AN OVERCOAT THIEf.
William Kenncy Deprives an En
gineer of His Garment on a Cold
Night.
A man of many names und with n
desire for a. pillow was In the tolls of
tho law long enough yesterday to ne
tiled, held and taken t Scranton. It
was all about an overcoat, which seems
to bo the proper thing to steal these
days. The.se nccessaiy garments have
contributed to the maintenance of con
stables and aldermen considerably of
late.
On Wednesday night William Maln
.warlng. night engineer In the Dela
ware and Hudson boiler hoube. in the
lallroad yatd. went to work with his
iaim overcoat securely buttoned about
his chin nnd thought of the cotnfoit It
would bo when he wended his way
homo again In the early morning. He
tenderly, almost leverently, hung It up
on a peg In the holler house nnd went
to work. About 12.45 In the morning
he went outside to see If the steam
was heating the cars all right. As he
passed by his coat he stroked It caress
ingly, rive minutes later he letutned.
TViUsIng to contemplate the object of
his pride ho wan honor struck to see
that It had vanished.
Ho hutrledly notified Night Watch
man Wills, who is a special olllcer, nnd
they, with Ofllcer Carden, dlscoveud
footpilnts in the snow, which led to a
shanty nbove the Coalbrook culm
dump. On approaching the shed they
heard a noise within ns of coal sliding
down an Iton chute, witlia spasmodic
guiglc at Intervals. Mystified, but un
daunted, the three hastened In, and bo
hold a man placidly sleeping, while a
mi ore sounding like a steam bhovel
jairtd tho snow from tho roof. The
cherished overcoat was tolled up In a
wad nnd decorated the under side of
a frowsy head.
After an energetic struggle the weary
one was aroused. Ho was rudely
brought from the land of dreams by
the owner of the overcoat snatching it
from under him at last. A search of
his clothes disclosed the presence of
a pocketbook which Mr. Mainwnrlng
claimed. The erstwhile sleeper was
hustled to the city tombs. Yesterday
morning he was brought bcfoie Alder
man Delevan, where it was seen that
1f he was short of overcoats he was
long on names, as he answered to tho
titles of William Law ler. William Brad
Icy. William Kenncy, nnd vntlous other
"Bills." Mr. Law ler, etc., protested his
abhorrence of such a deed as he was
charged with and affirmed his sincere
belief that some one must have put tho
coat under his head while he was lost
In slumber and kindly transferred to
his own coat tho pocketbook. Some
how his story didn't make much of an
Impiesslon on the alderman, who com
mitted him to the county Jail in lieu
of an absence of $300 bill bonds.
The piisoner claimed he was from
Shamokln, said he was twenty-threo
venrs ot age, and was a tramp, hut It
Is suspected that he Is from this vicin
ity and wished to hide his Identity. He
was cscoited to the county Jail in
Scranton by Chief of Police McAndrevv
later In the day.

A PEST OP TRAMPS.
The "Wandering Wlllles" Seem to
Like This City.
Carbondalo seems to have more than
its share of the genus hobo Just at
present. Tor sonio reason the usual
spilng Hlght of these gentry northward
has begun curlier than Is customniy,
nnd a largo number of them seem to
have stuck a pin Into the black circle
reptesentlng Carbondale on the maps
and included it In their ltluciary.
Pedestrians have been pestered by the
requests, moro or less gentle, of a
nickel or a dime to be used for the I
purposo of slaking the Vesuvius that I
seems to be always raging Inwurdly In
tho beggars. Some of tho housekeep-I
is In vntlous parts of the city have
been annoyed and In some enscs fright- I
ened by the tramps appearing and ask-
Ing, or demanding, food, clothing or
footwear. Several petty thefts have
been reported, but in most Instances
they ure so small that the victims do
not caic to take the tioublo to lay com
plaints befoie the authorities.
If all tho hoboes who Infest this city
weie dealt with as they are In some
towns In New Jeisey it would not bo
long before they would become a scarce
aitlcle. There they aie arrested on
sight, committed for a day, and In that
time are made to sawwood, clean snow
off the stieets (an excellent thing this
would be, Just now), repair streets und
do enough manual labor to leave a
painful and undying icmcmurance or
me town, ai me emi oi nic uy a um
they aro fiee to leave, a pi l liege they
aie not slow to avail themselves or.
Something should cei tnlnly be done to
stop the nuisance. One day recently n
ttamp. hailing from Sweden, was ur
icsted for being diunk, was let go the
next day, passed the lemalndcr ot it in
begging, at night applied for nnd re
ceived lodging tit the city Jail, and the
next morning lesumed hlsnbject plead
ings, getting enough coin to get glori
ously full befoie night. He probably
has a good opinion of us and will
spiead the news.
ALE NEXT WEEK.
