been noticed that, in some cases, the
patients suffer only pain around the in

both diarrhGa and vomiting. the pain

like rocks. On the ledge were four
or five boulders that must have
weighed over two tons, and the

it in and in second we were all
a-swimming. The stone couldn't get

almost lose your feet.

and what a night it was About mid
night some one sings out, The lamps

half dozen Of us, scared to death, as
ten minutes might cost a good many
lives, and vessel could come
within twenty foot of our house
before she struck. BY the time we
got up we found the place full of
smoke and see something had fouled
the chimney, and what dye suppose it
WASP You'd never guess. 1t was
blowing fit to take the buttons right
off your coat; but some one had to 20
outside and climb up the rod on to the
very top Of the light and see what was
the trouble. 1t was close call, and
we tossed for it. Ny mate drew and
started. We tied a rope around him
and up he went and did the job. lie

he wouldn't do it again for love or

birds in the light, and that is the rea-
son the glass is made so thick, as al
most every night one or two birds hit
against it. Sometimes in the spring
and fall hundreds Of 'em will strike in
the course Of a night. You see at this

off shore along the coast, and on foggy
nights they only see the blaze Of the

on this memorable occasion was the

the address customary on such occa-

trusted, not unacceptable form. He
declined by any words Of eulogy to at

BURGLARS BEHIND TIE BAR
They Mako a Raid on Harry Inman's
Place and Make q Haul.

Yesterday morning 1t was discovered
that aome time during the previous night
burglars had ra.ded the saloon of Harry
Inman, on Main street, just south Of
Broadway. The entrance had been
gained by lifting the CRATE In the side
walk, and thus going into the Placement,
the fellows had come up through a trap
door In the floor. They had evidently
been deliberate, for they ranaacked the
place thoroughly, and took whate yer
they desired. All the cigars were taken,
two or three cases of bottled beer, o large
quantity of towels, all the spoons, silver
cups and other valuables oftheb bar fixturer,
In all about a hundred dollars worth.
There was about five dollars IN change,
but this escaped their notice, as 1t was
hid away In q glass, instead of being left
In the money drawer. lnman has been
In the habit of leaving dog in the place,
and this dog has nee before frightened
burglars away, but for the past few nights
the deg has been at the house. From
this it seems that the job was done by
someone who knew move or less ab?u'
the habits of the place, but no definite
clue can be obtained for the police Il

A YOUTHFUL BURGLAR.
A Girl Breaks Into a House and
Secures n Big Bundle of
Plumber.

A young housebFeaker was brought
before Judge Aylesworth yesterday morn
ing In the person of q girl, named Emma
Hall, aged only IL years. This little
girl had entered the house of Mrs.
Poulsen. No. 10Y Vine street, during the
absence ofthe family Thursday afternoon,
she gaining an entrance by taking out q
screen, and crawling through the window.
She helped herself to q pair OF shoes, q
quantity Of underclOthes, and a lot of
toys, picture cards and trlnkets,
belonging to the children. The stolen
goods were valued at $40, and formed a
large bundle which abe took to her home
on Madison street. The girls mother
asked her where she got them, and was
told that q colored womsn had given
them to her. Without any further in
vestipatlon Mira. Hall sold the shoes to
another woman for seventy-fve cents,
and yesterday the owner of the shoes

the above facts were developed, and
the goods recovered. The moth

tured out tie reault of such a course In
crime, In such strong %colors, that the
girl sobbed and declared Ashe would
rather die than go to jail, and after
having duly Impressed her, as he thought,
he allowed her to 90 home, and held the
case open to await further developments.
The part taken by the mother indicates
that she, rather than the girl, Ia probably
to blame for the moral weakness shown

How The Insulting Hackmen And
Others Still Bleed Strangers.

Correspondence of the Albany Journal,
A visitor at Niagara Falls Is still
harassed as usual by q legion of hackmen,
who have the same amount of schemes to
worry q few dollars out of the inexper-
fenced tourist as before the grounds were
thrown open. Among the many expad.
tents res5rted to are the following: A
cheap ride for 90 cents each for four Is
bargained for to see the Falls The tour
ists think this means q ride for an hour
OF 30 to the various points of interest,
The party Ia taken to the park, 80 or 40
rods distant, and informed ''Ihere are
the Falls" and the party are asked II
they would like to 20 to the Island.
Thinking this a part of the programme
they answer yes, aud are driven there,
and In the same way around the Falls
perhaps over to the Canada side. At the
bridge each occupant of the hack or
| carriage is called upon for 20 cents, which
Is repeated on the return. An hour lie
thus consumed which, with a party Of
four, would give the hackm'n 81 besides
gate money, In which he shares; but the
thrifty Jehu is not satisfied. He demands
| 80 cents tor the island, 90 cents for the
| Canada side, and 90 cents around the
Island, or SO In addition to the first
charges, or So per hour. The charges
are usually paid rather than exhibit a
combativs spirit. This is only n of
numerous ways and expsdients resortsd
I % by these diligent hAckmen, and, from
actual experience, the writer In a two
hours walk with a male companion was
solicited to ride 80 different times. The
only way of escape was to tell these bpres
that We were also guides who had = hack
around the corner and were looking for
the unwary.
The second day Of our stay we were
allowed to pass more ut our leisure. They
knew the '~'guides," A special nuisance
still exists in the journey to the whirl
