Not Posted on 'Possum's
From The Ne,c York Times.

NYACK, N. Y, Nov. 11.-Mr. Augustus
Latham, highly-reSpected young man of
this place, met with a singular and painful
adventure to-day. He left home at an early
hour this morning to call on friend who
lives some distance away, AMI to shorten
the distance he took path which led
through the woods He was accompanied
on his trip by his dog, which has strong
taste for hunting. While Mr.. Latham was
engaged in deep thought and whistling a
hymn his dog gave a sudden and startling
yelp and started off at rapid rate, as
If chasing something. Mr. Latham being
curious to know what had attracted the
attention of his dog, followed quickly
and soon discovered that the ami
NAL had driven an opossum into hole
Thinking 1t would not be just right to pass
on without securing the tempting game, Mf
Latham concluded to capture the opos um.
He made an examination of the surround
ings and saw that the wild animal was not
very far in the hole, so, rolling up one Of
his sleeves, he thrust his hand into the hole
and caught hold Of the opossums tail pull
ing him nearly cut. The opossum did not
relish this treatment very much, and turn
ing partly around he planted his teeth deep
into the young mans hand. Mr.. Latham
gave a cry of pain, AMI had to fight the
animal fiercely before he succeeded in kill
ing him. when the struggle was over Mr.
Latham had both hands badly lacerated,
but he bore the opoasum home as hard
earned trophy.

A HUMOROUS HOLD UP.
A California Robber Plumbers Two
Stages at the same Time.

A California Robber Plumbers Two
Stages at the same Time.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Nov. 6.-The
two stages running between here and Los
Oliver were both robbed yesterday by a
lone highwayman, who introduced some
novel features into his "hold up" Of the
passenger. The highwayman, who was
masked, first stopped farmer and his son
who were taking a load of wheat to Santa
Barbara. He got few dollars from them,
and made them put on masks and sit on
their load by the road side. In short time
up came the Los Oliver stage, with six
passengers ON board. The highwayman
covered the driver with Winchester and
ordered the passengers to step out which
they did promptly. They, as well as the
driver, were forced to put on masks, when
he calmly went through them, taking all
valuabies and money and breaking open
EXPRESS boxes and cutting the mail pouches.
Then the driver was made to take a posi-
ton BY the roadside, behind bend so that
the stage from Santa Barbara couldn't see
his vehicle. and the robbed pas engers had
TO climb upon the tOpo the stage AMI roost
there in their masks. Pretty soon the other
stage hove in sight, when the fellow went
through exactly the same programme with
the passengers, masking them and standing
them in 4 row. From one lady passenger
he secured $45, aHd the total amount he
gained by his afternoons work was over
$780, The mails and express contained
few valuable Letters, so he made a light
haul.
1t was one of the coolest and most origi-
nal stage robberies ever perpetrated on the
coast. This double robbery. as we'll as 9th
erS near Los Angeles, lead to the suspicion
that the famous "Black Bart has again
taken to his old profession.

President Cleveland's Fortune.
clara Bellies Letter to Philadelphia Pres


Grover Cleveland is worth about $3.50, 900
That is the estimate of a well-advsed per-
sonal friend He had something like
800, 900 when he became President. He
had practiced law profitably for many
years, had held the lucrative Office OF sheriff
in Buffalo, had lived well within his income
while governor, and had invested his saw
ings cumulatively. During his four years
at Washington these investments will have
increased to about $l50,000. He retains
about half his presidential salary Of $4,000
a year. and so win have good quarter of a
million on March next. One who pro-
fesses to know it all predicts that Cleveland
and Lamont will DO law firm in this city,
but others, who know the President very
well indeed, believe that he will not return
TO the practice of the law or to any other
active pursuits. His only business, they
think, will be to derive by careful invest
ments living income from his capital.

He Remembered the Men in the Cab

FROM The Ieicfsfon Journal.
Once upon q time Malagar Cram Of the
New Brunswick railroad was entertaining a
party Of friends in his private car. The
cook prepared an unusually excellent din
ner, and when the party had eaten their fill
the considerate manager de ermined that
the train hands should have taste of the
feast. So all the brakenien we're called in,
and did ample justice to the meal. Only
the fireman and engineer remained, and Mr..
Cram resolved that they should not be over
looked. He was once an engineer himself.
Going into the cab, no ran the locomotive
for forty-eight miles, tending the throttle
and firing, while the two men enjoyed the
feast in his private car.

There is that withholdeth more than is meet

further from illustrating the other saying
There is that scattereth and yet increaseth"-
than our use of the school fund of Georgia
Nothing is so waSteful as the parSmony that
does not spend enough to accomplish its pur-
pose; by so much as it falls short, it is as water
poured forth.
We spend just enough money in primary edu-
cation in public schools to do the least possible
good and the greatest possible harm. Just
enough TO cripple little private schools but not
enough to make good public schools This is a
fair statement OF the case in Georgia to-day in
the rural districts, where most of our people
are; it is not much better IN the
small towns and villages. As IL a
builder and eqqipper OF railroads should

motive. A tramway-a Middle Georgia dirt
road land there are no worse in civilization -
with yoke of oxen and two-wheeled cart is
a better thing than railroad without an engine.
But railroaders are men of sense; when they
build roads they put enough money in them to
make them go. We put just enough money in
our public scdools to give the people a low idea
of education. Solomon's words fits us: There

II don't know exactly the sum which
every one of them is claiming. but pre-

$4,000. AS far as Mr.. Tucker is con-

claims, and the Optimists among us be-
lieye that they will follow the gentle
manly example of Mr. Tucker. Gen.
PryOr'S first retainer amounted to $500.
and the second sum he received was

time $1,000, at another time $500, and

THE GAS TROUBLE.

ST. Paul is young metropolis
and II can hardly be expected that
everything shall be shaved down
TO exact METROPOLITAN proportions.
But we are rapidly getting to
that point. Ia the matters of water
supply, of educational facilities, of
4 thorough police organization and a
most efficient fire department, st. Paul
will yield the palm to no other city.
Our street car service is improving, and
tomorrow we will have cable line.
But there is one thing that metropolis
ought to have first of all in which We
are sadly lacking, and that is good
gas. The GLOBE is not disposed to
be captious in its criticisms of the gas
company. nor has it desire to attribute
blame without just cause for it. But if
our street lights for the last two weeks
are Il fair illustration of the best that
can be done with making gas from
water, then we are free to say that the
gas company has made mistake which
amounts 10 positive wrong. in expert
menting with water gas at this season
of the year. We are in the condition of
the Scriptural parsonage who asked for
bread and got stone. The city is pay
ing for light and is getting darkness.
Old fashioned coal gas, at any price. is
far preferable to the almost Egyptian
darkness which has hung over the city
for the last two or three weeks. A
wrong exists somewhere, and the cham

We are somewhat fearful that an i'm
portant feature of the Carnival is being
overlooked. That is the decorating of
buildings along the principal streets,
and especially on the streets which have
been mapped out for the parade. Here
t0fore the decorations have been among
the most attractive features of our Car
niYai seasons. 1t is not asking great
deal of the business men on these streets
to decorate. for many of them have their
bunting and Streamers and articles of
decoration on hand. Leaving all patri-
otto considerations out of mind, still
there is no question but the business
houses are amply compensated for the
expense OF decorating by the advertise
ment it gives them. And then the deco
ratiOnS make the city look more like q
carnival city. The Carnival opens to-
morrow. and it is time the decorating
was being dOne.

CABLE CARS TOMORROW.

We have an official announcement
that the cable line will be open to-mor-
row, and the cars will be running on
schedule time. In the language of the
immortal PATRICK HENRY We say let
them come. The public heart has
grown sick with deferred hope. 1t is
about time the cars were running. The
experiments that have been made
within the last two days have demon
Strated that cable ear can run on q St.
Paul street. We now have faith i'll the
prediction that the cable line will be
running this winter. What a cheering
sight it will be to the visitors to our
Carnival and in the eXultation of our
pride in having a real. genuine, sure
enough cable line in full operation we
will be almost ready to forgive the cable
company the many disappointments
they have caused us.

The Determination of the Com
missiOners Working a Hardship
to the Minneapolis u St. Louis.
Chicago Railway Age.
The Minnesota railroad commission
erS are formally charged by the presi-
dent of the Minneapolis Il st. Louis
Railway company with running the bus
mess of that road by the action of a ma
Jority of the board in refusing request
for the suspension of the long and short
maui clause III the state law. The COM
pany III that request showed very clearly
that owing to the geographical position of
the road,i could not make the same rates
as its competitors to certain common
points without destroying its local rates
under the requirements of the law, UNI
less on the other hand it sacrificed its
competitive business to maintain its
local rates. The correctness of the
company's statement was indiSputable,
but while one of the commissioners ad-
mitted its justice and the hardship of
egforclng an arbitrary law under such
circumstances the two other members
denied the application. This is only one
OF many instances in which the enforce
ment of the long and short haul clause
on both interstate and state traffic has
caused very severe loss to the railways.
In the case of the large companies with
many branches and many competing
points the losses in certain eases have
been fully or partly balanced by the adj
yantagcs over competitors in other
cases. But roads which, like the Min
neapolis & ST. Louis, depend for their
business chiefly upon a single main line,
have suffered great losses of revenue,
where the cast iron principle referred
to has been literally enforced.
