FIRED AT AN OFFICER,
Two Polanders Empty Their Revol.
vers and One Escaped.

Charles Berry, one of the special pa
trolmen doing duty in North Scranton,
had lively experience at 10 o'clock
last night, on North Main avenue, near
the Marvine shaft. Two men. who
were intoxicated, We're passing along in
that locality and when they noticed the
officer approaching, advanced up a hill
near by.
When they reached the top, they
opened fire on Berry, and five shots
were heard. One struck in front of
him, another whizzed by his ear, and
another plowed up the earth at his
feet. The other two shots were fired
in the air.
Berry gave chase and captured both
men, but during the struggle one of
them escaped. The other one was
locked up in the North Scranton police
station. After they We're caught by the
officer, the revolver they used was
thrown away, but was later recovered
by Berry.

The mystery in connection with the
death of Jesse iilmer, the 16-year -old
boy from Spring Brook, has not been
cleared up yet, and his parents and
many others are of the opinion that
he was foully dealt with, notwithstand-
ing the statement made by DR.. Pier
that death was due to heart disease.
An inquest was to have been held in
the case yesterday, but owing to the
absence of Coroner Berge, the hearing
was postponed until today. AS far as
can be learned, no autopsy has been
made on the body, and the theory OF
heart failure was advanced from out
ward appearances of the body
The position in which the body lay,
and the trail of blood discovered lead
ing from the railroad to the point
where the body was found, would
hardly indicate heart disease. Fur
,hermore, the wound on the back Of the
young mans head, and the marks on
his face are suspicious.
HANDKERCHIEF OVER FACE.
The finding of handkerchief over
his face, and his coat buttoned up, to-
gether with his hat pulled down over
the wound on his head, would indicate
that an effort had been made to cover
up crime. 1t is hardly probable that
young Kilmer lay down where found,
as he was familiar with the locality
and had gone home that way many
times at night before.
Another fact which has some signifi-
canoe is that Kilmer was a strong,
robust, fearless youth who was not, a
victim of heart trouble. Had he COM
mitted suicide by drinking the, carbolic
acid he was known to have when last
be plainly apparent, and the body
would not have been found in such
restful position as it was.
A peculiar coincidence in connection
with the carbolic acid he purchased is
that fact that he gave an assumed
name to the druggist who waited on
him, and when the remains We're dis
covered and examined, no trace of the
carbolic acid could be found about the
body. The bottle has not yet been To-
Gated.
SAID HE WAS AFRAID.
Miss Osborn, the young woman with
whom he was last seen alive, made the
statement that Kilmer said he did not
want to go home Sunday night and ex-
pressed sons fear for his safety. Since
his body was discovered, she recalled
q statement he made to her some time
ago, that he mad an enemy at No. A.
The enemy was Il young man with
whom Kilmer had quarrelled and
fought and demonstrated his physical
superiority, but whether such Il per-
son had any connection with his death
is not known. No. 4 is near where the
body was found.

SAFES FOR THE HOME.
Uuansnssy ulAlen, Dves Fre. the
Btes Of Servants.

Vunn1noey U11len, Even FreD We
Btss Of Servants.
The clumsy safe which formerly held
the precious stones and documents OF
the wealthy has practically been abol-
ished in the homes Of those who can
afford to keep abreast Of the times In
such matters, and in Its place have
been introduced curiously wrought
places OF cOncealment which the pro-
fessional burglar would have great
difficulty In finding. A little secrecy
has been found to be worth more than
q foot of chilled steel. The old fash
Toned home or Office safe Is direct in
vitatiom to burglar. He knows that
the diamonds, jewelry and spare cash
and valuable documents are kept there
Otherwise, why have a safe IN the
home? There is hardly man who
does not at some time have considera-
BILE valuables In his home which he
must intrust to his private safe.
The most ingenious method Of mod
ern safe builders is to construct re-
ceptacle for valuables in the walls.
floor or ceilings Of the house. The
work is as ingenious as It is effective.
An expert examines the different parts
of a room selected for the purpose and
finally hits upon a place where conceal
ment can be nade the most effective.
A square Of couple Of feet or more Is
taken out Of the plaster, and a chilled
steel safe ia made to At in the hole thus
made. The inside Of the safe IL lined
with plush for holding diamonds and
precious jewels, and there are compart-
msnts for bills and valuable docu-
ments. When fitted in it's niche in the
wall, ceiling or floor, the most 1ngen-
ious part of the contrivance II then
made by an expert. The opening OF the
safe door is made 80 carefully that II
appears as II the side Of the wall moves
outward as II by magic. The spring
which controls the mechanism is often
concealed in the picture molding o.
cornice some distance from the safe
itself.
To make It doubly sure 30 that no
one would accidentally touch the spring
and reveal the hidden safe, with its
treasures, there is usually q second
spring. The first one consists chiefly
In removing a small piece Of the mold
ing OF wooden base Of the rim, and this
discloses nothing but bare surface OF
wood. A little examination will show,
however, that this wooden surface is
divided into little square lines One Of
these squares holds the second hidden
spring. BY pressing 1t in certain way
It will spring open the door Of the safe.
located probably half a dozen feet
away. Consequently II workmen or
servants should accidentally knock off
the piece Of molding or wooden base
which reveals the second spring the
secret would still be intact.-Philadel-

The Mechanism Used In Ancient

A representative piece Of mechanism

have been the shadoof, seen every
where along the banks Of the Nile, an
invention 50 simple and 80 we'll adapt

substantially the same at it has been
through all the centuries since history
began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China, an invention the
origin Of which antedates the Christian
era. This simple machine, which seems
never to have been improved upon. is
In such common use that every agricul-
tural laborer is in possession Of one.
Where irrigation Is conducted on lar
ger scale the chain pump is made pro-
portionately larger and moved by a
very simple tread wheel, and still lar.
ger ones are operated by yoking buff

Ing machine.
The application Of steam to raising
water is Of uncertain origin. Long be-
fore the Christian era certain applica-
tions of fire to vessels containing wa

Of Egypt, Greece and Rome, but their
