Two German Words That Mean Much.

Two German Words That Mean Much.
German BARRIERS in New York have a
curious system Of signs and mysterious
words by which they indicate to each
other the tendency of customers to give
large tips, small tips or none at all. If
a new barber in large shop gets gen.
erous customer in his chair, a fellow
workman who has shaved the generous
customer before mutters in his ear,
"Brunz"-that is, "He tips" "Brunz"
is distinctively German product, and
till recently was never heard outside of
continental barber shops. Its greatest
merit is that it means nothing to per-
sons who are not BARRIERS, for it has no
Endorsement from the German dction-
aries, and does not even enjoy the ques-
tionable authority of student slang.
German BARRIERS in New York desig-
nate q man who gives no gratuities as a
''muff." Like "brunz," ''mufF' is no
word at all, and was invented by willy
continental BARRIERS for the needs of the
shop only. The amount of the tip to be
expected is revealed by the old journey
men to the new ones by various contor-
tions of the fingers and by low German
monosyllables of no apparent relevancy.

SEVERAL ACCIDENTS.
A Couple of Runaways and Some
Other MfShapS.

A Couple of RunawayS and Some
Other Mishaps.
Early in the afternoon yesterday All
Keung got ''rattled'' and drove his laun-
dry wagon into the double team of Mr..
Casselman, the hop man, which was
hitched on Fourth street, near X. The
whipple-tree of fCasselman's vehicle was
broken and the forward axle sprung.
About an hour after this accident two
young men, who work in the State Print
ing Office, were driving up Fourth street.
At j, they made a short turn and the re-
suit was that both were spilled out on the
street. Neither of the young men, how
ever, were badly hurt.
Not long after this there was a runa-
way on Fourth street. The horses at
tached to a farm wagon took fright and
started down from L in southerly di-
rection at a break-neck gait. At n street
the animals were stopped. Very little
damage was done.
A horse that was harnessed to light
cart took fright at one of the electric cars
near the Plaza last evening, and rearing
up on his hind legs fell back ON the shafts,
breaking them to splinters. The young
man who was driving the animal, Mr..
Wills, was thrown out and had his fore
head and nose skinned on the cobbles,
but was otherwise uninjured.

HENNESEY AND HIS KNIFE.
Special Officer EIdred's Narrow Escape
from Death.
Hennesey Stabs Colored Man and
Then Tries to Cut the
Officer.

A commotion on L street, near Third,
attracted Special Officer Eldred's atten-
ton last night shortly after o'clock.
Fastening to the scene of the trouble,
the officer found Frank Lee, colored
man, bleeding copiously from a knife
wound in his breast just above the heart.
There's the man that did it, said Lee,
directing the officers attention to white
man who was running across the street.
OFFICER ELDRED's ESCAPE.
The officer ran after the fugitive and
overhauied him. He exhibited his star
. and told the man he was under arrest.
Instead of submitting quietly, however,
the fellow raised his hand, in which
he still grasped the bloody knife,
with which he nearly killed Lee, and
made Il vicious lunge at the officer with
it. Eldred jumped back out Of the fell
lows reach just in time, probably, to save
his life. The officer then threw his pris-
oner down, and after disarming him,
took him to the Police Station, where a
charge of assault with deadly weapon
was entered. The prisoner gave his name
as Charles Hennesey.
Henneseys version Of the affair was
that he had been assaulted by Lee and
some other negroes and used the knife in
self-defense. He said he did not know
that Eldred was an officer, else he would
not have tried to cut him.
Lee claims that he was walking along
the street quietly when Hennesey, whom
he did not know, jostled him. Angry
words followed and then Hennesey cut
him.
AN ALLEGED EYEWITNESS
A young man named Shields, who says
he saw the whole affair, gives a version
OF it that is different from the story told
by either of the principals. He says
that Hennesey was sitting on the steps
leading into colored woman's bagnio,
when the occupant came out and threw q
pitcher of water over him. While Hem
Messy was demonstrating with her, says
Shields, Lee came out of saloon, near
by, and running up to where Hennesey
stood, struck him in the face. Two other
negroes were approaching, and Henne-
sey took out his pocket-knife, and slashed
Lee, after which he ran.
Officer Eidred says Hennesey's clothes
were not wet, and that he bore no marks
of having been struck. The officer will
probably put a second charge of assault
with a deadly weapon against the pris-
oner.
1t is not thought that Lee is danger
ouSly wounded.
