Middletown, n. y, Oct. 24.-By the
alleged confession of Charles Boos, until
a few days ago Superintendent of the
Waikiki Transit Company's lines in
Orange, q spectacular police mystery
ha sheen solved According to the po'
lice he admitted to them yesterday that
he had robbed one of the larges depart
ment stores in the city besides several
residences in the last few months.
Boos jestingly reminded police that
he, himself, had raised the hue and cry
one night a few weeks ago when burg
lar was chased out of the residence
of +. P. S. Crane. a wealthy man. He
said the police were SO close to him
before he got out of the house that he
ran ahead of them shouting, stop thief
catch that mani" This ruse worked so
well that Boos resorted to it again a
few nights later when he had forced
his way into the home of ]. l.. Pendle'
ton and from which he was frightened
by an alarm.
A Modern Social Highwayman.
Boos is regarded as modern social
highwayman. He drew large salary
as superintendent of the big transit cor
poration and lived in good style in
apartments on one of the best streets
in the city. He was popular in society
and dressed in the latest fashion. lie
was apparently one OF the busiest men
in the town, and had no time for any
thing but work, and seemed an ex-
man OF business.
Great was the amazement when il
became known last Friday that Boos
had been arrested and locked up. The
charge against him was made by the
officials of the Transit Company. II
was charged that the superintendent
had stolen a large quantity of copper
wire from the company and sold it to
a junk dealer.
A subsequent search of Boos' fine
apartments revealed plunder for which
the police had been looking and which,
it is alleged was taken from depart
ment store and private residences. Con-
fronted with the goods, Boos, it is said
confessed.
Boos' bachelor apartments were the
best in town and incidentally he had
added to their comfort by tapping the
wires Of the company from which he
lrew a large salary and furnishing his
rooms viii five incandescant lights.

SIGNED MANY BILLS.
President Roosevelt Attached Sigma
ture to 1,S42 Measures During
Past Session of Congress.

Washington, March 13.-During the
session of congress which.closed on the
4th inst, President Roosevelt signed
1872 measures passed by the senate
and house of representatives, the foot
ings of the enactments have just been
completed by Col. William NJ Palmer,
assistant clerk of the senate commit
tee on enrolled bills, and Morris A.
Latta, enrolling clerk at the white
house, through the hands of whom all
the measures passed. Both Col. Palmer
and Mr.. Latta have handled the enact
ments of the congress for many years,
and not a bill ever has been mislaid,
and not one ever has failed of approval
through negligence. Of the measures
enacted at the last session, 238 were
public bills, including IA appropriation
bills, 1863 were private bills, "a were
public resolutions, and one was a pri-
vate resolution. The total number OF
enactments during the previous session
of the Fifty-eighth congress, which was
nearly two months longer than the ses-
sion just closed, was 2,199. 1t is note
worthy that nearly two-thirds of the
measures enacted at the last session
were delivered at the white house by
Col Palmer for the approval of the
president during the last two weeks of
the session.
