NO CLUES TO
PICKPOCKETS


The police have not found any
other clues to the pickpockets who
stole 5000 on the trolley cars in this
city Sunday. The police are quite
sure that the men left town by troll
ley, by way of Railway. but further
than that they know nothing
Sergeant Dunham said this morn
ing that the same parties will un-
doubtedly visit this city again. Their
catch Sunday was so large that they
could not resist the temptation to try
us again. Sergeant Dunham thinks
that the day of the firemen's parade
in this city would be a great oppor-
tunity for the thieves to get in tfeil
work again and the police will ha e
their eyes open on that occasion. On
the day of the last firemen's parade,
a suspicious negro was seen by the
police around the Lincolns' house
and, when approached by the police
man, he hastily moved toward the
ferry and got into New York state as
quickly as possible.
If the pickpockets come this way
again this summer the police say that
they will be ready to give them a
warm reception.

Delay on Staten Island R. R.

The people living along the line of
the Staten Island Rapid Transit rail-
road who work in this city were de-
layed about half-hour in getting to
work this morning. The cause OF the
delay was because engine No. 27, in
charge of Engineer York, left the
track in the yard in Tottenville at
IS O'Clock this morning. AS this en-
gine takes the first train out of that
place in the morning and returns
again at 7:10 o'clock, it did not ar
rive this morning until 7:40. The
passengers did not get to this city un-
til 7:55 o'clock

witnesses were discharged.
Possibilities Of Punishment.
Judge Lands is empowered to fix
the fine at any sum between $1,000 and
100000 for each count, of which there
were 1,462 in the Indictment.
Could Go to Millions.
Thus the maximum fine is $29, 240,-
900. but as the capital stock of the
Indiana company is but 81, 900, 900, the
supreme court might deem a maxi
mum fine as falling in the class of
cruel and unusua punishment prohib-
tied by the constitution.
Limit of Appeal.
If it is shown, however, that the
Indiana company is merely subsidiary
to the New Jersey company, with a
capital of 500, OOO, 900, no such appeal
could be made.
