Two Months in Jail for Pulling a Man's
Nose.
Judge Scudder, in the Superior Crimi
nal Court, on the 21st, rendered his de
cision in the matter of the Common
wealth against Daniel S. Curtis, Who was
accused of assault and battery against J.
31. Churchill, and had appealed from the
A lower Court. Judge Scudder remarked
that the position of the defendant at the
bar, together with all the surrounding
leai r n c t uill the s t a
Courtlcesof
to
he facts before imposing sentence. The
vidence in the case was then recapitula
the case, ti em steoemeoendeitodewraaril
d, and the social standing of both the
complainant and defendant briefly con
sidered,' The law points involved in the
case were then eliminated. The Court'
observed that the matter of private in
jury belonged to another tribunal, but in
this matter it was the Commonwealth that
was concerned, and the penalty, in the
, ,-04 case, so far as possible, should be'in pro
; portion to the offence committed. The
defendant pleaded nolo contendere, but
that act of retraction did not justify or
lessen the nature of the crime committed.
The object of Punishment is for
the prevention of crime. The manner
of punishment , was /stated, and all of
which were embodied in a sentence in a
spirit of exact juetice. No person should
be punished to excess for the benefit of
others, yet that punishment should be in
proportion to the offence committed and
the character of the defendant carefully
considered/at the same time. Different
modes of;punishment have different ef
fects on different Individuals. What
would 'be a punishment to one person
might not be to another. A short term
of imprisonment might prove more of a
pimishment to one man than a long term
would to another man; and a small fine
might be heavy to one individual, and a
'•• large fine no punishment to another indi
vidual. The Court then alluded to the
position assumed, and still assumed by
the defendant, in making the assault to
defend his honor, which he believed had
been insulted.
That, however, had nothing to do with
. A . , the Court, and it was but proper for it to
•'---:!, discuss it, for if the assault was justifiable
• defendant might assume to have a right to
repeat the assault. ' The law has only to
deal with the individual. And social po
sition and intelligence should be no ex
cure for the acts of the defendant. On
the contrary, they only' aggravate the I
matter. In conclusion, the Courtisaid it
was at a loss to find any excuse, justifies.

The colliery Accident in Saxony.
The North German Correspondent pub
lishes the following report of this
.disas
ter, of which we heard by telegraph
lately: We regret to ha'-e to report one
of the most terrible and melancholy acci
dents that has happenet Germany for
many years. The colli rs of the Barg
colliery in the Plauenschen Grund, near
Dresden, assembled, as uspal, for prayers
on the morning of the 2nd of August,
and afterwards dispersed to their work.
In a short time a terrible explosion oc
curred. At' about a quarter to six o'clock
a thick column of smoke was seen to '
issue from the mouth of the Segen Gottes
shaft. This was followed in ten minuies'
space by a similar one from the Hoff
nungs shaft. Numbers of wo.rkmen, to
' gether with the wives and families of
those that were below, assembled around
the various entrances to the mine, but the
smoke and vapors frustrated all attempts
to enter for some hours. After nine
o'clock it was at last found possible to
descend. Three dead bodies were lying
near the mouth of the pit, 'and their con
dition, as well as the Butt of the cars,
which' were broken into mere heap
of fragments, bore witness to the
force of the explosion. This renders
it highly Improbable that any of the
326 men 'who were engaged in the
two shafts shoulttill survilve, with the
n .
exceptioof two r three who were close
to the mouth off the pit. Their death
must have been instantaneous, and many
of the bodies are so, disfigured that they
cannot be recognized. are much
charred and burned. ft is calculated that
at least 321 colliers perished, two-thirds
of whom had families dependent upon
them. No blame is attributed to the ar
rangements in the' mine, but it is sup
posed that the heat of the i - eather, pre
vented the foul air escaping by its usual
channels, and that it therefOre
_collected
in the passages no longer used, and was
ignited by the carelessness of one of the
unfortunate colliers. The warmth and
sultriness of the external air may alio
nave prevented i r he workmen from no
ticing the oppressive character of the at
mosphere In the shafts. But few bodies
have yet been recovered, as the ventila
tion of the mine has not yetbeen restored,
and, since competent authorities declare
it to be utterly impossible dud any of the
unfortunate sufferers should have sur
vived' the' shock and the foul air, it is con.
sidered wise not to risk any more lives.
PATarcx Pcracias, was seated on the
track of the Monnt Carbon Railroad,
overlooking the turbid waters of the Mis
.sissii)pi. He had lbeen seated there but a
few moments when
• along came Mathias
Schaefer, a German resident of the place,
who accosted Pat in this wise: "Mr. Par
•cell, I've a notion to drown myself!"
"Well, if you want to drown yourself,"
•coolly. replied Pat, "why don 3 you go
along and do it ?" "If you don't come,"
rejoined Schaefer, "I'll do 3 sure—you'd
better come"— ; saying which he proceeded
to the edge of the water. "Go on with'
the show," was the answer, "it's none of
my funeral." "Come quick, if you are
-coming. I tell you agaiii, you'd better
•come, was Schaefer's final appeal, to the
imperturable Pat, who maintained his
seat on the railroad track. "Proceed
with your exhibition," came from Pat
agatn, whereupon the determined Schaefer
waned out into the stream, sat down, and
actually drowned himself. Pat , mention
-ed the circumstance to a passer-by a few
momenta atter, and when reproved for
not rushitig in and rescuing the foolish
man, retorted with some spirit, that if he
- wanted -to drown himself it would go
.pretty hard with the man that might at
tearto, interfere with his arrangements.

_ SNEAX THIET4
Tife following discription of various
kinds of sneak thieves is from an article
on "Our Criminal Population" in the
Galaxy for September. The article is
from the pen -of Mr. Edward Crapsey,
who has made some reputation by similar
sketches in our magazines before. He is
well known as an industrious reporter of
police matters, and probably no one in
the country better understands the subject
-than does he':
Damper sneaks are a little company not
more than one hundred in number. By
"damper," a thief means a sate, for the
reason that it is supposed to put a damper
upon his hopes. Hundreds of business
men in New York can tell from costly
experience how damper sneaks operate.:
A man of intense respectability of dress
and demeanor, enters a broker's office,
and asks to look at the directory, or some
times to write a note. Permission being
given him, he takes care to put himself
inside the railing and as near the safe as
possible. If its door is ajar, he stands
examining the directory, or writing for a
moment or two, when two of his con
federates enter, and the broker is
immediately engrossed by the press
ing needs of his new customers.
While he is thus engaged, the
first sneak, seeing his opportunity, and
whatever valuable he can lay his hands
upon passes out of the office, always
pausing as he goes to thank the broker
for his courtesy. Presently the confed
erates leave, to make further inquires
before. concluding a bargain, and it is
always some moments, and often hours,
before the broker discovers his loss.
Robberies of this kind are , constantly
being perpetrated, and the damper -sneaks
probably have a mote certain and-a larger
income than any other class of thieves.
Bank -sneaks steal far greater amounts at
a time; but their thefts are 'less frequent
because their opportunities are more rare.
Tin boxes, containing large amounts in
bonds, are not habitually left exposed to
the grasp of the bank sneaks, who have
been following them for hours, perhaps,
and from place to place, but the damper
sneaks can safely count upon a careless
ness
of the business community which it '
seems impossible to cure. - Sate doors are
left open during business hours, and
while bankers persist in leaving their
valuables thus exposed to the enterprise
of a most adroit and active class of
rogues, they yet join in the hue and cry
against the police when a robbery is com
nutted which their imprudence alone has
rendered possible.
Safe blowers do not have more than
seventy-five - names upon their muster
rolls, but the little array is far more dan
gerous to the hoarded wealth than its
numbers indicate. Commonly known as
burglars, their skill is first called on to
gain entrance to a building, which is gen
erally accomplished by means of false
keys made from impressions in wax, pre
viously taken from the genuine keys.
The "blowers," being in - the building,'
proceed with a rapidity and an attention
to detail made possible by long experi
ence. First, they lower the windows of
the room about an inch to 'prevent the
breakage of glass, and ~text they wrap
the safe in wet blankets to deaden the
noise of the expected concussion. The
preliminaries thus arranged, they drill
holes in 'the door of the safe near the
lock, and these having been filled- with
powder, a fuse is attached; the explosion
takes place, the safe is torn open, and
three minutes suffice for the operators to
seize its contents and escape from the
building. This is the most hazardous of
all robberies, and is never resorted to
unless the outlaws are sure that the con
tents of the safe are sufficiently valuable
to compensate for the risk incurred.
Hence, it is always prefaced by a careful,
and often protracted, scenting of the se
lected premises, with the design of ob
taining exact information of the profits
to be expected of the contemplated ad
venture.
Second-story sneaks are not more than
one' hundred in number, and owe their
name to a recently devised expedient for
reaching the coveted valuables of honesty.
Formerly they worked * what was called
the "eatable lay," and for a time a quite
profitable "lay" it was. Generally work
ing in couples, they chose for their opera
tions the hour when the dinner table was
spread, and sauntering through some
quiet, respectable street, selected a house
where the basement door was ajar. One
posting himser there, the other ascended
the stoop and rang the front door bell.
Up went the servant, and while the ring
er detained her with persistent inquiries
for some mythical Jones or Smith, assert
ed to reside in the neighborhood, his con
federate below walked into the deserted
dining room, and walked out again with
the spoons and silverware concealed un
der his coat. But the metropolis has so
advanced, and the basement floors of
houses having silver are now so infested
with servants, that the "eataWe lay" has
fallen into desuetude, and second story
sneaks have arisen. They can only work
in secluded streets; and during the sea
son when the dinner hour of six o'clock is
after dark. While the inmates of the house
are all down stairs at dinner, the sneak
boldly scales oie of the pillars of the
stoop, and thus reached- a second floor
window, which he opens with an admire
ble little apparatus specially prepared for
the purpose. Once within the house, he
has usually an easy task before him, for
he finds the doors unlocked, and roams
unimpeded through all the upper 'rooms,
rummaging all the closets and bureaus,
and siezing whatever he can find. Hav
ing gathered all that is portable and val
uable, he goes down the pillar again, or
sneaks downstairs and makes his exit by
the front door ' to rejoin his "pal," who
has meantime been engaged in an opera
tion which he styles "piping off thecop,"
by Which he means that he' has been .
watching the movements 'of 'the police
man, in order to intercept him with some.
plausible device if he should give. signs
of approaching the house while the sneak
is working it. This sort of robbery- has
lately become quite common, and the dia
mond thefts in dwellings, which• seemed
so inexplicable, were all done 'by' these
sneaks.
-----
STRAW HOUSES.—An Englishman has
lately patented the following process for
preparing houses out of straw. The
straw is first cut up into pieces, and after
Soaking for a time in a saturated solution
of soluble glue, is dried; and then, by
ineans of a machine, pressed into com
pact bundles or bricks, which are cora
pletely Incombustible. The 'house is
built up of these masses of straw, as if
really of bricks, the successive layers be
ing united by cement or mortar. As an
excellent nonconductor of heat, these
houses are warm in winter, cool in sum
mery and always dry, and can be erected
at little cost.

To these three Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
