An ACCOMPLISHED Dead Beat.

A young man of Providence has re-
turned from two years. trip in the West.
The popularity of his travel was that he
invariably refused to pay fare. He usual
ly rode on express trains, because they
make fewer stops, nd he rarely found a
conductor who would delay to put him of
between stations. His appearance was
rather effeminate, and he made it strict
rule never to talk back, so that he escaped
the rough usage which most men would
have received Occasionally he wonld
have to journey in freight cars,
and even on the trucks under
meath; but generally he suffered no
discomfort, and was able to save all his
money for food and lodging. But on a
Mississippi steamboat he met with less
success. Resolutely refusing to buy tick

HO,c Policeman Dascson DrOre the General
Orer TOspedOes Into YOrhstOscM.
Lewis E. Dawson, the big policeman
who stands at Eighth and Arch streets
claims the honor of having taken General
Mcclellan safely through, or rather over,
one of the greatest dangers of his life. ''It
was the time the rebels evacuated York
town." said the policeman, 'before the
seven days fight in the Peninsula. I was
then driving McClellan's private ambul-
ance, sort of Germantown wagon, that
he had had fitted up for
his own use. It would carry four
persons comfortably, and had team of
four splendid horses to draw it. Well, the
rebels skipped out of Yorktown one Satur-
day night, but before they went they filed
all the roads in and around the town with
torpedoes 'em under a thin scum
OF earth. you know, so that you couldn't
see the blamed things till you stepped on
'em, and then after that you never saw any
thing else. The Sunday after the evacua-
ton was beautiful day, but that plight it
rained as it just knew how to rain down on
the Peninsula, and the mud-well, it knew
how to make mud, too. It was about a foot
deep, reckon, when 1 started on Monday
morning for McClellan's headquarters,
four miles out, to drive to Yorktown.
There were four officers in the ambulance.
General Mcclellan, Colonel Colburn, his
chief of staff, General Franklin and Gen
eral Fitz John Porter. It was still raining
and the ambulance curtains were closed
We got along all right till we came to the
entrance to the Yorktown Notifications.
and there, right in the narrowest part of
the way,was an ammunition wagon, broken
down IN the mud, and beside it was stick,
planted in the mud, with little red flag
hanging from it. I knew what it was as
soon as saw it; the wind had washed the
dirt off one of them bloody torpedoes, and
the soldiers had found it and marked it.:
ysu bet they wasn't going to dig it up
without positive orders.
well, stopped my team and Gen. Nc
Clellan stuck his head through the curtains
and looked about him. There were some
soldiers standing around and among them
was lieutenant. Mcclellan called him
up and said:
don't let our men take up any of these
torpedoes. Make the prisoners do it,
Then he looked at the wagon and asked
me; DO you think you can get past?'
"'Yes,' said. 4 guess can, if I strad-
die that torpedo
"'Well,' said he, go ahead. I expect
we'll all be blown to thunder together
Those were the very words he used. So
threw my long whip down between the
horses, to keep them apart as far as pos
sible, and drove ahead and we got into
Yorktown without touching the torpedo"
"And what did Mcclellan say them"
HE never said word. When we got
into Yorktown he left the ambulance and
went into house, and presently he sent
an orderly out to tell me to go back to
headquarters. I had no sooner reached
there than 1 received orders to turn around,
return to Yorktown and follow the army,

BODY-SNATCHING IN MISSOURI.

The Remains Of q Respected Roman Found
IN a Kansas Citg Dissecting Room.
Kansas City Dispatch to Globe-Democrat.
The sensation of the body-snatching
case of Mrs. Anna Hudson is still at white
heat to-day and is in everybody's mouth.
The Globe Democrat correspondent was in
formed that the body was found at the
Kansas City university, on the corner of
Twelfth and MCGEE streets. The body lay
on the dissecting table, but the knife had
not been applied. The long tresses which
the dead lady wore were, however,
missing, and instead of the fine silk
dress in which she was buried a COM
mon robe shrouded the body.
This is regarded as one of the worst fea-
lures of the affair, bat there is little doubt
that the body-snatchers removed the silk
dress and replaced it with the robe before
the subject was delivered. It is evident
that the demonstration in charge of the
dissecting rooms of the Krnsas City uni
versity did not know where the corpse was
procured. It is claimed that it is custom
airy for body-snatchers to get subjects from
the potter's field, and what the motive of
the men who stole Mrs. Hudson's body
Was IcudluS W Uo S0cu. Lilo UlSE ppoat-
ance of the silk dress and the cutting of
the body's hair prior to the delivery of
the subject at 1.-THE dissecting room point
to the motive of the larceny on the part
of the scoundrels.
Undertaken Carlatt said to the CORE
spondent: Il was told to go to the univer-
sity and RENTER the body. When we en-
tered one of the rooms I saw Mrs. Hud-
sons remains lying on the floor. The body
had not been cut, but the hair had been
cut off and the fine silk dress which it had
on removed and replaced by common
robe. We put the body into the receiver
and drove to the Union cemetery. We met
Superintendent. Skues on the road, he be-
ing on his way to town in a buggy, and I
made him go back to the cemetery with
me. The dirt had been removed from the
grave, but the coffin was in good order,
not having been broken at all. We placed
the body in the coffin and I put the slip
pers, which had been left by the body
snatchers, upon the feet myself. The
grave was partially filed with earth that
night and the job finished the next day.
There is no clue whatever to the Identified
ton of the body-snatchers."

THE SWISS METHOD.
Il Way of Dealing tritI. Petty Offenders
that S0res a Deal Of Trouble.

Il TFaJ of Dealing eritIt Petty Offenders
that sares Deal Of Trouble.
In Geneva and some other parts of
Switzerland, a very practical custom exists
for the rapid punishment of petty offend
ers. A policeman who sees a publican
keep his house open after closing hours, a
cabman driving after dark without his Ian
terms lit, or a servant shaking carpet out
of a window overlooking the street, does
not summon the transgressor before a
magistrate, but serves him with a card,
which setting forth the nature of the Of
Tense, adds: 'If you acknowledge your
self to have committed the aforesaid breach
of police regulations, you are to pay fine of
5 francs at the police Office on such day.
If you deny your guilt, you are hereby sum-
moned to appear on such day at the tri-
bunal, where you will have to answer to
my CHARGE" By this system the expense,
waste of time, and worry involved in at
tending at police court to meet trivial
charge are avoided, and no injustice is
done, since the accused has the right of ap-
peal to magistrate if he thinks he has
been improperly fined. Take tradesmen
who adulterate their goods. Last year
there was opened at the prefecture de pol
ice in Paris a laboratory for the analysis of
food and drink; and here for a small fee
anybody may cause wine, butter, milk, etc.,
to be examined, and may receive report
on them. Armed with such document,
the victim of trade roguery has only to
lodge complaint at the police Office
of his district, and in less than
two hours the offenders shop
will be visited by inspectors who will COM
mence an examination of his whole stock,
and carry off all adulterated merchandise
there and then in cart. In some places
it is still the custom to pour adulterated
liquids in the gutter in front of the vend
er's house; but this has been discontinued
in large cities because women used to
hasten with jugs to ladle up the con-
demned wine or spirits, not caring if they
were poisoned, so long as they got the
poison for nothing. Foreign magistrates
all thoroughly understand the importance
of protecting the public against noxious
food, and for this reason there are inspect
ors whose only business is to go and visit
the kitchens of hotels and eating houses to
see that the copper saucepans are kept
free from verdigris and that no tainted
meats are used. The grandest hotels, like
the lowest beef shops, are liable to the
visits of these inspectors, who will never
scrupple to inflict fine when they meet
ith careless cook.

about thirty ive years or age, as her only COM

carrying out Of some dark deed. This morning
while old Mrs. Fix was alone, an unknown man,
supposed to be q tramp, entered the house, and
after binding and gagglng the old lady rified
the house and secured about $50 in cash. Mrs
Fix succeeded In freeing herself while the man
was up stairs, and was about to leave the house

the floor In an unconscious condition. At noon.
when Mrs. Fix's son Philip, who Ii employed in
