HOISTED INTO THE AIR.

Coal-Heaver Kennedy Hung Head Down
Until Black in tho Face.
Loud cries of Help" Murder" "Pm
killed." etc.. were heard yesterday forenoon
on board the British ship Buteshire, living at
Green-street Wharf. Ton Kennedy, a stall
wart son Of Erin, was dangling, head down.
from the big eoal-bncket as it swung in the
air. about the level of the main ward.

can't hang on much longer" cried Tom.
who was fastened by the leg, which had
been caught in the tripping-strap attached
to the bucket, and had been whipped IN
from tine bottom of the ship before he could
wink twice. The man at the engine was so
scared to see Kennedy so hanging that il
was feared he would let Tom, bucket and all
drop to the bottom of the ships hold. The
bucket was slowly lowered until those on
deck could reach the man, who by that time
was black in the face, and he was soon
landed right side up on deck. Tom soon
regained his composure, but he could not be
induced to do any more work before dinner.
This is the second time in four months that
he has bean hoisted in this manner.

1T WAS ONLY A CENT,
But 1t Created Much Trouble for til.
Governments.


Government.
Take care OF the pennies, and the dollars
will take care OF themselves" is an old
adage, but it is seldom that a single coin of
this value, issued by Uncle Sam, causes so
much mischief as it has just done in New
York"
Ii was the smartness Of an importers boy
which did il, creating q great amount of
trouble, loss of time and an expenditure of
the Governments money to an amount
many Thousand times the value of the error.
An importer who had goods in bond de-
sired to withdraw them by paying the
duties. The boy reckoned up the amount
OF duties and placed them at S142 %, for
which sum check was drawn I'D by his
employer. On reaching the CustOm-houSe
the boy found that the entries had been
passed by the Collector and naval officer at
Sl42 p, and dilemma at once arose.
The boy would not have time TO return to
his Office and have the check changed before
the Custom-house closed, and doubtless
fearing trouble with his employer who
wanted the goods released, he resolved on a
desperate experiment rather than face the
effect of his blunder.
The entries had been passed and checked
by both Collector and Naval Officer and tho
signature had been attached. Not suppos-
ing his trick would be discovered, the boy,
by stroke or two of the pen, changed the
q on the entry to IS, without noticing that
In adding the items the total could not be
produced.
As the total harmonized with tina check
signed by the employer the check was re-
ceived by the cashier and theentry passed
SO that the goods could be released. At the
close Of the days business the cash and en-
tries were compared, when the records of
both the Collectors and Naval Officers de-
partments were found to differ with the
cashiers by cent
As all errors have to be found ont. no
matter whether for 1 cent or $1,000 two
men in the Collectors Department and two
in that of the Naval Officer were. engaged
four hours before the alteration was discov-
cred. The employer had to be sent for and
the officials of both offices, including the
Special Depuly Collector and Special Deputy
Naval Officer, had to be confronted with
him, and this occupied more time. If the
time OF all the officials is taken into consid-
GRAFTON, it has cost the Government some
thing over 500 to correct the error of cent,
caused by the boys laundering smartness.-

was cross and it cried as only a baby with
strong lungs can cry.
The poor little mother was tired out try
ing to amuse it. Everybody was sorry for
her, bat no one could help her.
Presently the frivolous woman rose and
went down the aisle. A few words and the
baby changed hands.
She carried it back to Ber chair, let IL

Bold Burglary of Howard-street Houss
ON Sunday.
There is family on Howard strest
between Twenty-fourth and Tweptv.fifth
who will not in the future place anv great
amount of confidence in servant girls. This
present and future lack of faith in tbeir
servant girl is due to a small incident that
occurred last Sunday. The family went out
to spend the day. returning in the evening
in the expectancy OF the usual yesner
meal, but were doomed to disappointment
and even more dismay. On entering the
house no cheering lights or sayory Smell
greeted them; there was an oppressive darL.
ness and gloom.
When lights were finally secured scana
was presented to their sight which removed
their breath. The apartments looked as
though the family had moved. Things were
topsy, turvy, and various sundry pieces of
wearing apparel and ieweled trinkets had
taken flight, as had also the abigail. N"u

Jacob Jackson, the Yest-maker, concluded
his testimony for the claimant yesterday.
he told of several instances of McDonald's
recognition of the boy as his son. He was
followed on the stand by John Bayley. who
blandly testified THAI he is the father of six
teen children, of whom six had come in
couples to bless his home.
Bayley remembered the saloon which Nc
Donald kept early in the fifties at the south
west corner Of Sansome and California
streets. 1t was we'll known to the citizens
of those days as a place where Burton's

were manufactured. He corroborated the

Adolph Kohn won the hair-jumping con-
test with Joe Silyerstone last night at the
Olympian Skating Rink. A running jump
on roller skates. wherein the jumper vaults
over twenty or more chairs, plnced one after
the other on the floor, in simple leap, is.
to say the least. novel feature in rink
sports. And rink patrons seem to appre-
ciate this fact. for Mechanics Pavilion was
unusually crowded last night. The match
was for 500 q side and was very holly con-
tested. Kohn's best leap was over twenty
two chairs.
