Pirates Alarm
N. Y. by Dock Thefts
International News service)

NEWS OGINlCGl
NEW YORK, July 24.-Juvenile wa
ter pirates along the wharves and
docks have caused considerable trOu-
BILE for the police recently.
Down along West street, where
great cargoes of vegetables and fruits
discharged from vessels await pur-
chase by commission agents. the boys
are active every night, prowling along
in the dark, providing vegetables for
themselves without pay.
So amazing is their success that the
steamship companies and railroads
employ special watchmen to guard
against the depredations, since they
are responsible for the consignments.
MOI is the strategy of the young
sters to be sneered at. AS the hours
go by their advance becomes more
rapid. In many instances a group will
feint boldly an attack in one direction
while another group steals up unob-
served at an extreme point, the watch
man being too much occupied with the
first force to notice the second.
The fruit and vegetable crates and
bags of potatoes are quickly emptied
bv the children, who seize the prod
ucts and make off before being dis
covered. So that the members of the
other group may get their share they
then assume in their turn the func-
ton of enticing away the Waterman
Three of the big freight receiving
stations of the Old Dominion line, al
Piers 25 and 26. at Laight street, are
pillaged each night by the youngsters
despite the efforts of the watchmen.

TWO SOLDIERS ARRESTED.
They Were in Fight with Civilian at
Winooski.

! Winooski, March 29.-Eli Lamarre and
John Gabrielson, two soldiers, received
heavy sentences in municipal court yes
terday, being sentenced to not less than
| is months nor more than two years at
| the house of correction for a breach OF
the peace. The soldiers are hard charac-
ters and have been in court before on
similar charges. Tuesday night they
met man by the name of John Brooks,
from Bristol and Edward Delorge(, who
was with Brooks in local saloon.
After a few drinks they suggested going
to the rear of the fort, and when the
reached the place they became argu-
'mentative with Delorge and told him to
"beat it while the going was good" He
obeyed and after he went Brooks is said
to have been attacked.
When near the door Brooks was hit
over the head by one of the soldiers by
what he, Brooks, thought was bottle
He did not lose consciousness, though,
but began to fight. He knocked down the
man who hit him, only to have the 9th
er soldier pounce upon him. He broke
loose from them and ran away. He hid
in some bushes by the road and when
the soldiers passed he went back toward
the house and found his hat and the
hat of one of the soldiers, the latter's
serving as means of identity.
Brooks returned to the village and no
tilted Officer Wardwell, who in turn no
titled Chief Barber. Yesterday morning
the chief learned that two soldiers had
walked across the bridge toward Burling
ton. Thinking they were the men want
ed, he hired team and went after them.
They were apprehendcd on the lower
road near the old baseball park and
taken to the Jail in Burlington. At
first it was thought they would be tried
on the charge of assault and battery
with intent to rob, but this was changed
to breach OF the peace. Brooks thought
they wanted his money, as he had quite
a sum with him.

Burning Coal Beds Form Natural Brick

Many coal beds in the great coal fields
of the western states have at some time
taken fire and burned along their out
crops, baking and reddening the overly
ing strata so that they have become a
kind of natural brick or terra Gotta. The
| fires were in places hot enough to use and
recrystallize the everything shale and
sandstone so as to form natural Stag. At
some places this Stag resembles true ig
neous rock; at Others it consists largely
of rare minerals. Thoroughly fused Stag
seems TO occur chiefly in crevices or
chimneys through which the hot gases
generated in the burning escaped through
the everything strata TO the surface. The
chimney shaped masses of Stag are hard
er than the surrounding baked rock
and after that has weathered away,
form the curious pnnacles that sur
mount many clinker bluffs or buttes in
the west
Some of the coal beds, especially those
exposed on the higher hills, were per-
haps ignited by lightning, others, ac
cording TO authenticated reports,
were ignited by prairie fires or camp
fires; but as burning on the outcrop has
been so common as to affect most of
the coal beds in an area of more than
10000 square miles, much of it has prob
ably been due to spontaneous combus
ton.
Coal beds are now burning at or near
the surface at many places in the west,
where the burning of the bed is disclosed
by the smoke and fumes that arise from
it and by the heat at the surface of
the earth near the outcrop or above the
bed-heat so intense that it kills all
vegetation.
