Color Bfili6iness.

EXPERIMENTS TO TEsT THE POWER OF
DISCRIMINATING CoLORs AMONG RIV-
EH PILOTS AND LOOKOUT MEN.
East and North rivers and the peculiar
contradictions In the testimony taken on
investigations OF them, concerning what
lights were shown, has induced the COM
panies running ferry boats to submit all
pilots aud lookout men to examination
as To their sense Of color. IL will be re-
mem5ered that the subject Of color blind
ness among railroad employees aud sea
iaring men was first brought prominent
ly into public notice about two years
ago, when celebi ated German ocu-
list read paper on the subject before
the OphthaImic Congress. In the paper
1t was maintained that majority OF
railway accidents and collisions at sea
resulted from color blindness in employ.
es. Since that time tests have been made
In various quarters of the globe, and on
all German railroads at this time appli-
cants for employment are examined as
TO their perception OF colois. A short
while since number of tests WEI made
In Philadelphia, and many men of de-
fective color sense were removed from
the local railroads. These tests are now
being repeated here by DR.. Kobt. White,
at the Office Of the United States Marine
Hospital, at the rear Of the Custom
House. tie has already examined 20
men employed as ferry pilots and look
outs, and during the early days of this
week he expects TO examine as many
more.
The methods of telling are very sim
pie, AS will bs seen. A confused bundle
ofsksins of Berlin wors,ed, of all co ors,
and shades, are placed before the man TO
be examined, and he is II qu. sted to pick
out all the shades Of green, then all the
SHADES of blue, and SO on. Men whose
sense OF color is perfect have no difficult
iy in picking out what is called for, but
those whose sense is imperfect are coll
fused between the lighter shades ofgreen
and blue, and between the darker shades
Of green, blue and brown. IL in plain to
be seen how defect that maEifests it.
self within the narrow confines of room
may be magnified at sea, or when the
sight makes long excursions TO a colored
object, such as switch signal or the
like. The men who are found to be
at fault are refused certificates, and the
companies employing them will not al
low them to do pilot or lookout duty.

n Queer LurcemN Case.

James Pennington, q colored youth,
was before the Mayor last night, and
james Trusty, also coloied, with his
woolly pate while with bone dust from
Walton q Whann's mill, where he works,
and bis clothing giving forth an odor Of
phosphate that was almost unbeai able,
testlfied that the prisoner had stolen
from him stove, table and a single
barrel gun. The charge was not sus-
tained, and the evidence showed that
some months ago the wife of Trusty was
living at the house of '.little Henry"
the boUtblack, In the absence of her hus-
band. AT last she fell sick, and, being
invited by PenniDgton's wife to come
and live there, she lad the things, al
legged to have been stolen, moved to the
house Of the prisoner. She did not fol-
low the goods, but went up to the aims
house, allowing them to remain at Pen
ningtOa's. After while times became
hard with Pennington aud he sold bis
household goods, and also the goods be
held In trust for Trusty, intending TO
pay him back at his own price when he
got the money. In view of these facts
The case was dismissed.

fifteen years old, TO go with family TO

In reply to the above advertisement,
which appeared in one of the morning
papers Of yesterday, Henry, alias Bull
Martin, one of those sharpers who con-
stantly infest large city, came to the
conclusion that Knight was, to use a
common parlance, 'greeny," obtained
the services Of woman named Annie
Lotus, and with her went to the Gaff at
the Pnblice Landing to find Knight.
The Texan was soon found and the OBJ
ject of the visit stated to be N reply to
the advertisement. knight seemed
very much taken up by the girl, and pro-
posed marriage there and then. After
Martin and the girl had conferred for a
few moments Knights proposition was
acceded TO and the two started up Syca-
more street. Upon passing Tom Cos
groves saloon, near Third street, Mar
tin proposed that Knight and the girl
TO the Court House and procure IL
for the marriage. This was agreed to
and Knight gave Martin 81. 70 to pay for
the document. Instead Of going TO the
Court House Martin met q friend nam
ed John Evans and the pair drew up a
bogus license and returned to the sa-
loon. A minister being needed to per-
form the cvIemony, Martin volunteered
the information that he was clergy
man and solemnized the marriage after
a style of his own, which appeared per-
fectly satisfactory, and received a fee of

Knight then stated that he had $50 in
his valise on the Gaff, and that ii his
newly. made acquaintances would accom-
pany him he would obtain his money
and buy his wife (p) new dress. The
four then went to the Gait together,
where Knight obtained his money and
| all returned up Sycamore street AS far
as Cosgrove's, when they again stopped
for drinks. While in here Knight was
relieved OF his $50 by his new-made wife
and friends. Some one seeing the
"greeny" in company with the trio, all

the bottoms, informed Officer Whalen
that they had some countryman In tow

entered the saloon and arrested all foul

learned tnat he had been robbed. Mar

up on suspicion of having committed the
robbery, and Knight was held as wit

GtUen POssesstOn at Last

Probably the last act directly connect
ed with the celebrated Harris +jectment
suit was performed yesterday afternoon,
when Sheriff Pyle came over from New
Castle with writ of possession, issued
by the Court in accordance with the
verdict which was in favor of the plain
tiff.
The fence which formed the disputed
bomndary-line was torn down and the
plot recovered by the verdict was sur
veyed by city engineer Conwell, and the
plaintiffs were given possession,
The suit was brought by the Della
ware Western Railroad Company against
John A. Harris, and bis sisters, Mary
and Eliza Harris, to recover the strips of
land which they claimed had been en-
croached upon by the defendants. The
facts of the case are still fresh iD the
mind of the public and need not be re-

A THEFT THAT HUNG FIRE.

AT 11.30 o'clock, on Sunday night, Mr.
Lewis Stidham found the doors OF the
stable of l.. W. Stidham Il Son,at Ninth
and Walnut streets, unfastened, and Mr..
Frank Stidham's valuable colt, "lron-
Sides" gone. Convinced that it had
been stolen he gave the alarm, and steps
we're at once taken to apprehend the
thief. Telegrams were sent to neigh
boring towns, and, in the morning, MIR.
Stidham was about TO start out on the
search. Word was brought down by a
colored man, about this time, that the
horse was in his stable at Ninth and
French streets, and, upon proceeding
there, it proved to be so. The explana-
ton given of this strange circumstance
is that some one entered the stable to
steal the colt, and, as it was not halter
ed, it ran out and escaped, ana hhaily
found its way to the negro's stable
where it was locked up. The thief tooh
a bridle which cannot be found. There
IS no clue as to who he was.

Jacob Steffen, butcher at the corner Of
Georgia and Marin streets, has dog or
the Scotch shepherd breed, for which he
was offered fifty head of sheep the other
DAY and refused the offer. The canine Is
about twelve years OF age, and can drive
q band OF sheep equal to any two men.
The other night word was brought to the
butcher shop that number of sheep be-
longing to Mr.. S.efisD had broken out
OF their corral near the slaughter house
on the Napa road and stfayed into the
tules. The men in the shop did not ke
the idea OF having to get out early in the
morning to hunt the straysways Mig,
the dog, was lying on the floor with one
eye on the men and ears pricked up. At
ter the men had fiRished talking. the
animal rose upon his feet, stretched HIM
self and walked out of this shop. Early
the next morning two of the boys went
out to the corral to look for the sheep,
but were surprised to find that Mig was
befors them and had all the sheep in the
inclosure and was lying at the hole where
and covered with mud, a. were the
sheep, and evidently had been out all
night. Whenever Mr.. Steffen starts for
Suisun after sheep or cattle, Mig is sent
Hp on the cars, while his owner rides
horseback. The dOg il let off at Fairfield
aud always trOts to certain point on
the road leading from the city and waits
tor his master to come along. If the
master at any time has passed the dog
takes up the scent from the horses feet
and hunts around until the owner is
found. In returning from Suisun Mr..
Steffen drives the cattle and the dog the
sheep. He is acquai nted with every turn
and lane along the road, and always be-
fore arriving near one Of the turns he
runs ahead of the band to keep them
from straying In the wrong direction. As
the feet of The dog are quite teAder, he
has pair of boots that are put on him
before he starts on a return trip. The
dog Is SAID TO be perfectly useless for
anything but driving sheep and will
make friends with almost any one. He
is we'll known throughout the county as
being the finest shepherd dog IN this sec
