4 bobtail car of the Blocker Street
line was speeding uptownward we'll filed
with passengers. A brawny, red-faced
charioteer of the Hibernian persuasion
was plotting the flying nag before it. A
harmless looking, small sized Teuton
was putting a nickel into the fare box,
unconscious CT impending danger.
Around the curve the vehicle dashed
out of Howard Street into Crosby. The
violent lurch shot the feather weight
German half way through one OF the lar
board windows of the vehicle. The
crash of breaking glass caused the driver
to jam down the brake, hastily furl the
reins and cast a dynamitical glance at
the unhappy victim of too rapid transit
as the latter frantically endeayored to
extricate himself from the shattered
window.

In the matter of shoes, the high

received their doom, for the present at

ST suppose there are stored in the
banks and safe deposit vaults in Wall
Street and vicinity not far from 81, 900,
0,000," said Mr.. Robert Pinkerton,
as he sat in comfortable easy chair in
his Office in Exchange Place. ST may
be tri1e out of the way in my estimate,
but not very much. The protection of
all this wealth requires the services of
large number of men in addition to the
usual number of mechanical and cleo
trical devices employed for that pur-
pose. The bulk of this large sum of
money is stored in the vaults of safe de-
post companies. The vaults are built
of fire. proof material and are made as
secure as modern invention will allow.
| They are connected by electric wires
with the nearest district telegraph Of
flee. Armed watchmen pace to and
! fro In the rooms upon which the vaults
| open. These men are required to give
a signal over the wires at stated inter-
walls during the night, in order to prove
to the proper authorities that they are
| faithfully attending to their business,
and that nothing of an evil nature has
happened. If the signals are not given
an armed posse of men are at once sent
to the vault in question. In addition
to these watchmen there are other
watchmen who patrol the streets in
front of the building in which the vaults
are placed. Private watchmen and de-
| tectives are also on the lookout for sus-
| plclous persons.
'Are there as many professional
bank robbers now as there were for

ST don't believe there is the making

"Nearly ell Of the old professionals have

put away in prison and the younger men

bank burglars who have been caught

''The young burglars try now excer-
cising their skill upon jewelry safes

Shooting a WaterspOut.

Capt. Bowling of the steamer African,
from Baracoa, reports that on April II,
while off the Virginia coast white
squat suddenly struck the vessel, doing
much damage. 1t passed over in about
half minute, and a waterspout, which
had been nearly two miles away before
the squall, was seen to be only a short
distance from the vessel. Capt. Dow
ling ordered a twelve-pound cannon
loaded with double charge of powder,
which was exploded in the direction of
the spout, bursting it. A loud report
followed it's fall, and the sea for fully
two miles around the ship became very
heavy. No ball was put in the gun.
On the same day the African passed
the wreck of a large schooner, bottom
up, which had apparently not been long
In that position. No name could be
discovered. It is believed that the YES
sci was capsized by the same squat
which struck the steamer, and that all

Borrowed Articles.

The story of boywho took the broken
wheel barrow home and asked that it be
mended, as his father wanted to borrow
it again, is generally supposed to be a
fiction, invented to impress upon dull
intellects the sublime impudence of some
people who borrow. But as sure as
truth is stranger than fiction here we
have an instance of it that goes the
wheelbarrow story several points better.
A Chicago man, Mcfarland by name,
having o little job of painting, as many
people have at this season of the year,
borrowed step. ladder from his neigh
Dor, James Burns. While he was using
it the step-ladder gave way and Nc
Farland fell, breaking one of his ribs
Instead of being grateful for the loan of
the ladder he brings suit against Burns,
charging him with causing the accident
by lending ap unreliable article, and
placing the damage done to his rib at
$1,000. This suit, If it proceeds, ought
to put the whole question of borrowing
on better understood ground. If Burns
kept that kind of ladder on purpose to
lend during house-cleaning time is he
legally responsible for limbs broken on
it? Viii the plea that he wanted to keep
on the right side of disagreeable neigh
Dor with penchant for borrowing stand
law, or will he have TO lie about it and
adopt the didn't know it-was loaded line
of defense in order to escape legal re-
sponsiblity. In short, is a man bound
to keep the best there is in the market
for lending purposes or else shut up his
bowels OF decomposition against the people
who have nothing but what they bor-
row?

British Royal Residences.
[From London TrutA.l

The Queen contemplates building a
villa on portion of the Claremont es.
tate, near Esther, which is to serve as
a country residence for Princess Louise.
It seems rather waste of money, con-
sidering the numerous royal country
houses which are at present nnoccupied.
Kew has not been WISHED by the Duchess
of Cambridge for the last ten years, and
is sadly in want of repairs; and the
White Lodge in Richmond Park is also
empty, and likely to remain so, as there
is no probability of the return of the Duke
and Duchess of Teck, to whom it is lent.
Then there is Frogmore, which has not
been used as residence since the Prince
and Princess of Wales lived there for
few weeks just twenty years, ago. Frog
more, hewever, is practically unavail-
able, as the Queen keeps all the rooms
which were regularly occupied by the
Duchess Of Kent locked up, and they are
the best in the house, So that there
would not be much accommodation for
a new conner. e1l's
