how much water was in the boiler by strik-
ing the side of the boiler with a ham,
mer. That is pretty dangerous business.
Many instances are found where water
gauges are not properly examined one or
the deputies tested a water gauge a snort
time ago in a factory in the northern part
OF the State and found that after ne let
the water run from the gauge the pipe
leading from the boiler 10 the water TUBE
was nearly stopped UP, and IL took several
minutes for the water TO flow into the
tube. In a short time the pipe would nave
been entirely clogged up and the gauge
would have shown plenty OF water in the
boiler, while in fact there would have been
but a little. II is wonder that more ex-
plosions have not occurred in Indiana owing
10 the condition of many boilers.

BOILER EXPLOSIONS.
Factory Inspector hcAbee VIII Make
strong Recommendation.

THE recent boiler explosion near Muncie
has again brought forcibly TO my mind the
need OF "a law providing for the inspection
OF boilers" said State Factory Inspector
McAbee yesterday. This department in
spects boilers. but there should De a law
compelling all factory owners 10 have their
boilers inspected regularly by competent
inspectors. and there should also be a State
boiler Inspector. About two-thirds Of the
boilers in the State are insured. and they
are Inspected by the insurance inspectors.
but IL Is that other one-third that we want
70 reach and which cause us so much trou-

are not more explosions. In his State there

SHERLOCK HOLMES WORK
RESULT OF THE ARREST OF A Ne
GRO NAMED JOHNSON.
IL Is Thought He Has Been Guilty OF
Many of the BurgIaries Re-
Gently Committed.

Patrolman Gillespie, while making his
rounds in the western part of the city yes
terday afternoon, was attracted TO a col
ored man by the latter's queer actions. Gill
lespie followed the man ur West street and
saw him go into Mantel's pawnshop, near
the corner of Washington and West streets.
The colored man went up to the desk and
pawned an overcoat which the policeman
thought looked too good for him TO be
wearing. AS the negro attempted to leave
Gillespie asked the man to stop. In search
ing him the policeman found a razor, a
loaded pistol of .32-caliber. a gold watch
chain. a candle, several knives. several
pairs of dice and four pawn tickets. The
policeman placed the negro under arrest on
the charge of carrying concealed weapons.
When he was taken to the police station he
gave his name as Frank Johnson and said
his home was in ST Louis Captain Ger
Der, of the detective force, in questioning
Johnson as TO why he had the candle in his
possession, brought out such contrary
statements that il was presumed by the po-
lice that a good catch had been made by
Patrolman Gillespie.
While Johnson was resting in his cell De-
tective Holtz came into the station carry
ing small brass clock with an onyx base
which he had found on a shelf of Mantels
pawnshOp. There was reported to police
headquarters yesterday the loss of a small
clock from No. 1873 West Vermont street.
The detective asked Mantel where he
had secured the clock. and the latter said
that a negro had pawned ii yesterday
morning giving his name as Johnson. Holtz
at the time unaware of the arrest of
the cOlored man. When Captain Gerber
and Detective Holtz had compared notes
last night at roll call, after going over
the stuff taken from the pockets of john
son by Pauolman Gillespie. in which was a
pawn ticket for a clock issued by Mantel.
the officers placed the charge of entering a
house TO commit a felony carrying con-
cealed weapons and petit larceny against
Johnson. 1t is thought by the detectives
that the capture and detention of Johnson
will cause a lull in the house breaking cpl
demic which had become prominent in
the past few DAYS.

INSTRUCTED THE LAWYER
JUDGE BAKER TOLD HIM HOW TO
PREPARE A COMPLAINT.
Decisions Handed Down by the Higher
Contradictions Cases in the
Local Courts.

Judge John II. Baker of the Federal
Court, in sustaining a demurrer 10 COM
plant yesterday. gave some pointed In
structions to the attorney that drew the
complaint The case was that of Martin
H Gibson. administrators for John Gibson.
1t was alleged that in 1886 Judge Woods
gave John Gibson judgment for S244S
against the town of jamestown, Boone
county. Judge Baker said that the COM
plant should state that the plaintiff was
a resident of Vermont. and it was unnec-
essary to state that jamestown was "a
resident of Indiana" or to annex a tran
script of the case, or to give the name of
the United States judge that had given the
judgment He gave the plaintiff leave TO
file a proper complaint and said II could
be drawn in twenty typewriter lines.
