How Three lads lave Been
. Puzzling the Police.
THEY AEE CAUGHT AT LAST
The Peculiar Manner in Which They
Eluded Detection.
HORSES AND WAGONS BADLY MIXED
Two of the Boys On! j Eleven and the Third
Hine Tears Old.
EESPECTABLE FAMILIES ISTOLTED.
A startling instance of youthful deprav
ity or maliciousness was revealed by the
police last evening. It was simply a dis--closure
of the fact that three lads have, for
several months, been engaged in stealing
horses in this city, and have, by a peculiar
method, eluded the police for a long time.
For three or four months the police have
been greatly puzzled by their inability to
discover lost teams. It scarcely ever hap
pens that a horse and buggy or wagoa are
stolen -without the sending of a report
to the police. The officers usually depend
upon the description of the wagon
more than upon the description of the
horse, in their efforts to find the missing
team, because wagons differ more in their
make-up and color than do horses. During
the summer cases have come where a bay
horse was attached to a buck wagon and a
white horse to a red grocer's cart. The po
lice, after two or three days, would discover
the bay horse attached to'the grocer's cart,
and were greatly puzzled. It rarely hap
pens that so much difficulty is experienced
in recovering missing rigs as has been the
case during the past summer, but the clew
was at last discovered.
MAST LOSSES BETORTED.
Among the cases reported to the police
was that of a man named William Singer,
a teamster, who lost a horse and wagon
about three weeks ago. Pat Dean reported
the loss of a horse and wagon about a fort
sight since. The same misfortune hap
pened about that time to Charles Cella, of
Bedford avenue. On Friday an Allegheny
grocer reported to the police that he had
lost a bay horse and a red wagon. He gave
a good description of both beast and vehicle,
,and during Friday night the wagon was
louud standing on Tenth street, near where
the wagons of P. D. Casey and Adler,
.Boedelheim & Co., wholesale liquor deal
ers, usually stand. The horse was not dis
coverable at that time.
Early yesterday morning the theft was
'reported of a horse and wagon from
Mrs. W. Joyce, who keeps a grocery store
on Trv street, near Old avenue. A young
man started out witn a horse and buggy to
search for the missing rig. Shortly before
dark last evening he came across the wagon
on Fifth avenue. A strange horse was at
tached to it and three small boys sat on the
seat. The young man pulled up beside the
outfit, when the boys, who evidently knew
him, jumped off the wagon and ran away as
-last as their small legs would carry them.
TBACING A "WAGON.
The young man conveyed the horse and
wagon to Mrs. Joyce's store, and reported a
careful description of the horse to the police
at Central station. The horse was discov
ered to be the property of the Allegheny
grocer. The young man said he believed
'that one of the boys was "Willie Sullivan,
whose parents live at No. 112 High street.
The others he did not know.
Detective John McTighe was sent out to
search for the boys. He was given a good
description of young Sullivan, and in a few
minutes ran across him by accident, on
Grant street. He was accompanied by an
other lad of about the Fame age, and Detect
ive McTighe took both lads to the Central
station. There the second boy gave his
-name as Willie Fitzpatrick, living on "Wil
son street. The boys conlessed that they
had been stealing horses and wagons for
some time. They said that it was their
habit to unhitch a horse from a wagon aftr
they had driven it a short distance, and
'hitch it to another stolen wagon.
BAFFLING THE rOLICE.
Thus they baffled the police in a manner
which Inspector McAleese says would do
credit to old professional thieves. The boys
said that they used the stolen rigs to haul
garbage, ashes or anything else they could
get, by which means they made "enough
money "to buy cigarettes and pies. "When
they had used the unmated horse and wagon
for a day or two they would leave them
standing in the street, to puzzle the police.
Both lads gave their ages as 11, and as their
companion in the work they named Charlie
O'Donnell, of No. 15 High street. Charlie
was arrested at his mother's house. He
roved to be only 9 years old.
MOTHEES AND.SISTEBS THEBE.
Soon after the boys were locked up the
Central station was thronged with women,
the mothers and sisters of the juvenile pris
oneis. Assistant Superintendent O'Mara
(and Inspector McAleese wereappealed to bv
pretty faces and tear-stained countenances,
but in vain. Mrs. O'Donnell was especially
plaintive in her entreaties for the release of
her boy, promising that she would keep him
for the officers to-day if they would only let
him go home forthenight. All supplications
were unavailing, but Inspector McAleese
finally consented to telegraph to Mr. O'Don
nell, in Wheeling, to come home and looc
after his son. The Sullivan and Fitzpat
rick families sustain good reputations in the
hill district.
The boys were charged on the blotter with
being suspicious persons. To-morrow morn
ing they will be arraigned before Magistrate
Gnpp on charges of larceny, and the police
say that they will probably be sent to Mor
ganza. HIS COAT STOLEN.
But Sir. Blelvln Refuted to Inform the Police
of His Lobs.
C. L. Melvin, a passenger to the Lake
Erie depot last night, had his overcoat
stolen in front of the waiting room. He
left his overcoat and umbrella on the
bench and went away for a few seconds.
When he returned the coat had disappeared,
while the umbrella, which was an old and
mnch worn one, was untouched. Several
gentlemen tried to persuade Melvin to
notify the police, but he declined to do so,
declaring that he would have to spend more
money in getting back his coat than the
article itself t as worth.
OTEECOATS STOLEN.
The Till exes Dropped the Plunder In the
Clinrch Tard.
Sneak thieves last evening stole 18 over
coats from the store of J. Fmk& Bros, at
If o. 712 Smithfield street. The store was
open at the time, but only two or three of
the clerks were in. One of the members of
the firm heard a noise near the rear of the
tore, and going back saw a man carrying
an armful of clothing, dart out of the rear
door into the night. The police were no
tified, and on visiting the place, fonnd IS
overcoats in the yard of the Oak Alley Be
formed Presbyterian Church.
r A Gas Expiation.
Canon street, opposite the Clinton Boil
ing Mill, was badly tore up yesterday morn
ing by an explosion of natural gas In the
street main, caused by a spark from the
mill. A little girl who was passing was
alightlyJnjured.

' WEST1SGH0DSE APPEALS.
The Ulnnnfactiiro of Incandescent Lamps
Brcome rnblle Property Not Worried
by tho Adverse Decision.
George Westinghouse, Jr., President of
the Westinghouse Electric Company, in an
interview last night on Justice Bradley's
decision said:
"This decision leaves the Westinghouse
Company just where it was before, and can-not-under
any circumstances affect it ad
versely; although, of course, we would have
much preferred a different result We have
strong hopes of obtaining a favorable deci
sion from the Supreme Court, on appeal,
but whatever happens our company will
still be able to manufacture and sell incan
descent electric lamps as freely as it did
before. The worst that can happen "is that
the incandescent lamps shall be finally de
clared public property, as is already the
case with the arc lamp."
"I should be remembered that this deci
sion affects only one of our many patents.
We own several others, covering essential
details in the manufacture of incandescent
lamps, which we feel confident of sustain
ing, and which all users and makers of
lamps not licensed by us must infringe.
The strength of our patent position, even
with this decision against us, is evidenced
by the tact that, under its contract wiih us,
the Thomson-Houston Electric Company
will still have to pay us the same royalties
as before this decision. While the Edison
Company will, if the decision is affirmed by
the Supreme Court, destroy the Sawyer
Mann fibrous carbon filament patent, they
will have no patent for the same themselves.
In fact, they will have to face our patents on
the other features of the incandescent lamps.
Therefore, while this decision is against us,
it is not in favor of Mr. Edison or his pat
ents. "The business and profits of the Westing
house Electric Company will not be ad
versely affected by this decision. On the
contrary, if the impression gets abroad that
the incandescent lamp has become public
property, the demand for incandescent
lighting will be greatly increased, and our
company will come in for its share of the
increase."
Secretary A. T. Bowland, of the West
ing'bouse Company, expressed his views of
the opinion last evening. He said, inter
alia:
"The decision, unless reversed, simply
throws open the manufacture of the incan
descent lamp to the public. Edison cannot
now bring suit against the company for the
reason that he has no patents for the carbon
filaments, the United States Supreme Court
having decided that they were invalid. On
the wnole the opinion is a com
promise. Should it have been favorable to
our company we should have been in a po
sition to close Edison up. As it is we are
just in the position we occupied before. We
could not have lost anything; Edison alone
would have suffered. We intend to appeal
against the decision immediately.
Although the status of the Westinghouse
stock was the principal subject of coversa
tion in local stock circles yesterday, there
was not very much excitement at call time.
Mr. Long bid 50 for 25 shares and obtained
them. Immediately after Mr. George B.
Hill offered the stock down in a hundred
share lots to 48, at which figure SO shares
changed hands. The general impression
seemed to be that any downward tendency
which the stock might assume owing to the
adverse decision, would be quickly dis
counted by good buying orders.
DATIS ISLAND DAM AGAIN.
A Lock Gats Baa Broken This Time and It
Ii Difficult to Fix It.
The Davis Island dam has gone wrong
again, but not to the extent that the water
need be let out An axle that carries one
of the gates in the lock is broken, and a
diver in armor is at the bottom with a screw
raising the gate so as to get a new one in.
The three-inch axle heretofore in use, and
which is broken, will be taken out and re
placed by a six-inch one. It is a difficult
job, as the cement work is hard to cut out
It is important that the gate be put in
working order by the time there is water
'for ordinary navigation, so that the packet
boats can pass through. Were a big freshet
to come, so that the wickets could be let
down, the break would not be material.
That dam is a great institution in some
respects, but it is as hard to manage as a
hysterical woman.

TIRED OF LIVING.
Mln Dora Morrill Takes a Doie of Lauda
num Tnrned Into the Street by Her
Scared Mistress.
Dora Morrill, a rather handsome looking
girl, 22 years old, is at present under the
care of the matron at the Central station,
aud is a very sick girl from the effects of an
overdose of laudanum, taken with suicidal
intent Miss Morrill, according to her own
story, has Deen an inmate of Laura Bailey's
house, No. Ill First ayehue. Lately she has
been drinking considerably, and having be
come dissatisfied with the life she was lead
ing she concluded to end her life by taking
a dose of laudanum, the drug having been
in her room for some time.
Miss Morrill reports that when Miss
Bailey discovered what she had done, fear
ing the results of her dying in the house,
she turned her out into the street at 3 o'clock
in the morning. The girl wandered about un
til she found Officer Maxwell, to whom she
appealed for help, as the drug was making
her deathly sick. The officer took the girl to
the Central station, where Sergeants Gray
and Metz dosed her with coffee and mus
tard, which had the effect of making her
purge freely. Dr. Mayer meanwhile was
called and worked with the girl until 6
o clock in the morning and succeeded in
getting her to purge the greater part of the
drug. Miss Morrill states that she must have
taken five or six ounces of the laudanum.
and to this overdose is the cause of her life
being saved.
The girl comes from Colnmbiana county,
O., where her parents are well-to-do. She
is now sorry for her rash act, bnt does not
want to go home, as she is ashamed to face
her parents.
FEW KEW CITIZENS.
Naturalizing Appears to Have Been Mainly
Dono Before Jane 18.
Yesterday was the last for taxpaying and
naturalization, the last on which a vote
could be claimed on a taxpaying basis, and
there was more rush to pay tax than
to get naturalized. Mr. Fox marshaled a
crowd of nascent Democrats before Judge
Magee and had the finishing touches put on
them. The Bepublicans also had a few
polished off, but the naturalization business
has dragged in this county since the 18th of
June. Before that it was unusually brisk
and the decadence since proves conclusively
that the effort then made to get into the ark
of safety was for the purpose of keeping her
"right side up with care" lest her cargo of
booze should be spilled.
Politicians of both parties say this cam
paign so far has verged on stupidity on both
sides. The popnlar heart, it seems cannot
be fired and some think that it election day
be dry and pleasant for work the vote will
be light There is still time for warming
up. While there hasn't been much said
there may have been considerable quiet wood
sawing.
CAPIUEE OF FITE TOUGHS.
They Were In Hiding for a Month, bnt
Finally Were Kan Down.
John Buffner, John Cairnes and Pat
Cairnes, of Crab Tree, and Joseph Mc
Cormick, of Latrobe, and Elmer Johns, of

Special Agent H. Houghton, off the Penn
sylvania Bailroad, and charged before
'Squire Morris, of Greensburg, with assault
ing a conductor of the Johnstown accommo
dation on the 4th of September. They be
gan to fight on the train between Greens
burg and Crab Tree, which terminated in
an incipient riot
Warrants were sworn out for their arrest,
but when search was made for them-they
had disappeared, and had been in hiding up
to yesterday, when the detectives succeeded
in locating them. They were held for trial
at the November term of conrt at Greens
burg. Johns is a brother of the girl who
was shot by her father on September 3.
KILLED BY A CABLE CAR.

A BOY OPERATOR'S EXPERIENCE.
Erroneous Notions Created bj Dime Hovels
and the Stage.
UNEARTHING A GREAT CONSPIRACY
The letter written to Superintendent Al
len, of the Gilkinson Detective Agency, by
an ambitious young man in Plattshurg,
Mo., is bat a sample of the nnmerous in
quiries in the same line which are .constant
ly received by professional detectives. It
is, indeed, not to be wondered at that there
is a widespread notion that detectives con
stantlyresort to methods of disguise in their
work.
A Dispatch reporter had an interesting
talk with Superintendent John F. Allen on
this subject yesterday. Mr. Allen is but a
boy in appearance, yet he has been working
as a professional detective for five years. He
began when he was only 18 years old. He
is an Allegheny boy by birth, and was as
sisted to his present position by such men as
D. B. Oliver. Gamble Weir. John Gripp
and A. A. Heiner. Mr. Allen is known
among his professional associates as the
Boy Detective, both because of his youthful
appearance and his diminutive form. To
the reporter he said:
"Detectives scarcely ever use disguises.
There is really no need of them, because it
is almost always possible to put a man into
a piece of work where he is not known by
the people among whom he mnst laoor. J.
don't wonder much that yonng men who
imagine, like that Missouri man, that they
will make detectives, think that they must
wear false whiskers, goggles, plumpers in
their cheeks and all that sort of nonsense.
CHEAP NOVELS EESrON3IBLE.
"The detective stories published in the
New York fiction papers and in cheap
novel form, all represent detedtives as going
about their work nnder the most outlandish
disguises. A little reflection, it seems to
me, ought to satisfy any person that those
disguises would be instantly apparent in
real life. In plays, also, detectives wear
disguises, bnt if you sit in the farthest cor
ner of the gallery yon can discern a pair of
laUe whiskers. It would be ridiculous to
attempt such a thing in actual practice.
Novels and dramas are responsible for the
idea. There is scarcely a week that some
person does not come to ns and ask our ad
vice on the best forms of disguises."
During the years that Mr. Allen has been
in the business he has not resorted to dis
guise, although he has been engaged in some
ot the most important and difficult cases in
this city. The same experience is given by
Gilbert B. Perkins and Albert A. Heiner,
who conduct detective bureaus in this city.
They laugh at the novelists' tales of deep
disguise.
THE PAMOUS PANHANDLE CASE.
There has rarely been a more complicated
case for detective exploration in this citv
than the celebrated Panhandle train rob
beries in 1886. On the court records of this
'county it stands as "the Commonwealth
against Lavellei and others." In that case
the Pennsylvania Company engaged Mr.
Allen's services', and although the most
astute and dangerous work was required,
which in the story book would require a
room full of disguising paraphernalia, noth
ing of the kind ras resorted to. It is true,
as Mr. Allen savs, that men in his business
must resort to many subterfuges and be mas
ter? of many li(ies of work. Their experi
ences are, in actual life, often as interesting
as the romancer can devise, even without
the disguises. Mr. Allen's experiences in
that case will illustrate the true manner in
which detectives do their work.
SOME FACTS EE CALLED.
The case will be remembered bv many
people in this! community. In 1886 there
were innumerable robberies from freight
cars on the Panhandle Bailway. Goods
shipped irom the East to Western points
were transferred here from the Pennsyl
vania to the Panhandle Bailroad. When
they reached their Western destination and
thepackages were opened, it was discovered
by the consignees that part of the contents
had been removed en route, and the pack
age or barrel carefully reclosed and re
sealed. Claims for shortage were continu
ally coming to the general office, and the
mysterions robberies were finally put into
the hands of Detective Allen, then a mere
lad. He was at first given a position as a
clerk in the freight yard, near the Union
depot There he made it his business to
make the acquaintance of employes of the
freight department of the two roads. His
youthful appearance diverted all suspicion
as to his real business. After a fey months
in that work he was made what is called, in
railroad parlance, a crew caller. It was his
business to go to the sleeping rooms of the
brakemen and other employes and call them
for their trains. This was the position he
desired. It gave him access to the apart
ments of the men. He discovered in that
way stolen goods, which, in nearly every
case, tallied with the goods specified lu the
shortage claims. He did not meddle with
the goods, bnt noted the men who had them,
and these men he specially cultivated. In
every instance they were trainmen on the
Panhandle.
HIS LITTLE CIOAB GAME.
Having secured the confidence of the
men, he took another step. He opened a
cigar store at No. 67 Webster avenue. He
had a peculiar card printed. On one side
was a plain business announcement for
tobacco and cigars. The reverse repre
sented a fine-toothed comb, and in
the middle were printed these words: "This
side catches a great many; the other
side catches them all." The store was lo
cated in a section where many of the railroad
men boarded. By careful feeling, the de
tective secured the confidence of the railway
Silferers, and finally induced them to sell to
im goods which they had stolen from the
railway cars. Thns he secured the best evi
dence against them. It appeared that the
property was stolen from the cars after the
trains left Pittsbnrg for the West
When all necessary evidence was obtained
by the beardless boy who had worked the
matter so shrewdly, the case was put into
the bands of the police, and they arrested
over 200 employes of the Panhandle Rail
road. Eighty-three freight crews were im
plicated. It 'was one of the widest conspira
cies ever unearthed in this country. Lavelle
received three years in the i penitentiary.
Four or five others, shown to be the leaders
in the work, received various terms. The
great body of the defendants were let off
witn tne costs, as me raiiroaa company
simply desired to put a stop to the plunder
ing. All, of course, were discharged from
the company's service.
THE BOOK AGENT DODGE.
In other cases the detective resorts to the
scheme of representing himself as a book
agent This is frequently employed. It
was in this manner that Mr. Allen worked
up some of the best evidence against Mrs.
Hettie M. Garfield, Dr. A. T. Campbell and
Chris Martin, who were arrested last spring
for attempting to defraud the People's
uutuai Acciuent insurance vjompanv,
Decoy letters are employed not infrequent-
ly, as in luciuing xjieuieuaui ityan, the
naval officer who ran away with Minnie
Parsons, of Anderson .street, in the sprint:
of 1888.
These are only incidents of the strange
and exciting career which belongs to a de
tective, even in such a prosaic and matter-of-fact
city as Pittsbnrg. They can be, found in
the records of any one of the agencies
located in Pittsburg, and if time and space
would permit, Interesting tales could be told
from the day books of either the Perkins,
Gilkinson or Heiner agencies.

Training School.
The Pittsburg Domestic Training School,
which occupies the building next to the
East Liberty Presbyterian Church, com
menced its second year on September 16,
and now that the various departments of
work, in the domestio training of children,
young girls and women have been started it;
is necessary that the board of managers,
composed of 35 prominent ladies from the
Protestant churches in Pittsbnrg, princi
pally in the East End, should know the
financial support which will be given them
daring the coming year. To this end Mrs.
O. A. Ashburner, Chairman of the Advi
sory Committee, has sent throngh the mail
circulars, giving full information about the
cooking and housework departments of this
school. Scholarships may be obtained at $10
each, which will entitle the pnrchaser,
during one year, to place one pupil at a
time in any of the plain courses of instruc
tion. It is desired that a number of perma
nent annnal scholarships be subscribed for,
to be paid regularly each year, in order to es
tablish a permanent fund. Contributions
may be sent to Miss Lizzie B. Mackintosh,
Treasurer, Ellsworth avenue, East End, or
to any member of the Board of Directors.
HEW ELEOTEIC LIKE.

Rente to Hazolwood.
A. E. Townsend, the contractor, has a
large force of men at work on Third avenue
putting in the underground electrie wires
for the electrie line oh Second avenne to
Hazelwood. The overhead wire, with over
contact, will be used as in other electric
lines in this city, and the underground wire
is put in simply as an extra safeguard.
There will thus be two currents for use, and
it is extremely improbable that both will
fail at the same time. The contractor be
lieves that the work will be completed in 30
days. New rails will be laid on the out
ward end ot the line, where the rails manu
factured by the Johnson Steel Street Bail
Company, of Johnstown, will be employed.

"We received our goods last night and
are very mnch pleased with them. We
have not had such groceries in the house
since we used to send to Philadelphia.
Everything is so nice and good we can't
begin to get that grade of goods here, and
then we have to pay almost double what
these cost us.
"Everything came well packed, nothing
broken, and we are so mnch pleased with
all I will do all I can, to get you as mnch
custom from here as I can."
The above is an exact copy of a letter we
received from a new customer in an adjoin
ing town. It is bnt a sample of the many
we receive from time to time, and we are
very grateful to our friends for their kind
words.
Honesty and'fair dealing win every time,

But you can't fool all the people

There's a good deal of "solid horse sense"
in the homely phraseology of "Honest Old
Abe" as quoted above, peculiarly appli
cable to the clothing business in these days,
when newspapers overflow with announce
ments which must convince all readers of
the fact that there are too many "One Idea"
men in the clothing business nowadays,
who believe in Barnnm's theory that
"THE AHEBICAN PUBLIC LIKE TO BE
humbugged." t
This moss-grown theory is not pursued at
Gusky's, whose mammoth business proves
that the public has found the place where
business is done on the foundation of actual
merit and one price only. For proof of
merit and lowest prices on record, visit
Gusky's great sale of men's fine fall suits
