OF HIS THREAT

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 6.-Revenge
for wrongs which he believed his fam
lily has suffered at the hands Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, is believed to
be the motive underlying the threats
Of dynamiting made against the rail-
road by Abraham c. Eby, mayor of
Burkeville, Va, now in Moyamensing
prison here awaiting the action of the
Federal grand jury which meets In
September
Investigation Is said to have reveal
cd that Samuel Eby. father Of the man
in custody was ruined when the big
corporation absorbe da branch road in
Virginia i'm which tho elder Eby held
a majority of the securities.
When threatening letters from Eby
began to reach President McCreas
Office last month the railroad authori-
ties thought they were dealing with
q maniac, and proceeded with extreme
caution. But Eby after his arrest and
arraignment yesterday before United
States Commissioner Craig. displayed
no signs Of menih lderangement. His
demeanor at the hearing was calm and
thoughtful.
Ehy was bold IN $4,000 bail which

ment

Augustus NJ. Stevenson, known pro-
fessionally as De Alma "handcuh
king" Of this city. is under arrest in
Philadelphia on a wilmington war
rant charging him with the larceny
Of stage apparatus including hand
cuffs, etc, which Peter Cappel, of this
city, claims belongs to him. The latter
had the warrant issued at tho office
Of City Court Clerk Sasse several days
ago. and 1t was sent TO Philadelphia
where Stevenson was apprehended.
Stevenson did his tricks at Brandy
wine Springs Park and also In one Of
the local five-cent theatres. He amazed
aVlarge crowd by jumping overheard
at Market street bridge manacled, and
freeing himself under water
From what can be learned OF the
case Stevenson and Cappel were in
partnership at one time, and the ques-
ito nof the ownership OF the para
phernalia is involved in the case.
When the police in Philadelphia
learned how clever Stevenson was with
the handouts, two officers were de-
tached to guard him in his cell. lie
did not get a chance to demonstrate
his ability before being arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Beaton and held to
await requisition papers.
stevenson declares that the para
phernalia he is accused Of carrying
away belong to himself and wife and
has been in constant use by them at
vaudeville theatres.

Character Arrested.

Frank Wallace, plain tramp as ar
rested at the railroad station early Mon
day morning and Justice F. Nj. Foote
sentenced him to thirty days in the
county Jail, where he is now enjoying
life as much as possible under the cir
cumstances.
The arrest followed the discovery Sun
day night by the train crew of special
freight bound north of an obstruction on
the track, consisting of ties and stones
placed under one of the cars. The work
was probably that of boys and was easily
removed. The Office in Rutland was
notified and special officer John w.
Brislain of Rutland was detailed on the
case, arriving on the sleeper Monday
morning. Deputy Sheriff n. j. Sanford
accompanied the special officer and in
their search Wallace was discovered
sleeping in box car on a siding near
where the obstruction was discovered,
and he was arrested.
1t is probable that the charge of at
tempted train wrecking will not be
pushed against the prisoner
