THE SCI? ANTON. TRIBUNE-MONDAY MOKNTITGr. DECEMBER 31, 1894.
CAREER OF A DETECTIVE
Sergeant Riley Caught Many Famous
Criminals in His Time.
ISO CRITICISM FROM LEXOW
fiun Down Embezzler Weeks at Costa
Rica, and Was Concerned in tho Arrest
of Ruloff, a Notorious Murderer
and Organizer of Thieves.
By the United Press.
New York, Dee. 30. There Is one man
ot least connected with the New York
police department, who has escaped
criticism at the hands of the Ixow
JnveBtlgatlnK committee. That man Is
Directive Sergeant Phil Riley. He has
a record to be proud of. It was Riley
who was sent a Costa' Rica to run
down and brliifr iback Weeks, the em
bezzler, concerning -whom so much was
paid in 'the papers about a year ajro.
"Weeks ruined a score of confidlnir vic
tims by his operations and pot away
with 'hundreds of thousands of dolhars
and then fled with his wife to Costa
Itlca. Another remarkable case took
tttlley to Chili, where he worked for
fleven months runntiiB to earth a muhk
null) who ' had been the confidential
bookkeeper of a Now York law Ilrm and
liad stolen $:t,009. During his long
Ftay there, before he succeeded In en
meshing the fellow, Riley learned to
speak Spanish with some fluency. In
ttho thirty-one years during which he
Ivas. been in the detective work In New
York, Riley has made several trips to
Kuropo after criminals, 'three times to
Ijondon, twice to Copenhagen and once
each ito Dublin, Glasgow and Edin
burgh, besides visiting every state in
the union.
Cupture of Ruloff.
One of the most famous criminal
cases In which Detective Riley was con
cerned was that of Ruloff. It is now
twenty years since he was executed, but
his case Is famous in the police an
nals of the metropolis. Ruloff had a
flue mind and would have mado bis
murk In any other line of work. He
bad an immense brain. After he was
executed it was found that his brain
weighed two ounces more than that of
Daniel Webster. Ruloff was the organ
izer ot s dangerous a gang of criminals
as over Infested the metropolis. He
bad his agents in many places where
one would hardly look for them and
was apprised of opportunities for theft
In the most direct and certain mannei.
Ho had had n long career. The ca.?o
which led to his conviction and execu
tion was the robbery of a large dry
goods house In Ulnghamton, N. Y. Ru
loff had an agent In Clatlin's big store
In New York and througli him learned
of the shipment of $3,000 worth of fine
Bilks to Ulnghamton. He at once
planned to steal them. With two men
he reached Ulnghamton the day the
goods were delivered there and laid the
plans to rob the store that night. En
trance was effected and Ruloff re
mained on the outside to guard and as
sist In getting away with the plunder
when it had once been secured.
It (happened that two clerks slept In
the store 4ind they were awakened by
Ruloff's companions as they effected
their entrance.' The clerks made a
game light. In the encounter one of
the clerks was shot dead by the burg
lars, but not before both of the despera
does had received serious if not mortal
wounds. The burglars made their es
cape without booty. When outside Ru
loff quickly discovered that both men
were badly Injured and could not es
cape. They were compelled to cross
the river as the quickest way to avoid
pursuit and a boat had been provided
before hand. They embarked but be
fore the other shore was reached Ruloff
had thrown both Ills confederates over
board and drowned them. The case ex
cited an Immense amount of attention
and the metropolitan detective fores
was put to work upon It. They finally
traced Ruloff to earth and fastened tho
crime upon him In a well woven nnd
complete net of circumstantial evi
dence. Other proof was obtained to confirm
this and the arch conspirator was final
ly convicted and hanged for the triple
murder he had been directly guilty tf.
Doubtless If tho truth were known he
was responsible for a score or more of
ether murders for which no one was
ever apprehended.
A CITY SEIZES A HANK.
Held $20,000 Municipal Funds ond Now
a Receiver Runs It.
By the United Press.
West Superior, Wis., Dec, 30. A dep
uty sheriff served papers this morn
ing on the officers of the Rank of South
Superior, and the bank was taken pos
session of in behalf of a receiver acting
for the city of Superior. It has been
known for some time that the bank was
In financial Btraita, and the city attor
ney decided that, to simplify matters
and protect the city, which Is a cred
itor, a receiver should be appointed.
Ho secured the order from Judge
Smith, and Homer T. Fowler was se
lected. The bank has $20,000 of city
money.
A FREAK'S LATEST TRICK.
Human Pin Cushion Tries His Hand at
Cleaning Out a Town.
Dy the Uultod Press.
Olean, N. Y., Dec. 30. Professor
Frank Johnson, of Erie, Pa., known to
Advertising fame oh "The Living Pin
Cutihlon," was thrown out of a concei t
hall here while drunk last night nnd
retaliated by opening fire on the crowd
with a revolver. One man fell, where
upon Johnson started on a run un
Union street, yelling and firing In most
approved wild western style.
He was pursued Into a fish market,

him after he had emptied It. The In
jured man, Thomas' Fee, 1ias a bullet in
his thigh and one In his arm. Johnson
was held to answer to a Charge of as
sault with intent to kill. He is on the
verge of delirium tremens.
LOVE'S DEVIOUS WAYS.
In a l it of Jealousy a Man Kills Ills
Fluuce.
By tho United Press.
Monroeville, Ala., Dec. 30. News has
been received here that at Hunters
Mill, Monroe county, Doss Matts, In a
fit of jealous rage, Bhot and afterward
stabbed his fiance, Lizzie Smith. He
then committed suicide by cutting his
own throat.
Some trifling attention received by
the ghl from an old suitor precipitated
the tragedy.
INDUSTRIAL TOriCS.
The recent cold snap has stimulated
the distribution of coal In nil quartet's,
nnd more Is moving than for some time.
The city trade has suddenly become
brisk and New Englajul dealers are
calling for deliveries on orders placed
last month. It appears that a vast
quantity of coal Is still on the shippers'
books at the old low prices, while mid
dlemen have an additional amount to
peddle out 25 cents below the present
circular prices. Some little business
is reported at tlw full new circular, but
it is trifling.
In anticipation of nn unusually large
turn-out of stockholders at tho annual
meeting of the Lehigh Valley railroad
on Jan. 15, It has been decided that
admission to the New Century club,
of Philadelphia, where the meeting will
be held, will be by ticket only. Every
opportunity will be afforded stockhold
ers to be present, and upon u request
to Secretary Faushawe tickets will be
promptly forwarded. Proxies In sup
port of the present management are
still coming In, and the shares repre
sented by the proxies already received,
in conjunction with the Pucker block,
represent considerably more than a
majority of the stock. The Lehigh Val
ley railroad stockholders' committee
announces that a meeting will be held
at Association hall, on Jan. 2, at which
security holder, who are opposed to
the present management of the com
pany are invited to attend.
The present condition of the anthra
cite coal trade, so far as prices are
concerned, Is shown by the fact that the
nominal prices at tidewater have stead
ily declined since the first of the year,
says the Stockholder. In January the
quotations were: Hroken, $1.75; egg, $4;
stove, $4.45; chestnut, $4.45. The figures
now being quoted are: Hroken, $3.10;
egg, $3.20; stove, $3.35; chestnut, $3,25.
The decreasj since January, therefore,
are: Broken, 05 cents; egg, 80 cents;
stove, $1.10; chestnut, $1.20. or an aver
age for the four sines of cents ppr
ton. For eleven months the shipments
of anthracite have aggregated 38,206,
832 tons, and It is estimated that the
total will be increased to, say, 41,000,000
tons by the end of the year. The loss
fo the several companies, therefore, will
be In the neighborhood of $39,000,000;
and all because the interests involved re
fuse to allow tha only safe business rule
that of keeping the supply down to a
parity with the demand. As the pro
duction was the heaviest In the Wyom
ing region, the loss Is greater for the
companies in that region, with the
Schuylkill second, and the Lehigh re
gion last.
It is claimed by some that at last
week's meeting, in Philadelphia, of the
presidents of the coal carrying rail
roads President Harris of the Reading
company "read the riot act" to the
other companies and threw down the
gauntlet by demanding the Imposition
of a money penalty for the evasion of
agreements on the part of any of the
companies. The Philadelphia Record
contains the following: "The Read
ing company has been distinguished
for Its strict adherence to the
observation of all Important an
thracite agreements, such as those
relating to the restriction of pro
duction, whilst other companies have
been negligent, to say the least of It,
In their preservation of freight rates,
their maintenance of anthracite prices
and their positive restrictions In the
matter of output. The Reading cum-
i pany now claims that It has suffered
all that It Intends to suffer from tills
cause, that any further 'funny busi
ness' on the part of Us competitors will
be followed by a wholesale offering of
anthracite by tho Reading. Th pro
position was for the deposit for a heavy
money forfeit as a penalty for evasions,
and the meeting adjourned so that the
maitter might be arranged In a way to
suit every Interest Involved."
There are some Ideas in a recent Issue
of the Hazelton Sentinel which aro
valuable, even though crudely ex
pressed. For instance, tho Sentinel
says: "One of the deplorable things
of the time Is no discussion of any evi
dent Intention on the part of any legis
lator to bring out legislation of value
to tho coal regions. We do not hear of
any member who has any matter more
Important than that of securing places
for friends. The legislator who wants
to benefit this region must go beyond
the demangoglc measures of company
store bills, semi-monthly pay laws and
kindred bills. These are only minor
Ills, If ills at all, as In mnny cases the
company store is an absolute necessity
and perhaps a direct bl'.aslng, while
It Is a mooted question whether In oil,
or even a majority, of cases the semi
monthly pny law Is a good thing for
the men. The mining region will thrive
better without legislation than with the
kind It has received from the dema
gogues of both sides. Such measures
as a change In the system of mine In
ttpeetors, an Employers' Liability bill,
modeled after the English but adopted
to this particular state, a better system
of factory Inspection, tho creation of n
slate bureau of mining with the head
of it a member of the governor's cabl-
net and a mining expert, not a political
heeler all these would be subjects
worthy of men, and which concern cap
ital ond labor more than any of the
thousand trilling and selfish schemes
that will bob up at the next session."
The Stockholder thinks that If tho
restriction agreed upon for January
Is closely followed, the market will be
put In the healthiest condition known,
for many months past,, tm the pres
ent heavy surplus stock will rapidly
disappear, and with It the excuse for
cutting prices. The output for Decem
ber Is considerably larger than had
been agreed upon. On Dec. 1 the out
put for the year to that date aggregat
ed 3S,208,C71 tons, by Dec. 22 It had been
Increased to 40,773,178 tons, an increase
of 2,504,50" tons. As the output on Dec.
1 nnd the production since Dec. 22
(which has not yet been reported) Is to
be added to the 2,501,507 tons, It is at
once apparent that the total for the
month will exceed 3,000,000 tons, or over
500.000 tons more than had been agreed
upon.

THE CELEBRATED
TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many paN
rons thut they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD W HEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will tako
no risks, and will nllow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brauds.
