Fight With Brass Thief.

Charles BuffanO, an Italian. who was
to be sentenced for stealing brass jour
nails from the Susquehanna Railroad
in December last, was caught at thd
same work at MountaiDview by four
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad detectives. Buffano opened
fire on the detectives when cornered
and they returned the fire. William
Jenicke, of Jersey City, was shot in
the left breast. Patrick Downing, of
Hoboken, received a bullet in the right
hip. Buffano was shot four times, but
jumped into the Morris Canal, along
the towpath of which the fight took
place. He begged for mercy after he
got into the water, and the detectives
fished him out. Buffano had bullets
in his right breast, right side and arm,
and hole through his left lung and
back. A doctor who was on the train
pronounced him dead, but DR.. Small
wood, of st. Joseph's Hospital, Pater.

taken out of him. While on the eleya,
tor, going from the operating room to
the ward, Buffano who had been

Detective Howard Stapley's revolver
from his pocket. Stanley raped Buf;

and he became quiet. Buffano and
members of gang controlled by him
have given the railroads near Pater

three months.

Cape May Point will make another
effort during the session of the present
Legislature to secure reincorporation
as borough. 1t was incorporated in
1873, and, after an existence Of several
years, the act under which it had been
incorporated was declared unconstitu.
tlonal. A second act shared a like
fate. This discouraged the people, and
they declined to accept later charter.
The bonded debt OF the old borough
has now been practically wiped out,
the validity Of thepresent borough laws
sustained. and there is strong feeling
that the resort will not prosper until ii
is again set apart as a borough and
permitted to govern itself, expending
its taxes for its own Improvement in.

Following the successful test OF two
gasolene cars on the Union Pacific and
the ordering of third by that road
comes the announcement from Cleve-
land that the Lake Shore road has de-
cided to put eight or ten similar
coaches into operation in the vicinity
OF that city. This is development
OF much Importance to everyone who
Is interested In the Improvement of
local and suburban traffic on our steam
railways says the Providence Journal.
The competition OF the troIleys has
seriously affected the short-haul pas
Senger business Of the steam corpora
lions and nothing else now In sight
gives better promise Of a solution OF
the resultant problem than the gasolene
car, with which the Union Pacific has
attained such excellent results. The
advantage Of this type Of vehicle over
the trolley system, for use on steam
tracks, is that each car is unit, car
rying its own power, while the trolley
car requires frequent power houses
upon the continued frequency of which
the smooth operation of the entire road
depends. The gasolene car cas- be
economically run, and, provided it can
demonstrate its freedom from exasper-
ating breakdowns, should go far TO-
