Mu, an Irish National leader, a close
friend of Dr. Cronin who was mur-
dered in Chicago, and high in the
councils of the Clan-n,a-Gael. •
Two years ago Dillon was teller of
the Dime Savings Bank. of Philadel-
phia. It was then that the bank
turned over its accounts to the Union
Surety Guaranty Company, and the
announcement was made to Dillon's
frlemis that he had gone to Europe.
A year later the report was cir-
culated that he had been drowned in
Ireland.
The pleture of Denman lias been
identified as that of Dillon by sever-
al people who claim to have known
the man well.
A man who lived next to him when
he kept a shoe store, another man
familiar with the bank In which Dil-
lon, woe taller, and a third connect-
ed with the Union Surety Guaranty
Company was shown the portrait,
and all declared that Denman was
Dillon, the missing teller.
Prominent in Clan-na-Gael.
Dillon was the joint accuser, with
Dr. Cronin as a juror, of members of
The Trio -mei at the famed Clan-na-
Ga,e1 trial, secret sessions of which
were, held at the Genesee Hotel in
Buffalo in 1888.
Dillon was the representative of the
Clan-na-Gael, who at the time of the
Cronin murder in Chicago, went there
as a member of the Executive, de-
nounced Alexander Sullivan, raised
funds for the prosecution, advocated
the throwing off of the oath of se -
army: so far as noceseary to run diesvn
Cronin's assassins; went on the wit-
uess stand, and, by his testimony,
revealed the secret of "The Trian-
gle," and made publio the charges
against Sullivan and assailed Mc-
Geehan, the Philadelphia. suspect. De-
tective Dan Coughlin, Burke, Beggs
and O'Sullivan were convicted of the
'Cronin murder or complicity therein,
but Alexander Sullivan escaped in-
dictment.
The knowledge was eomewliat of

from the outset that the Clan-na-

prisoner. "In feet," .eelateea Warden
Platt, 'all three of etitea men im-
prisoned for the Morbid dynamit-
ing are well behaved."
An authority of the prison spoke
also of the men. "Tae one of them,
you know, is an expert ma-chinist,"
he saki. "He is working now in our
shops and is making some of those
Sine bars and bolts that you see in
this new wing that we are build-
out or the old wing fat tide celi
dome buildles. He le a line work-
man, steady, industrious and skilled."
hals man Is John Nolan. He was
working at his trade as a machin-
ist before he went to Thorold.
"Another of the dynamiters is doing
ordinary work, unskilled," said a
prison authority, Wil0 had spoken ef
the good. •work being done by Nelin.
This man is John Walsh. He was
employed in the stables of the Dub-
lin Tramway Company before he came
to America the second time, three
years ago. When he went to Thorold
he gave up a job as bartender in
Washington. Part of Walsh's time
he has worked on etone, inside the
walls, and also has done heavy. work
and ordinary laboring, also inside the
rails. While the prison authorities
spealr also in approval of his con-
duct, it seems he is not so favor-
ably regarded as Nolin. Walsh is
positive in his assertion that John
Mama, his fellow bartender in Wash-
ington, who accompanied Iiim from
England and was found dead with a
bullet in his beart shortly before
W'aisit went to Tborold, was a eel-
eida The Dominion authorities famil-
iar with the matter are said to be
of the opinion that Merna, was net
murdered and that Walsh is telling
the truth when he says Marna was
micide. Walsire hope for pardon
is regarded as second to Nolte's.
Became Batik Teller.
Atter th.e Cronin murder the war
between the factions of -the Clan-
na-Gael broke fiercely out, and Dil-
lon, as a leader of the Cronin wing,
took an active part.
Dillon's family, meanwhile, lived
quietly at No. 920 Passyunk avenue,
in Philadelphia, and the shoe store
continued during the owner's comings
and goings. About 1891, or prior
thereto, plans were formulated and
then carried out for the creation of
the Dime Savings Bank of Philadel-
phia. Prominent Philadelphians
became connected with it,
and a•mong timm were friends
of Luke Dillon. Be aban-
dotted the Moe store as a business
and moved from No. 920 Passyunk
avenue, and, in 1892, he was Tagus
laxly settled as teller of the Dime
Savings Bank, and lived with hie
wife and family at No. 1,125 South
Tenth street. There be lived until
1895, when he moved to No. 818
Federal street, where he was living
in 1900, when he vanished, as if
pluteked from the face of the earth.

ordinary dIfferenee which one notices
between man and man on the etreets.

A. Dwindling Intlustre.
The man who bites dogs' tails for
lisingdoettiat advertise his business,
and he fights shy of the agents of
socdeties organized for the preven-
tion of cruelly to animals. In the
large kennels it Is the practice now
to employ a veterinary surgeon to
amputate the doge' tails, bur there
are enough of the old-time breed -
ere still in the busluees to give profi-
table employment to half a -score of
"biters." Tim puppy is banded
over to the "biter' when he is about
a. month old. The "biter" selects
the vertebrae' between which he
inten.ds to force his teeth, and marks
tho place with a piece of twine. The
"dainties" of the profession wrap the
part to be bitten off in muslin, but
most of them simply thrust the tip
of the tail into the mouth and, bite
it off as one would bite a stalk of
asparagus. Commonly the "biter's"
fee) is $1, but where there is a litter
of puppies to be operated on the
usual rate is 50 cents the head -or,
rather, the tail.
" Renovating" electes.
Probably the meanest of all the
queer occupations in this city is
that of the man who "renovates"
higli meats and fishes. It not only
is mean, but it is dangerous to health,
and the business is conducted in viola-
tion of the rules and regulations of
the Board of Health. Sales are made
from wagonts, and at all times the
"renovator" fights shy of food in-
spectors and the police.
The "renovator's" process is a sim-
ple one. In the case of leabl meats
it usually is the surface portions that
are affected. These he pares oft un-
til tlie eretat has the appearanee of

are of the laws of the country. The
roasts mid -other pieces of meat for
which they pay 8 or 10 cants a
pound costs the "reftovator" less
than $1 the 100 pounds.
In the matter of handling fish the
"renovator's" chances for big profits
and quick sales are equally 'geed. He
buys from the 'wholesaler a lot of
tainted fish "for the purpose of mak-
ing oil." Thefah are coated to his
