An Important Capture.

Fred Lally is young man who came to
this state with the Dorr circus. He stopped
off at st. Paul and subsequently came to
Minneapolis and secured employment
as waiter in the Metropolitan res
taurant. He spent the winter in
New Orleans and made pocketful of
money selling prize boxes. He has worked
Cincinnati and Louisville too and has fire.
quently since his advent in this city flashed
a big roll of bills. He is so clever that his
most intimate companions know scarcely
nothing of his history. Yesterday a de-
tective from Southern city and
a Minneapolis detective took him
in custody and lodged him in durance upon
a charge of larceny. He had in his pocket
pawn check indicating that he had re-
ceived $3.50 for goods soaked in this town.
The property showed must have been worth
about 81. 900. The detectives and authori-
ties are dumb as oysters, and although the
boy is in the lookup, inquiry at the station
only elected the laconic reply, 1--WE have
nothing here" 1t is understood, therefore,
that it is an important case.

Sentenced the Old MAN.

PHILADELPHIA, July 17.-JOseph f.
Cottrolager, eX-secretary and treasurer of
the Central Transportation company of
PENNSYLVANIA, charged with the embezzle-
ment of S147, 900 and forging certificates
for 112 shares of the company's stock and
uttering and publishing the same, was
alTaigned before Judge Yarkes this after
noon and pleaded guilty. A plea for mercy
was made in behalf of the prisoner, who is
6S years of age and the head of highly
respected family. Counsel said that large
portion Of the stock was OverisSued by the
defendant twelve or thirteen years ago, and
it was a fact well known that a large
amount OF money. which defendant had re-
ceived for the overisSue, was paid in divi-
dendS at II per cent. per annum to the
very persons who got the stock, so that he
profited very little himself in the transac-
tionS. The trouble was that he began in a
small way and kept it up in order to pre-
vent his first fraud from being discovered.
1t was testified that he began the overissue
in 1878 and continued it until the I'd of
April, 1885, during which time it amounted
to 3,0SS shares. The prisoner had nothing
to say in his own behalf. The Judge SEN
fenced him to an Imprisonment for four
years at separate and solitary confinement
in the county prison.

The Texas river is an institution that is
peculiarly Texan. In the southern portion
of the state many of the rivers and streams
manage to get along during the summer
with very little water. Near Ell Paso it has
frequently occurred that the natives have
had to dig wells in the dry beds of the Rio
Grande in order to get drinking water. For
many miles the river bed was as dry as two
volumes of the Congressional Record.
The writer had crossed the NueceS river
without knowing it. The dust was so
thick that he did not perceive that the road
crossed the dry bed of the river. About
two hours after crossed the Nueces river
without knowing it, a tidal wave six feet
high came rolling down that river bed. Six
hours afterwards the river had risen thirty
feet. and before twenty-four hours had
passed away the river in some places was
upwards of three miles wide, and at the
pace where stirred up the dust the raging
and Antonio, that for many miles runs al
most altogether under ground. 1t consists
of succession of pools. The water sinks
out of sight and reappears mile or so dis
tant. The banks of the Cibolo are quite
steep, and in some places are forty or fifty
feet high, which makes it very difficult for
wagons to cross, particularly in wet
weather.
The San Antonio, Comal, San Marcos,
Gaudaloupe. BrazoS and Sabine Rivers do
not become actually dry, but in summer
they, like the Republican majority in many
states, dwindle away to almost nothing;
The statement that the water gets so shall
low that the catfish have to stand ON their
heads and fan themselves with their tails to
keep cool is exaggerated little.
The habit the Texas rivers have of ris-
ing sixty feet in twenty-four hours makes
the building of railroads very expensive in
Texas. The bridges over the apparently
Insignificant streams have to be made very
high, and of the most durable material.
When stranger sees an immense bridge
over small stream, he is inclined to sug-
gest that the people sell the bridge and buy
some water to put in the creek. but after
there has been rise it would be more
appropriate to sell some water TO buy new
bridge.
