Waverly— Yesterday Officer Corcor- an went to New York city and last night he returned from the melropolis with Tom. Alias, “Yellow McCarthy” whom the jocal police have wanted for some time past for steallmg a barrel of whiskey, valued at $65 from an Erie freight car The whiskey was stolen on July 1, 1906, while the freight train was standing just east of Waverly, but it was not until a short time ago that the fact became known. Along the first part of last July the police dis- covered that the accused was peddling out whiskey in coasiderable quaant- ties, and there was a suspicion that he had stolen it A very careful search was made and all the places where it might be concealed were carefuily searched but no whiskey was found. At length it was discov- ered that the accused was frequently visiting the site of the old Hireen piace on Warren street just south of the Lackawanna tracks, and a search revealed the barrel of whiskey hid- den in an old cistern which was part. with old junk. The barrel was carefully coverel with a quantity of sheet tin. All the labels had been removed from the barrel, but the markings in the wood had not been obliterated Considearble of the whis- key had been taken from the barrel. It was taken from the cistern, and brought to the town hall at Waverly where it still remains A search was then started to find where the liquor was stolen No trace of the owner was discovered for a considerable period ct time. bat fin- ally through the identification marks on the barfel and by a search through the governement records it was dis covered that the barrel was shipped over the Erie R R from Cleveland 0 The car in which it was shipped was part of a train that stopped In Waverly on the uight of July first and lay here for a period of 50 min- The seal was broken at that time and the barrel of whiskey was removed The fact that the seal had been broken was not discovered un- til the car reached Jersey City, and then it was thought that the crime was committed at that place and a search had been made in that vicinity but to no effect. It was not until re- cently that the course of the whiskey had been traced, and it was discover- ed that the barrel found in Waverly was the one taken from the car. The police of Jersey=City knew the barrel was gone but could not tell where, and the police of Waverly knew that the barre! had been stolen but could not discover whence il came Once the facts were established a search was made for McCarthy, and he was located In New York city. Of- ficer Corcoran went down, but on ar- rivng there discovered that he had gone to Brooklyn, and after looking around he was captured It was a good plece of work on the part of the police department McCarthy will be given a hearing this afternoon utes GIVEN PERMISSION TO BUILD HEN HOUSE.

PRETTY GIRLS ON THE ROAD SWEET VOICES NIMBLE FEET ShIKIS AKE GRADUALLY GETTING SHORTER. t— Society Women Are Wearing Thelr Skirts From Three to Five Inches. From the Ground. Skirts are gradually getting short- er and shorter, and those who in the early part of the season had their walking sults made the regulation two or two and a half Inches from the ground, have now bad them shortened, and the up-to-date length pow is from 3 to 5 inches from the ground. Some one has given a very plausible reason for this In the fact that society in adopting the roller skating craze has found the longer skirt an inconvenience Mrs George Gould was seen in New York last week wearing a light cloth sult, the skirt of which cleared the ground by five inches The jacket was ver) full, hangiug loose under the arms and was slashed up threé luches on the side seams The fashion also seems to be the outcome of the pres- eit craze for country ilfe all the year round, for women lu the coun- try like to don the shortest kind of skirt and promenade wherever fancy leads them. It is no use (ramping about in a skirt that catches every- thing on the hem, and once gowned comfortably, women have taken to running up to town in the same clothes.

The circular states that it is a common sight to see men in the train service giving attention to which they are assigned, thereby neglecting the most important features of the service—care. The accidents cost the road $249, 265, over four per cent. on a capitalization of $6,000,000. When the cold winds dry and crack the skin get DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. Sold by C. M. Driggs.
