Hut He Couldn't.

From the Detroit Free Press.
A couple of men who were playing cards
in q Michigan avenue saloon he other
day got into a dispute, and n of them
brought his fist down upon the table with
the EXPLANATIONS:
~ can lick you out Of your boots in two
minutes!"
"Oh, mol"

"But | know I cam"
The mild-manncred man turned to the
crowd and asked:
Father. Bill, Jim, Tom, Henry, Wal.

rear that? Mother and Ann and Betsey
are not here, but | guess we can do him."

Increased Patronage and Improve.
mentS on the w. & .. r. r.

By all odds the longest passenger trains leav-
ing this city are the 4:45 P, NJ. daily trains of
the Washington and Ohio Division of the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad, which run to
Round Hill, Va, near the Blue Ridge Noun
tains. The immense patronage of this road is
explained by the fact that since it has become a
part of the Richmond and Danyille system it
has steadily improved. New steel rails, good
ballasting, and comfortable coaches make a
wonderful contrast to what the searchers after
pure air and attractive summer homes found
very few years ago when travelling over this
road. This summer new waiting stations have
been built at all the flag stations. General Pas
senger Agent James L.. Taylor has issued his
annual Summer Homes pamphlet, which
gives all information as to terms, ETC., at desir-
able resorts along this and all of the divisions
of the Richmond and Danville system, to be had
at the office, 1900 Pennsylvania avenue. There
is no place within equal distance of the city
where little teething children and GONZALES
cents can derive so much benefit as in the
country of the Blue Ridge region, through
which the Washington and Ohio passes.

UNGUARDED GRAVES.
They Excite Apprehensions of Resurrec-
tionists in ..Ipse'sn Mind.

tionists in 'Ipse's" Mind.
ANACoSTIA, Aug. S.-This article is notaimed
at the reader in the spirit of ghost story 1t is
warranted to be true, or the readers time will
be refunded. l wish to absolve my Imagination
from any interference in this affair Although
the said imagination is four.ply rapid-transit
growth of spontaneous combustion, it has been
kept chained in the back yard
A mile or so from where the Eastern Branch
licks its shady shore the traveller sees cemetery
high inclosed with a wooden fence, wherein
have been inhumed bodies by the score and
wherefrom have been exhumed bodies to about
the same number Such, at least, is the common
belief. Situated on a country road deserted
the midst of unfrequented fields and lonely
woods, it lies unguarded-the stamping ground
for ghouls 1t is here, it is believed that resur-
rectionists raise crops of cadaver for the medical
graves by day and sleeps peacefully
at home by night. Any biped shark with
dark night and a spade can make these
graves hold up their hands and disgorge
their prey. Many ex-mortals are grubbed up
swindled of their burial clothes, and subdi-
vided into chops before their living kindred
have had time to mop away the optic dew and
forget the dead. How quick these resurrec-
tionists are 1t is wrong, even in the interest
of science, to take advantage of the absence of
stones here are monumental lies and the empty
billows but mockery to bluff the pilgrim and
cheat him of his sympathy. 1t is not so much
the indgnity to the dead that we complain of,
but the injustice to the quick. Man at best is
but highly polished animal furnished with all
modern conveniences and when he dies. like
the inferior organisms from which evolved he
decompOses. Spiritualism and its aliases is a
possibility, but it is in such an experimental
stage that accept it under protest and believe
it at a heavy discount This page of
tears is wept upon the columns Of The
HERALD for the friends of those who
have gone to their last long home and the
dissecting table on the same trip. Enlist a
night watchman and then watch him. When
the friends and relatives who have been respect
fully invited to attend go to the expense of get
ting clergyman to preach jugful of oratorical
moasses over the career of the dear departed,
and give him brass band send off, it is only
fair that the life-fown body should remain
where they put it, No stiff-hunter has any es-
tate, right, title, or interest in it. An adequate
nocturnal night watchman would estop bar,
and serve writ of ejectment on him. No
resurrectionist should be admitted except on
business.

ously displayed in Mr.. Sylvester's cabinet.
Then there are the knives which were used in
various murders as that of BENZ Hawkins s
wife 10y that individual in South Washington.
Dorsey Luber killed James Payne with Knife,
and Dorsey Fultz, in the Reform SCHOOL, used
one too energetically in his efforts after reform,
the result being the death of fellow-inmate.
Thomas Carter and John Brown each used
knives in attempts to murder.
There is one large selfcocking revolver,
which George Bush used to murder Officer A.
NJ. Crippen and Osborne Basey on the 5th of
November, 1889. But the most dangerous look
ing Of all the revolvers is tremendous one of
ancient pattern, which finds place in the lower
part OF the case. This is of the old powder and
cap pattern, but in the instance of the murder
by which it came into its present possession
In place of bullet 1t was loaded with another
cartridge for revolver of smaller calibre
This pistol is at least a foot in length.
Formerly it was the custom to deliver con-
hscated property to the claimant In open police
court upon the verdict of the Judge, but of late
MI sylvester, the property clerk, has refused
to surrender revolvers and razors to the owners
he also refuses to sell them at auction at
given time, as was formerly the case, and in
consequence he has on his hands at present a
bushel or two of firearms of various descrip-
uon, including razors and knives. He thinks
something should be done to dispose of this
mass OF articles. In speaking of their disposi-
ton, he said:
Formerly when I sold the pistols at auctions
in great many cases the former owners would
purchase them, and have known the same re-
volver to come back to this Office three or four
times There seems to be a peculiar attraction
about them, and their owners will do ANYTHING
to get them back. l think there should be
made some provision for destroying them
They might be burned or thrown into the river,
and thus effectually disposed of -

Hanny Fishermen.

THE SUNDAY HERALD Fishing Club, chaper-
oned by Mr., Edgar Thompson, took their
maiden trip on Wednesday of last week, their
destination being Bryant's Point, on the Lower
rotoRac h Ine parry tet AIeTaRdra Ale =, on board
saying that the larder of the yacht was stocked
with the best the market affords. The run to
the fishing banks was made in the quickest
time on record, thanks to the skillfu handling
of the valves by Engineer Charles w. Moore,
The catch of fish was phenomenal, and excited
the Indignation Of the Maryland authorities,
who came around aud chased the boys away
by using the gunboat that is employed in de-
stroying oyster pirates. Among the party were
Commodore John Donnelly, Messrs. William
Simonds, D. George Marders, Isaac b. Field,
Charles W. Moore, Frank NJ Hill, r. Lee
Maxwell, Bernard Donnelly, and Capt. August
Gaines. On the return trip the ''merry fisher
men, were met at River ViUw by their 'fsher-
dancing and indulging in the giddy whirl of the
roller-coaster.

The Improvement in the whole list however,
received great impetus in the last hour by the
announcement that Judge Cullen, in Bronklyn.
had issued an injunction granting a stay OF
proceedings under the late judgment until the
hearing to be held next Saturday. Upon this
sugar, which had recovered portion of its
loss made sudden jump to 81, a gain of per
cent from its lowest point, and checked the de-
clining tendency which had appeared in the
market upon realizations. Lackawanna led
in this reaction and lost about ~ per
jumped. and last prices are generally at
or near the best os the day, the close
being active and strong at the Improvement.
The commission brokers are compelled to re-
strict trading of their customs on account of
the scarcity of time money, there being none
vet offered by any of the New York institu-
all in the direction of higher figures, and
among the most important gains sugar is up

prices there before the opening OF this market

NEW YORK STOCKS.
An Inactive Market, but 1t Picked Up Later
in the Day-The Bulls Are Building on
the Return of Gould From Boston.

NEW YORK, November 26.-The stock mar
ket to-day was less active than that of yester-
day, but as no one expected any activity at all
the little that was shown during the latter por-
ton of the day was somewhat of a surprise as
was also the undoubted strength disulayed in
all parts of the list, as the general impression
had been that declining tendency would pre-
vail. The bulls, however, are calculating upon
Nj. .Gould's return from Boston to inaugurate a
movement. There was no need of waiting
for that however, as the events of the
day sufficiently proved, and again
marked the early dealings. The final
gains are large in some cases and in few stocks
is there any decline whatever. The dullness
and heaviness of the opening was in part due
TO the continuation of the reaction of yesterday
and partly due to the selling of the foreigners
on the disquieting news from South America,
but the London market showed no weakness
for American stocks even after prices had
been forced down here by raid in the first
half hour. and the foreigners suddenly
changed front, becoming liberal buyers where
was accompanied by reports that there was
fatal disagreement among the Sugar Trustees
and tnat some OF the assets were unavailable
and the bears paid particular attention 10
sugar forcing it from 81 to IS Pacific Mail
yielded "a. Northern Pacific preferred l per
cent and other leading stocks fractional
amounts At the concessions, however,
course of prices was soon changed. and the
early losses in the general list were quickly
made up with fractions in addition. Union
Pacific, st. Paul and Rock Island led in this
movement throughout, and from the lowest
points advances from 2 to points were scored.
