A Specuiator's Adventure.

Little JOHNNY Dorian, who lives at River
side, y. j, yesterday owned a new straw
hat, a dime and "A penny worn by current use
-sI~or-y hrsgbtue--- He tied the hat 10 a
coat button, because light breeze was ruff
fling the surface of the Passaic river, and
went down to the Erie railroad TO watch the
trains passing. He had not wholly decided
what use TO make of the dime, but he knew
very well how to put the cent where it would
do the most good He was acquainted with
a boy who was willing to pay two cents for
the coin if il was fiattened under the wheels
of train of cars, and Johnny, who is only s
years of age, but has the financiering spirit
of Jay Gould, intended to invest his penny so
as TO realize cent per cent profit.
He reached n spot where there was nobody
to interfere with his speculation. An after
noon train, on its way to Jersey City, and
not more than 200 yards distant, was run
ming at high speed. Hastily selecting coin,
he placed it on the rail The train was very
close to the spot where he was standing
when he discovered that he had made blum
der. The penny was still in his pocket, and
the conclusion was unavoidable that the
dime was in front of the locomotive.
Johnny rushed forward 1t was an awful
ly dangerous thing to do, but he was not a
boy to hesitate when ten cents were at stake,
An incautious step Frustrated him, and the
wind from the whirling train tore his hat
from its fastening carried II under the
wheels, and it was seen no more. His head
could not have been more than twelve inches
from the cars as they swept past. The dime
was not found 1t had either been ground
out of recognition or 1t had stuck fast TO one
of the wheels
so you lost ten cents and your hat by
your follyf' said a friend of the boys father
when he heard the story later in the day.
"Oh, no." replied Johnny, weeping 81
only lost nine cents and the hat / fattened
the penny under the next train and sold il
for two cents."-New York Sun.

A Fire en- the Island.

There was disastrous fire on Offer

hours of 10 and II o'clock. Mr.. Frank
Inns family and hired help we're about to
retire for the night, when they were
startled by blaze in the direction of the
hay sled, barn, ice house and hennery.
all of which were burned to the ground.
A one hundred foot barn. twenty tons
of hay, two horses, a colt and COW per-
ished. together with thirty chickens.
The residents on the island succeeded in
rescuing two cows, two horses and a colt
which was the only stock housed. The
chickens in the hennery did not all escape;
about thirty birds went up in the flames
The hay shed was stored with thirty
tons OF hay, while the barn contained five
tons of hay. a quantity of corn and the
summers crop of oats-about 400 bushel
The ice house was partly filled and will be
the least loss.
The reflection of the fire extended to
the bridge. People living on back streets
were fearful that the lower mill was on
fire as the smoke and fame for distance
appeared to be on their premises. Mr.
Franklin will rebuild at once. The fire
was undoubtedly of incendiary origin.
Three young men landed on tie island
yesterday afternoon to hunt and gather
nuts. Mr. Franklin ordered them of
when one of the party threatened to shoot
him. They were seen afterwards to row
around the island and pass down the
slough. They will be arrested and COM

Fosters Celery Ton.

The Chicago Herald of today has the
following concerning Hon. w. A Foster,
the former Davenport attorney. now one
of the counsel for the defense in the Cro>
min murder trial:
Attorney Foster, who is representing
O'Sullivsn. is a well knit Iowsn with blue
eyes. a wild rose complexion and hair so
red that it looks like fire in soap fur>
nance. Mr.. Foster takes much pride in
his hair. He curls it every morning on a
red hot silver dollar and then grains 1t
with coarse comb. the teeth OF which
are covered with bears grease. Mr..
Foster is lawyer from away back. He
is probably as big a weight as the de-
Tense can boast. He made an enviable
record in his defense of the anarchists
against the most discOuraging odds. Mr..
Foster has a pleasing delivery and fine
presence. One of his favorite attitudes
when addressing a jury is to plant one
leg upon the seat of chair. level his arm
over the Bonded knee and shake pale,
CHASTITY. freckled finger at the faces be-
fore him. MIR. Foster is not much of q
wit. but there is something fresh about
his hun or that makes one think of corn
cribs, and sweet cider and mince pies.
