ROBBED IN FIJI TEEN MINUTES.
One of the Boidest BurgIaries on Rec
ord Committed at Long branch

When Mr.. William Carr and his wife
left their room at the West Fad hotel,
Long Branch, last Friday, to take a
stroll on the bluff, they had not the re-
hottest idea that they should miss any
of their property on their return. Yet,
after only short absence of fifteen
minutes, they re-entered their room
and found their trunk broken open
and the following articles gone A
diamond necklace, and a pocketbook
containing 5000 in money. Mr.. Carr
at once notified Mr.. Hildreth, one OF
the proprictors, Of his loss, and request
ed that no publicity be given to the
matter. Detective Fisher Of the Head
quarters Squad, who is stationed at
the house, said he had seen no sus-
picious persons about from which
Mr. Carr drew the inference that the
job was done by professional thieves
who had followed him from his home
in Pittsburg, Pa, where he is a we'll
known merchant.
The theory that the work was not
done by local operators is strengthened
by the fact that on the 10th of the
month, two days before the Carr rob-
Dery dU Long DTauC1, wealthy L l1ts-
burg man was robbed of 81 900 worth
of diamonds and jewelry at Cape
May.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Carr we're out
on their stroll chamb 4rmaid in pass
ing the room, saw two men enter it
with key, but supposed they belonged
to the party and had a right there, and
SO gave no alarm.
Yesterday morning paper contain
ed the following advertisement:
Two thousand dollars reward, and positively
no questions asked, for diamonds, jewelry and
pocketbook and contents, lost az West Enc. Long
Branch, Friday, August Is.
AS neither Mr.. Carr nor any one else
connected with the case authorized the
advertisement, it is supposed that it
was inserted by the thieves themselves
as hint to Mr.. Carr that they are
ready for negotiations. This bold oper-
alton has stirred up the hotel guests to
renewed vigilance over their money
and valuables.
Mr.. Carr has since offered reward
of 81, 900 for his property and private
papers, and applied to inspector
Byrnes to help work up the case.

SHOOTING OLD PERKINS.
The BUSINESS Like Manner in which
an Editor Conducted Duel.


1t is on record in this state that a
Michigan editor was once engaged to
fight duel. The affair occurred TWEEN
ty-five years ago, and was brought about
by tho journalist making several vicious
attacks upon the honor and honesty of
a member of the legislature. The solon
first tried the usual way of getting even
by buying a horsewhip and hunting the
editor, but when he had found him he
was knocked down and rolled in the
mud. He then sent formal challenge,
and as the editor opened the letter he
turned to his two compositors and SAID
"Boys, how much matter have you
got up for the first prge?"
"Three columns" replied the fore
man, after measuring up the galleys.
"And we need five. You'll have it
all up by noon tomorrow, and by
Wednesday nigh all the inside will be
up. Then I'll wet down the paper and
make up, and while you are working
off tiils.outside I'll run out and shoot
old Perkins who has sent me a chal-
lenge.
He sent formal acceptance, named
rifles as weapons, appointed the rem
devious within thirty rods of the Office,
and then began to scratch out copy.
When the hour arrived he was making
up the forms. having got little behind
the programme, and by and by his sec
ond came in at the back door and said
We've been waiting for you all of
twenty minutes"
"But Pm busy"
"This is no time to be busy; Perkins
is all ready"
"Hang the luckw growled the editor,
as he filled out the column and threw
down his rule. That's just like Per-
kins-he wants to throw our publica-
ton day. Come on; I'll fill him upl'
The editor seized his gun, and hatless
and coatless he set out on a lope for the
spot. Perkins saw him coming in that
fashion, and his knees weakened and
his chin dropped, and though the edit
or yelled for him to hold on % minute
he bolted over the fence and did moi
come out of the woods until he was Dix
miles away.

THE SOUND SLEEPER.

was arraigned before the court. "Par-
son." said the judge, 81 have always re-
garded you AS an honest man, and /
am surprised TO see you here, arrested
upon such charge, and with proof so
conclusive. Why did you steal the
horse, Parson?"
"Jedge, dat word steal, much as | ad-

"That's all very straight, parson, but
the evidence says that shortly after
you sold the horse, the owner and a
constable came along. You took to

were shot in the arm"

How 10 RecOme Strong

In the Summer of 1872 it was necessa
ry to shift the rails on upwards OF live
hundred miles of permanent way on
the Great Western line from the broad
to the narrow guage and there was only
a fortnight to do it in. The work to be
got through was enormous. About
three thousand men were employed,
and they worked double time, some
times from four in the morning until
nine at night. Not a soul was sick,
sorry or drunk and the work was ac-
cCmplished within fortnight. What
was the extraordinary support of this
wonderful squirt of muscular energy?
Weak oatmeal Cruel. To SPARE every
ounce of strength the men were hutted
along the line, and brought with them
bacon, bread, cheese cocoa, etc, to
provide their usual meals at the usual
times.
There was no beer, spirits. or alcohol
ic drink in any form. A pound and d
half of oatmeal and pound of sugar
was allowed to each man daily, and to
every gang of twenty-one men cook
was told off. The first thing in the
morning was to breakfast; and then the
cook, with his couldron, started along
the line till water was found convenient.
and fire place of stones built and the
pot boiled. Oatmeal was then sprinkled
into it with sugar and thoroughly We'll
boiled. The thirsty men liked it exceed
ingly, and learned by experience the
importance of having it well cooked.

sit passably well for his pocket bor-

A Queer Case.

An exciting case of sudden death,
attended with strange circumstances,
occurred the other day in Sharon, O..
Miss Alice Linkmeyer, daughter of q
citizen of that town, was taken with a
sort of cholera morbus, after two or
three days indisposition, and died after
four hours of violent illness. All efforts
to restore her proved unavailing,
though continued for some time, owing
to the life-like appearance of the dead
girls face. Her cheeks blazed redder
than peony; otherwise signs of death
were apparent. Doctors said that she
was certainly dead. Her father was
anxious, and directed that the cooler
should not be allowed to touch her
body. The second day afterward the
funeral took place. The coffin was
placed open in the family vault, and
WAS watched during the night. AS
many people were firm in the belief
that life was not gone, the father had
the body removed hext day to his
home. Galvani.m was tried withou
effect, although the young lady's face
looked as if she were still in brilliant
health. The ordinary tests were made,
burning the skin, to see if it would bis
ter, and lancing to see if blood would
flow. These tests failed, and signs of
decomposition appeared. Finally, on
the assurance of several doctors that
she was dead, the body was again taken
to the vault. The Frightening of her
cheeks was attributed by DR.. Streeter
to an enlargement of the capillsries at
the time Miss Linkmeyer had the
measles some years ago. Following
this was an abnormal deposit of red
coloring matter in the cheeks which
remained after the blood had left the
face. The father refused to allow a
post-mortem examination, and he has
taken means to prevent the possibility
of the body being stolen for dissection.

Winnemucca' Cabinet, says the royal
consort is past the middle age, and
weighs all tie same as four sacks of
-four. Winnemucca, who traces his
lineage, according TO Piute tradition,
from the time when the Humboldt Val

hundredth and fifty-f fifth monarch of
his line. He has children past the
prime of life, and the old fellow takes a
new wife to provide for his necessities

chosen bride retires to her wickiup at
an appointed time and huddles in a
corner. IF she does not like the bride
groom she gets up and runs away when
he enters the wickiup, but if he is the
man of her choice remains, and become
his slave for life.
