FIXING THE DAMAGES.
A Baggageman Who Found Much More
Than His Match.

Than His Match.
While we were waiting at Trenton Tor
the Long Branch train a lot Of baggage had
to be transferred. The manner in which it
was handled excited the indignation OF
score of passengers, but no one wanted
"scene" and no protests were made until
the last trunk was reached. 1t was an or
binary size trunk, well strapped, and stout
enough to 60 around the world with fair
usage. The man on the truck ended it up,
gave it twist and fling, and it struck on
the end with crash and burst open. The
owner had been quietly surveying the oper-
atoms, and as the climax came he stepped
forward and asked:
"How much will it take to repair that
"Hanglfno," was the reply, followed by
a chuckle.
"Then will post you in your business"
quietly remarked the passenger:
He was a solid, broad-shouldered man,
and with one grab he had the baggageman
by the hip and shoulder and held him aloft
as if he had been a bundle Of hay.
whats the damageY he asked as he pre-
pared for heave.
"Here-stop-hold on-don'tp' shouted
the terrified destroyer of baggage.
whats the damage to my trunk|
"Five dollars, and I'll pay it!'
sob, you will? Very well"
His victim had scarcely reached his feet
when he fished up So bill. His face was
whittier than flour, and he trembled SO that
he had to sit down.
Don't you forget that passengers trunk
has all the rights Of passenger" said the
man rs he turned away to light cigar and
walk I'D and down.
"Who is he's" asked Of the man on my
left.

Justice of the Peace at the coming election.
Mr.. Colwell is young attorney who came
to this city about year ago from Fresno.
Gertie Pullman, daughter of Mrs. E. O.
Pullman Of Regent street. had her leg
lacerated in painful manner few days
ago by falling from tricycle..
City Attorney E. K. Taylor says that there
is no truth in the statement that he is de-
sirous of securing the Republican nomina-
field clear to Mr.. Reed. the incumbent.
Four boys from San Francisco whose
ages ranged from 6 to II years were taken
into custody Thursday evening as run
Always. One Of them had stolen So, and the
quartet started out to see the world. They
were turned over to the San Francisco
officers.
The residents of the West End seem to
be almost unanimously in favor of the
proposition to have the names of the cross
streets changed to numbers. They think
that the change would tend to benefit the
city. The principal opposition to the pro-
ject comes from Park street and vicinity.
The matter will most likely be finally deter
mined at the meeting of the Trustees Mon
daY eYaning.

FORGERY AND FRAUD.

swindIer of Local Merchants Arres,e ed
in Sacramepto.
A dispatch from Chief of Police Drew of
Sacramento was received yesterday by
Chief Crowley, stating that the Sacramento
police had arrested a man who is wanted in
this city on charge of swindling mer-
chants on the water front.
An unknown man has done quite lucra-
tive business of late by representing him
self as a collector for different firms and
collecting checks and money from mer-
chants on steamer day. On one occasion
he secured as much as $500. One of his
most recent exploits was his collection of a
$40 bill from Smiths Cash Store on Front
street. for which he gave a receipt signed
" Getz Bros" The exact total amount of
his swindling transactions is not yet known
to the police, and probably will not be until
business men. who now believe that they
paid their respective accounts to the regu-
lar collector, will receive bill for the
money.
His scheme of changing the checks into
coin worked well enough for time, but in
the end entrapped him. 1t had been his
custom to cash the paper in country banks
lie was caught trying TO get cash in Sacra-
mento by this means.
Who he is, or whether he has criminal
record, is yet unknown at police headquar-
tiers here. Detective Silvey will go to Sac
ramento and bring him to this city.

Postoffice Inspector A. r. Holmes and Cap

four offices, and his would make the twenty

compel the inspector to exhibit his creden-

he would invariably say: Il am sorry you
are short. Please give me all Government
funds on hand that may see just how you
stand"
After receiving the money he would make
an excuse TO step out, and after some hours
the Postmaster would come to his senses
enough to realize he had been yictimized.
This was done in several places in North
ern Ohio, the last being Postm aster WASH
burn at Mcclure, Henry County, Ohio. He
has for several months been a sort of agent
or representative of the Grammar Detective
Bureau, although Manager Grammar had
never seen him, he having been employed
on written application, backed by excellent
Endorsements. AS soon as Captain Grammar
located him in this city he came here and
demanded him summarily.

SWARMING INSECTS.

How Stanley Was Beset in the Great
African Forest.
We do not care to probe into that mighty
mass of dead tree. brown and porous as a
sponge, Tor already it is mere semblance
of PROSTATE log. Within it is alive with
minute tribes. 1t would charm an entomol-
ogist. Put your ear to it and you hear dis
tinet murmurous hum. 1t is the stir and
movement of insect life in many forms,
matcbless in size, glorious in color, radiant
in livery. rejoicing in their occupations, ex-
ulting in their fierce and brief life, most in
satate of their kind, ravaging, foraging,
lighting, destroying, building and swarmifg
everywhere and exploring everything. Lean
but your hand on a tree, measure but your
length on the ground, seat yourself ON a
fallen branch and yOu will then understand
what venom. fury, voracity and activity
breatheS around you.
Open your notebook, the page attracts q
dozen butterflies. honey-bee hovers over
your hand, other forms of bees dash for
your eyes, wasp buzzes in your ear, huge
hornet menaces your face, an army of piS-
mlres comes marching to your feet Some
are already crawling up and will presently
be digging their sclssor-like mandibles in
your neck. Woe, woe!
And yet 1t Is all beautiful-but there must
be no sitting or laying down on the seething
earth. 1t is not like your pine groves and
your dainty woods in England. 1t is tropic
world and to enjoy it you must keep slowly
moving ''In Darkest Africa"

The Novel Way in Which Young Man
Obtains Ready Cash.
A new scheme to yictimize retail jewelers.
has been devised in New York. A young
man enters jewelry-store. and, after push
ing his elbow through the showcase, begins
to apologize to the owner for the alleged ac-
cident and argues that the glass must have
been very thin. When he processes the
utmost sorrow for the occurrence the jew
eler demands reimbursement for his loss,
but the man claims he has no money with
which to pay.
Al he speaks the victim notices S20-bill
peeping from the strangers pocket. and in
an instant has snatched it and is handing
the man ST. in change. saying as he does so
that he has deducted So for the damage.
Tho swlndler appears satisfied and leaves
the store with sorrowful expression on his
c0untenance. Presently the jeweler takes
another look at his cash, and then discovers
that the bill he has taken was one of 81
raised to $50.
This game was recently successfully OPP
Grated, and when arrested the swindler

The upholaterers' Union Gradually Win

The upholsterers afford the best possible
example there is of the virtue Of persistence
1t is not a great while since this union sprang
into existence with mere handful of men,
and found the trade in discouragingly un.
organized and demoraIized condition The
city contains probably $50 upholsterers, and
now about three-fourths of that number have
gone to swell the ranks of the little parcel of
men who originally conceived and carried into
execution. the idea of organizing an up
holsterers' union.
The result of this banding together has
been the Strengthening of the trade in every
respect Wages are better, work more
plentiful, and the system of work more uni
form and satisfactory all around The
union now fully expects before the close of
the year to embrace every shop in the city
and find every upholsterer enrolled as
member.
Feeling in certain sense allied to their
kindred workmen, the furniture-w workers,
they have decided instead of undertaking
to make a display by themselves on Labor
day to unite with the furniture-workers.
The two unions combined will make prob
ably between 800 and 400 in line.

NO DISCRIMINATION.

The Molders Insist on Having n Fair
Show-DonatiOns.
The Molders' Union had another serious
question under discussion last night. For some
time past they have noticed tendency on the
part of machine-shops, boiler-shops and local
customers to give all plain work to non-union
Shops that is, shops under the ban Of the
strike, and all complicated work that they
were particularly anxious to have well done
would be sent to the union shops.
The union thinks this is unfair diScrimina-
ton, and after long and careful consideration
of the matter has decided to discountenance it.
Hereafter the union will insist that these shops
and customers give plain and complicated
work alike to the union shops or the whole will
be refused.
The unions agents in the East have re-
ported that they have succeeded in stopping
large part of the work sent there from the
non-union shops of this city, and the outlook
is good that such work will finally be run out
altogether.
Following is a list of the unions and individ-
uals from whom donations have been received
during the past week:
