The latest case Is that In which the house at No. 144 Hanover street, occupied by Dr. Totten, a dentist. was entered by means of a skeleton key. No one was at home at tho time und the burglar had Just unlocked the door when he was disturbed by the next door neighbors, Mrs. Dllley and family, coming home. He rushed from the back porch, ran to the rear of the lot, jumped over a fence into the yard of No. 146 Hanover street and then leaped over the back fence and was out of sight before an outcry could be made.

On the supposition that the child was drowned, the river In the vicinity of the Haynes home was dragged, but without results. Parties have searched the surrounding country with .similar results, and now the parents of the child are confident that she was kidnapped. If this is true, it is wondered why kidnappers should secure the child of poor parents. Subscriptions are now being taken to increase the amount of the reward. Injured. FREE FOE-ALL FIGHT.

A brisk wind was bUiwing from the north, spreading the names with remarkable speed through the entire structure. The building wan soon a mass of flames which communicated to the Centrl.1 ferryhouse, lolated along the river front from Twenty-first to Twenty-second street. The I spread of the flames was aided by the I lardy arrival of the Are fighters. The ferryboat Hamburg, on which there were 500 passengers, was in the Lackawanna slip when the fire broke out, but the pilot quickly pulled out into the stream away from danger. ells of workmen of 8t.

Coroner Dodson conducted two inquests yesterday afternoon In the office of Attorney Casterline, Wilkesbarre, to Inquire Into the deaths of the two men who were murdered In this vicinity last Saturday night In one of the cases, that of Martin Alacks, a verdict was reached, but In the second case, the inquiry into the death of John Schlalkus, It was deemed the wiser course to hold a further hearing next Friday afternoon, when persons directly connected with the tragedy will be giverf a chance to testify. The first inquest started at 3 o'clock, with Dr. Dodson presiding and the Philadelphia, Dec. 20.—With a cheery smile Charles C. Wright, assistant manager of the Colonial Life Insurance Co., in this city, chatted with a bartender in a saloon In Market, near Nineteenth street, yesterday. A few minutes later he lay dead in the rear yard of the building a victim of cyanide of potassium taken with suicidal intent. Mr. Payne, the author of the bill, secured the passage „f an amendment that the new rates shall not affect goods now in bond In the United States. This provision was made to prevent the new rules being applied to 40,(XX) tons of sugar now In bond in New York, which would save importers $800,000. The two ferry houses occupied a space about COO feet long and 150 feet wide. The buildings were about 50 feet high, having two stories. At 11:30 o'clock the whole thing was ablaze, and great flames and volumes of smoke were belching high in the air. I The Erie and Pennsylvania ferry houses are located Just north of the burning buildings, but the wind was away from them and the firemen thought they were In no danger. Accident Occurred on Viaduot. ( Rumor that Two Street Car The collision occurred ou a part of the structure on which both (be Central and New Haven trains run, about fifty feet high. The trains in the crash were the Poughkeepsie express, going north, and a New Haven local, also going north.

With his wife and four little children Wright, an expert in Insurance affairs made his home with friends at 1230 North Twenty-seventh street. He was prospering after a successful business year, and was about to be promoted to a responsible office with the Colonial Life Insurance Co. Wright gave no intimation either to his family or brother officials of the ' Colonial concern, at Tenth and Columbia avenue, that he contemplated suicide. Blame Placed on Government, following jury sitting: W. Si. Casterline, In taking the switch the train went off the track and hit the other with terrific force. Both were going at almost full speed, and several cars In both trains were demolished. A persistent rumor is in circulation In Wllkesbarre to the effect that the Wllkesbirre & Wyoming Valley Traction Co. is about to pass Into the hands of new owners, and It Is further reported that the Scrantou Traction Co. will also pass out of the hands of the present company and will be bought by the same company that Is said to be negotiating for the Wllkesbarre line. The company that is supposed to be negotiating for the control of both lines Is the American Traction Co., a corporation that controls street railways in 57 Htles In various parts of the couiurv, The rumor is given* strength by reason of the fact that William Harrlty, one of the vice presidents of the American Traction Co., is spending some days In Scranton and Wllkesbarre. Si far Mr. Harrlty has escaped Interviewers, but an Intimate friend of his states that his Intention In staying In this section Is to secure control of the two lines mentioned. The newspaper Molva declares that the responsibility for a general strike will rest upon the shoulders of the government. It charges that it is the purpose of Count Wltte to "pacify" the country In the old bureaucratic way.

Considerable testimony was given in this case, but nothing that would point to the identity of the men who caused the death of Alacks. The officers who found the body testified as to the appearance of the dead man, etc. They said that a crew on a Laurel Line car had witnessed the fight taking place near the forks of the road and directed the agent at the next station to call up the city station house. Dr. McOinty, who performed the autopsy, was sworn. He testified that the bullet entering the body had torn away a part of the heart. The Jury r! adered a verdict that "Martin Alacks came to his death by being murdered Dec. 17 by some person or persons unknown to the Jury." Ten ambulances were hurried to the scene, and police reserves from a dozen stations went there on the run. Several hook and ladder companies were also summoned. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western officials estimate their loss at $300,000 and the loss to the Central Railroad of New Jersey will be nearly las much more. The engineer of the Central train, John D. Horn, was arrested by orde/ of Coroner Scholer. Dwyer, a towerman, on duty at One Hundred and Sixth street, sought to place the blame on Horn and said Jeremiah Murphy, engineer of ttie New Haven train, was free of responsibility for the accident.

He grew pale and Jell forward. He wag carried twitching and writhing into the rear yard, while a call was sent In for the patrol wagon, and the man hurried to the Medlco- Chirurglcal hospital. There the physicians pronounced him dead. An autopsy was ordered by the coroner's office. It was performed by the hospital physicians, who later announced that death was due to cyanide of potassium poisoning. 8team Fills Wrecked Cars.

Washington, Dec. 20.—Secretary Bonaparte has been informed by Attorney General Moody that he has no power to dismiss Midshipmen Cotiln and Vandevecr, charged with hazing and complicity in hazing Midshipman Kimbrotigh. It Is now the duty of Admiral Sands, superintendent of the academy, to order Coflln and Vandeveer before a court martial under the terms of an act of 1874, and If tbey are convicted of hazing they must be dismissed from the academy. The cause of the fire has not been ascertained. Chief Croker thinks it was due to a spark left in the clothes room by plumbers, who were working on the roof of the women's wing of the prison yesterday. That scores were not parboiled was due to the promptness of a fireman, Uadderman Corballe of truck No. 20. who a few minutes after the collision ran from platform to platform with an ax and cut the couplings of the steam pipes. That most of the passengers in the New llaven train were not dashed to pieces in Fourth avenue at the foot of the wall was regarded as marvelous. The cars In which the greater uumber rode were hurled against the three foot coping of granite masonry with terrific force. One of the cars, torn from Its trunks, almost hurdled the wall.
