PRISONERS CANNOT RECOVER.
Such Is the Opinion Expressed by
Judge Archibald.

At Saturdays meeting of the prison
board much time was given to disA
cussion of the question of liability for
the injuries received by the prisoners
who We're run down by Delaware
and Hudson engine, Thursday, while
returning to the Jail in wagon from
work on the West mountain.
Judge Archibald believed that neith-
er the county nor the company could
be held responsible under the law, and
suggested that committee be ap-
pointed to wait upon the company
and see II it will not agree to contrib
ute something TO compensate the men
for their injuries. This suggestion was
adopted and County Commissioner
Morris was named as the committee.
Supervisor Dunning made a detailed
report of the work so far accomplished
and the plans for the future. 1t is
proposed, among other things, to
change the route of the road, on which
the men are now working, so as to
get a better grade. If the property
holders on Boone hill between Van
Buren avenue and the railroad will
sign an agreement releasing damages,
the prisoners will be put to work inn
proving this hill by cutting at the top
and filling In at the bottom.

CAUGHT STEALING IRON.
Two Men Captured Red-Handed and
Two Others Caught with 1t.

George Smith and Harry Cartner,
of Throop. are now resting in the
county Jail, and Louis Grossman and
Charles Wartowsky, of this city, are
out on bail, as the result of a bold
attempt TO steal old scrap iron from
the Pancoast Coal company's property
in Throop last Friday night.
The company recently burned up
wards of a hundred old mine cars
and piled all the iron work from them
in a large heap preparatory to ship
in this city. Last week this pile be-
gan to gradually decrease in size and
accordingly on Friday night a watch
was set. Shortly after midnight a
wagon was driven up and four men
in it proceeded to leisurely load it
full of old iron.
The watchers pounced upon the men,
of them, Smith and Cartner, who were
taken before Squire Birtley and com
mitted to the county jail in default
of bail. The other two men were ar
rested on Saturday morning and ar
raigned before Alderman Millar.
Wartowsky is a Hickory street junk
dealer, in whose shop was found some
of the stolen iron. He says he bought
it from Grossman, who in turn says
he purchased it from two unknown
men. The alderman decided to have a
further hearing on May 25, and hel1
both men under bail until that time.
