BERGH AFTER HORSE CLIPPERS. In
New York, the other day, Mr.. Bergh
made little breeze in high life by a raid
on clipped horses belonging to fashion
able owners standing about A. T..
Stewards retail store. Among them was
span belonging to one of the Appletons,
the book publishers, whose driver was
arrested, and, after long examination,
held for trial. Itwas only last Sunday
that out of seventy-eight carriage teams
standing in front of churches examined
by Mr.. Bergh's officers, forty-one had
been clipped, and the blankets provided
by the owners for the animals were found
wrapped around the drivers legs and
feet.

A New Way to Pay Old Debts.

Benson Smith, Chappaqua farmer,
was served with meat by Mr.. John Kipp,
the butcher, until Mr.. Kipp became sat
listed that Mr.. Smith did not intend to
pay him, and Mr.. Kipp's brother, who
drives the meat wagon, became incensed
at Mr.. Smiths failure to settle the bill.
One day last week he met Smith. Young
Kpp was on the wagon delivering meat.
He stopped Smith and asked MIN to pay
up. In the parley The boy lost his tenn
per and said, "If ] was off the wagon
would take it out of you
Mr.. Smith smiled, and invited the boy
to get right down and do it. The ac-
commodating boy jumped down and
sailed in, and after he had finished, Mr..
Smiths countenance was a spectacle to
behold. Young Kipp, unhiirt, drove
away whistling.
Mr.. Smith then went before Justice
st. John and sued out warrant, and
was demanded. The jury having been
completed, Mr.. Kipp's lawyer hrlrriedly
asked Mr.. Kipp whether he had given
Mr.. Smith receipt. "No," he an
swered in establishment. ''Then give
him one. Mr.. Kipp quickly complied,
and Mr.. Smith took it in wonder.
"Now, if your Honor pleases," said
the lawyer, Sc wish to call your atten-
ton to the fact that the assault COM
planned of was the fulfillment of a con-
tract duly made. The consideration was
the amount of the bill, which the boy
was to take in his own way out of
Smith.
The Justice declined to deal with the
knotty point, and turned it over to the
jury, and they lost no time in deciding
that the complainant had no case.

The Fight with the Notorious James
Brothers.

A reporter of the Times had an inter
view to-day with Mrs. Samuels, mother
of the James boys, and obtained full
statement of the tragedy enacted at her
house yesterday morning. She en-
phatically denies that either Jesse or
Frank James or any of their comrades
were at the house on the night of the
tragedy. The grenade-shell which ex-
ploded and killed her little boy, was
seven inches in diameter. The house
was fired in four different places by
means of tubes like Roman candles, filled
with cotton, saturated with turpentine.
All the members of the family agree in
saying that neither of the James boys
was present. On the other hand there
are unmistakable evidences of a severe
fight, the fence being riddled with bull
let's, and the ground covered in places
with blood. 1t is well established that
an extra train went over the Hannibal
and st. Joe railroad, stopping at Kear-
ney, ON the night of the tragedy, and the
train men say that eight men aboard had
two prisoners. 1t was impossible to
ascertain where the train went, but the
supposition was that it had gone to Chi
cago. 1t was said at Kearney to-day that
a wounded man was in the neighbor-
hood, and the Sheriff summoned posse
of twenty for duty tonight, it is sup
posed, to capture him. Every one con-
dennis the barbarous method used by
the detectives, and the belief is gaining
ground that it was desperate and re-
vengeful vendetta of Pinkerton's men for
the murder of one of his detectives LAST
summer.-Konsds City Times, Jan. %.

RAILROAD FRAUDS IN HUNGARY.-An
the railroad frauds in the world are not
perpetrated In the United States, as some
people suppose. The manager of the
Lemberg Czer,lswitz Railway Company
in Hungary has been detected in a Sc
ries of swindles against the company,
amounting to several hundred thousand
dollars A plot has also been detected
on another Hungarian railroad company,
to defraud it by printing and issuing
forged coupons of the preferred bonds.
The plot was adroitly worked, and based
ON the calculation that there are always
coupons which are not presented at the
time they become due.

ONE night recently the gas suddenly
went out in Marseilles and left the whole
city in darkness. At that moment a
gymnast was performing on the flying
trapeze in the theater. He was even in
the air at that very instant, having made
his leap from one trapeze to catch the
other. He caught the other successfully,
but in such nervous condition that he
remained in convulsive or cataleptic
state. He could not relax his grasp to
change his position /; his muscles held
rigidly as steel, and his whole body was
fixed, swinging like stone. He was
taken down in that condition and recov-
cred next day.
