The man was Joseph Campbell who lived

he went down to the theater one night to
see the show, He was convinced that he
had found the missing girl before one
act was over and went around to the
stage door to have n talk with her When
dian he was laughed at. He persisted in
his efforts to see the girl and was fina lily
shooed away by the theater po!i,eman
Yesterday he heard that the Company

FEWER CHILDREN AT WORK.
Pennsylvania Child Labor Law Boosts
School Enr Olnients.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. Sept. 5.-A jump Of
20 per cent in the attendance at the OPEN
ing of the public schools to-day through
out eastern Pennsylvania is credited to the
new factory law passed by the last Legis-
lature. The law raised the age below
which children must attend school from
10 to IA years, and provides that all who
60 to work between the ages of IA and 81
must have certificate from the school
authorities. The superintendent Of this
city allowed only fifty-nine such children
to go to work.
Even farmers are not allowed to keep
their children at home, and the demand
for farm laborers has doubled wages. The
law is expected to have its greatest effect
in the coal regions and factory towns.

CENTRAL NEW I'ORK'S. FLOOD:
Danger Of Disease IN Icwns Which Have
No water for Cleaning Up.

UTICA, Sept. 5.-More complete reports
from the food stricken section, extending
from this city forty miles southwark. IN.
dictate that the loss will greatly exceed
all estimates previously made, probably
going above tho $500, 600 mark. Some OF
the townships will lose a great number OF
highway bridges, and to replace them
would be almost an impossibility unless
the towns get county or State aid.
In many places streets and roadways
are washed out to a depth OF ten or twelve
feet, and fine houses now stand on the
banks Of great canals where none before
existed. Thousands upon thousands OF
acres of garden produce have been washed
away and scores OF houses and barns
wrecked with enormous loss OF live stock.
Scores Of towns in Otseg0 and Chenango
counties are cut of from al! communica-
tion with the outside world, telephone

Lackawanna Railroad to-day u south OF
Norwich, where the Chenang go River worked
havoc with the railroad bee In many sec
tions. Forty-two miles OF this company's
tracks we're washed away. In the village
Of New Berlin there ia grave danger OF an
horrible stencil prevails and there is no
water with which to clean up the terrible
mess. The water mains were broken by
the cloudburst. The village presents
dismal picture. The streets are, filled with
goods. Everywhere the merchants and
residents are getting their stuff out into the
sun. There is very little that can be done
toward cleaning up on account of the diff,
Guilty in getting water. The stores and
houses are reeking with slime.
The reservoir at Sherburne having burst,
that village is in straits for water supply.
Repairs to the embankment that went
out are in progress but until these are
completed wells in the village will have to
be used to furnish supply for drinking
and cooking purposes.
As many of these have undoubtedly be-
come contaminated the danger from a
spread of infection is great.

PLUNDERED FOR THEIR CHIEF.
BOYS or THE BAND HAD TO
BROWSE ON FREE Lunch.

Sleuth. Twice Bamed. Caught the FOuI
DespOllIng Trolley Car and An
dlicting Bottled Lager-Nickie a
Large, but Buyer Of Brass in the Tolls
James Wade, a junk dealer of sos Tenth
avenue, was arraigned in the West Side
court yesterday on the charge OF receiving
stolen goods The stolen goods were brass
rings about foot in diameter. such az are
used to fasten the glass on the headlights OF
trolley cars. He was held in $500 for ex-
animation to-day.
Four small boys who sold the stuff to
Wade were used as witnesses against him.
They were Henry Farrell, IA years old, OF
$50 West Forty-third street, Christopher
Cavanaugh. II years, and his brother John,
years, both living at Forty-third street
and Tenth avenue, and Stephen Leonard,
9years old, OF 252 West Twenty third street.
Fonr more cheerful, tattered ragamuffins 1t
would be hard to find in New York.
The fact that they were under arrest
didn't disturb them in the least. while the
equally evident fact that they would get
few real meals and a genuine bed to sleep
in, and all for nothing, seemed like a
gift from the gods. Meals have been
rather scarce with the members OF the gang
lately. The bed Of course didn't matter
80 much. except when 1t rained and they had
to sleep in the wet.
Farrell, who was the leader, hadn't been
home for a week before he was arrested.
He spent his nights in vacant lot AND his
days learning. the profitable game OF doing
attacks upon salo6n free inches, They
got into the saloons. they said, under the
pretense of selling papers.
Their favorite graft, they said, was TO
jump on the rear bumper OF trolley car
and remove the brass ring while the con
rings were worth about so cents, be.
ing Of solid brass and weighing several
pounds. They sold them to Wade for ten
cents, they said, and the hard part OF 1t
was that they never saw the coin after
doing all the work. One Of the four has
who was absolute lord of the gang and
got all the proceeds, they said. didn't
give them even enough to get meal with.
That was why they had to depend on the
free lunches.
The four were captured by Policeman
Long,iet Of the West Forty-seventh street
station. who had been especially detailed
to find out where so many headlight rings
went to. On Monday he saw the gang get
away with two, but they were too fleet for
him, and escaped. Yesterday he saw the
gang get on the rear of an Eighth avenue
car at Forty-second street and take the
brass ring. They jumped off the car crept
bottles of beer. Then Longuet collared
them with the goods on.
A search of Wade's store revealed seven
Of the brass rings, and they were taken to
court to be used as evidence. The young
sters made no attempt to deny their guilt.
Stealing headlight rings didn't impress
them as very serious matter. They were
taken to the Gerry society rooms.
