FIRST TRAILS IN AMERICA.
Made in Cardiff, Wales, for the Cam
den & Amboy Railroad.


In recognition of Andrew Carnegle's
gift of 100000 for a new building for
Stevens Institute of Technology in Ho-
boken, New Jersey, it has been decided to
present him with section of an original
36-pound Trail from the Camden u Am
boy railroad enclosed in suitable recep-
tacle. The incident has local interest
inasmuch as the rails were rolled III the
Dowlais works in 1881 and were the irst
Trails designed or made, although the
Vignoles rails produced in France several
years later have generally been credited
with being the earliest The former were
designed by Robert l.. Stevens, who was
sent to England to have them made
there being in America at that time no
mill capable of doing the work.
Arrived in England he called for bids
on the job from various iron works, but
at first none of them ventured to under
take it. After a while he persuaded Mr..
subsequently Sir John Guest to attempt
the task, not, however. before guarantees
had been given against damage to the
machinery in performing the mighty task
of rolling a 36--pound rail. Finally the
rails were satisfactorily rolled. They
were sent to the United States in good
many different vessels, few tons at a
time, for they were regarded as peril
GUS sort of freight.
Dr. Morton has fac SMILES. of letters,
specification and bills connected with
this matter, which are to be enclosed in

tion of rail.-Cardin Western Mail.

BANK ROBBED BY BOYS.
Young Criminals Secure Consider
able Money at Hillsboro.
SEVERAL IMPLICATED.
One of the Lads Confesses and Tells
How the Boys Stole Cash
from the Safe.

Hillsboro, Wis, Nov. 1G.-[ Special l.
Developments here show that Hillsboro
is rendezvous of a gang of young Grim
mails, who have been operating among the
local business places to quite an extent.
The boys parents are all honest and
worthy people. The fact that the boys
are so very young makes the matter all
the more perpleXing, as they range in
age from Ii to 10 years. The facts as
brought to light by the confessions are
as follows:
Ophie Daniels, aged Is years, son of
Mr.: and Mrs. Milton Daniels, entered the
Citizens bank last Friday shortly be-
fore noon and, unobserved by the banker,
secreted himself behind a counter kept
IN the front part on which was kept some
bankrupt clothing. He remained until
the bank was closed for noon. After
to his monday meal the lad came out
of his hiding place and went into the
counting room, where he took all the
money in sight, amounting to $500, the
small amount left in the counting tray.
After he had secured his booty the jul
venile burglar opened one of the rear
windows of the bank and made his es-
cape.
As he was going home he met his ia
Their whom he told that he had gotten
place on a farm near Tomah and that
the farmer was waiting for him in the
barn. Mr.. Daniels went to the barn to
have talk with the farmer. Not find
ing anybody there he made inquiries.
He was told that no such man was there
nor had been there. He was also in
formed that his son was seen going out
Of town walking. Inquiries by telephone
revealed the fact that he had gone to
New Lisbon, where his sister, Mrs.
George Macomber, lives. Mrs. Macon
Der put her brother through course Of
questions which resulted in the boy max
ing a full confession. Mr.. Daniels went
to New Lisbon and brought the boy
home the following day.
In making his confession of guilt Ophie
Daniels stated that there was a number
of other boys in the same kind of bust
ness and gave their names. He says
that the boys nave stolen several times
from the bank.
When the first theft was committed in
Mr.. Webster's bank it was when Mr..
Webster was busy at the telephone and
one of the lads was in the bank. He
slipped around by the safe and reached
in and took out sealed package contain
ing fifty pennies. He left the bank and
went into an alley and showed the pack
age to young Daniels, telling how he got
them, and suggested that they go back
and get some more, which they proceed
cd to do. When they arrived at the
bank Mr.. Webster was again busy with
the telephone and the lads secured an
other package of pennies and 81 that
was also in the safe.
