Pvolver twice. 1t was the latter trick
which led the Broolkynites to fear
that he was up against the real thing.
the chase Bergan lost his hat, which
as found later by Huerich.
The prisoner passed through a build
ing In the course of construction in
Waverly avenue, and this brought him
INTO the yard in the rear of 226 Charl-
ton street. Morris Goldenberger n his
wife, Rose, who were recently married,
hccupy the fiat on the third floor, up
u which Bergan climbed on the fire
escape, and when he arrived at the
third floor he opened the blinds and
was about to pry open the window
with a jimmy when Mrs. Rosenberger
awoke.
Morris, someone is trying to break
in" whispered the young wife to her
husband.
"Well, you keep quiet and I will see,"
said the husband. AT the same time
HI got out of bed, and as he was about
to open the window, the strange man
lost no time In retreating. Golden
berger and his wife rushed to the front
window and shouted for the police a
dozen or more times, and Heurich's
attention was thus called and he
quickly Investigated. Although the in
truder had about 100 yards handicap
he started in pursuit. and when the
man saw Heurich gaining he rushed
into a yard and jumped several fences
in quick succession.
Heurich at this point realized that he
was supposed to perform the duties of
q policeman and not an athlete and he
warned his opponent that he would
shoot If he did not stop. This appar-
emily had no effect, and the bluecoat
whipped out his revolver and fired n
shot in the air, but his man continued
TO scale the FENCES, ana fteuFlcn tneH
let a bullet whiz a few feet past the
fugitive, and this time Bergman de-
cided that 1t was best to quit.
When Heurich %pounced on him the
prisoner pretended that he was inno-
cent, but the athletic peace guardian
took him to the Charlton street house
to be identied by the Goldenberger's.
Both said that Bergman was the
man who had attempted q few min
utes previous to gain an entrance to
their house. Following this, Heurich
compelled Bergman to measure his
footmarks with those on the fire escape,
and when they correspondent he sent
Bergman in.
Acting Captain McGovern recog-
nized the prisoner as an old offender,
and he was sent to police h~eadquar-
tiers. The police are confident that they
can fasten on him at least several of
the many robberies recently made on
the Hill. The prisoner is partly bald.
and he wears shoes styled as sneak
ers.'' His topcoat Is made of alpaca.

BURNED IN BOAT.
Girls Clothing Is Destroyed and Her
Flesh Seared-Has Narrow Escape.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19.-Edwin G.
Barton and his wife, of this place;
Miss Florence Edwards and William
Hendler, of Camden, N. j., had a thrill
ing experience Saturday night in a
launch on the Delaware River, near
New Castle.
Gasoline leaking from the tank in
the boat was ignited and set fire to
Miss Edwards's dress. The launch also
took fire, and but for the presence OF
mind of the two men the tiny craft
and it's occupants might have been
burned. Fortunately there was a tank
of chemicals with which to fight a fire.
and this was turned on Miss Edwards
and the burning portion of the boat.
The dress was almost completely de-
stroyed and Miss Edwards suffered
burns.

modest and moderate compared with
any Montreal street shown In these
photographs.
For 20 years Philadelphia has
made sporadic efforts 10 get wires
underground and with some success.
Wires In evidence has decreased,
while wires in use had greatly In
creased. Montreal shows the In
crease without any attempt seeming
ly TO keep them out of sight. and
the result is a jungle OF wires, dis
figuring the streets OF a great city
and blocking the. paths of the fire
fighters far beyond what any other
city is willing to endure.
This article recltes that Philadel-
phla has $40 miles of underground
conduit owned by ten different cor
porations and SO miles beloning TO
the city. The latter are occupied by
the city's wires and through lease
by the wires and cables OF ten differ
ent corporations. In spite of this the
overhead wire evil is a substantial
and serious one, but the wires do not
appear on the principal streets west
of Third, between Race and Walnut,
except on Tenth street. This is
great advance but only a first step
in the great work of putting under
ground all the overhead wires that
now affiiet the city.
Baltimore, whose overhead wires
crippled the fre-fghting service so
severely in that city's great confia-
grafton, has adopted and is putting
into effect the policy of having all
telegraph and telephone wires under
ground.
Boston has about rid itself Of its
overhead wires, except trolley wires,
and New York, the old city, having
never given hospitality to trolley
wires, finds its task simplied. Near
ly all wires OF all sorts in the bor-
cugh of Manhattan are underground,
though Brooklyn and the Bronx are
still afflicted by the system OF over
head wires. q.
Overhead wires In city are
mark of inferior administration. A
city managed as 1t should be will
have no overheard wires. There Is
no prospect at present Of the aboli-
tion of overhead trolley wires in this
city. but the policy OF putting all
other wires underground might well
be pushed with much greater vigor.
The menace of the overhead wires
Is a fire risk. ..

"they increase the chances OF fire
from electricity and seriously ham

Insurance Engineering. which is a

article on "The Menace of overhead

which, in the matter of overhead

Very choice steers weighing slightly

sold at $500 a $6.35, Common hight

call for liberal receipts as long as this

there was practically no stocker and
