A Detectives Invention,

The Philadelphia and Reading Rail
way detectives, who in their crusade
against illegal car riders, have been
quite active in this city, will hence
forth employ novel device to assist
them in handling railway trespassers
when caught.
Heretofore the difficulty has lain in
taking care of the rid when
captured, as they were often II g in
number than the one or two officers on
the spot could safely handle To meet
the difficulty strong chain has been
provided, to which are attached num-
beT of handouts As the trespassers
are caught they are handcuffed in
pairs to the chain. About two feet
separates each pair and fifteen or more
prisoners can be fastened to the chain,
which runs between the two lines of
prisoners. To escape under this in.
genious arrangement all would have
TO run away at the same time and they
would not run far
The chain has been patented by tha
inventor, Detective Bauchnecht, and
was first used the other day between
Reading and Monocacy when twelve
illegal car riders were strung to it
after arrest.

COAL FROM
JBRSBYHOWN

John Mowror, No. G23 East Market
street, who recently made visit to
Jerseytown brought along home with
him a specimen of the coal which has
been found in that locality. The
specimen was obtained about two and
half miles beyond the town, whore
the company recently organized at
that place have been prospecting.

would seem to settle the question
whether or not there is coal at Jersey
town. 1t was obtained about two feet
| below the surface i'll ravine, and
while slate undoubtedly predominates
there is still "A fair percentage Of coal
along with sulphur in the specimen.

much better product at "A greater

certainly such a. to justify extensive
prospecting.

INSANE PATIENT
DEPORTED

Among the undesirable immigrants
recently deported from this county
was one from the Hospital for the In
sane at this place, who sailed for
Austria on the steamship Pretoria on
Saturday last.
The patient in question was one
committed from Clinton county under
the name OF Sophia Ritz in June last.
She was native of Austria and land
ed in this country as late rs NOyem
bar Of last year. She was a public
charge in Clinton county and other
immigrants who knew her In her ma
tive land were authority for the state
ment that she was demented or as
they pat il foolish" before she sail
ed for America
These facts were laid before the
Hospital authorities here by the Poor
Overaeers OF Clinton county when the
woman was committed Acting upon
the information DR. Meredith, Super
intendent of the institution, laid the
matter before the department of i'm
migration and the outcome of 1t all
was that the service sent an agent
here ON Friday last prepared 10 send
the patlent back TO Austria Fuller
information obtained in the investiga-
tion showed the woman's name to be
Sophia Hyrc. With female attend
ant TO look after her she accompanied
the representative of the immigration
service to New York on Saturday
morning and arrived there just in time
TO embark ON the Pretoria, which was
the same vessel which brought her to
this country eight months before
Some startling facts have been de-
veloped by al investigation which
Commissioner of immigration Sergeant
has set ON foot at various ports to dis
cover how many undesirable immi-
grants manage to get into this country.
At New York alone over six hundred
immigrants who landed last year are
now in either charitable or penal insti-
tutions The government is doing what
il can TO remedy the evil with the
loose law which is at present in force.
There is scarcely country in Europe
in which the steamship companies have
not agents at work trying to induce
people to come to this country regard
less of their physical, mental or moral
qualifications. To counteract these
agents our country is operating at the
different ports of Europe. In short
time IL will be the rule that every
person attempting TO come to America
will have TO be examined by United
States Marine Hospital Surgeons be-
fore they will be allowed to sail from
European countries. This has been
decided upon as means of curtailing
the influx of demented and sickly peo-
pie. The other remedy lies in deporta
tion. Last year eight thousand un-
desirable immigrants were sent back
to Europe.

The Daylight Burglar.

1t is during the hot months, when
the doors are loft open for tho purpose
of admitting the brcez ;, or when the
house il closed and deserted whlln the
family goes to the scashorc or the
mountains, that the daylight burglar
gets in his work Instances of his de
predations have not been rrpui ted in
Danvllle, this Summer, but in some of
work, and he is likely to visit this
place at almost any time. He is an
ingenious criminal and takes many
different means to effect his purpose.
Sometimes he goes disguised rs a book
agent, or n peddler, and very often
when he finds "a door open and the
bell Is unanswered he walks in aud
helps himself to whatever he can find,
trusting to his character as II travel
ing man of business To effect his ex-
cuse and escape if he Is interrupted.
Sometimes he watches his opportunity
anu bIcdhS III at lllt ltAl "lHhbNS > III
deserted houses aud takes his time
about his work of burglariZing
1t is, of course, loose articles of
wearing apparel or hric-a-hrac that
are chiefly in danger from the burglar
who walks boldly up the front steps
and either enters hastily and unan-
nounced, or rings the bell to assure
himself that no one il in the front
part of the house. UnocCupicd houses
are frequently robbed of silver and
whatever may attract the thicf's cup
idity Ii doesn't by any means follow
that that all book agents and peddlers
are thiefs, or that there is widespread
danger from the daylight burglar at
all times. But it is we'll enough not
to go away and leave the door open
even on hot day, and the practice of
shutting up the house entirely and
leaving it without someone to look
after it, is risky one Mt all times
Danville probably suffers as little in
this respect as any city of its size in
the land, but even here it is we'll to
be on your guard against the light
fingered gentlemen who live on other
peoples industry.
