THE CASE IS A SAD ONE Representing himself as an lnsur ance agent and as a collector for the Scranton Sanitary company, Charles A. Canavan of one hundred and thirty six South Seventh street, who has been operating a clever graft and sneak thief game In this oity, was yes terday arraigned before Magistrate Howe In police court to face four charges of larceny, false representation and false pretenses.

The magistrate held him in three hundred dollars ball on each charge, aggregating a total demand in bondage of twelve hundred dollars which Canavan could not furnish, and he was therefore committed to the county Jail in default. In the arrest of the young man the police believe that they have made an important move. It is charged that people throughout the city have been relieved of considerable money through this clever game. Canavan's mode of operation as made known bv the charges, was unlaue and effective. When he repre nented himself as aeent for the Scran ton Sanitary company he explained that the company he represented desired to place a garbage can in the yard, and that the privilege would cost Just fifty cents.

This sum he collected in advance, and at the same time went further to make clear that the monthly rent of twenty five cents must also be paid beforehand. That was the game he worked on Mrs. Smith and her neighbor, Mrs, Lamar, of Mvrtle street. Mrs. Smith in her evidence said that the young man emptied her pocket book which she left on the table in or der to get Canavan the drink of water which he requested.

Mrs. Hummler of Penn avenue ap peared against Canavan and said that the prisoner attempted to represent himself as an Insurance agent for the firm of Conrad Son. While waiting for Mrs. Huromler to give her servant some instructions concerning matters purely household, Canavan improved the time by making oil with her hand bag and pocketbook, valued at nine dollars. Wednesday, it is alleged, he entered the home of A.

D. Spencer at four hundred and ten Madison avenue and suc ceeded in appropriating a handbag, the property of Mrs. Kennedy of Dunmore, and containing a pair of eye glasses and six dollars in money. The theft was committed when the servant was making inquiries for the master of the house. Mrs.

Bessie Hanvlck or sixty nine Archbald street had similar charges against Canavan. She alleges that he stole her purse in the same manner as the others. The purse contained five dollars. Canavan is thirty years old and is a man of family. He was arrested yesterday by Captain Williams and he confessed his offenses.

He pleaded guilty to all charges. In default of ball he was sent to the county Jail. He was formerly the proprietor of a West Side meat market. The case is regarded as a particularly sad Canavan is very well connected and his disgrace sadly affects a most deserving His friends believe that he is suffering from insan ity.

LOST BABY CAUSES PANIC ON TRAIN Left Asleep in Station and Parents Distracted When Lees it Discovered. Two excited parents, an unconcerned baby and a railroad train figured in an interesting episode which occurred at Peckvllle early yesterday morning.

When the train pulled out of the station the father and mother of the child leaned back complacently is their seats, but it had no more than hit its gait on the way to Scranton than there was a wild shriek from the mother, who suddenly remembered that the baby had been left behind in the station. The conductor was notified without a moment's delay and implored by the distracted father and mother to bring the train to a standstill. This was done as soon as possible and the father dashed back the intervening distance to the station, where the tot was found rolled up its blanket and asleep. The train hands obligingly awaited his return and when the happy family had again been united the Journey to the city was resumed. The whilom lost child was tendered an ovation by the passengers, who crowded about, but he took his honors modestly and never said a word.

J. Mosier. die wellkaown Lacka wanna conductor residing at nineteen hundred and fourteen Price street, was instantly killed yesterday afternoon at Nay Aug. Between the hours of 4 and o'clock Mr. Moster left the Lackawanna yards in charge of an east bound freight train, when Nay Aug was reached he left the caboose and started over the lurching train to the engine with or ders for the engineer.

In some unae countable manner he. missed his foot lng and fell between the cars. The accident was not seen by the members of the crew, but he was soon missed and the train was quickly stopped. Going back over the track his fellow workmen found his body terribly bruised, showing that, death had been instantaneous. Passenger train No.

5, due here at 6:40, was flagged by the brakeman the body was placed on board and on reaching here was brought to his home on Price street. An examination here disclosed the 'tact that his neck had been broken and his limbs frac tured in several places. In falling he escaped the swiftly moving wheels of the train and his death was caused solely by the violence with which he struck the ground. Mr. Mosier's record with the Lack awanna has been an unusually good one.

Entering the employ of that com pany at an early age he attended as siduously to his duties, with the re suit that about two years ago he was appointed a conductor and" had given excellent satisfaction in that capacity, He was married about fifteen years ago and besides his wife leaves five children. Cusick, undertaker, took charge of his body upon its arrival in this city and the arrangements for the funeral have not as yet been com pleted. SAFETY APPLIANCES PROVE SUCCESSFUL Probability That They Will Adopted by All Railroads Running Through 8cranton. be In local railroad circles the principal topio of discussion during the past few days has been the tests made last Wednesday at West Seneca of the trie Hon draft gear, Improved triple valve automatic air couplers and automatic slack adjusters, all of which are man ufacttired by Westinghouse and calcu lated to reduce railroad wrecks to a minimum. During the early part of the week a special train was run over the Lack awanna railroad to Buffalo carrying representatives of the Lackawanna, the Erie, D.

and other eastern rail roads. On the day following their arrival in Buffalo the railroad officials repaired to the yards of the Lake Shore railroad at West Seneca, where all arrangements had been completed for the tests of the newly patented safety appliances. Two trains, each consisting of fifty gondolas, were used In making' the demonstration and they were drawn by the heavy consolidation type of locomotives used on the Lake Shore. Through the friction draft gear It was shown that the shocks incident upon the operation of heavy trains could be entirely eliminated, the use of the device equalising the shock and there by reducing to a minimum the eu and tear of the rolling stock. This was proven to be true no matter how large me size 01 the train nor how many dif ferent kinds of cars used.

Through the operation or tne triple valve it was demonstrated that a heavy train could be brought to a standstill in forty per cem. less distance man oy the methods now used. By the agency ot this valve the brakes at we end of the train, instead of near the engine, are first applied and It Is believed that this will do away with the "buckling" of trains, which has proved so disastrous of Into. The automatic coupling device was found to be a great improvement over those now In use and will, if adopted, render the work of the trainmen and switchmen much safer. All the officials were enthusiastic over the aur cessful tests and there Is every reason to believe that they will be adopted on the Lackawanna, Erie and D.

A H. in the near future. Among the officials In attendant were M. B. Cutler, general manager of the Lehigh Valley; A.

J. Stone, general superintendent of the D. B. D. Caldwell, vice president of the Lackawanna, and T.

E. Clark superintendent of the Lackawanna. WAS TORN TO PIECES. Joseph Lowsikl Met With III Fats Whils Trying to Examine a Mine. Joseph Lowaski of Moffett Patch.
