A Pair of BlackmailerS.

A man and woman who work Q
'Ret rich quick" scheme of their own
NAV visit Danvills soon. The coupl.
, visited Wiikesbarrs last week aud it /.
estimated that during the four days OF
the Forestsrs' convention there. they
must have cleared in the neighborhooi
, of $500. 90.
Their scheme is q very bold form Of
black mail, aud it has come 10 ths
no W ledge of the police who are oOtn-
piling evidence in order to proceed
against the pair. who are knowu.
The system of the crooked pair l.
some " hat as follows:
They NO to good hotel. registering g
as man and wife; always chosinR n
hotel 10 which there are q number of
guests. which was easy during the con-
vention v hen all the public houses
were crowded.
After having been ut the hotel a
short time the man would mako the
acquaintance OF some of the other
guests, mA Aking himself as agrees BILE AZ
possible.
lie would then introduce acquaint-
auces to his wife. who would always
appear to be very muc ch pleased to
met the friend of her dear husband.
soon afterward the two men would
become engaged in game of pool or
billiards during which lie would Ie-
oeive a telegram, calling him IN sud-
den emergency to Scranton.
The game would be Immediately
stopped. and the crook, handing the
message to his friend would ask of
him to give it to his wife aud explain
to her that he had no time for fare
wells, say ing that he. would return in
the morning.
The friend would take the telegram
and would search for the wife. but he
would find her out walking SO he
would 60 about his business until
evening, when he would find out ut
what spot the woman was rooming
aud would then 60 to her room with
the message.
Knocking at the door he would be
invited to enter. aud. after u few min.
utes of conversation, when lie would
be preparing to leave. he would be
confronted by the husband. who would
say that he. had been able unexpected
ly to return from Scranton that even
ing, and he would appear to be very
angry and Mortified and would want
to kill tile friend.
Then he would threaten arrest. the
woman backing up his charges. but
would agree to settle for certain
sum. The victim then generally paid
over an amount ranging from $50 to
5000 in order to avert scandal. and the
loving couple would depart to anoth-
er hotel, where they would fleece q
new victim.
One man. who 10 a stranger. is known
to have paid over 5000, and others
have paid various sums. although none
less than $50.

Passed Through Sunbury,

The explosive which caused such
dreadful results in the wreck at South
Harrisburg early Thursday morning,
passed through Sunburv on Wednesday
last. 1t was manufactured by the Key
stone Powder company Of Emporium.
There we're four hundred fifty pound
boxes in the car and it was consigned
to Contractor Kerbough. OF Columbia.
1t is likely that u considerable por-
tiou Of the investigation Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad an uthorities into the
causes of the Harrisburg wreck. and
the consequent loss Of life and injury
to l50 parsons, will be directed to the
conveyance and handling Of dynamite
and other explosives. 1t has been stat.
ed that the awful disaster may result
in the COMPANY issuing orders not to
carry in the future, explosives Of this
kind. except under extraordinary cir
cumstanoes.
From statements made it Is estimat-
ed that the Investigation will resul It
in the material changing Of the meth.
ods of packing. President Baer of the
Reading. sees the Importance Of max
ing radical change. and has SO in
structed his 50 subordinatss.
He has suggested the building of q
special car or cars. with padded sides
and other ways of reducing ooncussion
to minimum for the transportation
Of explosives.
The D. L. & W. Railroad absolute.
ly refuses to allow dynamite or other
explosives on its lines. To this rule
there is positively no exception. OH.
er railroads, however, carry it because
they say they are obliged to. being
common carriers. Five years ago there
was q bad freight wreck on the Lack.
awanns's Buffalo division.
A greater part of small town was
wrecked by the explosion Of three cars
Of dynamite aud . number Of opera
tives lost their lives. That was les.
son for the Lackawanna Company. 1t
has needed the lesson aud the officials
assert that no amount Of profits from
hauling dangerous explosives atone for
the great risk and responsibility entail
| ed.
Elmer E. Brode, president Of Enter.
prise High Explosive Company OF
Philadelphia who in the course Of long
experience has shipped 10000. 600
pounds Of dynamite without any ac-
oident during transportation says that.
as far as he understands the catss.
trophe at Harrisburg. it was similar
to that Of LOCUST Gap. on the Read.
ing. about twelve years ago. when a
railroad wreck caught Ere.
The only other instance OF explosion
Of dynamite during transportation. as
he remembers. was at Nanticoke. six
years ago. There the accident was
caused by the breaking into two parts
of the train Carrying the dynamite and
the RAINING of the rear into the fore
| part with sufficient force to generate
sparks.
