coNFEssEs CAR BARN MURDERS
Gang of Young Chicago Bandits Said
to BE Guilty of Many Crimes.

Gang of Young Chicago Bandits Said
to Be Guilty of Many Crimes.
The recent tragic death of Detective
John Quinn has resulted in clearing up
the robbery and murders at the Sixty
first street barns of the City Railway
Company, says q Chicago dispatch. This
crime, as well as five other murder mys-
teries and eight robberies, are the subject
of a confession by Gustave Marx, the
self-confessed slayer of Detective Quinn.
The latter, with Detective Blaul of the
Sheffield avenue police station, sought to
arrest Marx Saturday night. In a writ
ten statement, complete in its details and
graphic and accurate in description,
Marx told the story of the car barn muir
der mystery and others, with no spirit of
bravado. His avowal was made to AS
sistant Chief of Police Herman Schuett-
Ter, who called in several witnesses to
hear the story. Marx named his alleged
confederates in his murderous and des-
perate acts as being Peter Nedermeier.
Harvey Van Dein and Emil Roeski.
Marks arrest Saturday night after
he had murdered Detective Quinn in
saloon caused his alleged accomplices to
go into hiding. The police department
flashed messages all over the United
States and Canada, hoping soon to have
the three young men under arrest. All,
including Marx, are scarcely out of their
teens Love of noney and the determin-
alton to sacrifice lives to get it, nerved
The young desperadoes to arm themselves
with the deadliest of weapons-automat-
ic magazine revolvers.
One popularity developed in Marks
confession of the car barn murders and
robbery. The surviving car barn en-
ployes of the Chicago City Railway Com
pany at the inquest which resulted in
John Siueder being held to the grand
jury testified that the robbers began
shooting without warning. Marx declares
he commanded the employees to hold up
their hands and that before he knew or
could prevent it Neidermeier' began
shooting
Van Dein then joined him and the bull
lets from their magazine reviewers ended
the lives of Motorman James Il. Johnson
and Clerk Francis w. Stewart.

RHODE ISLAND FlsHHAwKs.
They Are Protected by the State at
All Seasons.

All Seasons.
The author Of a recently published
novel. the scene of which is laid in
Rhode Island, refers to the f1shhawk
as "Rhode Islands bestowed bird. ;"
Perhaps that is true assertion. al
though the succulent turkey comes in
for a fair share of the esteem be-
slowed by this little State on the
feathered tribe, while Mrs. McNally's
hen is unquestionably Rhode Island s
most distinguished bird, says the Prov
idence Journal. Not to bubble, how
ever. it may as we'll be admitted that
the fshhawk is popular bird IN
Rhode Island and in all likelihood no
other species which flies gets as much
protection at the hand Of his State as
does his majesty. The statute forbid
ding his molestation in or out of the
breeding season is as rigidly enforced
as that applying to short Holsters.
harrington, Warren and Bristol, the
three townships forming Bristol Coun-
ty, afford favorite haunts for fishhaWk

into the sound a long reef, which is
marked a mile or so from shore by a
spindle. The end sticking above the
surface of the water for ten orraozen
feet bears a basket-like arrangement,
which has struck a fishhawk as an
ideal place for summer home and
there it has reared, as it has for sew
eral seasons past. a flock OF hungry

around the spindle, but the waves new

FACE OF AN ENGINE
The Funnel Seems to Be the Seat O
Expression.

The Funnel Seems to Be the Seat of
Expression.
A writer in the London Saturday Re
view comments upon the fact that a
railway engine has a face, and that
the face has an expression. Look at
an engine" says the writer, "and you
can see that one looks noble-simply
noble in its strength; another gigantic
in force, but not noble an expression
of mere brute strength. Some engines
have a lofty, almost supercilious ex-
preston, others almost stoutness. Then
there are engines that distinctly look
angry, and others comparatively gen
tie.
What is the key to this physiog
nomy? Where is the seat of express
sion? On the whole it seems to be the
funnel. 1t has been easy to observe
this lately, as the egnineers of most
English railways have been shortening
the tunnels. The old broadgauge
Great Western had a much finer ex-
preston than the last new pattern
with the short funnel. The new en-
CINE looks powerful, indeed, but the
short funnel has given it a sinister,
ugly expression.
1.-THE new Midland express engines
have an almost vulgar look in their
stoutness compared with the refined
physiognomy of the old single-driving
wheel express, perhaps the most
grac ,1ul railway engine ever built. The
straight funnel, without rim, narrow
ing from top to base-a Mother
Goose's hat upside down-gave the old
Southwestern, Southeastern and Great
Eastern engines an almost foolish and
simple expression.
For pure dignity the old Great
Northern, that severely ornamental
machine, with the enormous driving
wheels, would carry the palm. The
Northwestern expresses have always
worn a fine look Of contained power,
but their black color and the contract
ed shape of the funnel, suggesting q
knitted eyebrow, give it harsh turn.

One of the most valuable historical
relics in the United States is a drum
that sounded at the battle Of Bunker
Hill and saw service in some of the
greatest encounters in the Revolution.
1t is now the property of the Richard

public, of New Bedford, Mass. 1t is
snare drum, of British make, much
larger than the same character of

this country by a young English red
coat. He was killed at Bunker Hill,
and the drum fell into the hands of the
Continentals. Israel Smith, the grand
sire of Levi Smith, who presented the
drum to the post, was the drummer in
the famous Rhode Island company that
stood the charge at Bunker Hill. La
ter, when the soldiers drew lots over
the drum, young Smith became its
possessor. Many lusty charge Levi
Smith beat on the drum during the
long struggle that followed. Then, in,

THE WAYSIDE WELL.

He stopped at the wayside WELL
Where the water was cool and deep;
There were feathery ferns 'twixt the
messy stones,
And gray was the old well-sweep,
lie left his carriage alone;
Nor could coachman or footman tell
Why the master stopped in the dusty
road
To drink at the wayside we'll.
He swayed with his gloved hands
The well-sweep, creaking and slow,
While from seam and scar in the buck
cts side
The water splashed back below.
He lifted it to the curb.
And bent to the buckets brim;
No burrows of time or care had marked
The face that looked back at him.
He saw but farmers boy,
As he stopped DER the brim TO drink,
And muddy and tanned was the laughing
face
That met his over the brink.
The eyes were sunny and clear,
And the brow undimmed by care,
While from under the rim of the old
straw hat
Strayed curls of chestnut hair.
He turned away with n sigh;
Nor could footman or coachman tell
Why the master stopped, in his ride that
day,
To drink by the wayside well.
