Rotnn, district nttorney, comracntlnB on the cases of two boys felled by shots fired by rallrond detec tives In the InRt two days, said, "More enre should be exercised by private detectives In handling their revolvers." One of the victims was killed, while the other is In a serious condition. "This ought especially to bo the case where the life of a boy is at stake," he said. "The mero fact that n boy runs, or tampers with a freight car, and it is not certain that the dead boy did, is no excuse for a man in the 'employ of the railroad to take a pot shot at him." Mr. Rotan was discussing the killing of fifteen-year-old William Shaeffcr, 1335 South Twenty-ninth street, on Wednesday by (Jeorgc Headline a spe cial officer employed by tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Bcadling, who was held without bail to await the action of the coroner, nnr r6wly escaped injury nt the hnnds.of an infill iated mob nfter the shooting. The building of Kngiiip Company 47, nt 303Ti (irny's Terry road, to which lie fled, was surrounded. Tho boy had been swimming with friends nt Baxter's Wharf, In the Schuylkill river at the foot of Thirty first street. Ho hid one of his com panion's shoes and scampered up the bank, laughing. A few moment later, according to friends, they were nttractcd by the firing of a revolver. Four shots in all wcro fired, they sara. When Ucndling was nrralgned before Magistrate Baker yesterday, the father of the dead bor, William Shncffer, Sr., pleaded with the magistrate to "have a few minutes alone" with Beadling. "Ho killed my innocent boy in cold blood," declared the grief-stricken father. Witnesses were produced who de clared the bov had nothing to do with tho tnmpcring of the freight car and Beadling did not testify in his defense nt yesterday s proceedings. Shaeffcr was the oldest of ten chil dren.

Founded in 1832 as Bailey & Kitchen at 136 Chestnut steet, they have ever been prominently associated with Chestnut street, and have devel oped such widespread connections and so tremendous a national trade mat a new twelve-story building, solely for manufacturing, is being constructed in addition to their present plant. Through all the years of their activities they have conducted business in the same liberal and honorable lines, and today the name Bailey, Banks & Biddle Company is synonymous with sterling worth. ' FAR from losing patrons by their fire, Oppenheim, Collins & Co., Chestnut and 12th streets, have madehosts of new friends, and that through the unusually generous and fair treatment accorded customers whose effects were destroyed. With the welfare of the public entirely at heart, they fixed up all claims for damages without dispute. Naturally, every woman who had feared diffi culties was delighted with her good luck, and spoke in the highest terms of the firm to all acquaintances, and tho ball has kept rolling. Though there were any number of claims to be adjusted, besides thousands of other things to be attended to, 00 pei cent of them have already been satis factorily settled, and checks for the remaining 10 per cent will be paid as soon as claims are presented. , c TvIAMONDS, pure as sparkling iji. t j uewarops in tne early morn, hush ineir enticing message from the cases of Bailey, Banks & Biddle Company, where many pieces, original and beautiful in design, are on display. Diamonds there are of every size mounted in every style, but Bar Pins claim most attention. Some are straight bars, in varying lengths, set with well-matched dia monds, others are in pierced effect, the shape that spreads in the middle and tapers off at both ends. A glo rious straight filigree Bar Pin, paved with 20 brilliants, holds 11 perfect blue-white diamonds, the center one weighing 1 carats, while another, on the brooch-pin order, has three rows of diamonds, the mid dle one in a square setting, with the center design formed by three large and four medium-sized diamonds.
