She Pulled the Wrong String.

"I've been a-laughin' most fit to kill
myself all the way up" said the driver
doubling up over the brake handle in
another paroxysm as the reporter swung
on to the front platform with the calm
confidence and grace of the possessor of
a S., 600 accident insurance policy. "We
picked up an old lady down here on
Grand st., and after the conductor
helped her on and she had fixed he2-
self in the seat young feller had given
purse and counting out five pennies
says, Conductor, 1 want to get out at
Great Jones street.
"'All right, mum, says the conductor,
and he went back on the rear platform
and began talking to friend. When
we got up by Prince street she waved
her parasol and sung out:
Conductor, amt this Great Jones
street p
d" NO num- says the conductor, this
is Prince.
"When we passed Bond street she
jumped clean out of her seat, this must
be Great Jones street..
"'Be easy, num- says the conductor
with scowl, I'll look after ye.'
"Pretty soon we did come to Great
Jones street, but the conductor was
talkin' politics and he didn't notice it,
made up my mind I'd see the fun
through, 80 I kept the horses movin' at
right smart pace. Just as we were
agoin' by, the old dame saw the name on
the lamp post. Did she holler not
much. She just grabbed for the cord
that runs to the clock and commenced
ringin' up fares at the rate of 500 a
minute. The conductor was 80 para.
lyzed he couldn't move hand, while T
was laughin' so I couldn't have stopped
if I'd wanted to. Bimeby, a man in
the corner pulled the bell and the horses
stopped. Then the old lady got out
and sailed up the street leaving the con-
ductor starin' helplessly at the clock
which registered fifty fares when we
hadn't had dozen passengers on since
we left the stables"

End OF a Murder Trial.

A curious ending is reported to the
trial OF DIR. Henckell for the murder OF
Conrad Burgmuller at Avery's salt mine
in Iberia parish, Louisiana. The neigh
borhood hearing shot fired at night at
the house of Burgmuller, who was en-
gineer at the salt works, hastened
thither and found Berg muller dead and
his daughter. Anna Burgmuller, seriously
wounded. DIR. Henckell and man
named Van Horne were found near the
house and were arrested. The story
first told was that Burgmuller had lost
his life in attempting to defend his
daughter from being outraged by these
men.
In the trial Of DIR. Henckell for the
murder of her father, the young lady for
the first time told the true story of the
killing. She declared amid tears and
Mysteries, that her father was in the act
of outraging her himself when Henckell
came in, and in the struggle that ensued
killed her father and wounded her,
The jury Immediately acquitted the
prisoner.
The last act in the tragedy closed
with the marriage of DIR. Henckell and
Miss Anna Burgmuller in the very court
room where he had been on trial q few
hours before for the murder of her
father. A large crowd was present and
cheered the bride and bridegroom tumul-
tuously.

COUNTING THE CASH.
Tkree Weeks Hard Work Handling the
Wealth I'm the Treasury.


The committee appointed to count the
money in the United States Treasurer's
Office in Washington have reported that
ex-United States Treasurer Wyman's
statement Of assets is correct.
Forty expert counters and as many
clerks, who kept the records, were at
work nearly three weeks counting the
paper money, bonds, etc. A dozen
clerks and as many, laborers were at
work for q week or ten days counting
the gold and silver coin in the vaults.
The specie handled aggregated nearly
$l2, 900, ,000-about $9, 900, 900 silver dol
lars, $500, 900 minor silver coins, and
S2,500,0 900 in gold coin. The silver coin
weighed about 27O tons, and the gold
coin about four and half tons. This
sssz1 = 49, s,-slzi -r-=s=
not counted. but weighed. The silver
dollars, when originally placed in the
vaults, were put in bags, each bag con.
tanning 81 200. coin and bag Weighing
59t pounds. The gold was in bags con-
tanning $4,000 each and weighing 18s
pounds. An actual count by piece was
only made of few bags on the start,
to ascertain the proper and exact. weight
OF bag of 81, 600 in silver or S., 0UG il
gold, and afterward of such bags as
were not satisfactory in weight. Very
few bags, either Of the silver or gold,
fell short of the standard weight, and
In such instances actual count showed
the required number of coins, but with
a few of them sufficiently abraded to
account for the deficiency in the weight
of the bag and contents. When the
last bag was weighed and the record
footed up, not cent was missing.
The paper money and securities
handled included a reserve fund OF
nearly $164, 100000, made up of $751;
000,000 in United States notes, $1O4,-
100000 in gold certificates, and about
$29, 900, 900 in silver certificates; also in
terest checks and coupons aggregating
$S, 100000, unissued Clearing House
certificates amounting to $55, O0O, 900,
and bonds and coupons amounting to
$345, 900, 900, total of $572, 900, 900,
which added to the $12, 900, 900 in coin,
make 1854, 600, 900.
The count of the paper ard securities
was as satisfactory as that of the coin.
Every item of paper assets, United
States notes, bonds, gold and silver GER
tifcates, were examined and counted
piece by piece.

lery. The writer stood near the General,
thinking, between shots, that it was no
place for him, but not seeing how he
could leave while the acknowledgement
remained. When Grant had finished his
dispatch, looking around and appar-
entity appreciating for the first time what
hot place he was in, he quietly said {:

moved of, very closely followed by his
staff, to place where an unoccupied
man could feel cooler"
