HIS LIVING BY HIS WITS.
Mistake that George Lawrence Made
in q Philad alnhia Hotel

Mistake that George Lawrence Made
in q Philadelphia Hotel.
Manager Timothy Dugap, who brought
Miss Jane Coombs south on her present
tour, was with Buffalo Bill and the "Wild
West" in London year ago. He will leave
here this week for New York to join the
combination on its way to Paris. Buffalo
Bill" Mr.. Dugar says, sis now on his ranch
at North Platte, OAK and will leave in a
few days for New York.
Mr.. Dugan says that George Lawrence,
the bogus circus agents game, which got
nim in jail here last week, is not his first, by
any means; One day last summer Maj.
Burke, of the wild West,n was in Phila-
delplia arranging for the big show
Chere. He was stopping at the
Girard house. One evening neatly
dressed dapper little fellow walked in and
registered as George Lawrence, supply
agent Of the Wild West, and asked for the
best room i'll the house. The clerk assigned
him to a room on one of the lower floors,
and Lawrence's baggage was sent up. In
few minutes Lawrence came down and
said, ''that room will never do in the world.
[ am representing the biggest thing on
earth, and l want the best room in the
house."
II am very sorry, sir, but it is the best
we can do for you now" said the clerk.
Your general manager, Maj. Burke,
mas the room next to yours and he has
found no fault"
That was a sumner for Lawrence, who
had no idea that Maj. Burke was there. He
thought minute, and packing up the bag
gage said that he guessed the room wouldn't
do anyway, and walked out. Maj. Burke
had known of Lawrence before, but he
declined to prosecute him. Mr.. Dugan says
that SO far as he knows, Lawrence
mas never been connected with any show,
but he mas been making fine living by his
wits.
The city criminal court will convene this
morning, and it goes without saying that
the case which will excite the most interest
IS that of the voluble and self-constituted
advance agent of John Robinson's stu
pendous show-George Lawrence, with a
nundle of aliases too numerous to mention

MARKET BASEMENT RATS.
The Headquarters OF Gangs of Black
Thieves.

Thieves.
The market basement is resort for some
of the most worthless of the many lazaroni,
who, when not drunk, are rude, profane
and dangerous. Many of them are sneak
thieves and pickDockets who earn a precari-
GUS living by begging and stealing. They
pilot the unwary countryman into the very
lowest resorts, where, in various ways,
their victim is plundered of his purse, and
often of his purchases about town.
Ii is a common trick of some of the
younger herd to offer to carry a valse or
a package for some out-of-town stranger OH
the way to the Central depot or to the Mar
ket dock, and run away with the parcel IL
the countryman happens to be a little in
his cups, the success Of the theft is generally
assured. The young rascals are indoleut
enough in their torpid state, and when they
consent to go on an errand they move by
slow stages, but when they break away
with the parcel entrusted to them, they are
off like the wind. They dodge in the lanes,
run through a friendly house and defy
pursuit or detection afterward. Under the
bluff they run into the darkest alleys
soon lost to sight. They sleep under sheds,
under outhouses, on stoops, IN straw piles
and often In the market basement, 'their
sleep taken by snatches, for they watch for
the early truck cart and the belated trav-
eler. They are trained thieves with older
accessories who hide their plumber. They
gamble in street, lane and square, and
grow up vicious and dangerous
OF late they have been getting so bold
and insolent that there is a great deal Of
complaint among the merchants about the
market, and they want the municipal au-
thorities to make speciality of breaking up
the gang.

ROCKY FORD'S SHOOTING.
A Negro Full of Bullets Reported
Found in q Swamp.

A Negro Full of Bullets Reported
Found in Swamp.
1t was rumored at the Central railroad
lepot last night that the negro who was
shot at Rocky Ford Thursday had died,
and that the colored man who shot him had
been found in a swamp near the town with
several bullets in him. He was reported O
be i'll an almost dying condition, and his
wounds are considered fatal.
The circus. in whose employ the first
wounded negro was, arrived here yes
terday morning, but the managers knew
nothing later than what was stated in Fri
days MORNING NEWS. A gentleman who
was in Rocky Ford at the time of the shoot
ing, said that the negro employed by the
show caught several colored people peep
ing under the canvass and attempted to
drive them away, when a difficulty arose
and he was shot. The negro Who did the
shooting ran to house and locked himself
in. A guard OF four men was placed
around the house until the officers arrived
Before they got there, however, the negro
jumped out of the window and ran to a
dense swamp near by. Before he
reached the swamp one of the
guards fired at him four times
with a pistol and two gunshots were also
fired. The negro kept on running, though,
and was not heard of up to a late hour
Friday night 1t was the general opinion
that he had been hit.
The story that was current at the depot
was not substantiated by the passengers on
the incoming fast mail train, and there is
no certainty about the tuthfulness of it.
Conductor Bebee, on the fast mail, said
that he heard nothing about the matter
when he passed Rocky Ford yesterday
afternoon.
