, John Powers; vice presi-
dent, John Bumps, secretary, William
Harney; treasurer. John Brennan.
What the union was formed to obtain
is an increase of wages. The men are
now receiving from SIS to $50 month.
They vii demand, President Powers says.
a uniform rate of $40 month for SOFT
coal and s35 for pea coal A Sommittee
was appointed to present this demand 10
tn etugboat owners.
Another grievance, Mr.. Powers says, Is
that, as the boats are run now, nre-
man is made first fireman and required
to act as assistant engineer. For this ne
is paid five dollars month extra, making
his pay s35 while if he were appointed
10 the position of assistant engineer his
wages would be $50 a month. An effort
was made to get the firemen on railroad
tugs to Join the union. but they declined
Mr. Powers said the tugboat firemen OF
New York harbor number about 1000, and
that three-quarters Of them favor the de-
mands.
Mr.. Powers said that at the meeting
some of the men favored making
strike in case the demand is not acced-
ed to on Dewey Day, but the majority
present were opposed to any such action
They held that it would be unpatrlotic
and would arouse such storm OF pup
