BOLDBAD BOLTON,
And How He Was Brought up with a
ShRrD Turn.

On Tuesday evening, q well dressed and
good looking man came into the Mcclure
House office and obtained room, register
ing as George Bolton, Detroit, Mich. Yes
terday he settled his bill and departed in
much worse grace, though probably some
what better off financially. Yesterday
mornings prcpOSSeSsing looking man and =
good talkcr, presented himself at the office
OF w. +. Peterson and had 8 chat with him
on insurance. Finally he declared he was
stranger in strange land and utterly
dead broke" A friend had promised to
meet him here and had failed to appear and
now be wanted to get TO GAINESVILLE. He
presented his case so plausibly that Mr.
Peterson loaned him 3. Perhaps he gave
4 Masonic grip" into the bargain.
Shortly afterward, Mr.. Peterson dropped
into Doc Moffatt's store, and TO Will
Fisher and Doc. related his experience
with the stranger. When he concluded,
Will simply said: shake. He got 81 from
me-" Then Doc said; Shake He got a
81 pair OF gloves from me-" II seems the
unknown had presented himself TO Mr..
Fisher, talked yolubly OF stores and told
the same story with the same result At
MIR. Motfatt's he had work ed pair of fine
kid gloves in the same way. A plan OF &C
ton was agreed upon, and presently Con-
who was found at the Mcclure House,
before Justice Philips. He claimed
to have only twenty cents with
him, and declined an offer of the loan
of ten additional pennies TO make upS the
sum necessary to defrsy the expenses OF q
telegram TO Detroit TO vindicate himself.
He wanted no vindication, and finally was
permitted to depart, after paying the costs
and returning the gloves and the 81.
He was told Wheeling was an unhealty
place. and he went to the hotel, paid his
biil and left How many additional 81 he
had borrowed is not known, but no doubt
the returns will begin TO come in when this
&C, cunt is read this morning.

accented lover, and In fortnight the
day for the wedding had arrived. All
this while he had seen the lady once .
day, always in the presence Of her
mother: and on the day before the in
tended marriage he had been permitted
for the first time to take her hand
and imprint upon 1t Q chaste salute.
The hour appointed for the wedding
found the bridegroom dressed for fine
Ceremony and awaiting the happy
moment. There enter to him at this
iuncture three Greeks, whom he had
never seen before, and an Interpreters,
Who introduces them as brothers of the
: bride-elect. They produce porch-
mept, which the interpreter explains.
It Is deed of settlement, which binds the
bridegroom to pay 80 much year to
the mother and to each brother, and so
much to his wife, and to disburse the
first instalments ON the spot. In vain
the unlucky traveller explains that he
is worth nothing, and cannot pay. The
brothers look daggers, the interpreter
frowns; and the scene closes with the
arrival of the Consul, who with difficult
ty gets his protege out of the clutches or
his importunate would be relations, and
ships him off to Athens. be never saw
his beautiful Grecian maiden again.

TheTwo Horse-RaiIways.

The ordinance proposed by the Citizens,
Street Railway Company and Its conan UNI
caiisn in relation to il, as published IN
Yesterdays REGIsTER, do not seem to strike
the chord of popular feeling to any har-
rnony. People do net believe in granting
this company or any other a monopoly of
the streets OF the city by an exclusive priv
ilege. The prevailing idea is to allow as
much competition as possible When this
company was in its infancy, the Council
took hold Of it and by special legislation
in its favor, fOstered it until it grew into
strength. Tested by life of fifteen years,
IL was deemed able to care for itself and
bear the burdens borne by similar corpora
tiOns.
Now the Elm Grove road wants little
privilege, that of extending its line up
Market street to Seventh. 1t will not for
some time be able to do this, but it wishes
TO hold the privilege in reserve. A petit
ton will Be presented and, doubtless,
granted, as the feeling of Council is to be
fair 10 all alike. This grant, of course,
will do away with the exclusive part Of the
Citizens Company's grant

Notes by the Way.
The atmosphere in the House, yesterday,
demonstrated that the only way 10 secure
proper ventilation is to have the hall I'M
der constant supervision of an intelligent
person or persons. Less steam and more
oxygen would revive the spirits OF the
members.

Just as numerous as ever

list of members in the HouSe-eyery seat
now being occupied.
Delegate Brady's seat was vacated yester-
day-that is, his chair absquatulated. He
being good-natured Delegate, did not com.
plain OF the absence of the chair, or OF his
personal inconvenience, but stood up as n
patient representative of the slight inhict-
cd upon the dear people Of the county of
BeTkcly, until a page came to his relief
with n chair.
The proposition for reassessment OF the
real and personal property OF the State,
was reported on fayorably by the commit.
tee to which il was referred.
The familiar face of the Hon. ChaS. James
Faulkner appeared among members on the
