Ut on making inquiries, this was found to
L ,,ntre. and was told by rvretz to misicaa
.. . Kretz was
'i:lW two or three hours, and was
Lions to get away, stating to a friend that
he was afraid he was to De loctea up as a
Th detectives did not think that
Kretz knew anything about the murder,

till
found who Kiid he snw a man answering
the description ot Kretz uown near uc uwk
Saturday morning, and was quite possi
tivc ilK Ut his identity. It was then sup
,,eJ that if Kretz was not the guilty man
le knew something about the murder, and
the detectives went to his house, at 98
Ni-rth Third street, and arrested him. On
way t- the station house he purposely
v,it his hand. It bled freely, and lie kept
rubbin-' it 'ii his pants. When this was
..Uervcd an examination of his clothing
-is made, which revealed a large spot of
,uied blind on the pants. The detectives
then visited his house again and found a
jrunk locked and nailed together so tightly
that it wns opened with great difficulty.
In this they (Lund packed the arms and
,-.:s i,f the'munk-red ictim, and in a boiler
thev f.-und the trunk of the body, skinned
jnd'eut up. The entrails had Wen re
moved and quicklime put inside so ;;s to
onisc its speedy decomposition. There I ad
been a of blood on the floor, but efforts
Lnd been nude to obliterate it by scraping
until the boards were almost white. Upon
the dress of Mrs. Kretz, which had just
been washed, were stains of blood, She
md she scraped the floor at the request of
ier husband ; that billions cahed at the
house on Thursday night and they all had
inr;k together. Simmons1 drinks being
Liade stronger than tlu'se of the others, and
iY,nTben he was stupefied with liquor
Kretz a -atchtt and chupped his head
ft. t!;e act U-ing witnessed by his little
s:i'-'2uu-zi.ter. .Mr. ivreiz saia mat sue uei-
self was then up stairs. When Kretz heard
the bodv was discovered, he admitted his
L'ui.t and sa:d he had done it because he
dad f.utid the victim in criminal inter-
ei'urse wi:h hi wife but this Mrs. Kretz
di-nits. The murder wa. no doubt com
mitted fr robbery, as Simmons was always
known to have mouev on his person. Ihc
prisoner was also found in possession of
Mmni"ns watch, and the little girl says
h'-r hither took three dollars and some cents
fn.ni the pockets of the murdered man.
-Mr-. Kretz was taken to the station house
and confined in a separate cell. The pris
oner, who says his real name is Kretz, is
in Akttian by birth, and speaks both
French and German. He is about forty
yars of age. stoutly built, five feet six in
ches in height, and has rather a forbidding
aspect.
Chestnut Trees.
Chestnuts sell readily at five dollars per
bushel. Suppose twenty trees to an acre,
atd that lrom these you take half a bushe
of nuts from each tree, this will make fifty
dollars. Who does not see the value and
necessity at this time of our great pecuniary
need, or studiously seizing upon every item
that might be turned to a source of wealth?

The Enemy of the Potato Beetle.
It will be remembered that at the first
approach of this devastator of the potato,
it was stated that an insect eenerally fol-
iowcu on us trail winch destroyed the
larvai of the beetle, and would finally rid
the fields of the pest. We are glad to see
it announced on the authority of Prof.
Uhler, of the Peabody Institute, that this
enemy of the beetle has made its appear
ance in this State this season, and has evi
dently been at work at its vocation, and the
lesser destruction of the potato crop this
year, in comparison with that of the pre
ceding, is attributed to its operations. The
insect is the Lebia grandis (Ilentz), a beetle
with purple wing covers and yellow head
and thorax, which destro-s the larvae

Important to School Directors.
In his report recently submitted to the
legislature, Superintendent lekersham
says that section 6, of the act of April 20,
lb4, applies to school directors, and it is
their duty to comply with its provisions
We quote from the section as follows :
The corporate authorities of every such
municipality or district shall annually, in
the much of January, prepare and publish
in at least two newspapers of said munici
pality or of the county in which the same
is situated, if so many be printed therein,
a statement showing in detail the actual in
debtedness, the amount of the funded debt
thereof, the valuation of taxable property
therein, the assets of the corporation with
the character and nature thereof, and a
neglect or failure so to do shall be a mis
demeanor, punishable by a fiue not exceed
ing one thousand dollars.

Professional Thieves.
There is a bill now before the Senate, in
troduced by Senator Anderson, of Alle
gheny, authorizing the arrest of persons
suspected of being professional thieves.
The bill is a supplement to an exten
sion of the vagrant act, and is designe
to brins: a class within recognizance of the
law who have heretofore managed to avoid
its provisions. There are hundreds who
are well known to the police as professional
thieves, and yet who manage to escape from
arrest as vagrants. They roam over the
country without any visible means of sup
port, never asked alms, nor solicit tempor
ary lodging, for the reason that they are
adrok enough to steal all such aid and ac
commodation. The ordinary vagrant is not
always a thief. He is a loiterer on the high
way lazy and indifferent as to his ways and
means of support. He will beg oftener
than he will steal, and is more a nuisance
than danger. But the professional thief
is a no beggar. He will cunningly ask for
work, to gain access to abodes and busi
ness quarters, purposely to rob them, and
therefore it is only right to authorize the
arrest of all such parties wherever they are
found and known to the police.
What is imperatively wanted in all the
counties of this State is a judiciously or
ganized workhouse system for vagrants,
common beggars, and petty thieves. The
whole State is now infested with hordes of
wandering indigents, vagrants, vagabonds,
and petty thieves, who add to the general
embarrassment, and who are in many cases
a real danger to Jife and property. This
horde must be ted every day. WThat it
cannot beg it will steal, and while commit
ting these depredations more is destroyed
than is devoured or carried off. Every
city, borough and county could so organize
this idleness and vagrancy as to make its
arrest and punishment a benefit to all con
cerned. The streets and roads of the State
could all be improved by the utilized labor
of this class and by a discipline of this kind,
which is not of the character of a degrada
tion or even a punishment, many a good
man on the brink of permanent vagrancy
could be saved. For these reasons Senator
Anderson's bill is worth close consideration.
