JOHN BORDEN UNDER ARREST.
His Bail Was Forfeited and More Will Be
Needed to Get Him Out.


John Borden, for whom C. L. Magee says
Mayor Gourley tried to get police protec-
tion, after having been indicted for highway
robbery by the grand jury, was arrested
yesterday morning and taken to Gen.
tral station, where he still remains.
County Detective Beltzhoover says Borden's
friends were around yesterday ready to put
up 81, 600 bail for him If needed, but the bond
cannot be accepted until the court opens
tomorrow. The reason Borden has been at
liberty so long as explained by Mr.. BeltZ-
hoover is that Borden came back to Pitts
burg last September and went into court,
where he put up bail in the amount of 5000
for his appearance for trial in the September
term.
There being so many criminal cases on the
calender Borden's was overlooked, and the
term ended without his being tried. His
bondsman failed to renew the bond at the
end of the term, and, as is customary in such
cases, the bond was forfeited. At the fol-
lowing term of court the Borden case was
not brought before the court and the young
man has been at liberty in the city ever
since.
Inspector McAleese says he was not aware
that Borden had been in the city or he
would have had him arrested and turned
over to the District Attorney to do what he
thought proper. The Inspector never knew
until yesterday that Borden had been under
bail. He will send the prisoner to Jail, ac-
cording to District Attorney Johnston's in
structions, this morning.

Objected to a Quartet of Bridges.

The hearing before Commissioner W. A.
Schmidt in the case of the Coal Exchange
versus the Panhandle Pittsburg, Bellevue
and steubenville Bridge Companies was con-
tinued yesterday. The complaint is that the
bridges are not high enough, nor is there
sufficient distance between the piers of the
channel spans. Twenty-one river men gave
testimony to the above effect yesterday
before the commissioner.

NOW IN ITS NEW QUARTERS.
The Pension Office Is Now Installed in I'll
Old University Building.

II
Old University Building.
The pension office has been removed from
its old quart rs on Third avenue to larger
premises in the old University building,
Ross and Diamond streets. The removal of
the archives and office paraphernalia was
commenced on Saturday and yesterday the
Office force was just about comfortably at
work. Three extensive room5 on the first
floor are occupied, and while the arrange
ments are not altogether convenient, the
staff will have fairly comfortable quarters
until the Federal building is finished.
Pension Agent H. H. Bengough said YES
terday that his district had abont $4,000 pen-
sioners and this number was increasing at
about 30 a day. Somewhere over 100000
was paid out quarterly The increase in the
number of pensioners was due largely to the
dependent pensions bill. But there was no
correspondingly large increase in the pay
ments because the pensions under that bill
were limited to Sl2 a month. There were
still some of the old pension claims coming
n from time to time.

No More Mining for Him.

Yes" observed a young lawyer to
n. Y, Herald man, II have been a
gold miner in my time, and / had
about all | wanted of it in that one
experience, | can assure you.
You see," he went on, II was pos
sessed with the idea when l left col
lege, some five Years ago. that I'd like
to 20 into gold mining as n business.
First I'd learn the practical part of it,
then I'd locate some valuable claim
somewhere and take things easy after
ward, merely taking out enough gold
to pay my running expenses. Sounds
well. doesn't it?
well, | had a couple of hundred
dollars saved up and with this bought
an outfit of rough clothing and ticket
for the west. Without going into de-
tails, | found myself. some two weeks
afterward, in Grizziy Flat, a mining
camp in Ell Dorado county, California.
My money was about gone, too. and,
as | hal 10 way of procuring addi-
tiOnal funds, | had to set to work
whether / wished to or not.
Il met a mine boss up there who
agreed. in consideration of $40 gold
piece-the last money | had-to give
me 4 job as helper in one of the lower
levels of his mine. The next day I
started out for my new field of labOrs.
1t was the dead of winter and bitter
cold. The snow was about two feet
deep on the level and through this we
had to tramp q distance of half mile
to the mine.
Thus far the outlook was not en-
couraging certainly. Here; get in the
cage there, said the boss pointing to
n bOX-like affair suspended over a hole
in the ground. With some misgiyings
l got aboard and then down we went.
'Down. down, until it seemed al
most as if we had reached the center
of the earth. 1t was dark as pitch,
too, save for the flickering rays of the
candle which | carried. Then / had
to crawl on my hands and knees
through narrow, damp passageway,
until we reached the face of the drift.
Here, JIM said the boss, here's a
new hand for you. Better set him to
work holding drill
Here, young feller, git hold on
this drill, will yer?' And as / instinct
lively obeyed Jim prepared to strike.
Whish! and down came the hammer
on the head of the drill. remem-
bered only seeing thousand stars and
then all became blank.
when l returned to consciousness
| found my arm in a sling. The blow
had glanced and the hammer had de-
scended on my forearm. You're in
luck; your arm isn't broken said the
mine boss; and then he added, with
evident contempt: Say. you're no
miner. l think school teaching is
more in your line
He was probably right. At any
rate managed to work my way back
10 the coast. and was glad enough to
see New York city again, l can tell
you. No, stree! no more gold or any
other kind of mining in mine. Not if
/ can help it."

TO BE CONTINUED.
For the Baby,

It is interesting TO observe how sudden,
ly the pathOs of anOther'S sorrow will turn
the cynical mood into the melting mood "
In our most impatient moments we all
have soft side" for the baby-whether
the little creature lies in the cradle or in
the coffin. A PittsGurg paper relates this
incident:
A little girl, who perhaps had starved
and drudged for dozen years, went into
the store Of a florist this morning, and the
timid, pathetic eyes, which were the sole
beauty of her pinchcd, unhealthy face,
eagerly watched a clerk who was busy
building q huge basket of roses.
Tie clerk, Icing busy, gave the girl q
sharp look and said "WcliI'
Il want some roses" said the girl shyly,
and in low voice.
How many?"
Can | get two white ones and a yellow
one and some green leaves for that?' and
she held out three dimes.
Yes" said the clerk shortly. and he
picked up three roses and proceeded to ar
fange them.
The little girl watched in silence until
the little bouquet was almost finished, and
then said, in an explanatory tone,
They're for the baby"
"What does baby want of fowersH"
exclaimed the clerk.
"She don't want them. She's dead,
you know"
Three more white roses went into the
cluster, and when they were given to the
child she exclaimed, ooh, how much is
it,"
"Nothingr said the clerk, and he pushed
the three little bits of silver back in the
hand which offered them, and plunged
half his body into the ice-cheSt in search
of something he did not want.
