service in the army extended over twenty

genius led him to use leather for many pur-
poses. He patented a waterproof trunk
that might be used for saving life at sea,
leather canteens and other articles. His
most notable freak was the construction of

idea of serving for his own use, and in

An Officers Successful Chase.
Yesterday afternoon number of young
men went in bathing at pier No.
4, North River. They made no pre-
tense of donning anything in the shape of
bathing suits. They acted like wild saw
ages in nomadic state. The neighborhood
is thickly populated and travel on horse
cars almost unprecedented, with excur-
sionists going to Staten Island and other
ferries. The young men in the face of the
women and children had not thought of
propriety, and their actions were viewed
with disgust and indignation.
One of the parties who was conspicuous
among the others for his indecent behavior,
lIllNlIlS llllilScll ICducu Oii lIDIl VIC TlVSF
made dash for the street and ran into the
West-street car the officers at his heels. The
car was crowded at the moment and there
was general CONSERVATION among the pas
sengers at the shocking sight of naked
man rushing pell nell through a public
thoroughfare and through crowded car
He was hemmed in between the passengers,
many of whom were ladies' but before the
officer could lay hands on him he got out
at the front platform and made for the
river again.
He dashed headforemost overheard The
officer still kept up the chase, jumping into
the water after the fugitive. The excite
ment of the chase did not end here, The
two men struggled desperately in the water,
but handicapped as the officer was with his
clothing he held on manfully to his prison
er and pummeled him soundly to reduce
him to subsection. Sergeant Gatlin threw a
rope to the officer which the latter tied
about his prisoner, and by this means the
man was hauled on shore like a curious
monster of the deep, He gave his name as
Daniel Morrison, aged twenty-five. In a
similar manner six other bathers were SUBJ
sequently arrested and imprisoned.

Among the passengers who arrived in

places on the Massachusetts coast, and after
stay of ten or twelve days return to Eng
land.
