BEAN
Performs a Daring Feat While Heavens Ar.
tiiIery Plays wildly Around him.

A thrilling and also laughable Incl
dent of Wednesday nights storm es-
capped our notice until yesterday, when
it vas related to us substantially as fol-
lows: Officer James A. Bean, just be-
fore the storm approached, was prowl-
ing along Sixteenth street seeking
whom he might devour, and when in
the vicinity Of Abney's old stand, espied
an intoxicated individual struggling to
keep upon his feet, but making a very
sorry job of it. Now be it known that
Jim possesses a great deal Of the milk
Of human kindness in his heart. "Can't
you walk" said Jim. A grunt and a
groan was the only response.
'sThen," said the officer. ''I'll get a
wheelbarrow and bear you away gently
to McDonald's Palace"
So saying, he departed and soon re-
appeared with the Zone wheeled gig.''
The intoxicated individual was tumb-
led into it, and Bean started on his
journey toward the City Hall. The
booty mar sat upright in the convey
ance, surveying the approaching storm.
which, by the time they had arrived al
the Senate saloon corner, had broken
forth furiously. AS Bean passed by
Masten's Hellman's, Polack's and
other establishments with his charge,
he was greeted with applause.
The fellow who was taking the ride
was just drunk enough and sufficiently
vain to believe he was riding in q
golden chariot, and that the roar Of
Heavens artillery was the booming Of
cannon in honor of his triumphant
march. Two or three times he essayed
to make a speech, but Bean bid him bt
quiet, and that officer slowly but surely
wendell his way to the cooler, where
the prisoner was lodged for the night.
The performance was acknowledged
by all who witnessed it to be one Of
thrilling interest. Bean says he was
offered $1,000 for the wheelbarrow last
night.

Roof Of County IaIL EaInna.

The roof Of the county Jail, which
has been reported to the court by sew
eral grand jurors as beng in a danger
Gus condition, has commenced settling
so rapidly of late that the authorities
were compelled to secure the services
of a carpenter yesterday, and have the
roof propped up from within. The
work being done now is simply to stay
the total wreck of the Jail until the
County Commissioners meet and take
some action in the matter.

OF Indian arlirs from the civil TO the military OF

Whether so intended or not the inevitable consc-
quence OF the transfer will be wholesale breaking

now organized and prosecuted among the Indians by
the churches OF the country. IL means dlsintegra-
ton und dissolution OF the working force IN the
Agency Onice IN tho Mission school and chapel

follow resulting IN encouragement and hopeless dts

to bo a general movement TO this end, and
now petitions OF type founders of New York and
other cities OF tho United States being
received They ask that u order to prevent fraud in
the Introduction OF foreign type, tho duty may re-
main q specific one and not bo changed to an
ad valorem duty. They also expross themselves
against reduction OF duty. Those petitions have
been referred to tho Committee OF Ways and Means.
