crimes Hold-up after hold-up has occurred AS

and still are at large to plague the community.
The attack made upon Clement Burris the New
Castle road by two highwaymen last week is merely
another instance tending to show how dangerous even
most prominent highways have become for law
abiding persons. In this instance two who dis
played pistols, not only stopped young Burrs and
dragged him from his horse but beat him mercessy

bly that persons who merely seeking to pro-

EFFIcIENCY THE THING DESTRED.

our Police Commissioners have made mistake
- in accepting the Invitation to confer this evening
with those who compose the Police and the
Finance committees Of City Council There will be
nothing binding in the conference It will be held

convinced Just rmly that the reforms needed can
be brought about without the city being subjected to
the expense which wonld attend the employment Of
such expert The conference this evening may lead
to course of action that will be satisfactory to
everyone and at the time put the Police Depart

a prosperous-looking and well-dressed
man, who has resided in various sec
tons of the country, but who for
some time has been living in viii
mington, on charge of alleged
fraudulent use of the mail.
The arrest was brought about at
the instigation of Postal Inspector
NJ. S. Plummer, who has been on the
mans trail for some time. The deputy
lmarshals have been watching the gen
ieral delivery window at the local
lpostofiice for several days, and arrest
ed Patterson about 1890 o'clock this
Afternoon, when he called for mail.
He Is suspected of being a man who
has given the United States Gov
lernment much trouble for the past
three years through the alleged
fraudulent use of the mails in vari-
GUS sections. Following his arrest
today, Postmaster General Cortelyou,
at Washington, was notified He will
be given a preliminary hearing before
United States Commissioner Mahaffy
late today.
The arrest was made upon a com
plant made by the John A. Roebline
and Son Company of Trenton, n j. The
complaint alleges that Patterson has
had correspondence with the company oil

views with them, representing that he
was authorized TO purchase large quan.
titles of cable or wire rope. Ii is al

authorized by large firm to make such
a purchase, and that he favored the
purchase of the wire rope from tn,

cessary to have his hotel bills and car
fare paid, and it is charged he made
various requests upon the Roeblinq
Company for payment Of hotel bills and
travelling expenses. In making these re.
quests he is alleged to have used letter
heads belonging to the Hotel Dupont
and Clayton House in this city.
The complaint further alleges that the
corporation supposed to be represented
by Patterson was fake" and did not
contemplate the purchase of wire rope,
and that il was simply an effort on Pat
terson's part to obtain money without
rendering any service in return
Should Patterson turn out to be the
man the local authorities expect him tc
ibc it will mean that Inspector Plumme
will have accomplished one of the mos
important arrests ever made in this city
Jas the Urited States government has beer
hot upon the trail Of such man fo
nearly three years without being able t'
land him. II is alleged he uses station
erv OF the most important and largest
hotel in each city to accomplish his
ends.
