RODE IN A WHEELBARRow.
The Police Take nm Unruly Prisoner
to the station.

The sight of four stalwart policemen,
two of them pushing a wheelbarrow, the
other two busily engaged in keeping an
unruly prisoner. who weighed nearly 10
pounds. within the vehicle, caused con-
siderable amusement among the residents
in the vicinity of the new Tenth pre-
cinct station shortly after o'clock last
night.
1t has been many years since the wheel
barrow has been used as a patrol wagon
in this city, and but few of the 500 police
men in this city are able to remember
that time. Last night, however. the blue
coats We're forced to resort to such
method in order to land their prisoner in
the station. 80 |1t-.
During the past week. laborers have
been busily engaged in paving the en-
trance TO the stable at the new station.
consequently the patrol wagon was sent
to the Eighth precinct on U Street in
case of an emergency call
The man who was arrested and carried
to the stationhouse in the old-time style
was Victor Norgard. thirty years of age,
who had been arrested by Policemen
Lynn and Barrett at the corner of Four
tenth and Parks Streets on the charge
of assaulting William Ora .yson, Capital
Traction car empioye.
Norgard, 1t is said. was drinking, and
refused to get out of his seat in a car
when requested to do so by Grayson. The
latter then endeavored to pull the OBJ
streperous passenger from the car. and
as a result was badly beaten. Norgard
being a man of immense stature. Police
men Lynn and Barrett put in an appear
ance and started away to the patrol box
with Norgard. The bluecoats sent in
call for the patrol wagon, but to their
chagrin the wagon was out on an emer-
gency call, consequently there was moth
ing for them to do but to walk their pris-
oner to the station, nearly eleven blocks
away.
Ali went well until the Trio was within
four blocks of the station. when Norgard
began to buck. and refused to walk. As
he was too heavy for them to carry, Bar
rett left Lynn with the prisoner and has
tened to the station. Once there it was
decided to try the wheelbarrow racket.
and soon the bluecoat was speeding up
the street REINFORCED by the presence
of two other policemen. Norgard was
loaded unceremoniously into the vehicle.
and still struggling, was rolled to the
station amid the applause of citizens.
once there he was charged with having
assaulted Grayson and also with having
acted in a disorderly manner on The
street. AS he did not have the necessary
collateral fee he WAS placed in the cell
for hearing in court this morning.

MILLIoNAIREs HER CARGO.
Speculation Affords Excitement on
the Steamer Deutschland.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s-The Hamburg
American liner Deutschland clipped six
minutes off her previous best run from
Cherbourg on the trip she finished at this
port today. No twin screw packet. it is
declared, has ever brought so many mil
lionaires into Sandy Hook. They repre-
sent much of the wealth of Pennsylvania
and part of that of other big States.
The voyage was smooth and mighc
have been monotonous if the millionaires
and the sporting folk, including Tod
Sloane, the jockey, had not created great
excitement by speculation that smashed
all records afloat, and was the talk from
port to port. Tod Sloane was auctioneer
of most of the pools sold on the days
runs.
The jockey lost favor in the last part
of the voyage because he complained on
losing about s., 600 to Mortimer L. Schin
at bridge whist and because he questioned
the ability of A. r. Peacock, who was
short on ready money, to offer certified
check for s.. 500 Inasmuch as Mr.. Peacock
was once Vice President of the Carnegie
Steel Company and sold out his interest
for 81, 900. 900. he was somewhat surprised
by the Jockeys insinuation, which was
whispered in the presence of Mr.. Pea
cocks friends Sloane found he was
barking up the wrong tree" and later
apologized.
The spirit of speculation became strong
est on the latter half of the voyage. There
We're poker games in the smoking room
the entire time and the stewards almost
had to use swear words. in elaborate Ger
man polysyllables, to get the players to
go to bed The limit was usually SO. but
the games were so warm that there was
seldom less than $500 in pot.
The biggest pool on a days run ever
auctioned off aboard transatlantic
flyer was won by a. r. Peacock on Tues
day. when the ship covered 5I2 knots. Mr..
Peacock gathered in 5000. On this day
ten voyagers invested their vest pocket
change in a hat pool on the ships run
They were John Dryden, ID. NJ. Clemson,
J. H Chambers A. NJ. Fox, ID. w. Giles
pie, NJ F. Muslin. George l.. McFarlane.
T. Moore, c. Tindle. and A r. Peacock.
Each put up 8, go, making a pool of $l2,-
500 the biggest ever heard of afloat. Mr..
Muslin, who is President of the Pittsburg
Malleable Iron Company and really
doesn't need the money, drew the lucky
number.
There was another pool. a mere trifie
of LOO. auctioned off on Wednesday on
the days run, which was 57S knots. Nor
timer L. Schiff, who had been lucky at
cards bid for the number SO His friends
entered into a conspiracy to prevent him
from getting that number and after they
had forced him TO bid $40 for IL he sur
prised them by giving ii up and bidding
for 5S.

INVESTIGATING HER DEATH.
Chicago Police Enquire Into the
Cause of Miss Balls Demise

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Aug 29.-Inspector
Hunt, of the Hyde Park police station,
is trying to solve the mystery of the
death of Miss Pearl NJ. Ball, the talented
young musician. He will have to decide
whether she was murdered, whether she
took the fatal dose of morphine by acct
dent, or whether she committed suicide.
and also learn who was the mysterious
man with the young woman in the cafe.
The girls parents insist that she was
drugged by the mysterious man. In
spector Hunt saw fit today to question
DR.. Denslow Lewis, the girls friend,
who attended her when she was taken to
her home. DR.. Lewis offered the follow
ing alibi:
AT o'clock Tuesday night l dined at
the Athletic Club, and left there at 7:S5
in company with Mr.. Welch. a dentist.
and Dr. E. II. Lee / then walked to
Monroe and Dearborn Streets and took a
North Clark Street car on my way TO
1885 North Hermitage Avenue, where L
was to examine Eugene Prayer for life
insurance. i transferred at the car barns
opposite the park and returned at 9:35 p.
m, to the Ferris Wheel Park. / went
into the Rienzi; stayed there till $50 p.
H., and went to the Coliseum at Division
and North Clark Streets Then / took a
car for the South Side. caught an Illinois
Central train at 1890 a. m. Wednesday,
and was in my bed at home, 5lo0 Madison
Avenue, at 1:2O a. III. l did not see Miss
Ball until | was called to attend her.
Asked why he prepared his statement
so deliberately, the doctor said:
We'll, l felt nervous, and realized that
there would be a fuss made. 1 wanted
to be sure
The story told by the physician caused
Inspector Hunt to take a still deeper in
terest in the case, for the fact that the
doctor should have been at the Rienzi at
the identical time Miss Ball was leaving
the Ferris Wheel Park, where she had
spent the early evening with Miss Jean
ette Farrar, was regarded as more than
4 mere coincidence. Coroner Traeger may
order a post norton examination and an
other investigation to be held as regards
Miss Ball death. A diamond ring, val
ued at $50. which she is believed to have
worn when she left home. is missing. DR..
Lewis, when asked today If he and Miss
Ball had intended marrying. said:
why talk about it? The girl is dead.
