Some people have prejudice for such
feasts as possum suppers. but those who
have the weakness are almost fanatical

Just here 10 is well TO recall the con-

darkeys, who were fellow travellers in o
certain direction.
One had asked the other what he con

Many travellers by rail and steam have
doubtless speculated as to the Reason for
the existence of a sort of gallows erected
over railroad tracks, with not one but a
dozen rope ends dangling from the cross
beam.
Frequently along the line Of the New
York Central are these odd looking
structures to be seen, and l noticed a
couple as | passed under the bridges on
the Culver route from Bay Ridge TO
Coney lsland recently. a lew uayo i"'.'
the knotted hut nooseless ropes swinging
in the breeze caught my eye as | WIS
awaiting train at little depot on the
Hudson river, and curiosity induced me
to question a railroad employe on the
subject.
The mystery that had puzzled me so
frequently w9s simple enough Of solu-
ton. THAT contrivance is intended to
warn freight brakemen of bridge
ahead" said my informant. "These
men, as you know, frequently run along
the roofs Of freight cars in the night as
well as the day time. IL is often pitch
dark, and they may not know where
they are even if on the lookout for posi-
bic dangers. But in nine times ont OF
ten they are too much engossed in their
work to think about low bridges, where
man standing erect or even kueeling
on n car roof would have his brains
dashed out against the hard stone or
brick while the train sw ept from under
him. The gallows like structures You
refer to are placed at a sufficient dis
lance from q bridge TO give the brake
man time to lie fat on his car roof anu
thus avoid the danger The rope end

bridge ahead. New York Herald.

The Owls.


E0erybody's Friend was the title of the
comedy given by the Owl Dramatic Club
last evening. and everybody was sorry
that the piece was not to have longer
run. The people had just wakened to
the fact that the performances by this or
ganization of amateurs were good, and
that they were missing a great treat
when they failed to attend. The conse-
quence was that there was large house
last night, and that the excellent imper-
sonations of the various characters was
appreciated was shown by the applause
which greeted them on every occasion
where there was a chance to bestow it.
Miss Julia Crawford's first APP
pearance was success. She dressed
appropriately and sustained the character
of ''Mrs. Swandown" excellently. Mr..
It. A. Dobinson as "Felix Featherly"
made hit. and Mr.. Martin Lehman as
major wellington de Boots" was great.
Mr.. Vogelsang as the widows Suitor''
was all that could be desired. Miss
Mamie Short as "Mrs. Featherly," Miss
A. g. Lyford as "Mrs. Wellington de
Boots," Miss Grace Austin as Fanny"
and Mr.. II. Marston as "Trap," sus-
tanned their parts well and aided in max
ing the performance the success it was.
1t is to be hoped that the public has not
seen the last of this clubs work, and it's
members can rest assured that it will
have nothing but crowded houses here
after.

Donahue,s Drunks.

Some time ago Ed Donahue, an old
rounder, was brought before Police
Judge Stanton and given five days. As
soon as he was out he got drunk again,
and that time he got thirty days. Last
Friday, having finished his second term,
he was celebrating it in high style in a
saloon on the corner of First and Main
streets, when the brilliant idea occurred
to him to run off with some of the sup
plies. The purveyor behind the bar
happening to turn his back, Ed grabbed
up bottle and ran. Officer Lennox
collared him before he had got very far,
and he was taken to the station. Yes
terday be came up before Police Judge
Stanton for the third time in straight
succession. The charge OF petit larceny
was not prosecuted: it was drunk and
disorderly.
"This time it will be ninety days."
said the Judge after hearing the evil
dence, "but will give you one chance.
The officers shall not put you in Jail un-
til tomorrow. You will have twenty
four hours in which to leave town, and
when you are separated from your evil
associates, make an effort to REFORM"
Ed thanked His Honor and then went
briskly out OF the courtroom. Last night
about o'clock the patrol wagon drove
up, bearing an officer and man who was
very drunk. They stood him up before
the rail with some difficulty and asked
him his name.
"Ed Donahue. Pm in for it now, you
bet."

The fire alarm rang last night little
after midnight, and the engines re-

is situated at Washington Gardens. The
fire was about half a mile beyond on
Main steet near Jefferson. The barn in
the rear of house owned by Mrs
Mooney, of Santa Monica, at present un-
occupied, had taken fire in some un.
known way, and it burned to the ground
before the Fire Department was able tc
reach the spot. The tank house and
windmill and other small sheds in the
yard caught as the barn was falling in
embers, but these we're rapidly extin.
guished by the engines as soon as they
got down to work. The loss will be be.

THAT USELESS BRIDGE.
Will IL Remain Where IL Is, or I
Removed?

Will IL Remain Where it Is, or be
Removed?
The location of the Ninth street bridge
where it stands unused several months
after it was moved from First street, has
awakened quite an interest in the minds
of the public lately, and before the matter
is finally settled it is likely to give con-
siderable trouble to the present Council.
1t stands in the middle of the river bed,
with stretch of mile of sand between
the western approach and solid ground,
and with bluff rising 100 feet in the air
short distance away in the east. Why
this spot was selected, when on the orig
inal line of the street it would have cost
less to have built the approaches,
and have opened up large country,
none of the present Council know.
At the last meeting of the Council the
Street Superintendent reported that it
would cost 5000 to put the bridge in a
condition where it could be available
from both sides. Since then the Bridge
Committee of the Council has been down
investigating, and u report will probably
be made tomorrow. Several residents
of Boyle Heights said yesterday that
they could see no reason for leaving it
where it is, and that it was placed there
in the interest of persons who owned
four or more 35-acre tracts, through
which street will have to bo cut if it
stays. Ex-Councilman Kercheval, who
lives on this side of the river, just below
the present location, took the opposite
side Of the question, and said he would
guarantee to place the approaches in good
condition, and cut down the bluff, for
81 800, and he thought it could be
done for 81 200. He was of the opinion
that, if left where it is now and the
street cut through, the travel from
Downey will come that way. > On the
other hand it is said that it is too near
Seventh street and that it will be ofsQc
more use for this travel than the Sew
enth-street bridge, which is not far dis
tant. Everybody is of the opinion, how
ever, that it should not be allowed to
remain useless, but should be fixed in
one place or another. The matter will
probably be freely discussed for some
time to come in the Council.
