BRIGHT BOY
GONE WRONG.
August Revis, Nine Years Old,
Given His last Chance and
Goes to County Court.

August Revis, nine wears old, whose
parents live at 292 Fayette street, and
who has been juvenile tramp for
over year. has been given his last
chance by the local authorities, and he
was this morning committed to the
county Jail by the recorder. Accom-
panying him to New Brunswick went
letter from the.recorder recommend
ing the reform school as the only pro-
per place for the boy.
August, who has been arrested
number of times, presents an interest
ing study in criminology. The young
ster has not had a proper chance, and
probably never really knew just when
he overstepped the bounds of right,
and entered wrong paths. Home con-
ditions are declared to have had much
to do with his habit-forming. He
has remained away, sometimes for
weeks. He has slept in every con-
ceivable kind of place, and lived by
his wits. He has been picked up by
officers, but has always been released
upon his fearful pleadings, and has
been taken home.
But the home atmosphere had
grown to be not congenial to him, and,
within short time, almost invari-
ably, have again.come reports of his
being ION the hobo.'
I
The boy is exceptionally bright for
one of his age, and the strength OF his
pleading is remarkable.
Abort week ago came the last re-
ports of his misdeeds. He had been
away from his home for some time,
and resident of the locality in which
the boys home is situated complained
that his garden was plundered by
August.
The boy finally returned home,
and yesterday an officer went after
him.
Even on the way to the station
house the boy tried to bribe..h is cap
tor to--release him.and say that he had
not caught him.
Yesterday afternoon and this morn
ing he stood upon the high window
sill at the front OF the corridor of the
lookup, looking with pleading eye,
and begging, when any Of the officers
got within earshot. for zone last
chance.
But the poor, misdirected youhgster,
grimy Of hand and slippery Of tongue,
could not improve if again set looss

Chief Burke May Act on Com.
plants About Drilling Freight
Across Smith Street.
THE DANCER AT NIGHT.
Gateman OFF Duty and People
Have no Warning Of
Their Danger.

Chief Burke has received COM
plaint against the Central railroad
for the manner in which freight
trains shift cars over the Smith street
crossing at night without having q
lagman or gate tender there. There
have been number of narrow escapes
and the people are alarmed.
Policeman Hanson told the chief
that Wednesday night, at 9:25 o o'clock,
engine No. 294 was at work in the
yard shifting cars and frequently it
would drag train across Smith street
without the least warning and that as
no gateman was on duty, people were
in danger of being killed.
The patrolman told the crew on the
engine that this was a dangerous prac-
tice and they replied that as they
were short-handed, they could not
help it. The policeman then warned
the people who were crossing to be on
their guard.
Chief Barke has given orders to the
policemen that the next time any
crew on the railroad shifts cars at
night without flagman on duty, to
arrest the whole crew. The chief says
it is against the law to shift cars in.
this manner and he has declared that
he will break it up.

DIPHTHERIA IS PREVALENT.
Leavenworth Afflicted With Several
Fatal Cases

Leavenworth, oct. 9.-What at first
appeared to be a mild form Of
diphtheria in separated portions of the
town has become an epidemic and is
increasing more rapidly every day and
has already caused three deaths dur
ing the past week.
The fact that diphtheria claimed
these victims has thoroughly alarmed
the people and in consequence they
report a case to the secretary Of the
board of health more promptly than
they have done heretofore, but de-
spite all precaution the spread of the
epidemic does not abate and there are
no indications that 1t will, at present.
There were fifteen cases under
quarantine yesterday. three new ones
having been reported.
