ACCUSED HIGHWAYMEN
AWAIT HEARING
Arthur Ijimhley. of Newnrk, and
John Watson, of Richmond. Va., were
committed to jail yesterday at Nor-ristown
by Magistrate Lenhardt for a
further hearing on the charge of hold-ing
up Robert Moore near Jenklntown.
The men were arrested at Heaton
Station. They were both armed with
revolvers, and Watson had a kit of
burglar tools, piece of fuse and a can-dle.
The following was taken from yes-terday
morning's Philadelphia Inquir-er:
11 is not improbable that Consho-uOCken'S
station house, or "lock up."
as It is more familiarly known here,
may become a thorn In the side of the
administration of Burgess Ulrlch,
which begins to-morrow.
Although the borough of Consho-lioc
ken Is a big and prosperous one,
with thousands of taxparlng inhabi-tants,
the station house has long been
conducted on the same plan in vogue
in communities where the inhabitants
are numbered by the hundreds. The
borough police force consists, so It
was said to-day. of one man during the
■ lay and three during the night. While
the arrests made by the force do not
average more than three or four a
week. If they do that, men and women,
too. do occasionally fall into the ways
0. error here and find themselves occu-pants
of cells In the station house.
Once locked up the prisoners, no
matter of which sex, are left to their
own devices. In other words, the sta-tion
house has no turnkey, janitor or
other official whose duty It Is to re-main
in it and keep at least a half
watchful eye on the involuntary In-mates.
Thrown Into a cell at mid-night,
for instance, a prisoner stays
there without attention until taken out
for a hearing before the burgess the
next morning at 10 o'clock.
"A man or a woman might die after
being placed In there If he or she
should be taken suddenly 111," declared
Justice of the Peace Smith, "and no-body
know of It until a policeman hap-pen.-
d to come along and enter the
slat ion house,"
One of the borough constables said
thut he had gone to the lock-up with a
prisoner on one occasion and waited
nearly two hours before a policeman
came along to let him In.
The station house as well as the po-lice
force, is under the control of a
police committee composed of mem-bers
of the Borough Council selected
by the Burgess.
Burgess Jacoby was offended at the
article. He claimed that no one had
to remain in the stationhouse waiting
for a hearing. He was ready and will-ing
to give these at any time, and fre-quently
arose from his bed in the night
time to come to the stationhouse.
REPUBLICANS AGAIN IN
CONTROL
CRIMINAL COURT.
John Kelly a notorious Philadelphia
crook, pleaded guilty yesterday to the
larceny of $75 worth of clothing and
Jewelry from the residence of John A
Wilson, at Belfry, last summer. He
was sentenced to Jull for a period of
tenyears and six months.
George Harper, of Dover, Del., who
set Are to a building belonging to ex-
Senator Henry Sutton. of Haverford,
was yesterday acquitted of arson on
the ground of insanity. Harper built
a fire to keep himself warm, and fell
asleep. When he awoke the building
was ablaze.
Andrew Widger, of Norristown, was
sentenced to sixty days' imprisonment
at court yesterday for the larceny of
$500 in gold, which he found In an old
mattress. The mattress was In a ten-ement
house belonging to Mary and
In 1 in Cnhill. and it Is supposed that
the money had lieen hidden in the
mattress by their mother before her
death.
Widger. shortly after moving into
the house, began to spend money lav-ishly.
Suspicion was aroused by his
sudden acquisition of wealth, and his
wife confessed to the finding of the
money.
The court yesterday morning handed
down a decree dividing the election of
Ahlngton township lines into two
election districts, to be called the Ah-lngton
l.ow.r election district and the

Ibach had been rowing on the river

Vicinity of the dam It was impossible
for him to row away from the current,
and he was carried over, the boat be-ing

raging water for some time, and only

The following is told of an eminent
divine who presides over the destinies
of a down town church. The wrter
has an Indistinct memory of having
heard It before, but they say it Is true
of our South Philadelphia frlcn.l.
The clergyman hud attended a re-ligious

si rolled about the suburb, and happen-ng
to pass a cemetery, entered and be-gan
to read the various inscriptions
upon the tombstones. He saw a mon-ument,
one of the largest in the ceme-tery.
Three sides were inscribed with
touching tributes to the memory of the
departed, but one side bore the simple
Inscription.
"A Lawyer and an Honest Man."
The clergyman scratched his head
and was busily engaged In scrutiniz-ing
the grave when the aged sexton
came up. and recognizing the clerical
garb of the visitor and his, close scru-tiny
of the grave, asked:
"You are probably looking for some-thing,
your reverence; can I assist
you?''
"No, I guess not," was the reply.
"1 was merely wondering why they
burled them both In the one grave."

Katie Is a little five-year-old who
lives down town. One day she came

"Mamma, do you like stories?"
"Yes, dear," replied mamma, "if they
are true stories."
"Well, this is a true story. Do you
get mad and whip little girlswhanthey
tell you true stories?"
"Why, never; It isn't good manners
to get mad when a person tells you a
nice,true story."
"All right," said Katie, "Once upon
a time there was a little girl and she
got Into the pantry, and she ate a big

They have considerable fun at Cam-den's
expense, very frequently, and
there is a reason for much of it, as per
the following:
The other day a teamster, who was
driving a big delivery team, fell off the
seat of his wagon. He had been drink-ing
that day, and, in fact, many days
lefore, and his constitution had been
completely undermined by the too ar-dent
use of alcoholic stimulants.
He was taken to the hospital, where
he died. There was some question as
to the cause of death and a Coroner's
jury was empaneled. The Jurors In-vestigated
the facts In the case, and
after mature deliberation rendered the
following verdict, which is now on the
records for the enlightenment of men
who may come hereafter:
"We, the jury, find that the deceased,
Albert Schmltz, came to his death

STATE HOSPITAL TRUSTEES.
At Friday's session of the Board of
Trustees of the State Hospital for the
Insane, at Norristown. it was reported
that partial relief for the terribly over-crowded
wards may come on April 1.
the date when the two new structures
now under way are to be completed.
The report of Dr. Richardson stated
that the male department was pressed
for room, as 430 patients are compelled
to sleep In the corridors, and of that
number 109 sleep on mattresses on the
floor.
It was also stated that during the
next month 100 patients will be sent
to the Chester County Hospital.
In relation to the recently discussed
question concerning the discharge of
patients Dr. Richardson observed:—
"With the exception of three pa-tients,
two of whom were removed by
order of court, all the cases discharged
during January and February had been
absent from the hospital from three
to six months undergoing the home
test. For many years I have found
this the most satisfactory way of deal-ing
with the convalescent Insane. It
gives the friends an opportunity of
testing the mental status of patients
by daily associations with them."
Twenty males and thirty-one females
were discharged during the months,
nine males and six females died, seven
females and nine males were admitted,
leaving the population at present•!071
females and 1011 males.
