Sent to the Reform School.
Last Monday morning'the DAILY GA-
ZETTE representative informed, Chief
Gormley that in his search for news he
had heard it whispered that ,a store on
Belden avenue had been robbed. The
chief immediately investigated, the ru-7
log 8: Horton had been entered and sev-
eral articles stolen, together 'withzabo'nt
$5 in cash. The Chief then set himself
to' work to ,find the guilty parties.
r Learning that three boys of that neigh-
borhood were missing, he last evening,
in company with officers Adams:\and
Morehouse, visited the homes of the
‘boys and succeeded in capturing George
Hands, 15, Isaac Mason, 15, and John
Sullivan, 11, and took them to the lock-
gang.’ ‘This mcir'ning the; boys _were
brought before Judge Austin.
and Sullivan being under age, guard-
ians were appointed by the court. Ma-
son’s father wasin court andstated that
{his boy was now on leave from the Re.
form SchOOl, but that he-could 'donoth4
ing with him and desired his return to
that institution. ' ' '
Hands informed his guardian that his
parents were dead and that he was liv-
ing with his aunt, but rather than live
with her.he-preferred.-to go to the Be-
form school. In his testimony Hands
stated that entrance had been ,macle
over the fan light $1 that behalf 1made’
an entrance before, andgave the names
of other boys living in “that neighbor—p
hood, whom he had seen enter the
store. He stated-that he had eptered
the store alone‘..Siindhy morning, abOut“
2 a. m., leaving Mason and Sullivan
outside to. watch. _He opened the money
drawer and tobk $2. 50 in - pennies,:one
“ten cent and one five cent piece, which
they divided in Carniody’s barn, where.
they spent the night.
Sullivan gave similar testimony, also
names of other boys he had , seen enter:
ing the store on Sunday, in broad day-
light. After hearing the testimony
Judge Austin, on request of their guar4
dians, sentenced the boys to Reform
school until they are twenty-one years
of age. ' i
It is hoped that the police will look
up the other boys implicated by the
prisoners and break up the gang of
hoodlums, who" infest _ Belden avenue.
From allifactsgleaned‘from th‘e“ cul~
prits the Beldenavenue gang have been
having a regular picnic with Kellogg S;

A Timely Warning.
The N orristown,» Pa. , physicians have
sounded a new note of alarm, anent the
black and tan emigrants who have
come to our shores in such hordesfrofn
sunny Italy, to do our digging and
delving. These physicians say that
our emigrant friends bring with them,
among other industrious habits, that-
of “scratching,” and that they have
widely dissemminated in that section of
the Keystone state, a disease akin to
“army itch.” It has assumed thefor-m
of an' epidemic and has been styled
“Italianitch‘.” Along theline of the‘
Pennsylvania Railroad . Company’s»
Trenton branch, it attacked more per--
sons than infany otherlocality. Money
is a frequent 'medlfihrfor the transmits-J

the tug D. M. Key, th, burning boat
was swungclear of others at the dock,
and what would have been a disastrous
conflegration'was averted. A- 'sadinci-
dent of the fireiwas the drowning ’of a
colored boy, who was asleep on the
burning boat. When she was sent
adrift,the boy fled from the flames" as far
as he could go, and when caught jump-
' 'ed overboard, although he could not
swim. A boat was made readyto go to
his rescue, but the ,men in charge be-
came confused and sent the boat out in-
to the stream with no one to guide it.
The less of the Corcoran will be re-
garded as a personal one by hundreds
of thousandsbf citiZens in' all parts of
the countrywho have been carried on
her ,to Mount Vernon.
The steamer was built in 1878 by the
Quintard Iron Works, of New York.
and since that, time until last summer
was commanded by Capt. L. L. Blake,
whose wide acquaintance has made him
a national character. The Corcoran
’had a remarkable record, never having
been in a collision or damaged to the
extent of more than $20 at any time
during its tweIVe years on the Mt. Ver-
non route, and there was not a‘ single
life lost on or from the boat. During
that twelve years it- is estimated that
fully 1,100,000 passengers were carried
up and down the river. Among the
persons carried were dignitaries of all
countries, and a number of Special
trips have been made to take Presidents,
Cabinet officers and others to the tomb
of Washington.
