RETURNED $40. EN- COAT.
Stranger Enters Police Station and
Asks TO BE Locked 10.

FROM fridays DalIS.
At eleven o'clock this forenoon,
stranger carrying gray colored coat
over his arm entered the police station
and asked Officer Klughertz whether he
ever saw the coat before. The officer
soon recalled that it answered the de-
scription of coat that was stolen last
August from the Boston Clothing store,
and so told the man. The stranger re-
piled: "Yes, this is the one, and / am
the man that stole it." He went on
to say that he stole it for his partner
and hid it under the platform at the
Milwaukee depot, but that his partner
had left the city without taking it. Il
was drunk that day." said the man,
'and | am drunk now, and l am going
to return the coat. You can lock me
up
The man said that he could be called
| Billy Sheldon, nut, ne added, you
have no Bertillion system here and you
will never find out who | am" The Of
ffcer took Sheldon into custody and on
searching him found a revolver, lot
of cartridges, and $3.50 in money. Shell
don was given a cell, and afterwards
said that he had served two years and
eight months on the training ship go
lumbia." and had deserted. He soon
went to sleep. He seems to be good
natured fellow, young and of athletic
build.
The proprietors of the Boston were
notified, and will no doubt get ont O
warrant. The coat was muddy, but
does not appear to have been worn.

AFTER PIERcE's PLACE.
Homo Lawyers Who Think the Money
 Place Brin9s BelonG to Them

There are half dozen republican lawyers in this city who would like to wade into Liquor Prosecuting Agent Pierce's political gore. They have no particular grudge against him only that they say it is not fair for non resident of the city to hold the fat cinch of liquor prosecuting agent in com munity like this where he can live on the fat of the land as easy as rolling off log.
 None of the lawyers seemed to care pins worth where Mir Pierce was living until the recent visit of the state police beame known and incidentally Mir Pierce rolled up $500 in his pants pocket and hiked off somewhere to blow it in. Earning $500 as easy as he did then was what got their patriotic blood up and brought them realiza tion of their local pride and made them cry out Waterbury for Waterburians. It was bad enough they said to have up here day or two every quarter and drew $500 or $4OO for a few hours work. They asked each other what was the republican party coming to when it went out of town for men to hold down fat jobs.

LIGHT FAILED AGAIN
Tried to Get His Children From St
 nary's Day Nursery.

The fight between Orson Light and his wife Kate for possession of their children came before the public again yesterday. Since the first encounter which took place on Union street two weeks ago. Mrs Light placed the chil- dren in the custody of St Mary's Nursery on Union Square, and it was her custom to take them home Ill the evening when returning from work.
 Light learned of this and yesterday afternoon he presented himself at the nursery with the order he was given by Judge Lowe some time ago for the custody of the children. He saw the children playing about the yard and tried to induce them to go With hfm but this they would not do. He then presented his order to the superior Ill charge but she refused to hand the children over to him, for the reasons that she did not know who the man was and also because the children were placed in her custody. Light got very angry and tried in vain to impress up on the superior of the institution the merits of his order issued to him by Judge Lowe when he appointed him some weeks ago guardian of the chll- dren on the grounds that the mother was an improper person to have them in her care While Light was trying to convince the superior that by law the children should be in his custody, Mrs Light arrived and took them away with here
 An injunction will be served upon Light this evening enjoining him from further interfering with his wife and their children. This was the course Mrs Lights counsel Hayes and J. R. Lawlor decided upon to-day. This morning Mrs Lights landlady, Mrs Foley of Union street. complained to Prosecutor Meigs against Light on ac- count of disturbances he has made at her house.
 Light seems to think that because Judge Lowe appointed him guardian of the children he is entitled to their immediate custody. He apparently pays no heed to the appeal filed by Mrs Light. which acts as stay to Judge Loves order until the matter shall be finally determined by the high CT court. Mrs Light has said that she will fight her husbands contention that she is an improper person to have the care of the children. Out of dozen witnesses only one testified that she drank beer.

Overslept, Telephoned Station Agent
 and 914 Waited.
 New York, July 25.-At the request Of James H. Hyde Long Island rail road local passenger train was held at the Bayshore station for half an hour recently. According to Bayshore peo- pie, Mir Hyde frequently has trains stopped for him. Because of his stoc., holdings in the Pennsylvania railroad. which controls the Long Island system, Mir Hyde is looked upon with awe by conductors and station agents along the line.
 Although he has a free private car. which runs to the back door of his house at Bayshore. MT Hyde uses it only for long journeys and in showing friends about Long Island. \ spur from the Long Island main line runs to his house.
 When Mir Hydes valet awakened him one morning two weeks ago and told him he had less than five minutes to catch the 9:li. MT Hyde sprang from his bed and rushed 10 the tele- phone. He called for the station agent and ordered him to hold the 9:14 until he got 10 the station.
 The agent did as he was told. When the train came in the agent repeated Mir Hyde's message to the conductor. This was enough for the conductor. who did not seem 10 think the proceed ing unusual
 This train starts from Speonk at S:ol a. m. daily. and stops at such inipor- tant towns as Eastport. East Moriehes. Patrhogue. Sayville and Islip. More than 100 passengers were in the coaches when the train arrived at Bay shore.
 While MT Hyde dressed they had to wait. After ten minutes the conductor was questioned ny some of the pas sengers. but they could get no explana- ton. Half an hour after schedule time MT Hyde's rubber-tired runabout came leisurely down the road. and there was immediate activity on the part of the train crew.
 NIT Hyde walked to the parlor ear. The crew bowed politely to him. When he was comfortably seated the signal to start was given. The train arrived fin Long Island City forty minutes late.

This did not satisfy the sleuths and they locked him up on the charge Of firing the revolver in the street.

AN AMUSING INCIDENT.
Former City Attorney. Webb Thought
 Reporters Pipe Camera.

Reporters Pipe Camera.
 New Haven.- July 25.-An amusing incident took place during the trial of Christian Van De Mark, the alleged dishonest trolley conductor. in the city court Friday afternoon. During re- cess one of the newspaper reporters went outside to smoke big pipe he had in his pocket, for the purpose of increasing his appreciation of some of the proceedings. Before he could fin ish the load court reconvened and he hastily dumped the ashes out As the pipe was too hot to put in his pocket, aud as he did not wish to display it in court, he carried it in under his coat and sat down to the press table.
 Suddenly, former City Attorney Webb, who is helping the state, arose and said: Your honor, I request that that nan (pointing to the reporter) be ordered from the court room; that the camera which he has under his coat be confiscated. and that any pictures Ee Elay have taken in the court room be destroyed
 Judge Tyner said to the reporter: '.Yol may hold up in the air whatever you nave under your coat" When the reporter complied, and the big pipe ,ap- peared in sight, such roar of laugh ter went up that it took some time to regain order. Attorney Fitzgerald, for the defense, then said that he thought an apology was due the reporter, and Judge Tyner concurred in this opin- ion, saying that he thought Mir Webb's remarks uncalled for.
 After the trial, MT Webb said to Mir Fitzgerald: Well, David. you have not slain Goliath yet and Mir Fitzgerald replied, No. Goliath, and l don't in- tend to by means of kodac fiends."
