the Lake Shore road made the run from
Buffalo to Erie, a distance of s. miles,
in 50 minutes. No stops were made
along the line Rushing through Dun
kirk, three large packages Of newspa-
pers were thrown off Two Of these
were drawn Under the wheels by the
terrific suction and ground to bits.
The third hit one of the uprights which
support the rooof OF the depot platform
and cracked it the brndle being torn in
two.
The Plttsburg police are now arresting
all tramps found carrying a bottle of
liquid, and a cake of soap. This brand
of tramp is called a "Yaghum' and he
Is & safe-cracker. He feels for the crack
separating the doors and carefully ex
amines it from top to bottom. Then,
with the cake of soap, he forms small
funnel shaped impression on the top of
the safe where the two doors meet and
rapidly passes the soap along the crack
from top to bottom, covering the speace
where the doors join and making the
safe air tight Then the "Yaghum'
pulls out the innocent-lOoking hottie
and pours the contents into the gutter at
the top. The liquid gradually descends
and commences to Ooze out at the bot
tom of the safe. \ fuse is then ignited,
and a minute later the doors fly open
and the work has been done The
bottle always contains itro-glycerine.
and the soap is but part of the instru
ment of the safe-cracker.
Patrick Boyce, who works at the glue
factory opposite Parnassus. on the other
side of the river, had both of his thumbs
cut off while mt work recently This Is
not the least of Mr.. Boyce's misfortunes.
Three years ago he met with an acci-
dent peculiar in the annals of surgery.
Since that time no morsel of food has
entered his mouth At noon when the
other men take their meals from a din
ner bucket Boyce pulls gum tube from
pocket. He places one end in the buck
ct The other he puts in his side, which
opens through TO his stomach. The
surgeons cut it there and it is the only
way by which food can be gotten into
his stomach. When the stomach end
of'the gum pipe is lower than the other
a siphon is formed and the liquid food
flows from the bucket into his stomach.
No solid nourishment can be taken. but
most articles can be prepared in liquid
form and the nourishment thus received
has kept him at work for three years.
Several years ago Boyce fell into vat
full of boiling glue. He recovered from
the effects of this terrible bath with the
exception of the injury done to his
throat. The lining of it was injured so
much that he cannot swallow.-Kittan
