AN EXPERIENCE.
What u Party of Roughs Did With a
Marine,

Marine.
New York Herald.l
Charles II. Abel is private In the United
States Marine Corps and his "home" is In
the Flushing Avenue Barracks, Brooklyn.
Abel had been on liberty and had passed
the evening with a friend. He had been
drinking, but not to such an extent as to
feel any Ill effects therefrom, and two
O'Clock In the morning. saw him going the
even tenor of his way quietly towards the
barracks. While passing through Nassau
street near Pc ,rl, New York, his attention
was suddenly attracted by rapid footsteps
behind him.
Before he could turn about he was dealt
a stunning blow on the head. He then saw
that there were two men near him and be-
fore he could fairly realize what had hap
pened he was again struck. A desperate
struggle between the three men followed.
The marine, who Is a well built, active fel-
low, was finally overpowered and thrown
down by his assailants, who kicked him
about the legs and arms while he was pros
trate.
One of the two highwaymen, who seemed
to be much younger than his companion,
exclaimed, "Muzzle the - -" and
the suggestion was acted upon by the other
ruffian. They placed their hands over the
which he had raised with the hope of at
tracting the attention of the police. While
still struggling with all his strength to re-
tain his feet they riled his pockets of their
contents, which amounted to $50 in bills
and some small change.
Roundsman Reeves and Patrolman Don
Ion of the Washington street station, hear
ing the outcry, ran to the scene of the out
rage, but the thieves fled and made good
their escape for the time being. The
marine managed to obtain a souvenir of the
''little unpleasantness" by seizing the hat
of one of his assailants. Ahell accompanied
the roundsmen to the York street station
house and Sergeant Eason sent out several
officers to search for the footpads.
The marine accompaI led the roundsman in
the search AID they met m with no hat
on at the corner of Hudson avenue and Mas
sau street. The policeman asked him who
he was and II that was his hat, showing the
one Abel had taken. He admitted It was,
acknowledging that he had quarrelled with
the marine, but asserted That the latter
struck him frat.
He denied all knowledge of the robbery,
and gave his name as Michael McCarton,
aged 90 years, residing at No. 200 Hudson
avenue. Subsequently, James Murray, q
young man about 20 years of age, was found
in stable on Nassau street, and was identi-
fed by the complainant as the man who
kicked him while he was on the ground.
In McCarton'e pocket was found a ma
rine's overcoat button, but there was no
money in possession of either of the pris
ouers. On being arraigned before Justice
Walsh they were committed to jail to await
examination on Thursday next. Abel was
held as witness.

GEORGETOWN, Jan. l6.-Sleighing over,

A number Of our citizens attended the
inaugural.
ParsoI Rawlin is busy with the ungodly
and is holding extra meetings In the VI. E.
Church.
Wild ducks by the thousands are flying

'Uncle Nat" Walls, living near here, got
mixed up on Sunday as TO the day of tht.

eggs to do some trading, but was met BY a
friend who relieved him of his false i'm
preston. The old man hurried home to
stop his wife from knitting.
The ChOptank canal route Is now being
sounded by five men, including the superiu-
tendeut. A sample OF every foot ot soil
gone through as the party bore downward
is boxel up and forwarded to the authori-
ties in Washington FIR inspection. TSo
soundings, 100 feet deep each, will be made.
The first tsounding is being made near this
place, the route running within three miles OF
here. The machinery used IL bulky. but very
elaborate, including something never seen in
Georgctdwn before-a "whi-ky. jack"-an
arrangement OF screws and whisky, operated
by the evaporlzation of the alcohol con-
tained in the liquor.
The Sassafras route for the canal will
probably be selected as the Choptank con-
tains much quicksand. Georgetowners,
however, hope the local route will be de-
eided upon.

How Ii kfRnnanan.

William K. Luton, who was "broken all
up" on Monday night, gives a very funny
account of hcw he came to grief while coast
ing. His story is about as follows: II had
business up town, and at Fourth and Ship
ley streets met my boy with his sled. He
insisted that | should get on and take one
ride. hadn't been on a sled for twenty five
years, and was ratherdubious about trying It.
Finally, after some persuasion, | got on in
front, while he sat behind to steer. Away
we flew down Shipley street at the rate of q
mile a minute. About Third street the boy
slid off, aud went sailing along unable tC
steer the blamed thing. AS l came near
Second street / saw a crowd OF boys aud
yelled to them to get out of the way. They
either misunderstood my cries or else had
the wind taken out of them by seeing such
an old codger coasting, aud therefore stood
still. / crashed into the group and scooped
the whole party, and this is the way | came
out. My head is cut, my eye blackened, my
face and nose skinned, my leg bruised, and

New ARK, Jan. 17.-Our town has been
more lively during the past week than 1t has
been for several months. The snow has
been THE means Of filing our street with
jinglinE bells and merry hearts, and never
within the memsry of the writer has there
been better season for that sport of sports
-sleighing-than at the present time. At
all hours of day and night the merry bells
are to lie heard. Main street is In an ex-
cellent rondition, and on 1t daily are to be
found feet steeds and beautiful sleighs,
from your city and our nelghboring towns.
L. Fl. Ball, student Of the University of
Pennsylvania, was in town several DAYS
last week. He told me that he came down
for sleigh ride, as a sleigh could not be
procured In Philadelphia fol- less than $40
per hour.
The mills and factories in this neighbor-
hood arc in u very prosperous condition,
and woFkmen are hard 10 procure TO fill
them.
Our sidewalks are In very bad condi
tton, being covered with ice, almost from
one end Of the town to the other Our
town authorities should give this matter
their I'M mediate attention, ere some painful
accident may happen through their negli-
gence.

The examination by Receiver Williams Of
the affairs Of the City Bank of Jersey City,
shows that notes left at the bank for collec-
tion were taken by Boice of the First Ma
tloDal Bank aud there discounted for his
benefit. He retained the proceeds Of these
transactions, which aggregate about $780,
900. Much of this paper, In addition to
the $24 600 worth of hypothecated bonds Of
the Fifth Ward Savings Bank, IL still in the
possession of the First National Bank, which
refuses to surrender them until
the advances made upon them are
returned. The unendorsed notes OF Boice
and Shaw for $4,000 and 1000 respec-'
lively, which were found by the receiver In
the vault of the City Bank, have been
accounted for by Boice In a statement which
be made yesterday. He said that whenever
Ie wanted $40 or $50 for his private use he
took the amount from the cash drawer and
made memorandum of the 30 called loan
IN piece oil paper, which he paced on
tle. The cashier pursued the same plan of
borrowing.
When Boice saw that the failure OF the
bank was inevitable he directed Shaw to
calculate from the memoranda the amount
thus abstracted from the bank. 1t was
then found that he had received in these
small sums SIT, 7,00', while the cashier had,
in similar manner, taken 1000. Each
of them thereupon executed his note to the
bank for the amount of his indebtedne s,
and included these worthless notes among
the assets.
District Attorney McGill has summoned
the Grand Jury to hold special session to-
day for the purpose of investigating the sub
ect. 1t is regarded as cerIain that Boice,
