AN EX-MIDsHIPMAN vIcTIMIZED.
He Loans Money ON a Bogus Check.

The following is from yesterdays Baltimore
Sun: y man named J. Reynolds was arrested in
Baltimore yesterday by Policeman Deayer,
charged with swindling II. e. Boone, an ex-cadet
midshipman, out OF so in Washington city.
Young Boone is of Jefferson City, NO., and had
resigned his cadetship at the Naval Academy.
He visited Washington city on Monday before re-
turning home, and met Reynolds, who is a much
older man than himself, at the Bsltims, > and
Ohio depot in Washington. Reynolds, who rep
resents HIMSELF to be q cattle dealer engaged the
young man in conversation and made himself
very agreeable. The ex-cadet says that while
they were walking in q corridor Of the Treasury
Department, chatting pleasantly, a stranger ap-
preached Reynolds, tapped him on the shoulder
as an acquaintance, ana IN familiar way asked
for the loan Of 500 on q check which he produced.
Reynolds replied that he did not have the money,
and the man suggested that possibly his friend,
the excsdet, would cash the check. The young
man said he could not, as he had only $50. The
ready stranger then pulled cut n check for 400
and asked to be accommodated with $50 on II, the
young man TO hold the check until he could OBJ
tain the money from the bank sni then ray the
remainder TO The good cattle dealer. The young
man, without thinking, in the suddenness OF the
transaction, did as requested, and then left. Soon
atterSard Reynolds excused himself and left,
alleging be would get receipt for the money
That, he s.ys was the last he saw of the accus 3D.
until coming to Baltimore he espiei hun at the
Northern Central hotel, corner OF Calvert and
Franklin streets, and had him arrested. Justice
Haegsrty committed the accused.

MURcH's CHARIOT STREET CAR.

Their Successful Introduction in this City.
The Northern Liberty Chariot Company, after
meeting several delays and drawbacks, have
finally succeeded in getting their organization
on substantial basis and the chariots success
fully running on the line.
These vehicles are pattern OF nestness, and
for comfort and easy riding cannot be excel sd.
They were made under the supervision of the
patentee, Mr. Chauneey n. Murcb, 2TS West
street, Cincinnati, Ohio, and from him derive
their name. The car is attractive on the street,
convenient and can be entered by one step. 1t
comes to the curb and takes up the passenger,
which is an advantage over the street rail way;
is lighted with double rejecting lamps, and
mounted on combination springs makes riding
easier than the ordinary street-car.
The company now have fourteen of these beau
tiful and comfortable vehicles running regularly
over the established route, commencing at the
Ccast Survey building, on Capitol Hill; thence
along the east iron: Of the Capitol to the BaIti-
more and Ohio depot; thence, via d, to Third, to
X, passing the new Northern Liberty market
house, MI. Vernon square and franklin school
building TO Fifteenth street; thence southwark to
the Treasury Department building, passing the
Executive Mansion 20 the State, War and Navy
Departments building, and return to the Capitol
by the same route. Tne chaTiOts are run siN min
utes apart, excepting portion OF the day, when
the tine Is reduced to three minutes, but is
varied to accommodate the travelling public.
Each car will seat comfortably fourteen persons
and thirty have teen accommodated. They are
finished with hard wood, oiled and vanished,
showing the natural grain, while the seats are
made OF perforated wood, and can be kept per
fectly clean.
The openings are provided with sashes and shut
tiers, TO be raised or lowered at the will of the
passengers, and there are suitable ventilators in
the root 1n the front, adjoining the driver is the
SlaWson box for the especial benefit Of the passen
ger so that the fare can be readily deposited and
change packages furnished by the driver when
called upon. The fare is ve cents, or six tickets
for - cents, and twenty-five for 81.
The extensive patronage that the company has
received since commencing operations was some
what unexpected, but none the less acceptable,
and if the increase continues they will feel war
ranted at an early day, in carrying out their pro-
Ject OF extending the route and Increasing the
travelling facilities

BILLIARDS EXTRAORDINARY.

The Thumb and Second Finger VI. the Cue.
novel and extraordinary exhibition 10 bill
lizards was given last night at Wizards hall by
Adrian liar, the champion finger player, and
Albert GARNER, the well-known champion cue
player of tie world, under the management o.
Wr. J. ". Randall The arrangements for the
convenience Of the audience, permitting thcm to
have an unbroken view of the game, were eX-
ceIleut and properly appreciated. AS the hall
toor sloped toward the stage it was necessary TO
block UP the legs of the table in order to secure
a level bed. The only drawbacks were the
height OF the table, which, with the players be-
ing short in stature, operated to their dsaAvan-
tage in the exhibition OF their skill. But the
second objection only affected the playing of Mr..
Garnier. The balls used being below the ordi-
nary and regulation size and smaller than he was
accustomed 10 using. and the table being OF the
Collender full dimension, there were two strong
and reasonable excuses to advance for his playing,
which was far below his usual excellence.
The reduction in the size of the balls was for the
purpose of accommodating Mr.: LIAR, who cannot
manipulate the regular billiard ball with the same
skill and certainty OF ettecting carom.
Among the audience was number OF ladies,
who appeared to take deep interest in the game
anc the wonderful twistings, given to the cue
and fnger-balI. Mr.. liar holds the ball between
his right thumb and second finger, and in his
backward, forward, and side shots, throws twist
on the ball evidently by the use OF the wrist
chiefly, and can get into it nearly the same mo-
mentum as is given by the stroke Of a cue. He
displayed dellcacy oil touch ana knowledge OF
the cushions that contribute greatlyto bis success
as player. In this style Of play he has made
some very large runs in Boston not long since,
rolling up 2,O2l points.
Last night the game was 600 points, French
carom, and was won by Hr. LIAR, whose best runs
were lG, 1S ~ Il, i and l07, Mr. GARNER scoring
l@2, and making double figures three tmes-lI,
Il and 22.
Tins was followed by an exhibition OF finger
fancy shots, which astonished the audience. such
as letter W, touching the cushion twice before
caroming on the woodwork of the cushion, spin.
ming the !ull length Of the side rail, and many
others too numerous to mention.
The entertainment concluded by Mr.. GARNER,
with tie cIe giving a brilliant exhibition OF his
fancy shots, which were admirably executed.

Eirst-Their composition Is Of an improved na-
ture, and combined with the recently
discovered vegetable principle-Cap-
specific, has never been egualed in the
history of true medicine. They operate
with astonishing vigor, bring almost I'M

and with greater certainty than any
known plaster, linimeat or compound.
Second-Tkey possess all the merit of the ordi-
nary porous plaster with above addition,
and will cure all the various difficulties
for which they have been esteemed in as
many hours as the ordinary article
