HUMORS OF THE POLICE.
A Variety of Drunks-Mr. O’Brien’s Drunk
Qn Ginger, Yet He Had a Coed Load In-
Drunk on Two Drinks—Drunk on One
Drink in Ten Minutes—Awfully “Stoopid”
Sergeant Armstrong Asked a Question on
a Delicate Subject—McDermott’s Sympa

Came to Get Their Coffee and Cakes—
Commissioner Smith Does Not Answer
Conundrums—How a House was Suspicious
—Com. Smith Snubs Com. Erhardt. &
THE MAYOR AND MR. ERHARDT.
While the Board is disciplining the men with the
same old severity, the Mayor in his star chamber is
looking for facts to retire the Commissioners on
the “,01d Force/’ as it is called. Mr. Erhardt ap
pears in the privacy of the star chamber, inform
ing his honor of all that he knows about his col
leagues. In the street vernacular, more forcible
than polite, he is •• peaching on his pals.” But
while he is. telling all that he knows of bis asso
ciates, might it not be well io say a word of him
self? Might not the Mayor ask him if he has never
ordered members of the force, captains and detect
ives, to furnish him with proof and evidence in di
vorce suits for himself, a client, or friend in whom
he was interested ? Such work is no part of police
business. The Mayor might also ask Mr. Erhardt,
after he has told all that he knows of his associates,
another question, to the effect that, when things
went smoothly on in .the Board, if he was not pledg
ed to vote for every measure that the mover made,
and that they were pledged to him in the same
way?
If the Mayor would let us hear what Mr. Erhardt
says of his associates, .there can be no objection to
hearing what Mr. Erhardt has to say of himself.
In the meantime, as the.trials show, the force is
in much the same condition as that of the drunken
parish of Dunkeld, where
” They hanged the minister,
Drowned the percenter,
Tore down the steeple,
And fuddled the bell/*
If the Police Department was substituted for
Dunkeld, and the muck, mud, and mush of the city
for the bell, the community would not object to
Commissioner Sid. P. Nichols fuddling it all.
DRUNK NO. ONE—JOHN J. O’BRIEN.
'rtiis is not the beardless statesman, although he
is of the same name. He belongs to the Twentieth
Precinct, but he was arrested in the Twenty-ninth
Precinct, for intoxication.
Captain Washburne—l was not a witness to the
pan's being intoxicated, but he reported previous
to six o’clock. His shiels wa? eent to me. He was
partially stupid. He was U9t in my pre
cinct, the Twenty.-njnth.
Thia was after Uq b 34 heeq by the
court.
x-atrolman Gilgan, who arrested John J. O’Brien,
said:
“ I was on duty at Thirty-fourth street and Broad
way, and I saw this officer in citizen’s dress, at ten
minutes past eleven. I saw that he needed the care
of an officer, and I took him to the station-house. I
did not know he was an officer. The captain told
me to come at half-past two and take him to court.
He could walk, but he wanted help; he attracted the
attention of citizens. On the sidewalk he could get
along, but it takes a sober man sometimes to thread
the cars at Thirty-fourth street and Broadway. At
half-past two they told me he was still drunk. At a
quarter past three he was sober enough to take to
court, where he was discharged. At the station
house I told him, ‘You have got a pretty good load
on/ and he muttered something.”
Capt. Williams—l came in at half past twelve,
and Sergeant Stewart called my attention to a name
on the blotter, and said he was a policeman. I
went to the cell and found him very drunk, and
took the shield from his pocket.
Sergeant Stewart said when Mr. John J. O’Brien
was brought in he treated him as he would another
prisoner. When he came in he looked dull. He
was stupid and dazed.
Doorman Dempsey said he was sent to wake him
up at two o’clock to go to court, but he couldn’t
get him out of his stupor.
For the defense citizen Thomas Carr said he
joined O’Brien on the front platform of a car at
the corner of Thirty-fifth street and Tenth avenue,
and they together smoked cigars. This was half
past ten. He had cramps he said. At Thirty
fifth street and Broadway they got out and had
Jamaica and ginger. He drank the same. He was
surprised at the dose of Jamaica ginger his friend
took, he thought it would burn his stomach up.
Mr. O’Brien said he was played out that day, and
was going over to see the doctor, but stopped on
the way and had three drinks, and the last stupe
fied him.
“How long has this man been with you?” asked
Commissioner Smith.
“Three or four months.”
“What sort of character is he?’ 4
“Careless somewhat.”
DRUNK NO. TWO—McKENNA.
“January 30th,” said the charge, “he was so
much under the influence of liquor as to be unfit
for duty.”
“I submit to that,” said McKenna. “The speci
fication is correct.”
“Have you any explanation to make?”
“The 29th was my day off, and I was at court,
and I had to turn out at six. I had been to the
General Sessions all day. At eleven o’clock I did
not feel well and took two drinks. The want of
rest, fatigue, and having bad nothing to eat, did
it.”
“Didn’t you know that taking a drink on post
was a violation of the rules ?”
“Yes, I know it now,” was the reply.
DRUNK NUMBER THREE—DEFOREST.
“He left his post and came in the house before
be was relieved,” said Sergeant Porcher, of the
Eighteenth Precinct, “ and was unfit for duty. He
came in, and going across the office to the back
room, he staggered. I mentioned the fact to my
partner (Sergeant McCullough). I called him out of

‘was told to come in. I said-, ‘ Who by ?’ He said
be didn’t know. I smelled his breath ■, and it swell
ed of liquor.”
“Did he stagger at all?” asked Commissioner
Smith.
“That is what attracted my attention; and seeing
him come in before being relieved.”
••How did he talk?”
“As thick as an Alderman.”
“ Didn’t I answer roil-call going out to dinner? ”
asked Deforest.
“After a while you sobered up.”
Deforest—l was up all that morning. I had three
little ones sick for the last two weeks, and I went
out on post. I went to the water-closet; I don’t
know how long I stayed there. When I came out I
thought I saw my relief coming down, and I went
in the house, when I saw I was mistaken, and be
came stupid.”
•“ You had been drinking ?’’
•• Once, ten minutes to one. I sent a boy to a
grocery store for it. That is all I took.”
••You knew that was against the regulations ?’•
“Yes, sir.”
WORSE THAN DRUNK—“STOOPID.”
Trainor, of the Twelfth Precinct, was charged
with being absent without leave. Captain Davis
sent Sergeant Armstrong to his house to see why he
did not report himself.
•• What have you to say to that?” asked Commis
sioner Smith.
••I went home, and my wife was taken sick—she
was about to be confined. I had to go for a doctor.
He was not in. The day passed, and I had to go
again, and after that I lay down and fell asleep, and
thought it would be all over before I awoke.”
“ Did the Sergeant see him at bis house ?” asked
the Commissioner.
“ He reported to me that he had seen him,” said
the Captain; “he asked him if he was going to re -
port sick, and he said no; he asked it he was sick
and he said no. That is the report I got. Next day
Trainor came for his pay. He gave no excuse for
his day’s leave of absence.
Sergeant Armstrong said -he went to see Trainor
at bis house. He asked him then what was the
matter. He said he didn’t feel well. He was asked
wby he didn’t report sick. He gave no definite an
swer to that, but said he did not get along well
around there and he might as well chuck up.
“What did you mean by that?” asked Commis
sioner Smith,
“Under the circumstances I thought these,people
were persecuting me.”
“For reporting you with being absent without
leave?”
“No, but they reported mo before this.”
•• How about the wife.”
“ I saw her standing on the stoop talking to two
females,” said Sergeant Armstrong.
• •How is that?” asked Commissioner Smith. “I
thought you said she was confined.”
■“May I ask [the Sergeant a question?” asked
Trainor.
■“Certainly/* said the President.
*• Don't you think Sergeant that sin was in a deli<
cate condition f* asked Traiuor.
Armstrong, who is a bachelor, blns had and hesi
tatad before committing himself.
“Was she in the family way?” said the Presiden
relieving the modest Sergeant.
“I presume she was.”
“Do you know?*’
“Well 'pears to me she might have been, but I*n
no judge of these matters.”
C “Well, I don’t know what you think of this
- case,” said the President, “ but it appears to m
a that you acted very stupidly.
1 AS BLIND AS IF DRUNK.
“What is the charge against McDermott ?” aske<
1 Com. Smith.
- “He entered the liquor saloon No. 41 West Fourtl
. street with a prisoner while on his way with him t<
Court,” said Captain Byrnes. “I asked him wha
took him in there with his prisoner, and he said th
f man was so weak for want of a drink ho took bin
* in to wet his throat. McDermott stood by th<
door, and as soon as ho saw me he came out without
his prisoner. I sent him back for him.”
“This man came into the station lor lodgings the
j night previous,” said McDermott, “ but the ser
( geant locked him up as a prisoner, and turned bin
L over to me. In the morning, going through Fourtl
street, he was in a bad condition, and wanted a nij
awfully bad. I said he could get a drink at the
fountain in the park. He looked wistfully over, anc
, said that is ‘freezed.’ I took pity on the poor old
. man, and let him go in and have a drink, while :
stood by the door.”
“He could have escaped by the rear door wher
you came out on the sidewalk and left him there,’
said the captain.
“Oh, no; he was hardly able to walk, the poor old
man. I had to hold him up going to court.”
A DEFENSE WORSE THAN DRUNKENNESS.
Haavyside, Crowly, Gardner and Kenneally were
found sitting at a table in the coffee and cake saloon
No. 58 Chatham street, all off post, two on each side
of a table, enjoying their warm cakes and coffee,
when Roundsman Crowley entered. As soon as he
saw them he “exited,” and they “exited” after
him. The time was 3:16 in the morning. Heavy
sido’s post was Centre street. He was a block ofl
post. Gardner might go in the place off his post;
he had Chambers street; but in there he was ofl
post. Kenneally had Broadway, from Chambers to
Worth; he was three blocks off post. It was
Crowly’s post, but inside he was off post.
They all stated that they were patroling their posts
when they heard Gardner’s rap. A waiter came to
Gardner and said they expected a row in the place.
The rap was answered, and all four went in the
saloon. It turned out to be two men that wouldn’t
pay for their coffee and cakes. JAs soon as they saw
the four officers they walked up to the cashier and
planked down their ten cents each and walked out.
It was a cold night, and all having entered the
saloon, at the invitation of the clerk, they sat down
to have a bowl of coffee with the accompaniments of
cakes for four, when the roundsman entered.
Here the Commissioner interrupted the spokes,
man for the four Corsicans.
“ Before going on with that story, now tell me,”
said Mr. Smith, “don’t you think that story exces.
sively thin?”
“Thin!” exclaimed Gardner.
“Yes, thin.”
“It’s the hpaest gospel.”
‘‘That may be t?<s; fcyt it is more than any sensi
ble man can be made to believe.”
The four Corsicans all told the same story.
But the Commissioner did not believe the defense.
He adjourned the case till Wednesday next, and or.
dered that the waiter who called the officer, and the
cashier who treated the four Corsicans to coffee and
cakes, should appear as witnesses.
A CONUNDRUM.
Lake, of the Twelfth Precinct, couldn’t be found
for an hour and a half by Roundsman McEnroe.
The roundsman started to find him at 7:45, and
commenced to time him from that time.
“He times me from 7:15, before he had gone over
my post,” said the officer. “ When he had not been
over it, how does he know I was not patroling my
post ?”
Com. Smith said he could not answer that conun
drum.
Lake proved that he was watching some shanties
on a side street, by orders of another roundsman,
when McEnroe might have passed him. He also
proved that ho was seen by citizens patroling when
the roundsman could not find him. And he also
proved that he went into a doctor’s store for a few
minutes to he'p adjust a plaster on another rounds
man’s eye.
NOT MOVED YET.
Landers, of tho Eighteenth Precinct, had been
sick a number of days, and bad been ordered to re
port for duty at Bin the morning. This he did, and
went out to breakfast with the men. It was sup
posed by the captain that he should have had his
breakfast before he came to report. Com. Smith
decided that he had the right to come and report
and go out with the section and have his breakfast.
But the trouble with Landers was that when he got
an inch he took a yard. He took an hour and a half
for breakfast—half an hour beyond time. He said
he went home topack up to move, and was delayed.
The sergeant said he hadn’t moved yet. Landers
said that was so. He did intend to move, but the
weather was so be couldn’t, and he postponed it,
and the family were now living in a heap, waiting
on Providence for fair weather.
MIGHT AS WELL ADMIT THEY ARE BEATS.
Savage, of the Twenty-ninth Precinct, was not on
his relieving point. Roundsman Donovan went
over the post and could not find Gilgan,who should
be found at least on the relieving point. The
roundsman saw neither. From fifteen minutes to
twelve to fifteen minutes to one. midnight, not a
policeman could b 3 found on Twentieth street, from
Fourth to Seventh avenues.
Gilgan admitted he was not relieved on the re
lieving point: Savage said that was so, too, but he
hastened down to No. 40 East Twentieth street, as
he understood there was something wrong there.
It had been a lying-in asylum once, and Mr. Jones,
the baker, residing at No. 47, opposite, told him
that he had seen men go in with valises, and he
never saw them come out. Mr. Jones did not know
whether it was children or burglars’ tools that was
in the valises, but at all events he told him No. 40
was suspicious, and he went down and stowed him
self half an hour under No. 20’s stoop to wate’j.
The roundsman must have passed him when he
was there cooped up.
“What sort of a house is this, Mr. Jones?” asked
Commissioner Smith of the baker.
~ ( - " ♦ '•
* "Well, realty, I don’t know, but I think it a
‘Ouse of ill fame. I never was in it.”
“ Has No. 40 East Twentieth street been reported
at the station-house as a suspicious place?” asked
Commissioner Smith.
“No, sir,” replied* the roundsman.
WHAT PUZZLED PRESIDENT SMITH.
Ata former session Officer Haines was tried for
being in a hallway leaning. He had tho right of
way to go through the avenue to get to his side
streets. Officer Heenan had the avenue for a post,
and stood on it on the sidewalk talking to Haines,
who was in the balk The roundsman made a com
plaint against Haines, but not against Heenan. He
was asked by Com. Erhardt why he did not make a
complaint against Heenan. He said he couldn’t
Heenan was on post and he could not make it foi
conversation, as it was only about a minute. Com
Eohardt ordered a complaint to be made against
both officers, and one also against the roundsman
for not making complaints against both.
Com. Smith heard the case, and remarked, sotl
1 «oce, but loud enough to be heard, that there were
some d—d thick headed men in the department,
who would entertain such a complaint as that.
THE METROPOLITAN HOTELJTRAGEDY.
The complaint against Burns and Ryan, of thi
I Fourteenth Precinct, has at last been reached b;
» the Commissioners. The two officers were chargee
j with cowardice, failing to give proper aid to office
Furness, in the attempt to capture the lunatii
• Palmer. The two men had separate counsel, am
they demanded to be tried separately. This migh
a be well enough before a jury, but before the Boir
. it is entirely useless, as the proceedings are in th
3 form of a court martial, where all parties are heard
1 and the twice telling of the same story very seldoi
makes tho case clearer.
1 The facts adduced before Commissioner Smitl
on Thursday and Friday, were very much the sam

- Three men were sent to arrest an armed lunatic, i
£ his room, who defied capture. They went in cit
y zens’ clothes, without a head to arrange forth
r capture; two of the men went into an adjoinin
room and noisily lifted a window, to get a peep i
r him. Just then Palmer stepped out of his roon
e and Furness, the first man in front of him, receive
d the fatal shot. He fired again on Ryan, who ha
- slipped, and fallen on the shot man, and Palrm
II hurried down stairs. After Palmer left Ryan, wei
down stairs and missed him, and came up agaii
- Burns, when he saw the firing at short range, jum
ed back in the room to draw his pistol from h
le pocket, and when he came out in seven or eigl
seconds, everybody but Furness, the man shot, h:
it disappeared. He went into Palmer’s room; he w;
not there; he supposed be had gone back; he th(
went to the second floor, and was told that Palm
had not come down. He then went up to the thii
floor, and Ryan came up after him, and they lookt

Charged With a Fiendish Plot.
th
t 0 BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
His girl was at his home on Richmond street on
30 Friday evening on a visit to the family, and Henry
m sat beside her on the sofa, looking out upon the
10 stars that came twinkling into the twilight sky. He
murmured some sweet lines from Tennyson, and as
her head drooped lovingly upon his shoulder he
10 swore that she was his first and only love. Just
f " then there was a ring at the door-bell, and a boy de
m livered to Henry a large package neatly done up in
'h heavy paper. He took it into the parlor and re
lP moved the wrapper. There was a very elegant
10 paper-box, nearly two feet in length, the corners ar
tistically and prettily extended in fancy filagree
work, so that the thing resembled a pillow. Under
the lid in an exquisite little nest of paper lace was a
scented note. Henry lighted the gas and read:
:n “Dearest Henry: I know it is rather late to send
” valentines, but they say the time is not out till the
Ist of March. I could not send mine sooner, be
. c mse I did not hav& it till Monday; and, poor little
a thing, the weather was too awful bad to send it out;
but it is better late than never. I love you more
than ever, whether you care for me or not.
“Yours always, Lottie.”
0 “Didn’t have it till Monday,” exclaimed Henry’s
n girl, grasping him by the arm and giving him a be
-0 wildered look. Henry gently removed the paper
'• lace and underneath appeared a sleeping cherub,
e four days old. She rose with flashing eyes and a
r ghastly white face, and exclaimed:
“Henry, you didn’t do it, did you ?”
K He denied at first, but he had to come to the
• scratch and confess that he had gone a Maying with
ft a pretty brunette who had worked in a box factory;
0 that she was remarkably skillful in artistic work,
3 and he had no doubt that she had gotten up the
elaborate box in which to send the cherub to him as
8 a valentine.
0 The girl fell fainting upon the sofa. When she
’• recovered she told Henry that there was a gulf be
e tween them that time could never bridge over. She
seat for a hackman and was taken home. Yester
day morning Henry visited the brunette, and pro
-1 fessed repentance, and during the day the sin of
• the pair who had loved “not wisely but too well,”
0 was condoned by a quiet marriage.
u It is said that the brunette belongs to a highly
I respectable family in Baltimore; that while taking
lessons at a school of design in Philadelphia she
1 • fell into fast ways, and preferred to seek her for
tune in the wide, wide world to returning home.
The young couple have written a joint letter of
J- penitence to Lottie’s parents, begging them to be
allowed to visit them with the cherub as soon as
Lottie is able to bear the journey. Lottie told a
Dispatch reporter, yesterday, that she was confi
dent that her parents wouldjlook over her fault. •
TWENTY {FORGERIES.
A man giving his name as Emery Ellmore, of New
York city, is now in the Essex County Jail, charged
'• with uttering forged checks on about twenty dif-
• ferent parties in Newark. He strongly protests his
e innocence, and will have a hearing next Tuesday
1 afternoon. At the Singer Sewing Machine office,
No. 766 Broad street, Ellmore purchased a machine
and ordered it to be sent to the residence of John
1 H. Barlow, an old and well-known malleable iron
. manfacturer, No. 106 Orange street. In payment
:1 he tendered a check on the North Ward National .
Bank, made payable to the order of John A» Bar
r low, and drawn to the order of Joseph Goetz & Co.,
i grocers, on Broad street. The price of the machine
y was $l3O, and the man received $55 in change. Of
course, Mr. Barlow knew nothing about the ma
. chine, and the cashier at the Singer Machine
Agency found that he had been neatly done out of
3 $55. This swindle was the immediate cause of Ell
more’s arrest. He was fully identified as the per
-3 son who had passed the forged check. Gradually
a it was developed that he was the person who had
3 also bought flour and feed from James Carroll, No.
v 46 Market street, valued at $122 25, giving a check
i_' for $157, made payable to William Scott, of Chatham,
and made by W. H. Rutan & Co. For this Ellmore
rt'caived $34 75 in change. He passed a forged
a check for s2l on Francis J. Kieb, of No. 74
_ < Elm street, for $2 worth of flour, receiving
j i sl9 in change. A check for $23 was of
u iered to Gaven Spence, a Broad street jeweler,
s 1 in payment for a clock worth $5, but Mr. Spence
suspected something crooked and refused to take
the check. Mr. Spence thinks Ellmore is the man
who offered the check. Fred. Engleke, a grocer in
t Mulberry street, positively identifies Ellmore as
f the person who swindled him out of a ham worth
d $2, and sl9 in money, through a forged check.
Charles Gates and his son identify Ellmore as the
g person who got from Mr. Gates, at his store, No.

On Friday evening at six o’clock, Charles Hoehnle,
aged twenty-two, residing with his parents at No.

’ the cause of his mad act. With Mary young Hoehnle

d SWILL MILK.
Upward of four thousand bushels of “Corn
Sugar Feed” have been sold at the Erie Railroad
depot in Newark, within a few days, to milkmen,
r at the rate of twelve and a half cents per bushel,
f This substance is sour, and when fed to cows pro
e duces lactic acid in the milk, and is the prolific
t, cause of cholera infantum, diarrhea and other dis-
s, cases of the bowels that sweep off so many children
- in cities. “ Corn Sugar Feed” is the corn used by
[e brewers in the West for the manufacture of grape
a sugar. The grain, under jets of steam, is ground
t. between rollers and the sugar extracted. The wet
)r refuse is packed in close cars, and through fer
a. mentation contains a large quantity of acid. Cows
st fed upon it increase their milk, which, beside be
Q ing charged with acid, loses the nourishing quail-
ties that pure milk always hag.
to CHARGED WITH A FIENDISH PLOT,
re Last Easter Monday Lena Kohl, a beautiful Ger
t, man girl, then a little past fifteen years of age,
made the acquaintance of Matthias Armbruster, a
wealthy young milkman, living in South Orange
ie township. Lena lived with her mother and step
jy father, John Kohl, in an isolated dwelling on Mont
sd gomery avenue, near the South Orango line. Lena
er swears that Matthias told her a tale of love, and
ic that, as a result of her yielding to his persuasions,
id she found herself likely to become a mother ere
ht she should be a wife. Matthias was forced, by or
rd der of the court, to give bonds for the support of
tie the babe yet unborn, when it should arrive in this
d wicked world, and he was also proceeded against in
»m a civil suit for seduction. These things annoyed
Matthias Armbruster and his brother Gregory.
th. On Tuesday morning, about one o’clock, Lena,
ne who lay awake with a violent toothache, smelled
st. smoke. Rising from her bed she saw a bright
in light and found that the house was on fire on the
ti- outside. Tho family were roused and the flames
he extinguished, with the aid of the neighbors.
ng It was then discovered that the place bad beer
at set on fire by a large bundle of paper and rags
m, saturated with kerosene oil and placed on ths
■ed porch and ignited. Chief Engineer Benedict, of ths
ad Fire Department, took the case in hand, and tracks
ter in the snow were found leading from Kohl’s hous<
mt to that of the Armbruster brothers. The boots o
in. Gregory Armbruster, it is said, fitted closely int(
ip- the tracks.
his Annie Dennin, a young friend of Lena’s, says tha
;ht on Sunday night she met Gregory, when he told he:
lad that he was tired of the Kohl trouble, and was “go
yas ing to put a stop to it soon. Old Kohl expected t<
len get $5,000 out of Matthias, but he wouldn’t get;
let cent; he would put a stop to it, and would fix th
ird whole lot of them.”
ted The papers which were found half burned oi
the Kohl’s stoop and saturated with kerostme oil, wer
the found to have on them the names of the Armbruste
brothers. A milk bill of one of Gregory’s customer
mt was also found. There is said to be other evidenc

’ A GERMAN SCHOOL RING.
BUT ONE WHICH CAME IN FOR
ITS JUST PUNISHMENT.
S A most curious trial has lately ended at Hagen.
_ If for nothing else it is interesting as illustrating
that New York is not the only place in the world
glorying in a school ring. The advantage thus far
is, however, in favor of Germany. There, as will
be seen, the ring was punished.
1 It seems that at the end of last year’s school
7 term a wealthy resident of Hagen paid the chief
° teacher of that division ©f the public school in
which his son was a pupil, a handsome price to se-
3 cure perfect examination papers for his boy. This
fact came into possession of the editor of the local
paper, and he very naturally published it, with
some severe comments. These comments attracted
1 the attention of the Superintendent of Public
Schools, and he instituted an investigation.
Of course the old cry, “It wasn’t me !” ran from
mouth to mouth. The accused teachers were wil-
3 ling to swear innocence on all the Bibles the mis
r sionary society could provide. So the superintend-
4 ent sued the wicked editor for libelling his virtu
ous teachers.
1 But alas 1 vice triumphed. The maiignant editor
. proved conclusively that the sum of 1000 marks had
; been paid and divided among five teachers, at the
head of whom was the principal of the school him
self. He proved furthermore that some 7,000 marks
more had been paid by various other parents for a
s like purpose and similarly divided. He proved
also, singular as it may seem, that the indignant
• superintendent himself had added 'largely to his
, bank account about the same time. Iu short, all
hands were tarred with the same brush.
The wicked editor therefore was permitted to go
free, while a suit was begun against his late com
plainants. They were sentenced to dismissal from
i their service, to fines of 150 marks apiece, to con
; fiscation of the unlucky gifts and payment of costs.
from
THE UPPER CUT.
THAT’S THE WAY TO LAY OUT SCIENTIFIC
PUGILISTS.
(From the Virginia, Nev., Enterprise.)
Sam Davis, of the Evening Chronicle, is taking
boxing lessons and is getting up a big muscle and
reputation as a hard hitter. Steve Gillis, tele
graphic editor of the Enterprise, though a light
weight, is a heavy hitter. Sam’s ambition has long
been to so train himself as to be able to get away
with Steve. A morning or two since we met Sam,
who was looking very fierce and showing all the
swagger of an established desperado.
His first words were: “I want to see Gillis.”
“Anything particular ?” asked we.
“Well, there’s bad news for him; that’s all.”
“ What! Any of his folks dead ?”
“O, no; I believe not, but if he’s in any way re
' lated to Bob Slade some of ’em’s pretty sick this
morning.”
“You will be good enough to explain.”
“ Certainly. See this!” and Sam clenched and
held out what he calls his •« right mauley.” “ Now,
watch this motion—the upper cut!”—and suiting
the action to the word he spun around on his heel,
at the same time striking a fearful blow, which
took a passing Chinaman in the “breadbasket”
and landed him across the upper story of an apple
stand. -
Paying no attention to the gasping Chinaman or
to the swearing of the keeper of the stand, Sam
said :
“That’s one of ’em. That’s what fetches ’em!
The first time I tried it on Bcb, down at the gym
nasium last night, I took him under the left jaw
and spun him round like a top. He spat out a
double tooth. I was sorry, but he picked up the
tooth, put it in his vest pocket, and came at me red
hot. I gathered myself and gave him the upper cut
with the left, taking him a lifter under the right
jaw that made him groggy. He spat out two more
back teeth, but pocketed them and came at me like
a tiger. I got back, for I didn’t want to hurt him
just because he was fool enough to get mad, aud 1
said, says I: ‘What is the matter with your d—l
teeth?’ Says he: ‘Never mind my teeth; I was
badly salivated once—that’s all.’ With that be let
drive at me, and I bad to defend myself. He m id?
it so hot for me that I had to resort to the upper
cut again. I didn’t mean to do it, but I took him
squarely under the point of the chin—i lifter! —
and d—n me if a perfect shower of teeth didn’t fly
out of his mouth and hail down on the floor in all
directions. There must have been two dozen
double teeth, single teeth, wisdom teeth, teeth with
gold in ’em, and all manner of teeth. He went to
picking ’em up and tried to get me to stay and give
him a chance to get even, but I got out of there, I
didn’t want to knock the d—d fellow to pieces. I
believe another upper cut would have knocked out
his whole jaw-bone.
“The only wonder is that you didn’t kill him.
Sam.”
“It is a d —d wonder! How he stood it with his
teeth knocked out so is more than I can see—l
don’t believe he has three teeth left in his d—d
head,” and away Sam went to hunt up Gillis, in
order to take him down to the gymnasium and in
troduce him to the “ upper cut.”
Half an hour later we met Bob Slade, who began
to tell about the big fun he had with Sam Davis the
night before. Said he:
“You see I put up a little job on Sam, just to en
courage him a little in his new hobby. I room next
to a dentist shop, so I went in there and borrowed
a handful of artificial and ”
“You need not proceed,” said we, “Sam has told
what followed.”
; “Funny, wasn’t it?°
“ Yes, and Sam is now id search of Gillis, con
sent that his ‘uppei CUV will whip all the science
in the country.”
“No ?”
“ Yes !’•
A Boiling Spring.
! k 'Very strange story from California.
' A correspondent of the Visalia (Cal.) Delta fur
nishes this queer paragraph:
A boiling spring has been discovered between the
Polvadero and Los Gatos Creeks. An ingenious
individual has applied for the water right,
i and has constructed a clothes wringer to be run by
■ a water wheel at one side of the spring, where it
, boils over into another of clear cold water, in which
the proprietor has placed a sack of indigo. The
ranchers of the settlement r esort to the spring to
’ do their washing. The clothes are thrown into the
water, which has a whirling motion, and are drawn
1 in out of sight. In about five minutes they come
to the surface, float to the wringer, and are run
- through into the other spring, where they are
1 rinsed by passing through another wringer. In
fc less than thirty minutes the washing is done, and
■ the rancher is on his way home rejoicing. His
5 happy wife meets him at the door, hangs the clothes
out to dry (which takes but a short time), and the
- washing is done. A scientific gentleman intends
visiting the spring soon, to ascertain concerning
the reports, and if true the ladies of our party in-
- tend to make their permanent home there, where
• will be no more sore knuckles or tired hands.
o Nerve Inquietude and its Remedy.
" Restless nerves, at least those that are constantly
• so, are weak owes as wei'. The true way to tran
a quilize them thoroughly is to strengthen them. It
may be, nay, it very often is necessary to have re-
’’ course to a sedative or even an opiate, in danger
-0 ous cases of nervous inquietude, but the continued
■" use of such unnatural palliatives, is greatly to be
deprecated. Though not, in a restricted sense, a
8 specific for nervousness, Hostetter’s Stomach Bit
-1 ters is eminently calculated to allay aud eventually
d overcome it, a fact which the recorded experience
of many goes to substantiate. This inestimable
x ’ tonic, by promoting digestion, assimilation and
d secretion, touches the three key notes upon which
the harmony offall the bodily organs depends, aud
,e the result is that fresh stores of vitality are diffused
58 through the system, of which the nerves receive
their dua apportionment, and grow tranquil as they
lQ gather strength.

ie Cause of a Funeral,
ie
- s JOHN CHINAMAN AS A ROMEO.
se There was a big Chinese funeral in Carson, (Nev.),
of on Monday, and the Appeal pathetically tells why,
to as follows: It appears that a gay Chinese Lothario
came to Carson late Saturday night, with the view
at to enticing a fair but frail maiden, of the same na
er tionality, of course, to forsake the roof and pro
o- tection of her unnatural keepers. The fair maiden
to was willing; but there was an obstacle to be over
; a come, and that was lo elude the argus-eyed vigi
tie lance of the old crone in whose safe keeping she
had been placed by her speculative countrymen.
in The Virginia Chin man was so deeply enamored
re that he ventured to place even his life in jeopardy
er to secure his love. So, at an early hour on Sunday
rs evening he essayed to an entrance to the
ce abode of his charming Oriental Juliet. The prem
ie- ises were guarded by several “thugs,” who, when
>OO they espied the infatuated swain, fired at him with
of a fatal result The foregoing has been related to
sh us by an intelligent aud, we believe, truthful China
■er man who had a hatchet iu his hand during the re
fill cital of this melancholy romance in real life.
Big Feet.
THE POPULAR ARTICLE IN ELKO, NEVADA.
The Winnemucca Silver State tells this tough on<
on Elko: A colored youth from Elko, Thomas
Saunders by name, put in an appearance here yes -
terday. His feet attracted considerable attention,
and four or five* of the boys gave him four bits
apiece for the privilege of permitting that talented
young artist, Fred. • Plane, to draw a life-sized dia
gram of them. The right foot was found to meas
ure fourteen inches in length, five and a half inches
in width across the ball of the foot, and four and a
half inches across the heel. The left foot is about
an eighth of an inch shorter than the right, but ex
actly the same width. Mr. Saunders thought it
very strange that his feet were considered unusu?
ally large, as they were scarcely up to the average
standard of the fashionable Elko belles.
