HILLS LATEST AOVE.


made against the merger, the fiat
has gone forth from. the Great Nor
them Offices that he is to be politi-
cally annihilated, says the St. Paul
Dispatch.
President Hill announced from
New York that the race of the man
who dared to take up the battle of
the people was run.
1t is now stated upon the best au-
thority that Mr.. Hills programme
of humiliation has been formulat-
ed, and that he has selected Robert
G.. Dunn as his candidate for gov
ernOr.
The Merchants hotel has been the
storm center of the remarkable po-
litical scheming, and for the past
week there has been a well-worn
path between there and the Great
Northern offices. The first move
was said to have been the patching
up of the political differences be-
tween Dunn and Congressman
Heatwole and arranging to get all
possible work out of the latter. At
first it is said Heatwole wanted to
be the gubernatorial candidate to
hoist aloft the railroad banner, but
he was turned down as not strong
enough, and Dunn was selected,
while Heatwole was placated
with promise of being made sena-
tor some time in the future.
According to the best informa-
ton obtainable, the whole deal was
mapped out by Mr.. Hill before he
left New York. The wise ones say
Auditor Dunn was summoned to
New York early in December, soon
after Gov. Van SAINT took his deter
mined stand on the consolidation
question, but this is denied, and the
assertion made that Dunn went on
1y to Princeton and to visit friends
in Wisconsin. However, immediat-
ely upon his return he character
lied as farce the stand taken by
the governor, and predicted failure
for the governor and his efforts on
behalf of the state.
Immediately upon the adjourn
ment of congress for the holiday
recess, Congressman Heatwole
fastened home and established
himself at the Merchants hotel,
where he has since been consulting
the party leaders and workers from
the several counties in the Third
district.
There was constant stream Of
these people going in and out of
the congressman's rooms yester-
day. There was also members of
the Legislature from different parts
of the state, and politicians of all
kinds, marching back and forth be-
tween the courts of the third dis
trict congressman and OF Alex Nc
Kenzie. of North Dakota, who seem
to have command of the Great Nor
thern's hotel forces. Spectators of
the procession were naturally cur
ious and Investigations were soon
on foot which brought out the
story as given above. One of the
spectators, shrewd politician, said:
There are more wires strung
about this hotel than l have ever
seen before, and I have been follow
ing some of them. They all lead in
the same direction-to the railroad

Mrs. Burnett's story of "Editha'e
Burglar" has counterpart in real life
in which little 12-year-old Cleveland
(O.) girl came upon two burglars at
work in the house. She was not scared,
but told them they were doing wrong.
One of the men started to hit her, but
she told him he did not dare. The bur.

AFTER STOLEN JUNK.
Delaware and Hudson Company to
Locate Brass Stolen from It's Lo-
comotives in Yard Here--Carried
Away by Bows.

away ny Doye'
The Delaware and Hudson company
is to institute veritable drag-net
search for large quantity of brass
which has been stripped off locomotives
in the railroad yard in this city. The
brass oil cups, etc, has been carried
off from time to time since the coal
strike by a number of boys from ten
to twelve years old whose homes are
in the Dundaff section. The metal mas
been sold to junk dealers in this Vlcin-
ity and determined effort VIII ne
made to locate the plunder or lts
source. A recent act of the legisla-
ture requires junk dealer to Keep Il
record book in which all the purchases
of junk are to be faithfully kept. The
purpose is to prevent the practice Oh
unscrupulous persons in Illegally d's-
posing of such stuff. There Is a strong
suspicion that all has not been straight
in the sale of this particular junk ana
to make certain the search referred 10
will be made This was decided upon
after the hearing reported in the fol-
lowing paragraphs.
Detective Martin Cippen of the Della
ware and Hudson. and Constable
Neary are in charge Of the nvestiga-
ton.
Ever since the strike there have been
q large number of idle~coal and freight
engines in the Delaware and Hudson
yard in this city. For some time past
the brass attachments, oil cups, etc.
have proven Il dangerous source or
temptation to idle lads. Biding THIS
opportunity when the Waterman would
be in some other corner, the youngsters
would sneak in and swipe an oil cup
here and there and then hasten home
to await the welcome appearance of
the festive junk man. whose hoarse
and broken tin horn footing was music
to the waiting lads. The cups We're
disposed Of invariably for a few cents.
Yesterday was a disastrous day for
the boys and the uninterrupted picnic
they We're having. While one of them
was making off with an oil cup from
ore Of the engines, he was detected and
though he fed he was recognized by
an Italian employe. The boy was like
wise an Italian and was positively
identified by the man who was watch
ing.
Detective Martin Crippen had a war
rant sworn out before Alderman Jones
for the boys arrest. who proved to be
Frank Tollerica. aged about II years.
He was arrested by Constable Neary
and positively identified. He made Il
denial, but was held in bail. Eventual
u he admitted he knew who did steal
the brass and through him it is certain
that the others will be taken and the
practice-an expensive one to the COM
pany effectually stopped.
