A REMARKABLE BOY.
Father BoggIes Tells n Characteristic
story About His Son.


If there was anything Father Boggles
really delighted in, it was to spin a yarn
about tho sharpness of his boy Tom.
"Ah," said Boggles one day, as he had
fairly fixed his auditor, tom is the most
remarkable boy you ever set your eyes on.
He's like his old dad you can no more sar-
cumvent him than you can catch weasel
asleep. You recollect that choice apple tree
by the hedge. Well, / forbid Tom touchn'
those apples but he would got 'em in spite
of me. One day l caught the young scape-
grace up in the tree stuflin' his pockets with
the fruit, and / determined this time to pun
ish him for it.
"'Thomas, my son. says l, come down.
| thought I'd be sort of persuasive, so IL
would fetch him but he smelt the rat and
didn't bulge an inch.
can't, dad, says he, these apples are
in the way
Tom continued sternly, come down
this mint, or I'll cut down the tree, and let
yer fall
"You SEQ my poor limbs wouldn't permit
my shinnin' after the boy.
"'Oh, no, you won't, dad says Tom.
Only think how you'd mourn If you couldn't
sell the apples
"T That was too much to have my own boy
accuse me of such parsimony. So what does
| do but got an AK and cut away at the bot
tom of the tree.
Tom-Thomas, cried, as the tree was
about half cut off, will you come down now
and save yoursefP
"'Never mind, dad says he, "Im all
right
1T was no use l couldn't bring him
down that way. SO chopped away at the
tree till it began to sway, and fell to the
ground"
What and crushed your own boyP" ejac-
ulated his Mortified listener.
I" Not by long chalk" said old Boggles,
winking knowingly. "You couldn't get
over Tom in any such way. What had he
done but crawled out on limb; and while
| was chopin at the bottom o. the tree he
had been cutting Off the limb with his jack
knife, and when the tree fell he was still up
there on the limb !"

Excitement I'm the nixiainn.

In responding to cries of murder" about
o'clock Saturday morning reporter of The
REPUBLICAN was confronted by cooked re-
volver in the hands of q desperate looking in
dividual at the corner of Twelfth and d
streets northwest. He had been in drunken
brawl, and thought the reporter was
one of his assailunts He said, Stop"
and the reporter stopped, which gave the
man an opportunity to got away. The affair
created considerable excitement in the neigh
borhood, and from nearly every window was
thrust frowsy head, with background of
more or less whiteness, the owners of the
heads increasing the disturbance by cries of,
"Shoot him." take away his pistol" don't
made his escape before the police arrived.

Rorna InannctnIs.

For the past two or three days there have
been quite number of thefts committed by
swindlers Three places on Seventh street,
including Hewett's feed store, between NJ and
N streets, and Flynn's grocery, corner of
Twenty-frst and II streets, have been the
victims. One hundred and siXty-two dollars
We're stolen from Flynn's and $50 from the
other places. The mode of working is what
is known as the inspector dodge" A young
man went to each of the places named and
stated that he was health inspector. This
did not excite suspicion, and it was not until
after the "inspector" had gone that the losses
were discovered. In July last bogus inspec-
tor obtained admission into the house of a
citizen on street and outraged his young
daughter. The detectives are making in
quiries into the affair, and will probably
catch the thieves.

Why MIR. Vanderbilt stopped Train.

NeW HdCeR JOt iWGi,
Mr.. Nelson Alvord, second, of Green's
Farms, was recently riding behind span Of
spirited horses in ali open single seated car
riage. Approaching the New Haven railway
track north of the station in that place, the
sounds of an approaching train were beard
1t proved to be the sos n. IN. express from
New York. The train dashes through Green's
Farms usually at the rate Of forty miles an
hour, passing the station on curve. Mr..
Alvords driver knew the trains habit and
that it is rarely even minute late. SO he
held up to listen before attempting to cross,
and then applied the whip, doing so, as he
thought with sufficient margin TO get over
and out of the way. Unfortunately the
hind foit of the Off horse caught between the
rail and the planking and could not be re-
moved. The train now hove in sight and
was dashing toward tho team. 1t was a
moment of terror. Both men realized the
situation, both jumped to the ground, seized
| the leg to which the imprisoned hoof be-
| longed, and by their combined efforts sue
! ceeded in ehecting it release and drawing
| both animals TO one side Of tho track. They
were saved, but the carriage was dashed
! into a thousand pieces. Mr.. William III. Van
! derbilt, who was in "A drawing room car ON
| his way to New Haven, was looking out OF
his car window and saw the peril in which
the two men were. He pulled the bell rope

and at different times was surrounded by
small crowds of sightseers. BY and by wan
dcring Arab of a boy came along, and almost
the first thing he did was to dig his fingers
into the bullet hole and smear the tips of the
horns with blood.
"What's tho excite ment here?" asked a
woman with basket on her arm, as she came
pushing her way in.
They've finally got him." answered the
boy.
"Who?"
"Why, them deer who has bin hooking so

"Three mem" was the solemn answer.
"Whereabouts?'

"Why, my husband and son are up north!"
exclaimed the woman, as she dropped her
basket and flung up her arms A man in the
crowd prevented her from fainting by pinch
ing her arm with one hand and cutting tho boy
with the other, but the boy got even by walk
ing of with the wonan's basket. When she
had recovered her composure little, she
said:
'I felt sure that had sustained an over
