THE LATE SAMUEL A. EMERY.

In the death of Emery the British stage loses a
comedian of the old school that is represented by
the name of Burton III America Though Burton was
an Englishmanl, and Wright and Reeves in Eng
land. His acting marked by a rough, rugged,
bury humanity, great warmth of simple feeling,
the humor that resides in uncOasciously drOll ways
and comic cOndition-such as is seen i'll certain OF
the domestic animals-and sincere, straightfor-
ward, easily appreciate method His success was
gained in such characters as Captain cutie. Daniel
Peggotfy aud John Pe0ybinge He exhibited neither
tendency fitness for parts that implicate the
imagination require subtle treatment. Hearth
ness, humor and homely pathos were his strong
points, and these endeared him to the London pub
lie and gave him high reputation. There remain
but few of this kind either side of the
ocean the most prominent of them the Ameri-
can stage probably is Mr.. f. G. Bangs, whose ex-
cellence in such character for example, that of
Old Tom, in Mr. Boucicaut's drama of after Dark Z"
could not easily be overstated. Harry Pearson,
twenty years ago, very excellent John Peerg-
6Hge. AT present the tendency of taste i'll dramatic
matters seems unfortunately, to run in direction
quite away from this order of acting and this kind
OF play.
Emery born in 1914, and has been on the
London stage since 1913. He was member of the
Lyceum company, under the management of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Kelley, from 1914 to 1877, and he
aterward conspcuously associated with the
Olympic with Alfred Wigan. He was the original
old Potter. il. Still Waters" and the original in
tony L1toar in Shirley BrooksS drama of The

health. and he has passed away, at the age of
sixty-soven lie was popular man, and much be-
loved ny his comrades

a R GOING.
Trio OF boys CaIab0Oseh For
Using Goats as Beasts OF
burden.

A general war has been declared against
the small boy, the little red OF dirt
shaded wagon, and the goat tribe when
harnessed up for draft purposes, and
pleasure rides.
The Cruelty to Animal Society struck
the trail ofthree goat wagons yesterday,
and their respective drivers were brought
70 grief by being locked up in the stations
house, while tho goats were rendered
happy by being sent TO q livery stable,
whore they were rested, fed and rubbed
down.
The first haul was Ed Ward, adarlky of a
dozen years or such a matter. Ed was
having a rollicking hurrah, driving huge
he-goat in harness, attached 70 q wagon
heavily laden with green blocks. The
black scamp was making the goat move
on a run, trying TO pass another boys
goat wagon, and the whip lashes ami
down upon the poor brute's back in rapid
succession, as the animal strained to draw
the overloaded vehicle ut a gallop over
highways, When Ed was locked in the
calaboose he bawled like the BOBBY no is,
and he wanted his nanny to take him
out of Jail very badly.
The second boy, also a darby Of tender
years, was captured while enjoying SINH
lar sport. His name is Julius jackson.
When locked up and his goat sent to the
stable with his fellow culprit, he beloved
like a calf, and wanted to 60 home.
Number three was the hardest Of the lot,
and he gave Secretary Lane 4 lively chase
in the hot midday sun. Mr.. Lane espied
the team with the boy on one Of the down
town streets. He took after the boy, and
the boy whipped up, but finding himself
close run, abandoned the goat wagon and
took down a side alley on Mulberry street,
and hid in his daddy's kitchen. Those
who saw the race declared that Mr.. Lane
made ~livelier time than he had been cred
tied with being capable Of. Perhaps his
movements were accelerated by the vie
cious goat, who, taking the darky's part,
turned 10 punch the Secretary up with a
pair of crooked and sharp pointed horns.
Mr.. Lane caught his boy and landed him
in the lock up. Being one Of the Linden
street roughs, his arrest has created con-
sternation in the camp down there. Mat
Wilson, colored is his name, and his goat
is in the stable like the others. After
passing the night in prison, the boys,
through the influence of City Attorney
Heiskel, were discharged to-day, their
punishment being considered enough for
the Otfense committed.
The Cruelty Society have considered
this goat driving mania among the boys
very carefully, and are bent on breaking
it up, for which the Society will be hear
tily Endorsed by all good citizens. If
goats can be made beasts Of burden, the
wheel vehicles they haul should be licensed
and numbered like other locomotive
objects.

POLL PAYING.
Ball Doing Process Adopted 10
Collect Ersz= Police and Fire
men.

Two rather previous poll tax collectors
established themselves in the office of the
Fire and Police Commissioners yesterday
at noon, just before the police and fire de-
partments were paid for the month of
August, and ranging their papers on the
desk began a bull DOING process Of UNI
PARALLEL roughness.
As themen received their pay they had

noses and were asked to pay their debts.
part Of the whole, which was pronounced
BY an eminent lawyer as unlawful. A few
Of the men paid but tho majority refused
point blank, and r%emarking that they
never paid their bills in that office walked
out plainly looking upon the whole affair
as an insult and an unwarrantable outrage.
When the fire department came
up, for payment bill was
poked at Chief McFadden, the first man

TO pay it. and his force stood by 70 a man.
all resenting the snap action Of the pre-
vious collectors, and declaring their in
%tention to give them all the trouble they
could.
"Why its worse than Niger pay day in
the gas house" said the ChieE.
Few. if any Of the men of either depart
ment, had been asked to pay these bills,
and the first intimation they had of their
existence was when paid off yesterday.
Their validity was not denied, and they
had not refused to pay.
One Of the collectors was around this
morning trying to soften the thing by pre-
tending that he had no idea n excep-
lions would be taken TO the course he pur-
sued. 1t is plain. however, that the idea
was to use the influence o fthe atmosphere
of headquarters to make them pay, under
the impression they would lose their
prestige with the bosses if they did not.
The majority of the police and fremen
are recognized as prompt pay, and ill
deserved such treatment.

Railway Accident.

The east bound train over the Mem.
phis and Little Rock railroad, due
here last night, met with an accident
four miles from Black Fish, at $3.50
o clock last evening. Cattle on the
track caused the mishap. The engine
was thrown from the track on one side
and the express car went the other
way. The engineer, Mr.. Lee Thomas,
Of Augusta, was considerably scalded
on the arm, but the valves connected
with the boiler permitted the escape
Of the steam from the boiler without
other injurytO life. The steel rails Of
the track for a hundred yards or more
were twisted up as if they were grass
ropes. The passenger coaches failed
to arrive here until this morning on
account Of the accident. No passen-
gers hurt.
