OF HORSE; RAN into 1T.
Little Girl Narrowly Escaped Being
TrampIed in State
Street.

A night or two ago DR.. Charles ].
Silk, of 422 State street, had a narrow
escape from running over a small
child with his horse and buggy. 1t
was just after dusk and DIR. Silk was
passing nder the Lehlgh Valley
bridges.
AS he turned into State street, 60
ing south, he saw two small girls just
starting to cross the street, a few
wards ahead. A girl about eight
years old, carrying a baby in her
arms, was in front of q smaller girl,
about five years old and lame. The
children saw the horse approaching,
and screaming, started to run to the
opposite side. The older girl reached
the sidewalk, but the lame child ran
square against the horses front legs.
DR.. Silk expected to see the child
badly hurt. Upon investigating,
however, the girl was found to have
been uniDjured. She was picked nj
aud proceeded OH her way in q very
frightened condition. The children
were of Slavish parents and lived in
the neighborhood.

THERE WAS SOMETHING
IN THIS.

Stopped in Woodbridge
Road.

A man with a defective sense of
smell, partial or entire, would rave
been n much-envied person had he
happened to be in the vicinity of
Woodbridge road and Hall avenue
early last night.
About 8 o'clock a resident o. "''s
neighborhood telephoned to Sergeant
Mulligan at Police Headquarters that
an open wagon containing hide,
homes and fats, and purporting to be
from New Brunswick, had stopped on
Woodbridge road. The driver re-
fused to move on whenJ requested it

odor, or rather perfume Of his hetero-
geneous cargo did not offend his
organs of smell. He said he would
not drive on until ordered to do so
by a policeman.
Sergeant Mulligan ordered Patrol
IN E. Morris to the rescue of the
neighborhood, which was in a state
of excitement, and the latter went to
the scene. When he reached there,
however, the game had flown, al
though traces of the cause of com

child-Labor in Germany.

The New German law regulating ths
employment of children, which went ints
effect ct the beginning Of this year, pro-
vides that no child shall work at any
building operations, in airy brickyard,
at breaking rocks, sweeping chinneys.
grinding or mixing faint, or in any cell
lars or vaults. Within the meaning of
the law a child Is q boy or girl less than
10 years old. The law Ct or4y regulates
the employment of children in factories,
but in their W homes as well. This
was necessary, as more than SEQ, 600 chill
dren are working for hire outside Of
factories, whereas Only 27.G00 are m
ployed in the factories. The prevalence
of homo industries in Germany has
made it necessary to arrange for the in
spection of tho hcmesto discover wheth-
er the children OF the family arc over

Concerning Your Home.

From the number of inquiries it ap
pears that the object OF the Billing.
Building and Loan Association has no
been fully understood.
Sine people have thought hat the
association built houses and then sole
them on the installment plan.
While that is practically the result
the method must be viewed from an
other standpoint.
The association is not a charitable
o1ganization-it is a business con
Germ. intended to make money in three
ways: First, by providing a safe in.
vestment for local capital; second,
by saving money for local home.
builders; third, by retaining both the
earnings and savings in Ballings.
1t is composed Of local bankers,
professional and business men, who
will profit Indirectly by the home use
OF the money used.
Its objects are to assist the man
with-a-family, and the man-who-is-
going-to-get a family to get a home
for that family. Assist mind you,
not give" him a home.
That assistance is given only to
those who show themselves worthy.
1t is a plain business proposition
whose new methods make it philan-
thropic in effect.

Think 1t Is Kid Curry.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 4.-The Off
Gals of the United States marshal's
office here are convinced that the
shorter of the two men who endeavor-
ed to rob the bank at Cody is Harvey
Logan, the notorious train robber, and
that it was Logan who killed the
cashier.
Logan was supposed to have been
killed in Colorado about four months
ago, but men who know him state that
he was in Cody several days before
the attempted robbery which resulted
in the murder of Cashier Middaugh.
Logan is a dead shot, is armed with
automatic guns, and can hardly be
taken alive.
For a long time Logan was the mas
ter mind of the Hole-in-the-Wall gang.
The reward for the bandits, dead or
alive, has been increased to $4,000.
The sum has been made up by Colo
mel Cody, the citizens of the state, the
banks of the state and other concerns,
and will probably be increased in a
day or two.

Sheriffs of Big Horn and Fremont

Cody, Wyo., Nov. 4.-The different
bands of men hunting the men who
killed the cashier of the First National
bank here have them practically sur
rounded in the foothills, so miles from
here, and their death or capture is
certain within a short time. 1t is re-
ported a large force OF their friends
is coming to their assistance from
the Hole-in-the-Wall country, and a
number OF men have lett here to rein
force the pursuers.
Buffalo Bill, with Indian scouts and
cowboys, has taken the trail and u
lively time may be anticipated. Colo
mel Cody and his force are heavily
armed and are determined to get the
robbers. The bandits have cut all the
telephone wires leading through the
Basin and it is almost impossible to
get further facts.

s Out AGAIN.

Denver, Nov. "A special to the
Republican from Thermopolis, Wyo,
says:
Sheriff Fenton of Big Horn county
came in last night from the chase
after the outlaws that attempted to
rob the First National bank of Cody
and killed Cashier Middaugh on Tues
day last. He had a conference with
Sheriff Slough Of Fremont county, and
the two officers left again this morn
ing for the bad lands in the vicinity
of Tarby creek, east of the Big Horn
river, where Fenton believes he has
the outlaws surrounded. The officers
will 'endeavor to prevent the robbers
from penetrating the interior OF the
bad lands, for, once inside, their cap
ture would become an extremely haz-
ardous task.
During the day posses patrolled the
open country between the Cotton
wood, Grass. Gooseberry and Owl
creeks.
The fact developed today that the
out laws, after leaving Cody, Tuesday,
travelled over the main county road to
within five miles of this place, then
made a detour to the southwest and
entered the main road again six miles
out. They have since travelled by the
main road. This move cannot be &C
counted for.

The Widows Reason.

The widow of a wealthy but irrev.

funeral for her departed and engaged
the services of a noted preacher who
ived at a great distance from their
town. After the funeral she thanked
the eloquent man for his long and
beautiful discourse. The minister said
to her:
Madam, when l passed through
your town l noticed quite a number of
churches. AS your husband always
lived here he must have been known
to the ministers of this place. l am
at a loss to know why you engaged
me to speak at his funeral, as l am a
stranger to him and they knew him.
"The reason l employed you to speak
was that the others knew him too
WELL" answered the widow.-Philadel-

Ferry Boat and Liner Collide.

New York, Nov. "A thick blan-
ket of fog which settled down owe
New York city and harbor during the
night seriously disarranged traffic
both by land and water today resulted
in at least n serious accident. The
ferryboat Columbia of the Wall street
line was run into and sunk by the Nor.
wich liner City of Lowell. There were
amout $50 passengers and II teams on
board the Columbia.
The City of Lowell was coming
down the river and in the dense fog
struck the Columbia amidship, just
clear of the paddle wheel. The Column
bia floated around for a while and be-
gan to settle. A hawser was thrown
from the City of Lowell and the Col
umbia made fast and all the passen-
gers, so far as known, were taken on
board the steamboat. Later the haw-
ser parted in some una%ccountable
manner and the Columbia finally sank
neal one of the slips of the Union
Ferry company, on the Brooklyn side.
