visitors From Waterbury.

The following notes from the Meriden Journals account of the reception to Nasahogan lodge rendered by Pacific lodge of Meriden Wednesday night shows that the s'boys'' went over for the pur- pose of having gay old time, and they had it:
 Judge George H. Cowell of Waterbury delivered an oration which was right on par with the judges reputation as a forensic orator.
 As the electric cars passed by the pro cession several Waterbury men cried aloud with joy at the spectacle, and for a wonder the trolley staid on.
 Past Grand George Hotchkiss of Pa ciic paved the way in a speech for the Temple quartette of Waterbury who sung nicely.
 The special train took the visitors home at one o'clock. They were al tickled with their visit and went back to tell Waterbury what a bright town Mer' iden is, especially in the evening.
 At one end of tht hall was banner inscribed "Welcome Nosahogan." Chief of-Police George Egan of Waterbury was put on duty and instructed to arrest every man who did not eat. He had nc occasion to exercise his authority.

LAW AND ORDER CASES.

Milkshake Martin Finally Appeals to Court
-CarIisle's Cases.
John A. Martin, the milk dealer OF
Smithield street, yesterday filed appeals In
the Quarter Sessions Court from the decis-
ions of Alderman Carlisle imposing fines of
$25 and costs in two cases of selling milk on
Sunday. In both cases Martin claims that
he had been previously sued for the same
offenses, once before Alderman Reilly and
once before Magistrate McKenna. Both
times he was acquitted, and he holds the
adjudication of Alderman Carlisle was ille-
gal when he had already been tried for the
same thing.
Alderman Carlisle held hearings yester-
day in ten Sunday cases, nine of which he
disposed of, and of one he reserved his de-
cision. Among the more prominent was
that of Druggist Al ]. Kaercher, of ALLIE
gheny, who showed the Alderman that he
had already paid fine to an Allegheny
Alderman for selling on last Sunday, when
his case was discharged. In the case Of
Henry Finkelpearl, the Fifth avenue
druggist, the decision was reserved. A.
Bivalockly, of No. 9 Carson street, charged
with selling pears on Sunday, was fined $50
and costs, as was also William Quinn,
charged with selling lemonade at the Casino
Musee. The three cases of John A. Martin
were continued, at the request of the lat
ter's attorney, until next Thursday.

AN EXCELLENT REMEDY.

How the Dull season Can be Made Bearnble
in Pirtsburg-A sure Prevention for All
Satanic Schemes.
1t is well-known that there are more de-
falcstions and general crookedness among
trusted employees in business houses, banks,
etc., in proportion to population now than
there were halt a century ago. Some at
tribute it to the decentralization consequent
en- the Civil War, others to the growth of
infdelity, others to the growth of anarchical
and sociaIistic ideas, and others again to
something else. This class of rascality is
not furnished by the pauper scum of
Europe.
Who can say that the explanation Of
ancient rectitude is not furnished by a
story told by ex-Mayor Weaver. Mr..
Weaver states that long ago, young men in
Pittsburg were not idlers as a general thing.
At that time the commission shippers
and dealers IN Pittsburg had houses on
Water street, between Smithfeld and Ferry
streets and they monOpolized the space.
One of the principal articles OF commerce.
perhaps the chief, was corn shipped here in
sacks from the Wabash. Among these old
time dealers was John d. Davis, a
very exemplary man, whose righteous
soul was vexed whenever he saw
his clerks idle, fearing that the devil
might have leased their heads for his work.
shops. One summer Mr.. Davis was caught
with the upper story of his warehouse nearly
full of sacked corn. 1t was during the dull
on-midsummer-andM Mr.. Davis clerks,
warehousemen, etc., were idle. While
other firms allowed their men to suck their
thumbs and concoct devilment, Mr.. Davis
devised scheme to keep his at work. So
one day he told them to carry the corn from
where it lay to the other end Of the ware
house, and thus get the rats out Of it, and
kill as many as they could. The men did
as ordered, and in the evening when Mr..
Davis came to see what was done, they told
him they had moved all the corn, but got
only one rat, as the rodents skipped into the
new pile He replied: "WelI, boys, move
it back again tomorrow, and see if you
can't get another rat" And so they
we're kept employed until the
son opened. The men were kept out of mis-
chief, were healthier, mentally, morally and
physically, than they would have been in
idleness, and that corn was the best aired in
the city
1t is suggested that as there is some
grumbling about slow trade, and many
buildings in this "Gas City" are still COW
cred with the CRIME of coal smoke from the
days when it was known as the "Smoky
City," yawning clerks, bookkeepers,
sales ladies, etc., might be set to work to
make the city thing of beauty. 'Twould
be an inspiring sight to see them all
mounted on swinging scaffolds, armed with
soapsuds, steel brushes and sponges, clean
ing all the business houses between the
Point and Union station.

1t is reported that he will defend Flemon or

year by the largest vote ever given to a man In

edge that he had defended and saved more ne
grOes from the gallows than any other man In
the State.
If the Committee of Thirteen would only
come to South Carolina they would soon be
convinced that the Rev. ,Flemon would not
only be ably and fearlessly defended
but also be speedily convinced that
the negro gets absolute Justice in

in our courts white men are too often acquitted

negroes are not unjustly convicted in our
courts.

RATHER CHEAP RICE.

Though Ready Sailed, it Sold for Away
Down at Auction.
Some time since a consignment of 200
sacks of ground rice, $4,000 pounds, to D..
Lutz & Son, of Allegheny, was received at
the West Penn Railroad freight station and
refused by the consignees on the ground
that the greater portion of it was deprecated
by being wet with sea water. The rice was
accordingly offered at public sale, yester-
day, by the railway company, through
james W. Drape, auctioneer. Although
the auctioneer dwelt on the fact that
"a sacks were not wet and
consequently in good shape for manipula-
tion. either for pudding or beer making,
and the remaining 176 sacks were ready
salted, supposedly to suit the taste of the
innumerable population of the Atlantic
Ocean, there were few of the crowd present
who seemed to have any desire to invest,
and the buyers evidently ''got pudding"
or the material to make great many of
them, very cheaply.
The 26 unsalted sacks were first offered
and sold at 81 80 per cwt. The 176 sacks of
salted stuff hung on the auctioneer's hands
for a considerable time, and were finally
knocked down to a brewing firm in Pitts
burg at a dollar a sack, notwithstanding the
vehement assertion of the auctioneer that
their contents would make excellent pud-
dinps
