~dar except El]filll)'(; THIEVES CAUGHT Detectives Spoil the Sport of Fishermen at Out-Off Lake, WANTED FOR BURGLARY IN PENNSYLVANIA Had the Plander Stored in the Old Arling- ton Rond House—Patrick Manning Con- fensen to noa Bad aving I Man in His Time. Willlam Brown and Stuart Appelgate of Baston, Pa., were arrested yesterday for burglary and grand larceny. On April 26 the tailor shop of Warren W. Show, in Easton, was entered by burglars and elght sults of clothes,. valued at $300, taken, and also a box, in which some cloth had previously been packed. This led to a suspicion that whoever took the goods meant to ship them away, and this theory proved to be the correct one. However, the robbers were clever enough not to ship the goods from Easton, but sent them from the little town of Alles o The authorities of Easton went to the vari- ous express offices in the city, but could find ow no trace of the property, and finally con- cluded to go to Allentown. At the office of the United States Expi company they learned that a box had be signed to George Brown, at Omah, This gave the officers a clew and they once wired to the police authorities in this city. The telegram read: “Arrest for grand Jarceny and bure] William Brown' and Stuart Appelgate,” and was signed by J Johnson, town detective, The telegram w received by the Omaha authorities yesterday morting at 9 o'clock and at & in the afte noon Brown and Appelgate were in jail The telegram also stated the fact that the goods had becn consigned to the United States Express company. Detectives Haze, Hudson, Hayes and Vaughn were detailed to look the matter up. A visit to the express office disclosed the fact that a box had been received there consigned to one George Brown; that it came on May 1. The counter buok showed the box had been turned over to the party to whom it was addressed on May 2 and that it had been taken by on A. D. T. wagon At the American Distrist Telegraph office a slight clew was obtained as to Brown's residence. While the exact number could not be learned, the officers were told it was somewhere near the Sherman avenue bridge. They finally got the exact location from a groceryman. The house s 3721 Sherman avenue, and here Detective Haze went to make inquiry. He found that such a man as Brown resided there, but his name was Frank and not George, as the address on the box indicated. He further learned that Frank Brown had a brother who but recently came from the east, and another young fellow whose first name was Stuart, Hazo said he thought that Willlam Brown, the brother of Frank, was the one he desired to see. He was told then that neither he nor the young man whom they knew by the name of Stuart were at home. It began to look doubtful, but as Haze was certain he had found the right parties he told Hayes and Vaughn to remain at the house and catch them if they returned, and he and Hudson would search for them elsewhere. A little Birl was seen going to the house and Haze approached her and she told him that Wil- liam Brown and Stuart had gone fishing up to Cut-Off lake. Haze and Hudson started there and after a weary search for some one with a fishing rod, they finally located two men sitting on the bridge diving board. The detectives approached and asked in a lelsurely manner if they were catching many fish, The men looked up and said they had done better in their day, but as they had Just come out maybe they could tell more about it later. During this conversation the officers had a good chance to size the men up and after a few moments they were told they were under arrest. They did not seem to be very much surprised; they did not even drop their fish line and seemed to tako the matter as a joke. They were shortly convinced to the contrary, and then Brown said to the officers: “Gentlemen, 1 know what you want,but we are on lowa soil and you cannot arrest either of us.” Haze, for @ moment, was slightly taken back, but said: *0f course I cannot take you if you will not go, bt under arrest you are and I will take you to Council Bluffs. Now you may take your cholce; if you see anything to be gained by compelling me to walk you over to fhe Bluffs in the hot sun or to take you to Ne- braska, all well and good, but I will' take you somewhere.” Brown decided at once to Eo to Nebragka and he was taken back to the house where Vaughn and Hayes were stationed to watch for them. The search warrants were produced and six suits of clothes found. The men were then taken to the police station, The men confessed to the burglary and complimented the police on their capture, saying that they had no niore idea they were likely to be arrested tzan that they were going to have wings. They also told the police where they sold the other suits. Brown is a very handsome fellow, bright, refined and has the appearance of being a gentleman, His relatives, who live in Eas- ton, are very respectable. He says this is not the first robbery he has committed, but it is the first time he was ever arrested. Applegate has the appearance of one who was -led into the business and it is not thought he is a very hardened criminal. The house wheré the men were arrested n left there -4s what was at one time the Old Arlington roadthouse and years ago it was run by Dan Allen, who is now dead. THRIFTY IN A SMA WAY. Pat Manning Found Gullible People Very Plentiful In Nebraska. Detectives Hayes and Hudson made a neat capture yesterday when they arrested Patrick Manning, and, if the story of Man- ning himself is to be believed, he is guilty of almost every crime In the criminal calen- murder, The detectives were walking down Jackson street when they met a very peculiar looking man. He had an ugly scar about five inches in length upon his neck, and as he acted rather sus- plclously they plied him with questions and concluded to lock him up. About three months ago the police re- ceived a communication from the authori- ties at Greeley Center, Neb., asking for the ariest of Patrick Manning for disposing of mortgaged property. Nothing was heard of Manning until’ yesterday, and shortly after his arrest he was taken to the office of the chief detective and closely questioned. He sald he was the man wanted, and also added that he had about come to the conclu- slon to not evade the law longer and would tell everything. He sald he was willing to suffer for his crimes and volunteered the in- formation that they were numerous. He began by detailing the case at Greeley Cen- ter. He said that while in that place he purchased a team of horses for $170, paying down $30, and giving a mortgage for ths balance, §140. He then went to Spaulding a few miles from Greeley Center, and sold the team to “Willlam Dunning, _without, however, Hiting the mortgage for $140, and it 18 this offense for which he is wanted. At Greeley Center he also bought some cattle, paying part cash and giving a mortgage for $350 to Banker Love of that place. He went to Spring Creek, where he disposed of the cattle tor Hank Hill, recelving §15 a head. This was the last heard of him around Greeley Cent He went to Genoa, and while there forged a check for He gave the name of John Lewis, and endorsed the check with that signature. He got the money on the checlk, although it was discovered to be a forgery fifteen minutes after he left the bank, but he escaped. Manning chose Grand Island for his next fleld. In that city, however, hg went by his proper name. He went to a‘hog buyer there and represented himself as a hog and cattle raiser, and made a contract to sell about fifty hogs, and swindled the buyer out of $10 advanced on the contract. Manning then went to Cedar Rapids and mgaln represented himself as a stock ralser, and desired to make & contract to furnish bout fifty hogs. He went to one buyer and made a contract with him to furnish the hogs. and, like In Grand Island, he had the forethought to secure a cash deposit on the contract of $15. The same hour he went to another buyer in the same town and ne- ted with him also to sell him some , The contract was made, and he THE OMAHA DAILY BRE: MONDAY, MAY 14, 1894 : Kkindly requested an advance of $10 thereon, which was forthcoming. He returned to Grand Island, the place of his first hog contract adventure. He be- came Intoxicated, and made himself so ob- noxious that he was thrown Into jall to sober up. The hog buyer who had been swindled hil not reported his case to the police, and Manning was simply charged with drunkenness. When he became sober enotigh 1o reason, he began to think of the offense he had committed in the very town in which he was then in jall. He was afraid it would only be a very brief time till his sins would find him out and he would be sent to the penitentiary. On the third day of his confinement he was unusually melancholy, and that night he cut his throat with suicidal intent. He slashed a horrible gash, and nearly died from loss of blood before he was discovered and medical aid summoned. Even then his life was despaired of, and he lay for days in a seml-conscious condition. He at last evin 1 signs of recove and after two months of confinement he was released. He bears the sear on his neck, and It was this that caused his arrest Manning s about 30 years of age. His parents reside in this city at Twenty-sev- enth and Center street ninl Mallocination. the Omaha police were notified that a man who said his name was James Smith and gave this city as his was wandering about in the vicinity enwood, la., in a sadly demented condi All efforts to get him to leave and to this city were futile. He said he had a brother-in-law, a Mr. Henningsten, who runs a dairy at Third and Hickor streets, and that he would like to have him &0 and bring him home. A day or two after this he into the country about Glenwood and got tangled up in a barb wire fence. Before he could extricate himself he had torn his flesh in a painful manner. The Glenwood authorities started to take him to Council Bluffs, but he escaped on the way, and it was several hours before he could be located. He was recaptured, but escaped again, He was again captured at the Chautauqua grounds and some of his friends went over after him. Saturday night they started across the bridge, but Smith escaped again, going back to the Bluffs He was again discovered and Chief Scanlan of Council Bluffs yesterady brought him to this city and placed him in jail Mr. Henningston was notificd Smith imagines he Is engaged to be mar- rled, and when not talking to himself about buying a house and lot or becoming wealthy, he is pounding on the doors for the police to release him in order that he might go and join his Intended wife.

Not being fortified for the undertaking by either a term of apprenticeship in a boat yards with a professional carpenter, nor other similar artisans, which might be con- sidered necessary qualifications for design- ing and constructing a craft that is intended to withstand the squalls upon the ocean, yet a careful examination of the gentleman's handiwork, now nearing completion, must incline skeptics even to the opinion that the hand of a master builder has been at work upon its construction, so faultless does it appear. The head and the hand of the genius who thus planned and executed is that of Mr. G. F. Shephard, residing on North Twenticth street. He has been a resident of Omaha for the last fifteen years, barring a few Intervals when his business, that of @& rancher and dealer in cattle, demanded his presence elsewhere. Until last April a year ago he was interested in a ranch near Norfolk, Madison county. At that time he Qisposed of his property there, and since then has been more or less actively planning for a cruise on the big lakes and along the eastern coast on the Atlantic, to satisfy his longing for adventure and for sport. in which he takes the greatest delight. Hi aim was and is to circumnavigate, first such bodies of water as Lakes Michigan, Superior, Erie, drift into the St. Lawrence river, and finally exit through the gulf of like name into the Atlantic. Hunting and fishing will be his chief aim all this time. Once on the ocean he will hunt down the festive sword fish and the shark. By sinking harpoons deep down into the flesh of sea monsters he will compel them to whirl his yacht along at a pace excelled only by the iron horse. When no such exciting sport Is offered he will allow himselt to aimlessly drift along, while his thoughts are bent upon un- raveling the unsolved mysteries of the deey While not expressly built for the pur- pose, the captain says that this idea has been uppermost in his mind during the construc- tion of the yacht. It is said to possess suf- ficient strength and its shape an adequate guaranty to prevent its occupant or occu- pants from finding a grave in the un- fathomed depths which the storm-lashed waves of the mighty Atlantic might other- wise threaten. This course of spending the summegr, Captain Shephard informed the re- porter, was suggested to him by the dulln of the times. Being in a measure out of business, and feeling loth to re-engage in new transactions, he had resolved to carry his plan into execution. The idea of con- structing his own craft had not occurred to him until after his visit to different ship- building establishments. Here he encoun- tered difficulty in getting builders to construct his yacht according His determination had been to build the yacht with a view to easy draught and strength primarily and to equip her with a gasoline engine, as an additional power to propel. In these ideas he had met with opposition and so finally he had reached the conclusion to be the bullder of his own boat, which for safety would be unsurpassed. UNLIKE ANY OTHER. The vessel to which Mr. Shephard is to entrust himself on a long voyage is unlike the one used by the noted Captain Andrews in his transatiantic trips. The owner, in drawing a comparison between the Nautilius and this vacht, said that the former had been of inferior size, affording no room for the navigator to assume a standing position. He had therefore been compehed to finish his journeys while in a reclining position. The Sapolio was likewise of smaller dimeh- sions. While at the World's fair he had been enabled to inspect this last mentioned vessel and had conversed with Captain Andrews upon what was considered his perilous voyages. Mr. Shephard thinks that for extended trips and insuring comfort his vacht has much to recommend it. He points with pride and satisfaction to his habitation, which shall offer him shelter during the biggest part of the coming summer. - This pleasure yacht, when completed, will present a neat appearance with her many bright, brass rails and fixtures. Her pro- pelling power will be furnished by sails, five in number, with the two-horse power gaso- line engine as an auxiliary power. These engines are yet comparatively new for use on craft, but Mr. Shephard witnessed an experiment of their practicability in Chicago and is convinced that they are all that can be desired for this purpose. The position of the sails can be compared to the rigging of a cutter. The boat has a draw of cigh- teen inches of water and about the same of free board. THESE ARE AIR TIGHT. There are five different watertight com- partments, including the cabin, Two of these confain tanks capable of holding 400 gallons of gasoline for engine use and cook- ing purposes. On top of these tanks is room for clothing and provisions, which are to be carried in rubber bags. Aft of these to his plans. compartments is the cabin, with its roof elevated enough to allow a six-foot man to stand upright. Berths, which when closed will serve for seats, are affixed to the sides of the interfor. Sev- eral windows in the front, on the sides and to the rear will admit light and fresh air. The glass in these is of exceptional strength The steering wheel is also in the cabin. In the stern of the boat is more water-tight space. The rudder is ol brass to prevent corroding. Sixteen inches is the size of the screw propeller. The deck is also to be watertight, and for this purpose an extra covering of canvas will be added. The masts are of unusual height for a small boat, being thirty feet above the deck. The mainmast is hinged and can be easily low- ered, as well as the topmast. The yacht might be denominated a centerboard sloop, with spoon bow, which is modeled some what after the Valkyrie. She is supposed to ride the crest of the waves, instead of forcing her way through them. In building, she was intended for deep water sailing, Her size is twenty feet In ngth, with a width of six feet six Inches. She is es- timated to have a carrying capacity of six tons weight or over, but on this trip she will probably not be burdened with more than two tons. All her brass work was cast in this city. Captain Shephard; the owner, is personally a very pleasant gentleman to meet. He Is courteous, and of pleasing conntenance, with a good deal of determina- tion depicted upon his fac Answering “questions yesterday he stated that he imbibed his love for the water when he lived in Chicago. It had then afforded him great pleasure to sail over the lake and whenever opportunity had offered he had done so. He had started his yacht last November and built her with his own hands In another month he expected to add the finishing touches, and then he would be ready to sail. He had not yet determined positively what route he would take from here. He might go down the Missourl to the mouth of the Ilinois river, and then up to the lakes, through the gulf of St. Law- rence and into the ocean, or if eclrcums stances forced him to alter his plans, he would continue down Into the Mississippl and reach the Atlantic by way of the Gulf of Mexico. Nantucket island was his ob. jective polnt at present. Mr. Shephard is Quily recelving many visits from people who have heard of his daring undertaking. —— Perfect health s seldom found, for impure blood Is so general.

JOHN T. BELL. ling Bar' that Omah —_——- WORK OF POLICE CHIEFS. Results of the St. Louls Convention Highly Pleasing to the President. Chief of Poiice Seavey has returned from St. Louis, where he has been attending the first annual convention of the Nationa Chiefs of Police Assoclation of America. “The Chiefs of Police Union of America is an assured success, and I am proud of that fact, as I was the originator of the association,” said the chief at the Drexel last night. “‘We had in attendance at the St. Louis convention seventy-three chiefs of police, representing nearly every state and territory in the United States. Many heads of departments in the middle and eastern states who hadl promised to attend were kept at home by this Coxey ~movement else we should have had fully 200 members present, Five high police officials In Canada had written me that they would be there, but something happened at the cleventh hour and they could not come. Hugh McKinnon of Hamlilton, Ont., was the only representative of the Canadian police department. In speaking about his re-election as presi- dent of the association Mr. Seavey said that he did not want the place and had so stated from the start, as he thought that it would be better if some eastern chief were made president in order to work up more interest in the association in New England and the middle Atlantic states. The members of the convention didn’t look at it in that light, and re-elected Mr. Seavey by a unanimous vote. “We were royally entertained,” said the chief, by the city and county officials. Some $2,600 had been appropriated for our enter- tainment, and I guess every cent of it was spent. Every afternoon we were taken to places of Inferest. We were shown through the big breweries, the parks, art galleri and given a ride on a river steamboat. Be- sides all of this we were tendered a ban- quet.” When sked something about the good -acomplished, the chief said: “We have awakened an interest in the organization, which now stands on a sound basis. A reso- lution was passed deprecating the fact that many good, true police officers in cities of the second class were removed by a change of the political complexion of the mayor or council. We thought that if a man was an efficient marshal or chief he should be kept in office and not changed every time there was an election. The tramp law was talked over and an effort will be made to have the different _states adopt a uniform criminal code. Members from the smaller citles plainly stated that they came there to learn something from the men who control the police forces of the larger cities. Bvery- thing in connection with a police department was talked over, rules and regulations ex- changed, and also ideas given about arms, equipments and drills. Every little point was gone over thoroughly and we adjourned “all feeling better for the meeting."” The gssociation will mect in Washington, D.

P. & T. A, Omaha, Neb, endorsing the action of the Taxpayers league In foreing the issue of testing the class of the city into the courts just at this time, The subject has been agitated more or less for the last six months, but after a general discussion it was drop the matter until after met next winter, The course ministration, ority of movement check concluded to the legislature the present ad- not suit i pursued by however, did the Taxpay league was put In motion to at any expenditure of money by the coun- cil until this matter of the class of the city could be settled. It ha printed that up to the time the present ad ministration took hold salaries were pald in and a been erroncously accordance with the laws governing cities of the second class, Practically the same policy has been followed by this adminis- tration in regard to salaries as was adhered to by the former one. “You will sce when the Taxpayers league has filed its papers in the case,” sald a man who has held contracts in South Omaha, “that other partics are interested in the defense Dbesides the city offi There are thousands and thousands of dol- lars worth of bonds outstanding, and the men who hold these bonds will jump in there and make a fight for their rights that will surprise the men who have taken a hand in this matter. I held several thousand dollars worth of South Omaha bonds myself for a while, but I sold them, not because I was afraid I would not get my money, but I simply wanted to cash them. I don't even live in South Omaha but liave contracted there a gieat deal, and I am pretty well satisfied that the propo: tion to have the place declared a city of the second class can never be made to stick. While I held the bonds I employed an at- torney to look up the case and his advice to me was that the bonds were good and that I would not lose by holding them.” 3x-City Altorney Van Dusen gave the old council advice on the legality of their acts repeatedly and always held that the cf was working under the head of a city of the first class, It is not unlikely that Mr. Van Dusen will be retained in defending the action brought by the Taxpayers league. Ball P ers Turn Pugilists. The Cudahy “Rex” base ball team and the local ball nine, which is known as the Lone Stars, played a game at Twenty-sixth and B streets yesterday afternoon which was not witnessed by a very large crowd but which was intensely exciting after the scventh inning.
