The Sixth Ward feeemi lo Have Been En
tirely Overlooked, la the First District
The Enumerator Wanted to be Relieved,
bat Could Get No One to Take Hi Place.
The working men are generally surprised
that they have not been assailed by the
census enumerators. Nearly every labor
leader approached yesterday stated that he
had never seen a census taker, and no person
on their streets had been approached.
Stephen Madden, Assistant Secretary of the
Amalgamated Association, said:
"There has been no enumerator at my
house, nor have I heard of one invading the
West End. We certainly expected to be on
the list, hut after waiting for several days for
got about the matter."
John Cahill. a class worker, living on Ann
street above Marion, said that, so far as ho had
heard, there bad been no census enumerator
along the street.
President Smith, of the American Flint
Glass Workers' Union, whose home is on Forbes
street below Miltenberger, said he had never
been approached by a census enumerator.
Master Workman Evans andFinanclalSecre
tarv Laura Powell, of District Assembly No. 3,
K. of. L., also claimed to have never seen a cen
sus enumerator.
Secretary George Cake, of the Window
Glass Workers' Association, says he has also
been missed.
Edward Kcil, trustee of the Amalgamated
Association, said ho bad never heard of a cen
sus enumerator being in the neighborhood of
Vcrner station and Woods' Hub.
Watson street contains probably 150 persons
all told. They all stand & very good chance of
being missed 'in Uncle Barn's directory. The
household of Captain Joseph Prlngle, No. 50
Watson street, of Mrs. Armstrong, No. 52, of
Mr. KaHcrty, No. 56, and of Mr. Kohen, o. 17,
have not been included in the rounds of the
enumerator.
On Fifth avenne, the business places of
Liveryman McNulty, Stationer Brodie and
Grocer Langhurst have not been visited, al
though they all lie between Chestnut and High
streets.
The residents of Chestnut street claim they
have not et seen the enumerator, and feel that
tbej ha e been left out of it, Tho work in the
First district has been delayed owing to the
sickness of tho enumerator, who wanted some
one to take his place, but Supervisor Oliver
could get no one to relive him.
OYER IN ALLEGHENY.
SCORES OF PEOPLE WHO WERE MISSED
AT BOARDING HOUSES.
Enumerator! Guess at the AuiWcrs to the
Questions Boarders fcklp Out tho BneU
Door While the Enumerator Waited Mills
Given tbo Go-by.
An investigation of some of tho leading
business establishments and private resi
dences of Allegheny reveals a condition of
things pointing to uncertain statistics that
makes the work of tho census takers a
doubtful compilation. Many of the districts
supposed to have been thoroughly canvassed
by the enumerators who havo gono ovor them
aro furnishing instances dally of persons who
were missed by tbo knights of tho portfolio.
"Perfection is an unknown quantity In
statistical science." said a gentleman employed
at Boggs A UutU's, "and tho discrepancies in
tbo work ot the Allegheny census takers will
detract considerably from the reliability of the
general statittlcs. Of the hundreds of ladies
and gentlemen who are emplojed by this linn,
only a portion live at homo with their parents.
They, of course, have been properly taken by
the census enumerators, as their parents could
furnish the information in their absence, but
that is not the case with a largo number of the
rest of the employes. Over a hundred clerks
ana salesmen do not live at home, but reside at
boarding homes instead, llicso are not at
ihome except during certain hours in the even
ing, and the enumerators hae failed to meet
them personally."
Talks were had with the employes at the
Westingbonse Airbrake Works, and of the
3,000 and more workiug there a generous pro
portion live in boarding houses. They stated
that they bid not been called upon by the enu
merator wmlo at home, but the census taker
had asked for them at their boarding houses
several times when they happened to be our.
Lindsay A.McCutcbeou's mills were visited
bytbeccnsu taker of that district, but, as he
was expected to enumerate only thoso who
slept in the building, none of the mill men
.were taken as they were supposed to be ques
tioned at their homes. Few were approached
directly by the enumerator, and the majority
of the un.uarrled factory hands were not seen
at all by the census taker.
Other well-known manufactories report the
same state of affairs, and in thousands of
cases-theinformation secured by the enumera
tors has been obtained solely lrorn boarding
house keepers whose knowledgo of their ten
ants and boarders did not extend beyond their
names and occupations, while the answers to
the other 25 or more questions are guessed at
lnqnir.es at some of the largest boarding
bouses elicited soruo interesting facts. When
the census taker called around in the evening
tn pnt his questions to the boarders, he would
be pontcly requested to remain seated in the
parlor while his victi ns finished supper. Then
the intelligent and sagacious young men
stealthily beat a hast retreat through the back
door, leaving the landlady to give the informa
tion to the enumerator.
"Allegheny is the bedroom of Pittsburg,"
said Superintendent Oliver, "and consequently
a hard city to enumerate. Our men have great
difficulty in catching the people at home. They
have displajed indefatigable encrcy, and, so far
as I know, left en stone unturned in their hunt
for the people. The othor day a man ran across
15 Italians who were litlng in a box car on the
railroad. An interpreter was called on, and all
theinformation secured that was desired. I
don't doubt that some persons have been
mlsed, but that does not stamp the whole
census as a failure. Those few mistakes do not
make it, like a bad egg, bad all the way
through."

DIRECXOKY JIAKI2TG DIFFEEENT.
J. G. Diffenbacbcr," the directory maker,
stated that he had 65 enumerators at work tn
the two cities for three weeks, and although
they only had three questions to ask instead of
SO, as eensus enumerators have, Mr. Diffen
bacher -said It was impossible to get the di
rectory as correct as could be wished. Some of
his men bad met with crank people who had
been importuned by the makers of business di
rectories, and they insisted on taking the
enumerator for the one that had previously
viBitcd them. As he had no legal power to
mate them talk, he was put to much trouble
to get his information from other people, and
then when he made a mistake some of these
tery cranks would como around and raise a
row after the book was ont, either becauss
their names ere not in it or because their
business or residence was not given correctly.
Mr. Diffenbacher said he felt every year vexed
enough to pull hi' hair out.
R. b. Frazer, Esq., thought the cry that
thousands of names were missed considerable
of a chestnut. He said the people in aspiring
riHoswere always disapnointed to find the
population less than tbey expected, and re
ferred to tho kick in Chicago in 1SS0. where a
revision showed the enumerators to have been
approximately correct.
William B. Broe, Esq., didn't know whether
his name, color and previons condition of servi
tude bad been taken by an enumerator or not,
but he knew he bad not been interrogated him

laborers. A few evenings since an Italian

the lawn, peeped through windows and doors
until he had thoroughly frightened the women
of tho. household, and finally catching sight of

telligent man, and expressed himself satisfied

TOO MANY QUESTIONS
SAID TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE APATHY
OF THE PEOPLE,
. -Register
Conner Regrets That Many Wero
Overlooked Ilotv a Bald-neaded Olad
Was Interrogated General Freight
Agent Dean's Pointed Talk.
More than one man expressed dissatisfac
tion yesterday at the manner of taking the
census of Pittsburg, when it began to crop
out how a great many people had been
missed in the count Some blamed the cco
plo for their apathy, and others blamed the
bungling system adopted by 'he census
officials in Washington. A number of citi
zens agreed that too many questions were
asked, some of them quite linportlncnt, and
tho peoplo forgetting at the time tho objeet of
tho work, got angry, and didn't cat whether
tho enumerator counted them right or not.
As a sample of the absent mlmlednoss and
indifferenco of tho enumerators, Charles Mil
ler, chief clerk of tbo Monongahelt House,
was askod if he was married. "No," I am still
single." was tho reply.
"How many children do ) on havo?" was the
next question, and the way that enumerator
dug out of tbo door was awful.
"1 don't know whether 1 am scheduled or
not" said the gentleman, speaking of tho rod
ncnt afterward, "but it occurred to mo at the
timo that tbo census man was doing his work in
a slipshod manner."
When S. P. Conner. Register of Wills, was
asked if any of the clerks in his office bad been
overlooked bo replied: "I haven't heard any
complaints. The enumerators do not como to
the offices, but go to the homes of tho people.
Tho trouble, it seems to me, is that the
enumerators haven't time enough to do the
work properly. Tlicro is no occasion for snch
haste. 3 his citv should mako a fine showing,
and it would be a pity, indeed, if many are
overlooked through the indifference of people
or enumerators."
Said General Freight Agent Frank Dean, of
the Lake Erie road: "I don't think my family
has been counted yet, and there are four of us.
I have always claimed that there were more
people in Pittsburg than the census showed. 1
visit other cities a great deal in my work, and
outside of New York and Chicago, I never see
so many peonle on the streets as in Pittsburg.
1 won't even except Philadelphia. Strangers
from other places olten express surprise at the
number of people to be seen on the1 streets
here. There may be reasons for it, in that the
business portion of the city is cramped, or tho
streets are narrow, or it may be that & large
country population comes into the city every
day to transact business, but the fact remains
that the streets aro crowded daily. I have
often thought about this, and think there is a
good point in it."
ME. OLIVER'S EXPLANATION.
THE SUPERVISOR DOING THE BEST HE
CAN WITH HIS MEN.
He Snys Few People Will be Missed An
Entire District to be Secanvasscd More
Arrests to be Slade for Refusing to
Answer Questions.
Census Surpevisor Oliver said yesterday:
"Up to date about 150 districts out of 32
in the two cities have been completed.
There is no doubt that some people will be
missed and others duplicated, but I doubt if
the number will reach S00 in Pittsburg.
How let me say right here, that I am more
than satisfied with the character of the work
done so far. The census enumerator has at
thankless job, but nearly all the men in
my district have been energetic aud consci
entious in the performance of their duty.
There are, of course, among tho 309 enumera
tors under my supervision, some pour oues.
Now to-dav I had to get a man to go over an
entire district again, the enumerator who was
originally appointed having, from the apnear
ance of his returns, not the faintest conception
of the character of tho work he had sworn to
perform. In another district the ennmerator
took out bis blanks, but never opened them or
made the slightest motion toward performing
bis duty. Another man was appointed to do
the work, and the delinquent's case will bo re
ferred to tho authorities at Washington lor ac
tion. I expect that vo will hare a few scatter
ing returns from city districts coming in until
the middle of next u celt"
Henry Uroon, enumerator in the Eighteenth
ward, yesterday made' information betore
United States Commissioner Gamble against
Joseph Chacletch, John Spiclltch and Igniti
for refusing to answer questions. Theso men
aro Hungarians and live in biobert's row, Ber
lln alley, Tbo ennmerator has been having
considerable trouble among these poople, and
attributes it to their having been broucht here
under contract, and their fear of being, sent
back.
After tho warrants wero issued it was found
there was no one to servo them. United States
Marshal Darrah Is in Willlamsport, attending
court, and he is tbo only man empowered to ap
point deputies. He was telegraphed to and
his roply is being anxiously awaited.

THE
NOI AT ALL SUITED,
Pittsburg Tailors Preparing for an
brganized Attack on a Section
of the McKinley Bill
THAT GIYES SMUGGLERS A CHANCE
To Furnish Americans With $1,200 Worth
of Foreign Clothes, Made to
Measure, for $500,
THE! THINK IT IS DISCRIMINATION,
And Would Much Prefer to Bare the Duty on Woolen
Goods Seduced,
The merchant tailors of the country are op
inarms against the1 McKinley tariffbill, and
the Pittsburg knights of the shears will
meet tnis evening to protest against its pass
age, It is probable that a committee from
this city will, go to Washington to lobby
against the bill and co-operate with tailors
from other cities to have it amended. The
Pittsburg men claim thousands of American
dollars with big eagles on them go to En
gland every year, with the eagles flapping
their wings and screaming at the large
amount of ready-made clothing sent into this
country. If the business was stopped the
tailors would get some of the money now
sent to England. It may not be "English,
you know," but the American tailors will
be satisfied.
'A meeting1 of the Pittsburg Merchant
Tailors' Exchange will be held in the office
of John Bradley & Company, Ko. 94 Eifth
avenue, at 6 o'clock this evening for the
purpose of taking measures to dereat the
passage of that sec'tion of the McKinley bill
referring to clothing.
A DIFFEBENCE DISCOVERED.
The tariff on woolen goods has been ad
vanced 2S per cent, while tho same stuff
made up into suits of clothes can come into
this country free under the provisions of the
new bill. At present only clothing that is
necessary for tho person who owns it is ad
mitted free ol duty. Under the new bill
every passenger coming aorois the water can
bring $500 worth of ready-made clothing
with him, and not pay a cent of duty on It,
It has been estimated by the Pittsburg tail
ors that $500 will buy as much clothing in
London as $1,200 will in Pittsburg or Now
York. They say thoy havo leen English
suits in this city for which the purchaser
paid $20, that they could not afford to make
for less than $45,
Tho American tailors havo unearthed a
nice little scheme the English tailors had in
view, by which the formor might as well
quit singing the song of this vants and go
ont of the business. Some of tho London
tailors now havo men traveling about this
country taking measures aud selling clothes
made across the water. A few weeks ago
an agent of a big London firm was in town
soliciting business. He went among tho
people who purchased good clothing and
wanted an English cut, and had no trouble
securing orders. He took the measures and
sent them by letter to his firm.
ONE TI1INO OVERLOOKED,
A perfect fit was guaranteed in each case,
but it is possible the customers will have to
take the clothes tn an American tailor to be
altered. This is known to have been tho
case in New York and Boston, where people
were carried away by the idea ot having
clothes made in London. They lost sight of
the fact that there might be some trouble
about the tit, but found It out after the clothes
had been paid for.
In urgent cases the agents telegraphed tho
measurement to London, and the clothes were
sent over along with dozens of other suits.
The scheme Was to havo men travel regularly
across the ocean and give each $500 worth ot
clothing to take with him. Upon arriving at
NewYorlcand after passing the customs in
spectors, who could not detain the men, tho
latter were to be met by the agent and tbd
clothes turned over to him. He would send
them to the different cities, where the solici
tors had fonnd customers It is estimated that
the total expense connected with the shipment
of a suit to this city would not exceed J1Q. It
will be readily seen how the business would In
jure the trade of Americans. In speaking of
this Mr. Martin bchrocder. Secretary of the
Pittsburg Exchange, said yesterday:
WILL STJfiELY PIGIIT IT.
"We will certainly do everything in our power
to prevent the passage of the McKinley bill in
its present shape. If it goes throngh as it
stands ,now the New York and Boston tailors
may as well quit making clothes and become
agents for the English hpuses. Of course, if
tho bill becomes a law, tho New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Chicago men will feel it more
than the Pittsburg merchants. Only the very
best tailors here who have a One class of trade
would be affected, but we propose to try and
remedy the bill before ono man is hurt. Under
the McKinley measure an agent might get or
ders jn this country for from $15,000 to 520,000
worth of clothes and have them shipped with
out paying 1 cent of duty. Tho passengers on
America-bound vessels could bo used as agents
to carry the clothes over here, and each one
could be given a suit for his trouble. Any per
son can see the immense profits for the English
tailor and the disaster awaiting the Americans
if tbo bill passes.
"Another thing about the duty Is wrong.
Tho tariff on woolens has been advanced 28 per
cent, but if the cloth is made into suits there is
no duty whatever. It would suit the American
tailors better if therowas less tariff on the
cloth and some on the made-up garments. The
tight will bo made on tho clause allowing each
steamer passenger S300 worth of clothes. This
amount of money spent in England would keep
some people in clothes for J ears. We havo
figured it out. and find that $500 will buy as
much in England as 51,200 would in this conn
try." THINK IT'S INJUSTICE.
Mr. Edward Schauer, of Schauer & Busch,
said: "We had one meeting last week, and will
have another to-morrow evening. We think
the bill is an injustice to tho merchant tailors
of this country, and will do everything we can
to prevent tho passage of that section. We
will co-operate with tho tailors of other cities,
and mav send a commltteo down to Washing
ton. W'e will stop tbo smuggling of clothing
now going oa or know tho reason why. The
American tailors have lost thousands of dollars
every year on this account, and It Is pretty
nearly time they stepped in and took action
against it I do not suppose Major McKinley
saw the Injury he was iolng ns, and I have no
idea but ho will remedy tho defect. It hu does
not we will fight the measure.."

The Church Home Festival.
This time-honored event will be held this

The festival will be, as in the past, a sort

PITTSBUKG- DISPATCH,,
SO COAL PALACE FOR THEM.
Local Operators Sny It Could be Done, bat
the Expense Makes Them Shiver No
Such Exhibitions Wanted In a. Oat
City.
The farmers in the West delight in show
ing what they can do by erecting corn pal
aces, the Canadian is prouoof hit cold and
ice, and every year centers his winter sports
about an ice castle, and it has been sug
gested that Pittsburg might imitate these
examples by building s huge coal strncture
in connection with the exposition. The first
point to be settled was could such a building be
made of the coal in this section? The question
was promptly disposed oT in the affirmative by
Alex Dempster and J. C. Dysart, of the Char
tiers Block Coal Company. Both gentlemen
declared that the coal as bard and durable
enough. ,
Mr. Dempster, however, senf a chill down tho
reporter's spine with his next query. "But
who will stand the expcnseT It might pay to
build such a palace in Chicago," he con
tinned, "or in any other market for Pittsburg
coal, but it wouldn't help the operators hore."
"Why build a coal Dalace in a gas city?" said
another operator connect ea with the New York
and Cleveland Uas Coal Company.
"Our markets are not in Pittsburg, bat it
could be done with the local coal, so fat as that
is concerned."
It was quite evident that the railroad coal
operators spoken to were not particularly at
tached to the project when the element of cost
was considered. The verythonzbts that they
would be asked to furnish the dust made them
shiver.
With some hope left, the rivermen were next
consulted, but Captain W. W. O'Neil soon dis
pelled even that. Said be:
The coal in tbo Fourth pool conld be used
for such a palace, or rather a wooden building
veneered or lined with coal could be pnt up,
but it wouldn't pay us to advertise in that way.
We have a market for our coal, and the price is
the only thing that worries us. The operators
could easily add a few cents a bushel, if they
would all agree to it, but they won't do it. Most
ot the river coal is sold, but we haven't made
any money. I think If the water would be low
for a fow months the price would go up."
The Captain squarely stated what Captain
McClelland declared in Chicaco a fow days ago
about tho World's Fair, that Pennsylvania was
too prosperous a State, ana had a sufficient
market for her products without adopting the
Wettern idea of making pleasing exhibitions
at expositions to boom trade.
MAY USE FUEL GAS.
Ono of the Fnllinan Brothers Says They
Haven't Experimented With It.
O. L. Pullman, one of the noted palace car
builders, was in the city for a short time yes
terday. Mr. Pullman said ho had put In a bid
for tho cars on tho Birmingham line, but he
couldn't saV how soon the contract would bd
let. As for introducing fuel gas into the

The Dispatch's old-fashioned and
patriotic Fourth of July is to be pushed to
a consummation. Mayor Gourley returned
liome yesterday, and is enthusiastically in
favor of ft, as is everybody approached on
the snbject.
Chief Bigelow, who is the guardian of
Schenley Park, has not yet been seen; in
fact, he is a very hard person to find. His
dnties call him to every part of .the city,
and he is constantly on the move. Until he
can be consulted on the availability of the
park for the proposed demonstration noth
ing can be done. There is no doubt, how
ever, bnt that the Chief will stretch every
point to bring Pittsburg's breathing spot
into immediate and favorable notice. Mayor
Gourley will consult with Chief Bigelow
to-day on the subject, and If satisfactory ar
rangements can be made, as they un
doubtedly will be, ,will prepare and issue &
proclamation to the cilizens of Pittsburg, in
which he will ask that every good and true
man and woman, and children, too, for that
matter, bend their energies toward making
it an occasion that will never be forgotten.
MAYOR GOTJBLEY ENTHUSIASTIC.
In speaking of the proposed celebration
yesterday, Mayor Gourley Baid: "It ia a
great and patriotic idea, and there is no
donbt in my mind but that it will be suc
cessful. To-morrow I hope to havo a consulta
tion with Chlof Bigelow to learn if Schenley
Park will be availablo for the school children's
demonstration. If it Is I will at once prepare a
proclamation to the citizens of Pittsburg, ask
ing their co-operation, which I think will be
obtained without any trouble. There are too
many parents, patriots and patriotic parcnts,in
this city to allow of tho affair being a failure.
It will give the children a DOtter. understand
ing of tbo principles upon which the govern
ment of this country u founded, and of their
duties as citizens, than any other scheme that
could bo devised. I shall ask the sohool boards
of the city to consider tho matter and to tako
such action and mako such arrangements as
may seem best to them. I bollore they will co
operato cheerfully.
"Thero is another feature of this demonstra
tion it will make Schenley Park popular at
ono bound. It usually takes timo to educate
people up to nn appreciation of parks. You
can havo no idea how people dollght in them
In otbor cities. Yesterday I visltcdFalrmount
Park in Philadelphia. Tho main drlvo, which
is several miles long, was ono long procession
ot evory class of vehicle imaginable, ivhilo
thousands of men, women and children dotted
tho green sward. Lincoln Park, which is 11!
miles from Philadelphia, is resorted to by
thousands of citizens evory Sunday. Boats
run betwoen the city and tho park overy halt
hour from early morning until late at night.
Twenty cents Is charged for tho round trip,
and every boat is crowded,"
HIGH TIME IN OAKLAND.
The residents of Oakland square held a meet
ing last night to perfoct arrangomonts for the
Fourth of July celebration out in Oakland. A
programme was mapped out for tbo day. It is
tbo intention to havo a grand display of fire
works, Interspersed with music by a brass
band. Committees were appointed to attond to
the details and to solicit subscriptions from tbo
people in Oakland to inattotho event a very big
one. Already the committor) having the matter
in band bave raised several hundred dollars to
bo expanded In fireworks and music. The dis
play will likely be given on Forbes'street, be
tween Atvrood and Myram.
The people aro very onthuslastic and intend
to mako this celobration one that will exceed
any previous attempt of tbis kind. Enough
monoy 19 undoubtedly expected to be raised by
tho commltteo to insure a very elaborate lino
of set pieces. Theso will consist of portraits in
tire of America's notable statesmen, among
whom the signers ot tbo Declaration of Inde
pendence will be proiontcd. Other novelties id
fireworks, such as ships, and cataracts of fall
ing wator, will bo set off for the admiration
and delight of the people of Oakland.
Another mooting will be held shortly to com
plete final arrangements for the celebration,
at which the Committee on Finance will report.
HOT MUCH HOPE FOE SMITH.
The Fardon Bonrd Fails to Take Any Action
In His Case.
Attorney McElroy appeared before the Board
of Pardons yesterday, at Harrhbnrg, In behalf
of the condemned murderer Smith. He asked
for a rehearing in tbo caso for the purpose ot
having his mental condition examined. The
board asked him to file new reasons, and he
said he bail been referred to them by Govurnor
Beiver. He read a letter from Drs. Willey and
Ayres, in which they statod that they suspected
Smith had incipient insanity on account ot bis
erratic movements, and from the fact that he
tried to kill bimself. Mr. McElroy claimed
Smith was insane, and held that at the final
aigument ho could show that it would bo a
mockery of justice to hang him in bis present
condition. The board took no action in tho
case, and it looks now as if Smith will have to
Bang.
Ajax Joneo, Robert Smothers, and other
colorod people, are circulating a petition which
will be sent to the Governor asking blm to
commute Smith's sentence to lifo imprison
ment. Tbey bold he is inane, and hope to get

A &AT BOY BURGLAE,
Who TZejoices in (he Fact That He is
a Criminal of Kepate.
A HANDSOME BUT HARDENED LAD.
Candy-Bnlclierins Was Not a Quick Enough
Way to a Fortune.
GOES TO JAIL LIKE A LITTLE MAS
Sheriff W. B. Clarke, of McKean,
brought to this city yesterday a very nnique
criminal and lodged him in the Central sta
tion for the night The prisoner's name is
Samuel Powell.he isl5 yearsold, andisproud
of the fact that he has already committed
two burglaries. Tho boy has black hair,
bright black eyes and a dazzlingly white
skin. He is remarkably big for his age, and
would easily pass for 18 or 20 years old.
The boy's home is in Bradford. His fa
ther is dead, but his mother and sisters ate
living, and are highly- respected and well
connected. The boy, however, has been as
sociating with some of Bradford's tough
characters, and the Sheriff saya they are
very tough indeed. The boy obtained em
ployment with the Union News Company
nbout 15 months ago, but the trade of candy
butcher did not open up a sufficiently short
avenue to fortune to suit young Powell, so
he determined to carve a fortune for him
self with ajjurglar'a jimmy.
HIS FIBST job.
"The first crib I cracked," said Powell
last night, a3 he unctuously rolled the
thieves' slang under his tongue, "was-about
a year ago. A pal and I broke into 'a meat
market in Bradford." Powell and his con
federate, according to tho officers,broke
open a chest and stole 3125 in money and about
$100 wortb of valuable articles. Both boys
were arrested and convicted, but owing totbeir
good connections and theiryoutb, sentence was
suspended upon promise of future good be
havior. Young Powell seemed to take this Ies3on to
heart, and for several months behaved bimself
in an exemplary manner. Finally bis tboughts
turned again to too idea of attaining money
with ease and rapidity, and he sought for on
opening for his peculiar talent of housebreak
ing. Having been unfortunate with a meat
market, he decided to open a shoe store in the
night. Having obtained a confederate, and bo
bad no troublo in doing that, as bo is a brlrht
boy with a porsnaslvo tongue, he entered upon
bis second campaign against tbo peace of tbe
Commonwealth. Ponrell and his companion
easily effected an entrance into tho Rochester
shoe store, at Bradford, and carried oil $175,
which bad been deposited in an old fashioned
safe. Both boys wero arrested and taken to
Brno th nor t for trlil. They wero convicted, but
tho influcnoo ot Powell's friends secured his
transportation to Morganza, instead of a peni
tentiary sontonce. The other boy wis released
on suspended sontence.
MET BY HIS SISTERS.
Powell was taken from tho Jail at Smethport
yesterday for removal to Morganza. Tho train
passed through Bradford and tho boy's sisters
were there to bid him farowell. Thoy boarded
the train and rode several miles with blm. Tbo
boy then seemed to realize the enormity of his
