HAY, THERE ]!
Driver Found Himself on
Top Of a Burning
Load.

The so-called Johnstown section of the
city was the scene of much excitement
yesterday afternoon, when an unknown
driver, who was seated on the top of a big
load of hay, was nearly burned to death.
Some one who was passing happened to
see the hay blazing fiercely near the
driver, who was apparently unconscious
of his dangerous position twenty feet
above the ground. He was warned of the
approaching danger and in less than a
second he has descended from his lofty
perch. His horses were embarrassed
from the burning rig in a very few sec
onds, just in time to be saved from being
scorched by the burning hay.
The load of dry hay was a mass of
flames in few minutes. The driver
escaped with his horses none too soon. A
big crowd watched the spectacle, but
nothing could be done to save the hay or
wagon.
1t appears that some one saw John
Patak, ten years old, of No. SO Williams
avenue, touch lighted match to the trail
ing hay and run away. Patrolman Nor
asch of the Communipaw avenue station,
was apprised of the act and he arrested
the youngster.
Young Patak confessed. He said he
wished to have some fun. A charge of
malicious mischief was preferred against
him. The name of the driver cannot be
secured.
Johnny was arraigned in the Second
Criminal Court this morning charged with
malicious mischief. Police Justice Muir
ply gave him severe reprimand and
threatened to send him to the Reform
School. He said he would let him go if his
mother would promise to give him good
spanking.
THAT I will do, your Honor, if you'll
only let him CO. I'll give him all that's
coming to him.
See that you do,'' said His Honor.
you can take him home.''
Thanks, your honor" and she led
Johnny from the court room.

RIGHT TO STRING WIRES.
Question Raised in an East Orange
Case,

Vice Chancellor Stevens in the Court of
Chancery yesterday afternoon heard
argument on the application of the Peo-
pies Light and Power Company of New
ark for an Injunction restraining the City
Of East Orange from interfering with its
wires. The company recently strung wires
across Mulford street to furnish light to
Christ Church. The city claimed the COM
pany had no right to do SO and cut down
the wires. The company replaced the
wires and are now striving to obtain a
permanent injunction to restrain the city
authorities from cutting them down
again. The whole case hinges on the
question whether the act of 1896 gives the
company the right to string wires across
the streets in cities where the poles are
on private property without the consent
Of the municipality. Charles Riker for
the company argued that the company
had such right, and City Counsel Phile-
mon Woodruff Of East Orange maintained
that it had not. The argument occupied
the entire afternoon and the Vice Chan
cellor reserved his decision,

No. A Newark avenue; Francis Whalen,
of No. 1874 Dudley street; Thomas Dwyer,
of No. So Bedford street, New York City,

for trial before the Grand Jury. They
waived examination in the police court.

tody of former Police Justice POTTS. who
appeared for the men, for further exami-
nation tomorrow morning. They all took
their arrest cody and Noriot and Whalen
furnished bail.
The police learned recently that policy
playing was steadily increasing in the
city. All the Police Captains gave orders
to their men to be on the ookout Infor-
nation was received that there was a
shop at the rear of No. "a Montgomery
street, with an entrance on Green street.
The police watched the place. Detective
Lee saw Dwyer come out of the shop
tucking something into his pocket. When
he was questioned he showed policy slips
and records of gigs he had played in the
shop. Then the three policemen went there
and found the whole layout.
Noriot was in charge of the desk and
Whalen was acting as his assistant.
Dwyer and Kelly were in the place play
ing. Kelly went into the shop after the
policemen. Detective Lee was at the
desk from which Noriot had just arisen
and was gathering together the slips,
sheets and other articles used in the
game. Kelly drew out a piece of paper
and thirty cents.
Thirty cents on that" said Kelly, as
| the money and gig were pushed under
Lees eyes. He was arrested, charged
as Dwyer was with policy playing Noriot
and Whalen were charged with aiding and
| abetting policy playing.
| Among the articles found in the shop
was a cigar box containing Sc. Noriot had
s26 in his pockets.

DOS cABEZAS.
This is Considered One of the Largest
 Copper Mines.

F. B. McCabe of this city, returned yesterday from visit to the Dos Ca bezas mines near Wilcox, Arizona. He speaks with considerable enthusiasm of the outlook of that property which seems to be very good copper propo- sition presenting great possibilities.
 The Dos Cabezas mine is II miles southeast of Wilcox and is now fairly well developed in preliminary work, A ten foot body of p per cent. copper and another 60 foot body of 3 per cent. constitute the discoveries at present. and it is thought these are strngers of the main body for which tunnel is now being driven. The tunnel is 5x7 feet and has been carried in 40 feet.
 A lower tunnel cuts in at the 275 foot level but the workings are not yet un- der the apex where it is expected the largest body is.
 Altogether l,72O feet of development work has been done. In the long tun- mel three shifts of men are working with Rand drills.
 The raise in the tunnel is very small, being only enough to allow the cars to run out. Blowers and steam shoots have prevented the accumulation of bad air. and up to this time no diff culty has arisen from that cause.
 John of. of Los Angeles, is presi- dent of the Dos Cabesas company and several other local men are interested. Review.
