OYER THE BLUFF.

A Soldier at Fort Smelling Falls Twenty
Feet-Probabiy Fatally Injured.
A serious accident which will probably
terminate fatally occurred yesterday after
noon at Fort Smelling. At one o'clock pri-
vate Fennin of Company I, Seventh Infan
try, while walking near the edge of the para
pet which overlooks the river slipped and fell
over the bluff. which at
that place deseends endicularly
about 100 feet to the river.
A number of his companions saw him fall
and rushing to the wall looked over expect
ing to see his lifeless body lying at the foot
Of the bluff. Fortunately Fennin in his fall
had struck on ledge about twenty feet
from the point where he went over. A SOL
der was lowered by rope to where the body
lay and it was drawn up and taken
to the hospital. The surgeon
prono4nces Finnln's injuries as of very
serious nature, his head being badly cut, and
and it is feared he is injured internally.
This is the the third injury of the kind
that has happened at the same place and
! Fennin's escape from instant death is almost
miraculous. Last evening the wounded
man was still in an unconscious condition and
his recovery is doubtful.

How Smart Young Man Played 1t on Hff
Tailor-The Man of Clothes Keta,iates-
And Now the Deal Is Involved In Mys-
terry.
A good story is on the tapis concerning
the neat manner in which w. l.. McGrath
the popular Third street tailor, called the
turn on an impecunious blood, named Rob
inson, and as the case will probably come be-
fore the court, tie circumstances may be
given as follows: About three months ago
dapper looking youth visited McGrath's
establishment and ordered S45 suit OF
clothes cut in the latest mode, representing
that he was employed in the Office of we'll
known railroad company.
The clothing was made'up as per order and
the young man was allowed to take the out
fit away on payment of ten dollars with the
understanding that the balance was to be
paid in weekly installments. limo rolled on
and the dapper young fellow failed to come
to time, his creditor being informed
that he had losst his situation
andswas travelling on his appearance.
A day or two since Mr.. McGrath obsel ved
the young fellow passing the store and
called him in for friendly chat, during
which he conceived the following
method of getting even. 1t was
proposed that Robinson return the clothing
upon the payment of the ten dollar install
ment, and with this understanding the cloth
ing was returned with the nap taken of, the
same afternoon, the young man accepting 6
check for SO on Dawson & Co.'s bank.
In the meantime Mr.. McGrath had mott
fed the teller not to honor the check, ant
at the time it was accepted by Robinson ht
was informed that it was bogus. Notwith-
standing this, he visited BOWS clothing
house, on jackson street, ana purchased {
ten-doi,ar suit of clothing, rendering tn.
check in payment, which was accepted. The
next day the check was presented at thu
bank and protested, and upon being ques
toned as to the proceeding, Mr.. McGratt
profered the above explanation. Tho firm
| of Dow g. Co. have seen a lawyer, and thu
| case may be adjusted by the court.

Uhipping The DecU Round the Stump.

Hhipping The Devil Round the Stamp.
In New York taxpayer has right IN
der The law to offset debts against his per-
sonaI property, and TO that extent exempt
the latter from taxation, and tax expert
thus shows how persons avail themselves OF
the privilege:
Suppose you own 1000 of personal prop.
erty which is properly subject to taxation. On
that YOU borrow Sl1 900 and invest that sum
in the purchase of $4,000 face value of U. y.
bonds; on these bonds you again borrow ~
600, which you again invest in SS,50U U. 3.
bonds. Now you own $4,000 taxable per-
sonal property; $4,000 first purchase U. 3;
bonds; 50, 500 second purchase U. 3. bonds, and
YOU owe ST., 600 first loan; $1,000 second
loan; that is in all $4,000, which is debt to
be legally offset against the amount OF your
oiiginal property, while the q. s. securities are
not subject to taxation. Hence your dcots
equal the amount of personal property subject
to taxation, and you calmly and placidiy can
swear off your tax. Next day you can close up
YOUR loans, pay your brokerage and interest
for twenty-four hours and go home happy.
Property can be thus arranged 80 that one can.
with perfect truth, take the oath proposed by
the commissioners after examination OF the ap-
plicant as to his then circumstances, which IN
such case would be as follows: 1 hereby
swear that the value OF my personal property
subject to taxation, does not exceed S.U.

This morning about half-past II o'clock
officers Bremen and Baer had their attention
called to the house corner cf West Third and
Exchange streets, by loud cries for help, in
a female voice. Proceeding to the locality
the officers found brute in mans
form by the name of j. G. Lacy, engaged IN
the peculiarly brutal pastime of beating
woman. 1t appears that Lacy and the woman
have been living together at the place deslg-
mated for some time past. Yesterday after
noon they went out for a ride, during which
both INDUCED iu the ardent, the man taking
a sufficient quantity to excite his british IN
stincts to lead him to wind up the jambaree
by giving his paramour a severe beat
ing, in the midst of which
he was interrupted by the arrival of the Of
ficers, and logged to the lock up, from which
he will emerge this morning to appear be-
fore his honor of the municipal court.
Lacy was recently from Wisconsin, where
he served seven years in the penitentiary for
deadly assault. Of his female victim
nothing is k nown, but if she is able to
maintain what she asserts, the beating give
her by Lacy this morning will cost MN
