HORSES AND HoRsEMEN.

A couple of horse swappers in
Paterson, IN. j., agreed to trade
horses without looking" out Of
sight, unseen, the other day, and
when the time for delivery arrived
one of the men brought out wooden
rocking horse. AS the kind of horse
was not stipulated, and the artificial
steed being of the color and age rep
resented, the bargain held good, and
possibly the owner of the wooden
horse got the best of it.
St. Adams can boast of having the
best registered stallion in the state,
says the Messenger of that city. He
is "Silver Allen" No. 1920. He is
the horse which has attracted so
much attention on the streets for the
past year, being driven by lis owner,

years old, IS hands and 2 inches

Crowded Condition Of the
Cars Has Made Pick
pockets Active Lately
on All City Lines.
DETECTIVES on THE TRACK
Three Arrests Made Last
Night of Suspicious Pas
sengers Who Prove to
Be Past Offenders.


For some weeks past numerous pas
sengers on the various trolley lines Of
the city have been the victims Of pick
pockets who take advantage Of the
crowded condition Of the cars during
rush hours to ply their avocation. De-
tective-sergeants Lee, Pearson and Lar
kin weree assigned to watch out for the
thieves. The result was the arrest Of
three men last evening on a Grove
street line car going north. While they
were not caught directly in any act Of
picking any ones pockets, their actions
We're so suspicious as to warrant their
arrest. The complainant against thern
was Constable Frank Hagns. Tie
three men gave their names and address
es as Harry Wilson, twenty-eight years
old, cooper, No. % West Thirty sfsurth
street, New York; Charles Wilder, thir-
ty-fve years old. laborer, New York
City, and George Williams twenty-tTe
years old, electrician, No. % West Twen-

booked merely as disorderly persons and
when aTaigned in the First Criminal
Court this morning were held at the re-
quest Of Chief Of Police Murphy until
next Tuesday, until the records Of al
three can be looked up. Bail was fixed
at $1,000 for each one of the suspected
men.
The three men were stood up IN the
Chiefs oftice and Wilson and Williams
were identified by Deteetive-sergeant
Kane and New York detectives, and by
Detectives Weinthal and Fallen, Of He-
boken, as past offenders. Little is known
about Wilder. The three VS. each pro-
tested innocence. Williams, the youngest
of the three, has been identified by his

FIXING The 81 AME
Grand Jury Summoned the
Financiers to Tell Why
the Snow Had Not
Been Removed.

Members Of the Finance Board and
the Street and Water Board. with the
clerks OF both Boards, and representa-
tives Of the Public Service Corporation
were summoned before the Grand Jury
yesterday afternoon in connection with
an investigation being made by that body
with view 10 fixing the responsibility
for the non-remoyal Of snow from the
streets. None Of the Commissioners,
however. were called into the Grand
jury room. Clerk Bouton Of the Street
and Water Board and Clerk Heath Of
the Finance Board were called in and
explained the condition of affairs. SUI
pefintendent Lahey Of the Maintenance
Department Of the Public Service Cor
poration represented that concern.
It is not known what will be the out
come of the investigation. 1t was un-
derstood after conference on the sub
Jeet immediately after the recent biz
zard that the Public Service Corporation
and the City would share equally the
expense Of the removal Of the snow.
The Street and Water Board put men
to work and the Public Service Corpo
ration did the same, and for some days
it was no uncommon sight to see snow
cars bearing away tons of snow along
with the army Of carts of various CON
tractors. As soon as the trolley lines
We're fully opened up the snow cars dis
appeared, and 50 did the carts of the
various CONTRACTORS.
The Finance Board refused to make
any further appropriation than it had
already made. 1t was understood that
the Street and Water Board was to go
ahead on the City's share of the COM
pact, and send in the bills as fast as
required that a way would be found

getting in his fine work and has mate
rally reduced the amount to be re-
moved, but the streets have been at
times almost impossible on account of
