SLEUTHS IN ROBBERS' ROLE
Dettctire Arreit Two Criminals with
Abruptness of a, Holdup.
VENERABLE TRAVELER HAS SEVERE SHOCK
Offlcrra Seise Upon Thlevea Whoer
Unlit la nctrnyed by Their
rosseaalou of llcnp of
Yellorr Coin.
Somewhere In one of the old-fashioned
New England states presumably Massachu-etta--thero
la a gentle, white-haired old
woman, who, these winter evenings, Is
telling her grandchildren a thrilling ntory
about her adventures while traveling
through tho wilu and woolly west. Tito
story li a serial In many chapters, but tho
most fauclnatlng of all Its Installments re
lates to the time she pasted through Omaha
In the summer of 1831. It Is a tale of traln
robbcrs four of them great burly, broad
shouldered fellows, who drew pistols,
pointed them at the passengers right In
broad daylight, and made them produce
their money. One of these bandits, who
aeemed to bo tho ringleader, thrust hit
revolver Into the fnco of the conductor
and made him stop the train.
The gcntlo old woman, no doubt, dwells
at length und with no little dramatic effect
upon the details of this holdup, and the
grandchildren regard her as a very re
markable parsonago, Indeed, to have beheld
a real live tralnrobbcr while plying hi
vocation.
Tho white-haired raconteur thinks she In
telllns tho truth; but bus Isn't. It would
be quite difficult, probably, to convince her
that tho persons Hhe mistook for robbors
that Jay were In reality peace officers In
tho employ of tho city. Hut such Is the
case. Tholr names are J. J. Donahue, now
chief of police; II. 1. Haze, II. W. Dunn
and Don Davis.
Aftor all, tho mistake of tho sweot-fneed
passenger In easily explained. The officers
were not In uniform, but, being detectives,
were In citizens' clothes, so It was pel
fectly natural tlmt she should Jump at a
wrong conclusion, especially since they
flashed revolvers and felt through tho pock
ets of tho two men. The fact that they aft
erwards clapped handcuffc upon the wrists
of tho twain and marched them away she
may not have obsorved.
"I havo laughed a hundred times since as
I thought of that old woman," eald Court
Officer Dnn Davis tho other day. "She was
peering at ua from between tho fingers of
hor hurds, which wcro spread over her
fnco, and her voice trembled as oho gasped:
-My! I've heurd o'f tho wild and woollj
west,, but I never thought the robbors wcro
so hold they'd hold up a tralnload of people
In broad daylight, and right in the city,
too!"
Incident Occurred Mix Yearn Ann.
This Incident occurred six years ago at tho
Durllngton station In Ilollovuo and was tho
sequel of a robbery the night beforo In
South Omaha. Two robbers In tho dead of
night entered the resldenco of Tat Uroana-
hart, a suloon keeper, and began tholr
quest for plunder. A sister of Mr. Hresna
hart, who slpt downstairs, being nwakened
by their noise, found herself gazing Into tho
muzzles of a braco of pistols and heard a
Bruff voice ordering her to get up and point
tho way to, her brother's room. Sho had no
cholco but to comply. As tho robbers kept
ner covorcd with their weapons and threat
cned to shoot If she mado nn outcry, sho
obeyed their commands and marched beforo
thorn to tho sleeping apartment upstairs.
Urosuahart sprang to his feet at their an
proacb, but ho was unarmed and they had
tho drop on him. However, ho showed
fight and was knocked down for his pains.
Then, as the head of tho house lay uncon
scious on tho floor, the bandits pearched tho
bureau drawers and secured $250 In .gold.
Tho money was all In $5 gold pieces save
ono coin a $10 gold piece, and this, Mr,
Ilrcsnahart remembered, was remarkable
bocause of Its color. The gold of which It
was mado was of n lighter shado of yellow
than Is commonly used by tho United Statos
mints.
Tho burglary was reported to the pollco
and tho four detectives named wero as
Blgncd to run the bandits to earth. Tboro
was little enough to work upon. As tho
luniauusiD unu nuiu uiHno, u i i luilua
could not describe them. No personal prop
erty had been stolen which might be
pawned or sold and thereby afford a clue.
To thj lay mind the case would have ap
peared a closed book but not so to the four
sleuths. They had this fact upon which to
build their theories: Two suspicious char
acters had been making their headquarters
at a house near Dellev'je.
Detectives Spot Their Men.
Tho morning following tho burglary the
four dotcctlves sauntered down toward the
Durllngton depot In compliance with a
purely routlno rule, which enjoins "keep
ing cases" at such times upon arrivals
and departures. As they approached thoy
saw the owner of the houso at which the
strangers were staying standing upon tho
platform. This was tho flrst tip; It ca'used
them to prick up their cars. Next, Just
as the passenger train from the vscst rolled
In, they caught sight of two men skulking
behind a frolght car. One of these was
roccgnized as a notorious thug named
Howard. Tho other was a stranger. The
dttcctlves watched the pair n moment and
finally saw them mako a dash to board the
train.
Then occurred the Incident which the old
wctran mistook for a train robbery. De
tectives Davis and Dunn seized Howard
and Donahuo and Haze gavo their atten
tion to tho other bandit, who afterward
proved to be a novice In crime named Joo
Trank. Uoth resisted, but were quickly
ccwed by reason of superior numbers and
armament.
Not until tho twain was searched nt the
pollco station did tho sleuths know they
had captured tho Ilrcsnahart burglars, but
tho fact Unit tho latter had $240 In $5 gold
pieces In their pockets and the light
colored $10 gold plnci) established their
Identity beyond a rcasonablo doubt. How
ever, tho caso against thom never came
to trial. Ilrcsnahart said they didn't look
llko tho men who paid him that midnight
visit.

Keystono hall nt Heading, Pa., was filled
to overflowing tho other evening to witness
a number of women pay a lot of freak elec

ever scon In Reading.
Mrs. Carrie KIrschmann, democrat, was
required to glvo tho entlro hall a good

publican, "bossed tho Job" and saw that It
was dona right. This consumed considerable
time. Mrs. KIrschmann wielded tho broom

Mrs. Mario Wcldner, republican, hauled
Mrs. Lllllo Hendrlck, nlso republican, on a
toy express wagon and both enjoyed their

Suspicious Arcs are of dally occurrence
In all tho creat cities. Wherever there Is
a blaze, tho origin of which Is not ap
parent, n cry of incendiarism is ai once
raised. Yet Investigation shows that less
than 1 per cent of such Arcs aro tho result
of a deliberate attompt to destroy prop
erty. There ore forty known causes of
fires which must bo considered In advance
of a theory that tho conflagration was the
work of that lnllammatory human bacillus,
tho firebug.
Thcro are, however, In overy city pro
fessional Incendiaries; men who for pay
will fire buildings by the most lngenlus
methods. Of course, tho object of tho ar
son Is tho collection of tho lnsuranco by
tho owner of tho property. Ono of the
fnvcrlto schemes of tho fnccndlary calls
for a chair, an oil stovo and a long cord.
Tho stove la placed upon tho chair and
tho wick lighted. To tho back of tho chair
Is tied a strong cord. The cord Is passed
out through a window. Tho firebug pulls
tho cord at the desired moment, upsets tho
chair and tho burning oil from tho dis
located stovo stnrts the conflagration. An
other scheme requires ouly an electric
light bulb nnd n box of cloth clippings
Tho current of electricity Is turned on
and tho lighted bulb Is packed In tho clip
pings. Experiments havo shown that t
requires fourteen minutes to melt tho
glass bulb and sot nflro the materials sur
rounding It.
Tho firebug, however, accomplishes com
paratively llttlo compared to his friends,
tho lorry builder, tho careless carpenter,
tho lncotnpotont olcctrlclau, aud tho
plumber and tho pointer, who are too free
with their spirit lamps. In nn Investigation
of G63 suspicious Arcs mado In 1893, by I'eter
Seorey, tho flro marshal of Qrcater row
York, thero were only two fires which were
absolutely proven to have been of Incendiary
origin. In several other cases persons wcro
arrested on tho chargo of arson, but Juries
failed to convict them. The Investigation
of these fires resulted In tho arrest of
twelve persons, tho majority of whom wcro
discharged by magistrates for tho Inck of
conclusive ovldenco. In most of tho coses
there seemed to bo a moral certainty of
tho guilt of tho accused persons. Thero
wero In tho city of Now York in that year
4,230 fires from all causes.
Thoso whofo duty It Is to investigate
tiros of suspicious origin aro confronted
with many difficulties. Not the least of
thoso lu tho manner In which citizens, r.p
parcntly for no good reason, dellboratoly
mislead tho luvestlgators. A deputy flro
marshal once spent nearly a day In tho
Investigation of a flro which ho beltovcd to
have been tho work of Incendiary. Ho
would probably havo still been In the dark
with regard to It had ho not overheard a
conversation as ho was leaving tho tcno
mcnt where tho fire had occurred. A woman
was Blngelng a chicken In tho kitchen of
ono of the apartments. A blazo from tho
burning paper had Ignited a towel which
was drying over the stovo and the flro
spread rapidly throughout tho room. Think
Ing that sho would be censured for care
lessness she had, evaded tho questions of
tho officials and put them to a great deal
of trouble, besides bringing Innocent per
tons under suspicion.

In nn lll-ventllated room often generates
enough heat to set Itself on fire. In one
of tbe principal cities of tho United States
tho laboratory of n perfumer was nearly
wrecked by a terrlDc explosion. Tho maker
of scents believed that a discharged em-
ployo had set lire to tho building, but he
hadn't. The Ore was dun to tho slow
evaporation of n high spirit In a room In
which a small laboratory gas stovo bad
been left burning.
Thero passed through tho streets of Bos-
ton a fow years ago a load of hay which
suddenly became enveloped In flame. Tho
drhcr of tho hay wagon was about to as
sault a guileless youth who was smoking
a ctgaretto nearby. The trouble, however,
had nothing to do with the clgareto smoker,
but was caused by the tiro of a wheel rub
bing against an Iron rod on the side of tho
wagon. A bystander had seen tho spark
caused by tho contact between the pieces
of metal fly Into tho Inflammable hay. In
all manufacturing establishments a fre
quent causo of fires Is tho rubbing of leather
belting against tho edges of the apcrturo
through which It passes from Door to floor.
Ic a fancy goods houso a large Iron vault
was blown open by somo torco generated
within and thcro Issued a sheet of flame.
Ncbody had been In tho vault for at least
twelve hours. Tho steel box was tilled
with paper dolls, between each pair of
which thcro was a film of celluloid. A
three-Inch stenmplpo was placed against
tho rear of tho vault and tho heat It gave
out had raised the temperature of tho Iron
box to such a degree that tho celluloid
Alms had taken fire. Ouncotton Is ono of
the component parts of celluloid and tho
explosion vas tho natural result of a com
bination of guncotton and high temperature.
Ono of tho most Btubborn fires which over
visited Chicago had Us origin lu a plate
glass window. The vitreous pane concen
trated tho heat of tho August sun upon a
celluloid comb. Tho comb blazed nnd sput
tered und soon the other samples of cellu
loid which wcro around It wcro on Are. The
flames communicated rapidly to tho re
mainder of a stock of Inflammable merchandise.
Mice nnd Mnlclica.
Tho overweening fondness of mire aud
rnts for sulphur has been the cause of many
fires. A deputy 11 ro marshal told the
writer recently that ho had In several
cases seen nests of matches which tho
rats and mice had made between the floors
of buildings. It Is no unusual thing when
structures aro being torn down to find that
the rodents havo lined their abodes with
tho lirlmstono-annolntcd sticks. Tho mice
and rats will steal an old-fashioned sulphur
match whenever they get an opportunity
nnd take It away to chow at their leisure.
Tho gnawing process results In tho Ignition
of tho matches and thore follows a mys
terious and suspicious flro. Tho rodents
regard paraflne ns a choice delicacy. If
tho insulation i.' an electric wire contains
this waxy product of petroleum the rats
will eat It. Tho bared wlro thus become
a ready means of starting a blaze.
In many cases tho steamflttcr Is respons
ible for dcstructlvo Arcs. If a steam plpo
Is too closo to woodwork, a slow process
of carbonizing takes place. A lltto extra
hent or draft of ulr may fan a flamo from
tho carbonized wood. Anothor causo of
conflagrations Is tho carelessness of car
penters. From time Immemorial It has be-sn
a habit of tho trade to sweep shavings
In between tho Joists of floors, in theso
days of electric wiring tho supposedly In
sulatcd wires pass beneath the floors. It
elthor the wlro or tho shavings wero
properly Insulated, thero would bo no trou
ble. Dut In one way or another tho wlro la
exposed nnd communicates a spark to tlie
shavings which may be lying near It. Tho
spark may smoulder for tlays and thon In
tho dead of night thero comes a cry of
"Fire!"
Tho houses of tho wealthy, even In Uieso
days of fireproof construction, nre often
"more of flretraps than tho meanest tone
incuts. Tho flues In tho abodes of wealth
and luxury aro often defective. In many
cases only tho width of a brick Intervenes
hfitivopu lntensa heat and hlehlv varnished
and Inflammable cabinet work. Illch hang
ings nnd upholstered furniture glvo the
food upon which a conflagration feeds. Do
fectivo ulectrlo wiring has many sins to
answer for In these dnys. Klectrlclans who
aro supposed to bo competent will cross
wires nnd violate nearly overy principal
of common senso and of electrical sclcnco,
Somo of them lead Btrands of wlro through
wooden boxes which In tho event of Are, be
come roaring flues. Some of tho most de
structlvn fires known In tho largo cities
have been duo to carelessness in placing
tho wires for electric lighting.

One of the greatest dangers that Are
men have to face Is the sudden explosive
burst of Aaroe In a burning building where
no known explosives are present. The
theory has been advanced by experts In flro
lighting that these explosions nre caused
by a gns generated In a closed building
by a high degree of heat. Tho exact na
turo of this gas they do not attempt to
define., but they say that It Is n high ex
plosive and extremely Inflammable. In tho
open air. This theory was borne out In a
remarkable way by a flro In Syracuse sev
eral years ago. On two sides of a law
storehouse building there was Are. The
burning bulldiugs were both separated from
tho storehouse by the width of tho street
Streams of wator from hose wcro playing
upon It in the hopo of saving It. Tho
building was Ailed with cloth and other
nonexploslvo materials. Without prelim
lnary flickering or other warning the cn-
tlra building suddenly burst Into flames
Tho windows were violently blown out nnd
flro darted forth from them and at tli
same time great columns of flamo spurted
up from tho roof. It was evident that the
air Inside ths tightly closed building had
become suddenly Ignited on all sides. That
It had an explosive quality was equally np
parent. This same gas, It Is claimed, Is
responsible for tho vlvld and benutlful
"flro tallocns" that enll up Into the al
above large Ares.
Thore Is a mystorlous property In dust
which under certain conditions produces
vlolont explosions. Thero have been In
stances In postofllccs where, the dust from
tho mall bags suspended In tho air of a
closo room has exploded with terrific
force. Dust explosions are of frequent oc
currenco In flour and drug mills. The pre
else conditions under which such accidents
occur have never bcon determined. It Is
the theory of thoso who have made mystcr
lous fires a lifelong study that tho explo
slons always occur In rooms where llttlo
air Is admitted and whore tho temperature
Is hist).
Overworked Excuee.
Spontaneous combustion covers a multl
tude of tho sins of carelessness. Th
origin of many Arcs In tailor shops may
bo traced to tho so-called dry-cleaning o
clothes. A rag dipped In naphtha Is fre
quently used In removing grease spot
frcm garments. Tho rag soaked with In
flammable fluid is thrown upon tho floor
When tho shop Is cloned up and tho air
Is confined tho naphtha-soaked material will
of Itself gonerate Aro. Hales of cotton
placed in tho hold of a ship, are often
tho cause of disastrous Arcs. Frequently
a spark from a cigar finds a resting pine
In a cotton bale, where It smoulders for
weeks.
Ono of tho most prolific causes of tene
ment house Ares is the dark -hall. Tho
law provides that hallways shall be lighted
until 10 o'clock at night. Frequently per

of fires. It Is tbe custom of tho housewife
to hang wot garments In the kitchen when
the weather conditions will not admit of

Frequent recommendations have been
mado by the chiefs of city flro departments
that tho swinging gas bracket be abolished
by law. Whenever the authorities of the
flro department get a chance, they order
such brackets to bo moved or made sta
tionary. Hundreds of fires havo been
caused by tho carelcsLhess of persons who
left tlu so swinging brackets in such a
position that tho flamo could come In con
tact with laco curtains. With a special
reference apparently to causing as many
fires as possible, tho gasfltter always puts
n swinging bracket where he knows the
housekeeper will wish to bang a lace cur
tain. Tho combination of curtain and
bracket Is often fatal. One of the moat
active, causes of fires Is the mantel dec
oration. In many homes a silken scarf Is
hung from tho mantel Itself. Whenever
thero Is a flro In tbe grate there Is danger
of the flimsy scarf taking fire. In tene

In many cases this decoration has caught

in a dinkey, crowded little elevator that doesn't
run nights or Sundays, and is run by a fresh
elevator boy who jars your breakfast every time
you ride? If so your office is not in
..The Bee Building..
But it ought to be. There is no janitor service
like theirs. You have electric light, steam heat
and perfect elevator service. There are no un
desirable offices in the building. We'll take
pleasure in showing you them.

erate heat sufficient to start a lively blaze.
One of the Atlantic freighters came to
this port recently with a cargo composed
of crude chemicals and cotton. There bad
been an explosion of acids before the Are,
It seamed Impossible to check tho flames,
which had communicated to the cotton.
The Ore, however, generated heat sufficient
to liberate the chloride from a quanlty of
bleaching powder. The chloride materially
aided In keeping the Dre in check, although
Its suffocating fumes nearly caused the
death of some of tbe sailors who went Into
the hold to fight the flames. In the stor
age of all kinds of material! too much care
cannot be exercised. The fact must be
taken into consideration that whero air
does not circulate tho chances of Ore are
greatly Increased. Tho observance of the
simple rulea laid down by Are departments
would frequently obviate tbe necessity of
Investigating the origin of mysterious fires.
