An Example in Cancellation


4 hard looking tramp was recently
driven UP before an Austin Recorders
Court, and the presiding officer thus ad-
dressed him:
Il shall fine you s. for drunkenness and
s. for fighting on the street."
Judge" said the tramp, Il think you
should throw OH the 50 for drunkenness"
"Why,H inquired the Recorder, ''should
l throw off the fine for drunkennessT
Because, Judge, have instincts of a
gentleman, and before / enter into a fight
1t always becomes necessary for me to get
drunk in order to reduce myself to the
level of my opponent. And that, main
tain, Judge, is sufficient punishment. To
get drunk enough to fight is, indeed, ter
rible thing. Judge, did you ever get
drunk and wallOw aronnd all night in the
gutter?"
mo SIR answered the Judge severely,
Il never did,"
Then, sir, 1t Will be utterly impossible
to realize the horrible retribution which
follows a spree-a fighting drunk.
think, Judge, that you had better let the
punishment of the drunk cancel the fight.
If you'll throw off the fine for drunken
ness. I'll throw off the one for fighting"
But stern, relentless justice had its
sway, and the tramp supped on bean soup
and salt rising bread.

rmDEN TOTTERs AT THE POLLS
An Interesting Scene at a New York
Precinct.

At 2:l0 Samuel !. Tilden cast his vote
at the polling place in Third avenue, near
Twentieth street. For some time before
noon a close carriage had stood before Mr..
Tilden's house, No. 10 Gramercy Park, the
horses being blanketed. When Mr.. Til
den issued from his handsome residence
he wore a lOOse-ttting black suit. high
collar and black tie. a loose black
OvercOat with a velvet collar and slim
black hat. He walked slowly down the
steps, followed by Mr.. Smith, his pri-
vate secretary, and they both en-
tered the carriage. When the carriage
reached the polling place, the driver
brought il round with a flourish and
graceful curve before the door. Mr..
Tilden walked with slow steps across the
sidewalk. His small, pinched face had a
weary look and his eyes were not bright.
He looked as if he wished he had stayed
at home. His hands shook continually at
his sides, and his lips moved without
uttering anything. At the threshold he
stopped and rested for a minute, while
his secretary pulled out a bunch of tickets
and led Mr.. Tilden in. The latter took of
his hat.
"What is the name - respectfully asked
one of the inspectors. There was next
to an inaudible murmur, and the inspec-
tor repeated in loud voice, samuel j.
Tildfn.' When Mr.. Tllden told his ad-
dress it could not be heard three feet
away. After voting he bowed, the half
dozen persons present lifted their hats,
and the sage of the Democracy was driven
TO his home. He voted the straight Demo-
cratic ticket.

A DEATH TRAP SPRUNG.
An Unsafe Building Does IFS Fat

An Unsafe Building Does Its Fatal
Work Before Completed.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 9.-The four
story frame cOoper-shop of Jacob Dold
was blown down in a gale this morning.
Twelve carpenters and laborers were at
work inside repairing and altering the
building, and all were buried in the ruins.
Four men were taken out dead. another
was fatally hurt, and the remaining seven
were more or less injured.
BUFFALO, Nov. 8, IL 80 p. M.-Further
particulars of the terrible accident at
Jacob Dold's coOperage and packing
house to-day show the direct cause to
have been an attempt to construct at
nominal expense building which should
nave received the most careful atten-
ton IN building and on the construction
of which no expense should have been
spared. The building was 120 feet in
length, by 80 feet in width aud stories in
height. 1t was constructed of 4 by inch
upright wooden posts, stacked to the
jOice by 10 by u inches on the first floor,
10 by 10 on the second and s by 10 on
the third and fourth. In it's
construction only ordinary sized
nails We're used. No bolts or bars for the
purposes OF safety were employed, and the
sections of the building were built of the
cheapest materials. No precaution was
taken against the high winds prevailing
in that section by boarding the different
floors. Experienced builders give it
as their opinion that had the building
been completed it would have been un-
safe for any purpose. At the time of the
collapse, although high wind was blow
ing,i was not sufficient to cause any injury
TO adjoining property, and it is generally
believed that the loose and cheap con-
structlon of the building was the cause
of its falling, needing only an extra gust
Of wind to blow it over. Reports from
the hospital state that the carpenter who
was severely injured cannot live. An
official Investigation is to be held.

party of II previously mentioned started
Immediately for San Carlos, and were fol-
lowed after about 90 days by the 70 now

about twenty days after Gen. Crook left
Mexico. There was no fight with the
MeXlcans when they attempted to sur
round them at Casa Grande. Some of the
MeXicans they knew at Casa Grande in
formed them in time and they left. The
chiefs now here are NatcheZ, BOnitO
and Chihuahu. The seventy-nine now
here promised ChyaterO to remain here
until his party arrived, eight days

than Chicago time.
The Illinois Central Railroad manage
ment has decided not to adopt the new
standard of time soon to go into effect,
but it is getting out time schedules based
on Chicago time. The reason given for
this decision is that its numerous subur-
ban trains must necessarily be run on
Chicago time, and to run it's other trains
upon different schedule would mix up
the matter and increase the danger of
accidents and collisions between trains
running on different schedules. If the
city of Chicago should adopt the new
standard time the road will do likewise.

wIsCONsINs FALLEN CAPITOL
The Loss Probably to Fall on the Tax
payers of the State.


MADISON, WIS, Nov. 9.-'The causes
which led to the accident at the capitol
yesterday afternoon are variously stated.
Some ascribe it to defective IRON pillars
and others to poor masonry. 1t is the
opinion of Contractor Bently that the loss
will fall on the commonwealth, as the
plans were approved by the State archi-
tect, and the blame cannot be laid on the
shoulders of the builders. The loss can
not be estimated at present. The work
was to be completed March 1, 1884, and
$4,000 were appropriated by the Legisla-
ture to meet the expenses. The wing was
designed for the use of the Historical
Society.
Five men had left the basement and were
about returning when the crash came.
Hundreds of people were at once upon
the scene, and with the aid of a hook and

CHICAGO, Nov. "a new move was
made to-day to test the validity of the
saloon licenses issued by the city at $1O9
each a few days before the State
law making the amount $500 went
into effect. The Citizens League
brought suit against a firm of grocers
and liquor dealers, who We're in fact
friendly to the defendants. Every legal
device in the defense was resorted to ex-
cept delay in order to make a strong case.
The court decided that license
was franchise, and gave judg-
ment of custer against the defend
ants, prohibiting them from selling
liquor under a city license. An appeal
was taken, and within four hours after
the suit was begun the record was on its
way to the Supreme Court, where the
case will be argued at the next term. If
a decision can be secured before the 1st of
April next, it will involve the payment
by the saloon-keepers to the city of over
$1,000 900,
