How a Dayton Policeman lost his
Hair.
From the Gncinnnti Eno,,ro.

FROM Me cincinnati Enquirer.
There is gay policeman .us there-o,
rather he was policeman yesterday-whe
bears the snobbish name of Frank .Jc
Hautgen. There is also butcher in the
town, who has fat and comely wife, upon
whom 10 Hautgen has long since cast a
wistIul eye. Now 10 Hautgen and the
butcher live near by each other, which
made matters critical. Monday evening
the butcher and his brother-in-law stepped
out to neishboring saloon to get "swi
glass lager" and 10 Hautgen at the same
time stepped over to the butchers house to
talk finances with the butchers wife.
Well, when the butcher returned, shortly
afterward, his wife was not to be found
about the house. He therefore extended
his search to the stable, and there he found
her; he also found the festive 10 Hauteen
there. Acting upon the time-honored
principle that it is cowardly to strike
man at disadvantage, the butcher made
grab at the policeman's back hair before
the latter had any idea that bloody
butcher was near. 1t so happens that 10
Hautsen wears his hair a good deal after
the style the ladies do-that ls he wears it
on pivots, and the wig came off in the
wronged husbands hands, To make If
still more plain, we would say that Jo
Hau'gen was "snatched bald-headed"
lhe gay policeman sprans to his feet, and
drawing knife slashed the butcher in the
hand, after which he commenced TO retreat
via the rear fence. But the butcher had
the patrolman's wig and cap as trophies
OF famous victory" and his wife hadn't
anything to say. The wronged husband
afterward preferred charges against 10
Hautgen, and the latter was yesterday
suspended from the force. During market
hours yesterday the butcher put the gay
deceiver's hat and wig on exhibition, and
explained to all his customers how the
thing had happened and what was the mat
ter with Hannah. Moreover, it seems that
the butcher thinks he has had quite enough |
OF that sort Of a wife, and has already sued
for divorce.

A singular Railroad Circumstanee.

| OAO8Ws0S 0uAAFV0V SATCWIMpsooces
Some few days ago an aged man named
Lightfoot, and his wife, both beyond their
three score and ten, and residents of the
vicinity Of Darby, Delaware county, mar
rowly escaped being ran over by the
through line on the West Chester & Phila-
delphia Railroad, which leaves here at 7.30
o'clock A. NJ. These two old people were
jogging along on the track little distance
below Darby Station, and coming westward
and as the train bore dswn upon them the
engineer, Smith Lawrence, blew the whis-
tie long and loud supposing Of course the
two pedestrians would then see their situa-
tion and step aside until the train passed
by. But not 50 with the ancient couple
Instead of their giving the right of way to
the snorting, putting iron horse they rs-
mained in the middle of the track and
when the train reached point within $50
yards of the old folks, the man threw up
his hand to the engi neer,the patent brakes
were applied and when the train stopped,
the engine was within distance of eight
feet Of the persistant track walkers, who
yet held de6antly their position. Upon tide
engineer asking the old man as whether he
had not seen the engine, he replied, Eyes,
and didn't you see me waving my hand.
l wanted to reach the crossing little dis
tance above, and l only had 20 feet to get
there and if you'd only have Stacked lit
tie we'd have made it nicely" The old
lady said she was "awfully Altered lest
they might get hurt" bu, the old man re-
piled, "Bosh, didn't l signal the engineer"
After some heated remarks from the train
hands at having been thus detained the
train was started again, and all on board
agreed it was about the coolest thing in
railroading they had ever experienced
Had not the engineer pravidently saw the
old couple When he did, they would have
been killed-and then-what then?

WHAT is this mystery between Spain
and the United States? There must be
something important going on, Or Spain
would not be getting her gunboats in shape
, and ordering them to that coast. The
authorities at Washington are as silent
upon the subject as the President usually
is in his speeches, while the Castilian blood
is boiling and the papers are talking of
teaching the people'of the new world what
it is to attack THE Traditional honor of
SPAN and fighting to the last ditch.'
