five hundred and fifty-four millions nine hun- dred and fifty-two thousand pounds This sum divided by a ton of two hundred and seren thousand four hundred and tons If we estimate a car load as railroad managers clo at ten tons it would load twenty-seven sand seven hundred and forty-seven cars and if suppose a car with its coupling etc will measure thirty foot in length we will have sVet and if this sum is divided by the number of feet in a will give a continuous length of loaded cars of 158 miles Estimating 30 cars to a train it will require 925 tives to haul this small run of coal and if its 40 foot long they will increase the total of cars and locomotives to 165 miles in length If so many as ten cars could be transported by rail per day it would take ninety-two davs to transport

Youthful of the Lowest of a Thief Fifteen Years PHILADELPHIA December 9 For some time past the police ties of this city liave been troubled with a series of complaints petty thefts burglaries and the like the of which have avoided all detection Houses would be robbed and no one arrested Rooms would be entered jewelry and silverware be stolen and no one ar- Indeed the thefts would occur so often and under such a strange complexity of circumstances that for a long time past the authorities have been entirely baffled Last evening however a young boy John Webster by name entered a pawnbroker's shop in the city and upon presentation of a letter purporting to hare been written by his father secured an advance of thirty dollars upon a gold watch and chain with Masonic seal attached The character of the letter was so culiar that it aroused somewhat the pawnbroker's suspicions which were confirmed when after watching the lad he saw him dividing the money with a companion Webster was ar- rested and on his person was found tion it was learned that the other party was the thief and that Webster had been simply disposing of the stolen property Still later through talk three other juveniles were arrested in the possession of whom were found many stolen goods and pawn tickets calling for various amounts No sooner had the actual condition of been made known than the Chief of the Police ordered investigations to be continued while Webster himself gives to your pondent the following remarkable tory of his A REMARKABLE STORY I am fifteen years old and ran away om home about ten weeks ago I had read Claude Duval Dick Turpin and other books of- that kind and made up my mind to be a wayman As soon as I left home I took up quarters in a thieves den in Bedford street I had read a good deal about lassoing in Mexico and I got a rope and made it into the shape of a lasso I then put up a stake in the back yard and to practice with a rope I very soon became an expert and could lasso the stake three times out of every five My idea as soon as I became perfect was to go on the road and lasso men In my thieving I was very lucky I MADE TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS A WEEK I wanted to buy a horse one that could run and jump and lay over any thing on the road I know a won't tell her other name but her first name is is just as old as I years She and I were to be married next week but I've been now and I suppose all that tle business is bursted up I have been living with a man named Fay Fourteen other fellows just like me with Fay too Fay is a rich man and owns a big place in Camden me and the other boys fifteen ents a night We all used to take what we stole to his place He'd never let us sleep with our clothes on we all turned in naked When business was dull all Fay would give us to eat was a bucketful of old crusts scraps which he would throw into an old box and leave us alone to our pickings You see I could change my ance mighty quick This shirt of mine has three white one a blue one and a red one I can change mv hat and coat and shirt front as quick as lightning If I could have raised enough to get a horse I could have gone out along the country roads that into the town could have lassoed plenty of people and got lots of swag I'm most bothered because Fannie and me can't get married next week FAY ARRESTED The reader has above the boy's story nst as he narrated it Little Webster is young bright and while ae delivered his biography in the st most nonchalant manner ble His history gave the police a new wrinkle at three o'clock this morning the Chief along with several of his best officers made a raid upon Fay's den The place was located on Water street below Vine and the of the police was entirely Unexpected The place where the slept was a dirty cellar dark noisome and abominable reeking with foul air filled with fumes of whisky tobacco and decaying garbage and overrun with every species of vermin Like Fagin of Fay was found with fourteen of his angels tnd taken to the station honse He and pleaded to be let go re- and insisting that the ice had no right to intrude but all nis prayers and remonstrances were in vain OUT The police also made another raid upon a similar den on Water street above Arch where five were found under the of a man named Kelley These were also ar- rested Buckets full of trinkets and jewelry were found along with many stolen goods a great part of which has been already identified There were found numerous cases of juvenile de- pravity so startling as to seem almost incredible Kelley and Fay had hearings before the Alderman this afternoon and both were held under very heavy bail Since the arrest of the thieves many burglaries hitherto inexplicable have been explained Young Webster from lying around old Fay's den was ered with vermin but since his arrest has been cleaned and has become quite penitent Though only fifteen years old he is quite a disciple to the tender and says that if they'll only let him go he'll lead a new life with his for a He believes in and says that fortune teller a few days ago predicted to him that he would soon get into trouble Alto getter he is one of the most prisoners and at
