and that the act itself vas the law of
1772 and disappeared from the district
code along with the Maryland laws of
the same class many years ago.
The judge then took up other points
of motions to quash the question Of
Jurisdiction in the court and the point
that the conspiracy charged in the in
dictment had not been sufficiently de-
fined receiving consideration in its or
der.
After reading the statutes bearing on
the Jurisdiction of this court, he declar-
ed that the court certainly had jurisdic-
tion in the premises as to the claim that
the conspiracy had not been established
by the indictment, and he said it was
only necessary whether or no the de-
PENDANTS had by their joint action n
deavored to obtain money or its equiv
alent from the government by illegal
methods.
After reading the statutes at length
the judge gave his definition of the
meaning of conspiracy and reviewed
carefully the portions Of the indictment
containing these allegations and said
in his opinion the evidence presented
herein was strong enough to warrant
the prosecution of these defendants
and therefore he decided that the in
dictments were sufficient in all particu-
lars. He then took up what are known
as the straw bond cases.

New York, April 10.-Two men at
tempted this afternoon to sell at a brok-
er's office city bonds of the city of st.
Joseph, Mo-, to the amount of 800, 900
for eighty cents on the dollar. The
bonds are only negotiable for other
bonds. The transaction excited sus-
picion and the men were handed over
to the police and taken to headquarters
where they gave the names of James
Irving and Joseph Fisk. The bonds
were examined by "A financial agent of
the city of st. Joseph and found geuu-
inc. They are supposed to have been
stolen. The prisoners were arraigned
at the Tombs police court when Mr..
Donald, the agent for the bonds in this
city, appeared to prosecute them.
The agent says he disco vered that
something was wrong with the bonds
when he saw them numbered consecu-
tive from 901 to 1000, each bond being
for a $1,000. Only $500, 900 worth of
new bonds have been issued, and these
being so far ahead that it looked like a
fraudulent issue.

Baltimore is threatened with an i'm
pairment of its large and profitable
oyster trade through the diminution of
the oyster supply on which it is founded.
From 1865 to 1874 the beds in the neigh
boring creeks and rivers were SO well
stocked that they seemed inexhaustible,
and the oysters were large and we'll
favored; now, they are so nearly ex-
hausted that they hardly furnish enough
oysters for planting purposes, and the
hundreds Of persons once engaged in
oyster-taking have been reduced in num-
Der to dozens.

of the steamers, the ripping of the
water, and the curling of bunting in the
breeze, are all said to be perfectly dis
tinct and free from the smallest suspic-
ion of a blur.

TOMMY
An Old Miner Who Prefers n DugOut
to . Palace.

Col Sanders, Of Helena, Montana,
told the story of Tommy Cruise yester-
day, the same that is told by DR.. Corey
and others who know the facts. Tommy
is an Irishman and about afty-fve
years of age, and has pirouted around
the mines for thirty years, living in
dugouts and old cabins, etc. In Mon
tana he happened to strike about the
richest gold mine in the country, the
quartz of which readily sells for three
and four dollars a pound. But not
withstanding this rich strike, Tommy
continues to live in his dugout, and
dimes on the humblest fare, just az he
did in the days gone by. He has been
repeatedly offered a million dollars for
the mine, and has one or two standing
offers of a million and a half. But he
refuses all of them on the ground that
he is illiterate, and being Injured to a
prospector's life, he couldn't stand such
a high streak of prosperity; he wouldn't
know what to do with the money. He
oaJo GudI lie llNlbB 10 oulO INV 90 lVhB
as he lives. All he has to do is to dig
a few pounds of quartz occasionally,
take it to the mill and sell it, and then
buy his bacon and flour and live fat in
his dugout near the shaft of the mine.
He is commended to live in this style,
because he knows nothing better and it
is sure. If he sells he would be i'll at
ease as a millionaire, among brussels
carpets, finely upholstered furniture,
fashionable dinners and, besides,
''riches might take to themselves wings
and fly away"
Tommy is indeed an odd genius, but
then he has strong horse sense, after
all. He is happy; for happiness is SIM
ply contentment, and he is content to
live in a dugout and fare on the diet
that sustained him for many years.
