RAG BARIES.
A Boston Broker Gets Even with ~
Party of Practical JOkers.
Boston Globe.l

A certain insurance broker of the highest
responsibility, who prides himself on his
family name, etc, so far forgot his position
in society as TO attend the recent glove fight
at Revere hall, which had such tragic end
ing. After the affair be was so indiscreet as
10 tell several OF his intimate friends of the
fact, and as q consequence they met him at
his office the following morning and told
him with great earnestness that an officer
had called with a summons for him to attend
the investigation as witness. The insur-
ance man became alarmed, for the conSe-
quences il ne should be summoned
10 appear, and was not seen about the streets
for several days. Dame Rumor ssyshe went
10 Providence. At all events he returned
to business day or two since, and. having
seen the joke, laughed heartily at his tim
idity and gulhbility, but the while he med
itated deep and terrible revenge. Having
completed his arrangements. he told his
friends that the joke was SO we'll played
upon him that he would treat, and so he in
vited twelve of his business associates con-
cerned in the affair to an oyster supper at
the Crawford house. The offer was gladly
accepted, and, as yesterday was the time APP
pointed, the thirteen gentlemen were ush-
cred into a private dining hall at the above
named house, where a table was laid in a
most tempting manner with flowers celery,
and all the usual adjuncts of fine supper
1ilc huO gave Tic
of course occupied the head of the table; in
few suitable remarks he invited the COM
pany to test the sayory stews placed before
each, suiting the action to the word by
swallowing a delicious bivalve himself. The
company were not slow to follow suit. but
as each applied his spoon in the bowl be-
fore him look, first OF horror, then of dis
gust, and finally jOvial smile overspread
his countenance Each paused to examine
his find. and what was it? A tiny rag baby
with pale face and outstretched arms, as if
appealing for mercy. Anon it would sink
and then bob up again as if possessed of
life. In a roar of laughter the party adj
journed, acknowledging themselves fairly
sold, leaving the insurance man, in deep
and evident satisfaction, enjoying his gem
uine stew. 1t is needless perhaps TO add
that the conspiracy was concocted with the
approval of the head cook of the house,
Michael Smith. who entered heartily into
the fun Of the thing.

Death of a. VoOdOu.

DR.. Charles Williams, colOred. formerly of
NoodOu snake charming notoriety, having
successfully withstood the bite of a rattle
snake last summer, at Professor Jefferson's
barber shop, believed himself invulnerable
in the way of poisons which affect common
people. So yesterday he attempted distinc-
ton in new role Williams was employed
at Jaccard & Co.'S TO carry in some wood.
There was bottle in the store which at
tracted his attention. he inquired what it
was, and was told it was cyanide of potas-
sum, fatal poison. When no one was
looking he swallowed mouthful from
il and walked out. He had proceeded
but square when he fell to
the ground, and was thus discovered by
Officer Flanagan. who thought he was in a
MT. A physician was summoned, the facts
were disclosed and he was carried into Cren-
shaw's stable where he died in few min
utes This is the colored man who created
so much sensation during last summer by
being bitten by q snake and who was cured
BY being buried up 70 bis neck in mud il a
mud he,e Oh iairc street He was West
India niger, and sort of black NEGRO
mancer who worked upon the superstition
OF those OF his race who were foolish enough
to listen to him and buy his charms and
drugs. Since his recovery from the effects
of the rattlesnake bite last summer he has
been almost omnipotent among the ignorant
class of his own race.

stances, but Mrs. Orburn didn't even cry out
after the shock. Scores of other passengers
were shrieking in pain and fright as the
cold waters flooded one end OF the car and
the flames began 10 eat away at the other.
The woman cleared herself of the broken
seats Just as the fire started, and she then
ascertained that her husband was pinned
fast to the floor by the wreck of matter on
his leg, which was partially bent around

lived through the experience were 10 write
up his or her sensations and adventures
none would display that GOODNESS and hero
ism described by Johnson h. 0rburn and
his wife, who were on their way to the Sag
NAV valley. Both are past forty, and Mr..
Orburn is an Ohio farmer who iateiis pur-
chased a farm in Saginaw county. As the
train pulled out from Ashtabula the farm.
er's wife began eating luncheon, and her
husband was trying to read a newspaper by
the light of the dim lamp
He says he felt the first movement when
the bridge gave way. He first imagined that
one of the wheels under the cars had BE-
come detached, as corner Of the car seemed
to settle down a little. He dropped the
paper and seized the back of the seat in
front of him. Then the whole car seemed
to lift up. and several women shrieked in
alarm. There was no sensation of falling.
On the contrary, both agree that they
thought the car was running up steep hill.
This would prove that the rearsend of their
car settled down first. From the time
the bridge gave way till the cars struck
the ice not more than 10 seconds
could have elapsed, and yet during
that brief interval the husband threw one
arm around his wife. she grasped the seat
and asked what had happened, and he told
her to secure a brace for her feet, and added

The finest display of the science of bill

and the finest ever seen in this country,
was shown at the Globe theater last night,

never equaled, and his great unfinished run
OF 81, which closed the 200 points set
down for him to reach, and which he will
continue tonight, when the match will be
brought to close. The balls left
close together along the side rail
were aligned, and to-night-the last of the
match-he will continue the run. With
the completion of the 31l he reached the
greatest run on record, and as he can't help
counting on the next shot, he is certain to
beat that greatest run. How many more he
will score before he closes the inning, it is
hard TO say. The halls are in fine shape and
he is likely TO put up 400 or even 500 before
he stops 1t was rich treat TO those who
were there To see such play as was shown
not only In that run but in Slosson's 172,
which was a very handsomely executed eff

ZOO, should have just equalied 6losson's
big run in New York.
