tlthergang would steal anything It could

ing crowd was prebahly the worst. It
bid its headquarters in a neighborhood
close te the Maryland line, and constantly
eluded the authorities by skipping from
one state te another, when any of the
mombers were apprehended, their friends
came te their aid with manufactured testi
mony, and convictions wero rnre.
The law,s delays, Humorous acquittals of
members of this trans, and the continued
depredations by this band or thieves whlle
the cases against thorn were pending, (for
the accused en every occasion succeeded In
getting ball for tilal) caused the peeple of

own hands a week uge. What they did ap

after the occurrenco. A short resume
in connection with Plekerlng's arrest, is

THE nnOULATOHS ACT.
Frank J. Pickering lived with Mrs.
Susan Adams near Kirk's Mill, Lancaster
county, en a farm. His criminal record is
imprisonment rer soverul short terms for
larcenies. Later he devoted himself te
bigger game, and was suspected of steal
ing horses and running them into Virginia
for snip. lib bocemo very bold
in his' herse thefts, and a few
weeks age scut a boy named Adams,
seu of the woman with whom he
lived, te West Chester, te sell u stolen
horse. The boy was urrestcd and confessed
that Plckering had sent him te soil the an
imal. A warrant was issued for Pickering
and given te Censtable Jenes, of Little
Britain township, te execute. Pickering
was notified by ene of his confederates that
tlierewas a warrant out rer him, and he
kept out of I he way of the constable.
Petty thelts became very frequent the last
few mouths and twenty et theso who
suffered from the depredations of these
thlevcs met and discussed the situation.
It was decided that the only way te rid the
community eRhe robbers was te burn the
home or Pickering, tlni leader. A row
nights nfler this determination a scere el
twenty masked men ussombled at the
rendezvous agreed upon and marched te
the home of Frank Pickering, Mis.
Adams' house. The spokesman made
known the nature of their errand. Mrs.
Adams begged for meicv, but the regula
tors had iioiie te give. They assisted her in
removing the fm uitiire and then applied
the torch te the heuse and uftei wards
served the barn the same way. Yeung
Plckering was net in the neighborhood
when the property w as destroyed. Thasirst
information he had was given te him In his
cell In the Lancaster county prison en (Sun
day afternoon, by an InTELLiacNCEn re
porter. AIlKESTED BY CHILI- IIOnGEU..
Chief of Police Berger received informa
tion late en .Saturday that Plckering was
iu Lancaster. After consulting the flles of
the Intei.liqenceu for tm account or his
criminal career he tnade complaint bofero
Mayer Clark that Plokeiing was n fugltlve
from justice and u wan ant was issued te
him. Armed with this warrant he went te
the King street station, where Pickering
was. lie had been under the watchful
eyes of Oftlcers Hegennr and Ehler for
half an hour, while the chief was getting
the necessary papers filled out. Clilel'
Borger,iiecempanled by an Iniellieenckii
reporter, walked into the gentlemen's wait
ing room and Pickering was seen in the
coiner seal oil behind the deer, munching
candy. The chief said te him : "Is your
name Plckering?" He said : "Ne, it is net."
The thief next said : "I want you for a little
wbllo,ge along with mo."Pickciingreplied:
"All light" and raised himself from the
beat. IIe said nothing further and accom
panied the chief up West King sticet
Chief Burger was en one side of him, a
policeman en the ether and one In the rear.
A DASU VOU LIBERTY.
When Martin's torner was retched Pick
ering made a dash for libeity and ran
towards the Prince street entrance of the
Stevens house. -TlieuiMiicnt lie ran, this
chief drew ills revolver, ran after him and
called te him te step, or he would sheet.
Pickering learcd the ofllcer would sheet
and dropped te the ground. The street was
wet anil Pickering fell, striking the rear
wheel of a cab iu Irent of the hotel. Bofero
hecuuld'get up the chief and Policcmeii
Killer and Hegener were upon him. He
showed fight and madra despemte rcsist
ance,but was finally overnew ercd j nippers
were put upon lifm and he was lauded
safely in the station house.
A search el his pockets showed him te
be In possession of fcI5.0l, a watch chain,
two tiirnpilce tickets for the Lancaster pike.
ruVming te Philadelphia, a stable key, and
a copy of Cramp's township and railroad
map of Pennsylvania, showing every read
in the state.
The arrest caused the greatest oxclto exclto oxclte
incut, and all sorts of rumors were en the
town as te the cause of airest. When
Pickering reached the station heuse he was
asked his it.iineuud gau it as Frank J.
Pickering, age 27, and occupation . farmer.
He was placed in it cell until later
in the night when he was taken te
the county jail and delivered te the kecper
by Chief Berger and Sertcant Broeino.
Constable Jenes, of Little Britain, was
notified of the arrest, and a telegram was
also sent te the chief of pnlice of West
Chcster. Te the latter a re-ply was re
ceived stating that there wuie several
charges against him, he should be held,
and that an elllcer would be sent for him
at once. Chief Jelfries, the officer, arrived
in Lancaster en the Fast Line en Sunday.
Picket lug was very anxious that his
folks should be notified of his arrest, and
he dictated n telegram te William Picker
ing, Oxford, his father, notifying him that
he was under arrest, and he should rome
at ence. This telegram was net sent, as
the Chester county ollleeis wanted te
search his heuse without his knew lug that
the seu was arrested.
AS INTEltMEVV WITH riCKEIUMJ.
Pickering was scen in cell 12 in the
oeunty prison en Sunday afternoon by an
lMJ'i neK.Ncnu rpprcscutatle and asked
what he hud te say. At first he was net
disposed te talk, but he liuallv answered
all the questions put te him. lie said he
was n farmer 27 years old. and caine te
Lam aster en Satuulay afternoon's train
and was about te leave fei Quarry villu
w hen arrested. When asked what he knew
about his mother's plaie being burned
he said he did net knew that it had been
destroyed. IIe denied being the leader of
a band of thieve i, admitted having served
fifteen months In the Cecil county, Mary
land, jail, hut claimed that he was Innocent
of the otlense of which he was convicted.
lie did net appear te knew what he was
wanted for except It might be having in
Ills possession a read cart claimed te be
stolen.
When asked about the stolen herhe he
emit Adams te West Chester te sell he
smiled and said, "he was a bloody yeuug
feel, tee dumb te llve. " He was asked
whether he did net knew ollleers weie
looking for him. IIe said, "yen, I hud
been dodging country constables for some
time, and my arrest iu Lancaster was a
great 'surprise, as I did net think any
body In the town knew or recegnised
intv
When asked about his stealing horses he
said they could net preve that he overstelo
h lioi'e. iieiiiu net neuy u guilty know knew
Iedg of selling horses that wer stolen, but
get around it by mv!u; that k asked no
2G3,
questions iu a horse transaction. When he
bought them he paid for them, and If he
bought them very cheap, that was hi ewu
etlalr.
He was asked te give a reason for trying
te escape. He said he would answer that
by saying "A burnt child dreads the (ire"
and as be bad been In tbe hand of officers
before, be did net think there was any great
harm In getting away from them if he had
a chance. " I would have get away," he
continued " if that cab bad net been stand
ing In front of tbe Stevens beuse, il In-,
tended te run through the corridor of tbd
hotel Inte Water street and when ouce'. Irf
the crowd, I would have slipped away In
the confusion.'!
In concluding his talk be said : " Don't
put te hard a piece in the paper about me,
for all is net true that is said of me."
WHAT IS KNOWN or I'ICKERtMO.
A gentleman who knows all about Pick
ering had this te say of bltu and his crimes:
He is the son or William Pickering, of Ox
ford, a single man 27 years old. He has
bcen an outlaw for years, and would steal
anything could he lay his handsupen. IIe
travels under tbe alias of Jehn Thompson,
and was discharged from the "Baltimore
jail 18 months age, after serving a term for
stealing feed Irem David Brown, near
Perter's bridge. His chief asseciate In ills
robberies was Frank Creager, with a deren
aliases. Creager was caught a row days
age, and is new In Westmlnster, Md., jail
awaiting the arrival or a West Chester olfl elfl
cer. James Adams, another or the gang, Is
InjailatWcstChester.
Creager as a mle stele the horses and
Pickering and Adams did the selling. The
gang had a herse station near Kirk's Mills
and anotherat Rowlandsvllle,Cecil county.
Md. At Kirk's Mills their stable Is covered
with n straw stack, with bu openlng large
enough te admit a horse. Thore horses
wero doctored and their color changed
te preveut Identification.
Officer Jeflries says that the posessions of
a read cart led te Pickcrlngbclngsuspected
of numerous thefts. About three weeks
age, whlle driving en the retd iu a cart, a
Mr. Hepkins, who had a cart stelen, saw
his carl in the possession of Mr. Picketing.
IIe halted him and accused him of stealing
n, j.'icKeniig never answered uepKins,
but Jumped out of the cart and ran away,
leaving his team in the lead.
An examination of the team abandoned
by Pickerlnir was nmde and in the cart
wero found two sets of harness which were
identified by J. A. Cresswoll as having
been stelen from him. The cart Mr. Hop Hep
kins took, but an ewner has net yet been
found rer the horse. The animal is de
scribed as a bay inare, H hands high, four
years old, two hind reel white, star in the
face.
Ofllcer Jeffries relates that en one occa
sion Pickering and Ills gang after stealing
a horse wero pursued by the ewner. The
thieves saw thore was danger of belng
caught and te avoid Identification of the
stelen animal they killed the hoi se and
skltined him.
Pickering had it record as a chlckeu thief
and no hen roost in his section or tbe
county was safe. IIe carries a bullet In
him received a low years age in ene of his
chicken stealing expeditious.
Pickering and his gang became very
bold the last year becaitse the constables in
that section or the county wero afraid te
nrrest thorn. Ills father Is supposed te be
implicated in a number of the thefts
charged te him. His heuse at Oxford was
searched te-day for evidences or his and
his seu's guilt. The result of that search
has net yet been learned by our pelice au
thorities. Ttiore is a toward of 23 for the arrest of
Pickering for stealing Mr. Hepkins' cart.
Thore tire ethor rewards otlered for his
arrest for stealing horses, and the au
thorities expect te convict Pickering of
several herse thefts, and if se, it will add
materially te the reward te which Chief
Bergor is entitled for thoarrest.
CONSTABLi: JONES IN TOWN.
Censtable Jenes was iu the city this
morning. IIe knows or many charges
against Pickering, in which the evidence
is conclusive as te his guilt. Nothing that
he knows eris pending against him in this
county. Pickering, he says, was arrested

Pickering was seen te drive the team into
Chcster county, and whan he found he was
closely pursued he abandoned it, and it
was rocevorcd by Mr. Blnkley.
HIS TAI. TRIES TO ESCAlT.
Frank Croager, Pickering'a principal as
sistant, was In the Westminster Jail, as noted
abeve, awaiting the arrival of the Choster
county authorities, who wero expected to

(t '
There wero two daring burglaries en
North Market street, this city, during the
last two nights and from the manner in
which they were committed thore is no
doubt that tbe thief was n person well ac
quainted. Abraham Souders llves in a two-story
frame heuse at Ne. 311) North Market
street. He has a housekeeper, who went
away en Saturday evening te remain evor
night. She placed the key tinder a small
keg, which steed ou the front steps, se
that he could get It. Souders returned
home about half past cloven o'clock, but te
his surprise hn found that the front deer
was open. He went through the heuse
and found that eery room had been en
tered ; drawers and closets had been over
hauled, clothing tern about igid searched,
and In fact the whele house had bcen ran
sacked. Nothing was stolen as far as yet
known. The key te the front deer was
lyliift In the flowerbed iu the raid en Sun
day, where It hud been thrown by the
thief after he had unlocked the deer.
The thief seems te have been a bold ene,
for last night he returned and robbed the
heuse uext deer te Mr. Souders, w here he
was mere successful. The heuse is Ne.
321 North Market street, and it is occupied
by Mrs. Mary Kugretf, a widow, with
several children. Sume time during the
night the thief crawled upon the
frame shed In the rear of the heuse
and then tnade his way te a see seo soe

rouievod a fly screen. He entored one
room iu the rear, and from that went te
another, which was occupied by Mrs. En En
gretland her daughter Llrzle. Tlierewas
a trunk in the room in which Mrs. L'ngrelf
kept her money. The key was iu a small
slipper, which steed upon a bracket in the
room, but the thief seemed te knew where
it was. With the key he opened the trunk
and took from It seven ?e bills. He also
went tlueugh the outlre house, looking for
mero money or valuables, but falled te get
any. Frem the marks en the roer It Is be
lieved that the thief slipped oil in getting
down after commuting the theft, The
peeple lu the heuse did net hear the thief
operating, and although he may have used
chloroform en Mrs. L'ngrelf and her
daughter, they felt no cllects or It this
morning.
Mrs.Lngreff is a peer woman who earns
her meney by going out ironing and doing
ether hard work. Only hist week she re
ceived $0 of the money that was stelen.
She was se careful or w hat money she had
that evon her daughter did net knew that
she had anything like that amount In the
trunk. It was Mrs. LngrelPs Intention te
purchase a number of things for her
daughter, who is sickly, and iu that way

about a dollar that the thief did net find she
would have had nothing te eat for break

Pewderly Tells Werktnginen te Make
a Nw Declaration of Independence.
Master Workman Powderly delivered
the Fourth of July oration at Prlceburg,
near Wllkosbarre. He was very bitter in
his denunciation of "boss politicians," who
be said were the curse of this country. It
might seem strange, he said, in the closing
years of the nineteenth century te call at
tention te the Declaration of Independence,
but Inasmuch as the docuinent had net
bcen read he would read it. Alter reading
It (Mr. Pewderly said that last week in
Philadelphia religious leaders brought a
petition te htm signed by the leading
clorgymeu, lawyers and business men im-
f during the rzar of Russia te be merciful te

yet In the Punxsutawney mines of Penn
sylvania men and their families are starv
ing te death and r.e ene sends petitions te
their onslavers asking that their chains be
loosened.
The chains en the laboring man are fast.
They are net regarded, and they begln te
gall. He boned they would coiitliiue te
gall, se that the werkitigmpu would rlse in
their might and successfully resist their
bondage.
"The Declaration or Independence aays
we are all free. Hew many or you work werk
iiigmen were free te go te Harrlsbuig a
week or two age and express yourselves
as te who should be nominated?" Neuo or
you, I dare say. Hew many or you were

for governor? Net ene of you. Party
'bosses' such as Matt Quay nre werse than
Anarchists. They thwart the will of the
people Alfred Parsons and (liny are
Identlcal. I thank Ged that Wallace was
defatted. "
Powderly doneuncod Piatt for bossing
the world's fair. Tlatt said the fair must
go le Chicago, and it went. One hundred
years age the peeple revolted against the
power of a king.
"Aud ueiv with the closeof the nine
teenth century a man whose hand never

American Congress what It shall de. A

through the intluonce of Bess Quay a
favorite son or the Standard Oil company,
ene of the giant monopolies of the world,

Jacob Myers, the englneer, testified that
when he reached Witmer Station he ro re ro
eolvod a signal te step the train, and did
se. In a few motnents the signal was given

finding or Hartmau en the track shortly
after this train left, badly hurt. The Jury
rondeiod a verdict of accidental death. His
funeral took place this morning from the

hostility te the candidates or his
party in the state and expect his constitu

united support. He bus been nomlnated
for a third term without evon the som sem som

compliment gives him no warrant te turn
his hand or veice against the regiilirly
chosen candhlntes of ihepaity. He Is the
candldate of the Republicans or the

hociiuse he Is a kicker or a sorehead, but
