TELEGRAPH OFFICE AT WHArcoA.-
We rise to remark that the telegraph Of
fee discontinued some years ago at
Whatcom should be re-opened. The
country round about that section is
developing so rapidly that telegraph
privileges will soon become an absolute
necessity both at Whatcom and Fern
dale; already an Office at either place
would get business enough to be worth
the accommodation IL the Western
Union company has due regard for the
needs of the public it will cause an Of
flee to be opened anew at Whatcom-
and that right soon. The line runs
through the town, and the former oper-
ator, Mr.. G. Donovan, has the outfit Of
instruments formerly used there; but
there is no Office open where messages
must be received and attended to. Let
there be step in the right direction
here at once.

that Mr.. John Robinson is constructing
a large and servicable wharf at that
place. Coupeville is the shipping point
for all the produce from large scope OF
farming community, and its growing
business as we'll as the rapidly increas-

why Mr.. CorcOran Paid the Fares.

A funny story is going the rounds at
the expense of Washington's million

to take them to the White Sulphur
Springs, pay ying $50 When the car was
switched off from the Midland road at
Charlottesville to the Chesapeake road
the new conductor came around for
tickets. Mr.. Corcoran refused to pay, on
the ground that he had chartered the
car for the Springs. The conductor ex.
planned that the Pennsylvania road
had no control over that line, and I'm.
less $50 was forthcoming he would have
to side-track the car. "lwill notpay an.
other cent said Mr.. Corcoran, who
would have said the same if the
amount had been so cents, "and | will
spend a million dollars before I will bt
imposed on in this manner ""WEo are
YOU, anyhow" asked the conductor w.
W. Corcoran of Washington, SIR" was
the stately reply of the twenty-times
millionaire. "Well, sir was the rejoind
er, 'if you are Mr.. Corcoran, you car
better afford to spend $1,000, 900 than
can to lose my place" He said he would
telegraph his manager, however, for in
structions. AT the next station the reply
came indorsing the conductor. This was
shown Mr.. Corcoran, and he was ful
ther inform ed that the car would be
side tracked right there in the woods
unless the fare was paid. The million
aire growled, and swore, and thre atened
and paid the money.

dudes on the Rampage.
From the Philadelphia Record.

George Henderson and James Lowri
Of this city are leading mem bers of tina
noble and numerous body of young me-
known to jealous world as dudes
Caught in the draft caused by the rusl
of citizens leaving the city for thei
summer vacations, these charming
specimens Of the gentle army of dudel
were one day last week waited to tn,
breezey beaches of Coney Island, where
finding themselves among strangers
they were struck with the brilliant ides
of impressing the wild, untutored ma
tives of the place with the fact that fol
utter and ferocious recklessness the
Philadelphia dude knows no rival.
In order to thoroughly play their
parts the pair INDUCED copiously in
schooner after schooner Of pink lemon
ade until at last, heated by that poten,
tipple, the hot blood bubbled through
their veins like the surging tide of Nj
agara's awful rapids. Then they
sought out place where they could
display their reckless disregard for all
the world, and fate led them to the ice
cream saloon of Mr.. Robert Murray
situated on the cOncourse. They en-
tered, and, staggering on the counter
demanded 1.-TWO seltzer lemonades" il
tones calculated to terrorize the most
lion-hear ed of mankind. While the
beverage was being concOcted the pair
now half mad with drink, began pokine
holes in valuable chrome that hung
on the wall of the saloon, and when the
proprietor objected they told him to be
quiet Or they would "clean his place
out"
"And so you shall," replied the in
trepid Mr.. Murray. John, bring in
two buckets and floOr-cloths," saying
which Mr.. Murray stepped 20 the en-
trance and locked the doors. The
buckets and cloths were brought by the
grinning John.
Now" said Mr.. Murray, seizing a
heavy cane and approaching the dudes
whose ferocity seemed to instantly van
ish, git down there and clean the
place out"
The dudes smiled in a sickly way
and told Mr.. Murray that he was a
crazy rufiian. Mr.. Murray replied by
striking them on their hats with his

ribs, nit them on the shins and cracked
them over the hands until they howled
for mercy
When he had beaten them black and
blue he repeated his demand that they
should scrub the floor. There was no
help for it, and down the unhappy
dudes went on their hands and knees
and began work. Mr. Murray stood
over them, and by occasional whacks
prevented any unnecessary loss of time.
In twenty minutes the task was COM
pleted, and Mr. Murray took them next
door to the Court Of Chief Justice Will
liams and preferred charge of drunk
enness and disorderly conduct, for
which the Chief Justice fined them $50
apiece, half of which went to Mr.. Muir
ray as counsel fee.
Having settled the fine the thorough
ly squelched couple left for the iron
pier, took the first boat for New York,
and from there the first train for
Philadelphia.

1t is curious fact, and without one ex-

the very poorest class, and that only one
brought any money to San Francisco.
Only one is the graduate educated to
any profession, and all of these lawyers.
So far as we know there is not preach

Jews, five are German, four are En-

know only three were born south Of
Mason and Dixon's line, and of these
neither was from slave owing family.
Only seven have ever held political pO-
sition, there being one Governor, three
United States Senators, a member of
Congress and two members of Assem-

Catholic Church and the synagogue, but
one is member of church or professor of

The strong est Man in the state.

The West Chester News says Colo

bly, one of the strongest men in the
State of Pennsylvania. His muscles
are hardened to wonderful degree. He
has several times given an exhibition of
his great strength in the presence of a
few acquantances. One of the feats
that he is accustomed to perform is to
take heavy iron poker, such as is
usually found about bar-room stove,
having handle not less than half an
inch in diameter, and by one or two
vigorous blows across his arm between
the elbow and wrist, bend the poker so
badly that it can only be Strengthened
again with great difficulty. Many per-
sons are unwilling to believe it possible
that any man can endure the pain caus-
ed by such a heavy blow on the part of
the arm usually so sensitive, but it
does not appear to incommode the Col
onel in the least hence their wonder
grows as they witness the performance
and then examine the arm and find it
uninjured. We doubt whether another
man in the State, other than a profess
sionel acrobat, can show muscular
system so wonderfully developed. The
Colonel is u quiet, inoflensive man,
,averse to quarreling, and is altogether
unknown in sporting circles.

in that paper stating that Fitzgerald
had been disbarred from practice before
the pension Office for swindling. Gen.
Boynton replied that he had. Fitzger.
aid said that the Fitzgerald who had
been disbarred was Jenkins Fitzgerald.
Gen. BOynton replied.
"YOu all belong to the same gang OF
swindlers," adding that he had receiv..
ed letter from man in Ohio who said
he had been swindled out of $25 In an
application for patent by N. W. Fitz.
gerald. At this Fitzgerald struck Boyn.
ton who was sitting IN chair, a blow
on the forehead. Mr.. Wynne, Gen
Boynton's 8 assistant, at this time inter
fered, striking Fitzgerald squarely in
the eye. Fitzgerald went out without
getting all the satisfaction he called
for.
When Fitzgerald ran out of the office
he was without hat and eyeglasses. He
went to the Elizabeth House. Boynton
washed his face and followed him to the
Ebbit House drug store. Gen. Boynt"n
told Fitzgerald that he was a scoundrel
and coward to come into his office and
assault him while he, much smaller
man, was sitting down and not expect
ing any trouble.
Fitzgerald again rushed at him. but
Gen. Boynton managed to ward OIL his
blows and to give him one or two him
self before the two came together.
They struggled on the floor again, and
Fitzgerald, breaking loose, tried to
jump on the correspondent. The po-
lice, however, interfered.
He was afterwards arrested, and
gave security for his appearance in the
Police Court tomorrow on a charge of
assaulting Gen. Boynton. N. W: Fitz-
gerald is at present the bail for Brady
and Dorsey In the star-route cases.
