THE DETECTIVES MASH.

A Young Man Falls in Love With a Lady,
and Then Falls in With the Police
Chief Murphy Lectures on Wayward-
ness.
An arrest cut of the ordinary was made
in Allegheny last night, which resulted In
frightening a young man very badly and
will probably teach him lifelong lesson.
The young mans name would not be told
by the police officials, as they took the
ground that it was not material. They
stated, however, that he was mice" young
man, and say he is o member of the Y.
NJ. c. A.
1t seems he became smitten with pretty
girl whose home is on Cedar avenue. He
knew her name, but had not been formally
introduced to her. He did not know any
of her friends and consequently could not
be taken to call. He resolved then to send
her letter, stating the warm ardor of his
admiration and trust to the kindness of
heart which he was sure she had, Tor a
favorable reply. If she would look with
favor on his suit, would she not meet him
at a given place near the parky He would
be there at any rate on Saturday night, and
if she were agreed would she give certain
signal?
The girl was badly frightened when she
read his misSive, and showed it to a friend,
who, in turn, showed it to her husband. The
latter then showed it to Chief Murphy, and
he fell in with the scheme at once. He ad-
vised the girl to meet her lover, and to give
him the signal he so longed to hear. With
some misgiving the lady esssyed to play her
part, and, nerving herself for the irving
ordeal, she sauntered to the trysting place
and gave the sign. The young man stepped
up, raised his hat and said "good
evening" Before the girl had good
time to faint Detective Donaldson stepped
out from his hiding place close by and also
said good evening. He also asked him to
accompany him to the Mayors Office, and it
was then his turn to faint and he almost
took advantage of it. The strong arm of
the detective, however, braced him up, and
after he had told the girl to run on home he
took the youth before Chief Murphy. That
official read him good fatherly lesson, and
the abject repentance of the boy gained him
his release. He said his home was on Col.

GAME NOT PLENTIFUL
And the Farmers Worry the Hunters as
Much as Ever.

And the Farmers Worry the Hunters as
Much as Ever.
Two tired hunters with good-gized string
OF quail and pheasants. and leading a setter
dog, of which they were not particularly
proud, walked into the Baltimore and Ohio
station yesterday. Everybody was pleased
with the appearance of the birds, and in
short time a crowd had gathered around
them, and they commenced to discuss the
prospects for game this winter.
Hang the farmers" said one of the
hunters. ''They are very mean to US this
season; at least those who lire around
Homer, near Blairsviile, where we shot
these birds, didn't act as if they cared to see
US again. Game is not plentiful this year.
On this trip 1 met with only half the sue
cess did at this time last season, but the
quail and pheasants, as you seq, are large
and fat and when you DO get one you have
very toOthsome dish. But then the mans
crank who is not satisfied with life as he
finds it."

CLUBS Is NOT TRUMP,

But ENeber's Pianos and Organs Are.
The pianos and organs sold by H. Kleber
& Bro. are too good and artistic to be oper-
ated by means Of clubs. They are made to
be played upon by the fingers and hands of
ladies and children, and by artists. People
who insist on using clubs need not apply at
Kleber's for the grand pianos OF Steinway,
Conover, Gabler, Opera, etc., are too far
above the vulgar level of club playing. If
you desire music to cheer the heart, elevate
the spirit, refine the feelings, and delight
the listener, buy one of Kleber's first-class
instruments and possess a joy forever. The
Klebers sell, also, on time payments, S25
down and $40 monitor 81 so week.
The old trusted house of H. Kleber s, Bro,
5O6 Wood street, has the preference over all
others, and hence sells three-fourths of all
the instruments disposed of in this section
of country.

BLAINE HURT HIS FEELINGS.
Ex-senator Emery's Only Regret in the
Late Campaign.


A. II. Logan, formerly partner of eI-
Senator Emery In the oil business, returned
to Philadelphia last evening. Talking
about his friends work in helping to defeat
Delamater, he said: ''Mr. Emery certainly
viudicated his judgement when he said Nc
Kesn and Crawford counties would go DEM
ocratic. The only things that hurt him
during the whole campaign were Blaine's
remarks at Philadelphia. Without nam
ing the ex-senator the Secretary stated that
the attacks on Delamater's record were in
spired by jealousy and came from q man
who was disappointed.
Emery has always been a warm admirer
of Blaine. 1 know him personally, and
when / called his attention last Monday to
what Blaine had said about him, could
see that he was hurt. 1t was the first he had
seen of Mr.. Blaine's remarks. l regard
Emery as a strong factor in Pennsylvania
politics to-day. used so know Senator
Quay quite well. His ability must be con-
ceded by everybody. He once told me
that he commenced to read Latin when he
was years old, and believe him."

DIDN'T MISS A SALOON,
A Peculiar Manner In Which an Election
Bet Was Paid.

n EeCuIar ManDer IN NhlCh an Election
Bet Was Paid.
An election bet was settled in strange
manner on the Southside last evening.
John Bittuer, Republican, had made an
agreement with John Kuntzler, a Demo-
crat, that if PattIson was elected Governor
be would wheel him along Carson street from
South Tenth street to South Twentieth street
in wheelbarrow, and while doing so they
were to stop at each saloon between the
streets named the loser to pay ior the drinks
After being convinced that Pattison was
elected, Bittner set last night as the time
for settling the bet. A large wheel
barrow had been prepared for the oc-
casion, trimmed with flags and bunting.
A large amount of fireworks were put off
at the different points along the route. The
fact that the bet was to be paid was an
nounced early in the day. By the time the
two men were ready to start fully 600 people
had gathered at South Tenth street. After
starting, the first saloon visited was that of
A. Zimmerman's, and none were omitted.
The parade ended at the rooms of the
Murphy Fishing Club, near South Twenty
third street.

A TRAP DOOR AND A FALL
Nearly Causes a Difference of Opinion b.

Nearly Causes Difference of Opinion Be-
tween Ohio Street Storekeepers.
Charles Merker has a saloon on Ohio
street. Allegheny. and David HoIlander is
a neighbor. Mr.. Hollander is a tailor, but
that does not account ior his feeling very
mad yesterday afternoon.
A man delivering beer at the saloon had
occasion to open the trap door for the pur-
pose. He had lowered down a keg of beer
and, descending after it, was engaged in
moving it. About this time Mr.. Hoilander
stepped out Of his store and into the cellar.
The broad back Of the brewers man received
his weight and averted serious injury as a
result OF the fall. What might have ensued
from the sudden encounter of the beer man
and the tailor in such unlocked for circum-
stances if Mr.. Merker had not interfered, is
a matter for conjecture.

PROUD OF HIS RECORD,
Captain Barclay Resents an Imputation on
His Official Character.

His Official Character.
Captain Barclays attention was yester-
day called to the fact that a Washington
correspondent had said Mr.. Bengough had
been instructed to make an examination of
the Pension Office at Pittsburg, and to see
that the accounts are correct before assum-
ing the Office" Captain Barclay said, last
evening, in relation to the matter:
THE statement is false. Mr.. Bengough
will receive no such Instructions. II he
did, he would know nothing OF my accounts.
They arc examined by the Treasury Depart
ment, as am bonded officer-under $780,
900 bonds-and my accounts have always
been promptly forwarded to the depart
ment. In my term OF nearly four years
there has never been a complaint made
against the manner in which my Office was
conducted"

THAT dog will have to ride in the bag

the Pennsylvania Railroad last evening.
She was big and red-faced, and for lack of
something better, probably, to love had set
her heart on a dirty poodle which she held
in her arms with as much care as mother
would her babe. 1t was the old story.
''But will they hurt him?" she said pit
eously. Poor little fellow, you don't
want to ride in the ugly old baggage car,
do yOu," giving the dog an embrace and
kissing him several times on the snout.
But her pleas were in vain, and after
kissing the cur again and again, she left the
car and saw that the animal was safely de-
posted in the baggage car.

consuming, but he admired his nerve.
Going over to his table the friend picked up
the check, and remarked: "This is all
right, old man, will pay it."
Looking up, the wrecks native wit came
to his rescue. "Will you be here again to-
morrow" was his answer, and he smiled,
but it wouldn't go. His eyes filled with
tears, and both parted in silence.
