BOYS DANGEROUS PRANK
They Released a Freight Car and
Ran It Out on d. & H. Main
Track.

Three boys about IL years old-LeO
Young, George Young and Charles
Pagen--were arrested yesterday by
Special officer Martin Crippen, of the
Delaware and Hudson railroad COM
pany, who charged them with OBJ
structing the main track of the COM
pany last Thursday evening.
Evidence was offered to show that
Leo Young. who was the rngleader
released the brake of a freight car
standing on a switch near the Stowers
Packing company's building, and pull
ed from beneath the wheels several
blocks which had been placed there
to keep the car in position.
The car when released, ran the
whole length of the switch and quite
a distance down the main track, where
it was fortunately discovered short
time afterwards by the engineer OF a
freight train. An excursion train from
Lake Lodore was due in the city about
half an hour after the car was re-
leased, and had the latter not been
discovered, Il serious wreck might have
resulted.
1t was getting along toward dusk,
and as the place where the car stopped
was near sharp curve, it is very
probable that the engineer of the eX-
cursion train would not have seen the
obstruction until too late.
Magistrate Mllar decided that the
offense was grave one and held Leo
Young in $500 bail for his appearance
at court AS nothing nut trespaSsng
could be proven against the other two
boys, they were each fined s. and
costs.

ROW OVER EARLY CLOSING.
Storekeeper and President of Clerks
Association Exchange Blows.

Efforts on the part of members of the
Retail Clerks association to effect the
early closing of some Penn avenue
stores. last evening, resulted in an al
tercation that attracted big crowd
and will likely cause some arrests.
Four clothing and notion stores on
the westerly side of Penn avenue, be-
tween Center and Spruce streets, have
refrained from joining in the early
closing movement. Committees have
waited on them time and time again,
but to no avail. Three of them closed
for two weeks, at the instance of the
Clerks association, with a view of in
ducing the fourth to fail in line, but
the fourth was obdurate, and at the
end of the two weeks the three neigh
boring stores resumed evening sales.
Last night, about $50 o'clock. Il COM
mittec of the association, headed by
President John II. Devne, was in the
vicinity of the open stores doing some
missionary work, when Mr. German,
of German Il CO., and Mr.. Devine be-
came cmbroiled. Blows We're exchanged
and Mr.. Devine had one of his front
teeth broken.
