GETTING RID OF THE GUN.
A Colored Cook in Sailors Boarding
House Peaches on q Crook.

House Peaches on e Crook.
Detective .Wetherhorn arrested Fred Fur
long yesterday on warrant sworn out by
M. s. Henson, charging Furlong with the
larceny of pistol. A search warrant was
sworn out. but Furlong sent the pistol by
Mike Puertsel to Jake Kraft, and Jake told
Mike to throw it in the river, which he did
Puertsel and Kraft were arrested, aud all
three gave bond.
1t appears from the confession of Kraft
that Furlong did not have anything to do
with the theft or even knew who the
weapon belonged to. Furlong, who keeps a
sailors boarding house near East Broad
and Bay street lane had a falling out with
his colored housekeeper Lilly Curry, who
told about the stealing of the pistol by
Kraft, and its coucealment in Furlongs
house, where Kraft and Puertsel, deserting
sailors, board.
All three of the accused gave bond, and
Henson told a MORNING NEWS reporter
that he would withdraw the charge against
Furlong
The place kept by Furlong appears to be
resort for sailors who have deserted their
vessels, and Lilly Curry, the housekeeper,
says she got beating from Furlorg on
account of Krafts' talk Kraft confesses
that he is deserter from the Norwegian
bark Diamond, which sailed from this port
four months ago. Henson is out British
bulldog revolver, which Kraft says he took
when he was drunk

AwoUNDED MAN BUTTEREp.
The Novel Remedy Used by Barkeep
er Who Turned Doctor.

From the Chicago Herald.
In one of the popular downtown luch-
rooms the lunchers sit at long tables and
help themselves to butter from large-size
roll, which is placed on a plate near the
center of each table. The other day the
table nearest the front door was fully &C.
cupied, and young man near one end was
just reaching for the butter, when the door
was thrown open with a jarring bang, and
bareheaded man, whose face was flushed
with excitement and who wore long white
apron dashed in with a bound, rushed over
to the table mentioned, grabbed up the
whole roll of butter and then tore out
again with it in his hand. The young man
who had been reaching out for the butter
fell off of his chair and the other guests
were greatly excited at the strange and
sudden incident. A few of the cooler heads
took advantage of this excitement to put
| their checks in their pockets and sneak out
without obeying the injunction, please paw
at the deskn
One of these people had seen the excited
young man disappear with his butter in a
doorway just across the street, and his Gu
riosity prompted him to follow. The place
was swell saloon, and the young man was
evidently the barkeeper It appears that
two or three of his customers had been
standing in front of the bar examining an
old dueling pistol. One of them raised its
hammer, saw no cap on the nipple. and
supposed it was not loaded. He blew in the
muzzle and was just removing it from be-
tween his lips when the hammer fell, there
was binding flash and report, and the
poor fellow received the entire rusty charge
full in the face. He fell to the floor and
every one became crazy with excitement.
Only the barkeeper had presence of mind,
and as soon as the man fell he darted out of
the door and across the street. returning
quickly with the butter.
Kneeling at the wounded mans side, he
smeared this butter all over his torn aud
powder-stained face and rubbed it in vigor-
ously. Then he threw a handkerchief over
the face and helped convey the man to the
rear room. Meantime some one had gone
for doctor, and he soon arrived When
he saw the man heinquired: "What's that
stuff on his faceg
The barkeeper told him what he had done.
"Wel,n said the physician, ''you saved
him from being disfigured for life by your
prompt action. That grease has kept the
powder from getting in under the skin, and
| can pick it all out" Luckily there was
nothing but powder in the pistol. The
grains were picked from the young mans
face, and now he is as good as now, two
deeply imbedded particles of powder at the
side of his nose being the only visible marks
of the accident He will never blow into
another pistol, and will always regard
presence of mind as a wonderful trait in
anY man

The Matter Being Discussed by the
City Council


The question Of opening Bull street, south
OF Anderson street, to Seventh street,
brought out lively debate between Alder

Alderman Fallgant on the other, in the

city should so into the expense of getting
rights of way, Alderman Harmon claiming
that it will require not less than $50, QUO to
S70,000to open the street along the line south

expensive it will be in the end. A resolution
by Alderman Falligant was adopted

lanes to learn upon what terms the street

How They Were Made.

The above savory breakfast batter
cakes, worthy, as it seems, of the poets
pen, were probably made as follows: At
night make thick batter OF pure buck
wheat -four and water. Add fresh yeast
cake and let it rise until morning, when it
should be very light. If it is a trife sour,
it is all the better. Add very littlesoda,
just enough to counteract the acid, lit
tie salt and enough sweet milk to make
the batter thin enough. Do not add any
more -four.
Have the griddle very hot and fry
delicate brown. Send only few to the
table at time, SO as to have them hot.
Cold buckwheat batter-cakes' are an
abomination. AS the poem suggests,
have some pure maple syrup to eat
on them if you can get it. Ifany of the
batter is left over, it is better than new
yeast for the next mornings cakes. Not
over three times, however, should it be used
in this way.
We remember of hearing of lady who
utterly refused to eat a buckwheatb batter
cake unless it was perfectly round. While
thismay seem to be theextreme of fastidi=
ousnicety, thereis no need of ofsend.in -
to the tablein alleo--~~s'f0f'relesS'H i0s ui"i
sl.s,,,rs. There is a nice way OF doing
everything, even when it comes to the
most approved shape of buckwheat
batter-cake.

Who Are the Neatest, the Men or the
Women?

So much has been said in all of our.
household literature regarding the habits
of neatness in person and dress of the
housekeeper, as well as the best methods
of keeping the house orderly, that one
would naturally conclude that women
were the only creatures living who needed
any advice or instruction on that point.
One would almost think, in reading all
this good advice, that they were natural
ly slatterns, whereas to their great cred
it, it is said by a recent writer, and one
who has Travelled extensively, that "the
American women are the neatest the
world over" Certainly the desire to be
neat and clean for their own comfort, as
wellrass ssthatl of others, although there
may be many exceptions where it is
thought they may be free from criticism,
is~.one. which is innate with any sensible
woman.
: Perhaps this same excellent character
istic of our American women may also bt
ascribed,sst Bthel.men,s sbut Hthercircum
stances in which they are placed happily
preserves them from adverse criticism

badly, SO | Thought an awning covered

them together in square, and to this
frame fastened two other pieces, making
triangular sides. j..
This affair can be easily nailed over the
top of the window frame. Within this tri-
angular space can be fastened old
barrel hoops, or some other small strips.
/ trained the moon-fower vine all over
this frame so completely that it was one
