Thorn- ton, the well-known variety actor and song writer, was shot and instantly killed by Policeman William J. Allingham in New York at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning, while resisting arrest. John Thornton, an- other brother, was arrested at the same time, charged with assault and robbery by Charles Melander, a cabinet maker, of 151 West 25th street. Agnes Thornton, wife of the man who was killed, was also arrested, charged with intoxication and disorderly conduct. Melander said he was going home about 2 o'clock yesterday morning, and when in front of 242 West 25th street he was as- saulted. One of the men struck him in the head and face and knocked him down, while the other proceeded to go through his pock- ets. He shouted for help so loudly that the two men became scared and ran away. Policeman Allingham said when John was arraigned before Magistrate Kudlich in Jefferson Market police court yesterday morning: “I was standing on West 25th street, near Sth avenue, when I heard cries for help. 1 ran up the street in the direction from which the cries came and met two men run- ning away. I ran between them, and, tuck- ing my club under my arm, grabbed each of the fellows and led them back to Melander. As I did so some one across the street shout- ed: ‘They're the men. They just robbed a man.’ When I reached Melander I found his nose bleeding and his face swollen. He identified John Thornton as the one who had struck him and Thomas as the one who had attempted to rob him. “I then told the Thorntons they would have to go to the station. They had gone with me thus far quietly enough, but when 1 started for the station they showed fight. John, who was on my left, said: “Tom, do him.’ Tom broke away from me and grab- bed my night stick. I stepped back, still holding John, and, drawing my revolver, ordered Tom to return the club. He refused and came toward me, with the club raised. Fearing he would strike me, I shot at him, intending to hit him in the leg, but, as he was so close to me, the bullet went through his body and he fell cn his face dead. The body was taken to the West 20th street sta- tion, and Policeman MclIsaacs, who had come to my assistance, took John Thornton to the station.” It wiil be remembered that Tom Thorn- ton was arrested here some months ago and sent to the work house for assaulting his brother's wife, Bonnte Thornton. Arrested Voices. Anthony Comstock and his agent, George Oram, have arrested in New York Russell Hunting, an actor, and Charles M. Carson for producing on phonographic cylinders vile Songs It took them a long while to trace the voices and identify the men. ‘The Sunday school of the Twelfth Street M. E. Church, 12th and E streets southeast, observed Children’s day yesterday by ap- propriate exercises. The church was dec- orated handsomely and the different fea- tures were interesting. Miss Emma Allen delivered the introductory address and Misses Edna and Nannie Robb, Lena Dis- ney, May Oxley, Annie Stoy, Cora Betts and Messrs. William Ryan, David Hardesty and Alfred Roderick took part in the pro- gram which followed. Excellent music was rendered by the church choir, and Rev. W. G. Casserd, the pastor of the church, de- livered an addres: ‘Phe regular Gospel meeting of the Y. M. C. A. for men was held at the Foundry M. E. Church yesterday afternoon, the speaker being Staff Captain Blanche Cox of the Salvation Army. Mr. H. C. Metcalf, assist- ant secretary of the association, conducted the meeting’ in the.absence of General Sec: retary Multer, who was away in Pennsyl- vania, and Capt. Hills of the Salvation Army gave a solo during the regular open- ing exercises. ‘The meetings of the Theosophists will be held at the rooms of the Wimodaughsis during the summer season, and, in accord- ance with this program, Mr. R. lL.

E. Church by Rev. Dr. Hugh Johnston was given last evening, the leo- ture dealing with the sermon on the mount, tcgether with the Lord’s Prayer. Beautiful Scenes were used to represent the different lessons to be drawn from the talk, while rot the least interesting features were the portraits of the apostles. ‘The Rev. Richard Lewis Howell, rector of St. Margaret's Protestant Episcopal Church, has left for his summer home in the Adirondacks, and will not return until the early part of October.

The “ship of faith,” a large boat with {ts sails all flying, was brought on the platform by the saflor boys, and with the girls rendered their parts in such a manner as to receive praise from all parts of the large congregation. The col- lection was the largest ever taken in this school. ee A Few Words About Pins. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The pin referred to by your corres- pendent fa Saturday’s Star is simply the old-style pin that was In common use down to about 1835, and even later. I remember well when a youth residing in central New York, how in trying to push the pins with the coiled wire heads through thick or starched cloth the head would not infre- quently slip down on the pin, causing the thumb to be punctured by the blunt end. In the time of Henry VIII, A. D. 1543, an ct was passed in England providing that: ‘No person shall put to sale any pinnes, but only such as shall be double headed, and have the heads soldered fast to the shank of the pinne, well smoothed, the shank well shaven, the point well and rounded filed, canted and sharpened.” A previous act of 1483, about the first time brass pins were mentioned, prohibited their introduction into England, these acts evidently being for the protection of En- glish manufacturers, the policy of England at that time and for many years thereafter being to protect, encourage and build up her domestic manufactures, a policy which she now 80 strongly condemns in other nations, since she has hers so established that with their cheap labor they can pro- duce cheaper than her competitors can. A patent was granted to W. F. Hill of New York for making pins and needles in 1814; and another for a pin machine to M. LL. Morse of Boston the same year, and to J. L. Howe of Connecticut in 1S,’ besides others at different times. ‘The solid-headed pin, or the machine for making it, was invented by Wright in 1824. In this machine the wire was drawn from a reel by a pair of pincers, a hinged jaw cuts it off, a carrier seizes it and carries it to the pointing apparatus, where it is held by a rotary carrier that holds it on a file wheel, which partially points it. It is then other -polder to a finer file wheel, which finishes the point. Another carrier then transfers the pin to the head- ing die, which upsets and completes the head at two separate operations, after which it is released ;and. drops into a re- otintvs bse’ leaned by roll! ey are sul uel cl y rolling them with sawdust tare revolving barrel or tumbler, and subsequently treated with dilute acid and coated with a film of tin, and again rolled asi given their final polish, After all this they! have to be stuck on the papers, and to that they must all be arranged with théfr points in one direc- tion; but this, like the manufacture of the pin, is all done by- ingenious machinery, which does it with.a speed and accuracy that almost leads the onlooker to believe that it thinks and atts like a human being. When one goes back to the beginning, thinks of the mining of the ore, the extrac: tion of the metal, the forming of it into wire, and then adds’ all these various op- erations necessary to produce the pin and put it into the condition in which it is pre- sented to the purchaser, one naturally in- quires how 1s it possible to sell them so cheap, especially as there must be added the profit of the manufacturer, the whole- sale dealer and the retailer. It is as great @ mystery almost as tne query so often propounded, “What becomes of all the pins?” Their cheapness is simply due to inven- tion, and organized labor, as Is that of all other manufactured articles; and people of the present day have but little dea of how much they enjoy in that respect, as com- bared with the condition of their predeces- sors, to go no further back than a single century. I can remember when a paper of pins cost from 25 to 40 cent: ; and I can also re- member when it was not an uncommon thing for poor people to gather thorns from the bushes and use them as pins—as is done still among uncivilized peoples. Pins appear to be one of the oldest a1 ticles used for the convenience of man- kind. The Egyptians used them made of bronze, as did also the Romans. The an- cient Mexicans used pins, though generally using thorns, , rhe ancients had bronze pins several inches in length with ornamental heads, Not infrequently of gold and silver, ¢ very similar to the hat pins of the present day, samples of which can be seen in the mu- seums, In fact, insignificant as the pin is, a volume could be written on the subject, and besides, what would we do without them? The safety pin and the shawl pin in their various forms is purely a Yankee inven- tion, W. C.D. ——_—.____ AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTA'TE, &c Todny.
