HOW POLK WAS CAPTURED.
Frightened and Taken Prisoner by
an ITuarmcn Pullman Conductor

Frightened and Taken Prisoner by
an Unarmcd Pullman Conductor.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Our San Antonio correspondent tells this
remarkable sorry of the capture of Marsh 7
Polk, the thieving treasurer ofTennessee:
When Cook, who was the conductor o
the sleeping coach, saw Polk enter the
coach he determined to arrest him, and dur
ing the whole journey from here down he
did not once take his eyes off his game. H.
formed no plan of action but relied on his
own ability IN strategy to accomplish
the task he had LAID for himself Just be
fore the train arrived at Webb station, The
fourth this side of Laredo, and only few
miles distant from that town, Cook detecte#
Polk making stealthy preparations for flight.
A soon as the train stopped Cook and the
man who called himself Cameron quit the
car and mounted horses in waiting for them
Send on Joe Shelly TO hel p me; l am after
this manp' yelled Cook to Merrill, the con-
ductor OF the train, and he then fastened
after the fugitives. Polk and Cameron rode
through the chappoaral towards Laredo
and on reaching the outskirts of the town
made a circuit round it and towards the Rio
Grande which they evidently inteaded to
cross; Cook toiled on after them, some,
times in sight OF them, sometimes far away
from them. The bushes tore his clothes
and his shoes were scratched. He overlook
the fugitives on the bank of the Rio Grand,
just as theywere making preparations tocross.
He hid in the b shes for awhile and wa ched
them, as he deliberatei on the best method
to pursue them. He then recollected for the
first tine since he left the train tn 1t he was
unarmed. The situation was a desperate
one but Cook, with the bravery of lion,
jumped from behind bush suddenly and
said: Gentlemen, you are my prisoners.
Instantly two revolvers were leveled at him,
tut he never flinched, as he quietly added:
''You had better surrender, for / know You,
Mr.. Polk, end the rangers are all around
you. Put up your guns, or I'll have your
heads blown over into Mexico" Polk
turned pale and his companion appeared to
be nervous. Cook saw the impression he
had made and quickly followed up his adj
vantage by JERKING ont his watch and impa-
tiently exclaimed if they did not give up
their weapons 10 him i'll quarter of minute
hewould command the rangers to fire. When
the time was nearly expired he took his cap
in his hand as ifto signal with it, but con-
tinuance of his sta;tegy was unnecessary, for
Polk tremblingly handed his revolver to the
brave young man and Cameron followed
suit. With their own revolvers pointed at
their heads the men started TO Laredo.
Officer Shelly came up at this juuctu4e and
assisted in guarding the prisoners.

Representative, Moore. of Tennessee

Representative. Moore, of Tennessee,
wants congress to propose an amend
ment to the constitution against repudi-
alton by states, viz, the resembling of
article IL of the present constitution,
and the insertion of the following Sec
ton: THAT congress shall have power
to provide by appropriate legislation for
the legal enforcement of the obi
CATION Of contracts entered into by any
of the states of this Union" This
amendment, nor anything like it in SUBJ
stance, cannot pass congress at this ses-
sion, nor at any other. 1t was only intro
.duced ''for huncombe" as the phrase
goes, and not with the expectation that
it would even be seriously considered.

CRIMES AND CRIMINALS.

Frank Rogers, commercial man of ST.
Paul. was robbed of s4eo in currency and
gold watch and chain at Huron, Dakota.
He had been drinking heavily all day, and
while in company with questionable char
acters hourished a large roll of bills, which
he was willing to forfeit if there were any
one living in Huron or vicinity who pos
sessed the strength and had sufficient cour-
age to knock him down. Late in the after
noon, from continued drinking, be became
perfectly helpless, and while in this condl-
ton be was relieved of his money and jew.
elry. He has no idea when or by whom he
was robbed, as it was quite late in the even
ing and after he had wandered around for
some time in hazy condition ef mind be-
fore he became aware Of hts misfortune.
A special from Newport, Vt, says that
the arrest on charge of counterfeiting of S.
N. Fields, one of the wealthiest men in that
section, has created an intense commotion
A number of witnesses have been sum-
moned, and the officers say that they have
strong evidence. Fields on the other hand
protests his innocence, and claims that the
counterfeit coins which he passed from time
to time were in his opinion genuine. In his
pockets were found several dollars in SPIT
per to be kept bright. These COLTS are all
dated 1878, and are good counterfeits. A
little wear, however, discloses the fraud,
and they are found to be made of some
mixture of brass and thin washed with silver.
A sensation has been stirred up at Omaha
by Mrs. Matilda A. Ward bringing two suits
against James Bonner, furniture dealer.
The first suit is brought in the police court,
the object being to secure protection against
alleged threats made verbally and in letters
against Mrs. Ward. The second suit is
brought in the district court for Islander,
damages being laid at $1,000. Mrs. Ward is
a respectable lady. very handsome, and the
mother of several children-she having q
son twenty-one years old. She has long
been a member of the FIRST Methodist church,
in which, also, Bonner is shining light.
John H. Clark, proprietor of Olympic
hall, Philadelphia, and John Goodman
were fined $50 each for permitting
the eight-year-old daughter of the latter to
sing in public, The magistrate gave the
child in charge of the society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to children, but an at
tempt to enforce the order caused scene in
court and the child was allowed to 60 with
her parents.

How to Make a Sandwich That Will
Tickle the Palate.

rom the New York Evening Sun.
To make wonderfully appetizing sand
viches proceed in this way: Take equal
quantities of the breast of cold boiled
.hlcken and of cold boiled tongue. Chop
them very fine; so fine in fact that you
sannot distinguish the separate parti-
cles. Add good large half-teasp oonful
Of celery salt, pinch of cayenne pep
per and four teaspoonfuls of Mayor
paise dressing. This quantity of condi-
ments will be enough to season the
breast of one large chicken and an equal
quantity of tongue. When this is per-
fectly cold, spread some thin slices of
bread with butter and then with this
mixture. Do not prepare them till you
are about ready to serve them. # you
wish to take sandwiches for a lunch
when travelling, be careful not to make
the dressing quite SO moist as you would
if they are to be eaten at home. The
better way, if you do not object to the
trouble, is to put the salad filling IN a
small glass jar, and spread the sand
witches as You need them. RI
One good way to utilize bits of cold
venison is to chop them fine, then heat
With some of'the gravy left from dinuer,
,r, if you have none, with little water
in which you put generous lump of
butter; season with pepper and salt;
then fill some patty pans with the ven
ison and cover the top with crust. Basc
until the crust Is done brown.

of the senate, had ordered the chair former
