"PIG IN THE PEN"
Another Conspiracy IN Foot to Create a
Boom In Lunacy.

Another Conspiracy IN Foot to Create
Boom In Lunacy.
by Jove, did it p This was the ex.
clamation that greeted the reporters ears
as he entered one of the departments of the
county government yesterday in search of
news. The speaker was seated in chair,
with his feet on q desk. and had been
deeply engrossed with the manipulation of
circular pasteboard conference.-the the
inverted cover of small bandbox-parti-
toned off, al regular intervals. with strips
of the same material and of equal hight
with the outer rim. These partitions were
not continuous. each having small open
ing or gap. In the center was little pen,
covered over and with a small opening.
Four or FIVE marbles rolled out of ii as the
manipulation looked up from his task, and
they went spinning around in the several
grooves. 1t was explained to the inquisi
tive reporter that the trick consisted in
concentrating all the marbles lone at
timel in the center pen The deputy
official had labored for an hour or so-with
an energy worthy of a better cause-to get
ali the marbles or ''pigs" into the pen, and
his success called for the exclamation that
had startled the visitor on entering.
Proceeding to another department the
reporter found business at standstill,
while all the attaches and a few lawyers
were gathered in group in one corner.
Investigation revealed another case OF pig
in the pen" rising young lawyer sat on
j table with one Of the puzzles in his
ands, and be was vainly trying TO coax
the truant spheres into the central recep-
tacle Long the struggle continued, and yet
the perspiring attorney remained the CEN
trail figure of the interested group. 1t is
not known whether he succeeded in cor
railing all his ''piggies" or not, but he bore
on his face the expression of man deter
mined to stay with the puzzle, if it took
all summer TO beat it.
Shortly afterwsrd the reporter entered a
street car. There were four or five passen-
gers in the car. and among the number
was man, nearing the autumn OF life.

who had in his hand circular package at
which he cast frequent and anxious chances.
After while all the passengers but two
had left the car, and the owner of the mys-
ferrous package-unable longer to restrain
his evident longing to open it-timidly
and sheepishly removed its covering.
and To- there stood revealed another
/" pig in the pen continuance.
The man tried to appear unconcerned
about it, but presently he began to tip it this
way and that in the endeavor to get the
marbles to the center. The driver stopped
the car in front of the puzzle crank's resi-
dence just as the latter had got two of the
recalcitrant ''piggies'' within the pen, and
these persisted in running out to see what
had become of their companions when
ever the thing was tilted to one side. The
man told the driver that he had business
few blocks farther on before going home,
which was palpable falsehood. for all he
wanted was time to fight the puzzle to I'm
ish, if possible. When the end of the road
was reached there were still two marbles
without the inner circle, and it is not
known whether the venerable swineherd
has yet succeeded in getting them corraled,
nor whether he has yet reached the bosom
of his family.
The prospect is that the Commissioners
of Lunacy will soon have boom in their
business.

Wreck of a Bridge.

One of the cables Of the wire bridge
across the Costumes river, near Live Oak,
parted on Sunday last while large drove
of sheep were being driven across, and the
structure was completely wrecked. About
400 sheep went down with it and 100 were
killed or drowned. The sheep had once
crossed the bridge, but were driven back
by some dogs, and ii was while so many
were gathered in one place upon the
structure that it collapsed. One of the men
engaged in driving the sheep was on the
bridge when it gave way, but managed to
reach the end in time to save himself.

L4citement Caused by the Freaks OF an
Insane Person.
Yesterday forenoon well-known citizen,
whose mind has been more or less affected
for some time past, had a rather bad attack.
Seeing lady driving down NJ street in a
carriage, he rushed into the street and
grabbed her horse by the head, bring him
to such sudden halt as to almost throw
the lady over the dashboard. He chung
desperately to the bride until large crowd
had gathered, when several men went to
the lady's rescue and removed the unfortu-
nate man.
Prior to this demonstration he dashed
from his house as venerable citizen was
passing, and pointing his finger at him de-
clared, in very violent manner: You're
traitor to the STATED" The venerable citi-
zen evidently mistook the mans finger for
pistol-barrel, for he lit out with the
agility of youth, and was running at last
accounts. The cause of these two rights
was finally removed for safe-keeping.

Pa,pfu, Accident Last Evening.

About o'clock last evening Ernest
Graham, an employee of the Golden Eagle
Hotel, while riding on horseback met with
a severe accident. He was passing the
Golden Eagle and Capital Hotels when his
horse slipped and fell with him. One OF
Graham's legs was caught beneath the
horse, and when he was extracted it was
found that from the knee to the ankle the
limb was badly injured. Although it is
believed that no bones are broken, the
sprain is so severe that it will be many
weeks before he will be able to be about.

The Instructions Given to Our Samoan
Commissioners.

WASHINGTON, April 16th.-As the American
delegates TO the Samoan Conference are on their
way to Berlin, the State Department has seen
fit to express to certain extent the attitude of
the Government in the matter. 1t is stated
that this attitude will not differ greatly from
that under the past Administration. 1t is said
that there is no interest in Samoa which per-
haps is in itself of sufficient importance to the
United States to desire war over, but il is of as
much importance to this Government as 10 Ger
many, and the latter country must find it to her
interest to have a peaceful settlement of the
affair.
Our Commissioners will insist upon the au-
tonomy of Samoa, and the absolute non-inter-
ference by Germany in the nations affairs. The
only interference that will be tolerated will be
that of the three Powers, by mutual consent to
restore order among the natives and to place
them upon peaceful and prosperous footing and
good offices in this direction cannot be such as
the independence of the Samoan Government.
The existing legitimate Government must be
recognized and the Commission will not consent
to any such indemnity being demanded of King
Mataafa, for killing OF German sailors in battle
as will give Germany claim upon the island.
In other words, Germany must be content to &C.
cupy relations with the SamOans that is occu-
pied by this country and by England. In view
of the fact that Pango Pango harbor is about the
only one in the vicinity of much value and the
United States has control of it by treaty right
there Will doubtless be considerable discussion
over that harbor, and perhaps an attempt may
be made by The German Commissioners to dis
attempt to secure equal rights with America in
that harbor.
The American Commissioners are well in
formed on the question at issue and will be
fully sustained by the State Department in hold
lug TO the position Claimed to be the right one.
